Ongoing Risks
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the COVID-19 outbreak) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted global financial markets and contributed to significant volatility in market liquidity and yields required by market investors in the type of financial instruments originated by the Companys primary operating subsidiaries. In the U.S., significant fiscal stimulus measures, monetary policy actions and other relief measures have helped to moderate the negative economic impacts of COVID-19, and have supported the economic recovery which began in 2020 and continues into 2021. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) was enacted into law. In March 2021, the U.S. federal government passed a $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act or ARPA, which together with the CARES Act and other fiscal stimulus measures put in place in 2020, provide for, among other things, funding to state and local governments, direct payments to households, support for small businesses, renter assistance and funding for transport, airlines, healthcare and education. Monetary policy decisions have included quantitative easing and the provision of liquidity to financial institutions and credit markets. In addition, housing measures, such as forbearance on mortgages and suspension of foreclosures and evictions, and various executive orders have helped to provide relief.
The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this report. The Companys management is actively monitoring the global situation and its effect on the Companys financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry, and workforce. Further, the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic on the residential mortgage and commercial lending industries. As of March 31, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic remains in place and impacts the economic environment in which the Company conducts business but has not had a material impact to the Companys consolidated financial statements for three months ended March 31, 2021. However, as the pandemic continues, it may have an adverse effect on the Companys results of future operations, financial position, intangible assets and liquidity in fiscal year 2021.

FoA is a holding company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware in July 2020. Through its Parent, the Company is owned by Libman Family Holdings, LLC, certain investment funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group Inc. (Blackstone) and other co-investors (collectively, the Initial Investors). There are no historical operating results as, contemporaneous with the formation of FoA, UFG contributed all of its operating subsidiaries into FoA in a common control reorganization. The reorganization was accounted for as a reorganization under common control and, accordingly, the historical basis of accounting was retained as if the entities had always been combined for financial reporting purposes. The Company conducts substantially all of its business operations through its operating subsidiaries. In October 2020, UFG and FoA entered into a transaction agreement with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), pursuant to which, the SPAC will acquire an equity interest in FoA from its Initial Investors.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The significant accounting policies described below, together with the other notes that follow, are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and certain variable interest entities (VIEs) where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE when it has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance, and (2) exposure to benefits and/or losses that could potentially be significant to the entity. Assets and liabilities of VIEs and their respective results of operations are consolidated from the date that the Company became the primary beneficiary through the date that the Company ceases to be the primary beneficiary.
The company consolidates the accounts of Finance of America Commercial Holdings LLC (FACo Holdings), the noncontrolling interests of which meet the definition of contingently redeemable financial instruments for which the ability to redeem is outside the control of the consolidating entity. The Contingently Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest (CRNCI) in this subsidiary is shown as a separate caption between liabilities and equity. Any income or losses attributable to the CRNCI are shown as an addition to or deduction from CRNCI in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. See Note 25 - Changes in CRNCI for further discussion of the CRNCI and additions to or deductions from the CRNCI balance.
Net Income Per Unit
FoAs capital structure consists of a single class of outstanding membership units which are held by one member, UFG. Therefore, the Company has omitted earnings per unit due to the limited number of LLC unit holders for the periods presented.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
Standard | Description | Effective Date | Effect on Consolidated Financial Statements | |||
ASU 2016-13 , Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief, ASU 2019-10, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses (Topic 326), ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments | Requires use of the current expected credit loss model that is based on expected losses (net of expected recoveries), rather than incurred losses, to determine our allowance for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, certain net investments in leases and certain off-balance sheet arrangements.
Replaces current accounting for purchased credit impaired (PCI) and impaired loans.
Amends the other-than-temporary impairment model for available for sale debt securities. The new guidance requires that credit losses be recorded through an allowance approach, rather than through permanent write-downs for credit losses and subsequent accretion of positive changes through interest income over time. |
January 2020 | The Company determined that certain servicer advances and other receivables, net of reserves including in other assets are with the scope of ASU 2016-13. The Company determined that these receivables have limited expected credit-related losses due to the contractual servicing agreements with agencies and loan product guarantees. Furthermore, the Company determined that for outstanding servicer and other advances, that the majority of estimated losses are attributable to losses due to servicing operational errors and credit-related losses are not significant because of the contractual relationship with the agencies. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. | |||
ASU 2018-17 , Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities | The amendments in this Update require that indirect interests held through related parties under common control be considered on a proportional basis when determining whether fees paid to decision makers or service providers are variable interests. These amendments align with the determination of whether a reporting entity within a related party group is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. | January 2020 | The Company adopted this guidance using the prospective method of adoption.
Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. | |||
ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment | Historical guidance for goodwill impairment testing prescribed that the Company must compare each reporting units carrying value to its fair value. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, an entity performs the second step, which assigns the reporting units fair value to its assets and liabilities, including unrecognized assets and liabilities, in the same manner as required in purchase accounting and then records an impairment. This ASU eliminates the second step.
Under the new guidance, an impairment of a reporting units goodwill is determined based on the amount by which the reporting units carrying value exceeds its fair value, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. |
January 2020 | The Company adopted this guidance using the prospective method of adoption.
Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. |

ASU 2018-13 , Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement | The amendments in this Update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. Certain disclosure requirements were either removed, modified, or added.
This guidance removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurement methodologies, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also adds a requirement to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, entities may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. |
January 2020 | The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. | |||
ASU 2018-15 , Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customers Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract | The amendments in this Update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). | January 2020 | The Company adopted this guidance using the prospective method of adoption.
Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. |

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance, Not Yet Adopted as of March 31, 2021
Standard | Description | Date of Planned Adoption |
Effect on Consolidated Financial Statements | |||
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Codification Clarification |
The amendments in this Update provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or other interbank offered rates expected to be discontinued.
In January 2021, FASB issued an Update which refines the scope of ASU Topic 848 and clarifies the guidance issued to facilitate the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendment permits entities to elect certain optional expedients and exceptions when accounting for derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows, computing variation margin settlements and calculating price alignment interest in connection with reference rate reform activities. |
TBD | This ASU is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.
If LIBOR ceases to exist or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from the current methods for any reasons, interest rates on our floating rate loans, obligation derivatives, and other financial instruments tied to LIBOR rates, may be affected and need renegotiation with its lenders.
The Company is in the process of reviewing the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on the Companys consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
3. | Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations |
The Company determined that the SPEs created in connection with its securitizations are VIEs. A VIE is an entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the entity that, through its variable interests has both the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the VIEs economic performance and the obligations to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Finance of America Commercial
Finance of America Commercial LLC (FACo) securitizes certain of its interests in fix & flip mortgages. The transactions provide debt security holders the ability to invest in a pool of performing loans secured by investment real estate. The transactions provide the Company with access to liquidity for the loans and ongoing management fees. The principal and interest on the outstanding debt securities are paid using the cash flows from the underlying loans, which serve as collateral for the debt. The Company has determined that the securitization structure meets the definition of a VIE. In its capacity as servicer of the securitized loans, the Company retains the power to direct the VIEs activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance. The Company has also retained certain beneficial interests in these trusts which provide exposure to potential gains and losses on the performance of the trust. As the Company has both the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the VIEs economic performance and the obligations to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company has determined it meets the definition of the primary beneficiary and consolidates the trusts.
Certain obligations may arise from the agreements associated with transfers of loans. Under these agreements, the Company may be obligated to repurchase the loans, or otherwise indemnify or reimburse the investor for losses incurred due to material breach of contractual representations and warranties.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no charge-offs associated with these transferred mortgage loans related to the standard securitization representations and warranties obligations.

