BofI HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BofI Holding, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Bank of Internet USA (the “Bank” and collectively with BofI Holding, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements, presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Results for the three months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended June 30, 2008 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior-period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investment Securities—Currently, we classify investment securities as either trading, available-for-sale or held to maturity. Trading securities are those securities for which we have elected fair value accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 159, see Note 7. Trading securities are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings each period. Securities available for sale are reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of the related tax effects, excluded from operations and reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The fair values of securities traded in active markets are obtained from market quotes. If quoted prices in active markets are not available, we determine the fair value from our internal pricing models. Securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and recorded at amortized cost. Amortization of purchase premiums and accretion of discounts on securities are recorded as yield adjustments on such securities using the effective interest method. The specific identification method is used for purposes of determining cost in computing realized gains and losses on investment securities sold.

At each reporting date, we monitor our available-for-sale and held to maturity securities for other-than-temporary impairment. Other-than-temporary impairment losses are recognized in noninterest income with a corresponding reduction in the carrying value of the investment.

Allowance for Loan Losses —The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level estimated to provide for probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on reviews of individual loans and pools of loans, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of loans and other pertinent factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective and requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is charged against current period operating results and recoveries of loans previously charged-off. The allowance is decreased by the amount of charge-offs of loans deemed uncollectible.

Under the allowance for loan loss policy, impairment calculations are determined based on general portfolio data for general reserves and loan level data for specific reserves. Specific loans are evaluated for impairment and are generally classified as nonperforming or in foreclosure when they are 90 days or more delinquent. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if repayment of the loan is expected primarily from the sale of collateral.

General loan loss reserves are calculated by grouping each loan by collateral type and by grouping the loan-to-value ratios of each loan within the collateral type. An estimated allowance rate for each loan-to-value group within each type of loan is multiplied by the total principal amount in the group to calculate the required general reserve attributable to that group. Management uses an

Table of Contents

allowance rate that provides a larger loss allowance for loans with greater loan-to-value ratios. Specific reserves are calculated when an internal asset review of a loan identifies a significant adverse change in the financial position of the borrower or the value of the collateral. The specific reserve is based on discounted cash flows, observable market prices or the estimated value of underlying collateral.

New Accounting Pronouncements — In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on July 1, 2008, see footnote 7 for further information.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, (“SFAS No. 159”). This Statement allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities (as well as certain non-financial instruments that are similar to financial instruments) at fair value. The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. The Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active. This FSP clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides example disclosures for use in such instances. It is effective upon issuance. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on July 1, 2008 and FSP 157-3 upon issuance, see footnote 7 for further information.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, an income tax position will be recognized if it is more likely than not that it will be sustained upon IRS examination, based upon its technical merits. Once that status is met, the amount recorded will be the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 was effective as of the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2007.

The Company adopted FIN 48 effective July 1, 2007. There was no cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 and there was no material effect on the Company’s provision for income taxes for the three ended September 30, 2008. The adoption of FIN 48 had no effect on our financial condition or results of operations. The Company is subject to federal income tax and income tax of the state of California as well as various other states. The Company’s federal income tax returns for the years ended June 30, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 and its California state tax returns for the years ended June 30, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 are open to audit under the statutes of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service and California Franchise Tax Board. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense. There was no penalty or interest expense recorded for the quarter or the three months ended September 30, 2008 or 2007. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next twelve months.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (“EITF 06-4”). This issue requires that a liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants’ employment or retirement. The required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of this EITF to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

(1) Non-agency mortgage-backed securities are primarily AAA-rated bonds collateralized by 1-4 family residential first mortgages.

 

(2) Non-agency debt securities are investment grade trust preferred collateralized debt.

The net unrealized gain of $111 on available for sale securities at September 30, 2008 included gross unrealized gains of $782 and gross unrealized losses of $671. The net unrealized gain of $5,009 on held to maturity securities at September 30, 2008 included gross unrealized gains of $14,685 and gross unrealized losses of $9,676. Fair values for investment securities are obtained from quoted prices on active markets or determined by the Company in accordance with GAAP as discussed in footnote 7.

