NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the period ended June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Financial Statement Presentation

Description of Operations – Novation Companies, Inc. (the “Company” or "Novation" or "we” or “us”) owns 100% of Corvisa LLC ("Corvisa"). Corvisa sells cloud-based communication software under the CorvisaOne® brand, telecommunications services, and implementation consulting services for its own customers as well as customers of a leading customer relationship management (CRM) software provider. This business was formerly known as CorvisaCloud, LLC, but was rebranded to Corvisa during the first quarter of 2015.

On April 16, 2014 we announced a significant strategic shift for Novation with the decision to focus our resources primarily on the business of Corvisa. This decision was based largely on the Company's belief that Corvisa represents a better opportunity for Novation to build long-term shareholder value due to Corvisa's CorvisaOne technology platform and the size of its target customer base.

On April 16, 2014, the Company and the non-controlling members of StreetLinks, a national residential appraisal and mortgage real estate valuation management services company, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Assurant Services, LLC, a subsidiary of Assurant, Inc. ("Assurant"), pursuant to which Assurant purchased 100% of the outstanding membership units of StreetLinks. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding this transaction. The operations of StreetLinks have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

On August 18, 2014, the Company sold certain intellectual property, software, and customer data of its other operating subsidiary, Advent Financial Services LLC (“Advent”), to Santa Barbara Tax Products Group, LLC, and announced that it would be conducting an orderly winding-down of the remaining business and operations of Advent; a financial settlement services provider for professional tax preparers nationwide. As discussed in Note 3, the operations of Advent have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Prior to 2008, the Company originated, purchased, securitized, sold, invested in and serviced residential nonconforming mortgage loans and mortgage securities. As a result of those activities, the Company acquired mortgage securities that continue to be a source of its earnings and cash flow. See Note 4 and Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding these securities and the valuation thereof. Also as a result of those activities, the Company may, from time to time, receive indemnification and loan repurchase demands related to past sales of loans to securitization trusts and other third parties. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding these demands.

Financial Statement Presentation – The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the period. The Company uses estimates and judgments in establishing the fair value of its mortgage securities and accounting for income taxes, including the determination of the timing of the establishment or release of the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset balances and reserves for uncertain tax positions. While the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes reflect the best estimates and judgments of management at the time, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments have been made, which were of a normal and recurring nature, for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Comparability. As noted in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, during the fourth quarter of 2014 the Company elected to update the presentation of its consolidated statement of operations to be more consistent with industry practice and allow for enhanced comparability between Corvisa and its peers. This update involved moving from the Company's historical presentation of only two categories of operating expenses to the revised presentation, which presents four categories of operation expenses: Cost of services, Development, Sales and marketing, and General and

Table of Contents

administrative. As a result, operating results for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014 have been reclassified to conform to the revised presentation.

Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance on a customer’s accounting for cloud computing costs. Under the ASU, a customer must determine whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license. If so, the customer would account for the fees related to the software license element in a manner consistent with how the acquisition of other software licenses is accounted for under ASC 350-40. If the arrangement does not contain a software license, the customer would account for the arrangement as a service contract. The ASU is effective for annual periods (and interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may adopt the guidance (1) retrospectively or (2) prospectively to arrangements entered into, or materially modified, after the effective date. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-1, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items, which eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of an extraordinary item, which is an event or transaction that is both (1) unusual in nature and (2) infrequently occurring. Under this ASU, an entity will no longer (1) segregate an extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations; (2) separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations; or (3) disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods. Entities may apply the guidance prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted if the guidance is applied as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. This new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements. Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.” This ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This ASU applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Compared with current U.S. GAAP, this ASU also requires significantly expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. On July 9th, 2015 the FASB voted to defer the effective date of this ASU by one year. Early adoption is permitted. However, entities are not allowed to adopt this ASU before the original effective date (that is, annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016). The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of this standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends the definition of a discontinued operation in ASC 205-20 and requires entities to provide additional disclosures about discontinued operations as well as disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued-operations criteria. The FASB issued this ASU to provide more decision-useful information and to make it more difficult for a disposal transaction to qualify as a discontinued operation. This ASU is effective prospectively for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

Note 3. Divestitures

Advent Financial Services, LLC (Financial Intermediary Segment)

On August 18, 2014, Advent sold certain intellectual property, software, and customer data to Santa Barbara Tax Products Group, LLC, for cash consideration of $1.0 million paid at closing. The transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $0.8

Table of Contents

million during 2014. Due to the timing of the transaction, no portion of this gain is reflected in net income from discontinued operations during the six and three months ended June 30, 2014.

Also on August 18, 2014, the Company announced that it was conducting an orderly winding-down of Advent’s remaining business and operations. As the run-off operations are substantially complete, and as the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in Advent, the operations of Advent have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

StreetLinks, LLC (Appraisal Management Segment)

Prior to 2013, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Unit Purchase Agreement") with its Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Steve Haslam, pursuant to which Mr. Haslam sold 1,927 units in StreetLinks to the Company in exchange for a total purchase price of $6.1 million, payable in quarterly installments. At the time of the original transaction, Mr. Haslam's units represented approximately 5% of the outstanding StreetLinks membership units. On April 16, 2014, the Company and Mr. Haslam agreed to terminate the Unit Purchase Agreement. In full satisfaction of the Company's outstanding obligations under the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred back to Mr. Haslam 1,218 StreetLinks membership units (approximately 3% of StreetLinks), which represents the portion of the membership units attributable to the $3.9 million in unpaid installment payments and $0.2 million in interest remaining under the Unit Purchase Agreement. The termination of the Unit Purchase Agreement and simultaneous transfer of 1,218 StreetLinks membership units to Mr. Haslam reduced the Company's ownership interest to approximately 88% as of April 16, 2014.

On April 16, 2014, the Company and non-controlling members of StreetLinks (the "Sellers") entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Assurant, pursuant to which Assurant purchased 100% of the outstanding membership units of StreetLinks in exchange for $60.0 million paid in cash at closing and up to $12.0 million in post-closing consideration contingent upon the total revenue of StreetLinks in fiscal years 2015 and 2016. The Company received approximately $53.9 million in cash proceeds at closing, of which $1.0 million was used to make certain earned bonus payments to three StreetLinks executives. Subsequent to closing, the Company received an additional $0.8 million relating to adjustments for working capital. The transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $48.2 million during the second quarter of 2014. The Company also incurred approximately $1.8 million of transaction-related expenses during second quarter of 2014, such as legal and consulting fees.

