We closed the transaction creating CVC Credit Partners, realizing a gain of $54.7 million, receiving gross proceeds of $25.0 million in cash, retaining the right to collect substantial incentive fees and owning 33% of a world-class global credit management business. This demonstrates the quality and value of our asset management platforms. Our real estate business continues to grow, with revenues increasing over 12% from the preceding quarter, and Resource Capital Corp. continues to grow its capital base -- which also grows our management fees -- while earning and distributing substantial amounts. Our balance sheet is strong, with a solid cash position, very little debt and a book value per share of approximately $7.60."

LEAF's commercial finance assets as of June 30, 2012 increased by 59% from September 30, 2011.
LEAF's growth was assisted by its expanded internal and field sales presence that provides dedicated support to its top-priority dealers and national accounts. LEAF's sales team works with key dealers and branch offices of its national accounts partners by developing unique offerings and providing a full range of support meant to increase their sales volume throughout multiple sales distribution channels. Vendor Program Agreements were executed with multiple new program partners, including national equipment manufacturers, independent dealers and value added resellers in the office equipment, technology, light industrial and telephony segments. LEAF has expanded its origination staff by 31% since September 30, 2011.
Award Recognition: LEAF was recently notified that it has been selected as the winner of the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association's ("ELFA") prestigious 2012 Operations & Technology Excellence Award. The award is presented annually to companies that clearly demonstrate innovation and best practices in using technology to deliver operational solutions to the equipment leasing and finance industry.
The award to LEAF was based on the state-of-the-art redesign of its originations portal and cost-per-usage product. The redesign allows LEAF's customers, the equipment vendor, to originate and close leasing transactions in an expedited manner by moving their end users through the sales cycle faster, without delays. The new solution includes online and mobile enabled capabilities to streamline credit applications and documentation turnaround by allowing the user to easily customize price, submit, track transactions, and close leasing transactions in real-time from virtually any location for transactions including different types of equipment and software blended together. The LEAF cost per usage program, 360 degrees CPU, was completely automated to retrieve meter-read data directly from an equipment vendor's in-house system. This turnkey process saves time and eliminates the source of most billing errors.