The Company monitors securities in its held to maturity and available for sale investment portfolios for other-than- temporary impairment. Impairment may result from factors including credit deterioration and changes in market rates relative to the interest rate of the instrument. The Company considers many factors in determining whether impairment is other than temporary, including but not limited to the length of time the security has had a fair value less than the cost basis, the severity of the unrealized loss, the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value, issuer specific factors such as the issuer’s financial condition, external credit ratings and general market conditions.

Recently liquidity and economic uncertainty have increased the volatility of market pricing for mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt securities. Although the fair value will fluctuate, the majority of our investment portfolio consists of mortgage-backed securities from government agencies and non-agency AAA-rated senior mortgage-backed securities. If held to maturity, the contractual principal and interest payments of the securities are expected to be received in full. No loss in principal is expected over the lives of the securities and the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until they mature or for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in the fair value. The determination of whether a decline in market value is other-than-temporary is necessarily a matter of subjective judgment.

4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has two stock incentive plans, the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Plan”) and the 1999 Stock Option Plan (“1999 Plan”), which provide for the granting of non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other awards to employees, directors and consultants. The Company terminated the 1999 Plan in November 2007 and no new option awards will be made under the 1999 Plan.

Stock Options— Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized for the period includes compensation cost for all options granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005, and all options granted subsequent to January 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statements No. 123 and 123(R), respectively. Under this transition method, the Company was not required to restate its operating results for periods ending prior to July 1, 2005 for additional compensation cost associated with the change to fair value recognition.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units— Under the Company’s 2004 Plan, employees and directors are eligible to receive grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units. In accordance with SFAS 123R, the fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units is equal to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors granted 37,685 restricted stock units to employees and directors. All restricted stock unit awards granted during the quarter ended September 30, 2008, vest over three years, one-third on each anniversary date.

The Company’s income before income taxes for the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 included restricted stock compensation expense of $87 and $24, respectively. The total income tax benefit was $36, $10 for quarters ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company recognizes compensation expense based upon the grant-date fair value divided by the vesting and the service period between each vesting date.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Credit-Related Financial Instruments — The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. At September 30, 2008, the Company had $51.0 million in commitments to originate or purchase loans and investment securities.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

As discussed in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” to the condensed consolidated financial statement, effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157 and upon issuance, adopted FSP 157-3, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company also adopted SFAS 159 on July 1, 2008. SFAS 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company elected to adopt the fair value option for trust preferred collateralized debt on the adoption date. SFAS 159 requires that the difference between the carrying value before election of the fair value option and the fair value of these instruments be recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption.

Management believes the adoption of SFAS No. 159 for certain financial instruments will provide the users of its financial statements with transparent and relevant financial information that provides better insight into the Company’s risk management activities. Application of SFAS No. 159 and its disclosure requirements for financial instruments elected to be carried at fair value expands the transparency of risk management activities and eliminates or reduces the obstacles presented by complex accounting standards related to hedging investment securities and other financial instruments.

The following table summarizes the impact of adopting the fair value option for certain financial instruments on July 1, 2008. Amounts shown represent the carrying value of the affected instruments before and after the changes in accounting resulting from the adoption SFAS 159.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial instruments. Trading securities and securities available for sale are financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company may be required to record at fair value other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis such as loans held for sale and impaired loans. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower of cost or market accounting.

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1:    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain U.S. treasury, other U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Table of Contents
Level 2:    Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments, securities and derivative contracts and financial liabilities whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3:    Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models such as discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2008. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (in thousands):

Determination of Fair Value

Securities trading

Trading securities are recorded at fair value. Recent liquidity and economic uncertainty have significantly disrupted the market for collateralized debt securities. As quoted market prices are not available, the fair values for these securities are determined by the Company utilizing internally developed pricing models. The Company’s process considers actual and forecasted default rates, and other individual characteristics of the specific assets comprising the securities as well as the structural subordination and overcollateralization characteristics of the securities to estimate future cash flows and select discount rates to calculate each security’s fair value. Due to the current market conditions as well as the limited trading activity of these securities the market value of these securities is highly sensitive to assumption changes.

