Hedging For Accountants
Empirical DurationNegative ConvexityCovered ShortsOption Adjusted SpreadDerivative Reporting
Accountants must understand Hedgingbull to confirm that the activity is reasonable and bull to explain the results to management
Hedging Activity and Derivative Reporting are the most complicated aspect of Mortgage Banking
Purpose of Hedging
Preserving the Secondary Margin
Key Pointsbull Volatility - Interest rates fluctuate on a moment by moment basis
bull Value Sensitivity - The locked pipeline and warehouse are exposed to interest rate risk from the time a lock commitment is issued to a customer until the loan is sold
bull Hedge - The purpose of a hedge transaction is to create an offsetting financial event that has the direct inverse reaction to the value change of the underlying hedged asset
bull Loans go up Hedge goes down ndash Rates downbull Loans go down Hedge goes up ndash Rates up

Hedging Off-Setbull The hedge transaction
bull Establish a financial transaction that possess the same sensitivity to changes in the interest rate environment
bull But behaves with the opposite impact from rate changes
bull The LONG position or originating a loan behaves with an inverse relationship to the changes in interest rates
bull The SHORT position or selling an MBS has a positive correlation to changes in interest rates If rates go up the value of the short position goes up
bull Being Long and Short in the same transaction offsets or cancels the impact of changes in value from changes in the interest rate environment
bull This results in preserving the value of the underlying asset
Value of the loan and hedge react inversely to changes in rates
Focus is margin preservation

Derivative Asset
Is Confusing to Business Ownersand leads to bad decisions
Capital Accounts with Derivative AssetThe Derivative Asset is not carried at Fair Value because the Derivative Asset cannot be sold for the carrying value
During 2018 several companies failed Capital = $2 million Derivative Asset = $2 million
The Owner did not understand why they were insolvent

Thanks to Oystein Konsmo CFO at Nova Financial for implementing this practice
Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect
bull I think MSR valuation of cash flow is a more accurate measure
Is an IRLC a Tradable Asset
How have CPAs Presented theDerivative Asset

bull Warehouse Lenders Rely on CPA for GAAP Capitalbull Lenderrsquos Observe CPA Auditorshellip

bull Warehouse Lenders reduce Derivative Asset ndash Some arbitrarily reduce by 50ndash Some reduce based on Net Future Cash Flows
Warehouse Lenderrsquos Adjustment
What about GAAP
bull What does GAAP say about Transformation Costs
bull Direct Cost Deduction Method - direct costs only
bull Full Cost Absorption Method - direct and indirect costs
bull IRLC is a pure derivative - IRLC same as TBA-MBS
bull Net Future Cash Flow Valuation Method (discussed soon)
Transformation Costs or Cost to Completebull What is the value of the IRLC
bull Pull-thru adjusted MTM less Costs to Complete
bull What is the right amount of Transformation Costsbull Direct Cost Deduction Method - direct costs onlybull Full Cost Absorption Method - both direct and indirect costsbull IRLC is a pure derivative ndash no adjustment (IRLC = TBA-MBS)
bull Uncertainty Principalndash Exponential diminishing impact to closingndash You have it when you have it otherwise uncertainndash Day of Lock 99 uncertainty Day before closing 1 uncertainty

