Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. ("Flagstar" or the "Company"), including its wholly owned principal subsidiary, Flagstar Bank, FSB (the "Bank"), have been prepared using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for a full year presentation and certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These interim financial statements are unaudited and include, in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods indicated, which are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which is available on the Company’s website, at flagstar.com, and on the SEC website, at sec.gov. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Available-for-sale securities
Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains reported as a component of other comprehensive income and unrealized losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income to the extent they are temporary in nature. Credit related declines in the securities are classified as other-than-temporary impairments ("OTTI") and are reported as a separate component of noninterest income within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. An impaired investment security is considered to be other than temporary if (1) the Company intends to sell the security; (2) it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover all contractually required principal and interest payments.
The Company purchased $72 million and $724 million of investment securities, which included agency securities, comprised of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The Company purchased $464 million and $669 million of investment securities, which included agency securities comprised of mortgage-backed securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Note 3 – Loans Held-for-Sale
Essentially all of our mortgage loans originated as loans held-for-sale are sold into the secondary market on a whole loan basis or by securitizing the loans into securities. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, loans held-for-sale totaled $2.0 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported net gain on loan sales of $83 million and $174 million, respectively, as compared to $55 million and $100 million net gain on loan sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $33 million and $48 million, respectively, of loans held-for-sale were recorded at lower of cost or fair value. The remainder of the loans in the portfolio are recorded at fair value as the Company elected the fair value option.
Note 4 – Loans with Government Guarantees
Substantially all of loans with government guarantees continue to be insured or guaranteed by the FHA. These loans earn interest at a rate based upon the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rate at the time the underlying loan becomes delinquent, which is not paid until claimed.
At June 30, 2015, loans with government guarantees actually repurchased totaled $592 million and were classified as loans with government guarantees. At December 31, 2014, loans with government guarantees actually repurchased totaled $1.1 billion and were classified as loans with government guarantees.

At June 30, 2015, repossessed assets and the associated claims recorded in other assets totaled $267 million and at December 31, 2014 repossessed assets and the associated claims were $373 million included in loans with government guarantees.

During the second quarter 2015, the Company sold interest-only residential first mortgage loans with unpaid principal balances totaling $386 million, along with $70 million of nonperforming and troubled debt restructured first mortgage loans. Upon a change in the Company’s intent, the loans were transferred to held-for-sale and subsequently sold resulting in a loss on sale of $1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had $350 million of troubled debt restructured residential first mortgage loans with a specifically identified reserve of $76 million. During the first quarter 2015, the Company re-measured this specifically identified reserve relating to the troubled debt restructured loans, resulting in a $36 million reduction in reserve based on a change in expected future cash flows. During the first quarter 2015, the Company changed its intent to hold these loans for investment and instead decided to hold these loans for sale. The loans for which the intent changed had an approximate unpaid principal balance of $331 million, including approximately $291 million of troubled debt restructured residential first mortgage loans, and $30 million in specifically identified reserves at the time this intent was changed. These loans were transferred to loans held-for-sale and subsequently sold resulting in a loss on sale of less than $1 million during the first quarter 2015.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company sold nonperforming, troubled debt restructured residential first mortgage and residential first mortgage jumbo loans with unpaid principal balances totaling $547 million. A portion of the allowance for loan losses associated with these loans was reduced, resulting in a $2 million reduction in allowance. Upon a change in the Company’s intent, the loans were transferred to held-for-sale and subsequently sold resulting in a gain on sale of $5 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company purchased $197 million of HELOC loans with a premium of $7 million.
The Company has pledged certain loans held-for-investment, loans held-for-sale, and loans with government guarantees to collateralize lines of credit and/or borrowings with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the Federal Home
10
Loan Bank of Indianapolis. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company pledged $5.0 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively.

The allowance for loan losses, other than for loans that have been identified for individual evaluation for impairment, is determined on a loan pool basis by grouping loan types with similar risk characteristics to determine the Company's best estimate of incurred losses. Management evaluates the results of the allowance for loan losses model and makes qualitative adjustments to the results of the model when it is determined that model results do not reflect all losses inherent in the loan portfolios due to changes in recent economic trends and conditions, or other relevant factors.
For those loans not individually evaluated for impairment, management has sub-divided the commercial and consumer loans into portfolios with common risk characteristics.

Loans held-for-investment and loans held-for-sale on which interest accruals have been discontinued totaled approximately $79 million and $135 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and $120 million at June 30, 2014. Interest income is recognized on impaired loans using a cost recovery method unless amounts contractually due are not in doubt. Interest that would have been accrued on impaired loans totaled approximately $1 million and $3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $2 million and $3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no loans 90 days past due and still accruing.
Troubled Debt Restructuring
The Company may modify certain loans in both consumer and commercial loan portfolios to retain customers or to maximize collection of the outstanding loan balance. The Company has programs designed to assist borrowers by extending payment dates or reducing the borrower's contractual payments. All loan modifications are made on a case-by-case basis. The Company's standards relating to loan modifications consider, among other factors, minimum verified income requirements, cash flow analysis, and collateral valuations. TDRs result in those instances in which a borrower demonstrates financial difficulty and for which a concession has been granted, which includes reductions of interest rate, extensions of amortization period, principal and/or interest forgiveness and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure
13
or repossession of collateral. These loans are classified as TDRs and are included in nonaccrual loans if the loan was nonperforming prior to the restructuring. These loans will continue on nonaccrual status until the borrower has established a willingness and ability to make the restructured payments for at least six months, after which they will begin to accrue interest.
The following table provides a summary of TDRs outstanding by type and performing status.

(2) | Includes $30 million of TDR loans accounted for under the fair value option at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. |
Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in the full collection of principal and interest, as modified, but may give rise to potential incremental losses. Such losses are factored into the Company's allowance for loan losses estimate. Management evaluates loans for impairment both collectively and individually depending on the risk characteristics underlying the loan and the availability of data. The Company measures impairment using the discounted cash flow method for performing TDRs and measures impairment based on collateral values for re-defaulted TDRs.

Credit Quality
The Company utilizes an internal risk rating system in accordance with the Rating Credit Risk booklet of the Comptroller's Handbook, April 2011 and the Uniform Retail Credit classification and Account Management Policy issued June 20, 2000 by the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (FFIEC) which is applied to all consumer and commercial loans. Commercial credits are classified using a risk-based approach by assigning a risk rating individually to each loan. Management conducts periodic examinations which serve as an independent verification of the accuracy of the ratings assigned. Loan grades are based on different factors within the borrowing relationship: entity sales, debt service coverage, debt/total net
16
worth, liquidity, balance sheet and income statement trends, management experience, business stability, financing structure of the deal, and financial reporting requirements. The underlying collateral is also rated based on the specific type of collateral and corresponding LTV. The combination of the borrower and collateral risk ratings result in the final rating for the borrowing relationship. Descriptions of the Company's internal risk ratings as they relate to credit quality follow the ratings used by the U.S. bank regulatory agencies as listed below.
Pass. Pass assets are not impaired nor do they have any known deficiencies that could impact the quality of the asset.
Watch. Watch assets are defined as pass rated assets that exhibit elevated risk characteristics or other factors that deserve management’s close attention and increased monitoring. However, the asset does not exhibit a potential or well-defined weakness that would warrant a downgrade to criticized or adverse classification.
Special mention. Assets identified as special mention possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management's close attention. Special mention assets have a potential weakness or pose an unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the assets and increase risk in the future. Special mention assets are criticized, but do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard. Assets identified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. For HELOC loans and other consumer loans, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the aging and status of payment activity and includes all nonperforming loans.
Commercial Loans
Management conducts periodic examinations which serve as an independent verification of the accuracy of the ratings assigned. Loan grades are based on different factors within the borrowing relationship: entity sales, debt service coverage, debt/total net worth, liquidity, balance sheet and income statement trends, management experience, business stability, financing structure of the deal, and financial reporting requirements. The underlying collateral is also rated based on the specific type of collateral and corresponding LTV. The combination of the borrower and collateral risk ratings result in the final rating for the borrowing relationship.
Consumer Loans
The same rating principles are used for consumer and commercial loans, but the principles are applied differently for consumer loans. Consumer loans consists of open and closed end loans extended to individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures, and includes consumer loans, loans to individuals secured by their personal residence, including first mortgage, home equity, and home improvement loans. Because consumer loans are usually relatively small-balance, homogeneous exposures, consumer loans are rated primarily on payment performance. Payment performance is a proxy for the strength of repayment capacity and loans are generally classified based on their payment status rather than by an individual review of each loan.
In accordance with regulatory guidance, the Company assigns risk ratings to consumer loans in the following manner:
•Consumer loans are classified as Watch once the loan becomes 60 days past due.
•Open and closed-end consumer loans 90 days or more past due are classified Substandard.

Note 6 – Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")
Due to the Assured Settlement Agreement in 2013, the Company became the primary beneficiary and reconsolidated the FSTAR 2005-1 and the FSTAR 2006-2 HELOC securitization trust's assets and liabilities. The Company had elected the fair value option for these assets and liabilities.
The Company has consolidated VIEs, which consist of the HELOC securitization trusts formed in 2006. The Company has determined the trust is VIEs and has concluded that the Company is the primary beneficiary of this trust because it has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly affect the entity's economic performance and has either the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company has the power to select the servicer of the whole loans held in the HELOC securitization trust. The beneficial owners of the trust can look only to the assets of the securitization trust for satisfaction of the debt issued by the securitization trust.
In June 2015, the Company executed a clean-up call of the FSTAR 2005-1 long-term debt associated with the HELOC securitization trust. The transaction resulted in a cash payment of $24 million to the debt bondholders. After payment of the debt, the FSTAR 2005-1 HELOC securitization trust has been dissolved as of second quarter 2015.

The economic performance of the VIE is most significantly impacted by the performance of the underlying loans. The principal risks to which the entities were exposed include credit risk and interest-rate risk.
FSTAR 2007-1 mortgage securitization trust is an unconsolidated VIE. The Company has a continuing involvement, but is not the primary beneficiary and de-recognized the assets upon transfer. In accordance with the settlement agreement with MBIA, there is no further recourse to the Company related to FSTAR 2007-1. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FSTAR 2007-1 mortgage securitization trust included 3,303 loans and 3,624 loans, respectively, with an aggregate principal balance of $128 million and $141 million, respectively.
Note 7 – Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Company has investments in mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") to support mortgage strategies and to deploy capital at acceptable returns. The Company also utilizes derivatives and other fair value assets as economic hedges to offset changes in the fair value of the MSRs resulting from the actual or anticipated changes in prepayments stemming from changing interest rate environments. The Company's portfolio of MSRs is highly sensitive to movements in interest rates. The primary risk associated with MSRs is the potential value as a result of higher than anticipated prepayments due to loan refinancing prompted, in part, by declining interest rates. Conversely, these assets generally increase in value in a rising interest rate environment to the extent that prepayments are slower than anticipated. There is also a risk of valuation decline due to higher than expected increases in default rates, which the Company does not believe can be effectively hedged. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein, for additional information regarding the instruments utilized to hedge the risks of MSRs.

Changes in the carrying value of residential first mortgage MSRs, accounted for at fair value, were as follows.

(1) | Changes in fair value are included within net return on mortgage servicing asset on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
(2) | Represents estimated MSR value change resulting primarily from market-driven changes in interest rates. |
The fair value of residential MSRs is estimated using a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs, and other economic factors, which are determined based on current market conditions. The Company obtains independent third-party valuations of its residential MSRs on a quarterly basis to assess the reasonableness of the fair value calculated by the valuation model. In certain circumstances, based on the probability of the completion of a sale of MSRs pursuant to a bona-fide purchase offer, the Company considers the bid price of that offer and identifiable transaction costs in comparison to the calculated fair value and may adjust the estimate of fair value to reflect the terms of the pending transaction.

