7Significant Accounting Policies

TableOur significant accounting policies are described in greater detail in Note 1 - “Summary of ContentsSignificant Accounting Policies”
As a result of contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the change from adopting Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”Securities and all subsequent amendments that modified ASU 2016-13 (collectively, “ASC 326”) on July 1, 2020,Exchange Commission for the Company updated categorization of the loan portfolio. For comparability purposes, certain reclassifications have been made to the presentation of loan categories as offiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and as of and for the nine months then ended March 31, 2020 to conform with current presentation adopted under ASC 326. The Company reclassified its loan categories to align with the classes adopted for the measurement of credit losses under ASC 326. The reclassification had no impact on the total loan balances or the allowance for credit losses - loans.

Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is a valuation account that offsets the amortized cost basis of loans and net investment in leases. Under ASC 326, amortized cost is the basis on which the ACL is determined. Amortized cost is principal outstanding, net of any purchase premiums and discounts and net of any deferred loan fees and costs.
Credit losses are charged off when the Company believes that collectability of at least some portion of outstanding principal is unlikely. These charge-offs are recorded as a reversal, thereby reducing, the allowance for credit losses. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are recorded as a provision to, thereby increasing, the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level needed to absorb expected credit losses over the contractual life, considering the effects of prepayments, of the loan portfolio as of the reporting date. Determining the adequacy of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by Management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As such, a future assessment of current conditions may require material adjustments to the allowance.
The Company’s process for determining expected life-time credit losses entails a loan-level, model-based approach and requires consideration of a broad range of relevant information relating to historical loss experience, current economic conditions as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts.
A credit loss is estimated for all loans. Consequently, the Company stratifies the full loan population into segments sharing similar characteristics to perform the evaluation of the credit loss collectively.
The Company defines a segment as the level at which the Company develops a systematic methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, the Company can further stratify loans of similar type, risk attributes and methods for monitoring credit risk. The Company categorizes the loan portfolio into six segments: Single Family - Mortgage & Warehouse, Multifamily and Commercial Mortgage, Commercial Real Estate, Commercial & Industrial - Non Real Estate, Auto & Consumer and Other – refer to Note 4 – “Loans & Allowance for Credit Losses” for further detail of the segments and classes within.
The method for estimating expected life-time credit losses includes, among other things, the following main components: 1) The use of a probability of default (“PD”)/loss given default (“LGD”) model; 2) defining a number of economic scenarios across the benign to adverse spectrum; 3) an initial and reasonable forecast period of one year for all loan segments; and 4) a reversion period of 18 months using a linear transition to historical loss rates for each loan pool. After the reversion period, the historical loss rate is applied over the remaining contractual life of loan.
Given the inherent limitations of a solely quantitative model, qualitative adjustments are included to arrive at the ending calculated loss amount in order to account for data points not captured from quantitative inputs alone.
Qualitative criteria we consider includes, among other things, the following:
Regulatory and Legal - matters that may impact the timeliness and/or amounts of repayments;
Concentration - portfolio composition and loan concentration;
Collateral Dependency - changes in collateral values;
Lending/Underwriting Standards - current lending policies and the effects of any new policies;
Nature and Volume - loan production volume and mix;
Loan Trends - credit performance trends, including a borrower’s financial condition and credit rating.

Table of Contents
On a quarterly basis, Management convenes a Credit Review meeting in which current information and trends are collectively assessed to forecast future economic impact for purposes of assessing the adequacy of the ACL. The forecasted direction and magnitude of change with respect to future economic conditions is then assessed against the estimate in the model.
Accrued Interest. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from amortized cost and is presented separately in “Other Assets” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, the Company does not estimate an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable as the Company has a policy to charge off accrued interest deemed uncollectible in a timely manner. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, which occurs when a borrower becomes delinquent by 90 days, interest previously accrued, but not collected, is reversed against current period interest income.
Individually Assessed Loans. Credit loss is estimated for any individual loan on a collective basis, unless an individual loan’s credit characteristics has deteriorated below a range of the overall group, in which case the loan would then be individually assessed. Individually assessed loans are measured for credit loss based on present value of future expected cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs, if the loan is collateral-dependent.
Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. Unrealized credit losses will be recognized through an allowance for credit losses instead of an adjustment to amortized cost basis, eliminating the other-than-temporary impairment concept. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not, that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through earnings. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the above conditions, the Company evaluates at the individual security level whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, Management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost and unfavorable conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recognized for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. All other changes in fair value of the security that have not been recognized through an allowance for credit losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses, if any, are recognized as a provision for (or reversal of) credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes an available-for-sale investment security is uncollectible or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
Loan Commitments. Loans commitments not unconditionally cancellable are subject to an estimate of credit loss under a current expected credit loss model. The Company’s process for determining the estimate of credit loss on loan commitments is the same as it is on loans. Refer to detail of Allowance on Credit Losses above.
New Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Adopted During Fiscal 2021
Financial Instruments. Credit Losses. OnNo new accounting standards have yet been adopted for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326. The update replaces incurred loss models based on the probable recognition threshold with a current expected credit loss model to estimate all credit losses over the contractual life for financial instruments carried at amortized cost and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as loan commitments. The new model requires consideration of a broader range of relevant information, such as historical loss experience, current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The change will generally result in earlier, accelerated loss recognition. For available-for-sale debt securities, unrealized credit losses will be recognized through an allowance for credit losses rather than as adjustment to amortized cost basis, eliminating the other-than-temporary impairment concept. No credit loss adjustment on available-for-sale debt securities resulted upon adoption of ASC 326.
The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective transition method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Prior period amounts are not retroactively adjusted. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date.

