Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Springleaf Acquisition Corporation

We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of SpringCastle America, LLC, SpringCastle Credit, LLC, SpringCastle Finance LLC and SpringCastle Acquisition, LLC (collectively “the Company”), which comprise the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related combined statements of operations, of changes in members’ equity (deficit) and of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 and for the period from April 1, 2013 (date of inception) through December 31, 2013.

Management's Responsibility for the Combined Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SpringCastle America, LLC, SpringCastle Credit, LLC, SpringCastle Finance, LLC and SpringCastle Acquisition, LLC at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 and for the period from April 1, 2013 (date of inception) through December 31, 2013 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matter

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the combined financial statements taken as a whole. The combining balance sheet and combining statement of operations (the “combining information”) is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the combined financial statements. The information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the combined financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the combined financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the combined financial statements or to the combined financial statements themselves and other additional procedures, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the combined financial statements taken as a whole.

Note 1.	Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of business: SpringCastle America, LLC (SC America), SpringCastle Credit, LLC (SC Credit), and SpringCastle Finance, LLC (SC Finance), referred to collectively as the Company, are Delaware limited liability companies formed in March 2013 for the purpose of executing the finance receivable portfolio acquisition described below and contracts for finance receivable servicing. SC America purchased all finance receivables considered to be nonperforming as of the date of acquisition. SC Credit purchased the performing closed-end finance receivables and SC Finance acquired the performing finance receivables with revolving privileges. Under the terms of the LLC agreements, the Company shall continue until dissolved.

On March 5, 2013, SpringCastle Acquisition LLC (SCA), a newly formed joint venture in which an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Springleaf Finance Corporation (SFC), Springleaf Acquisition Corporation (SAC), and NRZ Consumer LLC (NRZ), previously an indirect subsidiary of Newcastle Investment Corp. (Newcastle), each held a 50% equity interest entered into a definitive agreement to purchase a portfolio of finance receivables from HSBC Finance Corporation and certain of its affiliates (collectively HSBC). On April 1, 2013, BTO WillowHoldings, L.P. (Blackstone), an affiliate of Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Advisors LLC, acquired a 23% equity interest in SCA, which reduced the equity interests of SAC and NRZ to 47% and 30%, respectively. Contributions and distributions are made based on each members’ relative interest in the Company.

A finance receivable portfolio acquisition was completed on April 1, 2013 for a purchase price of $3.0 billion, at which time the portfolio consisted of over 415,000 finance receivable accounts with a $3.9 billion unpaid principal balance (Acquired Portfolio). The Acquired Portfolio included both unsecured finance receivables and finance receivables secured with subordinate residential real estate mortgages which are serviced as unsecured finance receivables due to the fact that the liens are subordinated to superior ranking security interests and the Company’s ability to realize any value on such liens in a liquidation situation is limited. The $3.0 billion purchase price was funded with $2.2 billion of debt and the remainder was funded with equity contributed from each of the joint venture members.

Immediately prior to the completion of the finance receivable portfolio acquisition, SCA assigned its right to purchase the portfolio to SC America, SC Credit, and SC Finance, which in turn, immediately sold their respective portion of the portfolio to SpringCastle America Funding, LLC (SC America Funding), SpringCastle Credit Funding, LLC (SC Credit Funding), and SpringCastle Finance Funding, LLC (SC Finance Funding), each a Co-Issuer LLC, and collectively the “Co-Issuer LLCs”, and a loan trustee in connection with the securitization of the finance receivable portfolio on April 1, 2013. The Co-Issuer LLCs were formed for the purpose of executing the securitization of the Acquired Portfolio. The Co-Issuer LLCs are consolidated with their respective parent for purposes of presentation in the combined financial statements.

As of April 1, 2013, SpringCastle Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SAC, certain affiliates of Newcastle (Newcastle Affiliates) and Blackstone held a 47%, 30%, and 23% respective equity interest, in SC America, SC Credit, and SC Finance individually. On May 15, 2013, Newcastle distributed to its stockholders its investment in the Newcastle Affiliates, which still retain their equity interest in SC America, SC Credit, and SC Finance. SC America holds a 100% equity interest in SC America Funding, SC Credit holds a 100% equity interest in SC Credit Funding, and SC Finance holds a 100% equity interest in SC Finance Funding.

