Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	1.  Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Springleaf Holdings, Inc. (“SHI” or, collectively with its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly owned, “Springleaf,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Delaware corporation, primarily owned by Springleaf Financial Holdings, LLC (the “Initial Stockholder”).
	Following a series of restructuring transactions completed on October 9, 2013, in connection with the initial public offering of common stock of SHI, all of the common stock of Springleaf Finance, Inc. (“SFI”) is owned by SHI. On October 21, 2013, SHI completed the initial public offering of its common stock. At June 30, 2014, the Initial Stockholder owned approximately 75% of SHI’s common stock. The Initial Stockholder is owned primarily by a private equity fund managed by an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”) and AIG Capital Corporation, a subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”).
	SHI is a financial services holding company whose principal subsidiary is SFI. SFI’s principal subsidiary is Springleaf Finance Corporation (“SFC”), a financial services holding company with subsidiaries engaged in the consumer finance and credit insurance businesses.
	BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	We prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These statements are unaudited. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The statements include the accounts of SHI, its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly owned, except for certain subsidiaries associated with a joint venture in which we own a 47% equity interest), and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we hold a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date.
	We eliminated all material intercompany accounts and transactions. We made judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates. We evaluated the effects of and the need to disclose events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). We follow the same significant accounting policies for our interim reporting.
	In connection with SHI’s initial public offering of its common stock previously discussed, SFI became a wholly owned subsidiary of SHI. As a result, the financial statements of SFI have been adjusted on a retrospective basis, as appropriate, as financial statements of SHI.
	Prior Period Revisions
	As disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified certain out-of-period errors in preparing our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition to these errors, we had previously recorded and disclosed out-of-period adjustments in prior reporting periods when the errors were discovered. As a result, we revised all previously reported periods included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Similarly, we have revised all previously reported periods included in this report. We corrected the errors identified in the fourth quarter of 2013 and included these corrections in the appropriate prior periods. In addition, we reversed all out-of period adjustments previously recorded and disclosed, and included the adjustments in the appropriate periods. After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these corrections, we have determined that our previous applicable quarterly condensed financial statements and our annual consolidated financial statements were not materially misstated.
	See Note 17 for further information on the prior period revisions. The financial data for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was previously presented in our final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 16, 2013 related to our initial public offering of our common stock (the “Prospectus”). The financial data for the three months ended June 30, 2013 has not been previously reported.
	In addition, during the first quarter of 2014, we identified that the disclosure of the allowance for finance receivable losses related to our securitized finance receivables at December 31, 2013, was previously incorrectly overstated by $26.8 million. The parenthetical disclosure of the allowance of consolidated VIEs as of December 31, 2013 on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the related VIE disclosures in Notes 3 and 8 have been revised in this report to $153.7 million.
	During the first quarter of 2014, we also discovered that our long-term debt associated with securitizations that were issued at a discount and which had embedded derivatives, was incorrectly excluded from the fair value disclosure of our financial instruments measured on a recurring basis. The affected fair value amount has been corrected in Note 18 in this report to include the fair value of our long-term debt measured on a recurring basis of $363.7 million at December 31, 2013.
	During the second quarter of 2014, we discovered that we incorrectly disclosed the carrying values at the date of sale of the real estate loans associated with the 2009-1 securitization and certain additional real estate loans sold on March 31, 2014. The affected carrying values have been corrected in Notes 1, 3, and 4 in this report as follows: (i) the carrying value of real estate loans associated with the 2009-1 securitization that were sold on March 31, 2014, was previously reported as $742.0 million but has been corrected to be $724.9 million and (ii) the carrying value of additional real estate loans sold on March 31, 2014, was previously reported as $93.3 million but has been corrected to be $89.9 million.
	After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these corrections (individually and in the aggregate), management has determined that our previously issued interim and annual consolidated financial statements were not materially misstated.
	Fortress Acquisition
	Due to the significance of the ownership interest acquired by FCFI Acquisition LLC, an affiliate of Fortress, (the “Fortress Acquisition”), the nature of the transaction, and at the direction of our acquirer, we applied push-down accounting to SFI as an acquired business. We revalued our assets and liabilities based on their fair values at the date of the Fortress Acquisition, November 30, 2010, in accordance with business combination accounting standards (“push-down accounting”).
	SIGNIFICANT 2014 TRANSACTIONS
	Sale of 2010-1 Retained Certificates
	On March 30, 2010, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC sold $716.9 million of certificates backed by real estate loans of the American General Mortgage Loan Trust 2010-1 (the “2010-1 Trust”). We initially retained $285.8 million of the 2010-1 Trust’s subordinate mortgage-backed certificates (the “2010-1 Retained Certificates”).
	On June 1, 2014, the real estate loans included in the transaction were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future.
	We completed the sale of the 2010-1 Retained Certificates on June 30, 2014, at which time, the real estate loans included in the transaction had a carrying value of $444.4 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses). As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt, as we no longer were considered the primary beneficiary.
	Sale of 2009-1 Retained Certificates
	On July 30, 2009, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC sold $1.2 billion of certificates backed by real estate loans of the American General Mortgage Loan Trust 2009-1 (the “2009-1 Trust”). We initially retained $786.3 million of the 2009-1 Trust’s subordinate mortgage-backed certificates (the “2009-1 Retained Certificates”).
	On March 1, 2014, the real estate loans included in the transaction were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future.
	We completed the sale of the 2009-1 Retained Certificates on March 31, 2014, at which time, the real estate loans included in the transaction had a carrying value of $724.9 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses). As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt, as we no longer were considered the primary beneficiary.
	Sale of Real Estate Loans
	On March 7, 2014, we entered into an agreement to sell, subject to certain closing conditions, certain performing and non-performing real estate loans. We completed this sale on March 31, 2014, at which time, the real estate loans included in the transaction had a carrying value of $89.9 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses). On March 1, 2014, these loans were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future.
	ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ADOPTED
	Income Taxes
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”), ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which clarifies the presentation requirements of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU became effective prospectively for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
	ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS TO BE ADOPTED
	Troubled Debt Restructurings
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, which clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs — that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The ASU requires a creditor to reclassify a collateralized consumer mortgage loan to real estate property upon obtaining legal title to the real estate collateral, or the borrower voluntarily conveying all interest in the real estate property to the lender to satisfy the loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which redefines when the disposal of a component of entity or a group of assets is required to be reported in discontinued operations. The ASU requires a reporting entity to report disposals of components of an entity or a group of assets in discontinued operations when the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014, but can be early adopted.
	Revenue from Contracts
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a consistent revenue accounting model across industries. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Many of our revenue sources are not within the scope of this new standard and we are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU for those revenue sources that are in scope will have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
	Share-based Payments
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which clarifies that performance targets within share-based payment awards that can be met after the requisite service period should be considered performance conditions that affect vesting. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
	ACCOUNTING POLICY ELECTIONS
	We made certain policy elections with regard to the issuance of long-term debt related to the 2014-A securitization and have updated our long-term debt policy previously disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K to reflect these elections. The updated long-term debt policy is presented below:
	Long-term Debt
	We generally report our long-term debt issuances at the face value of the debt instrument, which we adjust for any unaccreted discount or unamortized premium associated with the debt. We make policy elections on a security by security basis with regard to the methodology used to accrete discounts and premiums. Other than securitized products, we generally accrete discounts and premiums over the contractual life of the security using contractual payment terms. With respect to securitized products, we have historically elected to use estimated prepayment patterns adjusted for changes in estimate over the estimated life of the debt. However, in certain circumstances, including our policy election for the 2014-A securitization, we elect to amortize deferred items over the contractual life of the security. Under either treatment, such accretion is recorded to interest expense. Additionally, we generally accrete other deferred amounts (e.g. issuance costs) following the same method elected on the associated unaccreted discount or premium.