The following table summarizes the hypothetical effect on the fair value of servicing rights carried at fair value using adverse changes of 10 percent and 20 percent to the weighted-average of certain significant assumptions used in valuing these assets.

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. Changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. To isolate the effect of the specified change, the fair value shock analysis is consistent with the identified adverse change, while holding all other assumptions impacting the fair value constant on the fair value of the servicing rights. In practice, changes in one assumption generally impacts other assumptions, which may either magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company maintains a derivative portfolio of interest rate swaps, futures and forward commitments used to manage exposure to changes in interest rates, MSR asset values and to meet the needs of customers. The Company also enters into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. Market risk on interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held-for-sale is managed using corresponding forward sale commitments.
The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to its various derivative financial instruments. The Company believes that the credit risk inherent in all its derivative contracts is minimal based on credit standards and the netting and collateral provisions of the interest rate swap agreements. The contracts in this portfolio do not qualify for hedge accounting and are marked-to-market through earnings and included in other assets and other liabilities at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, after taking into account the effects of legally enforceable bilateral collateral and master netting agreements.
Fair values of derivative instruments represent the net unrealized gains or losses on such contracts and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The net gains recognized in income on derivative instruments, net of the impact of offsetting positions, were as follows.

Note 10 – Long-Term Debt
The Company sponsored nine trust subsidiaries, including the consolidated VIEs, which issued trust preferred securities to third-party investors and loaned the proceeds to the Company in the form of junior subordinated notes included in long-term debt. The notes held by each trust are the sole assets of that trust. Distributions on the trust preferred securities of each trust are payable quarterly at a rate equal to the interest being earned by the trust on the notes held by these trusts.
The following table presents the carrying value on each junior subordinated note and VIE, along with the related interest rates of the long-term debt as of the dates indicated.

Trust Preferred Securities
The trust preferred securities outstanding are callable by the Company and are junior subordinated notes. The interest is payable quarterly; however, the Company may defer interest payments for up to 20 quarters without default or penalty. In January 2012, the Company exercised its contractual rights to defer its interest payments with respect to trust preferred securities. The payments are periodically evaluated and will be reinstated when appropriate, subject to the provisions of the Company's Supervisory Agreement and Consent Order. At June 30, 2015, the Company has deferred for 14 quarters and has $24 million accrued for these deferred interest payments.

Notes Associated with Consolidated VIEs
As previously discussed in Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein, the Company determined it was the primary beneficiary of VIEs associated with HELOC securitizations and such VIEs proceeds from the HELOC assets are therefore consolidated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The assets in the securitization trust are utilized to repay the outstanding debt of the securitization trust. The Company has elected the fair value option for the debt and changes in fair value are recorded to "other noninterest income" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Fair value is estimated using quantitative models which incorporate observable and, in some instances, unobservable inputs including security prices, interest rate yield curves, option volatility, currency, commodity or equity rates, and correlations between these inputs. The Company also considers the impact of its own observable credit spreads in the secondary bond markets in determining the discount rate used to value these liabilities. See Note 17 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein, for additional recurring fair value disclosures.
The final legal maturity of the long-term debt associated with the VIE is June 2019; however ,this debt agreement has a contractual provision that allows for a clean-up call of the debt when less than 10 percent of the balance remains outstanding.

At the time a loan is sold, an estimate of the fair value of such loss associated with the mortgage loans is recorded in the representation and warranty reserve in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and charged against the net gain on loan sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Subsequent to the sale, the liability is re-measured on an ongoing basis based on an estimate of probable future losses. Changes in the estimate are recorded in the representation and warranty provision on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 12 – Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock and Other Warrants
On January 30, 2009, the Company sold to the U.S. Treasury 266,657 shares of Series C fixed rate cumulative non-convertible perpetual preferred stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") and a warrant to purchase up to approximately 1 million shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $62.00 per share (the "Warrant") for $267 million. The issuance and the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock and Warrant were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Series C Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and currently pays cumulative dividends quarterly at a rate of 9 percent per annum. The Warrant is exercisable through 2019.
In 2013 the U.S. Treasury sold the Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants which are now held by unrelated third-party investors and are no longer held by the U.S. government under the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The warrants are valued utilizing the equity method.
Preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 and a liquidation value of $1,000 and additional paid in capital attributable to preferred stock at June 30, 2015 is summarized as follows.
Rate | Earliest Redemption Date | Shares Outstanding | Preferred Shares | Additional Paid in Capital | |||||||||||

Note 13 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share, excluding dilution, are computed by dividing (loss) earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that could then share in the earnings of the Company.

Under the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock the Company may defer dividend payments. The Company elected to defer dividend payments beginning with the February 2012 dividend. Although not included in quarterly net income (loss) from continuing operations, the deferral still impacts net income (loss) applicable to common stock for the purpose of calculating earnings per share, as shown above. The cumulative amount in arrears as of June 30, 2015 is $71 million.
Note 14 – Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes in interim periods requires the Company to make a best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. This estimated effective tax rate is then applied to interim consolidated pre-tax operating income to determine the interim provision for income taxes.

As of each reporting date, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence, including any annual limitations to the realization of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards, that could impact the view with regard to realization of deferred tax assets. The Company continues to believe it is more likely than not that the benefit for federal deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company continues to believe it is more likely than not that the benefit for certain state deferred tax assets will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, the Company continues to provide a partial valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets relating to state deferred tax assets.
The Company believes that it is unlikely that the unrecognized tax benefits will change by a material amount during the next 12 months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Note 15 — Regulatory Matters
Regulatory Capital
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that could have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. On January 1, 2015, the Basel III rules became effective and include transition provisions through 2018. Under Basel III, Total capital consists of two tiers of capital, Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 1 capital is further composed of common equity Tier 1 capital and additional Tier 1 capital.
To be categorized as "well capitalized," the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum tangible capital, Tier 1 capital, common equity Tier 1, and total capital ratios as set forth in the table below. The Company and the Bank are considered "well capitalized" at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. There have been no conditions or events that management believes have changed the Company's or the Bank’s category.
The following table shows the regulatory capital ratios as of the dates indicated.

Note 16 – Legal Proceedings, Contingencies and Commitments
Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various pending or threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business operations. In addition, the Bank is routinely named in civil actions throughout the country by borrowers and former borrowers relating to the origination, purchase, sale, and servicing of mortgage loans. From time to time, governmental agencies also conduct investigations or examinations of various mortgage-related practices of the Bank. In the course of such investigations or examinations, the Bank cooperates with such agencies and provides information as requested.
The Company assesses the liabilities and loss contingencies in connection with such pending or threatened legal and regulatory proceedings on at least a quarterly basis and establishes accruals when the Company believes it is probable that a loss may be incurred and that the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, litigation accruals are adjusted, as appropriate, in light of additional information.
Management does not believe that the amount of any reasonably possible losses in excess of any amounts accrued with respect to ongoing proceedings or any other known claims, including the matters described below, will be material to the Company’s financial statements, or that the ultimate outcome of these actions will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company previously disclosed that it was a defendant in a shareholder derivative lawsuit filed in 2013. That lawsuit focused on the events that led up to the Company's 2012 DOJ litigation settlement, as well as the settlement itself. The lawsuit alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment by several current and former members of the Company's board of directors and executive officers and requested unspecified monetary damages. This matter has since settled and did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or the Notes thereto.
DOJ litigation settlement
Per the February 2012 DOJ litigation settlement, the Company is required to make future additional payments contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events. The Company elected the fair value option to account for this liability and uses a weighted average discounted cash flow model to measure fair value. The fair value of the DOJ litigation settlement liability was $84 million and $82 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, using a discount rate of 8.0 percent and 8.7 percent at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The undiscounted amount of the DOJ litigation settlement liability remains at $118 million at June 30, 2015.
The DOJ litigation settlement does not have any effect on FHA insured loans in the Company's portfolio, including loans classified as loans with government guarantees as discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.
31
At both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company's total accrual for contingent liabilities was $86 million, including the legal proceedings and fair value liability relating to the DOJ litigation settlement.
Commitments
A summary of the contractual amount of significant commitments is as follows.
June 30, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | ||||||
(Dollars in millions) | |||||||
Commitments to extend credit | |||||||
Mortgage loans (interest-rate lock commitments) | $ | 5,276 | $ | 2,172 | |||
HELOC commitments | 119 | 88 | |||||
Other consumer commitments | 25 | 7 | |||||
Warehouse loan commitments | 754 | 827 | |||||
Standby and commercial letters of credit | 11 | 10 | |||||
Commercial and industrial commitments | 157 | 276 | |||||
Other commercial commitments | 396 | 169 |
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash flow requirements.
The Company enters into mortgage interest-rate lock commitments with its customers. These commitments are considered to be derivative instruments and changes in the fair value of these commitments are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as other asset. Further discussion on derivative instruments is included in Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments.
The Company has unfunded commitments under its contractual arrangement with the HELOC securitization trusts to fund future advances on the underlying HELOC. Refer to further discussion of this issue as presented in Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.
Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party, while commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being drawn on when the underlying transaction is consummated between the customer and the third party.
These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk beyond the amount recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The contractual amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company's exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company utilizes the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for balance sheet instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is not a violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparties.
The Company maintains a reserve for letters of credit which is included in other liabilities, which represents the estimate for probable credit losses inherent in unfunded commitments to extend credit. Unfunded commitments to extend credit include unfunded loans with available balances, new commitments to lend that are not yet funded, and standby and commercial letters of credit. The balance of $2 million and $1 million for June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, is reflected in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Note 17 – Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value.
Valuation Hierarchy
U.S. GAAP establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The hierarchy is based on the transparency of the inputs used in the valuation process with the highest priority given to quoted prices available in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs where no active market exists, as discussed below.
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets in which the Company can participate as of the measurement date;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input within the valuation hierarchy that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Assets
Investment securities available-for-sale. These securities are comprised of U.S. government sponsored agencies and municipal obligations. The Company measures fair value using prices obtained from pricing services. A review is performed on the security prices received from the pricing services, which includes discussion and analysis of the inputs used by the pricing services to value our securities. Where possible, fair values are generated using market inputs including quoted prices (the closing price in an exchange market), bid prices (the price at which a buyer stands ready to purchase), and other market information. For fixed income securities that are not actively traded, the pricing services use alternative methods to determine fair value for the securities, including quotes for similar fixed-income securities, matrix pricing, discounted cash flow using benchmark curves or other factors to determine fair value. U.S. government sponsored agency mortgage backed securities are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, U.S. government sponsored collateralized mortgage obligation securities are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy and all other debt securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Loans held-for-sale. The Company generally estimates the fair value of loans held-for-sale based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. Where quoted market prices were available, such market prices were utilized as estimates for fair values. Otherwise, the fair value of loans was computed by discounting cash flows using observable inputs inclusive of interest rates, prepayment speeds and loss assumptions for similar collateral. These loans are classified as level 2.
Loans held-for-investment. Loans held-for-investment are generally recorded at amortized cost. Such loans are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan becomes impaired when it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Once a loan is identified as impaired, the fair value of the impaired loan is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, or discounted cash flows. The fair value of the underlying collateral is determined, where possible, using market prices derived from appraisals or broker price opinions which are considered to be level 3. The Company records the impaired loans as a non-recurring level 3 valuation. Fair value may also be measured using the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. The Company records the fair value of loans using the discounted present value of expected cash flows as non-recurring level 3 valuation.
Loans held-for-investment that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are loans that were previously recorded as loans held-for-sale but subsequently transferred to the held-for-investment category. As the Company selected the fair value
33
option for the held-for-sale loans, they continue to be reported at fair value and measured consistent with the level 2 methodology for loans held-for-sale.
The HELOC loans associated with the FSTAR 2005-1 and FSTAR 2006-2 securitization trusts have been recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statement as loans held-for-investment at fair value. The Company records these loans as a recurring level 3 valuation.
Also included in loans held-for-investment are the second mortgage loans associated with the previous FSTAR 2006-1 mortgage securitization trust. The loans are carried at fair value and valued using a discounted estimated net future cash flow model and therefore classified within the level 3 valuation hierarchy as the model utilizes significant inputs which are unobservable. See Note 6 - Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") for additional information.
Repossessed assets. Repossessed assets are measured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the repossessed asset. The fair value of repossessed assets, upon initial recognition, are estimated using level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. The significant unobservable inputs used in the level 3 fair value measurements of the Company's impaired loans and repossessed assets primarily relate to internal valuations or analysis.
Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSRs"). The current market for MSRs is not sufficiently liquid to provide participants with quoted market prices. Therefore, the Company uses an option-adjusted spread valuation approach to determine the fair value of MSRs. This approach consists of projecting servicing cash flows under multiple interest rate scenarios and discounting these cash flows using risk-adjusted discount rates. The key assumptions used in the valuation of MSRs include mortgage prepayment speeds and discount rates. Management obtains third-party valuations of the MSR portfolio on a quarterly basis from independent valuation experts to assess the reasonableness of the fair value calculated by its internal valuation model. In certain circumstances, based on the probability of the completion of a sale of MSRs pursuant to a bona-fide purchase offer, the Company considers the bid price of that offer and identifiable transaction costs in comparison to the calculated fair value and may adjust the estimate of fair value to reflect the terms of the pending transaction. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, MSRs are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Other investments. The fair value of the reverse repurchase agreement is determined by cost, which approximates the fair value. The reverse repurchase agreement is guaranteed by a third party and secured by level 2 government and agency securities which are unobservable by the Company, which are held by a third party. In case of default, the Company would receive the collateral from the third party. The reverse repurchase agreement is included in other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Derivative financial instruments. Certain classes of derivative contracts are listed on an exchange and are actively traded, and they are therefore classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. These include U.S. Treasury futures and U.S. Treasury options. The Company's forward loan sale commitments, swap futures and interest rate swaps are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in an active market with inputs that are observable and are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Rate lock commitments are valued using internal models with significant unobservable market parameters and therefore are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. The derivatives are reported in either other assets or other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Liabilities
Warrants. Warrant liabilities are valued using a binomial lattice model and are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Significant observable inputs include expected volatility, a risk free rate and an expected life. Warrant liabilities are reported in "other liabilities" on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Long-term debt. The Company records the long-term debt associated with the FSTAR 2005-1 and FSTAR 2006-2 HELOC securitization trusts at fair value. The fair value of the debt is estimated using quantitative models which incorporate observable and, in some instances, unobservable inputs including security prices, interest rate yield curves, option volatility, currency, commodity or equity rates and correlations between these inputs. The Company also considers the impact of its own credit spreads in determining the discount rate used to value these liabilities. The credit spread is determined by reference to observable spreads in the secondary bond markets, which are considered to be level 3. The Company records this debt as a recurring level 3 valuation.
34
Litigation settlement. Upon settlement of the DOJ litigation settlement, we elected the fair value option to account for the liability representing the remaining future payments. As of June 30, 2015 the fair value totaled $84 million for which we use a discounted cash flow model to determine the current fair value. The model utilizes our forecast and considers multiple scenarios and possible outcomes that impact the timing of the additional payments which are discounted using a risk free rate adjusted for nonperformance risk that represents our credit risk. These scenarios are probability weighted and consider the view of an independent market participant to estimate the most likely fair value of the liability.
The liability is classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy as the projections of earnings and growth rate assumptions are unobservable inputs which affect the estimated timing of the cash flow payments. The Company considers factors which could affect those projections from the perspective of a market participant, which is incorporated into the assessment of fair value. The litigation settlement is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and changes in the fair value of the litigation settlement will be recorded each quarter in other noninterest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

