Management’s Responsibility for the Combined Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these abbreviated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these abbreviated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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 abbreviated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the abbreviated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the abbreviated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Business’s preparation and fair presentation of the abbreviated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Business’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the abbreviated financial statements.
PortfolioCenter Business of Performance Technologies, Inc.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the abbreviated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Business as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(1) | Description of the Transaction, Description of the Business, and Basis of Presentation |
Description of the transaction
On February 21, 2019, Performance Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation (“Schwab”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Envestnet, Inc. and Tamarac Inc. to sell certain assets and liabilities of its portfolio management and reporting technology solution business (the “PortfolioCenter Business” or the “Business”) to Tamarac Inc.
Description of the Business
The PortfolioCenter Business is a solution set owned by Performance Technologies, Inc. The PortfolioCenter Business provides investment advisors and investment advisory service providers with desktop, hosted and outsourced multicustodial software solutions. These solutions provide data-management and performance-measurement tools, as well as customizable accounting, reporting, and billing functions delivered through the commercial software application products known as PortfolioCenter Desktop, PortfolioCenter Hosted, PortfolioServices and Service Bureau (collectively the “PortfolioCenter Products”). The PortfolioCenter Business operates in the United States.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying abbreviated financial statements were prepared to present the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and revenues and direct expenses for the Business in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The statements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and statements of revenues and direct expenses were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Business’ assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
Historically, stand-alone financial statements related to the Business have not been prepared, as Schwab did not maintain separate discrete financial information for the Business. Therefore, it is not practical to provide complete financial statements. These abbreviated financial statements represent the PortfolioCenter Business subject to sale under the Agreement, and were derived from the accounting records of Schwab. The abbreviated financial statements include the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accordance with the Agreement. The abbreviated financial statements also include certain allocations of direct expenses from Schwab, such as software, infrastructure, certain compensation-related costs for product development and application maintenance, other compensation-related costs for employees directly supporting the Business, and certain general and administration costs, which are directly associated with the revenue-generating activities of the Business. Direct expenses are allocated by Schwab to the Business primarily based on specific identification, relative proportion of Business costs to Schwab costs, and headcount on a full-time equivalent basis. Management believes the direct expenses allocated and the methodologies used to allocate such direct expenses are reasonable and appropriate. The abbreviated financial statements do not include corporate overhead costs, such as executive management, risk management, accounting, tax, legal, compliance, human resources, information technology management, and other general support functions, as these costs are not directly associated with the revenue-generating activities of the Business. The financial information presented herein may not be indicative of the results that would have been achieved if the Business operated as a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. In addition, the abbreviated financial statements may not be indicative of the financial condition or results of operations of the Business going forward.
The Business’ cash activities have historically been comingled with Schwab’s, and are therefore not separately identifiable. All cash flow requirements of the Business were historically funded by Schwab, and cash management functions were not performed at the PortfolioCenter Business level. The preparation of complete statements of cash flows was therefore not practicable, as the Business did not maintain a separate cash balance.

(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Use of estimates
The preparation of the abbreviated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the accompanying abbreviated financial statements and in the related disclosures. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the abbreviated financial statements. While management makes its best judgment, actual amounts or results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
The Business’ accounting policies for revenue recognition are discussed in Note 3.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues represents costs of technology and infrastructure used to provide the PortfolioCenter Products. These costs include direct compensation-related costs for product development and application maintenance, software costs and other infrastructure costs that are either specifically identifiable to the Business or allocated by Schwab based on relative proportion of specifically identified costs.
Compensation and benefits
Compensation and benefits includes direct compensation and employee benefits for employees of the Business, excluding certain compensation-related costs for product development and application maintenance. Such costs are either specifically identifiable to the Business or allocated by Schwab primarily based on headcount. Compensation and benefits includes certain employee benefits provided by Schwab, which are described below.
Stock option plan
Schwab grants stock options to employees for the purchase of shares of common stock. Options are granted at an exercise price not less than market value on the date of grant, and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options generally vest annually over a one- to four-year period from the date of grant.
Restricted stock units
Restricted stock units are awards that entitle the holder to receive shares of Schwab’s common stock following a vesting period. Restricted stock units are restricted from transfer or sale and generally vest annually over a one- to four-year period.
Compensation expense related to the stock option plan and restricted stock units amounted to $228 and $82 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These costs are based on grant date fair values. Since the underlying stock is Schwab’s and not the Business’ stock, the Business settles the allocated amounts in cash through the process of payment and settlement with Schwab or its affiliates.
Retirement plan
Schwab sponsors a qualified retirement plan, the SchwabPlan® Retirement Savings and Investment Plan, in which certain employees of the Business participate. Schwab may match certain employee contributions or make additional contributions to this plan at its discretion.
Compensation expense related to the retirement plan amounted to $230 and $269 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

General and administration
General and administration represents direct expenses for bank card processing charges, professional services charges for offshore support, travel and entertainment, communication, and other general and administration expenses which were either specifically identifiable to the Business or allocated by Schwab primarily based on headcount.
Intangible assets
Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives in a manner that best reflects their economic benefit. All intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Intangible assets for customer lists at cost were $1,307 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and related accumulated amortization was $1,307 and $1,297 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the fair value of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of the individually identified net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or whenever indications of impairment exist. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, resulting in an impairment charge for this excess. The Business can elect to qualitatively assess goodwill for impairment if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value.
If the Business elects to bypass qualitatively assessing goodwill, or it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, management estimates the fair value of each reporting unit (defined as the businesses for which financial information is available and reviewed regularly by management) and compares it to the carrying values. The Business performed the annual impairment analysis as of December 31, 2018. The Business concluded it has one reporting unit. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is established using a market approach wherein management estimates the fair value based on market multiples of revenues and earnings derived from comparable publicly-traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit and recent market transactions. The Business did not recognize any goodwill impairment in any of the years presented.

As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded.