	2.  Finance Receivables
	Our finance receivable types include personal loans, SpringCastle Portfolio, real estate loans, and retail sales finance as defined below:
	·            Personal loans — are secured by consumer goods, automobiles, or other personal property or are unsecured, generally have maximum original terms of four years, and are usually fixed-rate, fixed-term loans. At June 30, 2014, $1.5 billion of personal loans, or 45%, were secured by collateral consisting of titled personal property (such as automobiles), $1.3 billion, or 39%, were secured by consumer household goods or other items of personal property, and the remainder was unsecured.
	·            SpringCastle Portfolio — are loans jointly acquired from HSBC Finance Corporation and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “HSBC”) on April 1, 2013 through a joint venture in which we own a 47% equity interest. These loans include unsecured loans and loans secured by subordinate residential real estate mortgages (which we service as unsecured loans due to the fact that the liens are subordinated to superior ranking security interests). The SpringCastle Portfolio includes both closed-end accounts and open-end lines of credit. These loans are in a liquidating status and vary in substance and form from our originated loans.
	·            Real estate loans — are secured by first or second mortgages on residential real estate, generally have maximum original terms of 360 months, and are usually considered non-conforming. Real estate loans may be closed-end accounts or open-end home equity lines of credit and are primarily fixed-rate products.
	·            Retail sales finance — includes retail sales contracts and revolving retail accounts. Retail sales contracts are closed-end accounts that represent a single purchase transaction. Revolving retail accounts are open-end accounts that can be used for financing repeated purchases from the same merchant. Retail sales contracts are secured by the personal property designated in the contract and generally have maximum original terms of 60 months. Revolving retail accounts are secured by the goods purchased and generally require minimum monthly payments based on the amount financed calculated after the most recent purchase or outstanding balances. In January 2013, we ceased purchasing retail sales contracts and revolving retail accounts.

	*                 Gross receivables are defined below:
	·            finance receivables purchased as a performing receivable — gross finance receivables equal the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) for interest bearing accounts and the gross remaining contractual payments for precompute accounts; additionally, the remaining unearned discount, net of premium established at the time of purchase is included in both interest bearing and precompute accounts to reflect the finance receivable balance at its fair value;
	·            finance receivables originated subsequent to the Fortress Acquisition — gross finance receivables equal the UPB for interest bearing accounts and the gross remaining contractual payments for precompute accounts; and
	·            purchased credit impaired finance receivables — gross finance receivables equal the remaining estimated cash flows less the current balance of accretable yield on the purchased credit impaired accounts.
	Included in the table above are personal loans totaling $1.9 billion at June 30, 2014 and $1.6 billion at December 31, 2013, SpringCastle Portfolio loans totaling $2.2 billion at June 30, 2014 and $2.5 billion at December 31, 2013, and real estate loans totaling $4.2 billion at June 30, 2014 and $5.7 billion at December 31, 2013 associated with securitizations that remain on our balance sheet. The carrying amount of consolidated long-term debt associated with securitizations totaled $6.5 billion at June 30, 2014 and $7.3 billion at December 31, 2013. See Note 8 for further discussion regarding our securitization transactions. Also included in the table above are finance receivables totaling $1.0 billion at December 31, 2013, which were pledged as collateral for our secured term loan that we fully repaid in March 2014. See Note 7 for further discussion of the repayment of our secured term loan.
	Unused lines of credit extended to customers by the Company were as follows:
		June 30,			December 31,
	(dollars in thousands)	2014			2013
	Personal loans	$	1,445		$	4,996
	SpringCastle Portfolio	369,016			366,060
	Real estate loans	29,759			32,338
	Total	$	400,220		$	403,394
	Unused lines of credit on our personal loans can be suspended if one of the following occurs: the value of the collateral declines significantly; we believe the borrower will be unable to fulfill the repayment obligations; or any other default by the borrower of any material obligation under the agreement. Unused lines of credit on our real estate loans and the SpringCastle Portfolio secured by subordinate residential real estate mortgages can be suspended if one of the following occurs: (1) the value of the real estate declines significantly below the property’s initial appraised value; (2) we believe the borrower will be unable to fulfill the repayment obligations because of a material change in the borrower’s financial circumstances; or (3) any other default by the borrower of any material obligation under the agreement occurs. Unused lines of credit on home equity lines of credit, including the SpringCastle Portfolio secured by subordinate residential real estate mortgages, can be terminated for delinquency. Unused lines of credit on the unsecured loans of the SpringCastle Portfolio can be terminated at our discretion.
	CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORS
	We consider the delinquency status and nonperforming status of the finance receivable as our credit quality indicators.
	We accrue finance charges on revolving retail finance receivables up to the date of charge-off at 180 days past due. We had $0.2 million of revolving retail finance receivables that were more than 90 days past due and still accruing finance charges at June 30, 2014, compared to $0.4 million at December 31, 2013. Our personal loans, SpringCastle Portfolio, and real estate loans do not have finance receivables that were more than 90 days past due and still accruing finance charges.
	Delinquent Finance Receivables
	We consider the delinquency status of the finance receivable as our primary credit quality indicator. We monitor delinquency trends to manage our exposure to credit risk. We consider finance receivables 60 days or more past due as delinquent and consider the likelihood of collection to decrease at such time.
	The following is a summary of net finance receivables by type and by days delinquent:

Nonperforming Finance Receivables
We also monitor finance receivable performance trends to evaluate the potential risk of future credit losses. At 90 days or more past due, we consider our finance receivables to be nonperforming. Once the finance receivables are considered as nonperforming, we consider them to be at increased risk for credit loss.
Our performing and nonperforming net finance receivables by type were as follows:
	Personal			SpringCastle			Real			Retail
(dollars in thousands)	Loans			Portfolio			Estate Loans			Sales Finance			Total
June 30, 2014
Performing	$	3,354,498		$	2,146,129		$	5,878,694		$	66,836		$	11,446,157

PURCHASED CREDIT IMPAIRED FINANCE RECEIVABLES
As a result of the Fortress Acquisition, we applied push-down accounting and adjusted the carrying value of our finance receivables (the “FA Loans”) to their fair value on November 30, 2010. For purchased finance receivables, such as the SpringCastle Portfolio (“SCP Loans”), we also record these loans at fair value on the day of purchase.
As part of the acquisition of the SpringCastle Portfolio, we determined that at April 1, 2013, acquired loans with contractually required principal and interest of $1.9 billion, expected undiscounted cash flows of $1.2 billion, and a fair value of $748.9 million, were credit impaired.
We include the carrying amount (which initially was the fair value) of our purchased credit impaired finance receivables in net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses. Prepayments reduce the outstanding balance, contractual cash flows, and cash flows expected to be collected.
Information regarding these purchased credit impaired finance receivables was as follows:
(dollars in thousands)	SCP Loans			FA Loans			Total
June 30, 2014
Carrying amount, net of allowance	$	415,839		$	1,065,751		$	1,481,590

Allowance for purchased credit impaired finance receivable losses	$	—		$	57,334		$	57,334
The allowance for purchased credit impaired finance receivable losses at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, reflected the net carrying value of these purchased credit impaired finance receivables being higher than the present value of the expected cash flows.
Changes in accretable yield for purchased credit impaired finance receivables were as follows:

	(b)       During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we reduced the carrying value of certain real estate loans to $451.2 million and $1.3 billion, respectively, as a result of the transfers of these loans from finance receivables held for investment to finance receivables held for sale due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future.
	(c)        Recoveries during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 included $41.2 million ($25.4 million of personal loan recoveries, $9.9 million of real estate loan recoveries, and $5.9 million of retail sales finance recoveries) resulting from a sale of previously charged-off finance receivables in June 2013.
	(d)       Recoveries during the six months ended June 30, 2014 included $2.2 million of real estate loan recoveries resulting from a sale of previously charged-off real estate loans in March 2014, net of a $0.2 million reserve for subsequent buybacks.
	(e)        Effective March 31, 2013, we charge off to the allowance for finance receivable losses personal loans that are 180 days past due. Previously, we charged-off to the allowance for finance receivable losses personal loans on which payments received in the prior six months totaled less than 5% of the original loan amount. As a result of this change, we recorded $13.3 million of additional charge-offs in March 2013.
	Included in the allowance for finance receivable losses are allowances associated with securitizations that totaled $171.7 million at June 30, 2014 and $153.7 million at December 31, 2013. See Note 8 for further discussion regarding our securitization transactions.