2.     ACQUISITIONS
On August 2, 2021 the Company’s subsidiary, Axos Clearing, LLC, acquired certain assets and liabilities of E*TRADE Advisor Services (“EAS”), rebranded Axos Advisor Services (“AAS”), the registered investment advisor custody business of Morgan Stanley. AAS adds incremental fee income, a turnkey technology platform used by independent registered investment advisors for trading and custody services, and low cost deposits that can be used to generate fee income from other bank partners or to fund loan growth at Axos Bank. The initial purchase price of $54.6 million consists entirely of cash consideration paid upon acquisition and is pending final working capital adjustments.
The Company incurred acquisition-related costs totaling $0.04 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. These costs are recognized in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited consolidated statements of income.
The acquisition is accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, tangible and intangible assets acquired (and liabilities assumed) are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The Company allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired based on information available through September 30, 2021. The Company’s accounting for the acquisition has not been finalized as the Company continues to evaluate the working capital adjustment, which is expected to have an immaterial effect on the value of the goodwill recognized. The allocation will be updated, if necessary, through the measurement period, which is no later than one year from the acquisition date.
The preliminary allocation of the $54.6 million purchase price consists of $6.5 million of fair value of tangible assets acquired, $3.4 million of liabilities assumed, $27.1 million of identifiable intangible assets and $24.4 million of goodwill, all of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets with a finite useful are amortized on a straight-line basis. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of consideration exchanged over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. The goodwill includes synergies expected to result from combining the acquired assets and liabilities with existing operations, coupling its custody platform with the Company existing product offerings and leveraging customer relationships through RIAs. The following table summarizes the fair value and useful life of each intangible asset acquired as of the acquisition date:

3.     FAIR VALUE
Fair value is defined 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. ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, 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 following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31,September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.2021. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s residential mortgage-backed securities are projected prepayment rates, probability of default, and projected loss severity in the event of default. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the projected loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for projected prepayment rates.

Table of Contents
The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value are described as follows: Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans and leases or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed rate loans, and leases, deposits, borrowings or subordinated debt and for variable rate loans, and leases, deposits, borrowings or subordinated debt with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. A discussion of the methods of valuing trading securities, available for sale securities and loans held for sale can be found in Note 43 – “Fair Value” of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020.2021. The carrying amount of stock of regulatory agencies approximates the estimated fair value of this investment. The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered material.

On March 31,September 30, 2021, there were 7 securities in a continuous loss position for a period of more than 12 months, and 69 securities in a continuous loss position for a period of less than 12 months. At June 30, 2020,2021, there were 107 securities in a continuous loss position for a period of more than 12 months, and four7 securities in a continuous loss position for a period of less than 12 months.
At March 31,September 30, 2021, 1 non-agency RMBS with a total carrying amount of $3.1$2.8 million was determined to have cumulative credit losses of $0.8 million of which NaNnone was recognized in earnings during the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates at the individual security level whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses, if any, are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale investment security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
During the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, the company sold 0no available-for-sale securities. During the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, the company sold 0no available-for-sale securities.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans based on credit risk. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings.
Pass. Loans classified as pass are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral in a timely manner.
Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
The Company reviews and grades loans following a continuous review process, featuring coverage of all loan types and business lines at least quarterly. Continuous reviewing provides more effective risk monitoring because it immediately tests for potential impacts caused by changes in personnel, policy, products or underwriting standards.