Finance of America Reverse
Finance of America Reverse LLC (FAR) securitizes certain of its interests in non-performing reverse mortgages and non-agency reverse mortgage loans. The transactions provide investors with the ability to invest in a pool of reverse mortgage loans secured by one-to-four-family residential properties. The transactions provide FAR with access to liquidity for these assets, ongoing servicing fees, and potential residual returns. The principal and interest on the outstanding certificates are paid using the cash flows from the underlying reverse mortgage loans, which serve as collateral for the debt. The securitizations are callable at or following the optional redemption date as defined in the respective indenture agreements. FAR has determined that these securitization structures meet the definition of VIEs. In its capacity as servicer of the securitized loans, the Company retains the power to direct the VIEs activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance. The Company has also retained certain beneficial interests in these trusts which provide exposure to potential gains and losses on the performance of the trust. As the Company has both the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the VIEs economic performance and the obligations to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company has determined it meets the definition of the primary beneficiary and consolidates the trusts.
In February 2021, the Company executed its optional redemption of outstanding securitized notes related to outstanding nonperforming HECM securitizations. As part of the optional redemption, the Company paid off notes with an outstanding principal balance of $294.2 million. The notes were paid off at par.

4. | Acquisitions |
Renovate America Inc.
On March 26, 2021, the Company acquired certain assets of Renovate America Inc. (RAI) in an asset purchase agreement for $43.5 million. The transaction will be accounted for using the acquisition method, including $36.0 million in total assets acquired resulting from the purchase have been initially recorded, consisting primarily of purchased loans, with the remaining $7.5 million of the purchase price being allocated to goodwill. Under the acquisition method of accounting, RAIs assets and liabilities will be recorded at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date with the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, if applicable, recognized as goodwill.
Additional disclosures required by ASC 805, Business Combinations, with respect to the acquisition have been omitted because the information needed for the disclosures is not currently available due to the close proximity of closing of this transaction with the date these consolidated financial statements are being issued.
5. | Fair Value |
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and follows a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). An instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation.
All aspects of nonperformance risk, including the Companys own credit standing, are considered when measuring the fair value of a liability.
Following is a description of the three levels:
Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
16
Finance of America Equity Capital LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Level 2 Inputs: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 Inputs: Instruments with unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company classifies assets in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers within the hierarchy for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used to measure material assets and liabilities at fair value and the details of the valuation models, key inputs to those models and significant assumptions utilized.
Reverse Mortgage Loans Held for Investment, Subject to HMBS Related Obligations, at Fair Value
HECM loans securitized into Ginnie Mae GNMA HMBS are not actively traded in open markets with readily observable market prices.
The Company values HECM loans securitized into GNMA HMBS utilizing a present value methodology that discounts estimated projected cash flows over the life of the loan portfolio using prepayment, borrower mortality, borrower draw and discounts rate assumptions management believes a market participant would use in estimating fair value. The significant unobservable inputs used in the measurement include:
Conditional Repayment Rate - the Company projects borrower prepayment rates which considers borrower age and gender and is based on historical termination rates. The outputs of borrower prepayment rates, which include both voluntary and involuntary prepayments, are utilized to anticipate future terminations.
Loss Frequency/Severity - termination proceeds are adjusted for expected loss frequencies and severities to arrive at net proceeds that will be provided upon final resolution. Historical experience is utilized to estimate the loss rates resulting from scenarios where FHA insurance proceeds are not expected to cover all principal and interest outstanding and, as servicer, the Company is exposed to losses upon resolution of the loan. Loss frequency and severities are based upon the historical experience with specific loan resolution waterfalls.
Due and Payable Triggers - the input for terminations not attributable to an FHA assignment is based on historical foreclosure and liquidation experience.
Discount Rate - derived based upon reference to yields required by market participants for recent transactions in the HECM loan bulk market adjusted based upon weighted average life of the loan portfolio. This rate reflects what the Company believes to be a market participants required yield on HECM loans of similar weighted average lives. The yield spread is applied over interpolated benchmark curve or as a spread over collateral forward curve.
Borrower Draw Rates - the draw curve is estimated based upon the historical experience with the specific product type contemplating the borrowers age and loan age.
Changes to any of these assumptions could result in significantly different valuation results. The Company classifies reverse mortgage loans held for investment as Level 3 assets within the GAAP hierarchy, as they are dependent on unobservable inputs.
The following table presents the weighted average significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of reverse mortgage loans held for investment, subject to HMBS related obligations, for the periods indicated:

