Observation
1/ This is a cash out refinance. 2/ There are limited loan documents provided by the borrower. The audit is based on the limited documents and assumptions made by the auditor. 3/ The underwriting fee and tax related service fee charged to borrower were paid by the lender. The lender did not include the said fees in the TIL calculation. However, federal banking law 12CFR226.4 only exempts the fee from the finance charge that is paid by the seller. 4/ This loan failed the TILA finance charge test because the disclosed finance chargewas understated by $58,820.33. 5/ The loan has a Good Faith Estimate disclosure date that is not within three business days after the application date. 6/ This is a negative amortization loan program. The principal balance of the loan could be increased even though the borrower is making the required monthly payments. If the monthly payment is not sufficient to pay monthly interest, the interest defers would be added to the principal balance. The borrower is required to make a full monthly payment on the fifth anniversary of the due date or the unpaid principal balance not exceed 115% of the original principal amount originally borrowed which ever come first.

Sample Report
Forensic Examination Assumption:

The application has no borrower's signature and no signature date. The application date is one of the ComplianceAnalyzer system required data fields. Therefore, we have made an assumption that the application date is 2/25/2005 (Assuming 30 days before the date of the Note). The loan documents provided were signed by the borrower but the date of signature is unknown. The closing/settlement date in the ComplianceAnalyzer (CA) system web form is the loan document signing date; therefore, we have made an assumption that the document signing date is the same as Escrow Officer's signature date on the Final HUD-1, 5/20/2007.
Index Value
Historical Index Value: The "Twelve-Month Average" of the annual yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year, as published by the Federal Reserve Board. The date of the Adjustable Rate Note is 5/20/2007; therefore we selected the April 2007 index value of 5.0217% to perform the audit. The reason for selecting the April 2007 index value is because Clause 2 (C) on the Adjustable Rate Rider defines as ".... The most recent Index figure as the date 15 days before each Change Date is called the Current Index.

(a) Accuracy of annual percentage rate. (1) The annual percentage rate is a measure of the cost of credit, expressed as a yearly rate, that relates the amount and timing of value received by the consumer to the amount and timing of payments made. The annual percentage rate shall be determined in accordance with either the actuarial method or the United States Rule method. Explanations, equations and instructions for determining the annual percentage rate in accordance with the actuarial method are set forth in appendix J to this regulation.\45d\ ----------------------------------------------------------------------\45d\ An error in disclosure of the annual percentage rate or finance charge shall not, in itself, be considered a violation of this regulation if: (1) The error resulted from a corresponding error in a calculation tool used in good faith by the creditor; and (2) upon discovery of the error, the creditor promptly discontinues use of that calculation tool for disclosure purposes and notifies the Board in writing of the error in the calculation tool. ----------------------------------------------------------------------(2) As a general rule, the annual percentage rate shall be considered accurate if it is not more than \1/8\ of 1 percentage point above or below the annual percentage rate determined in accordance with paragraph (a)(1) of this section. (3) In an irregular transaction, the annual percentage rate shall be considered accurate if it is not more than \1/4\ of 1 percentage point above or below the annual percentage rate determined in accordance with paragraph (a)(1) of this section.\46\ ----------------------------------------------------------------------\46\ For purposes of paragraph (a)(3) of this section, an irregular transaction is one that includes one or more of the following features: multiple advances, irregular payment periods, or irregular payment amounts (other than an irregular first period or an irregular first or final payment). -----------------------------------------------------------------------

