Report of Independent Auditors
 
To the Board of Directors of Barclays Bank PLC:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying combined consolidated balance sheets and the related combined consolidated statements of operations, changes in parent company equity, and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HomEq Servicing and its subsidiaries (the “Business”), a business within Barclays Bank PLC (“BBPLC”), at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Business’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
As discussed in Notes 1(b) and 11, the combined consolidated financial statements have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of BBPLC and reflect assumptions, allocations and significant related party transactions. Accordingly, the financial statements do not necessarily reflect the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Business had it been a stand-alone company.
 
As discussed in Note 1(g), effective January 1, 2008, the Business elected to change its method of accounting for mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) under the option provided by ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing.

Summary of significant accounting policies
   
 
a.
Nature of business
   
HomEq Servicing (the “Business”) is the unincorporated mortgage servicing business of Barclays Bank PLC (“BBPLC” or “Parent”) and Barclays Capital Real Estate Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of BBPLC, “BCREI”). The Business is a full service loan servicing business, servicing primarily residential subprime mortgage loans for which it purchases the underlying mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) from related and unrelated third parties, and acts as a subservicer for certain clients that own the underlying MSRs. The Business does not originate or purchase whole loans or real estate. The Business was acquired by BBPLC and BCREI in November 2006 from Wachovia Corporation. The servicing platform was acquired by BCREI while the related servicing assets are held by BBPLC. The servicing pl atform of the Business is headquartered in North Highlands, CA and also maintains other servicing sites in Raleigh, NC; Boone, NC; and Roseville, CA.
     
 
b.
Basis of presentation
   
The combined consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a carve-out basis from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of BBPLC, principally from the records representing the HomEq Servicing business, and reflect the historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Business, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Upon acquisition of the Business in November 2006, BBPLC and BCREI allocated to the Business the purchase consideration resulting in a new basis in accounting for the acquired assets and liabilities. The Business is comprised of a combination of operations within wholly owned subsidiaries of BBPLC.
     
   
The combined consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the Business’ future performance and do not necessarily reflect what its combined consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had the Business operated as an independent company during the periods presented.
     
   
To the extent that an asset, liability, revenue or expense is directly associated with the Business, it is reflected in the accompanying combined consolidated financial statements. Additionally, BBPLC or its affiliated entities currently provide certain corporate functions or services to the Business and costs associated with these functions have been allocated to the Business. These functions or services include providing working capital, as well as certain administrative services such as legal, corporate audit, finance, tax advisory, procurement, information technology, payroll and human resources including various corporate-wide employee benefit programs.
     
   
The costs of such services have been allocated to the Business from the historical books and records of BBPLC or its affiliated entities and based on the most relevant allocation method to the service provided, primarily based on specific identification or proportionate level of effort in support of the Business’ operations. The method used to allocate these costs to the Business was based on allocation methodologies which management of the Business and BBPLC believes are reasonable, consistent and a reflection of the utilization of services provided to the Business. However, they may not be indicative of the actual expense that would have been incurred had the Business been operating as a stand-alone company for the periods presented. Actual costs would depend on a number of factors, including the Business’ chosen organizatio nal structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by the Business’ employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology systems and infrastructure.

The charges for these functions and services are included primarily in compensation and benefits, professional services and other operating expenses in the combined consolidated statements of operations.
     
   
All significant intracompany transactions and accounts within the Business have been eliminated. All significant intercompany transactions between the Business and BBPLC have been included in these combined consolidated financial statements. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected as net equity transactions with parent in the combined consolidated statements of cash flows as a financing activity and in the combined consolidated balance sheets as parent company equity in lieu of stockholder’s equity. In the combined consolidated statement of changes in parent company equity, the net equity transactions with parent is the net of a variety of intercompany transactions including collection of receivables, payment of payables, charges of allocated corporate costs from BBPLC, and payments of taxes by BBPLC on the Business’s behalf, as well as the effect (net of tax) of adopting the fair value option for certain mortgage servicing rights.
     
   
See Note 11, Related party transactions, for further description of the transactions between the Business and BBPLC.
     
 
c.
Principals of consolidation
   
The combined consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Business and its wholly-owned subsidiaries consolidated under ASC 810 – Consolidation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions within the Business have been eliminated in consolidation.
     
 
d.
Use of estimates
   
These combined consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year and periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All of the allocations and estimates in the combined consolidated financial statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
     
 
e.
Cash
   
Cash consists of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months.
     
 
f.
Restricted cash
   
Restricted cash relates to amounts pledged as collateral under a repurchase agreement (secured borrowings). Refer to Note 7, Related party and secured borrowings, for further details.

g.
Mortgage servicing rights
   
A MSR is the right to receive a portion of the interest coupon and fees collected from the mortgagor for performing specified mortgage servicing activities, which consist of collecting loan payments, remitting principal and interest payments to investors, managing escrow funds for the payment of mortgage-related expenses such as taxes and insurance and otherwise administering the Business’s mortgage loan servicing portfolio. MSRs are created through either the direct purchase of servicing from BBPLC or a third party. MSRs have no contractual maturity date as they stay outstanding until the last mortgage loan supporting the MSR is repaid, and as such are classified as noncurrent within the combined consolidated balance sheets. The Business services residential mortgage loans, and has elected fair value measurement and the amortizatio n method for subsequently measuring different classes of these servicing rights.
     