Securities available for sale

Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value and consist of mortgage-backed securities - U.S. agency. Fair value is generally based on quoted market prices. If these market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on dealer quotes, pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies. At September 30, 2008 the majority of these instruments were valued using market prices.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various factors and circumstances. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions that could have a material effect on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods.

Our significant accounting policies and practices are described in greater detail in Note 1 to our June 30, 2008 audited consolidated financial statements and under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we had a net loss of $1,817,000 or $0.24 per diluted share compared to net income of $747,000, or $0.08 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Excluding the impact of a one-time loss on our investment in Fannie Mae preferred stock, we earned $2,893,000 or $0.33 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 up $2,146,000 or 287% compared to the quarter ended September 2007. As a result of the U.S. Government’s decision to place Fannie Mae in conservatorship and to suspend dividends to shareholders, our earnings were reduced by an after tax loss of $4,710,000 or $0.57 per diluted share due to the sale of our investment in Fannie Mae preferred stock. On September 7, 2008, the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced that the FHFA was putting Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under conservatorship and giving management control to their regulator, the FHFA. The U.S. Treasury also announced that dividends on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac common and preferred stock were eliminated. Based upon the government’s decision, we sold our investment in Fannie Mae Preferred stock on September 8, 2008 at a pre-tax loss of $7,902,000.

Other key comparisons between our operating results for the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are:

 

   

Net interest income increased $4,850,000 in the 2008 quarter due to a 22.2% increase in average earning assets primarily from mortgage-backed securities. In addition, our net interest margin increased 144 basis points in the quarter ended in September 2008 compared to September 2007, as the earning rates on most loans and investment securities increased while the rates paid on time deposits and borrowings decreased.

 

   

The loan loss provision was $505,000 for the September 2008 quarter compared to $5,000 for the quarter ended September 2007. The increased loan loss provision was due primarily to general declines in housing values and increased charge-offs on RV loans.

 

   

Excluding the pre-tax loss of $7,902,000 related to Fannie Mae preferred stock, non-interest income decreased $470,000 for the September 2008 quarter compared to the quarter ended September 2007. During the September 2008 quarter, we recorded a fair value loss to our trading securities of $177,000. A gain of $220,000 was recorded on the sale of government agency mortgage backed-securities in the September 2007 quarter.

 

   

Salaries, employee benefits and stock-based compensation increased $242,000 for the September 2008 quarter compared to the quarter ended September 2007.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 totaled $7.8 million, a 160.0% increase compared to net interest income of $3.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Total interest and dividend income during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 increased 41.2% to $19.2 million, compared to $13.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The increase in interest and dividend income for the quarter was attributable primarily to growth in average earning assets, primarily investment securities and loans. During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the average balance of investment securities (primarily mortgage-backed securities) increased 32.7% when compared to the average for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The increase in interest income was also the result of our higher rates earned on new loans originated and purchased as well as new non-agency mortgage backed securities purchased. The loan portfolio yield for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 increased 38 basis points and the investment security portfolio yield increased 148 basis points when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The net growth in average earning assets for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 was funded largely by increased short-term borrowings, which account for the majority of the increase in interest expense. Total interest expense increased 6.5% to $11.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared with $10.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The cost of funds increased due to 22.7% growth in average balances, partially offset by a 62 basis point decrease in the average funding rate. Contributing to the decrease in the average funding rate were decreases in average rates for time deposits and reverse repurchase agreements of 27 and 10 basis points, respectively. Similarly, lower rates paid on FHLB advances used to replace maturing advances and new advances used to purchase whole loan pools and mortgage backed securities led to a decrease in FHLB advance funding cost of 90 basis points during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Net interest margin, defined as net interest income divided by average earning assets, increased by 144 basis points to 2.68% for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, compared with 1.24% for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Table of Contents