The post-closing consideration provides for payment if (a) the total revenue of StreetLinks is $184 million or more for calendar year 2015, Assurant shall pay to the Sellers an aggregate of $12.0 million; but if not, then (b) if the total revenue of StreetLinks is greater than $167.5 million for the calendar year 2016, Assurant shall pay to Sellers up to an aggregate of $12.0 million, based on a linear scale where full payment of the $12.0 million would occur at total revenue of $184 million. The post-closing consideration will be reduced for certain earned bonus payments to three StreetLinks executives of $2.0 million if the maximum post-closing consideration is earned and otherwise prorated based on the same linear scale. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive any post-closing consideration. Assurant has agreed to act in good faith in conducting the business of StreetLinks and to keep separate records, but generally the Company does not control how Assurant may operate the business of StreetLinks. In accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, the post-closing consideration will be treated as a gain contingency. As such, no post-closing consideration will be recognized in earnings until the contingency is resolved.

In connection with the sale, the Company and Assurant also entered into a transition services agreement, pursuant to which the Company will provide ongoing information technology, human resources management and accounting services to StreetLinks for a period of up to eighteen months. The cash flows related to these services are not significant to StreetLinks. The Company will have no significant continuing involvement with StreetLinks beyond the transition services. As the agreed-upon professional services were substantially complete as of December 31, 2014, professional service fees earned under the transition services agreement for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015 were not material. Professional service fees earned by the Company under the transition services agreement for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014 are included in the service fee income – transition services line on the consolidated statement of operations, while the related costs are included in cost of services – transition services.

The Company has also executed a Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Disclosure Agreement with StreetLinks providing that Novation will be prohibited from competing in the real estate appraisal management or valuation services business for a period of four years.

Results of Discontinued Operations

For the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, net income from discontinued operations consists of the net operating income and losses of the disposed entities and any necessary eliminations and income tax expense. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2015 the net loss from discontinued operations consists primarily of settlements of miscellaneous Advent liabilities.

Table of Contents

The results of the Company's discontinued operations are summarized below (dollars in thousands):

(Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes	$	(18	)	$	41,665	$	(18	)	$	38,526

The assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 relate entirely to Advent. As of June 30, 2015, the current liabilities of discontinued operations were comprised primarily of unclaimed funds and fees withheld from Advent's business partners for various violations of Advent's compliance program. Unclaimed funds will be escheated to the applicable state in accordance with unclaimed property laws. Obligations relating to fees withheld from business partners will be resolved when claims are received or when the statute of limitations for the related contractual obligation expires.

Noncurrent liabilities of discontinued operations consist entirely of fees withheld from business partners for various violations of Advent's compliance program. The classification of these fees held as current versus noncurrent is dependent on the nature of the compliance violation and the tax year during which the violation occurred.

The major classes of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are detailed below (dollars in thousands).

Prior to 2008, the Company originated, purchased, securitized, sold, invested in and serviced residential nonconforming mortgage loans and mortgage securities. As a result of those activities, the Company acquired mortgage securities that continue to be a source of its earnings and cash flow. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, these mortgage securities consisted entirely of the Company's investment in the residual securities issued by securitization trusts sponsored by the Company. Residual securities consist of interest-only, prepayment penalty and overcollateralization bonds.

There were no other-than-temporary impairments relating to available-for-sale securities for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The average remaining maturities of the Company’s short-term and long-term available-for-sale investments at June 30, 2015 were approximately five months and eighteen months, respectively. Maturities of mortgage securities owned by the Company depend on repayment characteristics and experience of the underlying financial instruments. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details on the Company's fair value methodology.

Table of Contents

The following table relates to the securitizations where the Company retained an interest in the assets issued by the securitization trust (dollars in thousands):



	Size/Principal Outstanding (A)		Assets on Balance Sheet (B)		Liabilities on Balance Sheet		Maximum Exposure to Loss(C)		Year to Date Loss on Sale		Year to Date Cash Flows (D)

(A)	Size/Principal Outstanding reflects the estimated principal of the underlying assets held by the securitization trust.


(B)	Assets on balance sheet are securities issued by the entity and are recorded in the current marketable securities line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.


(C)	The maximum exposure to loss includes the assets held by the Company. The maximum exposure to loss assumes a total loss on the referenced assets held by the securitization trust.


(D)	Year to date cash flows are for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Note 5. Property and Equipment, Net

All of the Company's property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of the Company's property and equipment are the lesser of 5 years or remaining lease term for leasehold improvements, 5 years for furniture and fixtures, 3 to 5 years for office and computer equipment, and 1 to 3 years for software.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on dispositions are credited or charged to earnings as incurred. Depreciation and amortization expense relating to property and equipment was $1.1 million and $0.6 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $0.7 million and $0.4 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

The following table shows the Company's property and equipment, net as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):



	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Software	$	5,786		$	4,384
Hardware and computer equipment	4,661			3,388
Leasehold improvements	905			905
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment	753			756
Total Cost	12,105			9,433
Less: Accumulated depreciation and amortization	(4,952		)	(3,801		)
Property and equipment, net	$	7,153		$	5,632

The hardware and computer equipment amount above includes gross assets under capital leases of $1.1 million and $0.9 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Accumulated depreciation and amortization of leased assets totaled approximately $0.8 million and $0.6 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Note 6. Borrowings

Senior Notes – The Company has outstanding unsecured senior notes pursuant to three indentures (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) with an aggregate principal balance of $85.9 million. The Senior Notes were created through an exchange of the Company's previously outstanding junior subordinated notes that occurred prior to 2012. This exchange was considered a modification of a debt instrument for accounting purposes, therefore the Company uses the effective interest method to accrete from the existing balance as of the modification date to $87.2 million and $85.9 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Under the effective interest method, significant changes in the rate at which a debt instrument accrues interest over its term can result in a recorded balance in excess of the aggregate principal balance of the debt instrument.

The Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.0% until the earlier of (a) the completion of an equity offering by the Company or its subsidiaries that results in proceeds of $40 million or more or (b) January 1, 2016. Thereafter, the Senior Notes will accrue interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.5% (the “Full Rate”). Interest on the Senior Notes is paid on a quarterly basis and no principal payments are due until maturity on March 30, 2033.

Table of Contents

The indentures governing the Senior Notes (the “Indentures”) contain certain restrictive covenants (the “Negative Covenants”) subject to certain exceptions in the Indentures, including written consent of the holders of the Senior Notes. The Negative Covenants prohibit the Company and its subsidiaries, from among other things, incurring debt, permitting any lien upon any of its property or assets, making any cash dividend or distribution or liquidation payment, acquiring shares of the Company or its subsidiaries, making payment on debt securities of the Company that rank pari passu or junior to the Senior Notes, or disposing of any equity interest in its subsidiaries or all or substantially all of the assets of its subsidiaries. The Negative Covenants remain in effect until both of the following conditions are met: 1) the Senior Notes begin accruing interest at the Full Rate, and 2) the Company satisfies certain financial covenants (the “Financial Covenants”). Satisfaction of the Financial Covenants requires the Company to demonstrate on a consolidated basis that (1) its Tangible Net Worth is equal to or greater than $40 million, and (2) either (a) the Interest Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.35x, or (b) the Leverage Ratio is not greater than 95%. As the Senior Notes were not accruing interest at the Full Rate, the Negative Covenants, as defined above, were still in effect as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Compliance with the Financial Covenants is required only when the Company seeks to take action prohibited by the Negative Covenants that has not been approved by the holders of the Senior Notes.

