RCS Capital Corporation

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2014 and
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014
and for the Year Ended December 31, 2013

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations have been prepared through the application of Pro Forma adjustments to the historical Statement of Financial Condition and Statement of Operations of RCS Capital Corporation (the “Company” or “RCAP”) reflecting the recent acquisitions and the related financing, as detailed below. The Company completed the acquisition of Cetera Financial Holdings, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Cetera”); Summit Financial Services Group, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Summit”); JP Turner & Company, LLC and JP Turner & Company Capital Management, LLC (collectively; “JP Turner”); First Allied Holdings Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“First Allied”); Hatteras Investment Partners LLC, Hatteras Investment Management LLC, Hatteras Capital Investment Management, LLC, Hatteras Alternative Mutual Funds LLC, and Hatteras Capital Investment Partners, LLC together with their respective consolidated subsidiaries (“Hatteras”); Investors Capital Holdings, Ltd. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“ICH”); and Validus/Strategic Capital Partners, LLC. (“Strategic Capital”), which closed on April 29, 2014; June 11, 2014; June 12, 2014, June 30, 2014, June 30, 2014, July 11, 2014, and August 29, 2014, respectively. Cetera, Summit, JP Turner, First Allied, Hatteras, ICH and Strategic Capital are collectively referred to as the “Completed Acquisitions”. The Company’s acquisition of First Allied, which occurred on June 30, 2014, was accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interest accounting because First Allied and the Company were under the common control of RCAP Holdings at the time of the acquisition of First Allied by RCAP Holdings, and accordingly is included in the entire period from September 25, 2013. The Company’s pending acquisitions, which include Trupoly, Inc., Docupace Technologies, LLC, VSR Group, Inc., and Girard Securities, Inc. were not considered significant acquisitions and were not included in the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes pro forma adjustments to reflect the acquisitions of the Completed Acquisitions (except that, with respect to First Allied, the pro forma adjustments only relate to the period prior to September 25, 2013) and exchange by RCAP Holdings, LLC, (“RCAP Holdings”) of all the Class B units owned by it in the Company’s operating subsidiaries for 23,999,999 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock par value $0.001 per share (the “Exchange”). The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2014 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 do not require pro forma adjustments for the Exchange.

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and the related unaudited Pro Forma adjustments for June 30, 2014 was prepared as if the ICH and Strategic Capital acquisitions occurred on June 30, 2014 and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and notes in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition is not necessarily indicative of what the actual financial position would have been had the Company acquired ICH and Strategic Capital as of June 30, 2014 nor does it purport to present the future financial position of the Company. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and the related unaudited Pro Forma adjustments for June 30, 2014 were prepared as if these transactions occurred on June 30, 2014. However the acquisitions have both closed as of this filing and therefore, the stock prices used to prepare the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and the related Pro Forma adjustments were the actual closing stock prices on the date of closing for each respective acquisition.

The unaudited Consolidated Pro Forma Statements of Operations and the related unaudited Pro Forma adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013 were prepared as if the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2013, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the Completed Acquisitions’ historical financial statements and notes thereto (based on the significance test performed by the Company, the consolidated financial statements for ICH, JP Turner, and Strategic Capital are not included). The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the Company acquired the Completed Acquisitions on January 1, 2013, nor does it purport to present the future results of operations of the Company. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations and the related Pro Forma adjustments were prepared as if these transactions occurred on January 1, 2013.

Pursuant to an agreement, RCS Capital Management LLC (“RCS Capital Management”) implements the Company’s business strategy, as well as the business strategy of the operating subsidiaries, and performs executive and management services for the Company and operating subsidiaries, subject to oversight, directly or indirectly, by the Company’s Board of Directors. For purposes of the Consolidated Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 there were no quarterly fees charged due to the fact that, based on the pro forma results, the quarterly fee calculation was negative.

From an income tax perspective, it has been assumed for any acquisition that is an asset acquisition that historical deferred tax balances of the target will be eliminated as post-acquisition book and tax bases will generally be equal. For any acquisition that is a stock acquisition, historical deferred tax balances are generally assumed to survive and be potentially further impacted by purchase accounting, as described more fully in the footnotes below.

