MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JER Investors Trust Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: JERT) today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009:

Second Quarter Highlights:

    --  Liquidity:  At June 30, 2009, we had $1.8 million in unrestricted cash
        and net borrowings on our repurchase agreement of $11.1 million.  As of
        August 5, 2009, unrestricted cash decreased to $1.2 million and net
        borrowings on our repurchase agreement declined to $10.4 million.
        --  Adjusted Funds from Operations:  Adjusted Funds from Operations
            ("AFFO"), a non-GAAP measure, was $0.8 million and $5.1
            million, or $0.15 and $1.01 per Adjusted Diluted Common Share
            ("ADCS"), for the three and six months ended June 30,
            2009, respectively.  See reconciliations of net income (loss)
            determined in accordance with GAAP to AFFO at the end of this
            release.
    --  Operating Results:  Net loss was $8.7 million and $27.0 million, or
        $(1.67) and $(5.35), per ADCS, for the three and six months ended June
        30, 2009, respectively.
    --  Stockholders' Equity:  Stockholders' equity at June 30, 2009
        was $20.4 million, or $3.49 per common share.
    --  Real Estate Loan Portfolio Credit Statistics: There were no
        delinquencies or loss reserves established related to real estate loans
        as of June 30, 2009.
    --  CMBS Portfolio Credit Statistics: Outlined below are credit statistics
        relating to the approximately $47 billion of unpaid principal balance of
        commercial real estate loans as of June 30, 2009, representing
        approximately 3,500 loans, that serve as collateral for our
        "first-loss" conduit CMBS investments.
        --  60-day and greater delinquencies on loan collateral underlying our
            CMBS "first-loss" investments was 249 basis points at June
            30, 2009 compared to 165 basis points at March 31, 2009.  As of July
            31, 2009, the 60-day and greater delinquency rate increased to 284
            basis points.
        --  Special servicing portfolio at June 30, 2009 consisted of 154 loans
            with an unpaid principal balance of approximately $2.8 billion.  As
            of August 5, 2009, the number of loans in special servicing
            increased to 166 loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of
            approximately $3.0 billion.  Of the $3.0 billion of loan balances in
            special servicing, 40 loans totaling $1.4 billion are current, 6
            loans totaling $40.6 million have been foreclosed upon and 120 loans
            totaling $1.5 billion are delinquent and are in monetary default.
            Based on the evaluation of the collateral properties underlying the
            CMBS investments and giving consideration to the workout status of
            the respective loans, we have incorporated estimates of future loan
            loss projections on the underlying collateral into the cash flow
            projections for such CMBS investments.
    --  CMBS Portfolio Loss Projections:  Primarily due to the continuing
        increases in delinquencies and the special servicing portfolio, as well
        as current weakness in the real estate and credit markets, we increased
        our loss projections on the approximately $47 billion of commercial real
        estate loan collateral underlying our CMBS "first-loss"
        investments as of June 30, 2009 to approximately $1.4 billion
        (approximately 3.0% of the unpaid principal balance of such loans) from
        approximately $1.2 billion (approximately 2.5% of the unpaid principal
        balance of such loans) at March 31, 2009, as compared to 1.4% at
        original underwriting.  In addition, we accelerated the projected timing
        of such losses and currently estimate that approximately 64% of the
        total projected losses will occur through 2011 compared to approximately
        60% in our March 31, 2009 loss projections, and approximately 15% in our
        original underwriting. Cumulative actual realized losses and cumulative
        appraisal reduction amounts on the underlying loans serving as
        collateral for our "first-loss" conduit CMBS investments
        through June 30, 2009 were approximately $17.3 million and $227.4
        million, respectively.  As we continue to monitor developments in our
        portfolio and the overall macroeconomic environment, loss reserves may
        increase in the future in response to further deterioration in the real
        estate and credit markets.