7.    EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
    Earnings per common share (“EPS”) are presented under two formats: basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stock (net income after deducting dividends on preferred stock and preferred stock redemption charge) by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year and the unvested average of participating RSUs. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the sum of net income attributable to common stock and dividends on diluted preferred stock by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year and the impact of dilutive potential common shares, such as nonparticipating RSUs, stock options and convertible preferred stock.
    The unvested stock-based compensation awards issued under the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, have no stockholder rights, meaning they are not entitled to dividends and are considered nonparticipating. The Company does not include these nonparticipating RSUs in the basic EPS calculation but are included in the diluted EPS calculation using the treasury stock method.

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. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
26

Table of Contents
The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
At March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company had commitments to originate $72.7$60.9 million in fixed rate loans and leases and $614.4$1,007.7 million in variable rate loans, totaling an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $687.1$1,068.7 million.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.
In the normal course of business, Axos Clearing’s customer activities involve the execution, settlement, and financing of various customer securities transactions. These activities may expose Axos Clearing to off-balance-sheet risk in the event the customer or other broker is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations and Axos Clearing has to purchase or sell the financial instrument underlying the contract at a loss. Axos Clearing’s clearing agreements with broker-dealers for which it provides clearing services requires them to indemnify Axos Clearing if customers fail to satisfy their contractual obligation.

BofI Holding, Inc., et al, and brought in United States District Court for the Southern District of California (the “Mandalevy Case”). The Mandalevy Case seeks monetary damages and other relief on behalf of a putative class that has not been certified by the Court. The complaint in the Mandalevy Case (the “Mandalevy Complaint”) alleges a class period that differs from that alleged in the First Class Action, and that the Company and other named defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by failing to disclose wrongful conduct that was alleged in a March 2017 media article. The Mandalevy Case has not been consolidated into the First Class Action. On December 7, 2018, the Court entered a final order granting the defendants’ motion and dismissing the Mandalevy Case with prejudice. Subsequently, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal and the Court took the matter under advisement. On November 3, 2020, the Court issued a ruling affirming in part and reversing in part the District Court's Order dismissing the Class Action Second Amended Complaint. The defendants filed a petition for rehearing en banc on November 17, 2020, which petition was denied on December 16, 2020. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the remanded complaint on February 19, 2021.
The Company and the other named defendants dispute the allegations of wrongdoing advanced by the plaintiffs in the Class Action, the Mandalevy Case, and in the Employment Matter, as well as those plaintiffs’ statement of the underlying factual circumstances, and are vigorously defending each case.
In addition to the First Class Action and the Mandalevy Case, 2 separate shareholder derivative actions were filed in December, 2015, purportedly on behalf of the Company. The first derivative action, Calcaterra v. Garrabrants, et al, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on December 3, 2015. The second derivative action, Dow v. Micheletti, et al, was filed in the San Diego County Superior Court on December 16, 2015. A third derivative action, DeYoung v. Garrabrants, et al, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on January 22, 2016, a fourth derivative action, Yong v. Garrabrants, et al, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on January 29, 2016, a fifth derivative action, Laborers Pension Trust Fund of Northern Nevada v. Allrich et al, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on February 2, 2016, and a sixth derivative action, Garner v. Garrabrants, et al, was filed in the San Diego County Superior Court on August 10, 2017. Each of these 6 derivative actions names the Company as a nominal defendant, and certain of its officers and directors as defendants. Each complaint sets forth allegations of breaches of fiduciary duties, gross mismanagement, abuse of control, and unjust enrichment against the defendant officers and directors. The plaintiffs in these derivative actions seek damages in unspecified amounts on the Company’s behalf from the officer and director defendants, certain corporate governance actions, and an award of their costs and attorney’s fees.
The United States District Court for the Southern District of California ordered the 4 above-referenced derivative actions pending before it to be consolidated and appointed lead counsel in the consolidated action. On June 7, 2018, the Court entered an order granting defendant’s motion for judgment on the pleadings, but giving the plaintiffs limited leave to amend by June 28, 2018. The plaintiffs failed to file an amended complaint, and instead plaintiffs filed on June 28, 2018 a motion to stay the case pending resolution of the securities class action and Employment Matter. On August 10, 2018, defendants filed an opposition to plaintiffs’ motion. On September 11, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. On October 16, 2018, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. On October 16, 2018, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. The Court dismissed the second amended complaint with prejudice on May 23, 2019. Subsequently, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal and opening brief and the Company filed its answering brief. Oral argument was held September 2, 2020 and the Court took the matter under advisement.