We have entered into a tax receivable agreement with RCAP Holdings, pursuant to which we pay RCAP Holdings 85% of the amount of the reduction, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax liabilities that we realize (or are deemed to realize upon an early termination of the tax receivable agreement or a change of control) as a result of any increases in tax basis created by RCAP Holdings’ exchanges. These Pro Forma consolidated financial statements assume RCAP Holdings’ exchanges will be effectuated in a tax-free manner in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 351; therefore, the tax receivable agreement will not be triggered and RCAP Holdings will not receive payments from the Company for income tax purposes.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical Statement of Financial Condition and Statement of Operations of the Completed Acquisitions to conform to the Company’s presentation. For example, if one of the Completed Acquisitions had an expense line item for which the Company has no comparable line item, other expenses was used unless the amount was material, in which case a new line item was added.

(4) Reflects the historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition of Strategic Capital as of the date indicated.
(5) Reflects pro forma adjustments to record the assets and liabilities of Strategic Capital at their fair values for (i) $65.4 million in cash consideration paid on August 29, 2014, (ii) $10.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock consideration, or 464,317 shares, par value $0.001 per share issued on August 29, 2014, (iii) deferred cash payments with a fair value of $10.0 million, which the Company has agreed to make on November 27, 2014 and (iv) estimated additional future consideration of $94.1 million, which will be based on the consolidated estimated EBITDA generated by the business of Strategic Capital for fiscal years ending December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016. The estimated fair-value of the earn-out, which is defined in the Strategic Capital purchase agreement, was calculated as follows (in millions):

     
  2015   2016   Total
Estimated
Earn-Out
Estimated EBITDA   $ 20.6     $ 35.7           
Factor(i)     7.0       6.5        
Product   $ 144.2     $ 232.1           
Factor(ii)     25 %     25 %         
Potential Earn Out   $ 36.1     $ 58.0     $ 94.1  
(i) Reflects a discounted multiplier per the purchase agreement between the Company and the sellers of Strategic Capital.
(ii) Reflects an agreed upon percentage between the Company and the sellers of Strategic Capital to incentivize the performance of Strategic Capital after the closing date based on the 2015 and 2016 EBITDA multiplied by the aforementioned factor.
(6) Reflects the use of $8.4 million of available cash to fund the cash consideration portion of the ICH acquisition.
(7) Reflects the elimination of the Company’s historical third-party receivables and payables with ICH which upon acquisition became classified as intercompany receivables and payables and eliminate in consolidation.
(8) Reflects the preliminary adjustment to record goodwill and other intangible assets including intangibles for client relationships. The amount includes the recording of $61.6 million of new goodwill, tangible and intangible assets, which include intangibles related to the acquisition of ICH’s broker-dealer and investment advisory businesses. Amounts are preliminary and will be finalized once the purchase price allocation to the assets and liabilities acquired is finalized. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired entities to identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their respective fair values. The identifiable intangible assets of ICH are primarily related to client relationships which have useful lives of 14 to 18 years and internally developed software, non-compete agreements and trade names that have useful lives of 6 years, 5 years and indefinite, respectively. Factors considered in the analysis of such intangible assets include the estimate and probability of future revenues attributable to financial advisors and retention rates which are used to derive economic cash flows that are present valued at an appropriate rate of return over their respective useful lives. The adjustment also includes the write-down in the fair value of advisor notes receivable of $0.4 million to their fair value. The deferred tax liability of $12.1 million relates to timing differences between book and taxable expense related to the intangible assets, which is netted against a

$1.4 million deferred tax asset. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price, the Company utilized an independent appraisal.

Accordingly, these allocations are subject to revision when final information is available, although the Company does not expect future revisions to have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.
(9) Reflects the par value of the Company’s Class A common stock to be issued in connection with the ICH acquisition.
(10) Reflects the elimination of ICH’s common stock, treasury stock and retained earnings balances.
(11) Primarily reflects the issuance of the Company’s freely tradable Class A common stock for the equity portion of the consideration due in connection with the ICH acquisition partially offset by the elimination of ICH’s historical additional paid-in capital balance. These Pro Forma financial statements were prepared based on the volume weighted average trading price of a share of RCAP Class A common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the closing of the merger.