(4) Mortgage loans. If the annual percentage rate disclosed in a transaction secured by real property or a dwelling varies from the actual rate determined in accordance with paragraph (a)(1) of this section, in addition to the tolerances applicable under paragraphs (a)(2) and (3) of this section, the disclosed annual percentage rate shall also be considered accurate if: (i) The rate results from the disclosed finance charge; and (ii)(A) The disclosed finance charge would be considered accurate under Sec. 226.18(d)(1); or (B) For purposes of rescission, if the disclosed finance charge would be considered accurate under Sec. 226.23(g) or (h), whichever applies. (5) Additional tolerance for mortgage loans. In a transaction secured by real property or a dwelling, in addition to the tolerances applicable under paragraphs (a)(2) and (3) of this section, if the disclosed finance charge is calculated incorrectly but is considered accurate under Sec. 226.18(d)(1) or Sec. 226.23(g) or (h), the disclosed annual percentage rate shall be considered accurate: (i) If the disclosed finance charge is understated, and the disclosed annual percentage rate is also understated but it is closer to the actual annual percentage rate than the rate that would be considered accurate under paragraph (a)(4) of this section; (ii) If the disclosed finance charge is overstated, and the disclosed annual percentage rate is also overstated but it is closer to the actual annual percentage rate than the rate that would be considered accurate under paragraph (a)(4) of this section. (b) Computation tools. (1) The Regulation Z Annual Percentage Rate Tables produced by the Board may be used to determine the annual percentage rate, and any rate determined from those tables in accordance with the accompanying instructions complies with the requirements of this section. Volume I of the tables applies to single advance transactions involving up to 480 monthly payments or 104 weekly payments. It may be used for regular transactions and for transactions with any of the following irregularities: an irregular first period, an irregular first payment, and an irregular final payment. Volume II of the tables applies to transactions involving multiple advances and any type of payment or period irregularity. (2) Creditors may use any other computation tool in determining the annual percentage rate if the rate so determined equals the rate determined in accordance with appendix J, within the degree of accuracy set forth in paragraph (a) of this section. (c) Single add-on rate transactions. If a single add-on rate is applied to all transactions with maturities up to 60 months and if all payments are equal in amount and period, a single annual percentage rate may be disclosed for all those transactions, so long as it is the highest annual percentage rate for any such transaction. (d) Certain transactions involving ranges of balances. For purposes of disclosing the annual percentage rate referred to in Sec. 226.17(g)(4) (Mail or telephone orders--delay in disclosures) and (h) (Series of sales--delay in disclosures), if the same finance charge is imposed on all balances within a specified range of balances, the annual
Sample Report
percentage rate computed for the median balance may be disclosed for all the balances. However, if the annual percentage rate computed for the median balance understates the annual percentage rate computed for the lowest balance by more than 8 percent of the latter rate, the annual percentage rate shall be computed on whatever lower balance will produce an annual percentage rate that does not result in an understatement of more than 8 percent of the rate determined on the lowest balance.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSELS DIGEST
AB 344, Migden. Loans secured by real property. Existing law provides for regulation of banks and savings associations by the Department of Financial Institutions. Existing law provides for regulation of real estate brokers by the Department of Real Estate. Existing law provides for regulation of finance lenders and residential mortgage lenders by the Department of Corporations. Existing law provides that willful violations of provisions governing savings associations, real estate brokers, and residential mortgage lenders are crimes. AB 489 of the 200102 Regular Session would impose various requirements on consumer loans secured by specified real property, defined as covered loans. This bill would make various changes to the provisions of AB 489 that apply to a covered loan for which an application is made on or after July 1, 2002. The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. Section 4970 of the Financial Code, as added by Assembly Bill 489 of the 200102 Regular Session, is amended to read: 4970. For purposes of this division: (a) Annual percentage rate means the annual percentage rate for the loan calculated according to the provisions of the federal Truth in Lending Act and the regulations adopted thereunder by the Federal Reserve Board. (b) (1) Covered loan means a consumer loan in which the original principal balance of the loan does not exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) in the case of a mortgage or deed of trust, and where one of the following conditions are met: (A) For a mortgage or deed of trust, the annual percentage rate at consummation of the transaction will exceed by more than eight percentage points the yield on Treasury securities having comparable