The Company aggregates loan portfolios based upon the underlying securitization trust and values these loans using these aggregated pools. The range of inputs provided above are based upon the range of inputs utilized for each securitization trust.
Mortgage Loans Held for Investment, at Fair Value
Reverse Mortgage Loans
Reverse mortgage loans held for investment, at fair value, consists of originated or purchased HECM and non-agency reverse mortgage loans not yet securitized, unsecuritized tails, and certain HECMs purchased out of GNMA HMBS (Inventory Buyouts) that the Company intends to securitize for purposes of serving as collateral for future securitization transfers.
Originated or purchased HECM loans held for investment are valued predominantly by utilizing forward HMBS prices for similar pool characteristics and based on observable market data. These amounts are further adjusted to include future cash flows that would be earned for servicing the HECM loan over the life of the asset.
Unsecuritized tails consists of performing and nonperforming repurchased loans. The fair value of performing unsecuritized tails are valued at current pricing levels for similar GNMA HMBS. The fair value of nonperforming unsecuritized tails is based on expected claim proceeds from HUD upon assignment of the loans.
The fair value of repurchased loans is based on expected cash proceeds of the liquidation of the underlying properties and expected claim proceeds from HUD. The primary assumptions utilized in valuing nonperforming repurchased loans include loss frequency and loss severity. Termination proceeds are adjusted for expected loss frequencies and severities to arrive at net proceeds that will be provided upon final resolution, including assignments to FHA. Historical experience is utilized to estimate the loss rates resulting from scenarios where FHA insurance proceeds are not expected to cover all principal and interest outstanding and as servicer, the Company is exposed to losses upon resolution of the loan.
The Company classifies reverse mortgage loans held for investment, at fair value as Level 3 assets within the GAAP hierarchy.
Inventory Buyouts
The fair value of Inventory Buyouts is based on the expected cash proceeds of the liquidation of the underlying properties and expected claim proceeds from HUD. The primary assumptions utilized in valuing Inventory Buyouts include loss frequency and loss severity. Termination proceeds are adjusted for expected loss frequencies and severities to arrive at net proceeds that will be provided upon final resolution, including assignments to FHA. Historical experience is utilized to estimate the loss rates resulting from scenarios where FHA insurance proceeds are not expected to cover all principal and interest outstanding and as servicer, the Company is exposed to losses upon resolution of the loan.
The Company values Inventory Buyouts utilizing a present value methodology that discounts estimated projected cash flows over the life of the portfolio using conditional repayment, loss frequency and severity, borrower mortality, and discount rate assumptions management believes a market participant would use in estimating fair value.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, at Fair Value
Reverse Mortgage Loans
Reverse mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value, consists of unpoolable loans that the Company intends to sell to third party investors. Reverse mortgage loans held for sale consists primarily of performing repurchased loans. The fair value of performing unpoolable loans is based on expected claim proceeds from HUD upon assignment of the loans. In certain instances the loan balance may exceed the maximum claim amount (MCA). In these instances, the fair value is based on expected proceeds from sale of the underlying property and any additional HUD claim proceeds. The Company classifies reverse mortgage loans held for sale as Level 3 assets within the GAAP hierarchy.
Residential and Commercial Mortgage Loans
Mortgage loans held for sale include residential and commercial mortgage loans originated by the Company and held until sold to secondary market investors. The Company primarily originates conventional GSEs and government (FHA and Department of Veterans Affairs) residential mortgage loans (collectively residential mortgage loans held for sale) and recourse and nonrecourse commercial mortgage loans to owners and investors of single and multi-family residential rental properties (commercial loans held for sale).
Residential Mortgage Loans
The Company originates or purchases mortgage loans in the U.S. that it intends to sell to FNMA, FHLMC, and GNMA (collectively the Agencies). Additionally, the Company originates or purchases mortgage loans in the U.S. that it intends to sell into the secondary markets via whole loan sales. Mortgage loans held for sale are typically pooled and sold into certain exit markets, depending upon underlying attributes of the loan, such as agency eligibility, product type, interest rate, and credit quality. In addition, the Company may originate loans that do not meet specific underwriting criteria and are not eligible to be sold to the Agencies. Two valuation methodologies are
22
Finance of America Equity Capital LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
used to determine the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale. The methodology used depends on the exit market as described below:
Loans valued using observable market prices for identical or similar assets - This includes all mortgage loans that can be sold to the Agencies, which are valued predominantly by published forward agency prices. This will also include all non-agency loans where recently negotiated market prices for the loan pool exist with a counterparty (which approximates fair value), or quoted market prices for similar loans are available. As these valuations are derived from quoted market prices, the Company classified these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures. During periods of illiquidity of the mortgage marketplace, it may be necessary to look for alternative sources of value, including the whole loan purchase market for similar loans, and place more reliance on the valuations using internal models.
Loans valued using internal models To the extent observable market prices are not available, the Company will determine the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale using a collateral based valuation model, which approximates expected cash proceeds on liquidation. For loans where bid prices or commitment prices are unavailable, these valuation models estimate the exit price the Company expects to receive in the loans principal market and are based on a combination of recent appraisal values, adjusted for certain loss factors. The Company classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
Commercial Mortgage Loans
The Company primarily originates two separate commercial loan products that it classifies as held for sale: Single Rental Loan (SRL) and Portfolio Lending.
SRL
The SRL product is designed for small/individual real estate investors looking to purchase and then rent-out a single property. These are 30-year loans with fixed interest rates typically between 5.0% - 8.0%. This product is valued using a discounted cash flow model. The Company classifies these mortgage loans as Level 3 assets within the GAAP hierarchy.

As of March 2021, management made the decision to change the classification of fix & flip loans from mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value, to mortgage loans held for investment, at fair value.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company valued mortgage servicing rights internally. The significant assumptions utilized to determine fair value are projected prepayments using the Public Securities Association Standard Prepayment Model, discount rates, and projected servicing costs that vary based on the loan type and delinquency. The Company classifies these valuations as Level 3 since they are dependent on unobservable inputs.
Fair value is derived through a discounted cash flow analysis and calculated using a computer pricing model. This computer valuation is based on the objective characteristics of the portfolio (loan amount, note rate, etc.) and commonly used industry assumptions (PSAs, etc.). The assumptions taken into account by the pricing model are those which many active purchasers of servicing employ in their evaluations of portfolios for sale in the secondary market. The unique characteristics of the secondary servicing market often dictate adjustments to parameters over short periods of time.
Subjective factors are also considered in the derivation of fair values, including levels of supply and demand for servicing, interest rate trends, and perception of risk not incorporated into prepayment assumptions.
Fair value is defined as the estimated price at which the servicing would change hands in the marketplace between a willing buyer and seller. The valuation assumes that neither party would be under any compulsion to buy or sell and that each has reasonably complete and accurate knowledge of all relevant aspects of the offered servicing. The fair values represented in this analysis have been derived under the assumptions that sufficient time would be available to market the portfolio.
The following tables summarize certain information regarding the servicing portfolio of retained MSRs for the periods indicated:

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors, which could impact the above hypothetical effects.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
Some of the derivatives held by the Company are exchange-traded or traded within highly active dealer markets. In order to determine the fair value of these instruments, the Company utilizes the exchange price or dealer market price for the particular derivative contract; therefore, these contracts are classified as Level 1. In addition, the Company enters into IRLCs with prospective borrowers. Commitments to fund residential mortgage loans with potential borrowers are a binding agreement to lend funds to these potential borrowers at a specified interest rate within a specified period of time. The fair value of IRLCs is derived from the fair value of similar mortgage loans or bonds, which is based on observable market data. Changes to the fair value of IRLCs are recognized based on changes in interest rates, changes in the probability that the commitment will be exercised (pull through factor), and the passage of time. The expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan are included in the fair value measurement of IRLCs. The Company adjusts the outstanding IRLCs with prospective borrowers based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded. Given the unobservable nature of the pull through factor, IRLCs are classified as Level 3.
In addition, the Company executes derivative contracts, including forward commitments, TBAs, interest rate swaps, and interest rate swap futures, as part of its overall risk management strategy related to its reverse mortgage and commercial loan portfolios. The value of the forward commitments is estimated using current market prices for HMBS and are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. TBAs are valued based on forward dealer marks from the Companys approved counterparties and are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The value of interest rate swaps and interest rate swap futures is based on the exchange price or dealer market prices. The Company classifies interest rate swaps as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company classifies interest rate swap futures as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The value of the forward MBS is based on forward prices with dealers in such securities or internally-developed third party models utilizing observable market inputs. The Company classifies forward MBS as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments, at Fair Value
The Company invests in the equity of other companies in the form of common stock, preferred stock, or other in-substance equity interests. To the extent market prices are not observable, the Company engages third-party
25