The 2 derivative actions pending before the San Diego County Superior Court have been consolidated and have been stayed by agreement of the parties.
In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of each legal action, particularly since claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, it is not possible to reasonably predict or estimate the eventual loss or range of loss, if any, related to each legal action.
9.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has granted related party loans collateralized by real property to certain executive officers, directors and their affiliates.

Segment Information
The Company determines reportable segments based on what separate financial information is available and what segment results are evaluated regularly by the Chief Executive Officer in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. We operate through two segments: Banking Business and Securities Business.
Banking Business. The Banking Business includes a broad range of banking services including online banking, concierge banking, prepaid card services, and mortgage, vehicle and unsecured lending through online and telephonic distribution channels to serve the needs of consumer and small businesses nationally. Our deposit products consist of demand, savings, money market and time deposit accounts. In addition, the Banking Business focuses on providing deposit products nationwide to industry verticals (e.g., Title and Escrow), cash management products to a variety of businesses, and commercial & industrial and commercial real estate lending to clients. The Banking Business also includes a bankruptcy trustee and fiduciary service that provides specialized software and consulting services to Chapter 7 bankruptcy and non-Chapter 7 trustees and fiduciaries.
We distribute our loan products through our retail, correspondent and wholesale channels, and the loans we retain are primarily first mortgages secured by single family real property and by multifamily real property as well as commercial & industrial loans to businesses. Our investment securities consist of agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, municipal securities and other non-agency debt securities. We believe our flexibility to adjust our asset generation channels has been a competitive advantage allowing us to avoid markets and products where credit fundamentals are poor or risks and rewards are not sufficient to support our required return on equity.
Securities Business. The Securities Business consistsincludes the Clearing Broker-Dealer, Registered Investment Advisor custody business, Registered Investment Advisor, and Introducing Broker-Dealer lines of two setsbusinesses. These lines of business offer products independently to their own customers as well as to Banking Business clients. The products offered by the lines of business in the Securities Business primarily generate net interest income and services, securities services provided to third-party securities firms and investment management provided to consumers.non-banking service fee income.

Securities lending activities include borrowing and lending securities with other broker-dealers. These activities involve borrowing securities to cover short sales and to complete transactions in which clients have failed to deliver securities by the required settlement date, and lending securities to other broker dealers for similar purposes.
Investment managementThrough the RIA custody business, we provide a proprietary, turnkey technology platform for custody services for our RIA customers. This platform provides fee income and service that complement our securities business products, while also generating low cost core deposits.
Axos Invest includes our digital wealth management business, which provides our retail customers with self-directed trading and investment management services through a comprehensive and flexible technology platform.
Segment results are compiled based upon the management reporting system, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each of the business segments. The process is designed around the organizational and management structure and, accordingly, the results derived are not necessarily comparable with similar information published by other financial institutions or in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on profit or loss from operations. There are no material inter-segment sales or transfers. Certain corporate administration costs and income taxes have not been allocated to the reportable segments. Therefore, in order to reconcile the two segments to the unaudited condensed consolidated totals, we include parent-only activities and intercompany eliminations.

