Consolidated Financial Statements

 

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and

for the Years Ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010

 



 

Independent Auditors’ Report

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Executive Trustee Services, LLC (the “Company”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Residential Capital, LLC, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Ally Financial Inc. which are comprised of the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, changes in Parent Company Investment and Cash Flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012 and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.  In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an audit opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 



 

Emphasis of Matter Regarding Purpose of Financial Statements

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been derived from the accounting records of Residential Capital, LLC and have been prepared for purposes of the transaction discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.  These consolidated financial statements include expense and other allocations from Residential Capital, LLC and as such, these consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and its cash flows had it operated as a separate entity apart from Residential Capital, LLC.  Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

EXECUTIVE TRUSTEE SERVICES, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

These consolidated financial statements are intended to present the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Executive Trustee Services, LLC and its subsidiaries (which may be referred to as ETS, the Company, we, us or our).  ETS is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Residential Capital, LLC (“ResCap” or the “Parent Company”), which is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Ally Financial Inc. (“Ally”).  The Company is headquartered in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania and provides recovery, non-judicial foreclosure trustee and reconveyance services.

 

ResCap Bankruptcy

 

On May 14, 2012, ResCap and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

 

These consolidated financial statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the potential consequences of ResCap’s bankruptcy proceedings on the Company, and they do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these proceedings except to the extent they relate specifically to the Company.  These consolidated financial statements are intended to present the operations of the Company, which operated as part of ResCap during all of the periods presented.

 

Transactions after Year-End

 

On February 15, 2013, Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC (“Ocwen”) acquired the rights to perform foreclosure trustee, reconveyance and recovery services from ResCap. ETS continued to perform foreclosure trustee services on the foreclosures referred to ETS prior to the sale.  As of June 26, 2013, these foreclosures have been transferred to other service providers. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis taking into consideration the completion of the Ocwen acquisition.  On April 12, 2013, Ocwen subsequently sold the exclusive rights to perform the recovery and foreclosure trustee services to Altisource Solutions S.à r.l. (the “Agreement”). The Agreement together with the existing services agreements and their amendments are collectively referred to as the Master Services Agreements. Altisource Solutions S.à r.l. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“Altisource”). The right to perform reconveyance services was excluded from the Agreement.

 

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation —The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of ResCap, principally from records representing the Company’s operations.  The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses directly attributable to our operations.  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Transactions between the Company and ResCap and its subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements.  Receivables and payables resulting from these intercompany transactions have been classified as Parent Company investment in the consolidated balance sheets since there is no required payment term on such amounts.

 

7



 

The consolidated financial statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission as the Agreement represents a significant acquisition (as defined) for Altisource.  The consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the Company’s future performance and does not necessarily reflect what its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had the Company operated as an independent entity during the periods presented.

 

Revenue Recognition — We recognize revenue from the services we provide in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”).  ASC 605 sets forth guidance as to when revenue is realized or realizable and earned, which is generally when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been performed; (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.  Generally, the contract terms for these services are relatively short in duration, and we recognize revenue as the services are performed either on a transaction or a fixed price basis.  For foreclosure trustee and reconveyance services, we recognize revenue for the majority of these services on completion of the service to our client.  For recovery services, we generally earn fees as a percentage of the amount we collect on behalf of the investor.

 

Defined Contribution 401(k) Plan — Some of our employees participate in a defined contribution 401(k) plan sponsored by Ally under which we may make matching contributions equal to a discretionary percentage determined by us.  We recorded expense related to the employer match of $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, included in compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Corporate Allocations — The consolidated statements of operations include certain allocated corporate expenses of Ally and its subsidiaries attributable to the Company.  Ally and certain of Ally’s subsidiaries perform numerous functions on behalf of the Company including key functions such as cash and liquidity management, finance and accounting, accounts payable, legal, tax, facilities management, information technology support and systems and human resources, including employee benefit plans.  Expenses associated with these functions have been allocated to the Company based on direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated based on revenue, headcount or some other comparable measure.

 

Management believes such allocations are reasonable; however, these allocations may not reflect the expenses that would have been incurred if the Company had been an independent entity and had otherwise managed these functions.  Actual costs that may have been incurred had the Company been operated as a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure.  These allocated expenses are presented as selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Contingent liabilities and the related expense associated with pending or threatened litigation against ResCap or its subsidiaries have historically been managed at a consolidated level by ResCap.

 

8



 

Income Taxes — On November 2, 2009, ResCap became a division of Ally, a corporation for U.S. income tax purposes and subject to corporate U.S. Federal, state and local taxes.  ResCap is included in the consolidated Ally U.S. Federal and unitary and/or consolidated state income tax returns.  The Company provided for U.S. Federal and state taxes on a stand-alone basis, which is consistent with the applicable tax sharing agreement between ResCap and Ally and among the ResCap subsidiaries, including the Company.

