BofI HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND 2005

(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 financials 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, 2006 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, 2006 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Allowance for Loan Losses — The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level estimated to provide for probable 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 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. Loan-to-value ratios are calculated using the loan principal balance at period end and the loan valuation at the time of origination or purchase of loan. 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 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.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities — Derivative contracts, such as an interest rate cap, are recorded on the balance sheet, either as an asset or a liability or as a component of the hedged item, at their fair value. On the date that we enter into a derivative contract, we designate the derivative as (1) a hedge of (a) a forecasted transaction or (b) the variability of cash flows that are to be received or paid in connection with a recognized asset or liability (a “cash flow” hedge); (2) a hedge of (a) the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or (b) an unrealized firm commitment; or (3) an instrument that is held for trading or non-hedging purposes (a “trading” or “non-hedging” instrument). Changes in the fair value of derivative trading and non-hedging instruments are reported in current-period earnings. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.

Table of Contents

The fair value of derivative instruments is based on quoted market prices received from independent sources. Active markets may not exist for our derivative instruments. Consequently, the independent sources we use to obtain quoted market prices may be using estimating techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis and comparison to similar instruments to determine the fair value of our derivative instruments. Estimates developed by these independent sources are subjective and require the judgment of the independent sources regarding significant matters such as the amount, timing and probabilities of potential future cash flows. Since these estimates are made as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material change over time.

Stock-Based Compensation — The Company determines stock-based compensation expense using the fair value method required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-based Payment. Refer to Note 3, Stock-based Compensation below, for additional disclosures.

New Accounting Pronouncements — In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition and measurement threshold for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of FIN 48.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment to FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. It also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133 and establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of adopting SFAS No. 155.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 108. This SAB provides detailed guidance to registrants in the determination of what is material to their financial statements. This SAB is required to be applied to financial statements issued after November 15, 2006. Upon adoption, the cumulative effect of applying the new guidance is to be reflected as an adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the current fiscal year. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of SAB 108.

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has two stock incentive plans, the 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated, and the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”), 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.

1999 Stock Option Plan—In July 1999, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 1999 Stock Option Plan and in August 2001, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 1999 Plan such that 15% of the outstanding shares of the Company would always be available for grants under the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan is designed to encourage selected employees and directors to improve operations and increase profits, to accept or continue employment or association with the Company through participation in the growth in the value of the common stock. The 1999 Plan provisions require that option exercise prices be not less than fair market value per share of common stock on the option grant date for incentive and nonqualified options. The options issued under the 1999 Plan generally vest in between three and five years. Option expiration dates are established by the plan administrator but may not be later than 10 years after the date of the grant.

2004 Stock Incentive Plan—In October 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors and the stockholders approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, plus the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 1999 Stock Option Plan will be equal to 14.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock at any time. However, the number of shares available for issuance as restricted stock grants may not exceed 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (subject to the overall maximum of 14.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock). Each share of restricted stock that is issued under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and vests will be deemed to be the issuance of three shares for purposes of calculating the overall maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plans but not for purposes of calculating the above 5% limit applicable to the issuance of restricted stock. At September 30, 2006, there were a maximum of 1,229,706 option shares available for issuance under the limits of the Plans described above.

Stock Options— Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company accounted for the Plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123. No stock option compensation cost was recognized in the income statements as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date.

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.

The Company’s income before income taxes and net income for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 included stock option compensation cost of $99 and $79, respectively. At September 30, 2006, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested grants aggregated to $1,118 and is expected to be recognized in future periods as follows:

On July 24, 2006 the Company granted stock options for 140,000 shares to directors and employees under the 2004 Plan. The non-qualified stock options were issued with a grant-day exercise price, equal to the market price of $7.35 and with vesting periods of three years for directors and four years for employees, with no vesting until after 12 months. The fair value of each option awarded under the Plans is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average grant-date fair value and the assumptions used in the valuations for each period are summarized as follows:

 