Mergers and Acquisitions
From time to time we undertake acquisitions or similar transactions consistent with our Company’s operating and growth strategies.
On April 20,August 2, 2021 we announced that we signed a definitive agreement to acquireAxos Clearing, LLC, acquired certain assets and liabilities of E*TRADE Advisor Services (“EAS”), rebranded Axos Advisors Services (“AAS”), the registered investment advisor custody business of Morgan Stanley acquired in its acquisition of E*TRADE Financial Corporation in 2020.Stanley. AAS adds incremental fee income, a turnkey technology platform used by independent registered investment advisors for trading and custody services, and low-cost deposits that can be used to generate fee income from other bank partners or to fund loan growth at Axos Bank. The $55 million cashinitial purchase price of $54.6 million consists entirely of cash consideration paid upon acquisition and is pending final working capital adjustments.
The acquisition is accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, tangible and intangible assets acquired (and liabilities assumed) are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The Company allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired based on information available through September 30, 2021. The Company’s accounting for the acquisition has not been finalized as the Company continues to evaluate the working capital adjustment, which is expected to have an immaterial effect on the value of the goodwill recognized. The allocation will be funded with existing capital at Axos Financial, Inc. We expect this transaction to close inupdated, if necessary, through the third calendar quarter of 2021. Following closing, this transaction will materially increase our non-interest income and non-interest expense formeasurement period, which is no later than one year from the Securities Business segment.acquisition date.
Critical Accounting Policies
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the unaudited condensed 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.
Except as discussed below, there have been no changes to ourOur significant accounting policies and practices asare described in greater detail in Note 1 to our June 30, 2020 audited consolidated financial statements- “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” 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 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
Allowance for Credit Losses. On July 1, 2020, we adopted ASC 326. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level needed to absorb expected credit losses over the contractual life, considering the effects of prepayments, of the loan portfolio as of the reporting date. Determining the adequacy of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by our management team about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As such, a future assessment of current conditions may require material adjustments to the allowance.2021.
Our process for determining expected life-time credit losses entails a loan-level, model-based approach and requires consideration of a broad range of relevant information relating to historical loss experience, current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
A credit loss is estimated for all loans. Consequently, we stratify the full loan population into segments sharing similar characteristics to perform the evaluation of the credit loss collectively.
We define a segment as the level at which we develop a systematic methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, we can further stratify loans of similar type, risk attributes and methods for monitoring credit risk. We categorize the loan portfolio into six segments: Single Family - Mortgage & Warehouse, Multifamily and Commercial Mortgage, Commercial Real Estate, Commercial & Industrial - Non Real Estate, Auto & Consumer and Other – refer to Note 4 – “Loans & Allowance for Credit Losses” for further detail of the segments and classes within.

The method for estimating expected life-time credit losses includes, among other things, the following main components: 1) The use of a probability of default (“PD”)/loss given default (“LGD”) model; 2) defining a number of economic scenarios across the benign to adverse spectrum; 3) an initial and reasonable forecast period of one year for all loan segments; and 4) a reversion period of 18 months using a linear transition to historical loss rates for each loan pool. After the reversion period, the historical loss rate is applied over the remaining contractual life of loan.

Given the inherent limitations of a solely quantitative model, qualitative adjustments are included to arrive at the ending calculated loss amount in order to account for data points not captured from quantitative inputs alone.

Qualitative criteria we consider includes, among other things, the following:
Regulatory and Legal - matters that may impact the timeliness and/or amounts of repayments;
Concentration - portfolio composition and loan concentration;
Collateral Dependency - changes in collateral values;
Lending/Underwriting Standards - current lending policies and the effects of any new policies;
Nature and Volume - loan production volume and mix;
Loan Trends - credit performance trends, including a borrower’s financial condition and credit rating.

Table of Contents

On a quarterly basis, our management team convenes a Credit Review meeting in which current information and trends are collectively assessed to forecast future economic impact for purposes of assessing the adequacy of the ACL. The forecasted direction and magnitude of change with respect to future economic conditions is then assessed against the estimate in the model.

For further information on the Allowance for Credit Losses, refer to Note 1 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this report includes non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per common share, and tangible book value per common share. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious as to their reliance on such measures. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this report enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for GAAP basis financial measures.
We define “adjusted earnings”, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income without the after-tax impact of non-recurring acquisition-related costs (including amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions), and other costs (unusual or non-recurring charges). Adjusted earnings per diluted common share (“adjusted EPS”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing non-GAAP adjusted earnings by the average number of diluted common shares outstanding during the period. We believe the non-GAAP measures of adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS provide useful information about the Bank’s operating performance. We believe excluding the non-recurring acquisition related costs, and other costs provides investors with an alternative understanding of Axos’ business without these non-recurring costs.

    We define “tangible book value”, a non-GAAP financial measure, as book value adjusted for goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value is calculated using common stockholders’ equity minus mortgage servicing rights, goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing tangible book value by the common shares outstanding at the end of the period. We believe tangible book value per common share is useful in evaluating the Company’s capital strength, financial condition, and ability to manage potential losses.

The provision for credit losses was $2.7$4.0 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 compared to $28.5$11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The provision for credit losses was $22.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $35.7 million for the nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020. The decrease in the provision was primarily due to a $6.5 million additional reserve for non-recurring Refund Advance loans for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared toSeptember 30, 2020, and favorable changes in economic and business conditions resulting from the provisionreduced levels of COVID-19 infections between September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2021.