A determination to classify a financial instrument within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement. The Company manages the risk associated with the mortgage servicing rights and rate lock commitments through hedging U.S Treasury futures, forward agency and loans sales, and interest rate swaps. If the market for an instrument becomes more liquid or active and pricing models become available which allow for readily observable inputs, the Company will transfer the instruments from level 3 to level 2 valuation hierarchy. The assets and/or liabilities transferred are valued at the end of the period. Gains and losses in the tables do not reflect the effect of the Company's risk management activities related to such level 3 instruments.

Recurring Significant Unobservable Inputs
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the second mortgage loans associated with the FSTAR 2006-1 mortgage securitization trust are discount rates, prepayment rates, and default rates. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Increases in prepay rates in isolation result in a higher fair value and increases (decreases) in default rates in isolation result in a (higher) lower fair value.
At June 30, 2015, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the HELOC loans are loss severity on defaulted balance and the weighted average discount rate. For the HELOC loans, increases (decreases) in the loss
39
severity on defaulted balance, in isolation, would result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement; increases (decreases) in the weighted average discount rate, in isolation, would lower (higher) fair value measurement. For the notes (liability), increases (decreases) in the discount rate in isolation would result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement; increases (decreases) in prepayment rates in isolation results in a shorter (longer) weighted average life and ultimately a higher (lower) fair value measurement. In June 2015, the Company executed a clean-up call of the FSTAR 2005-1 long-term debt associated with the HELOC securitization trust. After payment of the debt, the FSTAR 2005-1 HELOC securitization trust has been dissolved as of June 30, 2015.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the MSRs are option adjusted spreads, prepayment rates, and cost to service. Significant increases (decreases) in all three assumptions in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
The key economic assumptions used in determining the fair value of those MSRs capitalized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 periods were as follows.
Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||
2015 | 2014 | 2015 | 2014 | ||||||||
Weighted-average life (in years) | 8.4 | 8.2 | 7.9 | 8.0 | |||||||
Weighted-average constant prepayment rate | 9.3 | % | 11.3 | % | 11.4 | % | 11.7 | % | |||
Weighted-average discount rate | 10.7 | % | 12.4 | % | 10.8 | % | 12.2 | % |
The key economic assumptions reflected in the overall fair value of the entire portfolio of MSRs were as follows.
June 30, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | ||||
Weighted-average life (in years) | 7.6 | 6.6 | |||
Weighted-average constant prepayment rate | 12.3 | % | 15.0 | % | |
Weighted-average discount rate | 10.4 | % | 10.9 | % |
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the rate lock commitments is the pull through rate. The pull through rate is a statistical analysis of the Company's actual rate lock fallout history to determine the sensitivity of the residential mortgage loan pipeline compared to interest rate changes and other deterministic values. New market prices are applied based on updated loan characteristics and new fallout ratios (i.e., the inverse of the pull through rate) are applied accordingly. Significant increases (decreases) in the pull through rate in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the DOJ litigation settlement are future balance sheet and growth rate projections for overall asset growth, MSR growth, peer group return on assets and return on assets improvement. The current assumptions are based on management's approved, strategic performance targets beyond the current strategic modeling horizon (2015). The Bank's target asset growth rate post-2015 is based on growth in the balance sheet. Significant increases (decreases) in the Bank's growth rate in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the Bank's MSR growth rate in isolation could result in a marginally lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the peer group's return on assets improvement in isolation could result in a marginally higher (lower) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the Bank's return on assets in isolation could result in a marginally higher (lower) fair value measurement.

The methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating fair value of financial instruments which are required for disclosure only, are as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Loans with government guarantees. The fair value is estimated by using internally developed discounted cash flow models using market interest rate inputs as well as management’s best estimate of spreads for similar collateral.
Loans held-for-investment. The fair value is estimated using internally developed discounted cash flow models using market interest rate inputs as well as management’s best estimate of spreads for similar collateral.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock. No secondary market exists for Federal Home Loan Bank stock. The stock is bought and sold at par by the Federal Home Loan Bank. Management believes that the recorded value equals the fair value.
43
Bank owned life insurance. The fair value of bank owned life insurance policies is based on the cash surrender values of the policies as reported by the insurance companies.
Other assets, foreclosure claims. The fair value of foreclosure claims with government guarantees approximates the carrying amount.
Deposit accounts. The fair value of deposits with no defined maturity is estimated based on a discounted cash flow model that incorporates current market rates for similar products and expected attrition. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for certificates of deposit with similar remaining maturities.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of the existing debt.
Long-term debt. The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated based on a discounted cash flow model that incorporates current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Fair Value Option
The Company elected the fair value option for certain items as discussed throughout the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to mitigate a divergence between accounting losses and economic exposure.
The following table reflects the change in fair value included in earnings (and the account recorded in) for the assets and liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected.

Note 18 – Segment Information
The Company's operations are conducted through four operating segments: Mortgage Originations, Mortgage Servicing, Community Banking and Other, which includes the remaining reported activities. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activity from which revenues are earned and expenses incurred for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by executive management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The operating segments have been determined based on the products and services offered and reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. Each segment operates under the same banking charter, but is reported on a segmented basis for this report. Each of the operating segments is complementary to each other and because of the interrelationships of the segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.
The Mortgage Originations segment originates, acquires and sells one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. The origination and acquisition of mortgage loans comprises the majority of the lending activity. Mortgage loans are originated through home loan centers, national call centers, the Internet and unaffiliated banks and mortgage banking and brokerage companies, where the net interest income and the gains from sales associated with these loans are recognized in the Mortgage Originations segment.
The Mortgage Servicing segment services and sub-services mortgage loans, on a fee basis, for others. Also, the Mortgage Servicing segment services, on a fee basis, residential mortgages held-for-investment by the Community Banking segment and mortgage servicing rights held by the Other segment. The Mortgage Servicing segment may also collect ancillary fees, such as late fees, and earns income through the use of noninterest-bearing escrows.
The Community Banking segment originates loans, provides deposits and fee based services to consumer, business, and mortgage lending customers through its Branch Banking, Business, and Commercial Banking, Government Banking, Warehouse Lending and Held-for-Investment Portfolio groups. Products offered through these teams include checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, other services, consumer loans, commercial loans, and warehouse lines of credit. Other financial services available to consumer and commercial customers include lines of credit,
45
revolving credit, customized treasury management solutions, equipment leasing, inventory, and accounts receivable lending and capital markets services such as interest rate risk protection products.
The Other segment includes the treasury functions, funding revenue associated with stockholders' equity, the impact of interest rate risk management, the impact of balance sheet funding activities, and miscellaneous other expenses of a corporate nature. Treasury functions include administering the investment securities portfolios, balance sheet funding, interest rate risk management and MSR asset valuation, certain derivative and sales into the secondary market. In addition, the Other segment includes revenue and expenses related to treasury and corporate assets and liabilities and equity not directly assigned or allocated to the Mortgage Originations, Mortgage Servicing or Community Banking operating segments.
Revenues are comprised of net interest income (before the provision for loan losses) and noninterest income. Noninterest expenses are fully allocated to each operating segment. Allocation methodologies may be subject to periodic adjustment as the internal management accounting system is revised and the business or product lines within the segments change. Also, because the development and application of these methodologies is a dynamic process, the financial results presented may be periodically revised.
The following tables present financial information by business segment for the periods indicated.