	4.  Finance Receivables Held for Sale
	As discussed in Note 1, on June 1, 2014, we transferred real estate loans with a carrying value of $451.2 million from finance receivables held for investment to held for sale due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. On June 30, 2014, we sold finance receivables held for sale with a carrying value of $444.4 million and related trust assets and recorded a net gain at the time of sale of $34.8 million primarily resulting from the reversal of the remaining unaccreted push-down accounting basis for these finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses that we established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition.
	As also discussed in Note 1, on March 1, 2014, we transferred real estate loans with a carrying value of $825.2 million from finance receivables held for investment to held for sale due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. On March 31, 2014, we sold finance receivables held for sale with a carrying value of $814.8 million and related trust assets and recorded a net gain at the time of sale of $55.2 million primarily resulting from the reversal of the remaining unaccreted push-down accounting basis for these finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses that we established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition.
	We did not have any transfer activity between finance receivables held for investment to finance receivables held for sale during the first half of 2013.
	LOAN REPURCHASES
	We repurchased five loans for $0.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. We repurchased two loans for $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 17 loans for $2.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. In each period, we repurchased the loans that were previously sold to HSBC because these loans were reaching the defined delinquency limits or had breached the contractual representations and warranties under the loan sale agreements. At June 30, 2014, there were no unresolved recourse requests.

	GUARANTY AGREEMENTS
	On December 30, 2013, SHI entered into Guaranty Agreements whereby it agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the payment of principal of, premium (if any), and interest on approximately $5.2 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes on a senior basis and $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of a junior subordinated debenture (collectively, the “notes”) on a junior subordinated basis issued by SFC. The notes consist of the following: 8.250% Senior Notes due 2023; 7.750% Senior Notes due 2021; 6.00% Senior Notes due 2020; a 60-year junior subordinated debenture; and all senior notes outstanding on December 30, 2013, issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of May 1, 1999 (the “1999 Indenture”), between SFC and Wilmington Trust, National Association (the successor trustee to Citibank N.A.). As of December 30, 2013, approximately $3.9 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes were outstanding under the 1999 Indenture. The 60-year junior subordinated debenture underlies the trust preferred securities sold by a trust sponsored by SFC. On December 30, 2013, SHI entered into a Trust Guaranty Agreement whereby it agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the related payment obligations under the trust preferred securities. As of June 30, 2014, approximately $5.1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, including $3.9 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes under the 1999 Indenture, and $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of a junior subordinated debenture were outstanding.
	REPURCHASE OR REPAYMENT OF DEBT
	In connection with our liability management efforts, we or our affiliates from time to time have purchased, or may in the future purchase, portions of our outstanding indebtedness. Any such purchases may be made through open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties or pursuant to one or more tender or exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices, as well as with such consideration as we or any such affiliates may determine. Our plans are dynamic and we may adjust our plans in response to changes in our expectations and changes in market conditions.
	On March 31, 2014, Springleaf Financial Funding Company (“SFFC”) prepaid, without penalty or premium, the entire $750.0 million outstanding principal balance of the secured term loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Effective upon the prepayment, all obligations of SFFC, SFC, and most of the consumer finance operating subsidiaries of SFC under the secured term loan (other than contingent reimbursement obligations and indemnity obligations) were terminated and all guarantees and security interests were released.

	8.  Variable Interest Entities
	As part of our overall funding strategy and as part of our efforts to support our liquidity from sources other than our traditional capital market sources, we have transferred certain finance receivables to VIEs for securitization transactions. Since these transactions involve securitization trusts required to be consolidated, the securitized assets and related liabilities are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements and are accounted for as secured borrowings. As a result of the sales of the 2010-1 and 2009-1 retained certificates, we deconsolidated the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt.
	CONSOLIDATED VIES
	We evaluated the securitization trusts and determined that these entities are VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary; therefore, we consolidate such entities. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiaries of these VIEs because we have the ability to direct the activities of each VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that are potentially significant to the VIE. Such ability stems from SHI’s and/or its affiliates’ contractual right to service the securitized finance receivables. Our retained subordinated notes and residual interest trust certificates expose us to potentially significant losses and potentially significant returns.
	The asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities issued by the securitization trusts are supported by the expected cash flows from the underlying securitized finance receivables. Cash inflows from these finance receivables are distributed to investors and service providers in accordance with each transaction’s contractual priority of payments (“waterfall”) and, as such, most of these inflows must be directed first to service and repay each trust’s senior notes or certificates held principally by third-party investors. After these senior obligations are extinguished, substantially all cash inflows will be directed to the subordinated notes until fully repaid and, thereafter, to the residual interest that we own in each trust. We retain interests in these securitization transactions, including senior and subordinated securities issued by the VIEs and residual interests. We retain credit risk in the securitizations because our retained interests include the most subordinated interest in the securitized assets, which are the first to absorb credit losses on the securitized assets. We expect that any credit losses in the pools of securitized assets will likely be limited to our subordinated and residual retained interests. We have no obligation to repurchase or replace qualified securitized assets that subsequently become delinquent or are otherwise in default.
	The carrying amounts of consolidated VIE assets and liabilities associated with our securitization trusts were as follows:
		June 30,		December 31,
	(dollars in thousands)	2014		2013

	2014 Consumer Loan Securitizations
	Whitford Brook 2014-VFN1 Securitization. On June 26, 2014, we established a private securitization facility in which Whitford Brook Funding Trust 2014-VFN1 (the “Whitford Brook 2014-VFN1 Trust”), a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC, may issue variable funding notes with a maximum principal balance of $300 million to be backed by personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC. The notes will be funded over a three-year period, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. During this period, the notes can also be paid down to the required minimum balance of $100 million and then redrawn. Following the three-year funding period, the principal amount of the notes will be reduced as cash payments are received on the underlying personal loans and will be due and payable in full in July 2018, unless an option to prepay is elected between July 2017 and July 2018. At June 30, 2014, the required minimum balance of $100 million was drawn under the notes.
	2014-A Securitization. On March 26, 2014, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC sold $559.3 million of notes backed by personal loans held by Springleaf Funding Trust 2014-A (the “2014-A Trust”), at a 2.62% weighted average yield. We sold the asset-backed notes for $559.2 million, after the price discount but before expenses and a $6.4 million interest reserve requirement. We initially retained $32.9 million of the 2014-A Trust’s subordinate asset-backed notes.
	Sales of Previously Retained Notes
	As discussed in Note 1, the Company’s remaining beneficial interests in the 2010-1 Trust and 2009-1 Trust were sold through an unaffiliated initial purchaser on June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. As a result of these sales, we deconsolidated the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt, as we no longer were considered the primary beneficiary.
	During the second quarter of 2013, we sold the following previously retained mortgage-backed notes:
		Previously
		Retained		Additional
		Notes		Debt
	(dollars in thousands)	Issued		Recorded
	Mortgage Securitizations
	SLFMT 2012-2	$	20,000	$	20,675
	SLFMT 2012-3	7,500		7,753
	Renewal of Midbrook 2013-VFN1 Securitization
	On September 26, 2013, we established a private securitization facility in which Midbrook Funding Trust 2013-VFN1 (the “Midbrook 2013-VFN1 Trust”), a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC, could issue variable funding notes with a maximum principal balance of $300 million to be backed by personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC from time to time. No amounts were funded at closing, but could be funded from time to time over a one-year period, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. During this period, the notes could also be paid down in whole or in part and then redrawn. Following the one-year funding period, the principal amount of the notes, if any, would amortize and would be due and payable in full in October 2017.
	On June 13, 2014, we amended the note purchase agreement with Midbrook 2013-VFN1 Trust to extend the one-year funding period to a two-year funding period. Following the two-year funding period, the principal amount of the notes, if any, will be reduced as cash payments are received on the underlying personal loans and will be due and payable in full in July 2019. The maximum principal balance of variable funding notes that can be issued remained at $300 million. No amounts were funded at closing.
	Repayment of 2013-BAC Trust Notes
	On September 25, 2013, we completed a private securitization transaction in which Springleaf Funding Trust 2013-BAC, a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC, issued $500 million of notes backed by an amortizing pool of personal loans acquired from subsidiaries of SFC. On March 27, 2014, we repaid the entire $231.3 million outstanding principal balance of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
	VIE Interest Expense
	Other than our retained subordinate and residual interests in the consolidated securitization trusts, we are under no obligation, either contractually or implicitly, to provide financial support to these entities. Consolidated interest expense related to these VIEs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $62.7 million and $129.5 million, respectively, compared to $59.2 million and $89.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
	UNCONSOLIDATED VIE
	As a result of the sales of the 2010-1 and 2009-1 retained certificates on June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively, we deconsolidated the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt. The total carrying value of the real estate loans as of the sale dates were $1.2 billion. We have certain representations and warranties associated with these sales that may expose us to future losses. As of June 30, 2014, we have not established a reserve for sales recourse obligations related to these sales, as we had no repurchase activity. However, we will continue to monitor any repurchase activity in the future and establish a reserve accordingly.

