FundQuest, Incorporated
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of FundQuest, Incorporated (the Company) as of September 30, 2011, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the nine month period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine month period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

FUNDQUEST, INCORPORATED
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
FundQuest, Incorporated (the Company) a 100% direct subsidiary of BNP Paribas Investment Partners USA Holdings, Inc. (Parent) (formerly known as Charter Atlantic Corporation), a wholly owned subsidiary of Paribas North America, Inc., is a Delaware Corporation that manages and administers assets in fee-based investment programs for institutions and retail clients. The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as a registered investment adviser.
In 2010, the Company entered into a seven-year Outsourcing Agreement with a third party whereby the Company is utilizing the third partys platform technology system to service its customer base (Outsourcing Agreement). As a result, the Company is no longer directly providing middle and back-office services to its clients, but continues to provide management and advisory services to its clients. See Note 7 for further discussion and accounting related to the Outsourcing Agreement.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation The Companys financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition Advisory fees are derived from money management, administration, and reporting services to institutional and retail clients. The Company records revenue (advisory fees) based on the terms of the advisory agreement, as a stated percentage of assets under management and advisory fees are recognized in revenue as earned.
The Company has contractual arrangements with clients to provide certain services, including subadvisory and distribution-related services. Managements determination of whether revenue should be reported gross, based on the amount paid by the clients, or net of payments to third party service providers is based on managements assessment of whether the Company is acting as the principal service provider or is acting as an agent. The primary factors considered in assessing the nature of the Companys role include: (1) whether the Company is responsible for the fulfillment of the obligation, including the acceptability of the services provided; (2) whether the Company has reasonable latitude to establish the price of the service provided; (3) whether the Company has the discretion to select the service provider; and (4) whether the Company assumes credit risk in the arrangement.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Companys four largest clients represented approximately 19.2%, 13.4%, 10.6% and 10.6%, respectively, of total advisory fees.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consists of demand deposits and term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and deposits to the extent of the amounts recorded on the balance sheets exceed federal depository insurance limits when applicable. Risks associated with cash and cash equivalents are mitigated by banking with highly creditworthy institutions. Interest income earned on cash balances is accrued as earned.
6
Information Technology and Other Equipment Information technology and other equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Both information technology and other equipment are depreciated using the double-declining method over the assets estimated useful lives, which range from three to eight years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the lease or the asset, whichever is shorter. Repair and maintenance costs are expense as incurred.
Warrants The Company accounts for warrants as a derivative instrument with gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value recorded in non operating income and expense on the accompanying statement of operations.
Income Taxes The Company is included in the consolidated federal and state income tax return filed by Paribas North America, Inc. The Companys income tax provision is determined on a separate legal entity-basis based on the results of operations of the Company.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this guidance, the Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company presently does not have any unrecognized tax benefits recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
The Companys major tax jurisdictions are federal and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2008. The Companys policy is to record interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
Financial instruments and fair value measurements Fair Value Measurements are determined by the Companys adoption of ASC 820-10, Fair Market Measurements and Disclosures, with the exception of the application of the statement to nonrecurring, nonfinancial assets and liabilities as permitted. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal (or most advantageous market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or the liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
7
Level 3 Unobservable inputs reflecting the Companys own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.
With the sale of the Warrant during 2011, at September 30, 2011, the Company did not hold financial instruments subject to fair value measurement.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Comprehensive Income In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance that requires all non-owner changes in stockholders equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements, and it eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. In addition, this guidance requires an entity to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. These amendments are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
NOTE 3. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND OTHER EQUIPMENT
At September 30, 2011, information technology and other equipment consisted of the following:
Information technology, furniture and other equipment |
$ | 844,645 | ||
Less: accumulated depreciation |
(379,619 | ) | ||
|
|
|||
Information technology, furniture and other equipment, net |
$ | 465,026 | ||
|
|
NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
The Companys effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory tax rate of 35% largely due to nondeductible expenses and the application of a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset.
8
Significant components of the income tax provision as of September 30, 2011, are as follows:
Income tax: |
||||
Current tax expense: |
||||
Federal |
$ | | ||
State |
456 | |||

|
|||
Total deferred tax expense |
| |||
|
|
|||
Total income tax expense |
$ | 456 | ||
|
|
Deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Company are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in force when the differences reverse. The deferred tax assets are primarily composed of federal and Massachusetts net operating loss carry forwards as well as platform fee credits of $3,315,972. The net operating losses reflect the historic losses as incurred by the Company. However, the Company files a consolidated tax return with their parent. Under a tax sharing agreement, these net operating losses have been previously utilized.
Components of the Companys net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2011, are as follows:
Deferred tax assets: |
||||
Professional fees |
$ | 80,725 | ||
Accrued expenses |
581,983 | |||
Federal and state net operating losses |
2,887,960 | |||
Platform fee credits |