Derivative Asset Value
View From Finance
Present Value of Net Future Cash Flow
Same as MSR
Derivative Asset OoopsMany CPAs firms have issued opinions on financial statements with derivative asset values I would challenge as not reasonable
Changing Presentation method now creates exposure to Opinion Risk
There is presently no consensus among CPA Auditors about how to apply GAAP
What is the Value of the IRLC - DA
Day of Lock Day Before Closing
High ProbabilityRevenue less Commission
Value is approaching Revenue
UnIncurred Costs Decrease as Percentage of Completion Increases
Low ProbabilityRevenue less all Costs
Value is approaching Zero
What is the value of an Intangible Asset
The Derivative Asset is an Intangible Asset
AICPA Valuation Servicesbull The AICPA Statement on Standards for Valuation Services supports
Valuation of an Intangible Asset using the Income Market or Cost approach for valuation conclusions
bull The IRLC-DA has no Market ndash (you canrsquot sell an IRLC)bull The Income Approach aka Discounted Future Benefit technique is
approximated in this webinar when applied to the IRLC-DAbull Similar to Present Value of Net Future Cash Flow used for MSR
bull Fundamentally in Valuation ndash DOES THE VALUE MAKE SENCE
bull Email me for a copy of the standard or go to httpswwwaicpaorgcontentdamaicpainterestareasforensicandvaluationresourcesstandardsdownloadabledocumentsssvs-full-versionpdf
bull The AICPA offers credentials in Forensics and Valuationbull I hold Certification in Financial Forensics
Net Future Cash Flow Methodbull Evaluate Hedging Data by Status Codebull Probability Weighted By Segmentbull Calculate Percentage Of Completionbull Allocate Total Cost Per Loanbull Estimated Value of Intangible Asset
Disclaimer Not GAAP Auditor Judgment
AICPA - Discounted Future Benefit
Hedging Data for DA Valuationbull Hedging Measures Pull-Thru by Status Code
bull Status Codes define Position in Locked Pipeline for Pull-thrubull Status Codes = Lock Start Proc End Proc Approved CTCbull Pull-thru Probability example = 50 65 80 90 98
bull Pull-thru by Status Code varies widely (40 to 99)bull Pull-thru changes depending upon Product LO Branch Purpose
bull Pipeline by Status Codes provides reasonable basis to apply net future cash flow valuation methods
Percentage of Completion by StatusAssign Percentage of Completion by Status CodeLock 5 Start Proc - 15 End Proc - 30 Approved - 40 CTC 46
Allocate Total Cost Per Loan by status code based on percentage completion
Never allocate 100 of cost because commission and sales costs are not incurred until the application becomes a loan

Explaining GAAP Revenue Recognition
FASB EITF IRLC Commentary
What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income
GAAP Revenue RecognitionRevenue at Lock
Expense at ClosingCash at Sale and PO Settlement
Volume Variability Drives Impact
Example of GAAP Revenue Recognition
Impact on Monthly PampL of Mortgage Lender
the following schedule is just for reference
Loans Closed over 6 months
Volume and PampL LHFS only (Exclude IRLC)
Revenue and Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
PampL - with and without IRLC
78000000
105300000
GAAP is OrangeManagement is Gray
50544000
Revenue at Lock Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss
GAAP Has Good Intentions
End SessionAs Star Trek Captain Picard states
All good things must come to an End

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect
bull I think MSR valuation of cash flow is a more accurate measure

What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

Empirical DurationNegative ConvexityCovered ShortsOption Adjusted SpreadDerivative Reporting
Accountants must understand Hedgingbull to confirm that the activity is reasonable and bull to explain the results to management
Hedging Activity and Derivative Reporting are the most complicated aspect of Mortgage Banking
Purpose of Hedging
Preserving the Secondary Margin
Key Pointsbull Volatility - Interest rates fluctuate on a moment by moment basis
bull Value Sensitivity - The locked pipeline and warehouse are exposed to interest rate risk from the time a lock commitment is issued to a customer until the loan is sold
bull Hedge - The purpose of a hedge transaction is to create an offsetting financial event that has the direct inverse reaction to the value change of the underlying hedged asset
bull Loans go up Hedge goes down ndash Rates downbull Loans go down Hedge goes up ndash Rates up

Hedging Off-Setbull The hedge transaction
bull Establish a financial transaction that possess the same sensitivity to changes in the interest rate environment
bull But behaves with the opposite impact from rate changes
bull The LONG position or originating a loan behaves with an inverse relationship to the changes in interest rates
bull The SHORT position or selling an MBS has a positive correlation to changes in interest rates If rates go up the value of the short position goes up
bull Being Long and Short in the same transaction offsets or cancels the impact of changes in value from changes in the interest rate environment
bull This results in preserving the value of the underlying asset
Value of the loan and hedge react inversely to changes in rates
Focus is margin preservation

What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

Hedging For Accountants
Empirical DurationNegative ConvexityCovered ShortsOption Adjusted SpreadDerivative Reporting
Accountants must understand Hedgingbull to confirm that the activity is reasonable and bull to explain the results to management
Hedging Activity and Derivative Reporting are the most complicated aspect of Mortgage Banking
Purpose of Hedging
Preserving the Secondary Margin
Key Pointsbull Volatility - Interest rates fluctuate on a moment by moment basis
bull Value Sensitivity - The locked pipeline and warehouse are exposed to interest rate risk from the time a lock commitment is issued to a customer until the loan is sold
bull Hedge - The purpose of a hedge transaction is to create an offsetting financial event that has the direct inverse reaction to the value change of the underlying hedged asset
bull Loans go up Hedge goes down ndash Rates downbull Loans go down Hedge goes up ndash Rates up