     For the Three Months Ended

     2006    2005

Weighted-average grant-date fair value per share

   $ 3.09    $ 4.02

Weighted-average expected life

     6.0 to 6.25 years      6.0 to 6.25 years

Prior to March 15, 2005, the Company was a nonpublic entity and used the minimum value method, which excludes a volatility factor in estimating the value of stock options in accordance with SFAS 123. The Company was a public entity at the time SFAS 123(R) became effective. After the Company became publicly traded on March 15, 2005, expected volatilities have been based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and the common stock volatility of similar banks with a longer history of public trading. The weighted-average expected life of options granted is based upon an estimate of the life, as prescribed in SAB 107. A forfeiture rate of 1.5% was estimated for fair value calculations made during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 based upon past experience.

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, 2006 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/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OVERVIEW

During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we earned $746,000, or $0.08 per diluted share compared to $846,000, or $0.09 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Our quarterly net income decreased 11.8% and our earnings per share decreased 11.1% in the 2006 quarter compared to 2005. Key comparisons between our operating results for the quarter ended September 2006 compared to September 2005 are:

 

    net interest income decreased $31,000 in 2006 primarily due to a 31 basis point decrease in our net interest margin which substantially offset our 21% increase in average earning assets;

 

    non-interest income decreased $43,000 primarily due to lower mortgage loan prepayment penalty and mortgage banking income, substantially offset by an increase in gains on sales of securities;

 

    non-interest expense for the 2006 quarter increased $114,000 primarily due to increases in advertising and professional services offset by a decrease in compensation. Our efficiency ratio was 56.3% in the 2006 quarter compared to 50.9% for 2005.

Table of Contents

Our earnings rely on our net interest income and our net interest income has been negatively impacted by the flattening yield curve. Our net interest margin declined to 1.31% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 1.62% for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The flattening yield curve has caused our deposit rates and interest expense to increase without a proportional increase in our interest earned on our loans and mortgage-backed securities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 decreased $100,000 to $746,000 or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to $846,000 or $0.09 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Net income before income tax for the three months ended September 30, 2006 decreased by approximately $0.15 million to $1.25 million compared to $1.40 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease resulted primarily from the $114,000 increase in non-interest expense, a $31,000 decrease in net interest income and a $43,000 decrease in non-interest income, partially offset by a $35,000 favorable change in the loan loss provision.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 totaled $2.4 million, a 1.3% decrease compared to net interest income of $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.

Total interest and dividend income during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 increased 38.9% to $10.0 million, compared with $7.2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The increase in interest and dividend income for the quarter is attributable to growth in average earning assets, primarily loans and investment securities (primarily mortgage-back securities). Comparing average balances for the quarters, September 2006 compared to 2005, loans and investment securities grew 6.3% and 82.2%, respectively. Higher rates on new loans and rate adjustments in the loan portfolio caused the loan portfolio yield for the 2006 quarter to increase 55 basis points compared with the same period in 2005, contributing to the increase in interest income. The net growth in average earning assets for the three-month period was funded largely by increases in time deposits and advances from the FHLB, which account for the majority of the increases in interest expense. Total interest expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 increased 59.6% to $7.5 million, compared with $4.7 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Comparing average balances for the quarter ended September 2006 to 2005, time deposits and advances from the FHLB grew 32.8% and 46.2%, respectively. Higher rates paid on new time deposits caused the time deposit rate for the 2006 quarter to increase 84 basis points compared with same period in 2005. Similarly, higher rates paid on new FHLB advances caused the rate for 2006 to increase 79 basis points compared with same period in 2005. The combined rate and rate / volume variance (primarily from increases in time deposits and FHLB advance rates) accounted for 59.5% of the total increase in interest expense for the quarter comparison.

Net interest margin, defined as net interest income divided by average earning assets, decreased by 31 basis points to 1.31% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared with 1.62% for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The net interest margin declined for the quarter as a result of the continued flattening of the yield curve. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we increased our investment in mortgage-backed securities, because we believed they offered better relative credit risk compared to the pricing levels of mortgage whole loans. The mortgage-backed securities we purchased provide a guarantee from a government-sponsored entity like FNMA, while single-family whole loan originations and purchases do not have a credit guarantee. Generally, the credit risk premiums on mortgage whole loans (the difference between the interest rate earned on a whole loan and the rate earned on a long-term U.S. Treasury) have decreased due to the strong housing market and the lower mortgage default levels over the last few years. As result, high quality mortgage loan rates remain relatively low, contributing to our decrease in net interest margin.