Note 19 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." Under the amended guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB has voted to approve a one-year deferral of the effective date from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018, while allowing for early adoption as of January 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, but significant disclosures to the Notes thereto will be required.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual items (Subtopic 22-20). The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or the Notes thereto.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. Under the amended guidance all reporting entities are within the scope of Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation - Overall, including limited partnerships and similar legal entities, unless a scope exception applies. The presumption that a general partner controls a limited partnership has been eliminated. The ASU is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2015, and all reporting periods thereafter. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or the Notes thereto.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30). The amendments will require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The ASU is effective prospectively or
49
retrospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or the Notes thereto.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software. The amendments in this update provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other licenses. If it does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The ASU is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2015, and all reporting periods thereafter. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or the Notes thereto.
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its equivalent). The amendments in this ASU remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Instead, those investments must be included as a reconciling line item so that the total fair value amount of investments in the disclosure is consistent with the amount on the balance sheet. Further, the ASU specifies that for purposes of calculating historical earnings per unit under the two-class method, the earnings (losses) of a transferred business before the date of a dropdown transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner. ASU 2015-07 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or the Notes thereto.
Note 20 – Restatement of Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
The Company reclassified the reporting of certain cash flows from operating, financing, and investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for each of the quarterly periods in the year ended 2014. The primary cause of the reclassifications related to cash flows associated with our nonperforming loan sales that occurred throughout 2014, which were presented as cash flows provided by operating activities but should have been included in cash flows provided by investing activities consistent with the original balance sheet classification rather than their classification at the time of sale per ASC 230-45-12. These reclassifications have no impact on the total cash flows for the periods impacted or on the beginning or ending cash balances for any of these periods. We will continue to revise future quarters to restate the 2014 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as those quarters are presented. The Company has included the comparison of the as stated and restated amounts for the period ended June 30, 2014, herein.

(3) | The adequacy of our allowance for loan losses and our representation and warranty reserves; |
(4) | Changes in accounting standards generally applicable to us and our application of such standards, including the calculation of the fair value of our assets and liabilities; |

General
We are a Michigan-based savings and loan holding company founded in 1993. Our business is primarily conducted through our principal subsidiary, the Bank, a federally chartered stock savings bank founded in 1987. At June 30, 2015, based on our assets, we are the largest bank headquartered in Michigan and one of the top 10 largest savings banks in the United States. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "FBC." We are considered a controlled company for NYSE purposes, because MP Thrift Investments, L.P. ("MP Thrift") held approximately 63.1 percent of our common stock as of June 30, 2015.
We primarily originate or purchase residential mortgage loans throughout the country and sell them into securitization pools, primarily to Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") and the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae") (collectively, the "Agencies") or as whole loans. In addition, we originate residential first mortgage loans, consumer loans, commercial loans and warehouse loans to our held-for-investment loan portfolios. Our revenues include net interest income, income from services we provide customers, and noninterest income from sales of residential first mortgage loans to the Agencies, the servicing of loans for others and the sale of servicing rights related to mortgage loans serviced for others. The combination of our home lending, broker and correspondent channels gives us broad access to customers across diverse geographies to originate, fulfill, sell and service our residential mortgage loan products.
The majority of our total loan originations during the six months ended June 30, 2015 represented mortgage loans that were collateralized by residential mortgages on single-family residences and were eligible for sale to the Agencies. At June 30, 2015, we originated residential mortgage loans through relationships with approximately 560 mortgage brokers and approximately 700 correspondents, which were located in all 50 states. At June 30, 2015, we also operated 13 retail centers located in nine states, which primarily originate one-to-four family residential mortgage loans as part of our Mortgage Originations segment.
We also originate mortgage loans through referrals from our branches, consumer direct call center and our website, flagstar.com. At June 30, 2015, we operated 100 branches in Michigan. Through our branches, we gather deposits and offer a line of consumer and commercial financial products and services to individuals and businesses. We also gather deposits on a nationwide basis through our banking group, and provide deposit and cash management services to governmental units on a relationship basis. We leverage our branches and Internet banking to cross-sell products to existing customers and increase our customer base.
At June 30, 2015, we had 2,713 full-time equivalent employees inclusive of account executives and loan officers.

Critical Accounting Policies
Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. Certain accounting policies that, due to the judgment, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies are critical to an understanding of our Consolidated Financial Statements, in Item 1. Financial Statements herein. These policies relate to: (a) fair value measurements; (b) the determination of our allowance for loan losses; and (c) the determination of our representation and warranty reserve. We believe the judgment, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes, in Item 1., are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes, in Item 1., herein, to these critical accounting policies, the use of other judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in material differences in our results of operations and/or financial condition. For further information on our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which is available on our website, flagstar.com, under the Investor Relations section, or on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission, at sec.gov.

Net income (loss) from continuing operations | $ | 46 | $ | 26 | $ | 78 | $ | (53 | ) |
Our net income (loss) from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $46 million ($0.68 per diluted share), compared to $26 million ($0.33 per diluted share) for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Our net income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $78 million ($1.11 per diluted share), compared to a loss of $53 million (loss of $1.17 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Net interest income increased $17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to growth in relatively higher yielding interest-earning assets, while maintaining a relatively stable funding cost.
Provision for loan losses improved by $136 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily driven by the two changes in estimates, which occurred in the first quarter 2014: the evaluation of current data related to the loss emergence period on our residential mortgage loan portfolio and the evaluation of the enhanced risk associated with payment resets relating to interest-only loans. Also impacting this variance was a release of reserves previously associated with the sale of interest-only residential first mortgage loans, non-performing loans and troubled debt restructured first mortgage loans during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Noninterest income increased $68 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to a $74 million increase in net gain on loan sales driven by stronger market pricing and improved business performance, partially offset by a decrease of $14 million in the net return on mortgage servicing asset.
Noninterest expense increased $17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to an increase in other noninterest expense primarily due to the benefit relating to the DOJ liability recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and loan processing expense, partially offset by a decrease in asset resolution expense from our on-going efforts to de-risk the balance sheet and the benefit of an FHA indemnification release.
Income tax provision increased $74 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, which was primarily impacted by our effort to utilize net operating loss carryforwards. We continue to monitor factors that might affect our ability to realize the full tax benefit of the net operating loss carryforwards.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the amount we earn on the average balances of our interest-earning assets, less the amount we incur on the average balances of our interest-bearing liabilities. Interest income recorded on loans is reduced by the amortization of net premiums and net deferred loan origination costs.
Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
Net interest income increased $10 million to $73 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $63 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to growth in relatively higher yielding interest-earning assets and maintained a relatively stable funding cost. Net interest income represented 36.3 percent of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 37.9 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
57
Our net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was 2.79 percent, as compared to 2.98 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was driven primarily by higher rates in Federal Home Loan Bank advances as we lengthened the duration of liabilities in 2015 and an increase in retail savings deposit accounts, partially offset by increased interest income resulting from higher average loan balances.
Interest income increased $18 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $90 million, compared to $72 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily driven by higher average investment securities and higher average loans held-for-sale and loans held-for-investment resulting from higher loan demand. Average loans held-for-investment totaled $4.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2015, increasing $1.0 billion or 26.5 percent compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. We realized solid growth in warehouse, commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loans. Average warehouse loans increased $549 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $970 million, compared to $421 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to higher line utilization and new accounts.
Interest expense increased $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $17 million, compared to $9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to increases in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and interest-bearing deposits. Average interest-bearing deposits were $6.1 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2015, increasing $0.7 billion or 12.6 percent, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. Retail deposits increased $540 million, led by growth in savings deposits, partially offset by a decline in certificates of deposit. Average Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $1.8 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $0.7 billion compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, there was an increase in borrowing costs for Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings as we lengthened the duration of liabilities in 2015. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 23 basis points to 0.79 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from 0.56 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Comparison to Prior Year to Date
Net interest income increased $17 million to $138 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $121 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to growth in relatively higher yielding interest-earning assets and maintaining a relatively stable funding cost. Net interest income represented 35.9 percent of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 40.5 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Our net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 2.77 percent, as compared to 2.97 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to the same reasons noted above.
Interest income increased $31 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $169 million, compared to $138 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the same reasons noted above. Average loans held-for-investment totaled $4.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015, increasing $0.7 billion or 18.9 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. We realized solid growth in warehouse, commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loans. Average warehouse loans increased $453 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $797 million, compared to $344 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the same reasons noted above.
Interest expense increased $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $31 million, compared to $17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the same reasons noted above. Average interest-bearing deposits were $6.1 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2015, increasing $0.7 billion or 13.5 percent, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. Retail deposits increased $0.5 billion, led by growth in savings deposits, partially offset by a decline in certificates of deposit. Average Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015 an increase of $0.5 billion compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, there was increased borrowing costs for Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings as we lengthened the duration of liabilities in 2015. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 25 basis points to 0.79 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 0.54 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses
Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
The benefit for loan losses was $13 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an improvement from the provision of $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the benefit for loan losses included a net reduction in the allowance for loan losses relating to several loan sales, including a net reduction in the allowance relating to interest-only residential first mortgage loans, partially offset by an increase in provision related to an increase in the average loans held-for-investment loan portfolio.
Net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased to $18 million, compared to $7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to loan sales. As a percentage of the average loans held-for-investment, annualized net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased to 1.49 percent from 0.78 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2014. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of the average loans held-for-investment were 0.26 percent, excluding the charge-offs related to the loan sales of $15 million.
Comparison to Prior Year to Date
The benefit for loan losses was $17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an improvement from the provision of $119 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the benefit for loan losses included a net reduction in the allowance for loan losses relating to several loan sales, including a net reduction in the allowance relating to interest-only residential first mortgage loans, partially offset by an increase related to the growth in average loans held-for-investment loan portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the provision for loan losses included two changes in estimates that occurred in the first quarter 2014, which increased the provision: the evaluation of data related to the loss emergence period related to the portfolio of residential loans and the evaluation of the risk associated with payment resets relating to the residential mortgage interest-only loans.
Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $58 million, compared to $20 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the charge-off of allowance assigned to loans sold during the six months ended June 30, 2015. As a percentage of the average loans held-for-investment, annualized net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased to 2.63 percent from 1.07 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of the average loans held-for-investment were 0.34 percent and 0.94 percent, respectively, excluding the charge-offs related to the loan sales of $51 million and $2 million, respectively.
See the section captioned "Allowance for Loan Losses" in this discussion for further analysis of the provision for loan losses.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
Total noninterest income was $126 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, which was a $23 million increase from $103 million of noninterest income during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase during the three months ended June 30, 2015, was due to increases in net gain on loan sales and a benefit in the representation and warranty provision, partially offset by a decrease in loan fees and charges and net gain (loss) on sale of assets.
Net gain on loan sales increased $28 million to $83 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $55 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in gain on loan sales was primarily due to higher fallout adjusted lock volume and improved gain on loan sale margins, driven by stronger market pricing and improved business performance. The net gain on loan sale margin increased 39 basis points to 1.21 percent during the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 0.82 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the fallout adjusted mortgage rate lock commitments increased to $6.8 billion, compared to $6.7 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2014, led by a decline in refinance activity due to higher mortgage interest rates. The provision for representation and warranty reserve deducted from net gain on loan sales reflects our initial estimate of losses on probable mortgage repurchases arising from current loan sales and amounted to $2 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
For the three months ended June 30, 2015 loan fees and charges decreased $6 million to $19 million, as compared to $25 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in loan fees and charges during the three months ended June 30, 2015, is primarily due to a decrease in service fees resulting from a unanticipated benefit from a contract renegotiation during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Net return on mortgage servicing asset increased $4 million to $9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily a result of higher net hedge gains related to falling market implied volatility, partially offset by increased runoff due to lower interest rates and higher transaction costs. We had a total average balance of loans serviced for others of $27.7 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and $25.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Net gain on sale of assets decreased $6 million to a loss of $2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to income of $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in gain on sale of assets was primarily due to loan sales.
Representation and warranty provision improved $10 million to benefit of $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a loss of $5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The improvement was primarily due to lower net charge-offs and positive claims experience.
Other noninterest income decreased $9 million to a loss of $1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to income of $8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to a change in the fair value related to loans carried under the fair value option.
Comparison to Prior Year to Date
Total noninterest income was $245 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, which was a $68 million increase from $177 million of noninterest income during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2015, was led by higher net gain on loan sales, partially offset by a decrease in the net return on the mortgage servicing asset.
Net gain on loan sales increased $74 million to $174 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $100 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in gain on loan sales was primarily due to the same reasons noted above. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the fallout adjusted mortgage rate lock commitments increased to $14.0 billion, compared to $11.5 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2014. The provision for representation and warranty reserve deducted from net gain on loan sales reflects our initial estimate of losses on probable mortgage repurchases arising from current loan sales and amounted to $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Net return on mortgage servicing asset decreased $14 million to $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to income of $21 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily a result of increased run-off resulting from lower interest rates and lower net hedge gain related to increased market implied volatility and