valuation experts to assist in determining the fair value of these investments. The values are determined utilizing a market approach which estimates fair value based on what other participants in the market have paid for reasonably similar assets that have been sold within a reasonable period from the valuation date. The Company classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
HMBS Related Obligations, at Fair Value
The HMBS related obligation valuation considers the obligation to pass FHA insured cash flows through to the beneficial interest holders (repayment of secured borrowing) of the HMBS securities and the servicer and issuer obligations of the Company.
The valuation of the obligation to repay the secured borrowing is estimated using Level 3 unobservable market inputs. The estimated fair value is based on the net present value of projected cash flows over the estimated life of the liability. The estimated fair value of the HMBS related obligations also includes the consideration required by a market participant to transfer the HECM and HMBS servicing obligations including exposure resulting from shortfalls in FHA insurance proceeds.
The Companys valuation considers assumptions that it believes a market participant would consider in valuing the liability, including, but not limited to, assumptions for repayment, costs to transfer servicing obligations, shortfalls in FHA insurance proceeds, and discount rates. The significant unobservable inputs used in the measurement include:
Borrower Repayment Rates - the conditional repayment rate curve considers borrower age and gender is based on historical termination rates.
Discount Rate - derived based on an assessment of current market yields and spreads that a market participant would consider for entering into an obligation to pass FHA insured cash flows through to holders of the HMBS beneficial interests. Yield spread applied over interpolated benchmark curve or as a spread over collateral forward curve.

Nonrecourse Debt
Reverse Mortgage Loans
Outstanding notes issued that are securitized by nonrecourse debt are paid using the cash flows from the underlying reverse mortgage loans, which serve as collateral for the debt. Nonrecourse debt is estimated using Level 3 unobservable market inputs. The estimated fair value is based on the net present value of projected cash flows over the estimated life of the liability. The significant unobservable inputs used in the measurement include:
Weighted Average Remaining Life - the projected remaining life is based on the expected conditional prepayment rate, which is utilized to determine future terminations.
Borrower Repayment Rates - the conditional repayment rate curve considers borrower age and gender is based on historical termination rates.
Discount Rate - derived based on an assessment of current market yields and spreads that a market participant would consider for entering into an obligation to pass FHA insured cash flows through to holders of the HMBS beneficial interests.

Deferred purchase price liabilities are measured using a present value of future payments which considers various assumptions, including future loan origination volumes, projected earnings and discount rates. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company utilized discount rates ranging from 12% to 21% to value the deferred purchase price liabilities. As this value is largely based on unobservable inputs, the Company classifies this liability as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Companys assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Nonrecourse MSR Financing Liability, at Fair Value
The Company has agreed to sell to certain third parties the right to receive all excess servicing and ancillary fees related to identified mortgage servicing rights in exchange for an upfront payment equal to the entire purchase price of the indentified mortgage servicing rights.
Consistent with the underlying mortgage servicing rights, fair value is derived through a discounted cash flow analysis and calculated using a computer pricing model. This computer valuation is based on the objective characteristics of the portfolio (loan amount, note rate, etc.) and commonly used industry assumptions (PSAs, etc.). The assumptions taken into account by the pricing model are those which many active purchasers of servicing employ in their evaluations of portfolios for sale in the secondary market. The unique characteristics of the secondary servicing market often dictate adjustments to parameters over short periods of time.
Subjective factors are also considered in the derivation of fair values, including levels of supply and demand for servicing, interest rate trends, and perception of risk not incorporated into prepayment assumptions.
The Company classifies the valuations of the nonrecourse MSR financing liability as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.

As the cash flows on the underlying mortgage loans will be utilized to settle the outstanding obligations, the Companys own credit risk would not impact the fair value on the outstanding HMBS liabilities and nonrecourse debt.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all financial instruments were either recorded at fair value or the carrying value approximated fair value. For financial instruments that were not recorded at fair value, such as Cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash, servicer advances and other financing lines of credit, the carrying value approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

12. | Derivatives and Risk Management Activities |
The Companys principal market exposure is to interest rate risk, specifically long-term U.S. Treasury and mortgage interest rates, due to their impact on mortgage-related assets and commitments. The Company is also subject to changes in short-term interest rates, such as LIBOR, due to their impact on certain variable rate asset-backed debt such as warehouse lines of credit. Various financial instruments are used to manage and reduce this risk, including forward delivery commitments on mortgage-backed securities or whole loans and interest rate swaps.
The Company did not have any derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments or subject to master netting and collateral agreements as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Company is exposed to risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties in their derivative contracts. In general, the Company manages such risk by evaluating the financial position and creditworthiness of counterparties, monitoring the amount of exposure and/or dispersing the risk among multiple counterparties. While the Company does not presently have master netting arrangements with its derivative counterparties, it does either maintain or deposit cash as margin collateral with its clearing broker to the extent the relative value of its derivatives are above or below their initial strike price. The Company pledged deposits of $0.1 million and $12.0 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Total margin collateral is included in other assets, net, in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Nonrecourse MSR Financing Liability, at Fair Value
The Company has agreements with third parties to sell beneficial interests in the servicing fees generated from certain of its originated or acquired mortgage servicing rights. Under these agreements, the Company has agreed to sell to the third parties the right to receive all excess servicing and ancillary fees related to the identified MSRs in exchange for an upfront payment equal to the entire purchase price of the identified mortgage servicing rights. These transactions are accounted for as financings under ASC 470, Debt and included in payables and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
The Company elected to measure the outstanding financings related to the nonrecourse MSR financing liability, at fair value, as permitted under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, with all changes in fair value recorded as a charge or credit to fee income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The fair value on the nonrecourse MSR financing liability is based on the present value of expected future cash flows to be paid to the third parties with the discount rate approximating current market value for similar financial instruments. See Note 30 - Related Parties for additional information regarding the nonrecourse MSR financing liability.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the weighted average outstanding interest rates on outstanding debt of the Company were 3.17% and 3.15%, respectively.
The Companys borrowing arrangements and credit facilities contain various financial covenants which primarily relate to required tangible net worth amounts, liquidity reserves, leverage requirements, and profitability requirements. As a result of market disruptions and fair value accounting adjustments taken in March 2020 resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, FACo was in violation of its first, second, and third quarter 2020 profitability covenants with two of its warehouse lenders. The Company received waivers of these covenants violations from both lenders as well as amendments to profitability covenants for the remaining quarters of 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.
The terms of the Companys financing arrangements and credit facilities contain covenants, and the terms of the Companys GSE/seller servicer contracts contain requirements that may restrict the Company and its subsidiaries

from paying distributions to its members. These restrictions include restrictions on paying distributions, whenever the payment of such distributions would cause FoA to no longer be in compliance with any of its financial covenants or GSE requirements. Further, the Company is generally prohibited under Delaware law from making a distribution to a member to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, liabilities of the Company (with certain exceptions) exceed the fair value of its assets. Subsidiaries of the Company are generally subject to similar legal limitations on their ability to make distributions to FoA.
As of March 31, 2021, the maximum allowable distributions available to the Company based on the most restrictive of such financial covenant ratios is presented in the table below (in thousands, except for ratios):