As discussed in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, on April 16, 2014, the Company and the non-controlling members of StreetLinks entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Assurant, pursuant to which Assurant purchased 100% of the outstanding membership units of StreetLinks. The sale of a subsidiary is not prohibited by the Negative Covenants provided that the sale is at fair market value and the proceeds are reinvested in the Company. As such, the Company was in compliance with all Negative Covenants as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and therefore the Company was under no obligation to comply with the Financial Covenants during these periods.

Note Payable to Related Party – As detailed in Note 3, prior to 2013, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Unit Purchase Agreement") with its Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Steve Haslam, pursuant to which Mr. Haslam sold 1,927 units in StreetLinks to the Company in exchange for a total purchase price of $6.1 million, payable in quarterly installments. On April 16, 2014, the Company and Mr. Haslam agreed to terminate the Unit Purchase Agreement. In full satisfaction of the Company's outstanding obligation under the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred back to Mr. Haslam 1,218 StreetLinks membership units, which represents the portion of the membership units attributable to the $3.9 million in unpaid installment payments and $0.2 million in interest remaining under the Unit Purchase Agreement.

Capital Leases – The Company leases hardware and computer equipment under capital leases. These capital leases are payable in 36 monthly installments and mature between July 2015 and March 2018. Current maturities of obligations under capital leases were approximately $0.3 million as of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, while noncurrent maturities of obligations under capital leases were approximately $0.1 million as of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Due to the immaterial nature of these obligations with regard to the Company's financial statements as a whole, current maturities and noncurrent maturities of capital leases are included in the other current liabilities and other liabilities line items, respectively, in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments – In September 2014, Steve Haslam, who was then Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company announced that, in lieu of accepting a new role with the Company and relocating, he was retiring from the Company effective October 1, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of his Employment Agreement dated March 8, 2012, Mr. Haslam elected to terminate his employment for “Good Reason” in connection with the new position and relocation offered to him. In addition to accrued but unpaid salary and other benefits, Mr. Haslam will be paid $0.4 million severance from the date of termination through October 1, 2015. The full amount of Mr. Haslam's severance was charged to income from continuing operations during the third quarter of 2014 in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance. As of June 30, 2015, the remaining accrual of $0.1 million is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and will be reduced as payments are made to Mr. Haslam.

In conjunction with its minority investment in ManyWho, Inc. ("ManyWho") during the second quarter of 2014, Corvisa entered into an Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") agreement with ManyWho, which provides Corvisa with a non-exclusive license to integrate ManyWho's workflow technology into existing and forthcoming Corvisa service offerings. In exchange for this non-exclusive license, the OEM agreement provided for usage-based license fees as well as certain guaranteed minimum annual royalty and professional services fees. The annual minimum due under the OEM agreement for the twelve month period ended June 20, 2015 was $0.5 million. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had accrued approximately $0.4 million related to this obligation. This accrual is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, while approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million of the corresponding expense is included in cost of services for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Due to the timing of this agreement, the royalty expense for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014 was not material.

Subsequent to June 30, 2015, Corvisa and ManyWho entered into Amendment No. 1 to the OEM Agreement, whereby Corvisa agreed to pay approximately $0.4 million in satisfaction of the minimum royalties payable for the first contract year. The parties also agreed to eliminate the minimum royalty amounts payable in future years. The usage-based license fees set forth in the original OEM were not impacted by the amendment.

Table of Contents

Contingencies – Prior to 2008, the Company originated, purchased, securitized, sold, invested in and serviced residential nonconforming mortgage loans and mortgage securities. The Company has received indemnification and loan repurchase demands with respect to alleged violations of representations and warranties (“defects”) and with respect to other alleged misrepresentations and contractual commitments made in loan sale and securitization agreements. These demands have been received substantially beginning in 2006 and have continued into 2015. Prior to the Company ceasing the origination of loans in its mortgage lending business, it sold loans to securitization trusts and other third parties and agreed to repurchase loans with material defects and to otherwise indemnify parties to these transactions. Beginning in 1997 and ending in 2007, affiliates of the Company sold loans to securitization trusts and third parties with the potential of such obligations. The aggregate original principal balance of these loans was $43.1 billion at the time of sale or securitization. The remaining principal balance of these loans is not available as these loans are serviced by third parties and may have been refinanced, sold or liquidated. Claims to repurchase loans or to indemnify under securitization documents have not been acknowledged as valid by the Company. In some cases, claims were made against affiliates of the Company that have ceased operations and have no or limited assets. The Company has not repurchased any loans or made any such indemnification payments since 2010.

Historically, repurchases of loans or indemnification of losses where a loan defect has been alleged have been insignificant and any future losses for alleged loan defects have not been deemed to be probable or reasonably estimable; therefore, the Company has recorded no reserves related to these claims. The Company does not use internal groupings for purposes of determining the status of these loans. The Company is unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments related to repurchase demands because the Company does not have access to information relating to loans sold and securitized and the number or amount of claims deemed probable of assertion is not known nor is it reasonably estimable. Further, the validity of claims received remains questionable. Also, considering that the Company completed its last sale or securitization of loans during 2007, the Company believes that it will be difficult for a claimant to successfully validate any additional repurchase demands. Management does not expect that the potential impact of claims will be material to the Company's financial statements.

Pending Litigation – The Company is a party to various legal proceedings. Except as set forth below, these proceedings are of an ordinary and routine nature. Any legal fees associated with these proceedings are expensed as incurred.

Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of any legal proceeding, in the opinion of management, other than the active proceedings described in detail below, proceedings and actions against the Company should not, individually, or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, operations or liquidity. Furthermore, due to the uncertainty of any potential loss as a result of pending litigation and due to the Company's belief that an adverse ruling is not probable, the Company has not accrued a loss contingency related to the following matters in its consolidated financial statements. However, a material outcome in one or more of the active proceedings described below could have a material impact on the results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.