   
Under the Transfers and Servicing topic of the Codification, servicing rights resulting from the sale or securitization of loans (asset transfers) are initially measured at fair value at the date of transfer. The Business recognizes the rights to service mortgage loans for others, or MSRs, as assets when MSRs are purchased or when the MSRs result from an asset transfer by BBPLC. The fair value of servicing rights is determined at the date of transfer using the present value of estimated future net servicing income, using assumptions that market participants use in their estimates of values.
     
   
Custodial accounts, which hold funds representing collections of principal and interest the Business receives from borrowers, are escrowed with an unaffiliated bank and excluded from the combined consolidated balance sheets. Custodial accounts amounted to approximately $108,688, $105,477 and $129,924 at June 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
     
   
To determine the fair value of MSRs, a valuation model is used that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The Business uses assumptions in the valuation model that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, default rates, cost to service (including delinquency and foreclosure costs), contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income and late fees.
     
   
MSRs measured at fair value
   
The Business has elected to initially measure and carry MSRs related to assets owned and subsequently sold by BBPLC where BBPLC retained some form of continuing involvement with the transferred assets (“BBPLC Related MSRs”) using the fair value method. Under the fair value method, BBPLC Related MSRs are carried in the combined consolidated balance sheets at fair value and the changes in fair value, primarily due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions and to the collection/realization of expected cash flows, are reported in the combined consolidated statement of operations in the period in which the change occurs.
     
   
The election to measure BBPLC Related MSRs at fair value occurred as of January 1, 2008 under the option provided by ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. An adjustment of $16,598 (net of tax of $13,603) was made to increase opening Parent company equity in 2008 to record the BBPLC Related MSRs at fair value as of January 1, 2008. Prior to 2008, the BBPLC Related MSRs were accounted similarly to the Amortized MSRs described below.

Amortized MSRs
   
Amortized MSRs, which includes generally all of the MSRs existing at the date of acquisition by BBPLC in November 2006 as well as any MSRs related to assets for which BBPLC had no continuing involvement (“Non-BBPLC Related MSRs”), are carried at the lower of cost or market value. These MSRs are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income. The amortization of Non-BBPLC Related MSRs is analyzed monthly and is adjusted to reflect changes in prepayment speeds, as well as other factors. Amortized MSRs are periodically evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those assets. If, by individual stratum, the carrying amount of these MSRs exceeds fair value, a valuation reserve is established. The valuation reserve is adjusted as the fair value changes. For purposes of impairment evaluatio n and measurement, the Business stratifies servicing assets based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans such as loan type (ALT A or Subprime), lien position and rate type (adjustable or fixed).
     
   
The Business assesses the appropriateness of recording a permanent impairment on a quarterly basis. Where the assessment determines that the potential impairment exceeds a certain threshold for two consecutive months, a permanent impairment will be recorded.
     
 
h.
Revenue recognition
   
The Business earns fees for servicing residential mortgage loans for which it owns the underlying MSRs and performs subservicing for certain clients that own the underlying MSRs. The Business collects servicing fees, generally as a percent of unpaid principal balance, from the borrowers’ payments. Servicing fees include subservicing fees collected from borrowers’ payments on loans for which the Business does not own the MSR. Also included in servicing fee income are late fees, prepayment penalties and other ancillary fees in servicing income. Servicing fees are recognized when the fees are earned under the accrual method over the period the services are provided. Late charges and other miscellaneous fees collected from mortgagors are also recorded as income when collected.
     
 
i.
Advances
   
During any period in which the borrower does not make payments, most of the servicing agreements require that the Business advance funds to meet contractual principal and interest remittance requirements for the investors, pay property taxes and insurance premiums and process foreclosures. However, the Business is generally only obligated to advance funds to the extent that it is believed the advances are recoverable from expected proceeds from the loan. The Business also advances funds to maintain, repair and market foreclosed real estate properties on behalf of investors. These advances are made pursuant to the terms of each servicing contract and are contractually due within 30 days or upon liquidation of the underlying property, which is generally within a year. As such, they are classified as current within the combined consolidated balance sheet. Each servicing contract is associated with specific loans, identified as a pool.

When the Business makes an advance on a loan under each servicing contract, they are entitled to recover that advance either from the borrower, for reinstated and performing loans, or from investors for foreclosed loans. Most of the servicing contracts provide that the advances made under the respective agreement have priority over all other cash payments from the proceeds of the loan, and in the majority of cases, the proceeds of the pool of loans, which are the subject of that servicing contract. As a result, the Business is entitled to repayment from loan proceeds before any future interest or principal is paid on the bonds, and in the majority of cases, advances in excess of loan proceeds may be recovered from pool level proceeds.
     
   
The Business records a charge to earnings to the extent that it believes advances are uncollectible under the provisions of each servicing contract taking into consideration historical loss and delinquency experience, length of delinquency and the amount of the advance. The Business assesses collectability using proprietary cash flow projection models which incorporate a number of different factors, depending on the characteristics of the mortgage loan or pool, including, for example, time to a foreclosure sale, estimated costs of foreclosure action, future property tax payments and the value of the underlying property net of carrying costs, commissions and closing costs.
     
 
j.
Fair value measurements
   
The Business accounts for BBPLC Related MSRs and financial instruments at fair value and considers fair value in the measurement of Non-BBPLC Related MSRs. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.
     
