FORM 10-K/A
For the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2014
Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Novation Companies, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), for the year ended December 31, 2014 that was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2015 and Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A that was originally filed with the SEC on April 30, 2015 (the “Original Filings”).
The Summary Compensation Table set forth in Item 11 of Part III of the Original Filings unintentionally omitted the 2014 bonus information for our chief executive officer, W. Lance Anderson, and our chief financial officer, Rodney E. Schwatken. The 2014 bonus information for Mr. Anderson and Mr. Schwatken was described on pages 10 and 12 in Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report under the heading “Compensation Agreements with Named Executive Officers”.
We are filing this Amendment No. 2 in order to amend and restate the Summary Compensation Table and associated footnotes appearing on page 8 of Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report to show the 2014 bonus information for Mr. Anderson and Mr. Schwatken and the corresponding changes to their total compensation. Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended to include the currently dated certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed with this Form 10-K/A as Exhibits 31.5 and 31.6 hereto. Because no financial statements have been included in this Form 10-K/A and this Form 10-K/A does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. We are not including the certificate under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as no financial statements are being filed with this Form 10-K/A.
Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filings. The Original Filings continue to speak as of the date of the Original Filings, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filings. This Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with the Original Filings and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filings.

(1) | Represents the dollar amount recognized for financial reporting purposes for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The stock awards column includes amounts for restricted stock granted in 2005 and 2007. The option awards column includes amounts for stock option awards granted in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. The Company calculated the weighted average fair value of options granted for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in their determination were as follows: The expected life is a significant assumption as it determines the period for which the risk free interest rate, volatility and dividend yield must be applied. The expected life is the period over which employees and directors are expected to hold their options and is based on the Company’s historical experience with similar grants. The annual risk-free rate of return is estimated using US treasury rates commensurate with the expected life. The volatility is calculated using the fluctuations of the historical stock prices of the Company. The Company has not paid a dividend in several years, and accordingly, the assumed dividend yield was zero for these options. |
(2) | Except where otherwise indicated, the total value of all perquisites and other personal benefits did not exceed $10,000 for any named executive officer for fiscal years 2014 and 2013 so the amounts have been excluded from the Summary Compensation Table. |
(3) | Mr. Schwatken’s Other Compensation consists of a $173 employer HSA contribution, $471 in imputed income for group term life insurance, and $9,585 for partial reimbursement for individual medical insurance. |
(4) | Mr. Haslam retired from the Company effective October 1, 2014. $351,246 reflects base salary earned through September 30, 2014. |
(5) | Mr. Haslam retired from the Company effective October 1, 2014. This amount reflects his forfeiture of $14,533 in restricted stock awards upon his retirement. |
(6) | Mr. Haslam retired from the Company effective October 1, 2014. Although this values option awards at $50,220 as of December 31, 2014, such awards were forfeited on January 1, 2015. |
(7) | Mr. Haslam retired from the Company effective October 1, 2014. His Other Compensation consists of $318 in imputed income for group term life insurance, $7,851 for partial reimbursement for individual medical insurance and $87,692 in severance. |
(8) | Represents the bonuses awarded under Mr. Lautz's bonus plan for 2013 and 2014 and the bonuses awarded to Mr. Anderson and Mr. Schwatken for 2014 and paid in 2015, as described below under the heading “Compensation Agreements with Named Executive Officers.” |