 

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  The deferred tax asset balances as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were allocated based on actual changes in balance sheet amounts.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Deferred tax assets are recognized subject to management’s judgment that realization is more likely than not.

 

3.  TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from provisioning services for the residential mortgage portfolio serviced by the Parent Company.  The Parent Company utilizes a centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations.  As a result of the Company’s participation in the Parent Company’s central cash management program, all of the Company’s cash receipts are remitted to the Parent Company and all cash disbursements are funded by the Parent Company.  The net amount of any receivable from the Parent Company is reported in the consolidated balance sheets as Parent Company investment as the receivable has no stated repayment terms and has historically not been settled.  There are no interest charges associated with the receivable from the Parent Company.

Litigation

 

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.  We record a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, including expected insurance coverage.  For proceedings where a range of loss is determined, we record a best estimate of loss within the range.  When legal proceedings are material, we disclose the nature of the litigation and to the extent possible the estimate of loss or range of loss.  In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel and considering insurance coverage where applicable, the outcome of current legal proceedings both individually and in the aggregate will not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Lien

 

Certain of the Company’s assets are subject to a lien for the benefit of Ally’s senior secured credit facility and the Parent Company’s secured notes.

 

8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through June 26, 2013, the date at which these consolidated financial statements were issued, and determined there are no items to disclose, other than information disclosed in Note 1, Transactions after Year-End.

Exhibit 99.2

 

ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

 

On April 12, 2013, Altisource Solutions S.à r.l. (which may be referred to as Altisource S.à r.l., the Company, we, us or our), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“Altisource”), entered into an Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ocwen Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ocwen Mortgage Servicing, Inc. (collectively, “Ocwen”), to establish additional terms related to existing services arrangements between Altisource S.à r.l. and Ocwen in connection with Ocwen’s acquisition of certain mortgage servicing platform assets of Residential Capital, LLC (the “ResCap Business”). The Agreement together with the existing services agreements and their amendments are collectively referred to as the Master Services Agreements.

 

The Agreement provides that during the term of the existing services arrangements (which currently have terms expiring on August 31, 2025, subject to certain renewal rights) between Altisource S.à r.l. and Ocwen, (i) Altisource S.à r.l. will be the exclusive provider, except as prohibited by applicable law, to Ocwen and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates, of certain services related to the ResCap Business, (ii) Ocwen will not establish similar fee-based businesses that would directly or indirectly compete with Altisource S.à r.l. services as they relate to the ResCap Business and (iii) Ocwen and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates will market and promote the utilization of Altisource S.à r.l.’s services to their various third party relationships.  Additionally, the parties agreed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that the loans associated with the ResCap Business are boarded onto Altisource S.à r.l.’s mortgage servicing platform.  The cash consideration paid by Altisource S.à r.l. to Ocwen under the Agreement totals $128.8 million, $80.0 million of which was paid on April 12, 2013, with the remaining $48.8 million paid on May 10, 2013.  Ocwen will be responsible for all applicable conversion or other restructuring costs incurred by Altisource S.à r.l. to provide the services under the Agreement. Pursuant to the Master Services Agreements, Ocwen will continue to benefit from preferred pricing terms. For complete information on the terms and conditions related the relationship between Ocwen and Altisource, refer to the Master Services Agreements previously included as exhibits in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings (see the exhibits attached to the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on April 4, 2013, October 5, 2012, August 16, 2012 and August 13, 2009).

 

This transaction has been accounted for by Altisource S.à r.l. as a business combination in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations.

 

On March 29, 2013, Altisource S.à r.l., together with its subsidiaries, acquired certain fee-based businesses associated with Ocwen’s acquisition of Homeward Residential, Inc. (“Homeward”) (the “Homeward Acquisition”).  As part of the Homeward Acquisition, Ocwen agreed not to develop similar fee-based businesses that would directly or indirectly compete with services provided by Altisource S.à r.l. relative to the Homeward servicing portfolio.  Additionally, the terms of certain service agreements between Altisource S.à r.l. and Ocwen were amended to extend the term from 2020 to August 2025.  Altisource S.à r.l. paid $87.0 million, subject to a working capital and net income adjustment within 90 days, for the Homeward fee-based businesses.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations of Altisource that reflected the effect of the Homeward Acquisition were provided in Altisource’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on June 12, 2013.  The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations combined the consolidated results of operations of Altisource for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the combined results of operations of the Homeward fee-based businesses for the year ended September 30, 2012 and was presented as if the Homeward Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2012.  An unaudited  pro forma combined balance sheet was not included as the Homeward Acquisition was already reflected in Altisource’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on April 25, 2013.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 presented herein combines the consolidated balance sheets of Altisource, including the pro forma effect of the Homeward Acquisition, and Executive Trustee Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ResCap, (“ETS”) as of December 31, 2012 and is presented as if the Agreement had been executed on December 31, 2012.  The unaudited pro forma

 



 

combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 presented herein combines the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations of Altisource, including the pro forma effect of the Homeward fee-based businesses, and the results of operations of ETS for the year ended December 31, 2012 and is presented as if the Agreement had been executed on January 1, 2012.