   
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs.
     
   
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

 
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
     
 
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and
     
 
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

   
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Business has an established process for determining fair values. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon external and internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities and credit curves. In addition to market information, models also incorporate transaction details, such as maturity. Where available, the Business utilizes quoted market prices or observable inputs rather than unobservable inputs to determine fair value. Should observable inputs not be available, the internal model will use unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of market participants assumptions for similar asset s. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, constraints on liquidity and unobservable parameters that are applied consistently over time.
     
 
k.
Premises and equipment
   
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Equipment, furniture and fixtures are depreciated over periods of up to five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over periods of up to ten years. Depreciation and amortization is recognized using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets and is included in occupancy and equipment in the combined consolidated statements of operations.
     
 
l.
Secured borrowings
   
Secured borrowings are collateralized by specific advances. As specified advances are repaid, the collateral is replaced by cash deposits held in a segregated trust account. Cash collateral is presented as restricted cash in the combined consolidated balance sheets and is periodically replaced by new advances as collateral. Under the terms of these borrowing arrangements, the Business is subject to various qualitative covenants. These covenants include:

 
Maintaining organizational documents
     
 
Complying with appropriate laws
     
 
Payment of taxes
     
 
Bookkeeping requirements

   
The Business believes it is currently in compliance with these covenants. Refer to Note 7, Related party and secured borrowings, for further details regarding secured borrowings.
     
 
m.
Income taxes
   
Income taxes are calculated on a separate return basis, as if the Business had been a separate legal entity.
     
   
Tax provisions are computed in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of the Business’ assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances, if required, are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that more likely than not will be realized. 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 changes in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Net operating loss carry forwards have been determined in these combined consolidated financial statements as if the Business had been a group of legal entities separated from BBPLC.
     
   
The Business follows guidance under ASC 740 which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of unrecognized tax benefits to maintain for uncertain tax positions. Under ASC 740, the Business determines whether it is more likely than not that an income tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Sustainable income tax positions are then measured to determine the amount of benefit to be reflected in the combined consolidated financial statements. Each sustainable position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement.
     
 
n.
Parent company equity
   
The parent company equity in the Business is presented in lieu of stockholder’s equity. The parent company equity included in the combined consolidated balance sheets reflects BBPLC’s investment in the Business, accumulated earnings and losses of the Business, the adoption of the fair value election on the BBPLC Related MSRs and the payment of dividends. The net effect of intercompany transactions has been reflected as change in parent company investment in the combined consolidated statements of cash flows and included in parent company investment in the combined consolidated balance sheets more fully described in Note 11, Related party transactions.
     
 
o.
Insurance commissions
   
The Business earns broker commissions for placing hazard insurance policies on residential mortgage loans at rates which are negotiated with the insurance vendor. Commissions and related expense are recorded when earned or incurred.
     
 
p.
Interest income and interest expense
   
Interest income is recognized from cash balances with an unaffiliated bank at their stated rate of interest. The business also earns interest income on any principal and interest it has collected on behalf of certain securitizations it services. This interest income is recognized as it is collected and included in interest income in the combined consolidated statement of operations.
     
   
Interest expense is recognized from payables to affiliates and third parties at their stated rate of interest.
     
 
q.
Share based compensation
   
The Business applies ASC 710, Compensation – General, which focuses primarily on accounting for a transaction in which an entity obtains employee services in exchange for share-based payments. Under ASC 710, the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is generally measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Share-based awards that do not require future service (i.e. vested awards) are expensed immediately. Share-based employee awards that require future service are amortized over the relevant service period. Expenses for share-based compensation are included in compensation and benefits in the combined consolidated statements of operations.

r.
Expenses
   
During the 6-months ended June 30, 2010, the Business identified certain expenses in its previously reported financial statements that were classified in Other income (expenses) for which it would have been more consistent with our overall presentation to include in Operating expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impact of this presentation had no impact on Net income and if presented consistently with other expenses would have increased Other operating expenses and decreased Other nonoperating expenses by $2,976, $3,296, $2,710 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 respectively and $1,488 for the 6-month period ended June 30, 2009.
     
 
s.
Recently issued accounting standards
   
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 168, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as the only source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, with the exception of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards not yet included in the Codification. The Business adopted the FASB ASC as required for the period ended December 31, 2009 with no impact on the combined consolidated financial statements.
     
   
Fair value measurements and disclosures·improving disclosures about fair value measurements
   
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and disclosures – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, (“ASU No 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures about activity that occurred during the year related to assets classified within Level 3 fair value measurements as well as transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. In addition, it provides clarification to existing guidance, specifically requiring disaggregation of asset classes within the ASC 820 existing disclosures and requiring expanded information on inputs and valuation techniques. The new requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Business adop ted this guidance in first quarter 2010 with prospective application, except for the new requirement related to the Level 3 rollforward. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on amounts reported in the Business’ combined consolidated financial statements.
     