Hedging Off-Setbull The hedge transaction
bull Establish a financial transaction that possess the same sensitivity to changes in the interest rate environment
bull But behaves with the opposite impact from rate changes
bull The LONG position or originating a loan behaves with an inverse relationship to the changes in interest rates
bull The SHORT position or selling an MBS has a positive correlation to changes in interest rates If rates go up the value of the short position goes up
bull Being Long and Short in the same transaction offsets or cancels the impact of changes in value from changes in the interest rate environment
bull This results in preserving the value of the underlying asset
Value of the loan and hedge react inversely to changes in rates
Focus is margin preservation

Derivative Asset OoopsMany CPAs firms have issued opinions on financial statements with derivative asset values I would challenge as not reasonable
Changing Presentation method now creates exposure to Opinion Risk
There is presently no consensus among CPA Auditors about how to apply GAAP
What is the Value of the IRLC - DA
Day of Lock Day Before Closing
High ProbabilityRevenue less Commission
Value is approaching Revenue
UnIncurred Costs Decrease as Percentage of Completion Increases
Low ProbabilityRevenue less all Costs

What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income
GAAP Revenue RecognitionRevenue at Lock
Expense at ClosingCash at Sale and PO Settlement
Volume Variability Drives Impact
Example of GAAP Revenue Recognition
Impact on Monthly PampL of Mortgage Lender
the following schedule is just for reference
Loans Closed over 6 months
Volume and PampL LHFS only (Exclude IRLC)
Revenue and Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
PampL - with and without IRLC

105300000
GAAP is OrangeManagement is Gray
50544000
Revenue at Lock Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss
GAAP Has Good Intentions

Hedging For Accountants
Empirical DurationNegative ConvexityCovered ShortsOption Adjusted SpreadDerivative Reporting
Accountants must understand Hedgingbull to confirm that the activity is reasonable and bull to explain the results to management
Hedging Activity and Derivative Reporting are the most complicated aspect of Mortgage Banking
Purpose of Hedging
Preserving the Secondary Margin
Key Pointsbull Volatility - Interest rates fluctuate on a moment by moment basis
bull Value Sensitivity - The locked pipeline and warehouse are exposed to interest rate risk from the time a lock commitment is issued to a customer until the loan is sold
bull Hedge - The purpose of a hedge transaction is to create an offsetting financial event that has the direct inverse reaction to the value change of the underlying hedged asset
bull Loans go up Hedge goes down ndash Rates downbull Loans go down Hedge goes up ndash Rates up

Hedging Off-Setbull The hedge transaction
bull Establish a financial transaction that possess the same sensitivity to changes in the interest rate environment
bull But behaves with the opposite impact from rate changes
bull The LONG position or originating a loan behaves with an inverse relationship to the changes in interest rates
bull The SHORT position or selling an MBS has a positive correlation to changes in interest rates If rates go up the value of the short position goes up
bull Being Long and Short in the same transaction offsets or cancels the impact of changes in value from changes in the interest rate environment
bull This results in preserving the value of the underlying asset
Value of the loan and hedge react inversely to changes in rates
Focus is margin preservation

IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact

Hedging Basics
Hedging For Accountants
Empirical DurationNegative ConvexityCovered ShortsOption Adjusted SpreadDerivative Reporting
Accountants must understand Hedgingbull to confirm that the activity is reasonable and bull to explain the results to management
Hedging Activity and Derivative Reporting are the most complicated aspect of Mortgage Banking
Purpose of Hedging
Preserving the Secondary Margin
Key Pointsbull Volatility - Interest rates fluctuate on a moment by moment basis
bull Value Sensitivity - The locked pipeline and warehouse are exposed to interest rate risk from the time a lock commitment is issued to a customer until the loan is sold
bull Hedge - The purpose of a hedge transaction is to create an offsetting financial event that has the direct inverse reaction to the value change of the underlying hedged asset
bull Loans go up Hedge goes down ndash Rates downbull Loans go down Hedge goes up ndash Rates up