On April 1, 2013, Springleaf Finance, Inc. (SFI or Springleaf) entered into a servicing agreement with the Co-Issuer LLCs whereby SFI agreed to service the finance receivables in the Acquired Portfolio

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

effective on the servicing transfer date, which was September 1, 2013. Prior to the servicing transfer date, HSBC continued to service the Acquired Portfolio and perform collection services pursuant to an interim servicing agreement.

Basis of presentation: The combined financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP). The accompanying combined financial statements include the combined financial statements of SC Finance, SC Credit, SC America, and SCA. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon combination of SC Finance, SC Credit, and SC America and consolidation of the Co-Issuer LLCs. SCA was formed for the purpose of facilitating cash management functions among SC Finance, SC Credit, and SC America. The accounts of SC Finance, SC Credit, SC America, and SCA have been presented on a combined basis in the accompanying combined financial statements due to common ownership and control of the companies. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between SCA and the Company have been eliminated.

Prior period revisions: During 2014, the Company discovered that amounts billed to customers whose accounts have revolving credit privileges were incorrectly included in gross finance receivables. The affected disclosure has been corrected in Note 2 by decreasing the gross finance receivables and increasing the accrued interest receivable as of December 31, 2013 by $27.2 million.

After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of this correction management has determined that the Company’s previously issued combined financial statements were not materially misstated.

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates based upon assumptions at the balance sheet date, which could change materially, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates have been made by management with respect to the collectability of estimated future cash flows on portfolios (pools) of purchased credit impaired finance receivables. Management reviews the estimate of future collections and it is possible that its assessment of collectability may change based on actual results and other factors. Significant estimates have also been made by management with respect to the original segregation of finance receivable pools, the initial fair value estimates of these pools, and the allowance for finance receivable losses recorded on portfolios (pools) of purchased performing finance receivables. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the combined statement of operations for the period ended December 31, 2013 to conform it to the 2014 presentation and disaggregate the fair value adjustment for securitized debt from other income.

Cash and restricted cash and cash equivalents: Cash equivalents include short term investments with original maturities of three months or less. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, cash equivalents of $79.4 million and $169.1 million, respectively, consisted of money market mutual funds.

Restricted cash represents funds collected from finance receivables that are restricted under the indenture for the Company’s securitized debt. A portion is restricted for the purpose of reducing the securitized debt balance based on the terms of the indenture.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The Company’s cash is deposited in one financial institution, and the balance may at times exceed FDIC insurance limits. The Company’s restricted cash is held in money market mutual funds with one financial institution. Management does not believe the Company is exposed to any significant credit risk on these accounts. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Finance receivables: At the time of purchase, the Acquired Portfolio was segregated into seven static accounting pools based on finance receivable type, delinquency status at acquisition and other common finance receivable risk characteristics. Four of the seven accounting pools are composed of finance receivables that were deemed to be performing at the date of acquisition. These pools are referred to as the Performing Finance Receivables. Three of the seven accounting pools were composed of finance receivables that were deemed to be credit impaired at the date of acquisition. These pools are referred to as the Credit Impaired Finance Receivables.

Performing finance receivables and revenue recognition: The Performing Finance Receivables consisted of two pools of accounts from the Acquired Portfolio with revolving credit privileges and two pools of closed-end finance receivables.

The revolver pools consisted of finance receivables from the Acquired Portfolio with an unpaid principal balance of $2.1 billion at acquisition with an allocated purchase price of $1.8 billion. The discount between the allocated cost of these pools and the associated contractual receivable balance of the accounts is accreted into income on a straight-line basis over a period of 120 months. The closed-end pools consisted of finance receivables with an unpaid principal balance of $603 million at acquisition with an allocated purchase price of $423 million. The discount between the allocated cost of these pools and the associated contractual receivable balance is accreted into income on the interest method over the expected term of the receivables.

The Company accounts for its investment in the closed-end Performing Finance Receivables using the interest method in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accrual of interest income on these finance receivables is suspended when the fourth contractual payment becomes past due on the account. The Company reverses previously accrued interest upon suspension of interest. The Company recognizes the contractual interest portion of payments received on nonaccrual finance receivables as finance charges at the time of receipt. The accrual of interest income is not resumed until the fourth contractual payment on the account is no longer past due, at which time management considers collectability to be probable. Accrued interest receivable is included as a component of net finance receivables on the combined balance sheet.