 
  (in millions)
Excess price of the Company’s Class A common stock above par value   $ 44.1  
Elimination of ICH’s additional paid-in capital     (13.2 ) 
Total   $ 30.9  
(12) Reflects the use of $65.4 million of cash funded for the cash consideration portion of the Strategic Capital acquisition.
(13) Reflects the preliminary adjustment to record goodwill and intangible assets of $223.3 million, which relate to the acquisition of Strategic Capital’s broker-dealer businesses. Amounts are preliminary and will be finalized once the purchase price allocation to the assets and liabilities acquired is finalized. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired entities to identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their respective fair values. The Company is in the process of engaging an independent appraisal expert to conduct the purchase price allocation; therefore, information regarding the amount, types of and useful lives of the intangibles are unknown at the time of this filing. The Company allocated the excess purchase price between goodwill and intangibles based on the allocation used in the acquisition of a similar company. All items will be finalized once additional information is received. Accordingly, these allocations are subject to revision when final information is available, although the Company does not expect future revisions to have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations. The estimated deferred tax liability of $50.9 million relates to timing differences between book and taxable expense related to the incremental intangible assets. The purchase agreement also includes an EBITDA based earn-out for an estimated $94.1 million as well as $10 million in cash due 90-days after closing.
(14) Primarily reflects the issuance of 464,317 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock for the equity portion of the consideration due in connection with the Strategic Capital acquisition.
(15) Reflects the elimination of Strategic Capital’s member’s equity.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations

(1) Reflects the historical Consolidated Statement of Income of the Company for the period indicated, which has been restated to include First Allied results from the period of common control, or September 25, 2013, through December 31, 2013.
(2) Reflects the historical Consolidated Statement of Income of Cetera for the period indicated.
(3) Reflects the historical Statement of Operations of Walnut Street Securities, Inc. (“Walnut”) for the eight months ended August 31, 2013. Cetera did not acquire Walnut until the third quarter of 2013; therefore, the historical Consolidated Statement of Income of Cetera only includes Walnut for four months. Walnut did not have any transactions for this period with the Company or Cetera. As such, no intercompany elimination adjustments are reflected in the pro forma financial statements. The results of Walnut for the eight months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012 include overhead charges from affiliates prior to the acquisition by Cetera of $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Following the acquisition of Walnut by Cetera, Walnut ceased operating as a separate entity and its operations were moved to a more efficient shared service platform and a substantial portion of Walnut’s employees were not hired by Cetera. Therefore, we do not believe that these overhead charges are indicative of overhead allocable to Walnut following the acquisition or that the results of operations for of Walnut for the eight months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012 are indicative of what its operating performance would have been if it had been owned by Cetera during the eight months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012.
(4) Reflects the historical Statement of Operations of Tower Square Securities, Inc. (“Tower Square”) for the eight months ended August 31, 2013. Cetera did not acquire Tower Square until the third quarter of 2013; therefore, the historical Consolidated Statement of Income of Cetera only includes Tower Square for four months. Tower Square did not have any transactions for this period with the Company or Cetera. As such, no intercompany elimination adjustments are reflected in the pro forma financial statements. The results of Tower Square for the eight months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012 include overhead charges from affiliates prior to the acquisition by Cetera of $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Following the acquisition of Tower Square by Cetera, Tower Square ceased operating as a separate entity and its operations were moved to a more efficient shared service platform and a substantial portion of Tower Square’s employees were not hired by Cetera. Therefore, we do not believe that these overhead charges are indicative of overhead allocable to Tower Square following the acquisition or that the results of operations for of Tower Square for the eight months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012 are indicative of what its operating performance would have been if it had been owned by Cetera during the eight months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012.
(5) Reflects pro forma adjustments to record Cetera financing related interest expense adjustment. This adjustment excludes a portion of the commitment in respect of the first lien term facility which is subject to automatic reduction if certain of the pending acquisitions are abandoned or terminated.
(6) Reflects the historical Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income of Summit for the period indicated.
(7) Reflects the historical Consolidated Statement of Income of JP Turner for the period indicated.
(8) Reflects the historical Combined Statement of Revenue and Expenses of Hatteras for the period indicated.
(9) Reflects the historical Consolidated Statement of Operations of First Allied from January 1, 2013 through September 25, 2013, the date on which First Allied came under common control with the Company, after which First Allied’s operating results are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Company. First Allied’s historical financial statements comprise a predecessor and successor period as RCAP Holdings acquired First Allied on September 25, 2013. As a result of the acquisition, the push down basis of accounting was applied at September 25, 2013, and as a result, depreciation and amortization expense was increased and occupancy expense was increased.
(10) Reflects the historical Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations of ICH for the period indicated. ICH has a fiscal year that ends on March 31; therefore, in order to present a statement of operations for December 31, 2013 that reflects twelve months of activity, the amounts were derived by adding:
(i) ICH’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations data for the nine months ended December 31, 2013.
(ii) ICH’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations data for the year ended March 31, 2013; less ICH’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations data for the nine months ended December 31, 2012.