Hedging Off-Setbull The hedge transaction
bull Establish a financial transaction that possess the same sensitivity to changes in the interest rate environment
bull But behaves with the opposite impact from rate changes
bull The LONG position or originating a loan behaves with an inverse relationship to the changes in interest rates
bull The SHORT position or selling an MBS has a positive correlation to changes in interest rates If rates go up the value of the short position goes up
bull Being Long and Short in the same transaction offsets or cancels the impact of changes in value from changes in the interest rate environment
bull This results in preserving the value of the underlying asset
Value of the loan and hedge react inversely to changes in rates
Focus is margin preservation

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect

FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

Hedging For Accountants
Empirical DurationNegative ConvexityCovered ShortsOption Adjusted SpreadDerivative Reporting
Accountants must understand Hedgingbull to confirm that the activity is reasonable and bull to explain the results to management
Hedging Activity and Derivative Reporting are the most complicated aspect of Mortgage Banking
Purpose of Hedging
Preserving the Secondary Margin
Key Pointsbull Volatility - Interest rates fluctuate on a moment by moment basis
bull Value Sensitivity - The locked pipeline and warehouse are exposed to interest rate risk from the time a lock commitment is issued to a customer until the loan is sold
bull Hedge - The purpose of a hedge transaction is to create an offsetting financial event that has the direct inverse reaction to the value change of the underlying hedged asset

Hedging Off-Setbull The hedge transaction
bull Establish a financial transaction that possess the same sensitivity to changes in the interest rate environment
bull But behaves with the opposite impact from rate changes
bull The LONG position or originating a loan behaves with an inverse relationship to the changes in interest rates
bull The SHORT position or selling an MBS has a positive correlation to changes in interest rates If rates go up the value of the short position goes up
bull Being Long and Short in the same transaction offsets or cancels the impact of changes in value from changes in the interest rate environment
bull This results in preserving the value of the underlying asset
Value of the loan and hedge react inversely to changes in rates
Focus is margin preservation

What is the Locked Pipeline

bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP

Derivative Asset OoopsMany CPAs firms have issued opinions on financial statements with derivative asset values I would challenge as not reasonable

FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP

What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

Purpose of Hedging
Preserving the Secondary Margin
Key Pointsbull Volatility - Interest rates fluctuate on a moment by moment basis
bull Value Sensitivity - The locked pipeline and warehouse are exposed to interest rate risk from the time a lock commitment is issued to a customer until the loan is sold
bull Hedge - The purpose of a hedge transaction is to create an offsetting financial event that has the direct inverse reaction to the value change of the underlying hedged asset
bull Loans go up Hedge goes down ndash Rates downbull Loans go down Hedge goes up ndash Rates up

Hedging Off-Setbull The hedge transaction
bull Establish a financial transaction that possess the same sensitivity to changes in the interest rate environment
bull But behaves with the opposite impact from rate changes
bull The LONG position or originating a loan behaves with an inverse relationship to the changes in interest rates
bull The SHORT position or selling an MBS has a positive correlation to changes in interest rates If rates go up the value of the short position goes up
bull Being Long and Short in the same transaction offsets or cancels the impact of changes in value from changes in the interest rate environment
bull This results in preserving the value of the underlying asset
Value of the loan and hedge react inversely to changes in rates
Focus is margin preservation

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable

What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

bull The LONG position or originating a loan behaves with an inverse relationship to the changes in interest rates
bull The SHORT position or selling an MBS has a positive correlation to changes in interest rates If rates go up the value of the short position goes up

Hedging Off-Setbull The hedge transaction
bull Establish a financial transaction that possess the same sensitivity to changes in the interest rate environment
bull But behaves with the opposite impact from rate changes
bull The LONG position or originating a loan behaves with an inverse relationship to the changes in interest rates
bull The SHORT position or selling an MBS has a positive correlation to changes in interest rates If rates go up the value of the short position goes up
bull Being Long and Short in the same transaction offsets or cancels the impact of changes in value from changes in the interest rate environment
bull This results in preserving the value of the underlying asset
Value of the loan and hedge react inversely to changes in rates
Focus is margin preservation

What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect

What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect
bull I think MSR valuation of cash flow is a more accurate measure