On May 21, 2008, a purported class action case was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, by the New Jersey Carpenters' Health Fund, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated. Defendants in the case included NovaStar Mortgage Funding Corporation (“NMFC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and its individual directors, several securitization trusts sponsored by the Company (“affiliated defendants”) and several unaffiliated investment banks and credit rating agencies. The case was removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 16, 2009, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The plaintiff seeks monetary damages, alleging that the defendants violated sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by making allegedly false statements regarding mortgage loans that served as collateral for securities purchased by the plaintiff and the purported class members. On August 31, 2009, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiff's claims, which the court granted on March 31, 2011, with leave to amend. The plaintiff filed a second amended complaint on May 16, 2011, and the Company again filed a motion to dismiss. On March 29, 2012, the court dismissed the plaintiff's second amended complaint with prejudice and without leave to replead. The plaintiff filed an appeal. On March 1, 2013, the appellate court reversed the judgment of the lower court, which had dismissed the case. Also, the appellate court vacated the judgment of the lower court which had held that the plaintiff lacked standing, even as a class representative, to sue on behalf of investors in securities in which plaintiff had not invested, and the appellate court remanded the case back to the lower court for further proceedings. On April 23, 2013 the plaintiff filed its memorandum with the lower court seeking a reconsideration of the earlier dismissal of plaintiff's claims as to five offerings in which plaintiff was not invested, and on February 5, 2015 the lower court granted plaintiff's motion for reconsideration and vacated its earlier dismissal. Given the early stage of the litigation, the Company cannot provide an estimate of the range of any loss. The Company believes that the affiliated defendants have meritorious defenses to the case and expects them to defend the case vigorously.

Table of Contents

June 16, 2014, the United States Supreme Court granted a petition of NMFC and its co-defendants for certiorari, vacated the ruling of the Tenth Circuit, and remanded the case back to that court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in CTS Corp. v. Waldburger, 134 S. Ct. 2175 (2014). On August 19, 2014, the Tenth Circuit reaffirmed its prior decision, and on October 2, 2014 the defendants filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court, which was denied. This litigation is in an early stage, and the Company cannot provide an estimate of the range of any loss. The Company believes that NMFC has meritorious defenses to the case and expects it to defend the case vigorously.

On February 28, 2013 the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as conservator for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) and on behalf of the Trustee of the NovaStar Mortgage Funding Trust, Series 2007-1 (the “Trust”), a securitization trust in which the Company retains a residual interest, filed a summons with notice in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against Novation Companies, Inc. and NovaStar Mortgage, Inc. (“NMI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The notice provides that this is a breach of contract action with respect to certain, unspecified mortgage loans and defendant's failure to repurchase such loans under the applicable agreements. Plaintiff alleges that defendants, from the closing date of the transaction that created the Trust that mortgage loans that were sold to the Trust, were aware of the breach of the representations and warranties made and failed to notice and cure such breaches, and due to the failure of defendants to cure any breach, notice to defendants would have been futile. The summons with notice was not served until June 28, 2013. By letter dated June 24, 2013, the Trustee of the Trust forwarded a notice from Freddie Mac alleging breaches of representations and warranties with respect to 43 loans, as more fully set forth in included documentation. The 43 loans had an aggregate, original principal balance of about $6.5 million. On August 19, 2013, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, filed a complaint identifying alleged breaches of representations and warranties with respect to seven loans that were included in the earlier list of 43 loans. Plaintiff also generally alleged a trust-wide breach of representations and warranties by defendants with respect to loans sold and transferred to the trust. Plaintiff seeks specific performance of repurchase obligations; compensatory, consequential, recessionary and equitable damages for breach of contract; specific performance and damages for anticipatory breach of contract; and indemnification (indemnification against NMI only). On October 9, 2013, the Company and NMI filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s complaint. This motion to dismiss was withdrawn after plaintiff filed an amended complaint on January 28, 2014, and on March 4, 2014 the Company and NMI filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. This litigation is in an early stage, and the Company cannot provide an estimate of the range of any loss. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the case and expects to defend the case vigorously.

Note 8. Fair Value Accounting

Fair Value Measurements

The Company's valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

•Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted interest or currency exchange rates.

•Level 3 – Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, such as discounted cash flow methodologies based on internal cash flow forecasts.

Table of Contents

The following tables present for each of the fair value hierarchy levels, the Company's assets which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

Valuation Methods and Processes

The Company determines the fair value of its cash equivalents and marketable securities based on pricing from our service provider and market prices from industry-standard independent data providers. Such market prices may be quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs) or pricing determined using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs), such as yield curve, volatility factors, credit spreads, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments or debt, broker and dealer quotes, as well as other relevant economic measures.

To the extent observable inputs are not available, as is the case with the Company's mortgage securities, the Company estimates fair value using present value techniques and generally does not have the option to choose other valuation methods for these securities. The methods and processes used to estimate the fair value of the Company's mortgage securities are discussed further below. There have been no significant changes to the Company's valuation techniques during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Accordingly, there have been no material changes to the financial statements resulting from changes to our valuation techniques during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Table of Contents

The Company's marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. To the extent that the cost basis of the Company's marketable securities exceeds the fair value and the unrealized loss is considered to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recognized and the amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss is reclassified to earnings as a realized loss. The specific identification method is used in computing realized gains or losses.

Mortgage securities - available-for-sale. As discussed above and in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company's mortgage securities – available-for-sale, are measured at fair value. These securities are valued at each reporting date using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) by discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment.

The Company uses the discount rate methodology for determining the fair value of its residual securities. The fair value of the residual securities is estimated based on the present value of future expected cash flows to be received. Management's best estimate of key assumptions, including credit losses, prepayment speeds, forward yield curves and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved, are used in estimating future cash flows.

An independent entity has been engaged to prepare projected future cash flows of the Company's mortgage securities for each reporting period (quarterly) used by management to estimate fair value. The Company's internal finance and accounting staff reviews and monitors the work of the independent entity, including an analysis of the assumptions used, retrospective review of prior period assumptions, and preparation of an overall conclusion regarding the value and valuation process. All other fair value analysis, consisting of simple cash flow estimates and discounting techniques, is conducted internally by the Company's internal financial staff. The Company's fair value process is conducted under the supervision of the Chief Financial Officer.

The following table presents certain quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for items measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):




Description	Valuation Techniques	Significant Unobservable Inputs	Range
Assets:
Mortgage securities – available-for-sale	Present value analysis	Prepayment rates	5.4% – 10.6%
		Weighted average life (years)	2.0

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of mortgage securities – available-for-sale are prepayment rates and the weighted average life for the underlying mortgage loan collateral. Using a faster (higher) estimated prepayment rate would decrease the value of the securities. The Company uses a weighted average life of 2 years from the reporting date for the expected future estimated cash flows. The future cash flows are highly-dependent upon the performance of the underlying collateral of mortgage loans. The nonperformance risk associated with the collateral is the key reason the Company utilizes such a short weighted average life in its calculation. Assuming a shorter weighted average life would decrease the estimated value of the mortgage securities. Alternatively, assuming a longer weighted average life would increase the estimated value of the mortgage securities.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Company's mortgage securities – available-for-sale, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (dollars in thousands):



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,						For the Three Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Balance, beginning of period	$	3,381		$	3,728		$	3,201		$	3,466
Increases (decreases) to mortgage securities – available-for-sale:
Accretion of income (A)	277			385			140			192
Proceeds from paydowns of securities (A)	(351		)	(385		)	(173		)	(156		)

Balance, end of period	$	2,570		$	3,552		$	2,570		$	3,552


(A)	Cash received on mortgage securities with no cost basis was $2.9 million and $1.5 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $3.0 million and $1.4 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Adjustments to assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis did not have a material impact on the earnings of continuing operations for any period presented.