The improvement in the net interest margin has resulted from specific actions we have taken to manage our assets and liabilities, as well as general changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve and loan risk premiums. Our specific actions include selling our agency mortgage-backed securities and replacing them with higher yielding loans and non-agency mortgage backed securities. In addition, we have lowered our deposit offering rates in an effort to take advantage of lower borrowing rates tied to U.S. Treasury rates. Since September of 2007, the Federal Reserve has reduced the short-term Fed funds rate by 275 basis points, to 2.00% as of September 30, 2008. The rate cuts have reduced and will likely continue to reduce our cost of funding through lower short-term borrowing rates.

Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income

Changes in net interest income are a function of changes in rates and volumes of both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The following table presents information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense for the periods indicated. The total change for each category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability is segmented into the change attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate), the change attributable to variations in interest rates (changes in rates multiplied by old volume) and the change attributable to changes in rate/volume (change in rate multiplied by the change in volume):

Efficiency ratio represents noninterest expense as a percentage of the aggregate of net interest income and noninterest income. Due to the loss on sale of FNMA preferred stock this ratio is not meaningful. Without the loss of $7.902 million in noninterest income, the efficiency ratio would have been 31.8%.

Table of Contents

Total salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation increased $242,000 for the three-month period ending September 30, 2008 and 2007. The increase in salaries is due to adding a new CEO and increases in stock-based compensation for grants of restricted stock units to employees and board members. Our bank staff decreased from 49 full time equivalents to 47 full-time equivalents between September 30, 2007 and 2008.

Professional services, which include accounting and legal fees, increased $99,000 for the quarter. The increase in professional services for the September 2008 quarter was primarily due contract underwriters used in connection with loan pool purchases and various legal fees.

Advertising and promotion expense decreased $208,000 for the comparison of the three-month period ending September 30, 2008 and 2007. The decreases were primarily due to decreased activity for internet advertising and lead acquisitions for our home equity loan program. For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the origination volume of home equity loans was $2.6 million; a decrease of $14.6 million over the $17.2 million originated in the quarter ended in September 2007.

The cost of our FDIC and OTS standard regulatory charges increased $44,000, and other general and administrative expense increased $94,000 when comparing the three-month period ending September 30, 2008 and 2007. Included in these expenses are additional expenses and write-downs to our portfolio of real estate-owned assets of $119,000.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates (income tax provision divided by net income before income tax) for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were (41.3)% and 40.5%, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Balance Sheet Analysis

Our total assets decreased $23.3 million, or 2.0%, to $1,170.9 million, as of September 30, 2008, down from $1,194.2 million at June 30, 2008. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to a decrease in fed funds of $10.5 million, the sale of $9.1 million in book value of Fannie Mae Preferred Stock and principal repayments on our loans and investment securities. Total liabilities also decreased a total of $19.5 million, due largely to a decrease in deposits of $13.2 million, and a decrease of $6.0 million in borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.

Loans

Net loans held for investment decreased to $622.1 million at September 30, 2008 from $631.4 million at June 30, 2008. The decrease in the loan portfolio was due to loan repayments of $34.3 million off set by origination and loan pool purchases of $27.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008.

The Bank originates and purchases mortgage loans with terms that may include repayments that are less than the repayments for fully amortizing loans, including interest only loans, option adjustable-rate mortgages, and other loan types that permit payments that may be smaller than interest accruals. Through September 30, 2008, the net amount of deferred interest on these loan types was not material to the financial position or operating results of the Company.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Loss

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming loans are comprised of nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and on nonaccrual and troubled debt restructured loans. Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans plus other foreclosed real estate or assets owned, net. At September 30, 2008, our nonperforming loans totaled $2,607,000, or 0.42% of total gross loans and our total nonperforming assets totaled $4,480,000, or 0.38% of total assets.