higher transaction costs. We had a total average balance of loans serviced for others of $27.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and $25.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Net gain on sale of assets decreased $8 million to a loss of $2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to income of $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in gain on loan sales was primarily due to the same reason noted above.
Representation and warranty provision improved $11 million to benefit of $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a loss of $4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The improvement was primarily due to the same reasons noted above.
Other noninterest income increased $7 million to income of less than $1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a loss of $7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The improvement was primarily due to the first quarter 2014 adjustment of $21 million to the fair value of performing repurchased loans, partially offset by a change in the fair value related to loans carried under the fair value option.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
Total noninterest expense was $138 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, which was a $16 million increase from $122 million of noninterest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase during the three months ended June 30, 2015, was due to increases in other noninterest expense and loan processing expense, partially offset by a decrease in asset resolution expense.
The $4 million increase in compensation and benefits expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, is primarily due to a higher accrual in the annual incentive program. Our full-time equivalent employees decreased from 2,741 at June 30, 2014 to 2,713 at June 30, 2015.
Commissions expense, which is a variable cost associated with loan originations, increased $2 million to $11 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in commissions is primarily due to an increase in loan closings. Loan closings increased to $8.5 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $6.1 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Asset resolution expenses decreased $13 million to $5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $18 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to lower compensatory fees, higher recapture of interest and expenses on insured loans, decrease in debenture expense due to lower volume, along with lower FHA claims expenses.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015 loan processing expense increased $6 million to $14 million, compared to $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase in the volume of loan closings.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015 legal and professional expenses decreased $6 million to $8 million, compared to $14 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to a decrease in legal fees resulting from fewer litigation expenses along with a reduction in consulting fees resulting from cost saving initiatives.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015 other noninterest expense increased $23 million to an expense of $15 million, compared to income of $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the benefit relating to the DOJ liability recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and an increase in the warrant expense.
Comparison to Prior Year to Date
Total noninterest expense was $276 million during the six ended June 30, 2015, which was a $17 million increase from $259 million of noninterest expense during the six ended June 30, 2014. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to increases in other noninterest expense and loan processing expense, partially offset by a decrease in asset resolution expense.
Commissions expense, which is a variable cost associated with loan originations, increased $5 million to $21 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $16 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in commissions is primarily due to increase in the volume of loan originations during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Loan originations increased to $15.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $11.1 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Asset resolution expenses decreased $16 million to $13 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $29 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, p, primarily due to lower compensatory fees, higher recapture of interest and expenses on insured loans, decrease in debenture expense due to lower volume, along with lower FHA claims expenses.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015 loan processing expense increased $10 million to $26 million, compared to $16 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase in the volume of loan originations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015 legal and professional expenses decreased $8 million to $17 million, compared to $25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to a decrease in legal fees resulting from fewer litigation expenses along with a reduction in consulting fees resulting from cost saving initiatives.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015 other noninterest expense increased $26 million to $27 million, compared to $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the benefit relating to the DOJ liability recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and an increase in the warrant expense.

Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $28 million and $46 million, respectively, compared to a provision of $12 million and a benefit of $28 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was an effective tax provision rate of 37.2 percent and 37.0 percent, respectively, compared to a provision rate of 31.8 percent and a benefit rate of (34.7) percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The effective rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 differs from the combined federal and state statutory tax rate due to non-taxable income and expense items and was primarily impacted by our effort to utilize net operating loss carryforwards. We continue to monitor factors that might affect our ability to realize the full tax benefit of the net operating loss carryforwards.

Mortgage Originations
Our Mortgage Originations segment originates, acquires and sells one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. We sell the residential mortgage loans we produce into the secondary market on a whole loan basis or by securitizing the loans into mortgage-backed securities with the agencies. During 2014 and continuing into 2015 we remained one of the country's leading mortgage loan originators. We utilize production channels to originate or acquire mortgage loans and each production channel originates mortgage loan products which are underwritten to the same standards. We expect to continue to leverage technology to streamline the mortgage origination process with enhance compliance and quality controls, thereby bringing service and convenience to loan officers, brokers and correspondents. We also continue to make available to our customers various Web-based tools that facilitate the mortgage loan origination process through each of our production channels. Brokers and correspondents are able to register and lock loans, check the status of inventory, deliver documents in electronic format, generate closing documents, and request funds through the Internet. Funding for our Mortgage Originations segment is provided primarily by deposits and borrowings.
Home Lending. In a home lending transaction, loans are originated through a nationwide network of stand-alone home loan centers, as well as referrals from our Community Banking segment and the national direct to consumer call center. When loans are originated on a retail basis, most aspects of the lending process are completed internally including the origination documentation (inclusive of customer disclosures) as well as the funding of the transactions. At June 30, 2015 we maintained 13 loan origination centers (including four in Michigan and nine outside of Michigan). At the same time, our centralized loan processing provides efficiencies and allows lending sales staff to focus on originations.
Broker. In a broker transaction, an unaffiliated bank or mortgage brokerage company completes several steps of the loan origination process including the loan paperwork, but the loans are underwritten on a loan-level basis to our underwriting standards, and we supply the funding for the loan at closing (also known as "table funding") thereby becoming the lender of record. Currently, we have active broker relationships with approximately 560 banks, credit unions and mortgage brokerage companies located in all 50 states.
66
Correspondent. In a correspondent transaction, an unaffiliated bank or mortgage company completes the loan paperwork and also supplies the funding for the loan at closing. After the bank or mortgage company has funded the transaction, we purchase the loan at a market price. We do not acquire loans from correspondents on a bulk basis without prior review. Instead, we perform a review of each loan, purchasing only those that were originated in accordance with our underwriting guidelines. We have active correspondent relationships with approximately 700 companies, including banks, credit unions and mortgage companies located in all 50 states.
As of June 30, 2015, we ranked in the top 10 mortgage lenders nationwide based on our residential first mortgage loan originations. The following tables disclose residential first mortgage loan originations by channel, type and mix for each respective period.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
The Mortgage Servicing segment reported a net loss of $16 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $10 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase in other noninterest expense due to higher technology and corporate management cost, partially offset by decreases in asset resolution driven by continued de-risking of the balance sheet and representation and warranty provision from lower than expected charge-offs.
Net interest income decreased to $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to lower average balances of loans with government guarantees. Average loans with government guarantees decreased $607 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $0.6 billion, compared to $1.2 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to lower volumes of repurchases and lower volume of claims filed.
Representation and warranty provision improved $10 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to lower net charge-offs and positive claims experience.
Other noninterest income decreased $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $3 million, compared to $11 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to a benefit from a contract renegotiation achieved in 2014.
Asset resolution expense decreased $13 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to our on-going efforts to de-risk the balance sheet and includes a benefit of an FHA indemnification release. Loan processing expense increased $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to a net loss of $8 million, compared to a net loss of $4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily attributable to higher mortgage origination activity. Other noninterest expense increased to $21 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to allocations associated with the benefit relating to the DOJ liability recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Comparison to Prior Year to Date
The Mortgage Servicing segment reported a net loss of $33 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $24 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase in other noninterest expense due to higher legal and corporate management cost, partially offset by decreases in asset resolution driven by recoveries on FHA liquidated loans and representation and warranty provision from lower net charge-offs and positive claims experience.
Net interest income decreased to $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to lower average balances of loans with government guarantees resulting from lower volumes of repurchases and higher volume of claims filed.

Servicing of residential mortgage loans for third parties generates fee income and represents a significant business activity. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we serviced portfolios of mortgage loans of $27.7 billion and $25.4 billion, respectively. We had a total average balance of serviced mortgage loans of $26.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and $26.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which generated servicing fee revenue of $5 million and $6 million, respectively.
69

Community Banking
Our Community Banking segment consists primarily of four groups: Branch Banking, Commercial and Business Banking, Warehouse Lending and Mortgage Held-for-Investment Portfolio. The groups within the Community Banking segment originate consumer loans, commercial loans and warehouse loans; accept consumer, business, and governmental deposits; and offer investment and insurance services, liquidity management products, and capital markets services. The liquidity management products include customized treasury management solutions and international wire services. Capital market services that allow for risk mitigation are offered through interest rate swap products. At June 30, 2015, Branch Banking included 100 branches located throughout Michigan. Commercial and Business Banking includes relationship and portfolio managers throughout Michigan's major markets. Warehouse Lending offers lines of credit to other mortgage lenders nationally, allowing those lenders to fund the closing of residential first mortgage loans.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Community Banking segment reported net income of $13 million, compared to a net income of $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to a reduction in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in other noninterest (loss).
70
Net interest income increased $5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to higher average commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, warehouse, and residential first mortgage loans.
The provision for loan losses improved to a benefit of $13 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a provision of $6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the benefit was primarily attributable to the sale of interest-only, nonperforming and TDR residential first mortgage loans, partially offset by an increase in provision related to growth in the loan portfolio.
Other noninterest income (loss) declined $16 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to fair value adjustments on loans held-for-investment and purchased commitments and loan origination transfer costs from mortgage originations.
Total noninterest expense increased $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to allocations associated with the benefit relating to the DOJ liability recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2014, partially offset by lower compensation and benefits.
Comparison to Prior Year to Date
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Community Banking segment reported net income of $15 million, compared to a loss of $132 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to an improvement in provision for loan losses.
Net interest income increased $9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to higher average commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, warehouse, and residential first mortgage loans.
The provision for loan losses improved to a benefit of $17 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a provision of $119 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the benefit was primarily attributable to the sale of interest-only, nonperforming, and TDR residential first mortgages, partially offset by an increase in provision related to growth in the loan portfolio. The provision for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily driven by two changes in estimates: the evaluation of current data related to the loss emergence period and the evaluation of the enhanced risk associated with payment resets relating to the interest-only loans.
Other
The Other segment includes treasury functions, income and expense impact of equity and cash, the effect of eliminations of transactions between segments, tax benefits not assigned to specific operating segments, the funding revenue associated with stockholders' equity, and miscellaneous other expenses of a corporate nature. The treasury functions include administering the investment portfolio, balance sheet funding, interest rate risk management and MSR asset valuation, certain derivatives and sales into the secondary market.

