CHICAGO, Aug. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Deerfield Triarc Capital
Corp. (NYSE:DFR) today announced the results of operations for its
second quarter ended June 30, 2007. HIGHLIGHTS -- Net income of
$14.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share -- Estimated REIT
taxable income, a non-GAAP financial measure, of $21.3 million, or
$0.41 per diluted common share -- Dividend distribution of $0.42
per share, equal to the past two quarters -- Net interest income
increased 28.5% over the prior year quarter -- Second quarter
increase of 8.6% in the structured and syndicated assets portion of
the alternative investments portfolio to $514.4 million -- Book
value per share of $13.07 at June 30, 2007 -- Economic book value
per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, of $13.23 at June 30, 2007
(see Book Value section that follows) -- Closed the DFR Middle
Market CLO Ltd. collateralized loan obligation transaction in July
2007 -- Announced definitive agreement to purchase Deerfield &
Company LLC, a leading fixed income manager and DFR's external
manager Results of Operations Net income for the quarter ended June
30, 2007 totaled $14.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share,
compared with net income of $18.2 million, or $0.35 per share, for
the second quarter of 2006. The decrease reflected net losses in
the trading securities portfolio, a $5.1 million provision for loan
losses and less favorable results from sales of available-for-sale
("AFS") securities and loan trading activity. Providing a partial
offset was higher net interest income and better results in the
derivative trading portfolio. Net interest income of $27.2 million
increased 28.5% over the prior year. The improvement was largely
driven by enhanced returns in the RMBS portfolio and a better mix
of higher yielding alternative investments. A $5.1 million
provision for loan losses was recognized in the current quarter
representing 100% of our investment in a residential mortgage
lender that filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in July. The mortgage
lender lost access to funding lines reflecting significant
liquidity constriction in several financial markets. This is the
only corporate loan in our portfolio in this industry group. The
provision for loan loss was also recognized as a deduction in
taxable income this quarter, and as a result, we expect no ongoing
book or tax impact from this investment. Expenses totaled $5.2
million, down by $0.3 million, or 5.3%, from the prior year. The
decrease was primarily due to lower incentive fees paid. Other
income and gain (loss) was a net loss of $2.5 million in the
quarter, compared with a net gain of $2.6 million in the prior
year. The loss primarily reflected lower valuations in the trading
securities portfolio, negligible net gain (loss) on AFS securities
in the current quarter compared to $1.2 million net gain in the
prior year quarter, and current period net losses on loans.
Providing a partial offset was a net gain on the derivatives
trading portfolio. There was no interest-only strip impairment
recorded in the current quarter compared to $0.2 million in the
second quarter of 2006. Estimated REIT taxable income, a non-GAAP
financial measure, for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, totaled
$21.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share. For a
reconciliation of GAAP net income to estimated REIT taxable income,
see the attached schedule. Jonathan Trutter, chief executive
officer, said, "Despite some recent challenges in the financial
markets, especially credit oriented segments, we were able to
maintain the dividend payout rate. This is in large part due to the
strong results this quarter in the core RMBS portfolio and our
diversified business strategy. We still estimate a cushion of
approximately $0.08 to $0.13 per share of taxable earnings in
excess of dividends declared available for distribution in the
balance of 2007." Investment Portfolio The following table

notional value of $50.0 million and $13.5 million, respectively.
(2) Includes $1.5 million of participating interests in commercial
mortgage loans. (3) Includes $8.5 million of high yield corporate
bonds. (4) Includes non agency-backed RMBS, CMBS and other ABS. (5)
$8.9 million of allowance for loan losses has not been deducted
from loan amounts. Total invested assets grew 0.9% to $8.8 billion
as of June 30, 2007 compared to the end of 2006. The increase
reflected growth of $61.8 million in the RMBS portfolio and $19.8
million in the alternative investment portfolio, respectively.
Mortgage Securities Investment Portfolio During the second quarter
of 2007, the RMBS portfolio decreased by 1.5% to $7.8 billion from
$7.9 billion as of March 31, 2007. At June 30, 2007, the aggregate
amortized cost of RMBS exceeded its aggregate estimated fair value
by $132.7 million. Unrecognized net gains of $77.6 million on
interest rate swaps designated as a hedge provided a favorable
offset. The net portfolio duration, which is the difference between
the duration of the RMBS and that of the repurchase agreements
funding these investments, adjusted for the effects of the
company's swap portfolio, was approximately 0.40 years at June 30,
2007. Net return on average investment in the RMBS portfolio
increased to 69 basis points compared to 67 basis points in the
first quarter 2007. The net return on average net investment in the
RMBS portfolio improved as well, by 156 basis points to 10.50%. The
higher returns reflect the results of portfolio repositioning
actions taken over the past several quarters. The mortgage-backed
securities holdings consisted primarily of hybrid adjustable rate
and fixed rate bonds as of June 30, 2007, as follows: Par and

the security. The values represented in this table are estimates
only and the results of a third party financial model. (4) Modified