   
Subsequent Events (ASC 855)
   
In May 2009, the FASB issued amended accounting principles related to subsequent events, which codify the guidance regarding the disclosure of events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date. These amended principles do not change the definition of a subsequent event (i.e., an event or transaction that occurs after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued) but require disclosure of the date through which subsequent events were evaluated when determining whether adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements is required. These amended principles were effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Business’ combined consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-09 to amend ASC 855 to address certain implementation issues, including (1) eliminating the requirement for SEC filers to disclose the date through which it has evaluated subsequent events, (2) clarifying the period through which conduit bond obligors must evaluate subsequent events, and (3) refining the scope of the disclosure requirements for reissued financial statements. Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Business’ combined consolidated financial statements.
     
   
Determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly (ASC 820)
   
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have decreased significantly. Specifically, this guidance lists factors which should be evaluated to determine whether a transaction is orderly, clarifies that adjustments to transactions or quoted prices may be necessary when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have decreased significantly, and provides guidance for determining the concurrent weighting of the transaction price relative to fair value indications from other valuation techniques when estimating fair value. This guidance is effective for periods ending after June 5, 2009. The Business adopted these amended accounting principles in 2009. Because the Business’ current fair value methodology is consistent with this new gu idance, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Business’ combined consolidated financial statements
     
   
Employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets (ASC 715)
   
In December 2008, the FASB issued guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. This guidance also requires a nonpublic entity to disclose net periodic benefit cost for each annual period for which a statement of income is presented. This guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Business adopted the guidance in 2009 and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Business’ combined consolidated financial statements.
     
   
Accounting for the transfers of financial assets and consolidation of variable interest entities
   
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, (“SFAS No. 166”) and SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), (“SFAS No. 167”), which change the accounting for securitizations and variable interest entities (“VIEs”). SFAS No. 166 eliminates the concept of a qualified special purpose entity (“QSPE”), change the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions and continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 167 changes the determination of when a VIE should be consolidated. Under SFAS No. 167, the determination of whether to consolidate a VIE is based on the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance together with either the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE, as well as the VIE’s purpose and design. SFAS No. 166 and 167, which have not yet been incorporated into the Codification, are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15. 2009. This adoption did not have a material effect on the Business’ combined consolidated financial statements as the Business did not have an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to any of the trusts for which it is involved.

Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
 
The table below includes a rollforward of the combined consolidated balance sheet amounts for the years ended December 31, 2009, December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the six months ended June 30, 2010 (including the change in fair value), for assets classified by the Business within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The determination to classify these amounts to Level 3 was based upon the significance of the unobservable parameters to the overall fair value measurement. However, Level 3 typically includes, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 components, observable components; accordingly, the gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology.

Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value.
   
 
Mortgage servicing rights
 
MSRs do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the Business determines the fair value of MSRs using a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service (including delinquency and foreclosure costs), escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income and late fees. Any fair value discount related to the timing of collection of cash flows (including advances) is included in the calculation of the fair value of MSRs. Non-BBPLC Related MSRs are carried at lower of cost or market value (and prior to 2008, BBPLC Related MSRs as well), and therefore can be subject to fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis. Fair value measurements of MSRs use significant unobservable inputs and, accordingly, the Business classifies BBPLC Related MSRs as Level 3.
   
 
Advances
 
Advances that are made on loans the Business services for others including those required under the terms of the underlying MSR are valued at their carrying amounts because they are generally realized within a short period of time and do not bear interest.

Receivables
 
The carrying value of receivables generally approximates fair value because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and realization.
   
 
Servicer Liabilities
 
The carrying value of servicer liabilities approximates fair value due to the short period of time the funds are held until they are deposited in collection accounts or refunded to borrowers.
   
 
Related Party and Secured Borrowings
 
The carrying value of related party and secured borrowings approximates fair value due to the short period to maturity.

Valuation Reserve for Impairment. If, by individual stratum, the carrying amount of Non-BBPLC Related MSRs (and the BBPLC Related MSRs prior to January 1 2008) exceeds fair value, a valuation reserve is established. The Business has established a valuation reserve for impairment for certain strata. The valuation reserve was $1,504, $2,979 and $1,798 as of June 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Changes in the valuation reserve for impairment are reflected in impairment of servicing rights in the combined consolidated statements of operations.

On December 18, 2009, the Business sold the Advances indirectly into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Business that issued both a residual interest and a rated note back to the Business. The Business then entered into a repurchase agreement with various external counterparties on the rated note, whereby under the agreement, the Business has indirectly pledged the advances as collateral to the counterparty. As the advances are repaid, the collateral is replaced by cash deposits held in a segregated trust account. Cash collateral is presented as restricted cash in the combined consolidated balance sheets and is periodically replaced by new advances as collateral. Advances of $1,065,202 and $995,464 were pledged as collat eral as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
   
 
BBPLC funding is related to the acquisition of the Business and the necessary cash to run the day to day operations. The Business manages cash needs on a daily basis and receives overnight funding from BBPLC, for which it is charged interest based on an internal BBPLC funding rate that varies based on agreed upon terms. The interest rate charged to the business on the secured borrowings was 0.40% and 0.50% at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Servicer liabilities
   
 
Servicer liabilities represent amounts the Business has collected, primarily from residential borrowers, whose loans the Business services that will be deposited in custodial accounts and paid directly to an investment trust, used to reimburse advances or refunded to borrowers. Servicer liabilities totaled $3,776, $10,743 and $11,870 as of June 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Income taxes
   
 
During the periods presented, the Business did not file separate tax returns, as the results from operations were included in the tax returns of affiliated entities of BBPLC. For purposes of these statements the Business has respected the historic legal entity structure and the tax classification of the separate components of the Business. The income tax provision included in these combined consolidated financial statements was calculated using the separate return basis, as if the Business was a separate taxpayer. For purposes of these combined consolidated financial statements, the Business did not maintain taxes payable to/from its Parent and is deemed to settle the annual current tax balances immediately with the legal tax paying entities in the respective jurisdictions. These settlements are reflected as changes in Parent company equi ty.
   