Credit impaired finance receivables and revenue recognition: The Credit Impaired Finance Receivables consisted of three pools from the Acquired Portfolio which were deemed to be credit impaired due to the fact that the receivables were greater than 60 days contractually delinquent on the acquisition date or the accounts had been modified prior to acquisition. The Credit Impaired Finance Receivables consisted of finance receivables from the Acquired Portfolio with an unpaid principal balance of $1.2 billion at acquisition with an allocated purchase price of $749 million. Each pool of Credit Impaired Finance Receivables was recorded at its allocated purchase price which approximated fair value.

The Company accounts for its investment in the Credit Impaired Finance Receivables using the accrual method under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310−30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Income on finance receivables is accrued monthly based on each Credit Impaired Pool’s effective accretion rate applied to each static pool’s monthly opening carrying value. Quarterly cash flows greater than the interest accrual will reduce the carrying value of the static pool. Likewise, cash flows that are less than the interest accrual will accrete the carrying value of the static pool. A pool can become fully amortized (zero carrying balance on the combined balance sheet) while still generating cash collections.

In this case, all cash collections are recognized as revenue when received and are presented as a component of interest income on the combined statement of operations.

For the Credit Impaired Pools in the Acquired Portfolio accounted for under ASC 310-30, the expected cash flows are determined on a pool basis based on the anticipated collections of these finance receivables. The excess of the cash flows expected to be collected on the Credit Impaired Pools in the Acquired Portfolio over the discounted cash flows (the accretable yield) are accreted into interest income at a level rate of return over the expected lives of the underlying pools. The Company has established

policies and procedures to periodically (at least once a quarter) update the amount of cash flows the Company expects to collect, incorporating assumptions regarding default rates, loss severities, the amounts and timing of prepayments and other factors that are reflective of then current market conditions. Probable decreases in expected finance receivable principal cash flows result in recognition of impairment, which is recognized through the provision for finance receivable losses. Probable and significant increases in expected cash flows to be collected would first reverse any previously recorded allowance for finance receivable losses; any remaining increases are recognized prospectively as adjustments to the respective pool’s yield. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the contractual amounts owed, which includes principal, accrued interest and fees of the Credit Impaired Pools in the Acquired Portfolio was $628.1 million and $851.2 million, respectively.

Provision for finance receivable losses: Provision for finance receivable losses on the Performing Finance Receivables is charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain an allowance for finance receivable losses at an adequate level to cover probable credit losses incurred in finance receivables. The allowance is calculated based on historical loss rates and consideration of the unamortized acquisition discount. Finance receivable loss experience, contractual delinquency of finance receivables, current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay and management’s judgment are factors used in assessing the overall adequacy of the allowance and resulting provision for finance receivable losses.

The Company established allowances for all applicable Credit Impaired Finance Receivable pools to reflect only those losses incurred after acquisition. Allowances are established only subsequent to acquisition of the accounts based on decreases in expected cash flows.

The Company generally charges off to the allowance for finance receivable losses finance receivables that are beyond 180 days past due on a contractual basis. However, finance receivables may be charged off earlier or later based on management review and evaluation of individual circumstances. In November 2014, the Company revised its estimate related to charge-offs of accounts of customers in bankruptcy status. Prior to this change, the Company did not charge off accounts of customers in bankruptcy status until such time that the finance receivable was dismissed or discharged by the bankruptcy court. Since November 2014, the Company charges off accounts of customers in bankruptcy for which regular payments are not being received in accordance with its general charge off policy, whereby such accounts that are beyond 180 days past due on a contractual basis will be charged off.

This change resulted in an increase to the provision for finance receivable losses of $2.2 million during the month of November 2014.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Troubled debt restructurings: The Company may make modifications to finance receivables to assist borrowers in avoiding default and to mitigate the risk of loss. When the Company modifies a finance receivable’s contractual term for economic or other reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties and grants a significant concession that the Company would not otherwise consider, the Company classifies that loan as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) finance receivable. The Company restructures finance receivables only if the Company believes the customer has the ability to pay under the restructured terms for the foreseeable future. The Company does not classify Credit Impaired Finance Receivables as TDR finance receivables.

Debt issuance costs, net: The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the issuance of debt. The costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the expected term of the related debt, updated for changes in expected cash flows. Costs are presented net of accumulated amortization on the combined balance sheet. Amortization of these costs is included as a component of interest expense on the combined statement of operations.