value per 100 basis point change in interest rates. (5) Interest-
and principal-only strips represent solely the interest or
principal portion of a security. Therefore the notional amount
reflected should not be used as a comparison to fair value. Fixed
rate securities totaled 23.4% of the RMBS portfolio as of June 30,
2007. The company has hedged a substantial portion of the borrowing
costs associated with the repurchase agreements funding the RMBS
portfolio using interest rate swaps, which are accounted for as
cash flow hedges under GAAP. The RMBS portfolio consists entirely
of agency issued or AAA rated securities, thus valuations in this
portfolio have been much less impacted by the weakness in the
subprime residential market. A limited amount of exposure to
subprime residential mortgages exists in the alternative investment
portfolio as discussed in the following section. Alternative
Investments Portfolio Complementing the mortgage securities segment
of the portfolio are alternative investments that represent
attractive yield and diversification opportunities. During the
second quarter of 2007, the structured and syndicated assets
portion of this portfolio increased by 8.6% to $514.4 million from
$473.5 million at March 31, 2007. The net return on average net
investment in this portfolio was 22.03%, up from 19.98% in the
first quarter of 2007. This benefit was offset by the $5.1 million
provision for loan loss in the second quarter discussed earlier.
The alternative investments portfolio also includes asset backed
securities ("ABS") in the Pinetree ABS CDO ("Pinetree") totaling
$301.5 million (par amount) at June 30, 2007, of which $180.9
million are collateralized by subprime residential mortgages.
Economic exposure to Pinetree, and therefore to subprime mortgage
collateral, however, is limited to the company's original $12
million investment. (See discussion regarding Book Value below for
a more detailed explanation of the accounting impact in the second
quarter of 2007 related to our investment in Pinetree). Commenting
on the alternative investments portfolio, Mr. Trutter noted, "We
are pleased with the closing of the DFR Middle Market CLO Ltd. in
mid-July which provided long-term financing and created capacity
for continued growth in structured and syndicated assets. Going
forward, we believe that the current correction in credit markets
will enhance the availability of investment opportunities with
attractive risk-adjusted returns." Liquidity The most significant
use of leverage in DFR is the repurchase agreement (repo) financing
of our agency and AAA rated RMBS portfolio. DFR manages short-term
liquidity requirements by maintaining a portfolio of unencumbered
RMBS and overnight investments. Unencumbered RMBS are available to
meet margin calls on existing repo agreements and to pledge against
new repo borrowings. The repo borrowings are primarily 90-day
contracts that generally rollover and reprice at maturity.
Unencumbered RMBS as of June 30, 2007 totaled $189.4 million. As of
July 31, 2007, unencumbered RMBS has increased to $229.4 million.
Longer term funding is in the form of trust preferred securities
and CDO borrowings. Borrowings under our warehouse funding
agreement following the July 17, 2007 closing of DFR Middle Market
CLO Ltd. totaled approximately $120 million. Commenting on
liquidity, Mr. Trutter noted, "We are very focused on liquidity and
believe our current position is sufficient to sustain normal
operation of core business activity." Dividend As previously
announced, a quarterly distribution of $0.42 per share of common
stock was declared for the second quarter of 2007, to shareholders
of record as of August 7, 2007, payable on August 28, 2007. The
following table summarizes our dividends declared to-date in 2007
and 2006. Declaration Record Payment Dividend Date Date Date Per
Share 04/23/07 05/07/07 05/30/07 $0.42 07/24/07 08/07/07 08/28/07

12/29/06 01/30/07 0.42 Total - 2006 $1.56 Book Value Book value per
share at June 30, 2007, was $13.07 compared to $13.40 at March 31,
2007. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower retained
earnings, higher temporary impairment charges in equity on the RMBS
portfolio due to higher intermediate-term interest rates, and
temporary impairment charges totaling $20.7 million on Pinetree CDO
investment securities, or $0.40 per share. As indicated earlier,
approximately $181 million par amount of Pinetree securities are
collateralized by subprime mortgages, of which all but 0.4% are
investment grade. Although the full amount of $0.40 per share of
temporary impairment is required by generally accepted accounting
principles as a charge to equity, the company's economic risk is
limited to its $12 million equity investment in Pinetree, or $0.23
per share. To date, the company has received approximately $4.7
million in distributions from the Pinetree CDO on the original
investment of $12 million. Please refer to supplementary schedules
provided in this release for further detail regarding the Pinetree
portfolio. Definitive Agreement to Purchase Deerfield & Company
LLC As noted on April 20, 2007, DFR announced that it has entered
into a definitive agreement to acquire Deerfield & Company LLC
("Deerfield") from Triarc Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TRYNYSE:TRY.B),
which owns a controlling interest in Deerfield, and its other
members for an aggregate consideration of approximately $290
million, consisting of approximately 9,635,000 million shares of
DFR common stock having a value at the date of the Agreement of
approximately $145 million and $145 million in cash. Deerfield,
which is DFR's external manager, is a Chicago-based registered
investment advisor with offices in New York and London that
specializes in credit and structured investment solutions and
products. By acquiring Deerfield, DFR will internalize its
investment manager, which will enhance the efficiency of its cost
structure and create unanimity of economic interests among its
manager, employees and shareholders. This should enhance earnings,
produce higher returns on equity and we would expect shareholders
to be rewarded with an expansion of our valuation multiple.
Finally, Deerfield's brand positioning as an alternative investment
manager should be enhanced by the combination, thereby providing
DFR with greater access to two key business ingredients: additional
capital and new talent. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of
all closing conditions, we anticipate completing the Deerfield
transaction in the several business days after our stockholders'
approval of the issuance of the DFR shares that will be issued in
the transaction, which is being considered at our annual
stockholders meeting scheduled for August 9, 2007. Conference Call