 

The historical consolidated financial information of Altisource and ETS have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and statement of operations to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Agreement, (2) factually supportable and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.  The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and statement of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes thereto.  In addition, the unaudited pro forma balance sheet and combined statement of operations were based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the:

 

·                  Historical audited consolidated financial statements of Altisource as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the related notes that are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2013;

 

·                  Unaudited pro forma statement of operations of Altisource, including the Homeward fee-based businesses, for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the related notes that are included in its Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on June 12, 2013; and

 

·                  Historical audited consolidated financial statements of ETS as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the related notes that are included herein as Exhibit 99.1.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and statement of operations are provided for informational purposes only and are not necessarily, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of the results that would have been achieved had the Agreement been completed as of the dates indicated because of differences in business practices and cost structure between Altisource and ETS.  In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and statement of operations do not purport to project the future operating results of the combined companies nor do they reflect expected realization of any cost savings associated with the Agreement.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Form Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations

 

1.  Transaction

 

Management has prepared a preliminary allocation in which the entire Agreement consideration of $128.8 million was allocated to a customer relationship intangible asset with an associated estimated asset life of seven years based upon available information at the time of the Agreement.  This preliminary allocation and assessment of asset life will be revised as additional information about the fair value of the asset becomes available but will not exceed 12 months from the Agreement date.

 

2.  Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the historical consolidated statement of operations of ETS have been reclassified to conform to Altisource’s presentation.  The details of these reclassifications are as follows (dollar amounts below are in thousands):

 

A.    To reclassify $8,915, which is the sum of following, to cost of revenue:

 

·                  $7,663 of compensation and benefits expense;

·                  $985 of occupancy and equipment expense; and

·                  $267 of professional services expense.

 

3.  Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the Agreement as if it had been executed on December 31, 2012.  The pro forma adjustments to the Altisource unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet are based on the following adjustments to the historical consolidated balance sheets of Altisource and ETS (dollar amounts below are in thousands):

 

A.            To eliminate the carrying value of assets, liabilities and equity that were not acquired or assumed as part of the Agreement:

 

·                  $184 of prepaid expenses and other current assets;

·                  $373 of deferred tax assets, net;

·                  $2,152 of accounts payable and accrued expenses; and

·                  $1,595 of Parent Company investment.

 

B.            To record the customer relationship intangible asset acquired of $128,750 and the amount of additional long-term debt of $114,050 to equal the total pro forma debt of the Company of $397,027, with the remaining $14,700 of the Agreement consideration funded by cash on hand.

 

4.  Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations

 

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations gives effect to the Agreement as if it had been executed on January 1, 2012.  The pro forma adjustments to the Altisource unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations are based on the following adjustments to the historical consolidated statements of operations of Altisource and ETS (dollar amounts below are in thousands):

 

A.            To eliminate revenue of $1,873, cost of revenue of $339 and selling, general and administrative expenses of $157 related to reconveyance services.  Rights to perform these services were not granted to Altisource S.à r.l. as part of the Agreement.  The reduction to cost of revenue and selling, general and

 

5



 

administrative expenses was determined by applying reconveyance services revenue as a percentage of total ETS revenue to the ETS expense amounts.

 

B.            To record amortization expense of $16,737 related to the acquired customer relationship intangible asset.

 

C.            To record additional interest expense of $6,692 on the new acquisition-related debt.  Altisource’s incremental senior secured term loan (“SSTL”) bears interest at rates based upon, at our option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement dated May 7, 2013).  Eurodollar Rate loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for the applicable interest period and (y) 1.25% plus (ii) a 4.50% margin.  Base Rate loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Base Rate and (y) 2.25% plus (ii) a 3.50% margin.  The interest rate as of the borrowing date was 5.75%.  For purposes of this pro forma adjustment, an annual interest rate of 5.75% was utilized.  The contractual quarterly principal repayments on the incremental SSTL were considered in determining the pro forma interest expense.

 

Interest expense also includes amortization of deferred financing fees and original issue premium on the incremental SSTL using the effective interest rate method.

 

D.            To reduce the income tax provision by $12,702 to adjust the provision to reflect a combined international, federal and state effective tax rate of 7.01%.  We used the effective tax rate rather than our statutory tax rate of 28.8% because of a recurring Luxembourg rate benefit we receive.
