  11. Objectives and Approach An Opera Collections Diagnostic identifies and prioritizes collections enhancement opportunities ensuring near term impact, and sustainable performance lift • Identify collections enhancement opportunities with meaningful impact and sustainable performance lift OBJECTIVE • 6-8 week effort (assuming immediate availability of data) • Review of book of business, existing processes and infrastructure • Identification of collections enhancement opportunities through analytics and operational improvements • Quantification of financial impact and prioritization of the initiatives APPROACH • Prioritized list of opportunities with associated financial impact • Implementation blueprint to capture the identified opportunities • Immediate kick-off of near term initiatives DELIVERABLES

  12. Collections Diagnostic Process • Opera utilizes a proven methodology to uncover and prioritize opportunities across the collections spectrum DELIVERABLES FOCUS • Detailed view of book of business • Collections processes and procedures • Current /historical performance • Book of business profile • Collections operations map • Infrastructure map I. Establish Baseline • Identify collections enhancement opportunities by • leveraging account-level data • Understanding collections environment • Assess financial impact • Collections enhancement map • Financial impact II. Identify Enhancement Opportunities • Prioritize opportunities based on: • Financial impact • Level of effort required • Develop implementation plans for each opportunity • Prioritized opportunities • Implementation blueprint III. Develop Implementation Blueprint

  13. Collections Diagnostic Benefits • The Opera Collections Diagnostic is a high impact, low risk opportunity • Revenue opportunities typically fall in the range if 15% to 20% of total delinquencies for each client • Opera has identified in excess of $1 billion combined improvement opportunities • Minimal client capital and human resource investment is required • Opera often ties its compensation to results

  15. State of Delaware Case Study • Opera recently completed a Collections Diagnostic for the State of Delaware Department of Revenue • DOR management has graciously agreed to share the highlights of this study with today’s audience • All of us at Opera thank Delaware Director of Revenue Patrick Carter, Deputy Director of Revenue Colleen Yegla and Sharon Ferrara, Manager of the Bureau of Tax Collection for their collaboration and support during the course of this project

  16. Portfolio Overview: Potential Opportunity A significant portion of the Delaware portfolio that has never made a payment - $180MM. There is a substantial opportunity to improve collections performance for this group of accounts Inventory Overview by Payment History As of May 2011, Balances and Collections in Millions Opera can help to capture an incremental10 – 15% of this group Paid 12-24 Months Last Payment >24 Months Total Balances Paid in Last 12 Months No Payment in 12 Months Never Paid

  17. Account Distribution by Income Range Debtors who make more than $50K make up only 34% of the total population, but they make up over 50% of the balances and payments; isolating these debtors may increase efficiencies in the tax portfolio Account Distribution by Income Balance in $ 000,000’s and Payments in $ 000’s Average Balance Average Payment >$100 $9,256 $3,085 $50-100 $6,376 $1,794 $25-50 $3,631 $1,058 $0-25 $3,951 $779 Accounts Original Balance Total Payments

  18. Balance, Collections, and Liquidation Heat Map Segmenting the portfolio by income band and number of accounts per person shows that the low income, high account taxpayers perform much worse than the high income and low account debtors Delinquent Balances Payments The lowest performing segment consists of low income individuals with multiple cases Liquidations Most attractive segment consists of high income customers with one account

  19. Cumulative Payments Post-Placement by Income Band After 18 months, the marginal increase in collections from one month to the next is very small for the lower income ranges $ Collected by Income Level Collections in $MM $ Collected, in MM 6.5 6.0 5.5 >100K 5.0 4.5 4.0 50 - 100K 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 D. 25-50 1.5 1.0 0 - 25K 0.5 0.0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 Months Since Placement

  20. Sample: Account Prioritization by Income Range Debtors who make more than $50K make up only 34% of the total population, but they make up over 50% of the balances and payments; isolating these debtors may increase efficiencies in the tax portfolio Account Distribution by Income1 Accounts in 0’s, Balance in $ 000,000 and Payments in $ 000’s >$100 $50-100 DOR can benefit from accelerated outsourcing of accounts of taxpayers earning less than $20k/year and redirecting released resources to higher-value accounts $25-50 $0-25 # of Accts Original Balance Total Payments 1 Income data from bc_case_history file and RETURN_AGI field from all accounts with AGI information

  21. Potential Strategy Changes By shifting resources away from low income and low balance accounts, DOR can significantly increase the efforts against larger accounts, increasing collections in the more liquid high income segments ILLUSTRATIVE Sample Strategies Using Income as a Differentiator OCA OCA OCA Dialer OCA Work effort proportionate to % of total balances for taxpayers with income of$25+ Benefit based on hypothetical 20% improvement based on reallocation of resources and improved automation; potential savings not included

  22. Opera Recommendation Engine: How It Works Opera will provide daily updates and prioritized lists of accounts to work to DOR collections management. Lists will be created based on Opera’s recommender models built using DOR data • ----- • ----- • ----- • ----- • ----- • ----- • ----- • ----- • ----- • ----- Delaware Data Sets: Delinquency Data Income Data Other Data Sources Opera Recommendation Engine Account 1 Account 2 Account 3 Skip Trace Data: 3rd party Zip + 4 Data: Opera Bureau Account 4 Account 5 Account 6 Account 7 Account 8 Account 9

  23. Opportunity Areas Overall, five areas of opportunity were identified by the Collections Diagnostic Opera provided specific recommendations for each area • AREAS OFOPPORTUNITY Reporting and Analytics Collector Performance Maximizing Payments Increasing Contact Account Prioritization