periods of maturity on the 15th day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the application for the extension of credit is received by the creditor. (B) The total points and fees payable by the consumer at or before closing for a mortgage or deed of trust will exceed 6 percent of the total loan amount. (2) The dollar amount specified in paragraph (1) shall be adjusted every five years in accordance with the California Consumer Price Index. (c) Points and fees shall include the following: (1) All items required to be disclosed as finance charges under Sections 226.4(a) and 226.4(b) of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations, including the Official Staff Commentary, as amended from time to time, except interest. (2) All compensation and fees paid to mortgage brokers in connection with the loan transaction. (3) All items listed in Section 226.4(c)(7) of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations, only if the person originating the covered loan receives direct compensation in connection with the charge. (d) Consumer loan means a consumer credit transaction that is secured by real property located in this state used, or intended to be used or occupied, as the principal dwelling of the consumer that is improved by a one-to-four residential unit. Consumer loan does not include a reverse mortgage, an open line of credit as defined in Part 226 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations (Regulation Z), or a consumer credit transaction that is secured by rental property or second homes. Consumer loan does not include a bridge loan. For purposes of this division, a bridge loan is any temporary loan, having a maturity of one year or less, for the purpose of acquisition or construction of a dwelling intended to become the consumers principal dwelling. (e) Original principal balance means the total initial amount the consumer is obligated to repay on the loan.

licensed under the California Residential Mortgage Lending Act (Division 20 (commencing with Section 50000)), a commercial or industrial bank organized under the Banking Law (Division 1 (commencing with Section 99)), a savings association organized under the Savings Association Law (Division 2 (commencing with Section 5000)), and a credit union organized under the California Credit Union Law (Division 5 (commencing with Section 14000)). Nothing in this division shall be construed to prevent any enforcement by a governmental entity against any person who originates a loan and who is exempt or excluded from licensure by all of the licensing agencies, based on a violation of any provision of this division. Nothing in this division shall be construed to prevent the Department of Real Estate from enforcing this division against a licensed salesperson employed by a licensed real estate broker as if that salesperson were a licensed person under this division. A licensed person includes any person engaged in the practice of consumer lending, as defined in this division, for which a license is required under any other provision of law, but whose license is invalid, suspended or revoked, or where no license has been obtained. (h) Originate means to arrange, negotiate, or make a consumer loan. (i) Servicer has the same meaning provided in Section 6 (i)(2) of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974. SEC. 2. Section 4973 of the Financial Code, as added by Assembly Bill 489 of the 200102 Regular Session, is amended to read: 4973. The following are prohibited acts and limitations for covered loans: (a) (1) A covered loan shall not include a prepayment fee or penalty after the first 36 months after the date of consummation of the loan. (2) A covered loan may include a prepayment fee or penalty up to the first 36 months after the date of consummation of the loan if: (A) The person who originates the covered loan has also offered the consumer a choice of another product without a prepayment fee or penalty. (B) The person who originates the covered loan has disclosed in writing to the consumer at least three business days prior to loan consummation the terms of the prepayment fee or penalty to the consumer for accepting a covered loan with the prepayment penalty and the rates, points, and fees that would be available to the consumer for accepting a covered loan without a prepayment penalty. (C) The person who originates the covered loan has limited the amount of the prepayment fee or penalty to an amount not to exceed the payment of six months advance interest, at the contract rate of interest
92

