Servicing advances sold primarily in connection with sales of MSRs which met the requirements for sale accounting and which were derecognized from our financial statements at the time of the sale. However, advances sold during 2014 in connection with the sale of loans purchased through the Ginnie Mae EBO program did not qualify as sales for accounting purposes and were accounted for as a financing.