The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments presents amounts that have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies could have a material impact on the estimated fair value amounts. The fair value of short-term financial assets and liabilities, such as service fees receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses are not included in the following table as their carrying value approximates their fair value.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):



	As of June 30, 2015				As of December 31, 2014
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Financial assets:
Restricted cash	$	649	$	487	$	597	$	450
Marketable securities	31,330		31,330		45,827		45,827
Financial liabilities:
Senior notes	$	87,215	$	16,692	$	85,937	$	15,189

For the items in the table above not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is disclosed, the fair value has been estimated using Level 3 methodologies, based on significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, such as discounted cash flow calculations based on internal cash flow forecasts. No assets or liabilities have been transferred between levels during any period presented.

Restricted cash – The fair value of restricted cash was estimated by discounting estimated future releases of the cash from restriction. Restricted cash is included in the other current assets and other assets line items in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Senior notes – The fair value is estimated by discounting future projected cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved. The value of the Senior Notes was calculated assuming that the Company would be required to pay interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum until January 2016, at which time the Company would be required to start paying the Full Rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.5% until maturity in March 2033. The three-month LIBOR used in the analysis was projected using a forward interest rate curve.

Note 9. Income Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded an income tax expense from continuing operations of approximately $0.1 million. Income tax expense for three months ended June 30, 2015 was not material. The majority of income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 relates to our residual interests in certain mortgage securities and additional unrecognized tax benefits. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $8.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The income tax benefit for these periods relates primarily to operating losses from continuing operations and the utilization of a portion of the Company's deferred tax assets to offset the income tax expense from discontinued operations arising from the gain on the sale of StreetLinks during the second quarter of 2014.

For the six and three months ended June 30, 2015, income tax expense from discontinued operations was not material. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, income tax expense from discontinued operations totaled $8.8 million and $6.7 million, respectively, and relates to income from discontinued operations arising primarily from the gain on the sale of StreetLinks.

The consolidated income tax expense (benefit) was not material for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015, as the Company's effective tax rate is expected to be close to 0% due to the valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets, which is discussed further below. The consolidated income tax expense of $0.6 million and$0.5 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, is comprised primarily of state income tax expense on the income from discontinued operations arising due to variations in state tax law around both the ability and the period over which to carryforward net operating losses.

Prior to 2014, the Company determined that it was no longer more likely than not that it will recognize a portion of its deferred tax assets. Therefore, as of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets of $274.1 million and $268.6 million, respectively. The Company's determination of the extent to which its deferred tax assets will be realized requires the exercise of significant judgment, based in part on business plans and expectations about future outcomes. In the event the actual results differ from these estimates in future periods, the Company may need to adjust the valuation allowance, which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations. The Company will continue to assess the need for a valuation allowance in future periods.

As of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $0.5 million. This amount also represents the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate in the respective periods. The Company anticipates an additional reduction of the unrecognized tax benefits in the amount of $0.1 million due to the lapse of statute of limitations in the next twelve months.

Note 10. Segment Reporting

As detailed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, during 2014 the Company announced a significant strategic shift for Novation with the decision to focus its resources primarily on the business of Corvisa. Consistent with this strategic shift, the Company now operates as a single, consolidated operating segment, which encompasses the development, marketing, and support of the Company's cloud-based communication software and related services. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has only one operating segment, and therefore, one reportable segment.

The Company's service fee income from external customers is comprised of the following products and services (dollars in thousands):



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,				For the Three Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014

Professional services	$	954	$	916	$	505	$	358
Communications services	726		503		386		271
Transition services	—		968		—		968
Total net service fee income	$	1,680	$	2,387	$	891	$	1,597

Reconciliation to Financial Statements

Prior to 2008, the Company originated, purchased, securitized, sold, invested in and serviced residential nonconforming mortgage loans and mortgage securities. The Company incurred significant debt to finance these legacy operations, which, though modified as discussed in Note 6, remains outstanding as of June 30, 2015. For the six and three months ended June 30,

Table of Contents

2015, the Company incurred interest expense on its Senior Notes of approximately $1.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, compared to $1.6 million and $0.8 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Also as a result of the Company's legacy mortgage lending activities, the Company acquired mortgage securities that continue to be a source of its earnings and cash flow. The interest and cash flows received from these securities are used to fund the Company's ongoing operations described above. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company earned interest income on these securities of approximately $3.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company earned approximately $3.4 million and $1.6 million from these securities, respectively.

Note 11. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the effect of conversions of stock options and nonvested shares. The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts) are as follows:

Table of Contents

The following weighted-average options to purchase shares of common stock were outstanding during each period presented, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the calculated number of shares assumed to be repurchased was greater than the number of shares to be obtained upon exercise, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive (in thousands, except exercise prices):



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,				For the Three Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Number of stock options	10,148		8,675		10,350		8,856
Weighted average exercise price of stock options	$	0.63	$	0.68	$	0.62	$	0.68

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company granted approximately 0.7 million options to purchase shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.51. The weighted average impact of 0.2 million and 0.4 million of these current year option grants are included in the table above for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company granted 3.0 million options to purchase shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.51. The weighted average impact of 0.2 million and 0.4 million of these options are included in the table above for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

The Company had approximately 0.4 million and 0.6 million nonvested shares outstanding as of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. The majority of the nonvested shares vest ratably over their original term of six years, while a small number of these shares as of June 30, 2014 had an original cliff vesting schedule of ten years. The weighted average impact of approximately 0.4 million nonvested shares were not included in the calculation of earnings per share for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive. Approximately 0.6 million and 0.5 million nonvested shares were not included in the calculation of earnings per share for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Corporate Overview, Background and Strategy

Our Business

We are a Maryland corporation formed on September 13, 1996. We own 100% of Corvisa LLC ("Corvisa"). Corvisa sells cloud-based communication software under the CorvisaOne® brand, telecommunications services, and implementation consulting services. A detailed discussion of the Corvisa business is included below. This business was formerly known as CorvisaCloud, LLC, but was rebranded to Corvisa during the first quarter of 2015.

On August 18, 2014, the Company announced that it would be conducting an orderly winding-down of the remaining business and operations of Advent Financial Services LLC (“Advent”), a financial settlement services provider for professional tax preparers nationwide. As discussed in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the operations of Advent have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

On April 16, 2014, the Company and the non-controlling members of StreetLinks, a national residential appraisal and mortgage real estate valuation management services company, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Assurant Services, LLC, a subsidiary of Assurant, Inc. ("Assurant"), pursuant to which Assurant purchased 100% of the outstanding membership units of StreetLinks. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding this transaction. The operations of StreetLinks have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The sale of StreetLinks marked a significant strategic shift for Novation. On April 16, 2014, the Company announced that it would be focusing its resources primarily on the business of Corvisa. This decision was based largely on the Company's belief that Corvisa represents a better opportunity for Novation to build long-term shareholder value due to Corvisa's CorvisaOne technology platform and the size of its target customer base.