(11) Reflects the historical Consolidated Statement of Income of Strategic Capital for the period indicated.
(12) Reflects pro forma adjustments to the historical Statement of Operations of the Company to reflect the impact of certain related party transactions.

(16) Reflects the amortization and depreciation expense on Cetera’s intangible and fixed assets for the year ended December 31, 2013 assuming their useful life will be approximately 14 years and 1 year, respectively. The amortization expense for each acquisition was calculated by dividing the individual intangible assets by the useful life which was determined by the independent appraisal firm. The total individual intangible assets for each acquisition were then divided by the total annual amortization expense to derive the overall useful life for the combined group of intangible assets acquired.

(19) Reflects Tower Square’s amortization expense of intangible assets for eight months prior to acquisition by Cetera. The amortization expense is based on a fair value of $7.1 million and an approximate useful life of 7.9 years. The tax effect of this adjustment is $0.2 million using an assumed 40% tax rate.
(20) Reflects the pro forma adjustments to the Company’s historical consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 for interest expense on long-term debt and convertible notes issued. The tax benefit effect for this expense is $28.6 million using an assumed tax rate of 40%. The SEC FRM 3260.1, which requires disclosure of the effect on income of a  1/8% variance in interest rates, is not applicable since the long-term debt and the convertible notes interest is calculated using a floor of 1% LIBOR.

(46) Reflects the amortization expense on Strategic Capital intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2013 assuming their useful life will be approximately 13 years. The amortization expense for each acquisition was calculated by dividing the individual intangible assets by the useful life which was determined based on the useful life of intangible assets in the acquisition of a similar company. The Company is in the process of engaging an independent appraisal expert to conduct the purchase price allocation; therefore, information regarding the amount, types of and useful lives of the intangibles are our best estimates at the time of this filing. The total individual intangible assets for each acquisition were then divided by the total annual amortization expense to derive the overall useful life for the combined group of intangible assets acquired. The tax effect of this adjustment is using an assumed 40% tax rate.

on January 1, 2013. As a result of this exchange, RCAP Holdings is entitled to both economic and voting rights and; therefore, no longer has a non-controlling interest in the Company (other than a de minimis interest and, as of April 28, 2014, 310,947 earned LTIP Units).
(52) Reflects the pro forma adjustment to record the 7% convertible preferred dividend from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. The Company issued 14,657,980 shares of convertible preferred stock to finance the Cetera acquisition in a private placement. The shareholders of convertible preferred stock are entitled to a dividend of 7% of the liquidation preference in cash and a dividend of 8% of the liquidation preference if a quarterly dividend is not paid in cash on the dividend payment date.
(53) Reflects the number of shares issued for the Summit, JP Turner, First Allied, ICH, and Strategic Capital acquisitions, assuming that the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2013.