Derivative Asset OoopsMany CPAs firms have issued opinions on financial statements with derivative asset values I would challenge as not reasonable
Changing Presentation method now creates exposure to Opinion Risk
There is presently no consensus among CPA Auditors about how to apply GAAP

UnIncurred Costs Decrease as Percentage of Completion Increases

What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income
GAAP Revenue RecognitionRevenue at Lock
Expense at ClosingCash at Sale and PO Settlement
Volume Variability Drives Impact
Example of GAAP Revenue Recognition
Impact on Monthly PampL of Mortgage Lender
the following schedule is just for reference
Loans Closed over 6 months

Revenue at Lock Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income
GAAP Revenue RecognitionRevenue at Lock
Expense at ClosingCash at Sale and PO Settlement
Volume Variability Drives Impact
Example of GAAP Revenue Recognition
Impact on Monthly PampL of Mortgage Lender
the following schedule is just for reference
Loans Closed over 6 months
Volume and PampL LHFS only (Exclude IRLC)
Revenue and Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
PampL - with and without IRLC
78000000
105300000
GAAP is OrangeManagement is Gray
50544000
Revenue at Lock Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss
GAAP Has Good Intentions

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect
bull I think MSR valuation of cash flow is a more accurate measure
Is an IRLC a Tradable Asset

Derivative Asset Value

Present Value of Net Future Cash Flow
Same as MSR
Derivative Asset OoopsMany CPAs firms have issued opinions on financial statements with derivative asset values I would challenge as not reasonable
Changing Presentation method now creates exposure to Opinion Risk
There is presently no consensus among CPA Auditors about how to apply GAAP
What is the Value of the IRLC - DA
Day of Lock Day Before Closing
High ProbabilityRevenue less Commission
Value is approaching Revenue
UnIncurred Costs Decrease as Percentage of Completion Increases
Low ProbabilityRevenue less all Costs

What is the value of an Intangible Asset
The Derivative Asset is an Intangible Asset
AICPA Valuation Servicesbull The AICPA Statement on Standards for Valuation Services supports
Valuation of an Intangible Asset using the Income Market or Cost approach for valuation conclusions

FASB EITF IRLC Commentary
What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

Volume Variability Drives Impact
Example of GAAP Revenue Recognition

Revenue at Lock Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss
GAAP Has Good Intentions

bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income
GAAP Revenue RecognitionRevenue at Lock
Expense at ClosingCash at Sale and PO Settlement
Volume Variability Drives Impact
Example of GAAP Revenue Recognition
Impact on Monthly PampL of Mortgage Lender
the following schedule is just for reference
Loans Closed over 6 months
Volume and PampL LHFS only (Exclude IRLC)
Revenue and Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
PampL - with and without IRLC

GAAP is OrangeManagement is Gray
50544000
Revenue at Lock Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss
GAAP Has Good Intentions

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect

What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income
GAAP Revenue RecognitionRevenue at Lock

Volume Variability Drives Impact
Example of GAAP Revenue Recognition
Impact on Monthly PampL of Mortgage Lender
the following schedule is just for reference

Revenue at Lock Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect
bull I think MSR valuation of cash flow is a more accurate measure

Present Value of Net Future Cash Flow

Derivative Asset OoopsMany CPAs firms have issued opinions on financial statements with derivative asset values I would challenge as not reasonable
Changing Presentation method now creates exposure to Opinion Risk
There is presently no consensus among CPA Auditors about how to apply GAAP

UnIncurred Costs Decrease as Percentage of Completion Increases

What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect
bull I think MSR valuation of cash flow is a more accurate measure

Derivative Asset Value
View From Finance
Present Value of Net Future Cash Flow
Same as MSR
Derivative Asset OoopsMany CPAs firms have issued opinions on financial statements with derivative asset values I would challenge as not reasonable
Changing Presentation method now creates exposure to Opinion Risk
There is presently no consensus among CPA Auditors about how to apply GAAP
What is the Value of the IRLC - DA
Day of Lock Day Before Closing
High ProbabilityRevenue less Commission
Value is approaching Revenue
UnIncurred Costs Decrease as Percentage of Completion Increases
Low ProbabilityRevenue less all Costs
Value is approaching Zero
What is the value of an Intangible Asset
The Derivative Asset is an Intangible Asset
AICPA Valuation Servicesbull The AICPA Statement on Standards for Valuation Services supports
Valuation of an Intangible Asset using the Income Market or Cost approach for valuation conclusions