    --  Other Than Temporary Impairment Charges: During the three and six months
        ended June 30, 2009, we recorded $3.9 million and $18.4 million,
        respectively, of impairment charges related to our CMBS investments that
        are not financed by CDOs and relate to declines in the projected net
        present value of future cash flows related to individual CMBS
        investments and other than temporary impairment charges on our CMBS
        driven by the duration and severity of our unrealized losses on various
        CMBS bonds pursuant to EITF 99-20 and FSP 115-2.

Recent Events

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we entered into an agreement with two holders of our outstanding trust preferred securities ("TRUPs") with an aggregate liquidation amount of $56.3 million to exchange such TRUPs for the following: (i) $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of junior subordinated notes due in 2037 (the "Notes"); (ii) the issuance of 307,203 unregistered shares of our common stock; and/or (iii) certain cash payments. Additionally, we entered into an agreement with a third holder of TRUPs with an aggregate liquidation amount of $3.7 million to exchange such TRUPs for 541,906 unregistered shares of our common stock and certain cash payments.

An aggregate of $60.0 million of TRUPs have been cancelled through August 1, 2009 in conjunction with these exchanges, and all interest payment obligations on the TRUPs through the July 31, 2009 interest payment date have been satisfied.

The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 0.5% annually through April 29, 2012 or such earlier date as we elect. Thereafter, we will pay interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.25% annually.

On July 20, 2009, we and our manager entered into an amendment to the management agreement whereby we agreed, effective as of April 1, 2009, that during the months of April, May, June, July, August and September, 2009, (i) we shall not be required to make any payments of base management fees and/or incentive fees otherwise due and payable under the management agreement in excess of $75,000 per month and (ii) any fees accruing and otherwise payable under the management agreement in excess of $75,000 per month shall be deferred and due and payable by us to the manager on such date after September 30, 2009 as we shall mutually agree in writing.

Liquidity

As previously disclosed, the Company has undertaken or expects to commence certain efforts to reduce expenses and preserve liquidity including: (i) discontinuing payment of quarterly dividends and replacing it with payment of an annual dividend to the extent required to satisfy REIT dividend requirements, (ii) seeking to reduce operating costs, primarily our general and administrative costs, (iii) seeking to restructure terms of our recourse indebtedness including extension of scheduled maturity dates and/or modification of near-term interest payment requirements; and (iv) if necessary, pursue sales of selected assets.

During 2009, we have exchanged $56.3 million of our TRUPs into junior subordinated notes, and cancelled $3.7 million of TRUPs thereby reducing quarterly cash interest payments from approximately $1.1 million per quarter on the TRUPs to approximately $0.1 million per quarter on the junior subordinated notes through April 2012. In addition, we amended our note payable to reduce monthly payments from approximately $0.4 million to $75,000 from July through September 2009, and amended our agreement with the Manager to reduce cash basis monthly base management fees to $75,000 from April to September 2009. However, our primary source of free operating cash flow are our non-CDO CMBS investments. Cash flow from these investments have declined from approximately $6.9 million in the first quarter of 2009 to approximately $4.0 million during the second quarter of 2009 due to deteriorating macroeconomic and commercial real estate conditions evidenced by increasing delinquencies, special servicing activity and the appraisal reductions on collateral for such investments. This decline in non-CDO CMBS cash flow has adversely affected our liquidity.

Borrowings

With respect to liabilities, at June 30, 2009, total liabilities were $240.8 million. The individual components of our liabilities are described below:

    --  $116.1 million (or 48.2% of total liabilities) represents the estimated
        fair value of borrowings in the form of long-term,
        "match-funded" notes payable issued to third parties relating
        to our two collateralized debt obligation offerings, CDO I and CDO II
        with an aggregate face amount of $964.0 million.  CDO I and CDO II are
        not subject to "margin calls" based on mark-to-market fair
        value determinations of the underlying collateral and are generally
        non-recourse to the Company.
    --  $11.1 million (or 4.6% of total liabilities) represents net borrowings
        under short-term repurchase facilities with JPMorgan.  The facility is
        generally subject to "margin calls" based on mark-to-market
        fair value determinations of the underlying collateral and is fully
        recourse to us.
    --  $9.0 million (or 3.7% of total liabilities) represents a note payable
        the Company entered into as a result of the restructuring of four
        interest rate swaps. We have reflected this agreement as a note payable
        on our consolidated balance sheets as it does not meet the definition of
        a derivative.  In July 2009, we amended this agreement and as a result
        of such amendment, we will pay a fixed monthly amount of $75,000 through
        September 2009, then increasing to approximately $0.5 million through
        September 2010 and then decreasing to approximately $0.4 million through
        February 2017.
    --  $58.3 million (or 24.2% of total liabilities) represents the cost basis
        of borrowings in the form of Notes with a face amount of $70.3 million. 
        The Notes will pay interest at a rate of 0.5% through April 2012 and
        LIBOR plus 2.25% thereafter through maturity in April 2037.  These Notes
        are not subject to "margin calls" based on mark-to-market fair
        value determinations of underlying collateral but are fully recourse to
        us.  These Notes were issued as part of the exchange and cancellation of
        $56.3 million of face amount of TRUPs in May 2009.
    --  $0.6 million (or 0.3% of total liabilities) represents borrowings in the
        form of unsecured junior subordinated debentures.  These junior
        subordinated debentures are not subject to "margin calls"
        based on mark-to-market fair value determinations of underlying
        collateral but are fully recourse to us.  These junior subordinated
        debentures were cancelled in connection with the exchange and
        cancellation of the final $0.6 million of outstanding TRUPs on July 30,
        2009 for $0.1 million in cash.
    --  $41.2 million (or 17.1% of total liabilities) represents the fair value
        of our CDO-related pay-fixed interest rate swaps with a notional balance
        at June 30, 2009 of $413.1 million and a weighted-average interest rate
        of 5.1%.

    --  $4.5 million (or 1.9% of total liabilities) consists of amounts due to
        affiliates of $1.0 million, trade payables and other liabilities.

As of June 30, 2009, we are in compliance with all of our debt covenants with the exception of certain CDO II over-collateralization coverage tests. As previously announced, CDO II did not meet certain over-collateralization coverage tests in February 2009, resulting in approximately $5.2 million and $9.5 million of cash that would have otherwise been paid to JERT during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, being redirected to repay principal on certain senior notes payable issued by CDO II. We expect this cash flow redirection to continue for the foreseeable future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this earnings release, we may disclose non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. In addition, we have used non-GAAP financial measures, in particular Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, as well as earnings (loss) per adjusted diluted common share, or ADCS, in this press release. A reconciliation of AFFO and earnings (loss) per ADCS and the comparable GAAP financial measure (net income, assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity and earnings per share, as applicable) can be found at the end of this earnings release.

Generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") require that we retrospectively restate earnings per share for our 1-for-10 reverse stock split that occurred on February 20, 2009. However, under GAAP, we are precluded from retrospectively restating earnings per common share for our stock dividend paid on January 30, 2009 as a portion of this dividend was paid in cash. Management believes that it is meaningful to investors to disclose the retrospective effect of both the 1-for-10 reverse stock split as well as the stock dividend. Accordingly, we are presenting non-GAAP earnings per Adjusted Diluted Common Share ("ADCS"). See a reconciliation of earnings and AFFO per common share calculated under GAAP to earnings per ADCS at the end of this release.

    (1)  GAAP requires that we retrospectively restate earnings per share for
         our 1-for-10 reverse stock split that occurred on February 20, 2009.
         However, under GAAP, we are precluded from retrospectively restating
         earnings per share for our stock dividend paid on January 30, 2009
         as a portion of this dividend was paid in cash.  Management believes
         it is meaningful to investors to disclose the retrospective effect
         of both the 1-for-10 reverse stock split as well as the stock
         dividend.  Accordingly, we are presenting the non-GAAP measure
         earnings per Adjusted Diluted Common Share ("ADCS").