20. | Notes Payable, Net |
Senior Unsecured Notes
In November 2020, FOAF issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the Notes). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 beginning on May 15, 2021. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by FoA and each of FoAs material existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, excluding FOAF and subsidiaries.
At any time prior to November 15, 2022, FOAF may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the applicable premium as of the redemption date under the terms of the indenture and accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption price during each of the twelve-month periods following November 15, 2022, November 15, 2023 and at any time after November 15, 2024 is 103.938%, 101.969% and 100.000%, respectively, of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. At any time prior to November 15, 2022, FOAF may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price equal to 107.875% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior unsecured notes redeemed, with an amount equal to or less than the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the holders of the Notes will have the right to require FOAF to make an offer to repurchase each holders Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Notes contain covenants limiting, among other things, FOAF and its restricted subsidiaries ability to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares, incur liens, make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and merge or consolidate or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of FOAFs assets. These incurrence based covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications. Many of these covenants will cease to apply during any time that the Notes have investment grade ratings and no default has occurred and continuing. The Company was in compliance with all required covenants related to the Notes as of March 31, 2021.
Financing Agreements
As a part of the Companys acquisitions of certain subsidiaries, the Company entered into various note agreements with the sellers. In addition, in 2017, the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase of computer hardware and equipment which was financed by notes payable to the seller with monthly payments through January 2021.

The interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $7.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
21. | Leases |
The Companys lease portfolio is comprised primarily of real estate and equipment agreements. Operating leases in which the Company is the lessee are recorded as operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, included in other assets, net, and payables and other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company does not currently have any finance leases in which it is the lessee. Operating lease ROU assets represent the Companys right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Companys obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
For operating leases, the lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents the Companys incremental borrowing rate at the lease
48

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
commencement date. As most of the Companys leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. This incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment and given similar credit risk. The lease term for all of the Companys leases includes the noncancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease. The Company includes these options in the lease term when it is reasonably certain of exercising them.
ROU assets are further adjusted for lease incentives. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company recognizes variable lease payments associated with the Companys leases when the variability is resolved. Variable lease payments are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income along with expenses arising from fixed lease payments.

22. | Litigation |
The Companys business is subject to legal proceedings, examinations, investigations and reviews by various federal, state and local regulatory and enforcement agencies as well as private litigants such as the Companys borrowers or former employees. At any point in time, the Company may have open investigations with regulators or enforcement agencies, including examinations and inquiries related to its loan servicing and origination practices. These matters and other pending or potential future investigations, examinations, inquiries or lawsuits may lead to administrative or legal proceedings, and possibly result in remedies, including fines, penalties, restitution, or alterations in business practices, and in additional expenses and collateral costs.
As a litigation or regulatory matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. If, at the time of evaluation, the loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments that would make such loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. Once the matter is deemed to be both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount to litigation related expense. The Company will continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established. Legal expenses, which includes, among other things, settlements and the fees paid to external legal service providers, of $4.2 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were included in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
For certain matters, the Company may consider a loss to be probable or reasonably possible but cannot provide a precise estimate of losses. For these matters, the Company may be able to estimate a range of possible loss. In determining whether it is possible to provide an estimate of loss or range of possible loss, the Company reviews and evaluates its material litigation and regulatory matters on an ongoing basis, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter. As of March 31, 2021, there were no matters that the Company considered to be probable or reasonably possible for which they could provide a reasonable range of estimated losses.

23. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Servicing of Mortgage Loans
Sub-Servicing
The Company has contracted with third-party providers to perform specified servicing functions on its behalf. These services include maintaining borrower contact, facilitating borrower advances, generating borrower statements, and facilitating loss-mitigation strategies in an attempt to keep defaulted borrowers in their homes. Defaults on reverse mortgages leading to foreclosures may occur if borrowers fail to meet maintenance obligations, such as payment of taxes or home insurance premiums. When a default cannot be cured, the sub-servicers manage the foreclosure process and the filing of any insurance claims with HUD. The sub-servicers have responsibility for remitting timely advances and statements to borrowers and timely and accurate claims to HUD, including compliance with local, state and federal regulatory requirements.
Additionally, the sub-servicers are also responsible for remitting payments to investors, including interest accrued and interest shortfalls and funding advances such as taxes and home insurance premiums. Advances are typically remitted by the Company to the sub-servicers on a daily basis. Although the Company has outsourced its servicing function, as the issuer the Company has responsibility for all aspects of servicing of the HECM loans and related HMBS beneficial interests under the terms of the servicing contracts, state laws and regulations.
Contractual sub-servicing fees related to sub-servicer arrangements are generally based on a fixed dollar amount per loan and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The Company is required to fund further borrower advances (where the borrower has not fully drawn down the HECM or fix & flip loan proceeds available to them), and to additionally fund the payment of the borrowers obligation to pay the FHA their monthly insurance premium.
The outstanding unfunded commitments available to borrowers related to HECM loans were approximately $2.3 billion as of March 31, 2021. The outstanding unfunded commitments available to borrowers related to fix & flip loans were approximately $13.8 million as of March 31, 2021. This additional borrowing capacity is primarily in the form of undrawn lines of credit.
The Company also has commitments to purchase and sell loans totaling $21.6 million and $111.7 million, respectively, at March 31, 2021.
Mandatory Repurchase Obligation
The Company is required to repurchase reverse loans out of the GNMA securitization pools once the outstanding principal balance of the related HECM is equal to or greater than 98% of the MCA. Performing repurchased loans are conveyed to HUD and nonperforming repurchased loans are generally liquidated in accordance with program requirements. Loans are considered nonperforming upon events such as, but not limited to, the death of the mortgagor, the mortgagor no longer occupying the property as their principal residence, or the property taxes or insurance not being paid.
As an issuer of HMBS, the Company also has the option to repurchase reverse loans out of the GNMA securitization pools without GNMA prior approval in certain instances. These situations include the borrower requesting an additional advance that causes the outstanding principal balance to be equal or greater than 98% of the MCA; the borrowers loan becoming due and payable under certain circumstances; the borrower not occupying the home for greater than twelve consecutive months for physical or mental illness and the home is not the residence of another borrower; or the borrower failing to perform in accordance with the terms of the loan.
For each HECM loan that the Company securitizes into Agency HMBS, the Company is required to covenant and warrant to GNMA, among other things, that the HECM loans related to each participation included in the Agency HMBS are eligible under the requirements of the National Housing Act and the GNMA Mortgage-backed Securities Guide, and that the Company will take all actions necessary to ensure the HECM loans continued eligibility. The GNMA HMBS program requires that the Company removes the participation related to any HECM loan that does not meet the requirements of the GNMA Mortgage-backed Securities Guide. In addition to securitizing HECM loans into Agency HMBS, the Company may sell HECM loans to third parties and the agreements with such third parties include standard representations and warranties related to such loans, which if breached, may require the Company
51
Finance of America Equity Capital LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
to repurchase the HECM loan and/or indemnify the purchaser for losses related to such HECM loans. In the case where the Company repurchases the loan, the Company bears any subsequent credit loss on the loan. To the extent that the Company is required to remove a loan from an Agency HMBS, purchase a loan from a third party or indemnify a third party, the potential losses suffered by the Company may be reduced by any recourse the Company has to the originating broker and/or correspondent lender, if applicable, to the extent such entity breached similar or other representations and warranties. Under most circumstances, the Company has the right to require the originating broker/correspondent to repurchase the related loan from the Company and/or indemnify the Company for losses incurred. The Company seeks to manage the risk of repurchase and associated credit exposure through the Companys underwriting and quality assurance practices.
IRLCs
The Company enters into IRLCs with prospective borrowers whereby the Company commits to lend a certain loan amount under specific terms and interest rates to the borrower. The Company also enters into LPCs with prospective sellers. These loan commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value. See Note 12 - Derivative and Risk Management Activities for more information.
Leases
See Note 21 - Leases for a listing of the Companys current lease obligations under ASC 842 and Note 22 -Litigation for information regarding current litigation matters.
24. | Long-Term Incentive Plan |
On January 1, 2015, the Company established a long-term incentive plan (the Plan) to compensate key employees. Any distributions are based on distributions received by equity holders of the Company in excess of the contributed equity capital, plus a designated return on contributed equity capital (the Hurdle).
The phantom units are accounted for as a profit-sharing arrangement under ASC Topic 710, Compensation General (ASC 710) as they do not represent a substantive form of equity and are not indexed to the price of UFG common units. A total of 1,250 Phantom Units were approved under the Plan, with 1,077 units issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2021.
In connection with the closing of the Proposed Business Combination further described in Note 32 - Subsequent Events, which occurred on April 1, 2021, the holders of Phantom Units will receive a one-time lump sum cash payment of $24.0 million as it relates to the anticipated achievement of the Hurdle being met under the original terms of the Plan. The balance of the Companys obligation under the Plan will be replaced by the issuance of replacement restricted stock units as governed by the Amended and Restated Management Long-Term Incentive Plan. See Note 32 Subsequent Events.
The cash payment of $24.0 million relates to prior services provided solely for the benefit of the Company and not for ongoing services to be provided in the future that would benefit the post-combination entity. Given that the payment was triggered by the distributions made in connection with the successful closing of the Business Combination, the payment of $24.0 million is considered to have been incurred on the line.
25. | Changes in Contingently Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest |
The Company has determined that the Class B interests of FACo Holdings issued to Buy to Rent Platform Holdings, L.P. (B2R) meet the definition of CRNCI. Under the FACo Holdings Agreement, the Class B Units may be redeemed upon sale of FACo by FACo Holdings, sale of FAH, or sale of UFG Holdings LLC, which would require FAH to purchase the outstanding Class B Units. The Company has determined that the legal provisions in the FACo Holdings Agreement in which there is a noncontrolling interest represent a substantive profit-sharing arrangement, where the allocation to the members differs from the stated ownership percentages. The Company utilizes the hypothetical liquidation at book value, or HLBV, method for the allocation of profits and losses each period. Under the HLBV method, the amounts of income and loss attributed to the noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income reflects changes in the amounts each member would hypothetically receive at each Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition date under the liquidation provisions of the FACo Holdings Agreement, assuming the net assets of the FACo Holdings were liquidated at their respective recorded amounts. Allocations of profits and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and
52
Finance of America Equity Capital LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Comprehensive Income is determined based on the hypothetical amounts that would be distributed to members after taking into account any capital transactions between FACo Holdings and its members as follows:
| Distributions up to Hurdle Amount of $202.0 million (subject to certain adjustments defined in the FACo Holdings Agreement) - 100% to Class B Members; |
| Distributions of the next $150.0 million - 95% to Class A Members and 5% to Class B Members, and; |
| Thereafter - 75% to Class A Members and 25% to Class B Members. |
In connection with the closing of the Business Combination disclosed in Note 1, FoA will cause Finance of America Holdings LLC to exercise its right under the FACo Holdings Agreement to purchase all of the outstanding Class B Units held by B2R for a redemption price of $203.2 million in satisfaction of the applicable Hurdle Amount under the FACo Holdings Agreement. As of March 31, 2021, the carrying value of the CRNCI has been accreted to the agreed upon redemption price. See Note 32 - Subsequent Events within the notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements for the implications of the Business Combination on CRNCI.

53
Finance of America Equity Capital LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Mortgage Originations
The Mortgage Originations segment originates mortgage loans through FAM. This segment generates revenue through fee-based mortgage loan origination services and the origination and sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market. The Mortgage Originations segment includes three channels: distributed retail lending, direct-to-consumer lending, and third-party-originator lending.
Reverse Originations
The Reverse Originations segment originates or acquires reverse mortgage loans through FAR. This segment originates HECMs which are insured by the FHA, and proprietary jumbo reverse mortgages. The segment originates reverse mortgage loans through the following channels: retail and third-party-originator. Reverse mortgage lending activities primarily consist of the origination and securitization of mortgage loans to GNMA and other private investors.
Commercial Originations
The Commercial Originations segment originates or acquires commercial mortgage loans through FACo. The segment provides business purpose lending solutions for residential real estate investors in two principal ways: short-term loans to provide rehab and construction of investment properties meant to be sold upon completion, and investor rental loans collateralized by either a single asset or portfolio of properties. The segment originates commercial mortgage loans through the following channels: retail and third-party-originator. Commercial mortgage lending activities primarily consist of the origination and securitization of commercial mortgages to private investors.
Portfolio Management
The Portfolio Management segment provides product development, loan securitization, loan sales, risk management, asset management and servicing oversight services to the enterprise and third-party funds.
Lender Services
The Lender Services segment provides ancillary business services, title agency and title insurance services, MSR valuation and trade brokerage, and appraisal management services to customers in the residential mortgage, student lending, and commercial lending industries. The segment also operates a foreign branch in the Philippines for fulfillment transactional and administrative support.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and other consists of the Business Excellence Office (BXO) and other corporate services groups The Companys segments are based upon the Companys organizational structure which focuses primarily on the services offered. Corporate functional expenses are allocated to individual segments based on actual cost of services performed based on a direct resource utilization, estimate of percentage use for shared services or headcount percentage for certain functions. Non-allocated corporate expenses include administrative costs of executive management and other corporate functions that are not directly attributable to the Companys operating segments. Revenues generated on inter-segment services performed are valued based on similar services provided to external parties. To reconcile the Companys consolidated results, certain inter-segment revenues and expenses are eliminated in the Eliminations column in the following tables.