	9.  Derivative Financial Instruments
	Our principal borrowing subsidiary is SFC. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, SFC did not have any derivative activity. However, SFC has used derivative financial instruments in managing the cost of its debt and its return on finance receivables held for sale, but was neither a dealer nor a trader in derivative financial instruments.
	In January 2013, we reclassified $0.2 million of deferred net gain from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss to interest expense related to SFC’s election to discontinue and terminate one of its cash flow hedges in 2012. On August 5, 2013, SFC terminated its remaining cross currency interest rate swap agreement with AIG Financial Products Corp., a subsidiary of AIG, and recorded a loss of $1.9 million in other revenues — other. Immediately following this termination, we had no derivative financial instruments.
	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized $0.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively, of net losses on SFC’s non-designated hedging instruments in other revenues — other.
	Derivative adjustments included in other revenues — other consisted of the following:
		Three Months			Six Months
		Ended			Ended
		June 30,			June 30,
	(dollars in thousands)	2013			2013

	Net interest income	3,862			7,460
	Credit valuation adjustment gains (losses)	(1		)	39
	Total	$	6,232		$	(7,005	)
	SFC was exposed to credit risk if counterparties to its swap agreement did not perform. SFC regularly monitored counterparty credit ratings throughout the term of the agreement. SFC’s exposure to market risk was limited to changes in the value of its swap agreement offset by changes in the value of the hedged debt. While SFC’s cross currency interest rate swap agreement mitigated economic exposure of related debt, it did not qualify as a cash flow or fair value hedge under U.S. GAAP.

	At June 30, 2014, we had a net deferred tax asset of $20.8 million, compared to a net deferred tax liability of $128.3 million at December 31, 2013. The change from a net deferred tax liability to a net deferred tax asset was primarily due to the deconsolidation of the 2010-1 and 2009-1 securitizations during the first half of 2014. We have a valuation allowance on our gross state deferred tax assets, net of a deferred federal tax benefit of $25.8 million, at June 30, 2014 compared to $23.8 million at December 31, 2013. We also had a valuation allowance against our United Kingdom and Puerto Rico operations of $21.9 million at June 30, 2014 and $21.4 million at December 31, 2013. The impact to our uncertain tax positions was immaterial.
	The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 30.5% compared to 22.1% for the same period in 2013. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of the non-controlling interest in our joint venture, which decreased the effective tax rate by 7.0%. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of the non-controlling interest in our joint venture.

	LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
	In the normal course of business, the Company has been named, from time to time, as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation arising in connection with its activities. Some of the actual or threatened legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. While we will continue to identify certain legal actions where we believe a material loss to be reasonably possible and reasonably estimable, there can be no assurance that material losses will not be incurred from claims that we have not yet been notified of or are not yet determined to be probable or reasonably possible and reasonably estimable.
	We contest liability and/or the amount of damages, as appropriate, in each pending matter. Where available information indicates that it is probable that a liability had been incurred at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and we can reasonably estimate the amount of that loss, we accrue the estimated loss by a charge to income. In many actions, however, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the amount of any loss. In addition, even where loss is reasonably possible or an exposure to loss exists in excess of the liability already accrued with respect to a previously recognized loss contingency, it is not always possible to reasonably estimate the size of the possible loss or range of loss.
	For certain legal actions, we cannot reasonably estimate such losses, particularly for actions that are in their early stages of development or where plaintiffs seek substantial or indeterminate damages. Numerous issues may need to be resolved, including through potentially lengthy discovery and determination of important factual matters, and by addressing novel or unsettled legal questions relevant to the actions in question, before a loss or additional loss or range of loss or additional loss can be reasonably estimated for any given action.
	For certain other legal actions, we can estimate reasonably possible losses, additional losses, ranges of loss or ranges of additional loss in excess of amounts accrued, but do not believe, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that such losses will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole.
	PAYMENT PROTECTION INSURANCE
	Our United Kingdom subsidiary provides payments of compensation to its customers who have made claims concerning Payment Protection Insurance (“PPI”) policies sold in the normal course of business by insurance intermediaries. On April 20, 2011, the High Court in the United Kingdom handed down judgment supporting the Financial Services Authority (now known as the Financial Conduct Authority) (“FCA”) guidelines on the treatment of PPI complaints. In addition, the FCA issued a guidance consultation paper in March 2012 on the PPI customer contact letters. As a result, we have concluded that there are certain circumstances where customer contact and/or redress is appropriate; therefore, this activity is ongoing. The total reserves related to the estimated PPI claims were $24.2 million at June 30, 2014 and $33.5 million at December 31, 2013.

	16.  Segment Information
	Our segments coincide with how our businesses are managed. At June 30, 2014, our four segments include: Consumer, Insurance, Acquisitions and Servicing, and Real Estate. The Acquisitions and Servicing segment was added effective April 1, 2013, as a result of our co-investment in the SpringCastle Portfolio.
	Management considers Consumer, Insurance, and Acquisitions and Servicing as our “Core Consumer Operations” and Real Estate as our “Non-Core Portfolio.”
	Our segments are managed as follows:
	Core Consumer Operations
	·            Consumer — We originate and service personal loans (secured and unsecured) through two business divisions: branch operations and centralized internet. Branch operations primarily conduct business in 26 states, which are our core operating states. Centralized internet processes and underwrites loan applications that we receive through an internet portal. If the applicant is located near an existing branch (“in footprint”), our centralized internet lending division makes the credit decision regarding the application and then refers the customer to a nearby branch for closing, funding and servicing. If the applicant is not located near a branch (“out of footprint”), the centralized internet group originates the loan.
	·            Insurance — We offer credit insurance (life insurance, accident and health insurance, and involuntary unemployment insurance), non-credit insurance, and ancillary products, such as warranty protection.
	·            Acquisitions and Servicing — On April 1, 2013, we acquired the SpringCastle Portfolio through a joint venture in which we own a 47% equity interest. The SpringCastle Portfolio consists of unsecured loans and loans secured by subordinate residential real estate mortgages (which we service as unsecured loans due to the fact that the liens are subordinated to superior ranking security interests). These loans vary in form and substance from our typical branch serviced loans and are in a liquidating status with no anticipation of significant renewal activity. Future strategic portfolio or business acquisitions will also be a part of this segment.
	Non-Core Portfolio
	·       Real Estate — We service and hold real estate loans secured by first or second mortgages on residential real estate. Real estate loans previously originated through our branch offices are either serviced by our branch personnel or by our centralized servicing operation. Real estate loans previously acquired or originated through centralized distribution channels are serviced by one of our indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, MorEquity, all of which are subserviced by Nationstar, except for certain securitized real estate loans, which were serviced and subserviced by third parties prior to the sale of these real estate loans on March 31, 2014. Investment funds managed by affiliates of Fortress indirectly own a majority interest in Nationstar.
	The remaining components (which we refer to as “Other”) consist of our other non-core, non-originating legacy operations, which are isolated by geographic market and/or distribution channel from our Core Consumer Operations and our Non-Core Portfolio. These operations include our legacy operations in 14 states where we have also ceased branch-based personal lending, our liquidating retail sales finance portfolio (including our retail sales finance accounts from our dedicated auto finance operation), our lending operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the operations of our United Kingdom subsidiary. Effective June 1, 2014, we also report (on a prospective basis) certain real estate loans with equity capacity in Other. These short equity loans, which have liquidated down to an immaterial level, were previously included in our Core Consumer Operations. At June 1, 2014, the transfer date, these loans totaled $16.3 million.
	Due to the nature of the Fortress Acquisition, we applied push-down accounting. However, we report the operating results of our Core Consumer Operations, Non-Core Portfolio, and Other using the same accounting basis that we employed prior to the Fortress Acquisition, which we refer to as “historical accounting basis,” to provide a consistent basis for both management and other interested third parties to better understand the operating results of these segments. The historical accounting basis (which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP) also provides better comparability of the operating results of these segments to our competitors and other companies in the financial services industry. The historical accounting basis is not applicable to the Acquisitions and Servicing segment since this segment resulted from the purchase of the SpringCastle Portfolio on April 1, 2013 and therefore, was not affected by the Fortress Acquisition.
	The “Push-down Accounting Adjustments” column in the following tables primarily consists of:
	·       the accretion or amortization of the valuation adjustments on the applicable revalued assets and liabilities;
	·       the difference in finance charges on our purchased credit impaired finance receivables compared to the finance charges on these finance receivables on a historical accounting basis;
	·       the elimination of accretion or amortization of historical based discounts, premiums, and other deferred costs on our finance receivables and long-term debt;
	·       the difference in provision required based upon the differences in historical accounting basis and push-down accounting basis of the finance receivables;
	·       the acceleration of the accretion of the net discount or amortization of the net premium applied to long-term debt that we repurchase or repay;
	·       the reversal of the remaining unaccreted push-down accounting basis for net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses established at the date of the Fortress Acquisition on finance receivables held for sale that we sold; and
	·       the difference in the fair value of long-term debt based upon the differences between historical accounting basis where certain long-term debt components are marked-to-market on a recurring basis, and push-down accounting basis where long-term debt is no longer marked-to-market on a recurring basis.

