Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of consolidation and nature of business: The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Residential Mortgage Services Holdings, Inc. (Holdings) and its wholly owned subsidiary Residential Mortgage Services, Inc. (RMSI) (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Holdings, a Delaware corporation, was formed in September 2013 to affect the recapitalization of RMSI.
RMSI, a Maine corporation incorporated in 1991 as a mortgage company, is the Company’s operating unit. RMSI originates residential loans for the purpose of selling such loans along with servicing rights to permanent investors in the secondary market. Loans are funded through warehouse lines of credit and are sold to investors generally within 30 days of origination. RMSI’s primary market areas are Southern Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and the mid-Atlantic region. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 65% and 60%, respectively, of RMSI’s loans originated for sale were sold to four investors.
The Company is subject to supervision and examination by state and federal regulatory authorities. Failure to comply with regulatory guidelines could subject the Company to various sanctions and penalties.
In the normal course of business, companies in the mortgage banking industry encounter certain economic and regulatory risks. Economic risks include interest rate risk and credit risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that in a rising interest rate environment, the Company may experience a decrease in loan production, as well as decreases in the value of mortgage loans held for sale and in commitments to originate loans, which may negatively impact the Company’s operations. Credit risk is the risk of default that may result from the borrowers’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments during the period in which loans are being held for sale.
Basis of presentation: The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to U.S. GAAP relating to interim financial statements. The December 31, 2020 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company follows the same accounting policies for preparing interim and annual reports. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year or for any other future period.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are susceptible to material change in the near term include the fair value estimates for loans held for sale and derivative financial instruments.
Loans held for investment and allowance for loan losses: Loans held for investment are recorded at the principal amount outstanding, net of an allowance for loan losses. The Company reviews its loan portfolios to determine whether an allowance is necessary to absorb losses that are estimated to have occurred. Loans are charged-off when deemed uncollectible. Loans are evaluated for delinquency based on payment terms. The Company has reviewed its loan portfolio and has determined that a $1,446,389 and $738,794 allowance for loan losses on loans held for investment is required at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Loans are considered impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. Impairment is measured based on the discounted expected future cash flows or the fair value of the collateral securing the loan if the loan is collateral dependent.
Interest income on loans is recognized on the accrual basis of accounting when interest is probable of collection. Management stops accruing interest when it is determined that collection is not assured.
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no impaired loans or charge offs incurred.
Other real estate owned: Other real estate owned is recorded at estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell, based on outside appraisals performed on the properties. Expenditures which increase values are capitalized. The Company has recorded an allowance for losses on other real estate owned of $268,251 for June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and certificates of deposit: In January, 2021, the Company opened operating, investment and restricted cash accounts at Wells Fargo Bank. The Company has invested $31,554,030 at June 30, 2021 in highly liquid money market funds, primarily invested in U.S. Treasury notes. These investments consist of excess, non-restricted cash funds. The Company can draw on these funds at any time without restriction. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was $7,088,071 and $64,088,036, respectively, invested in an overnight sweep account.
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant risk. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had cash on deposit, including restricted cash, at 12 institutions in the amount of $87,004,471 and $83,981,484 respectively, which exceeds the federally insured limits of $250,000 per institution. Differences between the amounts in the bank and the balances recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are due to outstanding checks and deposits in-transit.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated statement of cash flows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2021 | | December 31, 2020 |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 84,746,044 | | | $ | 74,777,346 | |
Restricted cash | 2,021,322 | | | 7,484,324 | |
| $ | 86,767,366 | | | $ | 82,261,670 | |
Restricted cash consists of cash reserves under warehouse lines of credit agreements.
Income taxes: Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the enacted rates that are expected to be in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of the changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. Estimated interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense. Management of the Company has evaluated the positions taken on its tax returns filed and the potential impact on its tax status as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company has concluded no uncertain income tax positions exist at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company’s tax years from 2016 to 2020 are open and subject to examination.
Stock-based compensation: There were 4,743 options outstanding at June 30, 2021. There were 1,135 options that became vested, and no options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The total compensation expense recorded, including the reversal of compensation expense related to forfeitures, was $19,838 and $68,760 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These amounts are recorded within the salaries and benefits operating expense line item on the condensed consolidated income statements. Total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested options as of June 30, 2021 amounts to $0.
Covid-19 Pandemic: In March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized COVID-19 as a pandemic and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. Stringent measures were implemented by countries and local municipalities to help control the spread of the virus, followed by phased regulations and guidelines for reopening communities and economies. The pandemic and resulting measures have had a significant impact on national and global economies. COVID-19 has not had a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations, cash flows, financial position or the amount or availability of its liquidity.
Recent accounting pronouncements:
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The ASU applies to all financial instruments carried at amortized cost, including loans held for investment. The new accounting standard does not apply to loans held for sale or for financial assets for which the fair value option has been elected. This standard is effective for private companies to years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, aligns the accounting for costs to implement a cloud computing arrangement that is a service with the guidance on capitalizing costs for developing or obtaining internal-use software. The Company adopted 2018-15 on January 1, 2021, with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848).” The interest rate of the variable-rate indebtedness and the interest rate on the adjustable rate loans we originate and service is based on LIBOR. U.S.-dollar LIBOR is expected to be replaced with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), a new index calculated by reference to short-term repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury securities. The ASU contains guidance designed to simplify how entities account for contracts that are modified to replace LIBOR. The guidance will not apply to any contract modification made after December 31, 2022.
Note 2. Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $420,209,942 and $411,282,272 outstanding in residential mortgage loans held for sale, respectively. The principal due upon maturity of mortgage loans held for sale at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is $406,748,047 and $399,133,510, respectively, which is $13,461,895 and $12,148,762 less than fair value, respectively. Mortgage loans held for sale serve as collateral for the Company’s lines of credit.
The Company enters into IRLCs with customers who have applied for residential mortgage loans and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. These commitments expose the Company to market risk if interest rates change and
the loan commitment is not economically hedged or committed to an investor. The Company is also exposed to credit loss if the loan is originated and not sold to an investor and the customer does not perform. The collateral upon extension of credit typically consists of a first deed of trust in the mortgagor’s residential property. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon.
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding IRLCs of $821,667,232 and $950,565,759 to customers, respectively. The Company expects to fund these commitments through the sale of the mortgage loans and borrowings under the Company’s lines of credit.
The Company’s policy is to hedge its loans held for sale and IRLC’s at various rates depending on market conditions. The Company economically hedges the changes in fair value of mortgage loans held for sale and IRLCs with TBAs and by entering into forward sale commitments with investors. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had commitments to deliver $617,978,189 and $666,992,364, respectively, in mortgage loans at specific rates and prices for TBA mortgage backed securities. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to the TBAs and forward sale commitments; however, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. In the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the fair value adjustment on derivatives amounted to a net loss of $10,541,637 and net gain of $19,158,173, respectively. The Company also has forward sale commitments with specific investors to deliver specific loans held for sale at a specified price on a best efforts basis.
In certain cases, the Company may be required to repurchase loans and return fees received on loans sold that entirely prepay, default within a specified period after they are sold or if there is subsequent discovery that underwriting standards were not met. A liability of $1,010,420 and $1,130,542 has been recorded at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Note 12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include assets and liabilities that are measured based on their estimated fair values. The application of fair value estimates may be on a recurring or nonrecurring basis depending on the accounting principles applicable to the specific asset or liability or whether management has elected to carry the item at its estimated fair value as discussed in the following paragraphs.
Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.
Fair value on a recurring basis: The table below presents the balances of assets and (liabilities) carried at fair value on a recurring basis:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

TBAs | (4,236,188) | | | — | | | (4,236,188) | | | — | |
The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies for instruments measured at fair value:
Mortgage loans held for sale and IRLCs: The fair value of the Company’s IRLCs and loans held for sale are based on the following assumptions:
•The assumed gain on the expected loan sale to the buyer using estimated prices observed in the market for loans with similar characteristics, mainly interest rate, term, and type of loan product (Level 2).
•The estimated premiums observed in the market for loans sold servicing-released (Level 2).
•The origination fee income, commission expense, and other conversion costs expected to be received or incurred for the resulting loans related to IRLCs (Level 3).
•An estimate of the fall out expected from IRLCs that will not ultimately result in funded loans (Level 3).
TBAs and forward sale commitments: The fair value of TBAs and forward sale commitments is
estimated based on the market price movement of similar instruments from the trade date to the
reporting period-end date (Level 2).
