Previously Securitized Loans

Between 1997 and 1999, the Company completed six securitization transactions involving approximately $760 million in 125% of fixed rate, junior-lien underlying mortgages.  The Company retained a financial interest in each of the securitizations until 2004.  Principal amounts owed to investors were evidenced by securities (“Notes”).  During 2003 and 2004, the Company exercised its early redemption options on each of those securitizations.  Once the Notes were redeemed, the Company became the beneficial owner of the mortgage loans and recorded the loans as assets of the Company within the loan portfolio.

As the Company redeemed the outstanding Notes, no gain or loss was recognized in the Company’s financial statements and the remaining mortgage loans were recorded in the Company’s loan portfolio as “previously securitized loans,” at the lower of carrying value or fair value.  Because the carrying value of the mortgage loans incorporated assumptions for expected prepayment and default rates, the carrying value of the loans was generally less than the actual outstanding contractual balance of the loans.  As of September 30, 2013, there is no carrying value remaining on these loans, while the actual contractual balances of these loans were $6.5 million.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $0.6 million and $2.0 million and $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of interest income from its previously securitized loans.