28. | Liquidity and Capital Requirements |
FAM
In addition to the covenant requirements of FAM mentioned in Note 18 - Other Financing Lines of Credit, FAM is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by HUD as a result of their mortgage origination and servicing activities. HUD governs non-supervised, direct endorsement mortgagees, and GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC, which sponsor programs that govern a significant portion of FAMs mortgage loans sold and servicing activities. Additionally, FAM is required to maintain minimum net worth requirements for many of the states in which it sells and services loans. Each state has its own minimum net worth requirement; however, none of the state requirements are material to the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary remedial actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could: (i) remove FAMs ability to sell and service loans to or on behalf of the Agencies; and (ii) have a direct material effect on FAMs financial statements, results of operations and cash flows.
55
Finance of America Equity Capital LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
In accordance with the regulatory capital guidelines, FAM must meet specific quantitative measures of cash, assets, liabilities, profitability and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Further, changes in regulatory and accounting standards, as well as the impact of future events on FAMs results, may significantly affect the FAMs net worth adequacy.
Among FAMs various capital requirements related to its outstanding mortgage origination and servicing agreements, the most restrictive of these requires FAM to maintain a minimum adjusted net worth balance of $163.2 million as of March 31, 2021. FAMs adjusted net worth was $402.1 million as of March 31, 2021. The Company was therefore in compliance with all net worth requirements.
In addition, FAM is required to maintain both fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance coverage at tiered levels based on the aggregate UPB of the loans serviced by FAM throughout the year. FAM is required to conduct compliance testing at least quarterly to ensure compliance with the foregoing requirements. As of March 31, 2021, FAM was in compliance with applicable requirements.
FAR
As an issuer of HMBS, FAR is required by GNMA to maintain minimum net worth, liquidity and capitalization levels as well as minimum insurance levels.
The net worth required is $5.0 million plus 1% of FARs commitment authority from GNMA. The liquidity requirement is for 20% of FARs required net worth be in the form of cash or cash equivalent assets. FAR is required to maintain a ratio of 6% of net worth to total assets.
In addition, FAR is required to maintain both fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance coverage at tiered levels based on the aggregate UPB of the loans serviced by FAR throughout the year. FAR is required to conduct compliance testing at least quarterly to ensure compliance with the foregoing requirements. As of March 31, 2021, FAR was in compliance with applicable requirements.
At March 31, 2021, FAR was in compliance with the minimum net worth, liquidity and insurance requirements of GNMA and had received a permanent waiver for its capital requirement. The minimum tangible net worth required of FAR by GNMA at March 31, 2021 was $98.3 million. FARs actual net worth calculated based on GNMA guidance at March 31, 2021 was $393.1 million.
Incenter
Incenter Securities Group LLC (ISG), one of the operating subsidiaries of Incenter, operates in a highly regulated environment and is subject to federal and state laws, SEC rules and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules and guidance. Applicable laws and regulations, among other things, restrict permissible activities and require compliance with a wide range of financial and customer-related protections. The consequences of noncompliance can include substantial monetary and nonmonetary sanctions. In addition, ISG is subject to comprehensive examination by its regulators. These regulators have broad discretion to impose restrictions and limitations on the operations of the Company and to impose sanctions for noncompliance. ISG is subject to the SECs Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-1) (the Rule), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. ISG computes net capital under the alternative method. Under this method, the required minimum net capital is equal to $0.3 million. At March 31, 2021, ISG had met the minimum net capital requirement amounts.
Additionally, ISG claims the exemption provision of SEC Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(ii). ISG does not hold customer funds or safekeep customer securities. The Company introduces and clears its customers transactions through a third-party on a fully-disclosed basis.
Agents National Title Insurance Company, an operating subsidiary of Incenter, has additional capital requirements. The State of Missouri and State of Alabama require domestic title insurance underwriters maintain minimum capital and surplus of $1.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Failure to comply with these provision may result in various actions up to and including surrender of the certificate of authority. Additionally, in October 2019, Agents entered into a capital maintenance agreement in conjunction with the approval for the certificate of authority for California. This agreement requires Agents to maintain a minimum of $8.0 million in policyholder surplus. If Agents falls below this requirement in any given quarter, Incenter must contribute cash, cash equivalents securities or other instruments to bring Agents to compliance. The Companys insurance company subsidiaries met the existing minimum statutory capital and surplus requirements as of March 31, 2021.
56
Finance of America Equity Capital LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company is also required to maintain bonds, certificates of deposit and interest bearing accounts in accordance with applicable state regulatory requirements. The total requirement was $3.8 million across all states as of March 31, 2021. The Company was in compliance with these requirements as of March 31, 2021.
29. | Concentrations of Risk |
The Companys activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the ability of management to adequately develop its service lines, acquire adequate customer and revenue bases, and overall market demand for its services. In addition, the Company engages in various trading and brokerage activities in which counterparties primarily include broker-dealers, banks and other financial institutions. In the event counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. It is the Companys policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty.
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents, derivatives, loans held for sale, and loans held for investment.
The Company invests its excess cash balances that may exceed federal insured limits with financial institutions evaluated as being creditworthy, primarily in money market accounts which are exposed to minimal interest rate and credit risk. The balances of these accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, subject to certain limitations.
Credit risk is reduced by the Companys underwriting standards, monitoring pledged collateral and other in-house monitoring procedures performed by management. The Companys credit exposure for amounts due from investors and derivative related receivables is minimized since its policy is to sell mortgages only to highly reputable and financially sound financial institutions.
Mortgage loans are sold or financed through one of the following methods: (i) sales or financing securitizations to or pursuant to programs sponsored by FNMA, FHLMC, and GNMA, or (ii) sales or financing securitizations issued to private investors. The Company sold $7,696.6 million and $3,576.3 million in mortgage loans to FNMA, FHLMC and GNMA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company sold to or securitized with private investors $1,724.3 million and $1,500.8 million in mortgage loans for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the sales or financing securitizations issued to private investors consisted of 33.1% nonperforming repurchased loans and 66.9% other. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the sales or financing securitizations issued to private investors consisted of 13.3% non-agency reverse mortgage loans, 24.8% nonperforming repurchased loans, 11.4% third-party financial institutions, and 50.5% other.
Through FoAs parent, the Company is owned by Libman Family Holdings, LLC, certain investment funds affiliated with Blackstone and other co-investors. In the ordinary course of conducting business, a portion of these mortgage loans sold or financed relate to certain commercial transactions that the Company enters into with a counterparty that is a non-affiliated company separately owned by certain other investment funds affiliated with Blackstone. The nature of its business interactions with this counterparty may allow the Company to negotiate preferential terms of commercial transactions that may not be available for other parties on an arms-length basis. These commercial transactions include the transfer of certain residential mortgage loans, in which the Company may receive an ongoing service fee. The Company sold $84.6 million and $98.7 million in mortgage loans to non-affiliated Blackstone portfolio companies for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, the Company is also contracted by certain non-affiliated Blackstone portfolio companies to provide sub-advisor services in areas such as asset management and administrative oversight, in which the Company receives an advisory fee. The Company has recognized gains on the sale of mortgages related to transactions with non-affiliated Blackstone portfolio companies of $4.0 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
In May 2020, the Company entered into an uncommitted Master Repurchase Agreement with a non-affiliated company, separately owned by other investment funds affiliated with Blackstone, with no stated maturity with a financial institution, under which the Company may enter into transactions, for an aggregate amount of $18.6 million, in which the Company agrees to transfer to the non-affiliated company certain mortgage-backed securities against the transfer of funds by the non-affiliated company, with a simultaneous agreement by the non-affiliated company to transfer such mortgage-backed securities to the Company at a certain date, or on demand, against the transfer of funds by the Company. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings.
57
Finance of America Equity Capital LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
In July 2017, the Company entered into a $45.0 million mezzanine financing agreement with a non-affiliated company, separately owned by other investment funds affiliated with Blackstone, secured by a junior lien in mortgage assets pledged to certain senior secured warehouse facilities. This facility was structured as a loan and security agreement. The funds advanced are generally repaid using collections from the underlying assets to the extent remaining after the payment of any senior debt or the proceeds from the sale or securitization of the underlying assets or distribution from underlying securities, although prior payment may be required based on, among other things, certain breaches of representations and warranties or other events of default. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $25.0 million and $21.5 million, respectively.
Residential Mortgages
The mortgaged properties securing the residential loans that we service are geographically dispersed throughout the United States. Certain states may experience future weakened economic conditions or greater rates of decline in real estate values than the United States in general. In addition, certain states may change their licensing or other regulatory requirement to make servicing loans in these states cost-prohibitive.
The table below provides the percentage of residential mortgage loans serviced by the location in which the home securing the loan is located and is based on the outstanding UPB. Other consists of loans in states in which concentration individually represents less than 5% of total remaining UPB.