What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect

FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]

bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect
bull I think MSR valuation of cash flow is a more accurate measure
Is an IRLC a Tradable Asset

bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect
bull I think MSR valuation of cash flow is a more accurate measure
Is an IRLC a Tradable Asset

Present Value of Net Future Cash Flow

Derivative Asset OoopsMany CPAs firms have issued opinions on financial statements with derivative asset values I would challenge as not reasonable
Changing Presentation method now creates exposure to Opinion Risk
There is presently no consensus among CPA Auditors about how to apply GAAP
What is the Value of the IRLC - DA

UnIncurred Costs Decrease as Percentage of Completion Increases

AICPA Valuation Servicesbull The AICPA Statement on Standards for Valuation Services supports
Valuation of an Intangible Asset using the Income Market or Cost approach for valuation conclusions

What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement

Derivative Asset
Is Confusing to Business Ownersand leads to bad decisions
Capital Accounts with Derivative AssetThe Derivative Asset is not carried at Fair Value because the Derivative Asset cannot be sold for the carrying value
During 2018 several companies failed Capital = $2 million Derivative Asset = $2 million

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect
bull I think MSR valuation of cash flow is a more accurate measure

FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect

Derivative Asset Value
View From Finance
Present Value of Net Future Cash Flow
Same as MSR
Derivative Asset OoopsMany CPAs firms have issued opinions on financial statements with derivative asset values I would challenge as not reasonable
Changing Presentation method now creates exposure to Opinion Risk
There is presently no consensus among CPA Auditors about how to apply GAAP
What is the Value of the IRLC - DA
Day of Lock Day Before Closing
High ProbabilityRevenue less Commission
Value is approaching Revenue
UnIncurred Costs Decrease as Percentage of Completion Increases
Low ProbabilityRevenue less all Costs
Value is approaching Zero
What is the value of an Intangible Asset
The Derivative Asset is an Intangible Asset
AICPA Valuation Servicesbull The AICPA Statement on Standards for Valuation Services supports
Valuation of an Intangible Asset using the Income Market or Cost approach for valuation conclusions
bull The IRLC-DA has no Market ndash (you canrsquot sell an IRLC)bull The Income Approach aka Discounted Future Benefit technique is

bull Pull-thru by Status Code varies widely (40 to 99)bull Pull-thru changes depending upon Product LO Branch Purpose
bull Pipeline by Status Codes provides reasonable basis to apply net future cash flow valuation methods

Allocate Total Cost Per Loan by status code based on percentage completion
Never allocate 100 of cost because commission and sales costs are not incurred until the application becomes a loan

FASB EITF IRLC Commentary
What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement
820-10-50-2(bbb)
Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income
GAAP Revenue RecognitionRevenue at Lock
Expense at ClosingCash at Sale and PO Settlement
Volume Variability Drives Impact
Example of GAAP Revenue Recognition
Impact on Monthly PampL of Mortgage Lender
the following schedule is just for reference
Loans Closed over 6 months
Volume and PampL LHFS only (Exclude IRLC)
Revenue and Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
PampL - with and without IRLC
78000000
105300000
GAAP is OrangeManagement is Gray
50544000
Revenue at Lock Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss
GAAP Has Good Intentions

All good things must come to an End

What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
Did your 2017 audit reports follow the 820-10-50-2(bbb) requirement

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income
GAAP Revenue RecognitionRevenue at Lock
Expense at ClosingCash at Sale and PO Settlement
Volume Variability Drives Impact
Example of GAAP Revenue Recognition
Impact on Monthly PampL of Mortgage Lender
the following schedule is just for reference
Loans Closed over 6 months
Volume and PampL LHFS only (Exclude IRLC)
Revenue and Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
PampL - with and without IRLC
78000000
105300000
GAAP is OrangeManagement is Gray
50544000
Revenue at Lock Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss
GAAP Has Good Intentions

Derivative Asset
Is Confusing to Business Ownersand leads to bad decisions
Capital Accounts with Derivative AssetThe Derivative Asset is not carried at Fair Value because the Derivative Asset cannot be sold for the carrying value
During 2018 several companies failed Capital = $2 million Derivative Asset = $2 million