Net interest income includes interest on the investment securities portfolios, debt, and the net impact of derivatives used to hedge interest rate sensitivity. Noninterest income includes servicing fees from MSRs net of a loan administration fee to the Mortgage Servicing segment to service the loan and the impact of hedging (see Note 11 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein, for additional information regarding MSRs), gains or losses on the sale of MSRs, trading asset gains or losses and other treasury related items. Noninterest income also includes insurance income and miscellaneous fee income not allocated to other operating segments. Noninterest expense includes treasury operating expenses, certain corporate administrative and other miscellaneous expenses not allocated to other operating segments. The provision for income taxes is not allocated to the operating segments as a new corporate income tax liability will not occur until after the utilization of the existing deferred tax assets.
Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Other segment net loss increased by $15 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the provision for income taxes and a decrease in other noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in net return on mortgage servicing asset.
Net interest income increased by $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to a higher average investment securities available-for-sale portfolio, partially offset by a higher average balance in Federal Home Loan Bank advances as we lengthened the duration of liabilities in 2015.
Net return on mortgage servicing asset increased for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to higher net hedge gain related to falling market implied volatility, partially offset by increased runoff due to lower interest rates and higher transaction costs. Other noninterest income decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to valuation adjustment on the fair value HELOC loans and a loss on the sale of assets.
Provision for income taxes increased for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily led by our effort to utilize net operating loss carryforwards.
We had MSR bulk sales of $4.6 billion related to $27.7 billion of loans serviced for others during the three months ended June 30, 2015. We incurred $6 million of net transaction costs on the sale of our MSRs during the three months ended June 30, 2015, which is included in net return on mortgage servicing asset on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Comparison to Prior Year to Date
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Other segment net income (loss) decreased by $98 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the $74 million increase in the provision for income taxes, the $14 million decrease in net return on mortgage servicing asset, and the $12 million decrease in noninterest income.
72
Net interest income increased by $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to a higher average investment securities available-for-sale portfolio, partially offset by a higher average balance in Federal Home Loan Bank advances as we lengthened the duration of liabilities in 2015.
Loan administration income decreased by $2 million due to charges attributable to higher prepayments in the mortgage servicing portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Net return on mortgage servicing asset decreased $14 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, resulting from higher prepayment speeds related to elevated mortgage refinance volumes and a net hedge loss related to an increase in market implied volatility. Other noninterest income decreased $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the change in estimate of the fair value HELOC loans.
We had MSR bulk sales of $7.2 billion related to $27.7 billion of loans serviced for others during the six months ended June 30, 2015. We incurred $8 million of net transaction costs on the sale of our MSRs during the six months ended June 30, 2015, which is included in net return on mortgage servicing asset on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Like all financial services companies, we engage in business activities and assume the related risks. The risks we are subject to in the normal course of business, include, but are not limited to, credit, regulatory compliance, legal, reputation, liquidity, market, operational and strategic. Our risk management activities are focused on ensuring we properly identify, measure, and manage such risks across the entire enterprise to maintain safety and soundness and maximize profitability. We hold capital to protect from the risk of unexpected loss.
A comprehensive discussion of risk management and capital matters affecting us can be found in the Risk Factors section included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Some of the more significant processes used to manage and control credit, liquidity, market, operational, and capital risks are described in the following paragraphs.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss to us arising from an obligor’s inability or failure to meet contractual payment or performance terms. Like other financial services institutions, we make loans, extend credit, purchase securities, and enter into financial derivative contracts, all of which have related credit risk. The majority of our credit risk is associated with lending activities, as the acceptance and management of credit risk is central to profitable lending.
Loans held-for-investment
Loans held-for-investment increased from $4.4 billion at December 31, 2014, to $5.3 billion at June 30, 2015, primarily due to increases in warehouse, residential first mortgage and HELOC loans. Warehouse loans increased $434 million, primarily led by higher line utilization and new accounts. Further, this was due to an increase in residential first mortgage loans as we retained certain residential first mortgage loan production on the balance sheet and to an increase in HELOC loans primarily due to purchases of HELOC loans.
Loans held-for-investment includes $182 million and $211 million of loans valued under the fair value option at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
For information relating to the concentration of credit of our loans held-for-investment, see Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.
Residential first mortgage loans. We offer various types of fixed and adjustable rate loans for non-conforming loan amounts for the purpose of purchasing or refinancing owner occupied and second home properties. Our underwriting guidelines were designed with the intent to minimize layered risk, and meet the Ability to Repay. The LTV requirements vary depending on occupancy, property type, loan amount, and FICO. Loans with LTVs exceeding 80 percent are required to obtain mortgage insurance. We generally originate loans that meet accepted secondary market underwriting standards. We also originate adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM"), fixed rate mortgage, and high cost area mortgage loans held-for-investment using Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines. The debt-to-income ratio and documentation requirements were determined by the automated underwriting system.
73
At June 30, 2015, the largest geographic concentrations of our residential first mortgage loans in our held-for-investment portfolio were in California, Florida, and Michigan, which represented 59.0 percent of such loans outstanding.
The following table identifies our held-for-investment residential mortgages by major category, at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM") loans held-for-investment were originated using Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines as a base framework, and the debt-to-income ratio guidelines and documentation typically followed the automated underwriting system guidelines. Our underwriting guidelines were designed with the intent to minimize layered risk. The maximum ratios allowable for purposes of both the LTV ratio and the combined loan-to-value ("CLTV") ratio, which includes second mortgages on the same collateral, was 95 percent, but subordinate (or second mortgage) financing was not allowed over a 95 percent LTV ratio. At a 95 percent LTV ratio with private mortgage insurance, the minimum acceptable FICO score, or the "floor," was 620, and at lower LTV ratio levels, the FICO floor was 620.
Set forth below as of June 30, 2015, are the amounts of the ARM loans in our held-for-investment loan portfolio with interest rate reset dates in the periods noted. As noted in the above table, loans may reset more than once over a three-year period and nonperforming loans do not reset while in the nonperforming status. Accordingly, the table below may include the same loans in more than one period.

Second mortgage loans. The majority of second mortgages we currently originate were closed in conjunction with the closing of the residential first mortgages originated by us (excluding Heloans). We generally required the same levels of documentation and ratios as with our residential first mortgages. Our current allowable debt-to-income ratio for approval of second mortgages is capped at 43 percent. We currently limit the maximum CLTV to 80 percent and FICO scores to a minimum of 680. Current fixed rate loans are available with terms up to 15 years. The second mortgage loans require full documentation and are underwritten and priced to ensure high credit quality and loan profitability.
Home Equity Line of Credit loans. Current HELOC guidelines and pricing parameters have been established to attract higher credit quality loans with long-term profitability. The minimum FICO is 680, maximum CLTV is 80 percent, and the maximum debt-to-income ratio is 43 percent. HELOCs are adjustable-rate, interest-only home equity line of credit loans generally with a 10-year, interest-only draw period followed by a 20-year amortizing period.
We also offer HELOC loans for a term period of five to 15 years to repay. The minimum FICO is 680, maximum CLTV is 80 percent, and the maximum debt-to-income ratio is 43 percent.

We sold approximately $386 million of interest-only mortgage loans from our held-for-investment portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as part of a concerted effort to de-risk our balance sheet and reduce the costs associated with nonperforming and higher risk assets.

Commercial and industrial loans. Commercial and industrial held-for-investment loan facilities typically include lines of credit and term loans to small or middle market businesses for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases, and expansion projects.
Warehouse lending. We also offer warehouse lines of credit to other mortgage lenders. These allow the lender to fund the closing of residential first mortgage loans. Each extension or draw-down on the line is collateralized by the residential first mortgage loans being funded. Underlying mortgage loans are predominately originated using agencies' underwriting standards. We believe we are increasing market share in warehouse, as our operating model has fundamentally changed. Where once we were the primary purchaser of loans funded by our warehouse lending, now loans purchased by other investors represent the majority of our fundings. These lines of credit are, in most cases, personally guaranteed by one or more principal officers of the borrower. The aggregate committed amount of adjustable rate warehouse lines of credit granted to other mortgage lenders at June 30, 2015 was $1.9 billion, of which $1.2 billion was outstanding and bearing an average interest rate of 3.5 percent, compared to $1.6 billion committed at December 31, 2014, of which $0.8 billion was outstanding and bearing an interest rate of 3.8 percent.
Credit Quality
Management considers a number of qualitative and quantitative factors in assessing the level of its allowance for loan losses. See the section captioned "Allowance for Loan Losses" in this discussion. As illustrated in the following tables, trends in certain credit quality characteristics such as nonperforming loans and past due statistics have recently stabilized or even begun to show signs of improvement. This is predominantly a result of the nonperforming and TDR loan sales and a decrease in net charge-offs (excluding loan sale related charge-offs), as well as run off of the legacy portfolios and the addition of new loans with strong credit characteristics to the held-for-investment portfolio.

Past due loans held-for-investment
For all classes within the consumer and commercial loan portfolio, loans are placed on nonaccrual status when any portion of principal or interest is 90 days past due (or nonperforming), or earlier when we become aware of information indicating that collection of principal and interest is in doubt. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued interest income is reversed. Loans return to accrual status when principal and interest become current and are anticipated to be fully collectible. At June 30, 2015, we had $81 million of loans held-for-investment that were determined to be past due loans. Of those past due loans, $65 million of loans were nonperforming held-for-investment. At December 31, 2014, we had $164 million of loans held-for-investment that were determined to be past due loans. Of those past due loans, $120 million of loans were nonperforming held-for-investment. The decrease from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015 was primarily due to the sale of nonperforming residential first mortgage loans.
Consumer loans. As of June 30, 2015, nonperforming consumer loans decrease from December 31, 2014, primarily due to the sale of nonperforming residential first mortgage loans. Net charge-offs in consumer loans totaled $18 million and $60 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $7 million and $21 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The increase was primarily due to charge-offs related to the sale of nonperforming residential first mortgage loans.
Troubled debt restructurings (held-for-investment)
Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") are modified loans in which a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and has been granted a concession not otherwise available. The decrease in our total TDR loans at June 30, 2015, as compared to December 31, 2014 was primarily due to TDR loan sales. Nonperforming TDRs were 36.6 percent and 37.9 percent of total nonperforming loans at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Nonperforming TDRs are included in nonaccrual loans and performing TDRs are excluded from nonaccrual loans because it is reasonably assured that all contractual principal and interest due under the restructured terms will be collected. Within consumer nonperforming loans, residential first mortgage TDRs were 41.8 percent of residential first mortgage nonperforming loans at June 30, 2015, compared to 37.5 percent at December 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily due to the second quarter 2015 loan sales. The level of modifications that was determined to be TDRs in these portfolios is expected to result in elevated nonperforming loan levels for longer periods because nonperforming TDRs remain in nonperforming status
79
until a borrower has made at least six consecutive months of payments under the modified terms or ultimate resolution occurs. TDRs primarily reflect our loss mitigation efforts to proactively work with borrowers having difficulty making their payments.

The $276 million decrease in TDRs loans at June 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014 was primarily due to the sale of TDR loans during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The $84 million decrease in total past due loans at June 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014 was primarily driven by the sale of $68 million unpaid principal balance of nonperforming loans during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The 30 to 59 days past due loans decrease to $10 million at June 30, 2015, as compared to $34 million at December 31, 2014, primarily driven by better asset quality, the sale of lower performing loans and growth in higher quality residential mortgage loans. There continued to be no commercial loans at June 30, 2015 that were more than 30 days past due.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of probable losses that are inherent in our loans held-for-investment portfolio but which have not yet been realized. The consumer loan portfolio includes residential first mortgages, second mortgages, HELOC, and other consumer loans. The commercial loan portfolio includes commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and warehouse lending. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The allowance for loan losses decreased to $222 million at June 30, 2015 from $297 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease from December 31, 2014 was primarily attributable to the reduction of reserves relating to the residential first mortgage loans which were sold, partially offset by an increase in provision relating to the growth in the average loan held-for-investment loan portfolio.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans held-for-investment decreased to 4.31 percent as of June 30, 2015 from 7.01 percent as of December 31, 2014, primarily as a result of the sale of lower quality loans and the continued growth of higher quality assets, such as our warehouse loans where credit risks are low. At June 30, 2015, we had a 6.5 percent allowance coverage of our consumer loan portfolio, consistent with the decrease in consumer past due loans and fewer lower quality assets. The commercial loan allowance for loan losses coverage ratio was 1.4 percent at June 30, 2015, reflecting the high quality of this portfolio and growth in warehouse loans during 2015.
The allowance for loan losses is considered adequate based upon management's assessment of relevant factors, including the types and amounts of nonperforming loans, historical and current loss experience, and the current economic environment.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not have sufficient funds to meet current and future cash flow needs as they become due. The liquidity of a financial institution reflects its ability to meet loan requests, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits and to take advantage of interest rate and market opportunities. The ability of a financial institution to meet current financial obligations is a function of the balance sheet structure, the ability to liquidate assets, and access to various sources of funds.
We primarily originate agency-eligible loans held-for-sale and therefore the majority of new residential first mortgage loan originations are readily convertible to cash, either by selling them as part of our monthly agency sales, private party whole loan sales, or by pledging them to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and borrowing against them. We use the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis as a significant source for funding our residential mortgage banking business due to its flexibility in terms of being able to borrow or repay borrowings as daily cash needs require.
The amount we can borrow, or the value we receive for the assets pledged to our liquidity providers, varies based on the amount and type of pledged collateral as well as the perceived market value of the assets and the "haircut" off the market value of the assets. That value is sensitive to the pricing and policies of our liquidity providers and can change with little or no notice.
84
Our principal uses of funds include loan originations and operating expenses. At June 30, 2015, we had outstanding interest-rate lock commitments to lend $5.3 billion in mortgage loans, compared to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2014. These commitments may expire without being drawn upon and therefore, do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Total commitments totaled $6.7 billion at June 30, 2015 and $3.5 billion at December 31, 2014.
Our cash flows relate primarily to cash outflows to originate loans held-for-investment and held-for-sale, cash inflows when those loans held-for-sale are sold, cash flows related to our servicing business, interest income, interest expense, and operating expenses.
Our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows shows cash used in operating activities of $5.0 billion and $3.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This primarily reflects the mortgage operations and is a reflection of the manner in which we execute certain loan sales for which the cash outflow is included in operating activities and the corresponding cash inflow is included in the investing section.
As governed and defined by our internal liquidity policy, we maintain adequate excess liquidity levels appropriate to cover unanticipated liquidity. In addition to this liquidity, we also maintain targeted minimum levels of unused collateralized borrowing capacity as another cushion against unexpected liquidity needs. Each business day, we forecast 90 days of daily cash needs. This allows us to determine our projected near term daily cash fluctuations and also to plan and adjust, if necessary, future activities. As a result, in an adverse environment, we would be able to make adjustments to operations as required to meet the liquidity needs of our business, including adjusting deposit rates to increase deposits, planning for additional Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, accelerating sales of loans held-for-sale (agencies and/or private), selling loans held-for-investment or securities, borrowing through the use of repurchase agreements, reducing originations, making changes to warehouse funding facilities, or borrowing from the discount window.
Deposits
Our deposits consist of three primary categories: retail deposits, government deposits, and company controlled deposits. Total deposits increased $579 million, or 8.2 percent at June 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014.
We have continued to focus on increasing our core deposit accounts such as branch and commercial demand deposits, savings and money market accounts. These core deposits provide a lower cost funding source to the Bank. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 our core deposits increased $422 million.
We call on local governmental agencies and other public units as an additional funding source. These deposit accounts include $312 million of certificates of deposit with maturities typically less than one year and $657 million in checking and savings accounts at June 30, 2015.
Company controlled deposits arise due to our servicing of loans for others and represent the portion of the investor custodial accounts on deposit with the Bank. These deposits do not bear interest, but these certain deposits require us to reimburse the owner for the spread on these funds. This cost is a component of net loan administration income. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 these deposits increased $151 million.
We participate in the Certificates of Deposit Account Registry Service ("CDARS") program, through which certain customer certificates of deposit ("CDs") are exchanged for CDs of similar amounts from other participating banks. This gives customers the potential to receive FDIC insurance up to $50 million. At June 30, 2015, we had $325 million of total CDs enrolled in the CDARS program.

Borrowings
The Federal Home Loan Bank provides loans, also referred to as advances, on a fully collateralized basis, to savings banks and other member financial institutions. We are currently authorized through a resolution of our board of directors to apply for advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank using approved loan types as collateral. At June 30, 2015, we had the authority and approval from the Federal Home Loan Bank to utilize a line of credit of up to $7.0 billion and we may access that line to the extent that collateral is provided. At June 30, 2015, we had $2.2 billion of advances outstanding and an additional $1.2 billion of collaterized borrowing capacity available at Federal Home Loan Bank.
We have arrangements with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago to borrow as appropriate from its discount window. The discount window is a borrowing facility that is intended to be used only for short-term liquidity needs arising from special or unusual circumstances. The amount we are allowed to borrow is based on the lendable value of the collateral that we provide. To collateralize the line, we pledge commercial and industrial loans that are eligible based on Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago guidelines. At June 30, 2015, we had pledged commercial and industrial loans amounting to $58 million with a lendable value of $36 million. At December 31, 2014, we had pledged commercial and industrial loans amounting to$53 million with a lendable value of $31 million. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had no borrowings outstanding against this line of credit.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $1.7 billion at June 30, 2015 from December 31, 2014. We rely upon advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank as a source of funding for the origination or purchase of loans for sale in the secondary market and for providing duration specific short-term and medium-term financing. The outstanding balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances fluctuates from time to time depending on our current
86
inventory of mortgage loans held-for-sale and the availability of lower cost funding sources such as repurchase agreements. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we entered into longer-term fixed rate advances to provide more stable funding for interest-earning asset growth.
See Note 9 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Long-term debt. As part of our overall capital strategy, we previously raised capital through the issuance of trust-preferred securities by our special purpose financing entities formed for the offerings. The outstanding trust preferred securities mature 30 years from issuance, are callable by us after 20 quarters, and pay interest quarterly. Under these trust preferred arrangements, we have the right to defer interest payments to the trust preferred security holders for up to 20 quarters without default or penalty.
On January 27, 2012, we notified holders of the trust preferred securities our intention to exercise the contractual right to defer regularly scheduled quarterly payments of interest, beginning with the February 2012 payment, with respect to trust preferred securities. These payments will be periodically evaluated and reinstated when appropriate, subject to provisions of the Consent Order and Supervisory Agreement. At June 30, 2015, we have deferred for 14 consecutive quarters for a total amount of $24 million.
Following the Assured Settlement Agreement, we consolidated the debt associated with certain HELOC securitizations held in a trust or variable interest entity ("VIE"), at fair value. We exercised our clean-up call with respect to the 2005-1 HELOC securitization trust, during the second quarter 2015. The transaction resulted in a cash payment of $24 million to the debt bondholders. After payment of the debt, the FSTAR 2005-1 HELOC securitization trust has been dissolved during the second quarter 2015. At June 30, 2015, the fair value of the long-term debt associated with the remaining HELOC securitization trust was $36 million. The final legal maturity of the long-term debt associated with the VIE is June 2019. However, this debt agreement has a contractual provision that allows for a clean-up call of the debt when less than 10 percent of the original loan balances of that securitization trust remain outstanding. As of June 30, 2015, FSTAR 2006-2 (LIBOR plus 0.16 percent) is expected to be below the threshold near the end of 2015. The debt pays interest based on a spread over the 30-day LIBOR interest rate.
For information relating to long-term debt, see Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of reduced earnings and or declines in the net market value of the balance sheet primarily due to changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, or equity prices. We do not have any material foreign currency exchange risk or equity price risk. The primary market risk is interest rate risk and results from timing differences in the repricing of our assets and liabilities, changes in the relationships between rate indices, and the potential exercise of explicit or embedded options.
Interest rate risk is monitored by the asset liability committee ("ALCO"), which is composed of our executive officers and other members of management, in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the ALCO considers the impact projected interest rate scenarios have on earnings and capital, liquidity, business strategies, and other factors. The ALCO meets monthly or as deemed necessary to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and fair values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activity, loans held-for-sale and commitments to originate loans, and the maturities of investments, borrowings and time deposits.
Financial instruments used to manage interest rate risk include derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and forward sales commitments. Further discussion of the use of and the accounting for derivative instruments is included in Notes 8 and 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. All of our derivatives are accounted for at fair market value. All mortgage loan production originated for sale is accounted for on a fair value basis.
To effectively measure and manage interest rate risk, sensitivity analysis is used to determine the impact on earnings and the net market value of the balance sheet across various interest rate scenarios, balance sheet trends, and strategies. From these simulations, interest rate risk is quantified and appropriate strategies are developed and implemented. Additionally, duration and net interest income sensitivity measures are utilized when they provide added value to the overall interest rate risk management process. The overall interest rate risk position and strategies are reviewed by executive management and the board of directors on an ongoing basis. Business is traditionally managed to reduce overall exposure to changes in interest rates.
87
However, management has the latitude to increase interest rate sensitivity within certain limits if, in management's judgment, the increase will enhance profitability.
Net interest income simulation analysis provides estimated net interest income of the current balance sheet across alternative interest rate scenarios. The net interest income analysis measures the sensitivity of interest sensitive earnings over a 12 month time horizon. The analysis holds the current balance sheet values constant and does not take into account management intervention. The net interest income simulation demonstrates the level of interest rate risk inherent in the existing balance sheet.
The following table is a summary of the changes in our net interest income that are projected to result from hypothetical changes in market interest rates. The interest rate scenarios presented in the table include interest rates as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and adjusted by instantaneous parallel rate changes plus or minus 200 basis points.

In the net interest income simulation, our balance sheet exhibits slight asset sensitivity. When interest rates rise our interest income increases, conversely when interest rates fall our interest income decreases. The net interest income simulation measures the interest rate risk of the balance sheet over a short period over time, typically 12 months. An additional analysis is completed that measures the interest rate risk over an extended period of time. The Economic Value of Equity ("EVE") analysis provides a fair value of the balance sheet in alternative interest rate scenarios. The EVE analysis does not take into account management intervention and assumes the new rate environment is constant and the change is instantaneous.
The following table is a summary of the changes in our EVE that are projected to result from hypothetical changes in market interest rates. EVE is the market value of assets, less the market value of liabilities, adjusted for the market value of off balance sheet instruments. The interest rate scenarios presented in the table include interest rates at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and as adjusted by instantaneous parallel rate changes upward to 300 basis points and downward to 100 basis points. The scenarios are not comparable due to differences in the interest rate environments, including the absolute level of rates and the shape of the yield curve. Each rate scenario reflects unique prepayment, repricing, and reinvestment assumptions. Management derives these assumptions by considering published market prepayment expectations, the repricing characteristics of individual instruments or groups of similar instruments, our historical experience, and our asset and liability management strategy. Further, this analysis assumes that certain instruments would not be affected by the changes in interest rates or would be partially affected due to the characteristics of the instruments.
This analysis is based on our interest rate exposure at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and does not contemplate any actions that we might undertake in response to changes in market interest rates, which could impact EVE. Further, as this framework evaluates risks to the current statement of financial condition only, changes to the volumes and pricing of new business opportunities that can be expected in the different interest rate outcomes are not incorporated in this analytical framework. For instance, analysis of our history suggests that declining interest rate levels are associated with higher loan production volumes at higher levels of profitability. While this "natural business hedge" historically offset most, if not all, of the identified risks associated with declining interest rate scenarios, these factors fall outside of the EVE framework. Further, there can be no assurance that this natural business hedge would positively affect the economic value of equity in the same manner and to the same extent as in the past.
There are limitations inherent in any methodology used to estimate the exposure to changes in market interest rates. It is not possible to fully model the market risk in instruments with leverage, option, or prepayment risks. Also, we are affected by
88
basis risk, which is the difference in repricing characteristics of similar term rate indices. As such, this analysis is not intended to be a precise forecast of the effect a change in market interest rates would have on us.
If EVE increases in any interest rate scenario, that would indicate an increasing direction for the margin in that hypothetical rate scenario. A perfectly matched balance sheet would possess no change in the EVE, no matter what the rate scenario. The following table presents the EVE in the stated interest rate scenarios.

Our balance sheet exhibits sensitivity in a rising interest rate scenario as the EVE decreases. The decrease in EVE is the result of the amount of liabilities that would be expected to reprice in the near term exceeding the amount of assets that could similarly reprice over the same time period because such assets may have longer maturities or repricing terms.
Mortgage servicing rights
At June 30, 2015, MSRs at fair value increased $59 million to $317 million, compared to $258 million at December 31, 2014, primarily due to an increase in the volume of the unpaid principal balance of servicing retained MSRs.
Changes in the carrying value of residential first mortgage MSRs, accounted for at fair value, were as follows:

For information relating to the mortgage servicing rights, see Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.
Investment securities
Investment securities increased from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2014 to $2.3 billion at June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to the purchase of $724 million of agency securities, including mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, partially offset by $122 million of principal paydowns. See Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.

Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss due to human error; inadequate or failed internal systems and controls; violations of, or noncompliance with, laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards; and external influences such as market conditions, fraudulent activities, disasters, and security risks. We continuously strive to strengthen our system of internal controls to ensure compliance with laws, rules, and regulations, and to improve the oversight of our operational risk. We evaluate internal systems, processes, and controls to mitigate loss from cyber-attacks and, to date, have not experienced any material losses. The goal of this framework is to implement effective operational risk techniques and strategies, minimize operational and fraud losses, and enhance our overall performance.
Loans with government guarantees
The amount of loans with government guarantees totaled $592 million at June 30, 2015. This includes the $6 million of loans which we have not yet repurchased but had the unilateral right to repurchase. At December 31, 2014, loans with government guarantees totaled $1.1 billion and those loans which we had not yet repurchased but had the unilateral right to repurchase totaled $9 million and were classified as other liability. The balance of this portfolio decreased at June 30, 2015, primarily due to $373 million of repossessed assets and claims that were reclassified from loans with government guarantees to other assets as a result of the adoption of ASU Update No. 2014-14, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) and lower volumes of repurchases, as well as higher volume of claims filed.
Substantially all of these loans continue to be insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") and management believes that the reimbursement process is proceeding appropriately. These repurchased loans earn interest at a statutory rate, which varies for each loan, but is based on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rate at the time the loan becomes greater than 60 days delinquent. This interest is recorded as interest income and the related claims settlement expenses are recorded in asset resolution expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. When a government guaranteed loan becomes nonperforming and is outside the reasonable period, the interest is recognized in accrued interest and is offset by a contra account.
For further information on loans with government guarantees, see Note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.
Representation and warranty reserve
We sell most of the residential first mortgage loans that we originate into the secondary mortgage market. When we sell mortgage loans, we make customary representations and warranties to the purchasers, including sponsored securitization trusts and their insurers (primarily Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac).

The decrease in the provision adjustment charged to representation and warranty reserve expense during the six months ended June 30, 2015, was primarily due to lower than expected charge-offs coupled with our ongoing efforts to continue to refine our estimates as more data becomes available reflecting the trend under the revised representation and warranty reserve framework as published by the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

Capital
Under the capital distribution regulations, a savings bank that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company must either notify or seek approval from the OCC of an association capital distribution at least 30 days prior to the declaration of a dividend or the approval by our board of directors of the proposed capital distribution. The 30-day period allows the OCC to determine whether the distribution would not be advisable. Because we are under the Consent Order, we currently must seek
91
approval from the OCC prior to making a capital distribution from the Bank. In addition, under the Supervisory Agreement, the Company agreed to request prior non-objection of the Federal Reserve to pay dividends or other capital distributions.
Under the terms of the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C (the "Series C Preferred Stock") the Company may defer payments of dividends. Beginning with the February 2012 payment, the Company has exercised its contractual right to defer regularly scheduled quarterly payments of dividends on Series C Preferred Stock, and is therefore currently in arrears with the dividend payments. As of June 30, 2015, the amount of the arrearage on the dividend payments of the Series C Preferred Stock was $71 million. At the time that the Company pays the deferred dividends, this payment will result in a reduction of equity. Currently, the impact of the deferred dividends is removed from net income for calculating the Company's earnings per share.
Consent Orders
Effective October 23, 2012, the Bank's board of directors executed a Stipulation and Consent (the "Stipulation"), accepting the issuance of a Consent Order (the "Consent Order") by the OCC. The Consent Order replaces the supervisory agreement entered into between the Bank and the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") on January 27, 2010, which the OCC terminated simultaneous with issuance of the Consent Order. The Company is still subject to the Supervisory Agreement with the Federal Reserve.
On September 29, 2014, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB"). The Consent Order relates to alleged violations of federal consumer financial laws arising from the Bank’s residential first mortgage loan loss mitigation practices and default servicing operations dating back to 2011. Under the terms of the Consent Order, the Bank has paid $28 million for borrower remediation and $10 million in civil money penalties. The settlement does not involve any admission of wrongdoing on the part of the Bank or its employees, directors, officers, or agents.
Supervisory Agreement
The Company is subject to the Supervisory Agreement, which will remain in effect until terminated, modified, or suspended in writing by the Federal Reserve. The failure to comply with the Supervisory Agreement could result in the initiation of further enforcement action by the Federal Reserve, including the imposition of further operating restrictions, and could result in additional enforcement actions against the Company. The Company has taken actions which it believes are appropriate to comply with, and intends to maintain compliance with, all of the requirements of the Supervisory Agreement. For further information and a complete description of all of the terms of the Supervisory Agreement, please refer to the copy of the Supervisory Agreement filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 28, 2010.
Regulatory Developments
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. We are currently subject to regulatory capital rules issued by U.S. banking regulators. On January 1, 2015, we became subject to the Basel III rules, which include certain transition provisions through 2018. Through December 31, 2014, we were subject to the Basel I general risk-based capital rules.
Regulatory Capital Composition – Transition
Important differences in determining the composition of regulatory capital between the Basel I Rules and Basel III include changes in capital deductions related to the Company's MSRs and deferred tax assets. These changes will be impacted by, among other things, future changes in interest rates, overall earnings performance and corporate actions. Changes to the composition of regulatory capital under Basel III, as compared to the Basel I Rules, are recognized in 20 percent annual increments, and will be fully recognized as of January 1, 2018. When presented on a fully phased-in basis, capital, risk-weighted assets, and the capital ratios assume all regulatory capital adjustments and deductions are fully recognized.
As of June 30, 2015, the Company and the Bank were subject to a partial phase-in limitation on deductions related to MSRs and certain deferred tax assets. This partial phase-in reduced our Tier 1 leverage ratio when compared to the same ratio under Basel I. Our common equity Tier I ratio increased under the phase-in rules, as the absorption of the write-off of excess MSRs and net operating loss-dependent deferred tax assets are included at only 40 percent by common equity Tier 1 in the first
92
year of the phase-in. The remaining net operating loss-dependent DTAs above the Basel III limits are written off against the non-common elements of Tier 1 capital (the preferred shares and the trust preferred securities) in this first year of phase-in.
Effective on January 1, 2015, the capital framework under the Basel III final rule replaced the existing regulatory capital rules for all banks, savings associations, and U.S. bank holding companies with greater than $500 million in total assets, and all savings and loan holding companies. The final rule implements a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement. In addition, the new regulations would subject a banking organization to certain limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the organization did not maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount greater than 2.5 percent of its total risk-weighted assets. The effect of the capital conservation buffer will be to increase the minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio to 7.0 percent, the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio to 8.5 percent and the minimum total risk-based capital ratio to 10.5 percent. The capital conservation buffer becomes effective January 1, 2016 with transition provisions through 2018.
The new regulations grandfather the regulatory capital treatment of hybrid debt and equity securities, such as trust preferred securities issued prior to May 19, 2010, for banks or holding companies with less than $15.0 billion in total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009. Although the Company may continue to include our existing trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital, the prohibition on the use of these securities as Tier 1 capital going forward may limit the Company’s ability to raise capital in the future.
At June 30, 2015, we were considered "well-capitalized" for regulatory purposes. The following tables show the regulatory capital ratios as of the dates indicated.

Looking at the impact of a fully phased in implementation of Basel III, our Tier 1 leverage ratio would have been 9.40 percent and our Tier 1 common ratio would have been 8.43 percent at June 30, 2015. The impact to our Tier 1 leverage ratio is mostly driven by the treatment that mortgage servicing rights receive under Basel III. Over the long term, we plan to continue to reduce our mortgage servicing rights to Tier 1 ratio, taking into consideration market conditions to guide our pace of MSR reduction. At June 30, 2015, we had $317 million of mortgage servicing rights, representing 24.2 percent of Tier 1 capital. The value of the mortgage servicing rights asset increased at June 30, 2015 from December 31, 2014, primarily due to higher interest rates and slower prepayment speeds, increasing the mortgage servicing rights to Tier 1 ratio. We will continue to look for opportunities to reduce our mortgage servicing rights exposure over time.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this report includes non-GAAP financial measures such as the ratio of total nonperforming assets to Tier 1 capital (to adjusted total assets) and estimated Basel III ratios. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in helping to understand the underlying performance and trends of the Company.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, which are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious with respect to the use of such measures. To mitigate these limitations, we have practices in place to ensure that these measures are calculated using the appropriate GAAP or regulatory components in their entirety and to ensure that our performance is properly reflected to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this report enhance investors' understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for those financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Nonperforming assets / Tier 1 + Allowance for Loan Losses. The ratio of nonperforming assets to Tier 1 and allowance for loan losses divides the total level of nonperforming assets held for investment by Tier 1 capital (to adjusted total assets), as defined by bank regulations, plus allowance for loan losses. We believe these measurements are meaningful measures of capital adequacy used by investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate the adequacy of capital in comparison to other companies within the industry.

Basel III (transitional) to Basel III (fully phased-in) reconciliation. On January 1, 2015, the Basel III rules became effective, subject to transition provisions primarily related to regulatory deductions and adjustments impacting common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 capital. We reported under Basel I (which included the Market Risk Final Rules) at December 31, 2014. When fully phased-in, Basel III, will increase capital requirements through higher minimum capital levels as well as through increases in risk-weights for certain exposures. Additionally, the final Basel III rules place greater emphasis on common equity. In October 2013, the OCC and Federal Reserve released final rules detailing the U.S. implementation of Basel III and the application of the risk-based and leverage capital rules to top-tier savings and loan holding companies. We have transitioned to the Basel III framework beginning in January 2015 and are subject to a phase-in period extending through 2018. Accordingly, the calculations provided below are estimates. These measures are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures because they are not formally defined by GAAP and the Basel III implementation regulations will not be fully phased-in until January 1, 2019. The regulations are subject to change as clarifying guidance becomes available and the calculations currently include our interpretations of the requirements including informal feedback received through the regulatory process. Other entities may calculate the Basel III ratios differently from ours based on their interpretation of the guidelines. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess our capital adequacy using the Basel III framework, we believe that it is useful to provide investors information enabling them to assess our capital adequacy on the same basis.