Reverse Mortgages
FAR originates, buys and sells HECMs, commonly referred to as reverse mortgages, and securitizes and sells the HECMs as HMBS. FAR is subject to approval of, and is heavily regulated by, federal and state regulatory agencies as a mortgage lender, GNMA issuer, broker and servicer.
The secondary market for the FHA insured HECM loans is not assured; to the extent the program requires Congressional appropriations in future years, which are not forthcoming, the program could be jeopardized; and/or, consumer demand could be reduced if FHA actions result in a reduction of initial principal limit available to borrowers.
FAR depends on its ability to securitize reverse mortgages, subsequent draws, mortgage insurance premiums and servicing fees, and would be adversely affected if the ability to access the secondary market were to be limited.
Concentrations of credit risk associated with reverse mortgage loans are limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many geographic areas. The table below provides the percentage of reverse loans in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition by the location in which the home securing the loan is located and is based on their remaining UPBs. Other consists of loans in states in which concentration individually represents less than 5% of total remaining UPB.

Puerto Ricos economy has been in a serious recession since the second quarter of 2006, and its economic downturn has been generally much worse than that of the United States. Further, Hurricane Maria in 2017 has further stressed the economy and infrastructure in Puerto Rico, resulting in extensive loss of water supplies and electricity.
Regulatory agencies require all properties in affected areas to be inspected for acceptable condition prior to any transaction occurring with or on behalf of the GSEs or HUD (including foreclosure sale, property conveyance, sale/ funding/transfers of originated loans to third parties, etc.). This required inspection may cause delays in foreclosures and settlement of claims. Additionally, in certain circumstances when there are uninsured losses, the Company may be responsible for repairs to the properties if not done by the homeowner.
In its determination of fair value amounts for loans that are in disaster impacted areas, the Company has provided for increased expectations of loss severities due to delays in processing claims and uninsured losses. These estimates are based on managements best estimates of anticipated losses. Actual results may differ from the estimates due to external factors.

However, management of the Company believes disclosure of the following events is appropriate.
Business Combination
On April 1, 2021, the Company was acquired in the Business Combination pursuant to the Transaction Agreement described in Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business. The Business Combination will be accounted for using the acquisition method with New Pubco as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, New Pubcos assets and liabilities will be recorded at carrying value and the assets and liabilities associated with the Company will be recorded at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, if applicable, will be recognized as goodwill. For accounting purposes, the acquirer is the entity that has obtained control of another entity and, thus, consummated a business combination. The determination of whether control has been obtained begins with the evaluation of whether control should be evaluated based on the variable interest or voting interest model pursuant to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (ASC 810). If the acquiree is a variable interest entity, the primary beneficiary would be the accounting acquirer. The Company meets the definition of a variable interest entity and New Pubco was determined to be the primary beneficiary. Therefore, New Pubco will be the accounting acquirer.
In connection with the Business Combination, the New Pubco also entered into Tax Receivable Agreements (TRAs) that provide for the payment by the New Pubco to certain owners of FoA prior to the Business Combination of 85% of the cash tax benefits, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize based on certain attributes as defined in the TRAs.
In conjunction with the Business Combination, UFG adopted the Amended and Restated UFG Holdings LLC Management Long-Term Incentive Plan (the A&R MLTIP), effective as of the date the Business Combination was executed, contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing. Under the terms of the A&R MLTIP, it is expected that participants (including each of our named executive officers) will be entitled to receive (i) a cash payment promptly following the Closing (see Note 24), (ii) a grant of restricted stock units under the Incentive Plan and (iii) the right to receive additional shares of Class A Common Stock upon the occurrence of specified earnout conditions. The Replacement RSUs will be effectively vested on the Closing Date. The Replacement RSUs will be 25% vested on the RSU Closing Date and the remaining 75% will vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the Closing Date, subject to continued employment. The Replacement RSUs are not subject to any other conditions which affect their vesting. The first 25% of Replacement RSUs will not be delivered to the participants until 180 days after Closing.