Debt issuance discount: The issuance discount on the Company’s securitized debt is amortized using the effective interest method over the expected term of the related debt, updated for changes in expected cash flows. Amortization is included as a component of interest expense on the combined statement of operations.

Long-term debt: The Company generally reports long-term debt issuances at face value of the debt instrument, which is adjusted for any unamortized discount or premium associated with the debt. The Company records long-term debt issuances that include an embedded derivative and for which it is impracticable for the Company to isolate and/or value the derivative at fair value and recognize any unrecognized gains or losses in earnings.

2013-A Class B Notes: The Company determined that the 2013-A Class B Notes were a financial instrument that contained an embedded derivative. The Company elected to measure the 2013-A Class B Notes, at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in current earnings. This election was made in lieu of bifurcating and separately reporting the fair value of the embedded derivative financial instrument.

The Company elected to separate the interest expense from the full change in fair value of the 2013-A Class B Notes and present such amounts in interest expense. The remainder of the change in fair

value is presented in a separate line item in the statement of operations titled fair value adjustment for securitized debt. The Company repaid the 2013-A Class B Notes on October 3, 2014.

Debt extinguishment: On October 3, 2014, the Company issued the 2014-A securitized debt and repaid the 2013-A Class A and Class B Notes. In connection with these transactions, the Company distributed $1.1 billion to its members. These distributions were in excess of the members’ contributions and retained earnings due to the additional securitized debt obtained by the Company. These distributions did not represent a loan to the members as there is no interest owed by the members to the Company and the members do not have an obligation to return the amounts distributed to the Company. The Indenture for the 2014-A securitized debt limits the remedies available to the holders of the 2014-A Notes in the event of a default to the sale of the assets of the Company. The Company does not believe the members deficit raises substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern due to the structure of the 2014-A securitized debt, which requires principal payments based upon the reduction in the outstanding principal balance of the Acquired Portfolio and the cash flows expected to be collected on the Acquired Portfolio.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Servicing expenses: The Company does not service any of the Acquired Portfolio, therefore the Company incurs costs from other entities for the servicing of the acquired receivables. HSBC serviced the finance receivable portfolio as an interim servicer from the acquisition date through September 1, 2013. Thereafter, the finance receivable portfolio is being serviced by SFI, a related party.

Income taxes: SC America, SC Credit, SC Finance, and SCA are all multi-member limited liability companies; therefore, each entity’s members account for each entity’s items of income, deductions and losses on their corporate tax returns. The Company is not subject to federal income tax under the applicable section of the Internal Revenue Code, and accordingly the Company has not recorded a provision for federal income taxes.

Subsequent events: The Company has evaluated its subsequent events (events occurring after December 31, 2014) through February 25, 2015, which represents the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Accounting pronouncements issued, not yet adopted: In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting standards update (ASU) 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period, and disclose in its financial statements whether there is substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The new standard applies to all companies and is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and all annual and interim periods thereafter. The new standard can also be early adopted. Upon adoption, the Company will perform the going concern assessment in accordance with the requirements of the new ASU. Management does not believe this new standard will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

changes in the borrower’s financial circumstances; or any other default by the borrower of any material obligation under the agreement. Unused lines of credit on home equity lines of credit secured with subordinated residential real estate mortgages can be terminated for delinquency. Unused lines of credit on unsecured loans can be terminated at management’s discretion. At December 31, 2014 and

For the Performing Pools in the Acquired Portfolio accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310-20 Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, prepayments result in the recognition of the accretable balance as current period yield. Changes in prepayment assumptions may change the

amount of interest income and principal expected to be collected. The amount of accretion of acquisition discount reported in earnings on performing finance receivables was $60.4 million and $56.3 million for the year ending December 31, 2014 and for the period ended December 31, 2013, respectively.

