THIRD QUARTER 2007
President’s Report
December 2007 New Debt Investment: Johnson Park Lofts
In spite of the continuing
turmoil in the mortgage and
credit markets, CDT’s
financial condition remains
solid. Our strong balance
sheet leaves us well-
positioned to take advantage
of new opportunities that provide liquidity to the
community development marketplace in 2008. Our
debt and equity portfolios continue to perform well
as evidenced by our 3rd quarter FFO of $0.21 per
share, which is discussed in more detail in the
Financial Summary section of the Newsletter.
In November, we held our quarterly Board of
Directors meeting in Dallas, Texas. This gave us
the opportunity to have our Directors visit several
of our debt and equity investments in the Dallas
market and get a better understanding of both the
challenges and opportunities that these investments In September 2007, CDT purchased a $1,015,000 first mortgage

consisted of 14 transactions from five states, including
both closed loans and forward commitments. Five of the
loans, totaling $8.7 million, were funded in September. The remaining loans are scheduled to fund in late 2007 and

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE
Debt Portfolio:
The portfolio’s September 30, 2007 weighted average DCR of 1.35 was down slightly compared to the June 30, 2007
DCR of 1.39. The strong DCR and the 4.3% weighted average vacancy rate continue to evidence the overall high
quality of the portfolio. At September 30, 2007, there were three loans in default. One loan, with a $5.1 million
principal balance, that was included in CDT’s 2004 loan securitization, remained in default. CDT provided an
overall guarantee of $3.3 million on that securitization. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, two loans with
aggregate principal balances of $1.3 million, defaulted. In each case, CDT is working with the borrowers to achieve
a satisfactory resolution of the issues.
Equity Portfolio: Occupancy
• Same Unit Occupancy at September 30, 2007 of 100%
90.4% was unchanged from the prior quarter.

In summary, third quarter 2007 operations at ten of the sixteen portfolio properties, owned over one year, improved
compared to the same quarter a year ago, but were offset by a significant decline in operations at one Texas property.
CDT continues to work closely with its partners and property management towards improving the performance of all
of the portfolio’s properties.

Operations - FFO per share for the third quarter of 2007 increased 16.7% to $0.21 per share versus $0.18 per share last
year. However, in dollar terms, FFO for the third quarter of 2007 was $1,108,424, down slightly from the $1,153,161
in the third quarter of 2006. The increase in FFO per share is primarily a result of fewer common shares outstanding in
2007.
For the first nine months of 2007, FFO was $2,755,897, down 3.5% from the $2,857,316 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. On a per share basis, FFO for the first nine months of 2007 was $0.51, compared to $0.55 for the
same period in 2006. The decline in FFO so far this year is primarily attributable to weaker performance in several of
our equity assets and lower fee income versus 2006.
Fair Market Value - CDT’s FMV as of September 30, 2007 is $12.49 per share, which represents a 6.8% decrease
from the FMV of $13.40 per share at June 30, 2007 and a decrease of 8.4% from the $13.64 FMV per share at
September 30, 2006.