Ch. 733
then in effect, on the amount prepaid in any 12-month period in excess of 20 percent of the original principal amount. (D) A covered loan will not impose the prepayment fee or penalty if the covered loan is accelerated as a result of default. (E) The person who originates the covered loan will not finance a prepayment penalty through a new loan that is originated by the same person. (b) (1) A covered loan with a term of 5 years or less may not provide at origination for a payment schedule with regular periodic payments that when aggregated do not fully amortize the principal balance as of the maturity date of the loan. (2) For a payment schedule that is adjusted to account for the seasonal or irregular income of the consumer, the total installments in any year shall not exceed the amount of one years worth of payments on the loan. This prohibition does not apply to a bridge loan. For purposes of this paragraph, bridge loan means a loan with a maturity of less than 18 months that only requires payments of interest until the time when the entire unpaid balance is due and payable. (c) A covered loan shall not contain a provision for negative amortization such that the payment schedule for regular monthly payments causes the principal balance to increase, unless the covered loan is a first mortgage and the person who originates the loan discloses to the consumer that the loan contains a negative amortization provision that may add principal to the balance of the loan. (d) A covered loan shall not include terms under which periodic payments required under the loan are consolidated and paid in advance from the loan proceeds. (e) A covered loan shall not contain a provision that increases the interest rate as a result of a default. This provision does not apply to interest rate changes in a variable rate loan otherwise consistent with the provisions of the loan documents, provided the change in the interest rate is not triggered by the event of default or the acceleration for the indebtedness. (f) (1) A person who originates covered loans shall not make or arrange a covered loan unless at the time the loan is consummated, the person reasonably believes the consumer, or consumers, when considered collectively in the case of multiple consumers, will be able to make the scheduled payments to repay the obligation based upon a consideration of their current and expected income, current obligations, employment status, and other financial resources, other than the consumers equity in the dwelling that secures repayment of the loan. In the case of a covered loan that is structured to increase to a specific designated rate, stated as a number or formula, at a specific
92
Sample Report
Ch. 733
predetermined date not exceeding 37 months from the date of application, this evaluation shall be based upon the fully indexed rate of the loan calculated at the time of application. The consumer shall be presumed to be able to make the scheduled payments to repay the obligation if, at the time the loan is consummated, the consumers total monthly debts, including amounts owed under the loan, do not exceed 55 percent of the consumers monthly gross income, as verified by the credit application, the consumers financial statement, a credit report, financial information provided to the person originating the loan by or on behalf of the consumer, or any other reasonable means. (2) No presumption of inability to make the scheduled payments to repay the obligation shall arise solely from the fact that at the time the loan is consummated, the consumers total monthly debts, including amounts owed under the loan, exceed 55 percent of the consumers monthly gross income. (3) In the case of a stated income loan, the reasonable belief requirement in paragraph (1) shall apply, however, for stated income loans that belief may be based on the income stated by the consumer, and other information in the possession of the person originating the loan after the solicitation of all information that the person customarily solicits in connection with loans of this type. A person shall not knowingly or willfully originate a covered loan as a stated income loan with the intent, or effect, of evading the provisions of this subdivision. (g) A person who originates a covered loan shall not pay a contractor under a home-improvement contract from the proceeds of a covered loan other than by an instrument payable to the consumer or jointly to the consumer and the contractor or, at the election of the consumer, to a third-party escrow agent for the benefit of the contractor in accordance with terms and conditions established in a written escrow agreement signed by the consumer, the person who originates a covered loan, and the contractor prior to the disbursement of funds. No payments, other than progress payments for home-improvement work that the consumer certifies is completed, shall be made to an escrow account or jointly to the consumer and the contractor unless the person who originates the loan is presented with a signed and dated completion certificate by the consumer showing that the home-improvement contract was completed to the satisfaction of the consumer. (h) It is unlawful for a person who originates a covered loan to recommend or encourage a consumer to default on an existing consumer loan or other debt in connection with the solicitation or making of a covered loan that refinances all or any portion of the existing consumer loan or debt.

Ch. 733
(i) A covered loan shall not contain a call provision that permits the lender, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the indebtedness. This prohibition does not apply if repayment of the loan has been accelerated in accordance with the terms of the loan documents (1) as a result of the consumers default, (2) pursuant to a due-on-sale provision, or (3) due to fraud or material misrepresentation by a consumer in connection with the loan or the value of the security for the loan. (j) A person who originates a covered loan shall not refinance or arrange for the refinancing of a consumer loan such that the new loan is a covered loan that is made for the purpose of refinancing, debt consolidation or cash out, that does not result in an identifiable benefit to the consumer, considering the consumers stated purpose for seeking the loan, fees, interest rates, finance charges, and points. (k) (1) A covered loan shall not be made unless the following disclosure, written in 12-point font or larger, has been provided to the consumer no later than three business days prior to signing of the loan documents of the transaction: CONSUMER CAUTION AND HOME OWNERSHIP COUNSELING NOTICE If you obtain this loan, the lender will have a mortgage on your home. You could lose your home, and any money you have put into it, if you do not meet your obligations under the loan. Mortgage loan rates and closing costs and fees vary based on many other factors, including your particular credit and financial circumstances, your earnings history, the loan-to-value requested, and the type of property that will secure your loan. Higher rates and fees may be justified depending on the individual circumstances of a particular consumers application. You should shop around and compare loan rates and fees. This particular loan may have a higher rate and total points and fees than other mortgage loans and is, or may be, subject to the additional disclosure and substantive protections under Division 1.6 (commencing with Section 4970 of the Financial Code. You should consider consulting a qualified independent credit counselor or other experienced financial adviser regarding the rate, fees, and provisions of this mortgage loan before you proceed. For information on contacting a qualified credit counselor, ask your lender or call the United States Department of Housing and Urban Developments counseling hotline at 1-888-466-3487 or go to www.hud.gov/fha/sfh/hcc for a list of counselors.