The decreasechanges in the provision for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the provision for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 was due to the decreaseloan mix in provisions associated with non-recurring Refund Advance loans, macroeconomic updates relating to COVID-19 and a change in the provision for credit losses methodology from the incurred loss model to a current expected credit loss model as described under “Critical Accounting Policies.”this loan portfolio segment. Provisions for credit losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for credit losses - loans to a level deemed appropriate by management based on the factors discussed under “Financial Condition—Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans.” On July 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326, adding approximately $53.0 million to the allowance for credit losses. The increase was primarily related to two factors:
The difference between loss emergence periods previously utilized, as compared to estimating lifetime credit losses as required by ASC 326.
The lifetime impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s loan and lease portfolio, or more specifically the impact on macroeconomic factors across the loan and lease portfolio, with the largest impacts shown in hospitality and retail real estate loans.

Non-interest income increased $14.2 million to $88.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily the result of an increase of $31.3 million in mortgage banking driven by the decline of mortgage rates to record lows over the year and and an increase of $2.4 million in broker-dealer fee income, partially offset by a decrease of $13.3 million in banking and service fees, primarily from Emerald Prepaid Mastercard® and Refund Transfer products associated with H&R Block that did not recur in the nine months ended March 31, 2021, and a decrease of $5.7 million in gain on sale-other, as certain sales of lottery receivables and sales of Emerald Advance loans to H&R Block in the nine months ended March 31, 2020 did not recur in the nine months ended March 31, 2021.
Included in gain on sale – other are sales of unsecured and secured consumer and business loans originated through introductions from our third-party partner relationships and sales of structured settlement annuity and state lottery receivables. We engage in the wholesale and retail purchase of state lottery prize and structured settlement annuity payments. These payments are high credit quality deferred payment receivables having a state lottery commission or investment grade (top two tiers) insurance company payor. The Bank originates contracts for the retail purchase of such payments and classifies these under the category of
Other in the loan portfolio. Factoring yields are typically higher than mortgage loan rates. Typically, the gain received upon sale of these payment streams is greater than the gain received from an equivalent amount of mortgage loan sales. Since 2013, pools of structured settlement receivables have been originated for sale depending upon management’s assessment of interest rate risk, liquidity, and offers containing favorable terms and are classified on our balance sheet as loans held for sale. Increased sales on favorable terms during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 resulted in an increase in gain on sale from structured settlement annuity and state lottery receivables. Such sales did not recur to the same degree for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021.

The provision for credit losses was $2.7 million and $28.5$4.0 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The provision for credit losses was $22.5 million and $35.7compared to $11.8 million for the ninethree months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.September 30, 2020. The decrease in the provision was primarily due to a $6.5 million additional reserve for non-recurring Refund Advance loans for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and favorable changes in economic and business conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic between September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2021. Provisions for credit losses for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 were primarily comprised of provisions in commercial real estate and consumer and auto due to growth in these segments of the loan portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in provisions associated with Refund Advance loans due to the terminationfor commercial and industrial - non-RE as a result of our relationship with H&R Block and macroeconomic updates relating to COVID-19.changes in loan mix in this loan portfolio segment. We believe that the lower average LTV in the Bank’s mortgage loan portfolio will continue to result in future lower average mortgage loan charge-offs when compared to many other comparable banks. The resolution of the Bank’s existing other real estate owned and non-performing loans should not have a significant adverse impact on our operating results.
Investment Securities
Total investment securities were $219.2$137.9 million as of March 31,September 30, 2021, compared with $187.7$189.3 million at June 30, 2020.2021. During the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, we purchased securities for $66.6$7.0 million, and received principal repayments of approximately $57.5$57.8 million in our available-for-sale portfolio. The remainder of the change for the available-for-sale portfolio is attributable to accretion and other activities.

Subsequently, the plaintiff appealed, the Court overturned the dismissal and the Company is preparing a petition for a rehearing.