The decrease in nonperforming loans at September 30, 2008 compared to June 30, 2008 was due primarily to the foreclosure of single family loans that were on nonaccrual at June 30, 2008. No reserve for impairment was allocated to the $2.4 million loan in nonaccruing commercial loan, based upon a current appraisal of the collateral. The $197,000 in single family nonperforming loans represents one loan. The amounts in nonperforming single family loans and foreclosed real estate reflect the nationwide downturn in residential housing values. If residential housing values continue to decline, we are likely to experience growth in the level of nonperforming and foreclosed loans in future periods.

The average carrying value of impaired loans was $3,958 and $181 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The interest income recognized during the periods of impairment is insignificant for those loans impaired at September 30, 2008 or 2007. Loans past due 90 days or more which were still accruing were $1,299 at September 30, 2008 and $656 at June 30, 2008.

The Bank has no loans which are considered a troubled debt restructuring at September 30, 2008. A troubled debt restructuring is a performing loan with permanent modifications of principal and interest payments or an extension of maturity dates. Under these arrangements, loan terms are typically reduced to no less than a required monthly interest payment. If the borrower is unable to return to scheduled principal and interest payments at the end of the modification period, foreclosure procedures will be initiated.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We are committed to maintaining the allowance for loan losses at a level that is considered to be commensurate with estimated and known risks in the portfolio. Although the adequacy of the allowance is reviewed quarterly, our management performs an ongoing assessment of the risks inherent in the portfolio. While we believe that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at September 30, 2008, future additions to the allowance will be subject to continuing evaluation of estimated and known, as well as inherent, risks in the loan portfolio.

The assessment of the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses is based upon a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including levels and trends of past due and nonaccrual loans, change in volume and mix of loans, collateral values and charge-off history.

We provide general loan loss reserves for our RV and auto loans based upon the borrower credit score at the time of origination and our loss experience to date. We provide general loan loss reserves for our mortgage loans based upon the size and type of the mortgage loan and the loan-to-value ratio. If we experience a large increase in charge-offs relative to the loan portfolio size, we may be required to increase our loan loss provisions in the future to provide a larger loss allowance.

The following table summarizes activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2008:

The loan loss provision was $505,000 for the quarter ended September 2008 compared to $5,000 for the quarter ended September 2007. The increased loan loss provision was due primarily to general declines in housing values and increased charge-offs on RV loans.

Investment Securities

Total investment securities were $501.7 million as of September 30, 2008, compared with $510.0 million at June 30, 2008. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we didn’t make any purchases of mortgage-backed securities available for sale and received principal repayments of approximately $9.4 million. We also purchased $27.7 million of mortgage-backed securities held to maturity, had $5.0 million in callable bonds called and received principal repayments of approximately $10.2 million. We currently classify agency mortgage-backed and debt securities as held to maturity at the time of purchase based upon small issue size and based on issue features, such as callable terms. We also classify non-agency mortgage-backed securities and certain collateralized debt obligations as held to maturity, based upon issue factors such as monthly adjustable rates, current yields, and other terms that compare favorably to our loan portfolio. Until we increase our level of origination of consumer and mortgage loans, we are likely to continue to increase our investments in mortgage-backed securities.

Deposits

Deposits decreased a net $13.2 million, or 2.3%, to $557.5 million at September 30, 2008, from $570.7 million at June 30, 2008. Our deposit loss composition was a 20.2% increase in interest bearing demand and savings accounts offset by an 8.0% decrease in time deposit accounts. Our reduction in time deposits was the result of decreased promotion and uncompetitive pricing during the first three months of the fiscal year.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Since November 2006, the Company has sold securities under various agreements to repurchase for total proceeds of $130.0 million. The repurchase agreements bear interest rates between 3.24% and 4.75% and scheduled maturities between January 2012 and December 2017. Under these agreements, the Company may be required to repay the $130.0 million and repurchase its securities before the scheduled maturity if the issuer requests repayment on scheduled quarterly call dates. The weighted-average remaining contractual maturity period is 6.1 years and the weighted average remaining period before such repurchase agreements could be called is 1.0 years.