Our net interest margin has also been negatively influenced by the flattening of the yield curve. The interest rates we pay on our deposits generally move with short-term rates and the interest yield on our loans generally moves with long-term rates. Increases in the Fed Funds rates over the past two years have caused short-term rates to rise, without corresponding increases in long-term rates causing the yield curve to flatten. Our cost of funds (primarily deposit interest) for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, increased 95 basis points. Our yield on earning assets (primarily loan interest) for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, increased only 66 basis points. If the slope of the yield curve does not increase, we may not be able to grow the size of our earning assets at the same rate we have experienced over the past four years and our net interest margin may continue to decline and remain below historic levels.

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):

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was a benefit of $25,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to $10,000 expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The benefit provision for the 2006-quarter was the result of shifting our investment mix out of multifamily mortgage loans and into mortgage-backed securities. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for credit losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on the factors discussed under the “Allowance for Loan Losses” section of this report.

Table of Contents

Non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 decreased $43,000, or 10.5% to $367,000 compared to $410,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Decreases in prepayment penalty fee income and in mortgage banking income, partially offset by the $205,000 gain on the sale of securities, are the primary reasons for the decrease in non-interest income. During the 2006 quarter, available for sale securities totalling $38.9 million were sold to provide proceeds to buy higher yielding whole loans and mortgage-backed securities. A decreased volume of multifamily loan originations accounts for the decrease in mortgage banking fees in the 2006 quarter. There are many factors influencing borrowers’ decision to payoff loans early, making prepayment penalty fee income somewhat unpredictable from quarter to quarter.

Non-interest expense, which is comprised primarily of compensation, data processing and internet expenses, occupancy and other operating expenses, was $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Total compensation decreased $19,000 to $719,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to $738,000 for the same quarter last year. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-based Payment, and has included the stock-based employee compensation expense of $120,000 in its compensation expense – stock option and stock grants—for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $90,000 for the same period last year. Stock based compensation increased in the 2006 quarter due to the grant of additional stock options to employees and directors on July 24, 2006. Salaries and benefits decreased $49,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 due primarily to a decrease in deferred executive compensation and lower lending-based commission expenses.

Professional services which includes accounting and legal fees, increased $44,000 for quarter ended September 30, 2006. The increases in professional services were primarily due to increased internal and external audit fees, and fees for investor relations and consultants, not in the 2005 period.

Data processing and internet expense increased in 2006 compared to 2005 generally due to the increase in the number of deposit customers, new website development costs, and the addition of third-party software for securities tracking and research.

Other general and administrative expenses include advertising and promotion, telephone, postage, supplies, insurance and other miscellaneous deposit and loan related expenses. Other general and administrative expenses increased $74,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The primary reasons for the increase in other general and administrative expenses relate to increased marketing of $92,000, offset by decreases primarily in insurance cost.

Our efficiency ratio was 56.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 50.9% for the corresponding period in 2005. Our non-interest expense as a percent of average assets (G &A ratio) was 0.84% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 0.95% for the corresponding period in 2005.

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, 2006 and 2005 were 40.03% and 39.70%, respectively. The variations in our effective tax rate have been primarily related to our investment in bank-owned life insurance (BOLI), which generates non-taxable income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Balance Sheet Analysis

