* Material differences, including with respect to its business operations, financial performance, asset size and other factors, exist with respect to the pre-petition operations and financial position of Washington Mutual Inc. and its subsidiaries as compared with the post-emergence operations and financial position of WMIH Corp. and its subsidiaries. In order to address such differences, in preparing these and future financial statements, management has concluded that it is appropriate to use the financial information of WMIH Corp’s wholly-owned subsidiary, WM Mortgage Reinsurance Company, Inc. as the basis for its pre-emergence financial reporting. Information in these financial statements labeled as “Predecessor” refers to periods prior to the adoption of fresh start reporting, while those labeled as “Successor” refer to periods following the Company’s reorganization and emergence from bankruptcy.