 
In order to compute the provision for income taxes and the related current and deferred tax assets and liabilities on a separate return basis, the Business included items specifically attributable to the combined consolidated financial statements, as well as an allocation of items not specifically identifiable to the combined consolidated financial statements. Allocations were based on methods determined to be reasonable by the Business and BBPLC.

The tax-effected temporary differences, which comprise deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:

Gross deferred tax liability
          (1,023 )
Net deferred tax assets
  $ 84,650     $ 77,921  
 
 
The Business had net operating losses (“NOLs”) of approximately $5,755 and $7,342 in states that require separate company filings, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The NOLs will expire beginning in 2014 through 2029. The Business has determined that it is more likely than not that certain state NOLs will expire unutilized and has established a valuation allowance at December 31, 2009 and 2008 in the amount of $223 and $280, respectively.
   
 
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Business considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, the Business believes it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowance.
   
 
The Business adopted ASC 740 -10 (formerly FIN 48) effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of ASC 740-10 did not require the Business to recognize a liability for unrecognized tax benefits as taxes payable to/from the Parent are deemed to be settled immediately as a change in Parent company equity.

Lapses in statutes of limitation
                 
Balance at end of year
  $ 34,301     $ 33,811     $ 18,433  
 
 
The gross amount of the unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 would not affect the Business’ effective tax rate if recognized. The Business recorded interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits of $1,730, $967 and $0 as a component of provision for income taxes on the combined consolidated statements of operations during 2009, 2008 and 2007 respectively. The balance of accrued interest was $2,697 on December 31, 2009 and $967 on December 31, 2008. The balance of the unrecognized tax benefits has been settled with the Parent on an annual basis.
   
 
The Business files U.S. and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The 2007 through 2009 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal and certain state tax authorities. The Business does not expect any significant change in the balance of uncertain tax positions over the next 12 months.
   
11.
Related party transactions
   
 
These combined consolidated financial statements include transactions with affiliated companies. The Business entered into transactions with BBPLC and its subsidiaries for corporate services provided by BBPLC for the combined consolidated financial statement periods presented.
   
 
The combined consolidated statements of operations line items compensation and benefits, professional services and other operating expenses include allocated corporate costs from BBPLC. These costs are generally allocated based on specific identification or proportionate level of effort in support of the Business’ operations. Corporate expenses allocated include administrative services such as legal, corporate audit, finance, tax advisory, procurement, information technology, payroll and human resources. The allocated corporate expenses also include workers compensation, pension and share-based payments costs associated with HomEq employees that participate in plans operated by BBPLC. Total expense allocations amounted to $8,707, $10,024 and $7,597 on a pre-tax basis for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively , and $9,422 and $4,397 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. Management considers such allocations have been made on a reasonable basis, but may not necessarily be indicative of the costs had the Business operated as a separate entity during the periods presented.

These combined consolidated financial statements reflect the defined benefit pension plans on a multi-employer basis in accordance with ASC 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits. The Business is allocated a portion of the expenses from BBPLC relating to these benefits based on actuarial calculations associated with the individual Business employees that participate in these employee benefit plans.

The Business makes recommendations on the bonus awards for its employees, which are approved annually by the Remuneration Committee of BBPLC. Depending upon the threshold limit, a portion of such bonus award for the employees will be awarded in BBPLC stock. The main current share-related schemes from which the Business’ employees benefit are as follows:
   
 
Executive Share Award Scheme (“ESAS”)
 
For certain employees of the Business, an element of their annual bonus is in the form of a deferred award of a provisional allocation of BBPLC shares under ESAS. The total value of the bonus made to the employee, of which ESAS is an element is dependent upon the business unit, BBPLC and individual employee performance. The ESAS element must be held for at least three years and is subject to potential forfeit if the individual resigns and commences work with a competitor business. Additional bonus shares are subsequently awarded to recipients of the provisional allocation and vest upon achieving continued service for three and five years from the date of award. Shares under this scheme qualify for dividends.
   
 
Incentive Share Plan (“ISP”)
 
Incentive Shares are granted to participants in the form of a provisional allocation of BBPLC shares, and vest upon achieving continued service after either two or three years. Participants do not pay to receive an award or to receive a release of shares. Incentive shares qualify for dividends.
   
 
Share Value Plan (“SVP”)
 
The Share Value Plan shares are granted to participants in the form of a provisional allocation of BBPLC shares, and vest upon achieving continued service after one, two, or three years. Participants do not pay to receive an award or to receive a release of shares. Incentive shares qualify for dividends. The SVP plan was implemented in 2010.
   