Corvisa LLC

Corvisa sells cloud-based, proprietary communication software under the brand CorvisaOne, telecommunications services, and implementation consulting services for its own clients as well as clients of a leading customer relationship management (CRM) software provider.

Corvisa derives its revenue from software subscription fees for its product and telecommunications minutes used with its CorvisaOne and Summit® Platform brands. Corvisa also derives revenue from professional service fees charged for enhanced implementation requirements of its contact center solution as well as CRM implementation services.

CorvisaOne is a full contact center suite including both inbound and outbound contact center functionality as well as full business phone system functionality. Features of the communications software include interactive voice response, automated call distribution, campaign dialing, and a variety of other services, all of which are delivered to clients as part of a comprehensive cloud solution. The software can be fully integrated with leading CRM providers and other third-party software solutions via integration solutions provided by our underlying Summit Platform. Corvisa's target customers are businesses of all sizes in all industries, anywhere in the world. We offer our customers the ability to purchase the following products:


•	Business Phone System - this is our basic private branch exchange ("PBX") solution targeted towards businesses of all sizes anywhere in the world.


•	Contact Center Basic Edition - this edition of our contact center product includes a limited feature set and supports a maximum of 50 users, geared toward small contact centers that just need the basics.

Table of Contents


•	Contact Center Inbound Edition - this is our contact center product without the outbound dialer and is geared towards inbound only contact center businesses that prefer not to pay for the additional cost of an outbound dialer.


•	Contact Center Full Edition - this is our complete CorvisaOne full contact center solution, which includes both inbound and outbound functionality.


•	Summit Platform - this is the platform upon which our products are built and gives our customers the ability to customize our products to fit their unique business needs. We also offer this as a standalone platform product to developers or businesses looking to develop their own voice and SMS applications.

We acquired Corvisa in October 2012 and set out to build a complete cloud-based contact center software solution. By joining the years of contact center operating experience possessed by Novation’s leadership team with the technology team acquired through the Corvisa acquisition, we believe we have built a best-in-class contact center software solution. In addition to the product offering, Corvisa has built its product as part of a platform that enables its customers and others to develop their own tools to tie into Corvisa's product offering.

In addition to the benefits associated with cloud-based technology solutions such as security, scalability, reliability, rapid deployment and low cost, additional business benefits to customers using Corvisa's technology product/platform include:

Integrated Cloud Business Phone System within Corvisa's Contact Center Application. This integration enables executives and contact center employees to be on the same platform and eliminates the need for separate contact center and business phone system vendors.

Product-plus-Platform Approach. Corvisa's Summit Platform is highly customizable and allows for the creation or customization of voice and SMS applications utilizing Corvisa's Lua-based programming language and development toolkits. This includes the ability for customers to modify their instance of Corvisa's business phone and contact center suite products to meet their specific and unique business demands or the ability to build entirely custom standalone applications. Applications built on Summit are fully hosted on the Corvisa network that provides scalability, redundancy, backup, testing frameworks and other features required for enterprise-class applications, making it a true Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering. Existing applications or those developed by third-party developers can also easily be integrated through our open application programming interfaces (APIs). This makes it easy for developers to easily build scale and effectively support their applications while eliminating the need to manage independent server and hosting environments.

Redundant Instance-Based Architecture. Corvisa's highly scalable, instance-based architecture allows CorvisaOne to scale to support a worldwide presence while providing customer benefits such as read access to their client data, segmented client data and a highly redundant architecture to maximize reliability and security.

Combined Telecom and Production Reporting. As business operators ourselves, we believe strongly in the importance of closely aligning telecommunications and production data to give greater visibility into overall business operations. The CorvisaOne product is tightly integrated with leading CRM systems to ensure accurate and comprehensive business reporting.

While Corvisa is still in the early stages of launching its product, our plan over time is to sell Corvisa's product and services through its direct sales force, which is comprised of telephone sales personnel located regionally. Corvisa recently expanded its sales strategy to also include a channel partner sales program. For larger opportunities Corvisa will send its implementation teams on site in a consulting role to help onboard clients.

Corvisa's marketing strategy is to continue to increase its brand awareness, while generating and helping to nurture quality leads for its sales force. Corvisa's primary marketing activities consist of:


•	press and industry analyst relations for third-party validation of the Corvisa offering and value proposition;


•	participation in industry conferences, trade shows and events;


•	search engine marketing and online advertising to drive leads to the Corvisa sales force;


•	email marketing to drive and nurture leads;


•	use of customer testimonials and referrals;


•	marketing activities to engage with and generate leads from channel partners;


•	leads from the Corvisa CRM implementation practice; and


•	purchase of leads from third parties.

Table of Contents

Competition

The markets for contact center solutions and business phone systems are highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and subject to changing technology, shifting customer needs, and frequent introductions of new features and services. Corvisa's current competitors include:


•	large legacy technology vendors that offer on-premise enterprise telephony and contact center systems;


•	legacy on-premise software companies, which are supplementing their traditional on-premise contact center systems with cloud-based or hybrid offerings either through acquisition or in-house development;


•	vendors that historically provided other contact center services and technologies and expanded to offer cloud-based contact center software; and


•	smaller contact center service providers with specialized contact center software offerings.

The principal competitive factors in Corvisa's market include:


•	service features and capabilities;


•	system reliability, availability and performance;


•	speed and ease of activation, setup and configuration;


•	ownership and control of the underlying technology;


•	integration with mobile devices;


•	brand awareness and recognition;


•	quality of customer and technical support;


•	simplicity of the pricing model; and


•	total cost of ownership.

We believe that Corvisa generally competes favorably on the basis of the factors listed above.

Our Strategy

During 2014 we announced a significant strategic shift with the Company focusing its resources primarily on the business of Corvisa. Given the early-stage nature of this business, it may not contribute to earnings for some time but we believe Corvisa represents a solid investment with the opportunity for future earnings and equity value creation that will benefit shareholders. Management is focused on building Corvisa and creating this long-term value for shareholders.

We use a combination of financial measures prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP financial measures to assess performance. The key performance measures for executive management are:


•	Corvisa gross service fee income;


•	Corvisa gross margin; and


•	consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for share-based compensation ("adjusted EBITDA")

We use adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP performance measure, because we believe it reflects the Company’s core operating performance by excluding certain charges, such as share-based compensation, and the impact of the effect of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest, depreciation and amortization costs. Adjusted EBITDA is included as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP because we believe this non-GAAP financial measure helps us explain underlying performance trends in our business and provide useful information to both management and investors. This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the key performance metrics for the Company for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, as derived from our consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed information therein and with the disclosure included in this report under the heading “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Also included in the following table is a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net loss from continuing operations.

