The events occurring in the credit markets from the second half of 2007 until mid to late 2010, have impacted our financing and investing strategies and, as a result, our ability to originate new investments and to grow. Historically, we have used CDOs as a principal source of long-term match-funded financing; however, the market for securities issued by new securitizations collateralized by assets similar to those in our investment portfolio had largely disappeared through early to mid 2010. Short-term financing through warehouse lines of credit and repurchase agreements had become largely unavailable and unreliable as increasing volatility in the valuation of assets similar to those we originate had increased the risk of margin calls. During 2010, we began to see the frozen credit markets thaw and we closed on a new $120.0 million securitization with respect to an equipment leasing portfolio in May 2010. In addition, in February 2011, we entered into a $100.0 million, two year term facility with Wells Fargo to purchase CMBS.
On the asset side, we invested $5.0 million through Resource TRS, our taxable REIT subsidiary, in structured finance vehicles, principally CLO equity, which we have classified as trading securities. Because of the success of that new investment, we committed an additional $8.0 million through February 2011. We also began to cautiously reenter the CRE lending market in the fourth quarter of 2010 and through February 2011 have closed on three new whole loans totaling $24.2 million. We also purchased three newly underwritten CMBS for $7.2 million in February 2011 in conjunction with the Wells Fargo facility. Furthermore, in January 2011, we ve continued to invest in the lease receivable portfolio and made a preferred stock investment in Leaf Commercial Capital, Inc, a recently formed equipment leasing enterprise and a subsidiary of our Manager. In February 2011, we purchased a company that manages $1.9 billion of bank loan assets and are entitled to collect senior, subordinated and incentive management fees. These recent asset purchases and credit market events indicate that we expect to be able to invest a significant portion of our available unrestricted and restricted cash balances and, as a result, modestly grow our net interest income in 2011.
Managing our investment portfolio. As of December 31, 2010, we managed $1.9 billion of assets, including $1.5 billion of assets financed and held in CDOs. The core of our management process is credit analysis which we use to actively monitor our existing investments and as a basis for evaluating new investments. Senior management of our Manager and Resource America has extensive experience in underwriting the credit risk associated with our targeted asset classes, and conducts detailed due diligence on all credit-sensitive investments, including the use of proprietary credit stratifications and collateral stress analysis. After making an investment, the Manager and Resource America engage in active monitoring of our investments for early detection of troubled and deteriorating assets. If a default occurs, we will use our senior management team s asset management skills in seeking to mitigate the severity of any losses, and we will seek to optimize the recovery from assets if we foreclose upon them.
Debt repurchase. We have been able to take advantage of market illiquidity that resulted in limited trading of CDO notes issued in our two commercial real estate, or CRE, CDO securitizations by buying these debt securities at substantial discounts to par. This strategy, which has generated significant gains on the extinguishment of the debt, has allowed us to mitigate credit losses in our loan and lease portfolio and impairment losses in our investment securities portfolio. In 2010, we bought $91.4 million par value of our CRE CDO debt, a discount to par of 38%, for approximately $56.7 million. As a result, our gain on the extinguishment of debt for 2010 was $34.6 million which offset in part the credit and impairment losses we realized in 2010.

Highlight of Business Operations:
Beginning in the second half of 2007, there have been unprecedented disruptions in the credit markets, abrupt and significant devaluations of assets directly or indirectly linked to the U.S. real estate finance markets, and the attendant removal of liquidity, both long and short term, from the capital markets. These conditions have had, and we expect will continue to have, an adverse effect on us and companies we finance, particularly with respect to our legacy commercial real estate related assets. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded provisions for loan and lease losses of $43.3 million and $61.4 million, respectively. All of the 2010 provisions are directly attributable to our commercial real estate loan portfolio, which were offset slightly by reductions with respect to the bank loan portfolio. We also recorded net impairment losses of $26.8 million and $13.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, on our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities. The vast majority of these impairments come from our CMBS portfolio. In addition, we recorded losses through other comprehensive income of $19.3 million and $47.6 million on our available-for-sale portfolio as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Based on these trends, our legacy CRE investments worsened, while the bank loan and lease receivable portfolios improved.The events occurring in the credit markets from the second half of 2007 until mid to late 2010, have impacted our financing and investing strategies and, as a result, our ability to originate new investments and to grow.