The below summarizes the Credit Impaired Pools that were part of the Acquired Portfolio at acquisition:



Contractually required principal and interest at acquistion	$	1,858,408
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (nonaccretable discount)	671,954
Expected cash flows at acquisition	1,186,454
Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable discount)	437,604
Fair value of acquired finance receivables	$	748,850

Accretable discount represents the amount of income the Company expects to generate over the remaining life of its Credit Impaired Pools based on estimated future cash flows as of the acquisition or balance sheet date. Changes in accretable discount for the year ending December 31, 2014 and the period ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:



Balance, April 1, 2013	$	—
Additions	437,604
Reclassification from nonaccretable difference	73,987
Accretion of acquisition discount	(85,497		)

Release of accretable yield (a)	(43,409		)
Accretion of acquisition discount	(97,342		)
Balance, December 31, 2014	$	451,983


(a)	Amount represents the release of the accretable yield for one of the Credit Impaired Pools which became fully amortized during November 2014. This pool is now accounted for under the cost recovery method of accounting, whereby the cash received on the pool is recorded within interest income in the combined statements of operations.

receivables evaluated collectively for impairment, before
allowance for finance receivable losses	0.01		%	0.05		%

Allowance for finance receivable losses as a percent of
TDR net finance receivables	26.99		%	0.00		%

ASC 310-30 requires that the Company continue to estimate cash flows expected to be collected over the life of each pool of Credit Impaired Finance Receivables. Upon subsequent evaluation, if it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all cash flows expected at acquisition plus additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition, the pool is evaluated for impairment. In any given period, the Company may be required to record allowances due to pools of receivables underperforming expectations. Factors that may contribute to the recording of allowances may include both internal as well as external factors. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has not recorded any allowance on the Credit Impaired Pools given the performance of the underlying finance receivables.

The Company considers the contractual delinquency status and nonperforming status of the finance receivable as the primary credit quality indicators. The Company monitors delinquency trends to manage exposure to credit risk. The Company considers finance receivables 60 days or more past due as delinquent.

Note 4.	Pledged Assets and Debt

In connection with the acquisition of the Acquired Portfolio, on April 1, 2013, the Co-Issuer LLCs sold, in a private securitization transaction, $2.2 billion of 2013-A Class A notes backed by the acquired finance receivables. The 2013-A Class A Notes were acquired by initial purchasers for $2.2 billion less a $10.0 million advance reserve requirement. Interest accrued on the 2013-A Class A notes at 3.75%.

The Co-Issuer LLCs initially retained subordinated 2013-A Class B Notes with a principal balance of $372 million at acquisition. During September 2013, the Co-Issuer LLCs sold the previously retained 2013-A Class B Notes for $357.1 million. The proceeds from the issuance of the 2013-A Class B Notes were distributed to the Company’s members as a return of capital based on each member’s initial equity contribution.

On October 3, 2014, the Co-Issuer LLCs sold, in a private transaction, $2.6 billion of 2014-A notes, which were issued in four classes. A portion of the proceeds from issuance of the Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes and Class D Notes was used to repay the notes issued in connection with the 2013-A securitization. The repayment of the 2013-A Class A and Class B notes was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. A pre-payment penalty of $11.0 million was paid in connection with the extinguishment of the 2013-A Class A Notes and an additional $10.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs were expensed in connection with the extinguishment. There was no pre-payment penalty associated with the 2013-A Class B Notes and there was no loss on the extinguishment of the 2013-A Class B Notes because the fair value of the 2013-A Class B Notes was equal to the principal balance owed at the time of extinguishment. The loss on debt extinguishment is presented as a separate line item in the combined statement of operations.

The 2014-A Class A Notes were acquired by initial purchasers for $1.6 billion, which included a $0.1 million issuance discount. The stated maturity date is May 2023 and interest accrues at 2.70%.

The 2014-A Class B Notes were acquired by initial purchasers for $426.9 million, which included a $0.1 million issuance discount. The stated maturity date is October 2027 and interest accrues at 4.61%.

The 2014-A Class C Notes were acquired by initial purchasers for a total of $331.1 million, which included a $0.1 million issuance discount. A related entity acquired $231.6 million, while the other $99.5 million was acquired by third parties. The stated maturity date on the 2014-A Class C notes is October 2033 and interest accrues at 5.59%.

The 2014-A Class D Notes were acquired by initial purchasers for $199.8 million, which included a $0.1 million issuance discount. A related entity acquired $130.8 million, while the other $69.0 million was acquired by third parties. The stated maturity date on the 2014-A Class D Notes is April 2034 and interest accrues at 6.82%.

The Co-Issuer LLCs have retained subordinated 2014-A Class E Notes with a principal balance of $61.6 million. The stated maturity date is April 2035 and interest accrues at 6.82%.

The 2013 Acquired Portfolio is pledged as collateral for the 2014-A securitized debt. All four classes, Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D Notes (collectively as 2014-A securitized debt) are expected to become due and to be paid prior to the stated maturity dates based on the estimated amortization of the finance receivables pledged.