|
|
|||
Net deferred tax asset |
$ | 117,170 | ||
|
|
9
A valuation allowance totaling $6,338,526 has been applied against the Companys net deferred tax assets as the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the net operating loss deferred tax assets will not be utilized.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTIES
The Company provides information management, professional and administrative services to its stockholder, affiliated investment partnerships, and other entities, which are related parties. Amounts recorded related to such services were $28,186 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
The Company receives certain back-office support services (i.e. Finance, Human Resources, marketing, Compliance, and Information Technology) from its Parent, BNP Paribas Investment Partners USA Holdings, Inc. Amounts recorded related to such services were $646,795 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and are included in Professional Services within the Statement of Operations. At September 30, 2011, the Company has accrued $385,482, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying statement of financial condition, for said services.
During 2011, the Companys Board of Directors unanimously approved a dividend to its parent, BNP Paribas Investment Partners USA Holding, Inc. in amount of $2,394,721.
The Company has also entered into a space sharing agreement with an affiliate, as further referenced in Note 6.
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From matters arising in the ordinary course of business, the Company at times may be subject to actual, pending or threatened litigation, claims, or assessments. Based on the most recent information available, the Company periodically assesses the contingencies related to such matters and considers the need to record reserves in the event it is deemed probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of its contingent loss, net of any applicable insurance coverage, can be reasonably estimated. As additional information becomes available, the Company adjusts its assessment and estimates of such liabilities. Based on managements assessment, litigation is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.
10
The Company has an operating lease for its office space which is subject to escalations based on increases in the lessors operating costs and property taxes. The Company subleases all of its premises to third parties. In 2011, the Company entered into a space sharing agreement with an affiliate. The agreed rent expense is for a flat amount of $384,000 per year for as long as the Company occupies the premises. The future minimum lease commitments, excluding escalations, as well as the committed sublease income, as of September 30, 2011, listed below:

Rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $305,857 and is included within the occupancy and related expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.
The Company has a $430,000 Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit as security for a seven-year office lease. The letter of credit has an annual response date for automatic extension which was renewed in June 2011 and a final expiration date of no later than June 30, 2015. The letter of credit is collateralized by a $430,000 certificate of deposit which is recorded as restricted cash in the accompanying statement of financial condition.
NOTE 7. OUTSOURCING AGREEMENT
Prior to the acquisition of the Company by Envestnet, Inc. (Note 9) the Company entered into a seven year agreement with a Envestnet, Inc. to outsource its technology platform services business effective April 30, 2010. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company pays platform fees at an agreed upon rate applied to those assets under management to which this agreement relates. These platform fees are recorded as an expense within Professional Services on the statement of operations. In addition, the Company has received and will receive considerations from the third party as an inducement to enter into the agreement as further described below.
Upfront Payment The Company received an upfront payment in the amount of $10,300,000 which is amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the agreement as a reduction of the costs of services Envestnet, Inc. is providing to the Company. A reduction in the amount of $1,103,571 has been reflected in Professional Services on the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, $10,815,919 is reflected as deferred platform fee credits within the statement of financial condition.
11
Progress Payments The Company is also receiving progress payments of $1,000,000 annually over the first five years of the agreement. Such amounts are recognized as they become due and have been recorded in the statement of financial condition as progress fee receivable and a credit to professional services within the statement of operations.
Deferred Payment Within 60 days after the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the agreement, Envestnet, Inc will pay the Company (the deferred payment), an amount calculated as the difference between the average annual revenues earned by Envestnet, Inc under the agreement over the five year period times 2.3 and the Upfront Payment. Such deferred payment can never be a negative amount. The Company has not recognized any amounts in the financial statements related to the deferred payment as realization of such amounts cannot be assured beyond a reasonable doubt at this time.
Warrants The Company also entered into a separate agreement with Envestnet, Inc. on February 8, 2010, whereby Envestnet, Inc. granted to the Company warrants (Warrants) to purchase common stock. The exercise date of the Warrants was July 29, 2010, which is the date Envestnet, Inc. completed an IPO, the par value was $.001, the warrant price was 120% of the IPO price, and the expiration date is 42 months after initial exercise date. The Warrants are nontransferable unless transfer is made to a party approved by Envestnet, Inc. The Warrants hold no voting rights nor are they entitled to receive dividends. The fair value of the Warrants upon issuance was $3,260,255 and was accounted for as additional consideration related to the agreement and is being recognized as a reduction of the costs of the services Envestnet, Inc. provides the Company. For the period ended September 30, 2011, the Company reduced cost of services in the amount of $349,313 within Professional Services on the accompanying statement of operations over the term of the agreement.
In 2011, the Company received proceeds of $2,394,721 in exchange for the sale of the Warrant to an unrelated third party. The sale resulted in a loss of $5,351,946 which has been recorded as a non operating expense on the accompanying Statement of Operations.
NOTE 8. RESTRUCTURING
In association with the Outsourcing Agreement, the Company, in 2010, closed certain locations, in order to more appropriately align and manage the Companys resources.
