FHN recognizes all classes of mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) at fair value. Classes of MSR are established based on market inputs used to determine the fair value of the servicing asset and FHN's risk management practices. See Note 17 – Fair Value of Assets & Liabilities, the “Determination of Fair Value” section for a discussion of FHN's MSR valuation methodology and Note 15 – Derivatives for a discussion of how FHN hedges the fair value of MSR. The balance of MSR included on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Condition represents the rights to service approximately $15 billion and $20 billion of mortgage loans on September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for which a servicing right has been capitalized.

In third quarter 2013, FHN agreed to sell its legacy mortgage servicing. Completion of the sale is contingent upon customary closing conditions and will result in de-recognition of substantially all first lien MSR.

Following is a summary of changes in capitalized MSR as of September 30, 2013 and 2012:

Servicing, late, and other ancillary fees recognized within mortgage banking income were $10.9 million and $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $35.3 million and $46.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. FHN services a portfolio of mortgage loans related to transfers by other parties utilizing securitization trusts. The servicing assets represent FHN's sole interest in these transactions. The total MSR recognized by FHN related to these transactions was $1.4 million and $1.7 million at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The aggregate principal balance serviced by FHN for these transactions was $.2 billion at September 30, 2013 and $.4 billion at September 30, 2012. FHN has no obligation to provide financial support and has not provided any form of support to the related trusts. The MSR recognized by FHN has been included in the first lien mortgage loans column within the rollforward of MSR.

In prior periods, FHN transferred MSR to third parties in transactions that did not qualify for sales treatment due to certain recourse provisions that were included within the sale agreements. On September 30, 2013 and 2012, FHN had $11.7 million and $11.6 million, respectively, of MSR related to these transactions. These MSR are included within the first liens mortgage loans column within the rollforward of MSR. The proceeds from these transfers have been recognized within Other short-term borrowings in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Condition.