Our total assets increased $28.4 million, or 3.8%, to $766.2 million, as of September 30, 2006, up from $737.8 million at June 30, 2006. The increase in total assets was primarily due to the purchase of mortgage-backed securities, which caused a net increase in mortgage-backed securities available for sale of $34.9 million. The asset growth was funded by a net increase in deposits totalling $19.2 million and a net increase in FHLB advances of $7.0 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2006, our asset and liability mix changed primarily two ways. First, time deposits increased to 86.1% of total deposits, up from 84.4% at June 30, 2006. We expect this trend to continue as the rise in short-term rates has increased bank competition for time deposits making time deposit rates more attractive to many consumers. Second, we increased our single family loan portfolio to 24.8% of total loans, up from 21.5% at June 30, 2006. During the three months we purchased $24.4 million in whole loans and $84.4 million in mortgage-backed securities available for sale. We sold available for sale securities totalling $38.9 million to provide proceeds to purchase higher yielding whole loans and mortgage-backed securities. Our decision to invest in either whole loans or mortgage-backed securities depends on a number of factors which often change from day to day including the number of opportunities to originate and purchase loan pools, the yields, the credit risk, changing mortgage repayment rates and the flattening in the yield curve. Furthermore, until the trends toward a flattening or inverting yield curve reverse, our ability to obtain mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities that meet our yield requirements will be adversely affected. In October 2006, we announced our intentions to increase our originations of higher-yielding consumer loans.

Loans

Net loans held for investment increased $1.7 million, or 0.32% to $535.3 million at September 30, 2006 from $533.6 million at June 30, 2006. The growth in loans during the three months was primarily due to purchases of single-family loans, which, net of repayments, increased our single-family portfolio by $18.1 million at September 30, 2006. Total loan purchases and originations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 of $27.2 million were added to the portfolio. Loan portfolio repayments were $25.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

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, 2006, the net amount of deferred interest on these loan types was not material to the financial position or operating results of the Company.

Table of Contents

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more but not on nonaccrual, restructured loans and other real estate owned, net. There were no nonperforming assets on September 30, 2006.

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, 2006, 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 and collateral values. We did not have any nonperforming loans at September 30, 2006 or 2005. We believe that our history is limited and it is unlikely that every loan in our investment portfolio will continue to perform without exception so we provide general allowances based upon the overall volume of loans, the loan types and the estimated collateral values.

The provision for loan losses amounted to a benefit of $25,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to a $10,000 expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. General reserves are a function of our portfolio loan balance. Generally, the larger the increase in our loan portfolio the higher loan loss provisions will be.

Investment Securities

Total mortgage-backed securities available for sale was $162.2 million as of September 30, 2006, compared with $127.3 million at June 30, 2006. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we purchased $84.4 million in mortgage-backed securities available for sale and received principal repayments of approximately $11.0 million. During that same period, we sold $38.9 million in available for sale mortgaged –backed securities to provide proceeds to purchase higher yielding whole loans and mortgage-backed securities.

The Bank intends to hold its held to maturity securities until the amortized cost is realized. The unrealized losses are due primarily to interest rate fluctuations.

Deposits

Deposits increased a net $19.2 million, or 4.5%, to $443.4 million at September 30, 2006, from $424.2 million at June 30, 2006. Our deposit growth was comprised of increases in time deposit accounts of $23.7 million offset by a decline in checking, savings, and money market accounts of $4.5 million. Our growth in deposits was the result of increased promotion and competitive pricing on time deposits. Our money market savings decreased as a result of less competitive rate pricing resulting in customer transfers to our higher rate time deposits or withdrawals.

FHLB Advances

We regularly use FHLB advances to manage our interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, manage our liquidity position. FHLB advances increased 3.0% to $243.2 million as of September 30, 2006, representing a net increase of $7.0 million from June 30, 2006. FHLB advances with terms between two and five years were 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, 2006, a total of $43.0 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 $43.0 million in advances is 4.1 years and the weighted average remaining period before such advances could be put to us is 1.5 years.

Stockholders’ equity increased $0.6 million to $70.8 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $70.2 million at June 30, 2006. The increase was the result of our net income for the quarter of $0.7 million, a $0.6 million unrealized gain from our available for sale securities, and $0.1 million for paid in capital from stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by, a $0.1 million for dividends paid to holders of our convertible preferred stock and a $0.7 million reduction for our buyback of 105,500 shares of our common stock.