FHLB Advances

We regularly use FHLB advances to manage our interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, manage our liquidity position. Generally, FHLB advances with terms between three and ten years have been used to fund the purchase of single family and multifamily mortgages and to provide us with interest rate risk protection should rates rise. At September 30, 2008, a total of $62.0 million of FHLB advances include agreements that allow the FHLB, at its option, to put the advances back to us after specified dates. The weighted-average remaining contractual maturity period of the $62.0 million in advances is 3.5 years and the weighted average remaining period before such advances could be put to us is 0.95 years.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity decreased $3.8 million to $79.3 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $83.1 million at June 30, 2008. The decrease was the result of our net loss for three months of $1.8 million, a $2.1 million cumulative effect adjustment for our election to adopt Financial Accounting Standard No. 159 for investments in trust preferred collateralized debt.

LIQUIDITY

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we had net cash inflows from operating activities of $1.1 million compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Net operating cash inflows for the periods ended in 2008 and 2007 were primarily due to net income earned during the period, plus the add-back of non-cash adjustments of amortization of loan and security premiums, loan loss provisions and the increase in accrued interest receivable.

Net cash inflows from investing activities totaled $6.8 million and outflows of $95.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net cash in flows from investing activities increased $102.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 primarily due to a decrease of $129.7 million in securities purchases, and an decrease of $23.3 million in loan originations, offset by an increase of $14.4 million in loan purchases and a decrease in securities sales of $20.2 million.

Our net cash used in financing activities totaled $18.3 million ended September 30, 2008 and provided $73.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Net cash provided from financing activities decreased $91.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to September 30, 2007, primarily due to out-flows from deposits of a net $13.2 million and new FHLB advances of $7.0 million, less net maturities of FHLB advances of $13.0 million. During the quarter, the Bank could borrow up to 40.0% of its total assets from the FHLB. Borrowings are collateralized by the pledge of certain mortgage loans and investment securities to the FHLB. We increased our borrowing capacity with the FHLB to 40.0% of total assets in October 2007. Based on the loans and securities pledged at September 30, 2008 we had total borrowing capacity of $477.7 million, of which $393.0 million was outstanding and $84.7 million was available. At September 30, 2008, we also had a $10.0 million unsecured federal funds purchase line with a bank under which no borrowings were outstanding and $1.0 million available through the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window. We believe our liquidity sources to be stable and adequate for our anticipated needs and contingencies. We can increase our level of deposits and borrowings to address our future liquidity needs.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

At September 30, 2008, we had commitments to originate or purchase loans and investment securities of $51.0 million. Time deposits due within one year of September 30, 2008 totaled $219.3 million. We believe the large percentage of time deposits that mature within one year reflects customers’ hesitancy to invest their funds long term. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we may be required to seek other sources of funds, including other time deposits and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on deposits and borrowings than we currently pay on time deposits maturing within one year. We believe, however, based on past experience, a significant portion of our time deposits will remain with us. We believe we have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting interest rates offered.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND REQUIREMENTS

Bank of Internet USA is subject to various regulatory capital requirements set by the federal banking agencies. Failure by our Bank to meet minimum capital requirements could result in certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, our Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation require our Bank to maintain certain minimum capital amounts and ratios. Regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision requires our Bank to maintain minimum ratios of tangible capital to tangible assets of 1.5%, core capital to tangible assets of 4.0% and total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%. At September 30, 2008, our Bank met all the capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject. At September 30, 2008, our Bank was “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be “well capitalized,” our Bank must maintain minimum leverage, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 5.0%, 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively. No conditions or events have occurred since that date that management believes would materially adversely change the Bank’s capital classification. From time to time, we may need to raise additional capital to support our Bank’s further growth and to maintain its “well capitalized” status.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We measure interest rate sensitivity as the difference between amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that mature or contractually re-price within a given period of time. The difference, or the interest rate sensitivity gap, provides an indication of the extent to which an institution’s interest rate spread will be affected by changes in interest rates. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities and negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. In a rising interest rate environment, an institution with a positive gap would be in a better position than an institution with a negative gap to invest in higher yielding assets or to have its asset yields adjusted upward, which would result in the yield on its assets to increase at a faster pace than the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities. During a period of falling interest rates, however, an institution with a positive gap would tend to have its assets mature at a faster rate than one with a negative gap, which would tend to reduce the growth in its net interest income. The following table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities at September 30, 2008:

Although “gap” analysis is a useful measurement device available to management in determining the existence of interest rate exposure, its static focus as of a particular date makes it necessary to utilize other techniques in measuring exposure to changes in interest rates. For example, gap analysis is limited in its ability to predict trends in future earnings and makes no assumptions about changes in prepayment tendencies, deposit or loan maturity preferences or repricing time lags that may occur in response to a change in the interest rate environment.

We attempt to measure the effect market interest rate changes will have on the net present value of assets and liabilities, which is defined as market value of equity. We analyze the market value of equity sensitivity to an immediate parallel and sustained shift in interest rates derived from the current treasury and LIBOR yield curves. For rising interest rate scenarios, the base market interest rate forecast was increased by 100, 200 and 300 basis points. For the falling interest rate scenarios, we used a 100 basis points decrease due to limitations inherent in the current rate environment. The following table indicates the sensitivity of market value of equity to the interest rate movement described above at September 30, 2008:

The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes is based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of interest rates, asset prepayments, runoffs in deposits and changes in repricing levels of deposits to general market rates, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Furthermore, these computations do not take into account any actions that we may undertake in response to future changes in interest rates.

 

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES OF MARKET RISKS

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding market risks in our portfolio, see, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

 

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer along with our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation referred to above that occurred during the quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s size dictates that it conducts business with a minimal number of financial and administrative employees, which inherently results in a lack of documented controls and segregation of duties within the Company. Management will continue to evaluate the employees involved and the controls procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation and whether the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties justifies the expense associated with such added personnel. In addition, management is aware that many of the internal controls that are in place at the Company are undocumented controls.

The Company believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control are met and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not involved in any material legal proceedings. From time to time we are a party to a claim or litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, such as claims to enforce liens, claims involving the origination and servicing of loans, and other issues related to the business of the Bank. In the opinion of our management, the resolution of any such issues would not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We face a variety of risks that are inherent in our business and our industry. The following are some of the more significant factors that could affect our business and our results of operations:

 

   

We are subject to changing government laws and regulations, which could adversely affect our operations.

 

   

Our results of operations could vary as a result of the methods, estimates, and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies.

 

   

We may elect to seek additional capital but it may not be available when it is needed and limit our ability to execute our strategic plan.

 

   

Changes in interest rates could adversely affect our income.

 

   

Many of our mortgage and consumer loans, particularly recreational vehicle loans and home equity loans are generally unseasoned, and defaults on such loans would harm our business.

 

   

If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings, capital adequacy and overall financial condition may suffer materially.

 

   

Declining real estate values, particularly in California, could reduce the value of our loan portfolio and impair our profitability and financial condition.

 

   

We purchase and originate loans in bulk or “pools.” We may experience lower yields or losses on loans because the assumptions we use may not always prove correct.

 

   

We invest in mortgage-backed securities and other securities issued by entities, which may be downgraded by large credit rating agencies decreasing the value of our securities.

 

   

Our success depends in large part on the continuing efforts of a few individuals. If we are unable to retain these personnel or attract, hire and retain others to oversee and manage our company, our business could suffer.

 

   

We depend on third-party service providers for our core banking technology, and interruptions in or terminations of their services could materially impair the quality of our services.

 

   

We are exposed to risk of environmental liability with respect to properties to which we take title.

 

   

We have risks of systems failure and security risks, including “hacking” and “identity theft.”

These risks are described in more detail under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008. We encourage you to read these risk factors in their entirety. Other factors may also exist that we cannot anticipate or that we currently do not consider being significant based on information that is currently available.