You are not required to complete any loan agreement merely because you have received these disclosures or have signed a loan application. If you proceed with this mortgage loan, you should also remember that you may face serious financial risks if you use this loan to pay off credit card debts and other debts in connection with this transaction and then subsequently incur significant new credit card charges or other debts. If you continue to accumulate debt after this loan is closed and then experience financial difficulties, you could lose your home and any equity you have in it if you do not meet your mortgage loan obligations. Property taxes and homeowners insurance are your responsibility. Not all lenders provide escrow services for these payments. You should ask your lender about these services. Your payments on existing debts contribute to your credit ratings. You should not accept any advice to ignore your regular payments to your existing creditors. (2) It shall be a rebuttable presumption that a licensed person has met its obligation to provide this disclosure if the consumer provides the licensed person with a signed acknowledgment of receipt of a copy of the notice set forth in paragraph (1). (l) (1) A person who originates a covered loan shall not steer, counsel, or direct any prospective consumer to accept a loan product with a risk grade less favorable than the risk grade that the consumer would qualify for based on that persons then current underwriting guidelines, prudently applied, considering the information available to that person, including the information provided by the consumer. A person shall not be deemed to have violated this section if the risk grade determination applied to a consumer is reasonably based on the persons underwriting guidelines if it is an appropriate risk grade category for which the consumer qualifies with the person. (2) If a broker originates a covered loan, the broker shall not steer, counsel, or direct any prospective consumer to accept a loan product at a higher cost than that for which the consumer could qualify based on the loan products offered by the persons with whom the broker regularly does business. (m) A person who originates a covered loan shall not avoid, or attempt to avoid, the application of this division by doing the following: (1) Structuring a loan transaction as an open-end credit plan for the purpose of evading the provisions of this division when the loan would have been a covered loan if the loan had been structured as a closed end loan. (2) Dividing any loan transaction into separate parts for the purpose of evading the provisions of this division.

A person who originates a covered loan shall not be administratively, civilly, or criminally liable for a bona fide error corrected pursuant to this section.

This section does not impose or transfer liability for a breach of the brokers fiduciary duty. SEC. 4. Section 4975 of the Financial Code, as added by Assembly Bill 489 of the 200102 Regular Session, is amended to read: 4975.

(b) After a knowing and willful violation resulting in a second or subsequent administrative or civil action, the licensing agency may bring a proceeding to permanently revoke the license of the licensed person or impose any lesser licensed sanction for at least three years. (c) A licensing agency may exercise any and all authority and powers available to it under any other provisions of law, to administer and enforce this division including, but not limited to, investigating and examining the licensed persons books and records, and charging and collecting the reasonable costs for these activities. The licensing agency shall not charge a licensed person twice for the same service. Any civil, criminal, and administrative authority and remedies available to the licensing agency pursuant to its licensing law may be sought and employed in any combination deemed advisable by the licensing agency to enforce the provisions of this division.

(f) In any action brought by the licensing agency, or the Attorney General acting at the request and on behalf of the licensing agency, under this division in which a judgment against a person is rendered, the licensing agency or the Attorney General shall be entitled to recover costs which, in the discretion of the court, may include an amount representing reasonable attorneys fees and investigative expenses for services rendered for deposit in the appropriate fund of that licensing agency.