 
An expense of $49, $969, and $1,021 for the years ending December 31 2009, 2008 and 2007 respectively, and $78 and $24 for the six months ending June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively, for the share based payments was included in compensation and benefits in the combined consolidated statements of operations. The charge arises from equity settled share based payments.
   
 
The weighted average fair value of shares granted during the year at the measurement date is $1.59, $6.84 and $12.36 for the ESAS plan for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. ESAS is a nil cost award on which performance conditions are substantially fulfilled at the grant date. Consequently, the fair values of these awards are based on market value at that date. For the ISP plan, the weighted average fair value of the shares granted during the year at the measurement date is $3.68. No shares were granted during 2007 and 2008 related to the ISP plan. The fair value is measured by the daily official list price on the grant date of the award.
   
 
The expected dividends for all schemes are assumed to grow in line with the expected increases in share prices for the industry sector until exercise.
   
 
For the purposes of determining the expected life and number of shares to vest, historical exercise patterns have been used, together with an assumption that a certain percentage of shares will lapse due to leavers.

The Business leases certain of its premises and equipment under noncancelable operating leases with terms expiring between December 2010 and March 2018 exclusive of renewal option periods. Lease expense was $3,697, $2,831 and $3,982 for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $1,199 and $1,749 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

BBPLC and its parent Barclays PLC (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Barclays”) are engaged in various litigation proceedings both in the United Kingdom and a number of overseas jurisdictions, including the United States, involving claims by and against it which arise in the ordinary course of business. Barclays does not expect the ultimate resolution of any of the proceedings to which Barclays is party to have a significant adverse effect on the financial position of the Barclays group, and Barclays has not disclosed the contingent liabilities associated with these claims either because they cannot reasonably be estimated or because such disclosure could be prejudicial to the conduct of the claims.

The Business is named as a defendant in lawsuits brought in various federal and state courts challenging certain of the Business’s mortgage servicing practices, including Ohio ex rel. Cordray v. Barclays Capital Real Estate Inc. d/b/a HomEq Servicing, Case No. 09-10136, in the Court of Common Pleas in Montgomery County, Ohio. The complaint, brought by the Ohio Attorney General, alleges that the Business violated the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act, Ohio Revised Code 1345.01 et seq. (CSPA) in connection with its loan servicing practices. On February 10, 2010, the Business filed a motion to dismiss the action which the plaintiff opposed on March 24, 2010. On April 12, 2010, the Business filed its reply brief in support of its motion, which is currently pending before the court. The Business believes that this case is without merit a nd plans to vigorously defend against it. It is not possible to estimate the Business’ possible loss in relation to these matters, nor the effect they might have upon operating results in any particular financial period.
   
 
The Business is also involved in other litigation proceedings arising in connection with the conduct of its business. The Business does not expect the ultimate resolution of any of such proceedings to have a significant adverse effect on the financial condition results of operations or cash flows of the Business.
   
14.
Subsequent events
   
 
The Business evaluated the effects of subsequent events that have occurred subsequent to period end June 30, 2010, and through June 17, 2010, which is the date the combined consolidated financial statements were issued. BBPLC announced on May 28, 2010, that it entered into an agreement to sell the assets related to the Business to Ocwen Financial Corp. The price is composed of approximately $1,300,000 in cash at closing. The assets and liabilities that are ultimately sold by BBPLC and BCREI to Ocwen Financial Corp. may differ from the assets and liabilities reflected in these combined consolidated financial statements. The transaction is expected to close within the third quarter of 2010. In May 2010, BBPLC reclassified the net assets of the Business as held for sale and as a result, recognized an estimated charge of $28,000 to reduce the carrying value of its assets.

Subsequent events (unaudited)
   
 
The Business evaluated the effects of subsequent events that have occurred subsequent to period end June 30, 2010, through November 18, 2010, which is the date the combined consolidated financial statements were issued. Subsequent to June 30, 2010, in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Ocwen Financial Corporation’s purchase price for the Business was reduced as a result of change in servicing volumes. BBPLC will recognize an additional charge of approximately $8,700 to reduce the carrying value of its assets related to the pending sale.
 
  On September 1, 2010, the sale of the Business was completed and management of the Business was transferred to Ocwen Financial Corporation.
   
 
In connection with the recent publicly-reported industry-wide inquiries by state officials into mortgage servicing practices, specifically as they relate to foreclosures, HomEq Servicing has received several such inquiries. The inquiries received were from several state Attorneys General and state regulatory agencies.   These inquiries request information about current and historic foreclosure practices, including questions regarding practices in gathering information used to prepare foreclosure documents.   These inquiries are being assessed and responded to. Current management of the Business is not in a position to determine what, if any, impact these inquiries will have on the Business.

OCWEN FINANCIAL CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
On September 1, 2010, Ocwen Financial Corporation (Ocwen), through its subsidiary Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC (OLS), completed its acquisition (the HomEq Acquisition) of the U.S. non-prime mortgage servicing business within Barclays Bank PLC (Barclays) known as HomEq Servicing. This transaction did not result in the transfer of ownership of any legal entities.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the HomEq Acquisition as if it had occurred on June 30, 2010 and combines the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Ocwen and the unaudited combined consolidated balance sheet of HomEq Servicing. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations combine the consolidated results of operations of Ocwen and combined consolidated results of operations of HomEq Servicing for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2010 and are presented as if the HomEq Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009.
 