On April 3, 2017, the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer were named defendants in a putative class action lawsuit styled Mandalevy v. BofI Holding, Inc., et al, and brought in United States District Court for the Southern District of California (the “Mandalevy Case”). The Mandalevy Case seeks monetary damages and other relief on behalf of a putative class that has not been certified by the Court. The complaint in the Mandalevy Case (the “Mandalevy Complaint”) alleges a class period that differs from that alleged in the First Class Action, and that the Company and other named defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by failing to disclose wrongful conduct that was alleged in a March 2017 media article. The Mandalevy Case has not been consolidated into the First Class Action. On December 7, 2018, the Court entered a final order granting the defendants’ motion and dismissing the Mandalevy Case with prejudice. Subsequently, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal and the Court took the matter under advisement. On November 3, 2020, the Court issued a ruling affirming in part and reversing in part the District Court's Order dismissing the Class Action Second Amended Complaint.
The Company and the other named defendants dispute the allegations of wrongdoing advanced by the plaintiffs in the Class Action, the Mandalevy Case, and in the Employment Matter, as well as those plaintiffs’ statement of the underlying factual circumstances, and are vigorously defending each case.
In addition to the First Class Action and the Mandalevy Case, two separate shareholder derivative actions were filed in December, 2015, purportedly on behalf of the Company. The first derivative action, Calcaterra v. Garrabrants, et al, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on December 3, 2015. The second derivative action, Dow v. Micheletti, et al, was filed in the San Diego County Superior Court on December 16, 2015. A third derivative action, DeYoung v. Garrabrants, et al, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on January 22, 2016, a fourth derivative action, Yong v. Garrabrants, et al, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on January 29, 2016, a fifth derivative action, Laborers Pension Trust Fund of Northern Nevada v. Allrich et al, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on February 2, 2016, and a sixth derivative action, Garner v. Garrabrants, et al, was filed in the San Diego County Superior Court on August 10, 2017. Each of these six derivative actions names the Company as a nominal defendant, and certain of its officers and directors as defendants. Each complaint sets forth allegations of breaches of fiduciary duties, gross mismanagement, abuse of control, and unjust enrichment against the defendant officers and directors. The plaintiffs in these derivative actions seek damages in unspecified amounts on the Company’s behalf from the officer and director defendants, certain corporate governance actions, and an award of their costs and attorney’s fees.
The United States District Court for the Southern District of California ordered the four above-referenced derivative actions pending before it to be consolidated and appointed lead counsel in the consolidated action. On June 7, 2018, the Court entered an order granting defendant’s motion for judgment on the pleadings, but giving the plaintiffs limited leave to amend by June 28, 2018. The plaintiffs failed to file an amended complaint, and instead plaintiffs filed on June 28, 2018 a motion to stay the case pending resolution of the securities class action and Employment Matter. On August 10, 2018, defendants filed an opposition to plaintiffs’ motion. On September 11, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. On October 16, 2018, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. On October 16, 2018, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. The Court dismissed the second amended complaint with prejudice on May 23, 2019. Subsequently, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal and opening brief and the Company filed its answering brief. Oral argument was held September 2, 2020 and the Court took the matter under advisement.
The two derivative actions pending before the San Diego County Superior Court have been consolidated and have been stayed by agreement of the parties.
In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of each legal action, particularly since claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, it is not possible to reasonably predict or estimate the eventual loss or range of loss, if any, related to each legal action.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND REQUIREMENTSSecurities Business
Our Company and Bank are subject to regulatory capital adequacy requirements promulgated by federal bank regulatory agencies. Failure by our Company or 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Federal Reserve establishes capital requirements for our Company andFor the OCC has similar requirements for our Bank. The following tables present regulatory capital information for our Company and Bank. Information presented for March 31, 2021, reflects the Basel III capital requirements that became effective January 1, 2015 for both our Company and Bank. Under these capital requirements and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, our Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our Company and Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation require our Company and Bank to maintain certain minimum capital amounts and ratios. Federal bank regulators require our Company and Bank maintain minimum ratios of core capital to adjusted average assets of 4.0%, common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0% and total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%. To be “well capitalized,” our Company and Bank must maintain minimum leverage, common equity tier 1 risk-based, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 5.0%, 6.5%, 8.0% and 10.0%, respectively. At March 31,three months ended September 30, 2021, our CompanySecurities Business segment had income before taxes of $9.0 thousand compared to a loss before taxes of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021, increased $1.3 million to $6.2 million compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily as a result of increase in the average interest-earning balance of securities borrowed and Bank met allmargin lending. In the capital adequacy requirements to which they were subjectSecurities Business, interest is earned through margin loan balances, securities borrowed, and were “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred since March 31, 2021 that would materially adversely change the Company’scash deposit balances. Interest expense is incurred from cash borrowed through bank lines and Bank’s capital classifications. From time to time, we may need to raise additional capital to support our Company’s and Bank’s further growth and to maintain their “well capitalized” status.securities lending.
The Company and Bank elected the CECL 5-year transition guidance for calculating regulatory capital ratios and the March 31, 2021 ratios include this election. This guidance allows an entity to add back to capital 100% of the capital impact from the day one CECL transition adjustment and 25% of subsequent increases to the allowance for credit losses through June 30, 2023. This cumulative amount will then be phased out of regulatory capital over the next three years.