Results of Operations

Service Fee Income

We earn communications services fees through software licenses, inbound and outbound minute usage, ancillary fees, and implementation services. Once implemented, clients pay a software as a service (SaaS) fee for a contact center seat license or business phone system license, as well as a per minute fee for inbound and outbound minutes used. Minute fees can also be generated from the use of our platform and legacy interactive voice response software.

We also earn professional service fees for providing CRM implementation, support and administrative services to our clients. The following table provides a summary of our service fee income by service.

Table 2 – Summary of Service Fee Income by Service (dollars in thousands)



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,				For the Three Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014

Professional services	$	954	$	916	$	505	$	358
Communications services	726		503		386		271
Total net service fee income	$	1,680	$	1,419	$	891	$	629

On a consolidated basis, service fee income increased to $1.7 million and $0.9 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, from $1.4 million and $0.6 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The growth in communications services revenue was driven primarily by more aggressive sales efforts, which began during the second half of 2014 and have continued into 2015. These efforts included a reorganization of the Company's sales and marketing function, an increase in the headcount of the Company's sales and marketing function, and purchases of leads from external sources. The increase in professional services revenue when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is due primarily to an increase in the average billing rate coupled with an increase in the relative size of active projects in terms of both total time commitment and total dollars.

Service Fee Income – Transition Services

In connection with the sale of StreetLinks, the Company and Assurant entered into a transition services agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide ongoing information technology, human resources management and accounting services to StreetLinks for a period of up to eighteen months. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company earned approximately $1.0 million of professional service fees under the transition services agreement. As the agreed-upon professional services were substantially complete as of December 31, 2014, professional service fees earned under the transition services agreement for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015 were not material.

Interest Income – Mortgage Securities

Interest income on the mortgage securities we own decreased to approximately $3.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $3.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was relatively flat at $1.7 million compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2014. Fluctuations in the interest income received from our mortgage portfolio are typically due to factors beyond the Company's control, such as the performance of the underlying loan collateral, prepayment speeds, interest rates, etc. The Company expects interest income and cash flow from these securities to decline as the principal on the underlying loan collateral is paid, written down, or written off.

Cost of Services

Direct costs of the Company's communications services consist primarily of expenses incurred to host and support our CorvisaOne software, co-location and data charges, fees paid to third party telecommunications carriers for usage, software license fees and royalty expenses, depreciation expense associated with capitalized software related to these services, and allocated overhead, such as occupancy charges and IT infrastructure. Direct costs of the Company's professional services consist almost entirely of the compensation and related expenses of those individuals providing professional services.

Cost of services increased to $3.1 million and $1.7 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, from $1.4 million and $0.7 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. This increase was partly driven by the current year growth in sales of our communications services offerings, which resulted in an increase in usage-related fees paid to third party telecommunications carriers and certain software license fees. Also driving the increase in cost of services both in total dollars and as a percentage of service fee income was the growth in the headcount of our customer support and professional services personnel, certain software royalty expenses, and depreciation expense related to our internally developed software. As this business is still in the early stages of development, Management continues to identify and explore opportunities to scale the business and improve the efficiency of operations with the intent to generate positive margins.

Cost of Services – Transition Services

During the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company incurred approximately $0.6 million in costs to provide the services set forth in the transition services agreement. As the agreed-upon professional services were substantially complete as of December 31, 2014, cost of services – transition services for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015 were not material.

Development

Development costs consist primarily of non-capitalized salaries and related expenses for our development personnel, and allocated overhead. Our development efforts are focused on adding new features and services, integrating licensed technologies, increasing the functionality and security of our CorvisaOne software, and enhancing the ease of use of this software.

Development expenses can vary period over period based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, significant changes in development staff headcount, the stage of the Company's various development projects within the software development lifecycle and the existence of the technology necessary for the Company's development projects to achieve their targeted performance requirements. In periods where a significant number of projects are within the application development stage, development costs may decline due to the capitalization of these costs as internal use software. Conversely, in periods where substantial development effort is devoted to projects for which the necessary technology does not currently exist, development costs that would normally be capitalized would be expensed as incurred until the technology is developed and the preliminary project stage is completed.

Despite the period over period growth in the headcount of the Company's development personnel, development costs decreased to $0.8 million in six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease was due primarily to the fact that, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, a larger percentage of developer time was spent working on projects in the application development stage of the software development lifecycle. As such, a larger percentage of the compensation and other costs associated with these projects were capitalized in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance. Development costs for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were relatively flat at $0.5 million.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for our sales and marketing staff, commissions, advertising, purchases of leads from third parties, and allocated overhead.

Sales and marketing increased to approximately $4.9 million and $2.5 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, from $1.5 million and $0.9 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. As noted within the service fee income discussion above, this increase in sales and marketing costs for all periods was due primarily to the growth in the headcount of the Company's sales and marketing function and purchases of leads from external sources.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related expenses for finance and accounting, legal, internal audit, human resources and management information systems personnel, legal costs, professional fees, other corporate expenses and allocated overhead.

General and administrative expenses decreased from $8.7 million and $4.2 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, to approximately $7.9 million and $3.7 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for all periods is due primarily to a decrease in compensation and benefits as a result of the retirement of the Company's Chief Operating Officer, Steve Haslam, during the third quarter of 2014. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the impact of the Mr. Haslam's retirement on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is also due to a reduction in rent expense for all periods due to the abandonment of an operating lease during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Other (Expense) Income

Other income (expense) was not material for any period presented.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was materially consistent period over period, with the Company incurring approximately $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the Company's borrowings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately $4.7 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $0.6 million of restricted cash, which is primarily included in the other noncurrent assets line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company held approximately $28.7 million in corporate notes and bonds and agency securities with average remaining maturities between five months and eighteen months. These securities are classified as available-for-sale as of June 30, 2015 and are included in the current and non-current marketable securities line items on the condensed, consolidated balance sheet.

Our current projections indicate that sufficient cash and cash flows are and will be available to meet payment needs. It is important to note, though, that our mortgage securities cash flows are volatile and uncertain, and the amounts we receive could vary materially from our projections. Further, given the early stage nature of Corvisa, this business may not contribute to quarterly earnings for some time as it continues to invest for long-term growth. Sufficient cash is available to meet the immediate and near-term operating cash needs of Corvisa. However, if current trends continue, the Company will need to obtain additional liquid resources and/or modify its organizational structure, processes, and/or systems in an effort to streamline operations and reduce monthly cash spend while continuing to provide necessary levels of support to ensure continued growth of Corvisa.