The historical consolidated financial information of Ocwen and combined consolidated information of HomEq Servicing have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the HomEq Acquisition, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes thereto. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information was based on and should be read in conjunction with the:
 
 
Historical audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the related notes of Ocwen included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K; and
     
 
Historical unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes of Ocwen included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for 2010; and
     
 
Historical audited combined consolidated balance sheets of HomEq Servicing at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the combined consolidated statements of operations, statements of changes in parent company equity and statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 that are included as Exhibit 99.1; and
     
 
Historical unaudited combined consolidated balance sheet of HomEq Servicing at June 30, 2010, the combined consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 and the combined consolidated statement of changes in parent company equity for the six months ended June 30, 2010 that are included as Exhibit 99.1.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements 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 HomEq Acquisition been completed as of the dates indicated because of differences in servicing practices and cost structure between Ocwen and HomEq. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the Ocwen combined nor does it reflect expected realization of any cost savings associated with the HomEq Acquisition.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. We believe that the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as reflected in the pro-forma financial statements, are based on reasonable assumptions. However, all components of the purchase price allocation are considered preliminary. Ocwen’s judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact the results of operations. We anticipate finalizing the purchase price allocations by December 31, 2010. Potential changes in advances, premises and equipment and goodwill could be significant.

OCWEN FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands)
 
The pro forma adjustments are based upon the following assumptions with regard to the purchase of HomEq Servicing
 
1.
Acquisition Transaction
 
On September 1, 2010, Ocwen completed the HomEq Acquisition. The sellers were Barclays Bank PLC, a corporation organized under the laws of England and Wales (Barclays), and Barclays Capital Real Estate Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (BCRE). The HomeEq Acquisition was completed in accordance with the provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 28, 2010 among Barclays, BCRE, OLS and Ocwen. This transaction did not result in the transfer of ownership of any legal entities.
 
Ocwen acquired HomEq Servicing in order to grow its Servicing segment. With the close of the HomEq Acquisition, Ocwen boarded 134,000 residential mortgage loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $22,400,000 onto its servicing platform.
 
OLS paid an initial aggregate purchase price of $1,196,747 in cash upon completion of the HomEq Acquisition. Of this amount, $852,617 was funded by notes issued by a new $1,011,000 revolving structured servicing advance financing facility, $150,000 was paid from funds held in escrow in accordance with the terms of the new $350,000 senior secured term loan facility and $194,130 consisted of cash and funds borrowed pursuant to the senior secured term loan facility. The initial purchase price was reduced by $29,625 pursuant to an initial true-up of advances as reflected in the table in Note 4 below and is subject to further true-up under adjustment mechanisms and repurchase rights in limited circumstances.
 
The borrowings under the senior secured term loan facility bear interest based on 1-Month LIBOR plus 700 basis points with a LIBOR floor of 2%. This loan was issued with an original issue discount of $7,000 that we are amortizing over the life of the loan. We are required to prepay the principal amount in consecutive quarterly installments of $8,750 per quarter commencing September 30, 2010, with the balance becoming due on July 29, 2015. Four of the notes issued under the structured servicing advance financing facility bear interest at the lenders’ commercial paper rate plus a margin of 350 to 625 basis points depending on the note. One note bears interest based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a margin of 750 basis points. The commercial paper rate approximates 1-Month LIBOR over time.
 
The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.
 
The acquisition of HomEq Servicing is treated as an asset acquisition for U.S. tax purposes. We expect the opening tax basis for the acquired assets and liabilities to be the fair value, which is shown in the table in Note 4 below.
 
2.
Accounting Policies
 
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements reflect adjustments to conform the results of HomEq Servicing to the accounting policies of Ocwen with regard to the timing of servicing revenue recognition and the subsequent measurement of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs).
 
HomEq Servicing accounted for a certain class of its MSRs using the fair value measurement method with changes in fair value reported in the statement of operations. The remaining MSRs were accounted for using the amortization method with amortization reported in the statement of operations in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income. Ocwen accounts for all classes of its MSRs using the amortization method.
 
HomEq Servicing recognized servicing fees when the fees were earned, which it generally considered to be the period during which the services were provided. Ocwen recognizes servicing fees when the fees are earned, which it generally considers to be when the borrowers’ payments are collected.
 
3.
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts in the historical statements of operations of HomEq Servicing have been reclassified to conform to Ocwen’s presentation. Insurance commissions revenue has been reclassified to Servicing and subservicing fees. In addition, Impairment of servicing rights has been reclassified to Servicing and origination expenses.

4.
Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price
 
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimate of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the HomEq Acquisition as if it had occurred on June 30, 2010:
 
       
Mortgage servicing rights
  $ 87,706  
Advances
    1,057,166  
Receivables
    1,423  
Premises and equipment, net
    7,691  
Checks held for escheat
    (4,666 )
Other liabilities
    (4,657 )
Total identifiable net assets
    1,144,663  
Goodwill
    22,459  
Total consideration
  $ 1,167,122  
 
MSRs. We estimated the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights acquired by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows utilizing assumptions that we believe are used by market participants, consistent with Ocwen’s  methodology for estimating the fair value of MSRs.
 
Premises and equipment. The valuation of premises and equipment was based on the in-use valuation premise, where the highest and best use of the assets would provide maximum value to market participants principally through their use with other assets as a group. This valuation presumes the continued operation of the HomEq platform as installed or otherwise configured for use.
 