Derivative Asset Characteristics
What is the Locked Pipeline
bull IRLC is a lock commitments issued to borrowers bull They are ldquoApplications in Processrdquo bull IRLC are commitments ndash not Loans bull There is no active market for IRLCbull There is no Asset to basis adjust for MTM
bull Is a TBA-MBS tradeable in its current form YES
bull Is a IRLC tradeable in its current form NO
bull The IRLC must be Transformed into a loan then securitized to be valued as tradeable instrument
bull Transformational Costs are unavoidable and undeniable
bull IRLC is not pure derivative but is derivative under GAAP
bull Absorption Costing is a way to understand the basis for Transformational Costs = Work in Process but is it not perfect

bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss

What about GAAP
bull What does GAAP say about Transformation Costs
bull Direct Cost Deduction Method - direct costs only
bull Full Cost Absorption Method - direct and indirect costs
bull IRLC is a pure derivative - IRLC same as TBA-MBS
bull Net Future Cash Flow Valuation Method (discussed soon)
Transformation Costs or Cost to Completebull What is the value of the IRLC
bull Pull-thru adjusted MTM less Costs to Complete
bull What is the right amount of Transformation Costsbull Direct Cost Deduction Method - direct costs onlybull Full Cost Absorption Method - both direct and indirect costsbull IRLC is a pure derivative ndash no adjustment (IRLC = TBA-MBS)
bull Uncertainty Principalndash Exponential diminishing impact to closingndash You have it when you have it otherwise uncertainndash Day of Lock 99 uncertainty Day before closing 1 uncertainty

Derivative Asset OoopsMany CPAs firms have issued opinions on financial statements with derivative asset values I would challenge as not reasonable

FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

Revenue at Lock Expense at Closing Cash at Sale
IRLC Revenue is Confusingbull Explaining the IRLC Revenue Recognition is difficultbull Recognize Revenue at Lock and Expense at Closing
bull Even though CTC is applied to reduce the IRLC the Recognition of IRLC Revenue at Lock given changing volume levels distorts PampL If monthly volume never changed distortion is abated
bull IRLC is very difficult for Management to Understandbull We use charts and graphs to highlight the IRLC impact
bull It is essential to prepare Management the PampL Impact when volume drops and GAAP shows a loss
GAAP Has Good Intentions

Derivative Asset OoopsMany CPAs firms have issued opinions on financial statements with derivative asset values I would challenge as not reasonable
Changing Presentation method now creates exposure to Opinion Risk
There is presently no consensus among CPA Auditors about how to apply GAAP
What is the Value of the IRLC - DA
Day of Lock Day Before Closing
High ProbabilityRevenue less Commission
Value is approaching Revenue
UnIncurred Costs Decrease as Percentage of Completion Increases
Low ProbabilityRevenue less all Costs
Value is approaching Zero
What is the value of an Intangible Asset
The Derivative Asset is an Intangible Asset

The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income

FASB EITF IRLC Commentary
What about 820-10-50-2(bbb)
FASB Board Meeting ndash 32818Staff Discussion Highlights
bull Existing principles-based guidance in ASC 820 is adequate
bull Follow disclosure requirement in 820-10-50-2(bbb)
bull Recommendation that MBA write a white paper As of 111518The group has not reached a consensus possibly because the CPA auditors have Opinion Risk if they change and the CFOs want the DA to be high because they have Capital Risk
The FASB stated on March 28 that the asset is subject to Level 3 inputs because of the unobservable cost and pull-through components
The MBArsquos white paper states that it is Level 3
For IRLC to meet Level 2 criteria the inputs to the model must be observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset No user could see pull-through for the full life of the lock much less the costs and revenues involved
IRLC is Level 3 Fair Value ndash FIX BOOK
Existing Disclosures Requirement
ldquoFor recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement [ ]
For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy a reporting entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement

Tax Implication From MTM of IRLC amp Hedge
IRLC is Taxable when Recorded - BUTbull If count as book income then counted as tax income bull MSR not taxes until cash collect (no change)
bull Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accrual method taxpayers recognize taxable income no later than the tax year in which the item is recognized as book revenue
bull There is a 4 year deferral election
bull There is a continuing debate about the taxability of the IRLC but without IRS revenue ruling the TCJA is clear
bull Increasing Cost to Complete will reduce taxable income