LIQUIDITY

During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we had net cash inflows from operating activities of $2.4 million compared to $674,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Net cash inflows for the periods ended in 2006 and 2005 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 and an increase in accrued interest payable partially offset by the increase in accrued interest receivable and other assets.

Net cash outflows from investing activities totaled $40.0 million and $43.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net cash outflows from investing activities decreased $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 due to an increase in purchases of investment securities and time deposits by $56.9 million offset primarily by increases in proceeds from sales and repayment of investment securities and time deposits of $45.6 million and a reduction of purchased loans of $17.8 million.

Our net cash provided by financing activities totaled $25.4 million and $44.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net cash provided from financing activities decreased $18.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to September 30, 2005, primarily due to the slower deposit growth by $20.0 million offset by cash inflows from FHLB advances of $2.0 million.

As an additional source of funds, Bank of Internet USA can borrow up to 35.0% of its total assets from the FHLB. Borrowings are collateralized by the pledge of certain mortgage loans and investment securities to the FHLB. Based on the loans and securities pledged at September 30, 2006 we had total borrowing capacity of $258.1 million, of which $243.4 million was outstanding and $14.7 million was available. At September 30, 2006, we also had a $10.0 million unsecured federal funds purchase line with a major bank under which no borrowings were outstanding. In the past, we have used long-term borrowings to fund our loans and to minimize our interest rate risk.

We believe our liquidity sources to be stable and adequate for our anticipated needs and contingencies. However, during the last two years, interest income earned on loans and interest expense paid on deposits were influenced by the flattening of the yield curve. If the yield curve continues to flatten, we may have more difficulty maintaining our deposits. We believe we can adjust the interest rates we pay on our deposits to reduce deposit outflows should they occur. We can also increase our level of borrowings to address our future liquidity needs.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

At September 30, 2006 we had commitments to fund loans of $0.8 million. Time deposits due within one year of September 30, 2006 totaled $261.2 million. We believe the large percentage of time deposits that mature within one year reflects customers’ hesitancy to invest their funds long term when they expect interest rates to rise. 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. 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, 2006 our bank met all the capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.

At September 30, 2006, 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 levels. 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.

Bank of Internet capital amounts, ratios and requirements at September 30, 2006 were as follows:

Capitalized” Under

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 reprice 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, 2006:

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 use the measurement model developed and maintained by our Bank regulators, the Office of Thrift Supervision. At June 30, 2006 (the most recent period for which data is available), we analyzed 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 100 and 200 basis point decreases 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 June 30, 2006:

Up 100 basis points

   $ (5,546 )   (8.00 )%   9.13 %

Base

     —       —       9.72 %

Down 100 basis points

   $ 4,558     6.00 %   10.16 %

Down 200 basis points

   $ 8,471     12.00 %   10.51 %

The board of directors of our bank establishes limits on the amount of interest rate risk we may assume, as estimated by the net present value model for each 100 basis point movement. As of September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, the board’s established minimum was 7.5%, meaning that the net present value after a theoretical instantaneous increase or decrease in interest rates must be greater than 7.5%.

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 is working to document these controls and take other steps required to be in compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes –Oxley Act of 2002 as of June 30, 2008, the Company’s deadline under current implementing rules and regulations.

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 claims 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:

 

    Our limited operating history makes our future prospects and financial performance unpredictable, which may impair our ability to manage our business and your ability to assess our prospects. Our inability to manage our growth could harm our business, particularly growth in our new products such as home equity loans and other types of consumer loans, not secured by real estate.

 

    In a rising interest rate environment, an institution with a negative interest rate sensitivity gap generally would be expected, absent the effects of other factors, to experience a greater increase in its cost of liabilities relative to its yield on assets, and thus a decrease in its net interest income.

 

    We face strong competition for customers and may not succeed in implementing our business strategy.

 

    A natural disaster or recurring energy shortage, especially in California, could harm our business.

 

    Our multifamily residential and commercial real estate loans held for investment 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 frequently purchase loans in bulk or “pools.” We may experience lower yields or losses on loan “pools” because the assumptions we use when purchasing loans in bulk may not always prove correct.

 

    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/A for the year ended June 30, 2006. 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.