Advances. Advances are non-interest bearing receivables that are expected to have a short average collection period and were, therefore, valued at their face amount, consistent with Ocwen’s methodology for estimating the fair value of servicing advances.
 
Other assets and liabilities. Other assets and liabilities that are expected to have a short life were valued at the face value of the specific assets and liabilities purchased, including checks held for escheat, accrued bonuses and other liabilities.
 
Goodwill. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the expected revenue and cost synergies of the combined business. The goodwill portion of the purchase price allocation shown in the table above is subject to adjustment as the fair value of certain other components of the purchase price are adjusted.
 
All components of the purchase price allocation are considered preliminary. We anticipate finalizing the purchase price allocations by December 31, 2010. Potential changes in advances, premises and equipment and goodwill could be significant. Further changes to the opening balance of advances will result in a cash exchange between Ocwen and Barclays and, as such, should not result in any change to goodwill.
 
5.
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet
 
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on June 30, 2010. No effect is given to the pro forma adjustment for the earnings of HomEq Servicing that are reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations.
 
The following pro forma adjustments are included in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet:
 
 
A.
To record proceeds of $1,160,435 from the debt incurred under the senior secured term loan facility and the structured servicing advance facility in connection with the acquisition of HomEq Servicing, net of original issue discount and financing fees.
   
To record the cash consideration of $1,167,122 paid to acquire the net assets of HomEq Servicing.
 
B.
To record acquired advances of $1,057,166.
   
To reclassify $1,015,165 of the acquired advances, which have been pledged to the new servicing advance financing facility, to match funded advances.
 
C.
To eliminate the HomEq Servicing MSRs and recognize the $87,706 fair value of the acquired MSRs at the date of acquisition.
 
D.
To eliminate the HomEq Servicing servicing fee accrual at the date of acquisition to conform to Ocwen’s policy for servicing fee revenue recognition.
 
E.
To adjust the premises and equipment acquired, which consisted principally of leasehold improvements and computer hardware and software related to the HomEq servicing platforms based in Sacramento, California and Raleigh, North Carolina to their fair values at the date of acquisition.
 
F.
To record deferred financing fees on acquisition-related debt.
 
Page 7 of 8
 
 
 

 
 
 
G.
To record the acquisition-related debt issued, net of original issue discount on the senior secured term loan.
 
H.
To eliminate Barclay’s equity in HomEq Servicing.
 
I.
To record the balance sheet adjustments, net of current taxes at the combined federal and state rate of 37%, for nonrecurring acquisition-related transaction costs incurred subsequent to June 30, 2010. These costs consist of $2,532 of professional services related to the HomEq Acquisition.
 
6.
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations
 
The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning of each of the periods presented.
 
The pro forma adjustments to the Ocwen unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on the following adjustments to the historical statements of operations of HomEq Servicing:
 
 
A.
To eliminate the effect of the change in the HomEq Servicing accrual for servicing fees to conform to Ocwen’s policy for servicing fee revenue recognition.
   
To eliminate servicing fees related to MSRs not acquired by Ocwen.
 
B.
To eliminate the amortization of MSRs recognized by HomEq Servicing.
   
To record amortization of acquired MSRs, reflecting amortization that would have been recognized using Ocwen’s amortization policy if the acquired MSRs had been recorded on January 1, 2009 at their June 30, 2010 fair value.
 
C.
To eliminate acquisition-related professional services expenses incurred by Ocwen through June 30, 2010.
 
D.
To eliminate historical depreciation and other amortization recognized by HomEq Servicing.
   
To record depreciation expense on acquired fixed assets, which consisted principally of leasehold improvements and computer hardware and software related to the HomEq servicing platforms. Depreciation expense is based on the fair values of the acquired assets using Ocwen’s capitalization policies as adjusted for the remaining economic lives of the acquired assets at the date of acquisition.
 
E.
To eliminate interest costs associated with the pre-acquisition debt of HomEq Servicing not assumed by Ocwen.
   
To record interest expense on the new acquisition-related debt. The new acquisition-related debt bears interest at variable rates over time. For purposes of this pro forma adjustment, an interest rate of 9% was utilized for the senior secured term loan because 1-Month LIBOR was 0.34844% on June 30, 2010. The contractual quarterly principal repayments of $8,750 on the senior secured term loan were considered in determining the pro forma interest expense. For the revolving structured servicing advance financing facility, pro forma interest expense adjustments were based on the commercial paper rate of the principal lender of 0.36581% and 1-Month LIBOR, both as of June 30, 2010. If interest rates were to increase by 1/8% from those used in computing the pro forma interest expense, the effect would be to increase annual interest expense by $1 ,066.
   
To record amortization of debt issuance costs and discount on the new acquisition-related debt using the effective interest rate method
 
F.
To eliminate the change in value of MSRs at fair value recognized by HomEq Servicing.
 
G.
To record income taxes at the combined federal and state statutory rate of 37%.
 
7.
Earnings per Share
 
Because Ocwen paid cash to acquire HomEq Servicing and did not issue any stock or stock-based awards in connection with the HomEq Acquisition, the number of weighted average common shares outstanding used to compute pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share are the same as the Ocwen historical amounts.