	17.  Prior Period Revisions
	As disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified certain out-of-period errors in preparing our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition to these errors, we had previously recorded and disclosed out-of-period adjustments in prior reporting periods when the errors were discovered. As a result, we revised all previously reported periods included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Similarly, we have revised all previously reported periods included in this report. We corrected the errors identified in the fourth quarter of 2013 and included these corrections in the appropriate prior periods. In addition, we reversed all out-of period adjustments previously recorded and disclosed, and included the adjustments in the appropriate periods. After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these corrections, we have determined that our previous quarterly condensed financial statements and our annual consolidated financial statements were not materially misstated.
	The errors identified in the fourth quarter of 2013 related to the following: (1) the accretion of net discount applied to long-term debt that was revalued based on its fair value at the time of the Fortress Acquisition; (2) the accretion of original issue net discount on our long-term debt issued subsequent to the Fortress Acquisition; (3) the carrying values of our tranches of long-term debt that were issued at a discount and which have embedded derivatives, and the related change in fair value; (4) the classification of certain investment securities found to contain embedded derivatives and the accounting treatment of the related change in fair value; and (5) the continued accretion of discounts on loans in non-accrual status.
	In addition, we made other corrections during the fourth quarter of 2013, which were isolated to intra-periods in 2013, and revised the appropriate periods of 2013 in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this report. These revisions related to the following: (1) servicing fee expenses for the SpringCastle Portfolio pursuant to an interim servicing agreement that was in place between April 1, 2013 and August 31, 2013; (2) accretion of the unearned discount for non-credit impaired loans in the SpringCastle Portfolio and the resulting adjustment to the allowance for finance receivable losses for the SpringCastle Portfolio; (3) finance charge calculation on our internal servicing system for the SpringCastle Portfolio; and (4) charge-offs on certain qualified real estate loans that had not been granted principal forgiveness.
	We also recorded the previously disclosed out-of-period adjustments in the appropriate periods. These adjustments primarily related to the following:
	·       capitalized interest on purchased credit impaired finance receivables serviced by a third party;
	·       the difference between the hypothetical derivative interest expense and the contractual derivative interest expense;
	·       the identification of certain bankrupt real estate loan accounts for consideration as TDR finance receivables;
	·       to correct certain inputs in our model supporting the TDR allowance for finance receivable losses;
	·       distributions of limited partnerships;
	·       the calculations of the carrying value for our real estate owned and the net loss on sales of our real estate owned that are externally serviced;
	·       the calculation of real estate owned expenses;
	·       payable to former parent related to any refund of (or credit for) taxes, including any interest received;
	·       benefit reserves related to a closed block of annuities;
	·       change in estimate for the taxable income related to mortgage securitizations; and
	·       the correction of current and deferred tax expense.
	In addition to the revisions previously discussed, during the fourth quarter of 2013 we identified presentation errors in the classification of certain line items within our consolidated statement of cash flows and revised the appropriate line items in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this report. These errors related to the following:
	·       the income tax effect on the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income related to retirement plan liabilities and net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities and cash flow hedges were incorrectly included in “Change in other assets and other liabilities” instead of “Change in taxes receivable and payable” within the same operating activities section;
	·       certain debt issue costs were incorrectly included in “Change in other assets and other liabilities” within the operating activities section instead of “Proceeds from issuance of long-term debt, net of commissions” within the financing activities section;
	·       advances on SpringCastle’s revolving loans were incorrectly included as a reduction to “Principal collections on finance receivables” instead of “Finance receivables originated or purchased, net of deferred origination costs” within the same investing activities section;
	·       the deferred costs on the repurchased debt incurred after the Fortress Acquisition were incorrectly included in “Change in other assets and other liabilities” instead of “Net loss on repurchases and repayments of debt” within the same operating activities section;
	·       accrued interest and finance charges on real estate loan modifications were incorrectly included in “Principal collections on finance receivables” within the investing activities section instead of “Change in accrued interest and finance charges” within the operating activities section; and
	·       “Deferral of finance receivable origination costs” was incorrectly included within the operating activities section instead of the investing activities section.
	Revised Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations (Unaudited)
	The following table reconciles the amounts previously reported in our condensed consolidated statement of operations to the corresponding revised amounts. The “Out-of-Period” column reflects the previously disclosed out-of period adjustments that are now being corrected in the appropriate periods. The “Adjustments” column reflects the corrections of the errors discovered during the fourth quarter of 2013.

	18.  Fair Value Measurements
	The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received if an asset were to be sold or the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates with the level of pricing observability. Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments traded in other-than-active markets or that do not have quoted prices have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing techniques that require more judgment. An other-than-active market is one in which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or little information is released publicly for the asset or liability being valued. Pricing observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is listed on an exchange or traded over-the-counter or is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction, and general market conditions.
	The following table summarizes the fair values and carrying values of our financial instruments and indicates the fair value hierarchy based on the level of inputs we utilized to determine such fair values:

As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category presented in the Level 3 tables above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.
The unobservable inputs and quantitative data used in our Level 3 valuations for our investment securities were developed and used in models created by our third-party valuation service providers, which values were used by us for fair value disclosure purposes without adjustment. We applied the third party exception which allows us to omit certain quantitative disclosures about unobservable inputs for other long-term investments. As a result, the weighted average ranges of the inputs for these investment securities are not applicable in the following table.
Quantitative information about Level 3 inputs for our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which information about the unobservable inputs is reasonably available to us at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is as follows:
					Range (Weighted Average)
	Valuation Technique(s)		Unobservable Input		June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Corporate debt	Discounted cash flows		Yield		(1.36%) (a)		2.68% – 8.48%
							-4.67%
Other long-term investments	Discounted cash flows and indicative valuations		Historical costs Nature of investment Local market conditions Comparables Operating performance Recent financing activity		N/A (b)		N/A (b)
(a)  At June 30, 2014, corporate debt consisted of one bond.
(b)  Not applicable.
The fair values of the assets using significant unobservable inputs are sensitive and can be impacted by significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs. Level 3 broker-priced instruments (RMBS, CMBS, and CDO/ABS) are excluded from the table above because the unobservable inputs are not reasonably available to us.
Our RMBS, CMBS, and CDO/ABS securities have unobservable inputs that are reliant on and sensitive to the quality of their underlying collateral. The inputs, although not identical, have similar characteristics and interrelationships. Generally a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment speeds. An improvement in the workout criteria related to the restructured debt and/or debt covenants of the underlying collateral may lead to an improvement in the cash flows and have an inverse impact on other inputs, specifically a reduction in the amount of discount applied for marketability and liquidity, making the structured bonds more attractive to market participants.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS — NON-RECURRING BASIS
We measure the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis on which we recorded impairment charges were as follows:

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets, we wrote down certain real estate owned reported in our Real Estate segment to their fair value less cost to sell for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and recorded the writedowns in other revenues — other. The fair values of real estate owned disclosed in the table above are unadjusted for transaction costs as required by the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. The amounts of real estate owned recorded in other assets are net of transaction costs as required by the authoritative guidance for accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance for the accounting for the impairment of commercial mortgage loans, we recorded allowance adjustments on certain impaired commercial mortgage loans reported in our Insurance segment to record their fair value for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and recorded the net impairments in investment revenues.
The unobservable inputs and quantitative data used in our Level 3 valuations for our real estate owned and commercial mortgage loans were developed and used in models created by our third-party valuation service providers or valuations provided by external parties, which values were used by us for fair value disclosure purposes without adjustment. We applied the third party exception which allows us to omit certain quantitative disclosures about unobservable inputs. As a result, the weighted average ranges of the inputs are not applicable in the following table.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS — VALUATION METHODOLOGIES AND ASSUMPTIONS
We use the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.
Investment Securities
We utilize third-party valuation service providers to measure the fair value of our investment securities, which are classified as available-for-sale or for trading and consist primarily of bonds. Whenever available, we obtain quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure investment securities at fair value. We generally obtain market price data from exchange or dealer markets.
We estimate the fair value of fixed maturity investment securities not traded in active markets by referring to traded securities with similar attributes, using dealer quotations and a matrix pricing methodology, or discounted cash flow analyses. This methodology considers such factors as the issuer’s industry, the security’s rating and tenor, its coupon rate, its position in the capital structure of the issuer, yield curves, credit curves, prepayment rates and other relevant factors. For fixed maturity investment securities that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions, we adjust the valuations to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability. Such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.
We classify investment securities that are deemed to incorporate an embedded derivative and for which it is impracticable for us to isolate and/or value as trading securities at fair value.
Finance Receivables
The fair value of net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses, both non-impaired and purchased credit impaired, are determined using discounted cash flow methodologies. The application of these methodologies requires us to make certain judgments and estimates based on our perception of market participant views related to the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of our finance receivables, and other similar factors. The most significant judgments and estimates made relate to prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, and discount rates. The degree of judgment and estimation applied is significant in light of the current capital markets and, more broadly, economic environments. Therefore, the fair value of our finance receivables could not be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in the valuation methodologies we employed, and changes in the underlying assumptions used could significantly affect the results of current or future values.
Restricted Cash
The carrying amount reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.
Commercial Mortgage Loans
We utilize third-party valuation service providers to estimate the fair value of commercial mortgage loans using projected cash flows discounted at an appropriate rate based upon market conditions.
Real Estate Owned
We initially based our estimate of the fair value on independent third-party valuations at the time we took title to real estate owned. Subsequent changes in fair value are based upon independent third-party valuations obtained periodically to estimate a price that would be received in a then current transaction to sell the asset.
Escrow Advance Receivable
The carrying amount reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.
Long-term Debt
We either receive fair value measurements of our long-term debt from market participants and pricing services or we estimate the fair values of long-term debt using projected cash flows discounted at each balance sheet date’s market-observable implicit-credit spread rates for our long-term debt and adjusted for foreign currency translations.
We record long-term debt issuances at fair value that are deemed to incorporate an embedded derivative and for which it is impracticable for us to isolate and/or value the derivative.

	The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations of SHI and from the acquisitions of finance receivables and the London, Kentucky loan servicing facility from HSBC (the “HSBC acquisitions”) as if the HSBC acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2013. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the HSBC acquisitions been completed on January 1, 2013. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not indicative of, nor does it purport to project, the future financial position or operating results of the HSBC acquisitions. The unaudited pro forma information assumes the full funding of the HSBC acquisitions including the issuance of the associated Class B Notes from our SpringCastle securitization as if they were issued as of January 1, 2013, the adjustment of historical finance charges for estimated impacts of accounting for credit impaired loans and the incorporation of accretion of pro forma purchase discount, and does not give effect to potential cost savings or other operating efficiencies that could result from the HSBC acquisitions.