The terms of the agreements related to the issuance of the 2014-A and 2013-A notes requires certain funds be held in restricted cash accounts to provide additional collateral for the borrowings or to be

applied to make payments on the debt. SFI, as servicer, has established a reserve account per the 2014-A debt agreements with an initial funding of $13.7 million and $12.9 million outstanding at December 31, 2014. The 2013-A agreements required a minimum of $10.0 million to provide this extra collateral. The 2014-A agreements also require a minimum of $5.0 million as extra collateral to fund intra-month draws. The Company records these amounts as restricted cash on the combined balance sheet. In addition, collections in the amount of approximately $63.9 million and $163.8 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are restricted for purpose of servicing the debt are also presented as restricted cash on the combined balance sheets.

The Co-Issuer LLCs may, at their option, redeem and retire the 2014-A notes on or after the payment date occurring in October 2015. The redemption price for any redemption occurring between October 2015 and October 2016 is 101% of the 2014-A Class A Note balance, 100.75% of the Class B Note balance, 101% of the Class C Note balance, and 102% of the Class D Note balance, plus accrued interest and fees. The redemption price for any redemption occurring subsequent to October 2016 is 100% of the respective note balance plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees.

Additionally, at any time after the principal balance of the 2014-A notes is reduced to 20% or less of the balance at issuance, SFI may purchase the finance receivables pledged as collateral for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest, and any expenses, indemnification amounts or other reimbursements owed to the securitization trustee.

The 2014-A Notes require compliance with certain covenants, such as minimum reserve account

balances. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.


Note 5.	Related Party Transactions

On April 1, 2013, SFI entered into a servicing agreement with the Company and the loan trustee whereby SFI agreed to service the finance receivables in the portfolio on the servicing transfer date, September 1, 2013. The amount of servicing fees to SFI for the period from September 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 was $31.2 million. An amended servicing agreement between SFI, the Company and the loan trustee was entered into on October 3, 2014 in connection with the sale of the 2014-A notes. The amount of servicing fees to SFI for the year ending December 31, 2014 was $66.2 million.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded due to related entities in the amount of approximately $7.3 million and $22.3 million, respectively, due to SFI. These amounts are the result of servicing of the Company’s finance receivable portfolio performed by SFI.

On October 3, 2014, SAC purchased $231.7 million initial principal amount of the Company’s 2014-A Class C Notes and $130.8 million initial principal amount of the Company’s 2014-A Class D Notes. The amounts outstanding, net of issuance discount, as of December 31, 2014 were $231.6 million and $130.8 million, respectively.


Note 6.	Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company has established a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

SpringCastle America, LLC

SpringCastle Credit, LLC

SpringCastle Acquisition, LLC

Notes to Combined Financial Statements (dollars in thousands)

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, discount values, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data correlation or other means.

Level 3: Inputs include unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that would reflect an entity’s own determination about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches within the ASC 820 fair value measurement framework. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value:

Cash: The carrying amount reported in the combined balance sheets approximates fair value.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the combined balance sheets approximates fair value. The fair value of restricted cash held in money market mutual funds is based on quoted market prices of the underlying shares held in the mutual funds and is measured using Level 1 inputs.

Finance receivables: The fair value of finance receivables is measured using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of net finance receivables, less the allowance for finance receivable losses, both non-impaired and purchased credit impaired, was determined using discounted cash flow methodologies. The application of these methodologies require management to make certain judgments and estimates based on their perception of market participant views related to the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the finance receivables, and other similar factors. The most significant judgments and estimates relate to prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, and discount rates. The degree of judgment and estimation applied was significant in light of the current capital markets and, more broadly, economic environments. Therefore, the fair value of the finance receivables could not be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in the valuation methodologies employed, and changes in the underlying assumptions used could significantly affect the results of current or future values.

Securitized debt: The fair value of 2013-A Notes was estimated using Level 3 inputs based on the market yield on trades of comparable debt at the end of the reporting period. The most significant judgments and estimates relate to yield, which is impacted by the interest rate and credit sensitivities of the underlying collateral pool. Management obtained a broker quote as best representation of estimated fair value. The fair value of the 2014-A Notes is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on market yield trades in the secondary market of the 2014-A Notes. Management obtained a broker quote as best representation of estimated fair value.
