FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ITLA CAPITAL CORPORATION DECLARES CASH DIVIDEND AND
ANNOUNCES EXTENSION OF STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

La Jolla, California (March 14, 2006) ---- ITLA Capital Corporation (NASDAQ - ITLA) announced that its Board of Directors has approved the declaration of a quarterly $0.15 per share cash dividend and the twelfth extension of its stock repurchase program of up to an additional five percent of its outstanding shares.

The dividend is payable on April 11, 2006 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 28, 2006. This represents the first quarterly dividend paid by the Company since its initial public offering in 1995.

The Company has now substantially completed the repurchase of shares authorized under the eleventh extension, which the Company announced in October 2005. Under this program, management may acquire, at its discretion, shares of outstanding common stock of the Company through purchases on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

President and Chief Executive Officer George W. Haligowski stated that: "The declaration of a cash dividend and the extension of the stock repurchase program continues the effective use of our capital resources through a prudent capital management strategy. Despite competitive market conditions and a flattening yield curve, the Company's internal loan originations and acquisitions are forecasted to be approximately $300 million for the first quarter of 2006 which provides us the confidence to initiate these capital management strategies at this time. The Company's current excess capital position and future earnings should provide adequate resources to fund our continued growth expectations and capital management strategy."

Repurchased shares may become treasury shares and will be utilized in the normal course of the Company's capital management activities, including the potential funding of employee benefit programs. From the inception of the Company's stock repurchase program in 1997 through December 31, 2005, 3.3 million shares have been repurchased, returning approximately $90.0 million of capital to shareholders.