	SALE OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND SECURITIZATION INTERESTS
	Whole Loan Sale and Securities Sale
	On August 6, 2014, SFC and the Depositors (as defined below) entered into a letter agreement (the “Commitment Letter”) with a major financial institution (the “Initial Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Initial Purchaser committed to (i) purchase certain performing and non-performing mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) with an unpaid principal balance of approximately $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2014 (the “Whole Loan Sale”) from certain subsidiaries of SFC (the “Mortgage Loan Sellers”), (ii) purchase certain notes (the “Notes”) and trust certificates (the “Trust Certificates” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”) issued by Springleaf Mortgage Loan Trust 2011-1, Springleaf Mortgage Loan Trust 2012-1, Springleaf Mortgage Loan Trust 2012-2, Springleaf Mortgage Loan Trust 2012-3, Springleaf Mortgage Loan Trust 2013-1, Springleaf Mortgage Loan Trust 2013-2 and Springleaf Mortgage Loan Trust 2013-3 (each, a “Trust” and the issuance of the Securities by each Trust, a “Springleaf Transaction”) from Eighth Street Funding LLC, Eleventh Street Funding LLC, Twelfth Street Funding LLC, Fourteenth Street Funding LLC, Fifteenth Street Funding LLC, Seventeenth Street Funding LLC and Nineteenth Street Funding LLC, each an affiliate of SFC (collectively, the “Depositors”), and SFC (the “Securities Sale”), and (iii) purchase rights to receive any funds remaining in the reserve account established for each Springleaf Transaction (each, a “Reserve Account” and, together with the Securities, the “Securitization Assets”) in accordance with the terms of the related transaction documents (together with the Whole Loan Sale and the Securities Sale, the “Asset Sale”).
	As purchaser of the Trust Certificates, the Initial Purchaser or any purchasers of the Trust Certificates from the Initial Purchaser will obtain the right to exercise an optional termination of each Springleaf Transaction (other than Springleaf Mortgage Loan Trust 2013-3) pursuant to the terms of the related indenture. With respect to the Springleaf Mortgage Loan Trust 2013-3, SFC will agree to cause Nineteenth Street Funding LLC, as Depositor, to sell and transfer to the Initial Purchaser all of its rights to exercise an optional termination of Springleaf Mortgage Loan Trust 2013-3.
	The settlement date for the Asset Sale is expected to be on or about August 29, 2014 (the “Settlement Date”) and is subject to certain terms and conditions described below. The purchase price for the Asset Sale is approximately $2.98 billion, subject to (i) a possible increase of the purchase price based on the prices at which the Initial Purchaser sells the Securitization Assets to third-party investors and the timing of such sales and (ii) a possible increase or decrease in the purchase price based on the performance status of the Mortgage Loans included in the Whole Loan Sale as of July 31, 2014 or such other date mutually agreed upon by the applicable parties.
	Whole Loan Sale.  The purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Initial Purchaser is subject to, among other things, certain stipulations, including the following:
	·         the Mortgage Loans will be sold to the Initial Purchaser pursuant to a mortgage loan purchase and interim servicing agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) containing usual and customary terms and conditions satisfactory to the Initial Purchaser and SFC. The Initial Purchaser will be entitled to receive all payments in respect of the Mortgage Loans after July 31, 2014 (the “Cut-off Date”). The obligations of the Mortgage Loan Sellers to the Initial Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement will be guaranteed by SFC;
	·         the Purchase Agreement will contain certain representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans as mutually agreed upon by SFC and the Initial Purchaser;
	·         the information relating to the Mortgage Loans provided in the mortgage loan schedule that SFC provided to the Initial Purchaser (the “Bid Tape”) is true and correct in all material respects;
	·         the Settlement Date for the sale of the Mortgage Loans shall occur on August 29, 2014 or such other date mutually acceptable to the Initial Purchaser and SFC;
	·         any Mortgage Loan with a zero balance as of the Cut-off Date will be removed from the Whole Loan Sale;
	·         the Initial Purchaser will have completed confirmatory due diligence which will include a review of the credit files, servicing comments and pay histories, collateral files, and compliance and samples for such confirmatory due diligence to be based on the Bid Tape;
	·         any Mortgage Loan having material litigation, compliance defects, property damage or title issues may be removed from the Whole Loan Sale at the Initial Purchaser’s discretion or re-priced by the Initial Purchaser as mutually agreed to between SFC and the Initial Purchaser;
	·         unless otherwise provided in the Bid Tape, each Mortgage Loan will be secured by a first lien mortgage or deed of trust on residential real property;
	·         the Initial Purchaser will purchase all of the Mortgage Loans subject only to the exceptions mutually agreed upon by SFC and the Initial Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Commitment Letter;
	·         the Mortgage Loans will be sold on a servicing released basis, with a servicing transfer date of September 30, 2014 or such other date mutually agreed upon between SFC and the Initial Purchaser (the “Servicing Transfer Date”). Servicing will be transferred to the Initial Purchaser’s designee on the Servicing Transfer Date;
	·         until the Servicing Transfer Date, SFC will service or cause the Mortgage Loans to be serviced in accordance with servicing practices generally employed in the industry for mortgage loans similar in type to the Mortgage Loans to be purchased and sold and in accordance with all applicable laws; and
	·         the satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
	Securities Sale.  The purchase of the Securities and the Reserve Accounts by the Initial Purchaser is subject to, among other things, certain stipulations, including the following:
	·         with respect to each Springleaf Transaction, execution of a note purchase agreement by SFC, the related Depositor and the Initial Purchaser containing usual and customary terms and conditions satisfactory to the Initial Purchaser and the related Depositor in the form attached to the Commitment Letter with such changes as are mutually agreed to by the Initial Purchaser and the related Depositor;
	·         execution of the Letter Agreement (as defined below);
	·         delivery of the Securities to the Initial Purchaser in either book-entry or physical form;
	·         with respect to each Springleaf Transaction, delivery of a private placement memorandum which describes material terms of the Securities;
	·         with respect to each Springleaf Transaction, delivery to the Initial Purchaser of materials appropriate and necessary to allow the Initial Purchaser to conduct due diligence on the mortgage loans underlying the Securities;
	·         execution of a letter agreement pursuant to which the Initial Purchaser agrees that, in the event the Initial Purchaser or its assignees (collectively, the “Call Rights Owners”) exercise any rights to terminate a Springleaf Transaction (a “Trust Collapse”), the Call Rights Owners will be obligated to retain Nationstar Mortgage LLC (“Nationstar”) as servicer of the underlying mortgage loans; and
	·         the Settlement Date for the sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchaser will be on August 29, 2014 or such other date mutually agreed upon between the Initial Purchaser and the Depositors.
	On August 6, 2014, SFC and the Initial Purchaser entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which SFC and the Initial Purchaser agreed, among other things, as follows:
	·         On or prior to the Settlement Date, SFC will cause each Depositor to enter into a letter agreement with the Initial Purchaser pursuant to which the Depositor will sell its interest in the Reserve Accounts to the Initial Purchaser or its designee. The Initial Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Depositors’ interests in the Reserve Accounts is subject to the condition that SFC offers financing of up to $70 million for the purchase of the Reserve Accounts to one third party investor designated by the Initial Purchaser, or, if SFC, at its sole discretion, determines such third party is not creditworthy, SFC shall provide such financing to the Initial Purchaser on a recourse basis.
	·         For a proposed Trust Collapse by holders of 100% of the Securities for a Springleaf Transaction, SFC will cooperate and provide reasonable assistance with, and cause the Depositor to cooperate and provide reasonable assistance with, the Trust Collapse, including, but not limited to entering into amendments to the underlying securitization documents and providing necessary consents.
	·         Prior to the Settlement Date, SFC will not permit any servicer or subservicer to sell any delinquent loans included in the Springleaf Transactions without providing holders of the Securities the right to match the highest bid price offered by unaffiliated third-party investors.
	·         SFC and the Depositors will not amend the securitization documents relating to any Springleaf Transaction or take any action that would materially adversely affect the rights of holders of the Securities.
	·         SFC will not consent to a transfer of servicing of the mortgage loans underlying the Springleaf Transactions, except as required by the documents for the Springleaf Transactions, to any party other than Nationstar.
	·         SFC will provide up to two holders of the Securities identified by the Initial Purchaser the continued benefit of the representations and warranties regarding the mortgage loans made by SFC or its subsidiaries in each Springleaf Transaction notwithstanding a Trust Collapse, subject to certain limitations regarding the enforcement of such representations and warranties against SFC.
	·         SFC will perform certain administrative duties with respect to each Trust for the Springleaf Transactions.
	The Initial Purchaser and certain of its affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Company and its affiliates. They have received or will continue to receive customary fees and commissions for these transactions.
	Sale of 2006-1 Retained Certificates
	On February 24, 2006, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle sold $457.1 million of certificates backed by real estate loans of the American General Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-1 (the “2006-1 Trust”). We initially retained $16.5 million of the 2006-1 Trust’s subordinate mortgage-backed certificates (the “2006-1 Retained Certificates”). On July 31, 2014, we entered into an agreement to sell the 2006-1 Retained Certificates for $10.3 million to an unaffiliated third party, subject to customary closing conditions.  The sale is expected to be completed on or about August 29, 2014.
	Impact of Sales of Mortgage Loans and Securitization Interests
	We will not retain any interest in the certificates issued by, or the real estate loans included in, the respective Trusts. As a result, we will deconsolidate the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests on the date of sale. At June 30, 2014, the total carrying value of the real estate loans included in all of the sales transactions noted above totaled $5.4 billion and, as such, reflects a liquidation of a substantial portion of our real estate loans, which totaled $6.1 billion at June 30, 2014, net of allowance for finance receivable losses.
	SALE OF MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
	On August 6, 2014, SFC and MorEquity (collectively, the “Sellers”) entered into a Mortgage Servicing Rights Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated and effective as of August 1, 2014 (the “MSR Purchase Agreement”),  with Nationstar, pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to sell to Nationstar for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $40 million, plus reimbursable servicing advances to be agreed upon by the Sellers and Nationstar, all of their rights and responsibilities as servicer, primary servicer and/or master servicer (the “Servicing Rights”) of the mortgage loans underlying the Sellers’ 2006, 2011, 2012 and 2013 securitizations (each a “Pool” and collectively, the “Pools”) with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $5 billion, and Nationstar has agreed to assume on and after the sale date all of the Sellers’ rights and responsibilities as servicer, primary servicer and/or master servicer, as applicable, for each Pool arising and to be performed on and after the sale date, which includes, among other things, the right to receive the related servicing fee on a monthly basis. Subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including obtaining all consents required under the related securitization agreements, the sale transaction for each Pool is expected to close on or about August 31, 2014 and the servicing for each Pool is expected to be transferred on or about September 30, 2014. The Sellers will provide interim servicing from the sale date to the servicing transfer date with respect to each Pool. The MSR Purchase Agreement includes customary termination provisions with respect to the sale and transfer of the Servicing Rights of each Pool, including termination rights relating to breaches of representations or warranties, breaches of covenants, failure or inability to obtain required consents and failure to complete the closing with respect to the Pools by December 31, 2014 or such other date mutually agreed to by the parties.
	Under the MSR Purchase Agreement, (i) the Sellers agreed to indemnify Nationstar for certain breaches of representations or warranties of such Seller, breaches of certain covenants and certain failures to service the real estate loans prior to the servicing transfer date, including the failure to service the mortgage loans in accordance with the terms of the related securitization agreements and applicable law and (ii) Nationstar agreed to indemnify the Sellers for certain breaches of representations or warranties of Nationstar, breaches of certain covenants and certain failures to service the mortgage loans after the servicing transfer date.
	Investment funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC indirectly own a majority of the Company’s and Nationstar’s common stock. Wesley R. Edens and Roy A. Guthrie, members of the Company’s board of directors, also serve as members of Nationstar’s board of directors.
	CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION TO SFC
	On July 31, 2014, SFI made a capital contribution to SFC, consisting of 100 shares of the common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, of its wholly owned subsidiary, Springleaf Acquisitions Company (“SAC”) representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of SAC. SAC consists primarily of a 47% investment in a joint venture formed to acquire consumer loans in 2013. At June 30, 2014, SAC consisted of total assets of $2.4 billion, total liabilities of $1.7 billion and equity of $682.9 million, including a non-controlling interest of $387.6 million. Consistent with the contribution of assets and liabilities to an entity in a controlled group, SAC’s assets and liabilities were contributed at their carrying value as of July 31, 2014, with its results of operations reflected prospectively.

Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	'
	BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	We prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These statements are unaudited. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The statements include the accounts of SHI, its subsidiaries (all of which are wholly owned, except for certain subsidiaries associated with a joint venture in which we own a 47% equity interest), and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we hold a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date.
	We eliminated all material intercompany accounts and transactions. We made judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates. We evaluated the effects of and the need to disclose events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). We follow the same significant accounting policies for our interim reporting.
	In connection with SHI’s initial public offering of its common stock previously discussed, SFI became a wholly owned subsidiary of SHI. As a result, the financial statements of SFI have been adjusted on a retrospective basis, as appropriate, as financial statements of SHI.
Prior Period Revisions	'
	Prior Period Revisions
	As disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified certain out-of-period errors in preparing our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition to these errors, we had previously recorded and disclosed out-of-period adjustments in prior reporting periods when the errors were discovered. As a result, we revised all previously reported periods included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Similarly, we have revised all previously reported periods included in this report. We corrected the errors identified in the fourth quarter of 2013 and included these corrections in the appropriate prior periods. In addition, we reversed all out-of period adjustments previously recorded and disclosed, and included the adjustments in the appropriate periods. After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these corrections, we have determined that our previous applicable quarterly condensed financial statements and our annual consolidated financial statements were not materially misstated.
	See Note 17 for further information on the prior period revisions. The financial data for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was previously presented in our final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 16, 2013 related to our initial public offering of our common stock (the “Prospectus”). The financial data for the three months ended June 30, 2013 has not been previously reported.
	In addition, during the first quarter of 2014, we identified that the disclosure of the allowance for finance receivable losses related to our securitized finance receivables at December 31, 2013, was previously incorrectly overstated by $26.8 million. The parenthetical disclosure of the allowance of consolidated VIEs as of December 31, 2013 on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the related VIE disclosures in Notes 3 and 8 have been revised in this report to $153.7 million.
	During the first quarter of 2014, we also discovered that our long-term debt associated with securitizations that were issued at a discount and which had embedded derivatives, was incorrectly excluded from the fair value disclosure of our financial instruments measured on a recurring basis. The affected fair value amount has been corrected in Note 18 in this report to include the fair value of our long-term debt measured on a recurring basis of $363.7 million at December 31, 2013.
	During the second quarter of 2014, we discovered that we incorrectly disclosed the carrying values at the date of sale of the real estate loans associated with the 2009-1 securitization and certain additional real estate loans sold on March 31, 2014. The affected carrying values have been corrected in Notes 1, 3, and 4 in this report as follows: (i) the carrying value of real estate loans associated with the 2009-1 securitization that were sold on March 31, 2014, was previously reported as $742.0 million but has been corrected to be $724.9 million and (ii) the carrying value of additional real estate loans sold on March 31, 2014, was previously reported as $93.3 million but has been corrected to be $89.9 million.
	After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these corrections (individually and in the aggregate), management has determined that our previously issued interim and annual consolidated financial statements were not materially misstated.
Fortress Acquisition	'
	Fortress Acquisition
	Due to the significance of the ownership interest acquired by FCFI Acquisition LLC, an affiliate of Fortress, (the “Fortress Acquisition”), the nature of the transaction, and at the direction of our acquirer, we applied push-down accounting to SFI as an acquired business. We revalued our assets and liabilities based on their fair values at the date of the Fortress Acquisition, November 30, 2010, in accordance with business combination accounting standards (“push-down accounting”).
SIGNIFICANT 2014 TRANSACTIONS	'
	SIGNIFICANT 2014 TRANSACTIONS
	Sale of 2010-1 Retained Certificates
	On March 30, 2010, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC sold $716.9 million of certificates backed by real estate loans of the American General Mortgage Loan Trust 2010-1 (the “2010-1 Trust”). We initially retained $285.8 million of the 2010-1 Trust’s subordinate mortgage-backed certificates (the “2010-1 Retained Certificates”).
	On June 1, 2014, the real estate loans included in the transaction were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future.
	We completed the sale of the 2010-1 Retained Certificates on June 30, 2014, at which time, the real estate loans included in the transaction had a carrying value of $444.4 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses). As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt, as we no longer were considered the primary beneficiary.
	Sale of 2009-1 Retained Certificates
	On July 30, 2009, we completed a private securitization transaction in which a wholly owned special purpose vehicle of SFC sold $1.2 billion of certificates backed by real estate loans of the American General Mortgage Loan Trust 2009-1 (the “2009-1 Trust”). We initially retained $786.3 million of the 2009-1 Trust’s subordinate mortgage-backed certificates (the “2009-1 Retained Certificates”).
	On March 1, 2014, the real estate loans included in the transaction were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future.
	We completed the sale of the 2009-1 Retained Certificates on March 31, 2014, at which time, the real estate loans included in the transaction had a carrying value of $724.9 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses). As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated the underlying real estate loans and previously issued securitized interests which were reported in long-term debt, as we no longer were considered the primary beneficiary.
	Sale of Real Estate Loans
	On March 7, 2014, we entered into an agreement to sell, subject to certain closing conditions, certain performing and non-performing real estate loans. We completed this sale on March 31, 2014, at which time, the real estate loans included in the transaction had a carrying value of $89.9 million (after the basis adjustment for the related allowance for finance receivable losses). On March 1, 2014, these loans were transferred from held for investment to held for sale, due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	'
	ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ADOPTED
	Income Taxes
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”), ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which clarifies the presentation requirements of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU became effective prospectively for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
	ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS TO BE ADOPTED
	Troubled Debt Restructurings
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, which clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs — that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The ASU requires a creditor to reclassify a collateralized consumer mortgage loan to real estate property upon obtaining legal title to the real estate collateral, or the borrower voluntarily conveying all interest in the real estate property to the lender to satisfy the loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
	Discontinued Operations
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which redefines when the disposal of a component of entity or a group of assets is required to be reported in discontinued operations. The ASU requires a reporting entity to report disposals of components of an entity or a group of assets in discontinued operations when the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014, but can be early adopted.
	Revenue from Contracts
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a consistent revenue accounting model across industries. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Many of our revenue sources are not within the scope of this new standard and we are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU for those revenue sources that are in scope will have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
	Share-based Payments
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which clarifies that performance targets within share-based payment awards that can be met after the requisite service period should be considered performance conditions that affect vesting. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated statements of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
ACCOUNTING POLICY ELECTIONS - Long-term Debt	'
	ACCOUNTING POLICY ELECTIONS
	We made certain policy elections with regard to the issuance of long-term debt related to the 2014-A securitization and have updated our long-term debt policy previously disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K to reflect these elections. The updated long-term debt policy is presented below:
	Long-term Debt
	We generally report our long-term debt issuances at the face value of the debt instrument, which we adjust for any unaccreted discount or unamortized premium associated with the debt. We make policy elections on a security by security basis with regard to the methodology used to accrete discounts and premiums. Other than securitized products, we generally accrete discounts and premiums over the contractual life of the security using contractual payment terms. With respect to securitized products, we have historically elected to use estimated prepayment patterns adjusted for changes in estimate over the estimated life of the debt. However, in certain circumstances, including our policy election for the 2014-A securitization, we elect to amortize deferred items over the contractual life of the security. Under either treatment, such accretion is recorded to interest expense. Additionally, we generally accrete other deferred amounts (e.g. issuance costs) following the same method elected on the associated unaccreted discount or premium.

	·            finance receivables originated subsequent to the Fortress Acquisition — gross finance receivables equal the UPB for interest bearing accounts and the gross remaining contractual payments for precompute accounts; and
	·            purchased credit impaired finance receivables — gross finance receivables equal the remaining estimated cash flows less the current balance of accretable yield on the purchased credit impaired accounts.

	(b)       During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we reduced the carrying value of certain real estate loans to $451.2 million and $1.3 billion, respectively, as a result of the transfers of these loans from finance receivables held for investment to finance receivables held for sale due to management’s intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future.
	(c)        Recoveries during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 included $41.2 million ($25.4 million of personal loan recoveries, $9.9 million of real estate loan recoveries, and $5.9 million of retail sales finance recoveries) resulting from a sale of previously charged-off finance receivables in June 2013.
	(d)       Recoveries during the six months ended June 30, 2014 included $2.2 million of real estate loan recoveries resulting from a sale of previously charged-off real estate loans in March 2014, net of a $0.2 million reserve for subsequent buybacks.
	(e)        Effective March 31, 2013, we charge off to the allowance for finance receivable losses personal loans that are 180 days past due. Previously, we charged-off to the allowance for finance receivable losses personal loans on which payments received in the prior six months totaled less than 5% of the original loan amount. As a result of this change, we recorded $13.3 million of additional charge-offs in March 2013.