statements in this press release that are not historical facts,
including, most importantly, information concerning possible or
assumed future results of operations of Deerfield Triarc Capital
Corp. ("Deerfield Triarc" or the "company") and statements preceded
by, followed by, or that include the words "may," "believes,"
"plans," "expects," "anticipates" or the negation thereof, or
similar expressions, constitute "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
(the "Reform Act"). All statements that address operating
performance, events or developments that are expected or
anticipated to occur in the future, including statements related to
revenue growth, earnings per share growth or statements expressing
general optimism about future operating results, are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act.
These forward-looking statements are based on our current
expectations, speak only as of the date of this press release and
are susceptible to a number of risks, uncertainties and other
factors. Our actual results, performance and achievements may
differ materially from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. For those statements, we claim the protection of the
safe harbor for forward- looking statements contained in the Reform
Act. Many important factors could affect our future results and
could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed
in the forward-looking statements contained herein. Such factors
include higher than expected prepayment rates on the mortgages
underlying our mortgage securities holdings; our inability to
obtain favorable interest rates or margin terms on the financing
that we need to leverage our mortgage securities and other
positions; increased rates of default on our loan portfolio (which
risk rises as the portfolio seasons), and decreased recovery rates
on defaulted loans; flattening or inversion of the yield curve
(short term rates increasing at greater rate than longer term
rates), reducing our net interest income on our financed mortgage
securities positions; our inability adequately to hedge our
holdings sensitive to changes in interest rates; narrowing of
credit spreads, thus decreasing our net interest income on future
credit investments (such as bank loans); changes in REIT
qualification requirements, making it difficult for us to conduct
our investment strategy; lack of availability of qualifying real
estate-related investments; disruption in the services we receive
from our Manager, such as loss of key portfolio management
personnel; our inability to continue to issue collateralized debt
obligation vehicles (which can provide us with attractive financing
for our debt securities investments); adverse changes in accounting
principles, tax law, or legal/regulatory requirements; competition
with other REITs for investments with limited supply; changes in
the general economy or the debt markets in which we invest; the
recent dislocations in the sub-prime mortgage sector and weakness
in the broader mortgage market, and their potential effect on our
ability to obtain financing, our financing costs, the marketability
and value of our portfolio securities, our book value, our
compliance with REIT qualification requirements, and other aspects
of our business; the various risks relating to the Deerfield
transaction, including the dilution of our common stock, the
indebtedness we will incur to complete the transaction, the ongoing
risks of Deerfield's business (such as the decline in advisory fee
revenue due to weak investment performance or withdrawal of client
assets under management) and Deerfield's revenue being subject to
income tax; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed from time
to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and
many of which are beyond our control. All future written and oral
forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting
on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
cautionary statements contained or referenced above. New risks and
uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us
to predict these events or how they may affect us. We assume no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date
of this press release as a result of new information, future events
or developments, except as required by federal securities laws. In
addition, it is our policy generally not to make any specific
projections as to future earnings, and we do not endorse any
projections regarding future performance that may be made by third
parties. DEERFIELD TRIARC CAPITAL CORP. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Taxable earnings per diluted share (1) $0.44 $0.41 $0.86 (1)
Quarters may not sum to period-to-date due the calculation of
earnings per share for each period on a stand-alone basis. The
company believes that the presentation of estimated REIT taxable
income is useful because it indicates the estimated minimum amount
of distributions it must make in order to avoid corporate level
income tax. However, beyond its intent to distribute to
stockholders at least 90% of REIT taxable income on an annual basis
in order to maintain our REIT qualification, the company does not
expect that the amount of distributions it makes will necessarily
correlate to estimated REIT taxable income. Rather, the company
expects to determine the amount of distributions to make based on
cash flow, GAAP net income and what it believes to be an
appropriate and competitive dividend yield relative to other
specialty finance companies and mortgage REITs. Estimated REIT
taxable income will not necessarily bear any close relation to cash
flow. Accordingly, the company does not consider estimated REIT
taxable income to be a reliable measure of liquidity although the
related distribution requirement can impact liquidity and capital
resources. Moreover, there are limitations associated with
estimated REIT taxable income as a measure of financial performance
over any period, and the presentation of estimated REIT taxable
income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other
companies, which may use different calculations. As a result,
estimated REIT taxable income should not be considered as a
substitute for GAAP net income as a measure of financial
performance. DATASOURCE: Deerfield Triarc Capital Corp. CONTACT:
