TIMIOS NATIONAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
September 30, 2013
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation of Unaudited Interim Financial Statements.
Organization
Timios National Corporation (the “Company” or the “Holding Company”) is a consolidator of companies, whose current subsidiaries provide title, settlement, escrow, appraisal and asset management real estate services. We are focused on creating long term value by taking a controlling interest in and developing our subsidiary companies through superior operations and management. We intend to operate businesses that provide real estate services, growing organically and by acquisitions. The Company targets emerging companies that are generating revenues but face challenges in scaling their businesses to capitalize on opportunities in the aforementioned industry sector.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fiducia Real Estate Services, Inc. (“FRES”) and FRES’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Timios, Inc. (“Timios” and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Timios Escrow Services, Inc. or “TEI” and Glen County Title Company, Inc. or “GCTC”), Timios Appraisal Management, Inc. (“TAM”) and Default Servicing USA, Inc. (“DSUSA”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassifications — Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
2. Income Taxes
The Company has not recorded any federal income tax expense or benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, mainly due to available federal net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has recorded an income tax valuation allowance equal to the benefit of any deferred tax asset because of the uncertain nature of realization. The Company has recorded state income tax expense for certain of the jurisdictions in which it operates.
3. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The basic earnings (loss) per share was computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during each period.
Diluted earnings per share are computed using outstanding shares of common stock plus the Company’s Series J convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Shares”) and common stock options and warrants that can be exercised or converted, as applicable, into common stock, par value $0.001, at September 30, 2013 and 2012. Diluted earnings per share are not indicated for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

6. Asset Purchase Agreement — Adobe Title, LLC
On September 15, 2013, Timios, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Adobe Title, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Adobe”),.and Adobe’s members, Geoff Henley and Hudson Henley. Adobe provides title insurance and escrow services to lenders in Texas.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Timios acquired certain assets and properties of, and assumed certain liabilities, from Adobe in consideration of (i) $500,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”), plus (ii) an earn-out equal to 7.25% of the Gross Revenue (as defined in the Agreement) of Adobe, up to a maximum of $3,500,000 (the “Maximum Contingent Amount”), starting approximately six months from the date of the Agreement and ending on the forty-eighth monthly anniversary of such start date (the “Earn-Out”). The Base Purchase Price consists of a cash payment equal to $200,000 and a promissory note in the principal amount of $300,000. The cash portion of the Base Purchase Price is payable in two equal installments of $100,000 each, the first of which was paid at the closing and the second will be paid on November 30, 2013. The promissory note (the “Note”) is in the principal amount of $300,000 and accrues interest at an annual rate of 8% compounded annually, payable in one lump sum (subject to Timios’s voluntary pre-payments, which may be made without penalty) on or before the date of the last payment under the Earn-Out is to be made.
The Agreement provides for customary representations and warranties by both parties, and provides Timios with a right to indemnification for losses arising out of (i) the breach of such representations and warranties; (ii) the failure to satisfy any covenants; (iii) the liabilities contractually excluded from the sale; (iv) the ownership of the assets acquired prior to the closing and the ownership of the assets excluded from the sale; (v) the operation of the business acquired prior to the closing; or (vi) any indebtedness of Adobe or transaction expenses of Adobe not satisfied at or prior to the closing. Timios may make a claim for indemnification if and when it suffers losses equal at least an aggregate of $25,000, at which time all losses, including the initial $25,000, may be claimed. Timios’s right to indemnification is subject to a cap of $250,000 for any losses arising out of clause (i) above and up to the Maximum Contingent Amount with respect to all other losses. Timios has a right of set-off for its losses against the Earn-Out payments.
The Company intends to provide proforma financial statements, in an amended 8K filed not later than November 29, 2013, reflecting the results of the combined companies assuming the acquisition of the assets was completed at December 31, 2011. The proforma consolidation will include statements for the periods December 31, 2011, June 30, 2012, December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013.

7. Term Loan and Collar Agreement with Yorkville Global Investments, L.P. (“YA”)
On May 21, 2013, the Company entered into the following agreements with YA Global Investments, L.P. (“YA”): (i) Term Loan and Collar Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), Stock Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) and Loan and Collar Call Agreement (the “Call Agreement”).
Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company loaned a principal amount of $500,000 to YA (the “Loan”) at an annually compounded interest rate equal to One and Nine One Hundredths Percent (1.09%). The Loan matures on May 21, 2017, unless the Company accelerates maturity with 30 days’ prior notice (the “Maturity Date”). The Loan is secured by 253,434 shares of the Company’s Series J Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 (the “Preferred Stock”), owned by YA, which Preferred Stock is pledged to the Company pursuant to the Pledge Agreement (the “Collateral Shares”). The Loan is to be repaid in cash on the settlement date, which is the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which all of the Collateral Shares have been sold or otherwise disposed of and (ii) the date that is 120 days after the Maturity Date (the “Settlement Date”), or earlier if an Event of Default has occurred, as defined in the Loan Agreement. Although YA may prepay all or part of the Loan without penalty, YA is not required to pay any amounts under the Loan Agreement prior to the Settlement Date.
Within ten calendar days after the Maturity Date, YA is required to retain a broker mutually acceptable to both parties, or failing this the Company may retain one, who would be required to sell all, but not less than all, Collateral Shares not previously sold prior to the Maturity Date. The broker would have 90 days to sell the Collateral Shares, or failing this YA may put the Collateral Shares to the Company at a price per share of the Company’s common stock as determined by a third party valuation company, or other valuation methodology, in each case, mutually acceptable to both the Company and YA; provided, however, that if the Company’s common stock ceases to be quoted for trading or listed for trading on any national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities Exchange Commission or with the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board (a “Going Private Event”), the value of such common stock shall be $0.78 per share.
The Company and YA agreed on a collar arrangement that allocates the risk associated with the value of the Collateral Shares as of the Settlement Date as follows:
9
Table of Contents
· If (i) a Going Private Event has not occurred, (ii) the Collateral Shares are sold or otherwise disposed of and (iii) the price per share of common stock (issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, or “Conversion Share”) is $0.60 or less, then the Company is required to pay to YA an amount equal to the product of (A) the difference between $0.60 and the price per Conversion Share and (B) the number of Conversion Shares.
· If (i) a Going Private Event has occurred, (ii) the Collateral Shares are sold or otherwise disposed of and (iii) the price per Conversion Share is $0.78 or less, then the Company is required to pay to YA an amount equal to the product of (A) the difference between $0.78 and the price per Conversion Share and (B) the number of Conversion Shares.
· If Collateral Shares are sold or otherwise disposed of and the price per Conversion Share is more than $0.78, then YA is required to pay to the Company an amount equal to the product of (i) the difference between the price per Conversion Share and $0.78 and (ii) the number of Conversion Shares.
The Company also entered into the Call Agreement with YA, pursuant to which the Company may require YA to enter into a second loan and collar agreement substantially similar to the Loan Agreement, for a period of six months following the execution of the Call Agreement. This optional loan would be in an original principal amount equal to $3,274,409 and would be secured by 1,659,690 shares of Preferred Stock owned by YA pursuant to a pledge agreement substantially similar to the Pledge Agreement. The balance of the Preferred Stock owned by YA, or 76,030 shares, may be converted and sold by YA in its sole discretion (“Discretionary Sales”). YA is also subject to a beneficial ownership blocker and can only vote shares of the Company’s common stock that it owns, directly or on an as-converted basis, in an amount up to 9.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock (“Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).
If the Company requires YA to enter into a second loan and collar agreement, YA has agreed to vote in favor of revising the terms of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series J Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 28, 2012 (the “Certificate of Designation”), such that all protective and dilution provisions will be removed, as described in more detail in the Call Agreement. In addition, YA’s ability to waive its Beneficial Ownership Limitation will be removed, except in the case of a mandatory conversion of the Preferred Stock under the terms of the Certificate of Designation. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Call Agreement, the price per share of the Company’s common stock must be at least $0.60, but not more than $0.78. In addition, YA has agreed not to enter, either directly or indirectly, into any hedging arrangement, as described in more detail in the Call Agreement, with respect to any of the Company’s shares, and not to sell and/or convert any shares of Preferred Stock, other than in connection with Discretionary Sales.
Copies of each of the Loan Agreement, Pledge Agreement and Call Agreement were filed as exhibits to an 8K on May 23, 2013 and such documents are incorporated herein by reference. The information contained in this footnote is only a brief description of the material terms of such documents, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
8. Completion of Glen County Title Company (“GCTC”) Acquisition
In May 2012, the Company through its wholly owned Timios, Inc. subsidiary, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Glen County Title Company (“GCTC”) and its owners. The agreement stipulated that the Company, upon approval of the California Department of Insurance, would acquire GCTC for an initial cash purchase price of $175,000, subject to working capital requirements, and a twelve (12) month earnout of up to $200,000, subject to the former owner remaining as an employee of GCTC.
On June 6, 2013, the California Department of Insurance gave its regulatory approval to complete the acquisition under the terms of the original purchase and sale agreement. On June 15, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition, pursuant to the May 2012 agreement. The Company believes it is highly certain that the former owner of GCTC will achieve the maximum earnout as determined under the agreement.

In this report, the “Company,” “the Holding Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Timios National Corporation.
Overview
Timios National Corporation was incorporated in Delaware on August 12, 1997 under the name “Celerity Systems, Inc.” In August 2005, we changed our name to “Homeland Security Capital Corporation” and changed our business plan to seek acquisitions of and joint ventures with companies operating in the homeland security business sector and, until July 2011, operated soley as a provider of specialized, technology-based, radiological, nuclear, environmental, disaster relief and electronic security solutions to government and commercial customers. Our corporate headquarters is located in Arlington, Virginia.
On August 19, 2011, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of Corporate Security Solutions, Inc., the operating subsidiary of our 93%-owned Nexus Technologies Group, Inc. subsidiary and on October 31, 2011, we completed the sale of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Safety& Ecology Holdings Corporation. The proceeds from these sales were used to retire debt.
In July 2011, we expanded the scope of operations to include companies operating in the real estate services industry through our acquisition of Fiducia Real Estate Solutions, Inc. or “FRES”. FRES conducts its operations through three wholly owned operating companies: (1) Timios, Inc., or “Timios”, which is engaged nationally in title and escrow services for mortgage origination, refinance, reverse mortgages and deed-in-lieu transactions; (2) Timios Appraisal Management, Inc. , or “TAM”, which is engaged nationally in residential property appraisals; and (3) and Default Servicing USA, Inc., or “DSUSA”, which is engaged nationally in real estate-owned liquidation services to institutional real estate owned, or REO, customers.
In August 2012, we changed our name to Timios National Corporation.
The Company expects to grow these businesses both organically and through acquisitions. The Company continues to target growth companies that are generating revenues but face challenges in scaling their businesses to

capitalize on growth opportunities. The Company plans to enhance the operations of these companies by helping them generate new business, grow revenues, develop superior management, build infrastructure and improve cash flows.
Results of Operations
The Company operates businesses that provide products and services to the real estate industry through a wholly-owned subsidiary holding company FRES and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries; Timios and it’s wholly- owned subsidiaries TEI and GCTC; TAM and DSUSA. Our primary customers include financial institutions, mortgage lenders, government service enterprises and property portfolio managers. We derive our revenue from the sale of products and services that include title insurance, settlement services, REO transactions and deed-in-lieu transactions in the case of Timios, residential property appraisals in the case of TAM and residential asset management disposition transactions in the case of DSUSA.
The Company’s profitability is dependent on our volume in closing real estate transactions. Certain operating expenses of the Company are fixed regardless of how many closing transactions, and as a result the Company’s profitability is dependent on the volume of real estate closings. Real estate closing activity is affected by various factors including: general United States economic conditions, availability of mortgage credit, consumer confidence and interest rates, among others.
In general, rising interest rates tend to have a negative effect on the volume of real estate transactions. This is specifically the case for real estate transactions that include mortgage refinancing, a business channel that makes up a large portion of our closing transactions. From May 2013 until September 2013, mortgage interest rates in the U.S. increased by approximately 20%, before recently returning to pre May 2013 levels . This increase had a negative affect on our revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 as compared to our quarter ended June 30, 2013. We are not sure if or when mortagage interest rates will increase again, but if they do, the increased will likely lead to lower order volume and have a negative effect on revenue in our future quarters. Also affecting the Company’s volume of real estate closing transactions was the loss of a significant customer who exited the mortgage refinancing business entirely.
The Company has been changing the mix of services it offers, relying less on mortgage refinance products and adding deed-in-lieu, real estate owned (REO) and loan origination title and escrow services, the latter through the acquisition of the assets of Adobe Title LLC (see Note 6). Management believes that as the mix of services equalizes, mortgage interest rate fluctuations will have a lesser effect on our business.
Management considers Timios, TAM and DSUSA to be operating in the same industry, real estate products and services. As a result, management does not measure each company as if it was its own segment and accordingly does not include such segment data in this discussion.
Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2013 Compared To Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2012
Revenue
Timios’ main source of revenue is derived from title insurance fees and escrow service fees. TAM derives its revenue from residential property appraisals. DSUSA derives its revenue from fees associated with the management of properties, which are owned by banks or other mortgage lenders.
The table below reflects the revenue we recorded by each subsidiary:
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Increase/(Decrease) | | Increase/(Decrease) | |
Company | | 2013 | | 2012 | | $ | | % | |
Timios | | $ | 6,554,269 | | $ | 5,600,842 | | $ | 953,427 | | 17.2 | % |

Table of Contents
Timios’ revenue increased as a result of a 31% increase in real estate closings over the same period in 2012. The increased closings are attributed to the addition of new institutional customers and increases in volume from existing customers during the 2013 quarter, as well as the addition of revenue from TEI ($242,761) and GCTC ($158,757), neither of which were included in 2012. TAM’s revenue increased during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of its maturing operations which were in the startup phase during the same quarter in 2012. DSUSA’s revenue decrease is related to the DSUSA’s inability to attract customers for its asset management services. Management is considering several alternatives concerning DSUSA’s operations, including exiting the business.
Cost of Revenue
Costs associated with revenues include all direct labor and other non-labor costs and those indirect costs related to revenue generation such as fringe benefits, overhead labor, supplies and equipment rental in addition to depreciation on equipment.
The table below reflects the cost of revenue we recorded by each subsidiary:
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Increase/(Decrease) | | Increase/(Decrease) | |
Company | | 2013 | | 2012 | | $ | | % | |
Timios | | $ | 4,788,135 | | $ | 3,724,532 | | $ | 1,063,603 | | 28.6 | % |
TAM | | 278,953 | | 165,370 | | 113,583 | | 67.7 | % |
DSUSA | | 47 | | 146,077 | | (146,030 | ) | (100.0 | )% |
Total | | $ | 5,067,135 | | $ | 4,035,979 | | $ | 1,031,156 | | 25.5 | % |
Timios’ cost of revenue increased as a result of additional direct labor and overhead costs required to support increased revenues during the 2013 quarter. Also included in Timios’ cost of revenue are TEI ($106,722) and GCTC ($116,648) costs of revenue, which were not included in the same period of 2012. TAM’s cost of revenue increased during the three month period ended September 30, 2013, as a result of additional direct labor and overhead costs associated with its maturing operations. DSUSA’s cost of revenue decrease is directly related to servicing fewer customers and downsizing the operations during the 2013 quarter.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses consist of personnel costs of management, including fringe benefits, insurance and facility costs, travel and entertainment, depreciation and amortization, marketing, professional services such as legal and accounting costs and general administrative costs. During the quarter the Company decreased headcount, to align costs more directly with expected future revenue. To the extent possible, the Company has eliminated costs associated with redundant services carried on separately at each location by centralizing such activities.
The table below reflects the operating expenses we recorded by the Holding Company and each of the subsidiaries:
| | Three Months September 30, | | Increase/(Decrease) | | Increase/(Decrease) | |
Company | | 2013 | | 2012 | | $ | | % | |
Timios | | $ | 1,463,664 | | $ | 1,151,168 | | $ | 312,496 | | 27.1 | % |
TAM | | 36,335 | | 28,416 | | 7,919 | | 27.9 | % |
DSUSA | | 67,392 | | 45,946 | | 21,446 | | 46.7 | % |
Holding Company | | 359,529 | | 540,496 | | (180,967 | ) | (33.5 | )% |
Total | | $ | 1,926,920 | | $ | 1,766,026 | | $ | 160,894 | | 9.1 | % |
The Holding Company’s operating expense decrease is directly related to the decrease in professional fees, including legal, accounting and shareholder expenses during the three months ended September 2013.
Timios operating expense increase is related to the increase in indirect costs, mainly personnel and facility costs, associated with the expansion of the business and revenue growth in 2013, in addition to the operating expenses of TEI ($49,366) and GCTC ($7,599), in 2013, neither of which were included in the 2012 period. TAM’s

operating expense increase is directly related to indirect costs associated with increased revenue during the 2013 quarter. DSUSA’s operating expense increase is related to personnel costs associated with the separation of employees as the subsidiary continued downsizing during the 2013 quarter.
Other (income) expense
The table below reflects the other expense we recorded for the Holding Company and each of the subsidiaries:
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Increase/(Decrease) | | Increase/(Decrease) | |

Total | | $ | (61,607 | ) | $ | 57,604 | | $ | 119,211 | | 207.0 | % |
The Holding Company’s other income consisted primarily of the settlement of prior debt during the 2013 quarter. The favorable comparison to 2012 is the result of the elimination of interest costs and the settlement of debt in 2013.

Timios’ other expense in 2012 consisted of various miscellaneous charges in the normal course of business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s remaining debt owed to YA, its main borrowing source, has decreased significantly as a result of the 2012 exchange agreement and 2013 debt restructuring agreement. At September 30, 2013, the Company had two notes outstanding issued to YA; a 24 month non-recourse note in the principle amount of $168,530 (not including debt discounts) and a 24 month recourse note in the principle amount of $180,000 (not including debt discounts). The non-recourse note represents the amount due to the Company from the buyer of one of the Company’s former subsidiaries and is paid to YA as collected monthly in the amount of $10,184. The recourse note is paid to YA by the Company in $10,000 monthly installments.
The agreements described above have enabled the Company to use most of the cash generated from operations to expand the Company’s operations in anticipation of future growth, as opposed to service debt. Management believes that each of the subsidiaries can achieve meaningful organic growth for the remainder 2013 and beyond, however one or more acquisitions of product and/or service providers in the real estate industry will be required to achieve the relative size the Company projects in the future. The acquisition of the assets of Adobe Title, LLC as described in Note 6 will add additional revenue in 2013, however management believes the Company will experience negative cash flows while transitioning this business into its current operations. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to identify other suitable acquisition candidates and if it does, will be able to access the capital resources needed to complete such an acquisition. We continue to be vigilant in marshalling all of our resources, reducing costs where appropriate and expanding our businesses within our identified markets.
As mentioned above, the Company believes that the recent increase in interest rates in the U.S. will have a negative impact on our revenue and cash flows for the remainder of 2013. The Company is in the process of expanding its business channels into areas that are not as negatively affected by rising interest rates and has had some initial successes in doing so through the acquisition of the Adobe Title, LLC assets.
The Company had cash on hand of $775,546 at September 30, 2013. Our primary needs for cash are to fund and grow our ongoing operations and our secondary need for cash is to make additional acquisitions of businesses that provide products and services in our target industries. We will require additional capital to make significant acquisitions in the future.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company had a net decrease in cash of $790,212. The Company’s sources and uses of cash were as follows:
Cash Flows From Operating Activities
We provided net cash of $544,826 in our operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, consisting of a income of $537,727 (net income of $275,248, plus adjustments for non-cash items of