As discussed under the heading “Item 1. Legal Proceedings” of Part II of this report, we are also the subject of various legal proceedings, the outcomes of which are uncertain. We may also face demands in the future that are unknown to us today related to our legacy lending and servicing operations. Management believes that its current operations and its available cash are sufficient for the Company to discharge its liabilities and meet its commitments in the normal course of business.

The indentures governing the Senior Notes (the “Indentures”) contain restrictive covenants (the “Negative Covenants”) subject to exceptions in the Indentures, including written consent of the holders of the Senior Notes. The Negative Covenants prohibit NCI and its subsidiaries, from among other things, incurring debt, permitting any lien upon any of its property or assets, making any cash dividend or distribution or liquidation payment, acquiring our shares or equity in our subsidiaries, making payment on our debt securities that rank pari passu or junior to the Senior Notes, or disposing of any equity interest in our subsidiaries or all or substantially all of the assets of our subsidiaries. The Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.0% until the earlier of (a) the completion of an equity offering by NCI or our subsidiaries that results in proceeds of $40 million or more or (b) January 1, 2016. Thereafter, the Senior Notes will accrue interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.5% (the “Full Rate”). Interest on the Senior Notes is paid on a quarterly basis and no principal payments are due until maturity on March 30, 2033. The Negative Covenants remain in effect until both of the following conditions are met: 1) the Senior Notes begin accruing interest at the Full Rate, and 2) the Company satisfies certain financial covenants (the “Financial Covenants”). Satisfaction of the Financial Covenants requires the Company to demonstrate on a consolidated basis that (1) its Tangible Net Worth is equal to or greater than $40 million, and (2) either (a) the Interest Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.35x, or (b) the Leverage Ratio is not greater than 95%. As the Senior Notes were not accruing interest at the Full Rate, the Negative Covenants, as defined above, were still in effect as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Compliance with the Financial Covenants is required only when the Company seeks to take action prohibited by the Negative Covenants that has not been approved by the holders of the Senior Notes.

As discussed in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, on April 16, 2014, the Company and the non-controlling members of StreetLinks entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Assurant, pursuant to which Assurant purchased 100% of the outstanding membership units of StreetLinks. The sale of a subsidiary is not prohibited by the Negative Covenants, provided that the sale is at fair market value and the proceeds are reinvested in the Company. As such, the Company was in compliance with all Negative Covenants as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and therefore the Company was under no obligation to comply with the Financial Covenants during these periods.

Except as discussed in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no significant changes to the Company's contractual obligations as presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Overview of Cash Flow for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

The following table provides a summary of our operating, investing and financing cash flows as taken from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Table 3 – Summary of Operating, Investing and Financing Cash Flows (dollars in thousands)



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
Cash (used in) provided by operating activities of continuing operations	$	(11,542	)	$	(817	)
Cash flows provided by investing activities of continuing operations	11,305			36,118
Cash flows used in financing activities of continuing operations	(333		)	(2,500		)

Operating Activities

The decrease in net cash flows provided by operating activities from $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $11.5 million used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 is driven primarily by the operations of Corvisa and decreases in collections of amounts due from discontinued operations.

Investing Activities

The decrease in the net cash flows provided by investing activities is due primarily to the cash proceeds received from the sale of StreetLinks during the second quarter of 2014, as no such proceeds were received during the six months ended June 30, 2015. This was offset slightly by an increase in cash proceeds from the sales and maturities of marketable securities during the six months ended June 30, 2015, coupled with a reduction in purchases of marketable securities period over period.

Financing Activities

The decrease in net cash flows used in financing activities when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is due primarily to a reduction in cash payments for contributions of capital to discontinued operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the federal securities laws, including this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(d)) as of the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that the Company's controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Pending Litigation.

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings. Except as set forth below, these proceedings are of an ordinary and routine nature. Any legal fees associated with these proceedings are expensed as incurred.

Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of any legal proceeding, in the opinion of management, other than the active proceedings described in detail below, proceedings and actions against the Company should not, individually, or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, operations and liquidity. Furthermore, due to the uncertainty of any potential loss as a result of pending litigation and due to the Company's belief that an adverse ruling is not probable, the Company has not accrued a loss contingency related to the following matters in its consolidated financial statements. However, a material outcome in one or more of the active proceedings described below could have a material impact on the results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.

On June 20, 2011, the National Credit Union Administration Board, as liquidating agent of U.S. Central Federal Credit Union, filed an action against NMFC and numerous other defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas, claiming that the defendants issued or underwrote residential mortgage-backed securities pursuant to allegedly false or misleading registration statements, prospectuses, and/or prospectus supplements. On August 24, 2012, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint making essentially the same claims against NMFC. NMFC filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint which was denied on September 12, 2013. The defendants had claimed that the case should be dismissed based upon a statute of limitations and sought an appeal of the court's denial of this defense. An interlocutory appeal of this issue was allowed, and on August 27, 2013, the Tenth Circuit affirmed the lower court’s denial of defendants’ motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s claims as being time barred; the appellate court held that the Extender Statute, 12 U.S.C. §1787(b)(14) applied to plaintiff’s claims. On June 16, 2014, the United States Supreme Court granted a petition of NMFC and its co-defendants for certiorari, vacated the ruling of the Tenth Circuit, and remanded the case back to that court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in CTS Corp. v. Waldburger, 134 S. Ct. 2175 (2014). On August 19, 2014, the Tenth Circuit reaffirmed its prior decision, and on October 2, 2014 the defendants filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court, which was denied. This litigation is in an early stage, and the Company cannot provide an estimate of the range of any loss. The Company believes that NMFC has meritorious defenses to the case and expects it to defend the case vigorously.

complaint identifying alleged breaches of representations and warranties with respect to seven loans that were included in the earlier list of 43 loans. Plaintiff also generally alleged a trust-wide breach of representations and warranties by defendants with respect to loans sold and transferred to the trust. Plaintiff seeks specific performance of repurchase obligations; compensatory, consequential, recessionary and equitable damages for breach of contract; specific performance and damages for anticipatory breach of contract; and indemnification (indemnification against NMI only). On October 9, 2013, the Company and NMI filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s complaint. This motion to dismiss was withdrawn after plaintiff filed an amended complaint on January 28, 2014, and on March 4, 2014 the Company and NMI filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. This litigation is in an early stage, and the Company cannot provide an estimate of the range of any loss. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the case and expects to defend the case vigorously.

Item 5. Other Information

On July 21, 2015, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders. On this date, our shareholders approved and adopted certain proposals, as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2015, and as subsequently supplemented. Among the proposals approved and adopted by our shareholders was the Company’s 2015 Incentive Stock Plan, which replaces the Company's 2004 Incentive Stock Plan, as amended from time to time. Our shareholders also approved an amendment to our Articles of Amendment and Restatement, which is designed to prevent certain transfers of the Company's common stock that could result in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, significantly impair the value of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards. As detailed in the exhibit listing in Item 6, copies of these documents are attached as exhibits to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