Basel III implemented a requirement for all banking organizations to maintain a capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The capital conservation buffer is exclusively composed of common equity tier 1 capital, and it applies to each ofnon-interest income during the three risk-based capital ratios but notmonths ended September 30, 2021, was $13.1 million compared to $5.8 million for the leverage ratio.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Balance Sheet Analysis
Our total assets increased $0.6 billion, or 4.5%, to $14.9 billion, as of September 30, 2021, up from $14.3 billion at June 30, 2021. The increase in total assets was primarily due to an increase of $464.2 million in loans. Total liabilities increased $0.6 billion, primarily from an increase in deposits of $931.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in securities loaned of $189.5 million.
Loans
Net loans held for investment increased 4.1% to $11.9 billion at September 30, 2021 from $11.4 billion at June 30, 2021. The increase in the loan portfolio was primarily due to loan originations of $2.1 billion, partially offset by loan repayments and other adjustments of $1.6 billion.

The Bank originates some single family interest only loans with terms that include repayments that are less than the repayments for fully amortizing loans. The Bank’s lending guidelines for interest only loans are adjusted for the increased credit risk associated with these loans by requiring borrowers with such loans to borrow at LTVs that are lower than standard amortizing ARM loans and by calculating debt to income ratios for qualifying borrowers based upon a fully amortizing payment, not the interest only payment. The Bank monitors and performs reviews of interest only loans. Adverse trends reflected in the Company’s delinquency statistics, grading and classification of interest only loans would be reported to management and the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $1,076.9 million of interest only mortgage loans.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
Non-performing Assets
Non-performing loans are comprised of loans past due 90 days or more on nonaccrual status and other nonaccrual loans. Non-performing assets include non-performing loans plus other real estate owned and repossessed vehicles. At September 30, 2021, our non-performing loans totaled $134.1 million, or 1.12% of total gross loans and our total non-performing assets totaled $140.5 million, or 0.94% of total assets.
Non-performing loans and foreclosed assets or “non-performing assets” consisted of the following as of the dates indicated:

Total non-performing assets decreased from $152.0 million at June 30, 2021 to $140.5 million at September 30, 2021. The decrease in non-performing assets is primarily attributable to resolutions in multifamily and commercial mortgage loans. The Company ended forbearance for all single family mortgage borrowers during the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The weighted average LTV of the non-performing single family mortgage loans is 51.3%.
The Bank had no performing troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021. A troubled debt restructuring is a concession made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties, typically permanent or temporary modifications of principal and interest payments or an extension of maturity dates. When a loan is delinquent and classified as a troubled debt restructuring no interest is accrued until the borrower demonstrates over time (typically six months) that it can make payments. When a loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring and is on nonaccrual, it is considered non-performing and included in the table above.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
On July 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326. The update replaces the historical incurred loss model to a current expected loss model, resulting generally, in earlier recognition of loss. Refer to Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 for further detail on the accounting adoption along with detail of the processes and approaches involved in determining the allowance for credit losses under the new guidance.

The provision for credit losses was $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $11.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in the provision was primarily due to a $6.5 million additional reserve for non-recurring Refund Advance loans for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and favorable changes in economic and business conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic between September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2021. Provisions for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily comprised of provisions in commercial real estate and consumer and auto due to growth in these segments of the loan portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in provisions for commercial and industrial - non-RE as a result of changes in loan mix in this loan portfolio segment. We believe that the lower average LTV in the Bank’s mortgage loan portfolio will continue to result in future lower average mortgage loan charge-offs when compared to many other comparable banks. The resolution of the Bank’s existing other real estate owned and non-performing loans should not have a significant adverse impact on our operating results.
Investment Securities
Total investment securities were $137.9 million as of September 30, 2021, compared with $189.3 million at June 30, 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we purchased securities for $7.0 million, and received principal repayments of approximately $57.8 million in our available-for-sale portfolio. The remainder of the change for the available-for-sale portfolio is attributable to accretion and other activities.
Deposits
Deposits increased by $931.6 million, or 8.6%, to $11,747.4 million at September 30, 2021, from $10,815.8 million at June 30, 2021. Interest bearing deposits decreased $94.1 million and time deposits decreased $132.4 million as higher costing deposits were run off. Non-interest bearing deposits increased $1,158.1 million, or 46.8%, to $3,632.5 million at September 30, 2021, from $2,474.4 million at June 30, 2021, primarily due to deposits provided by the AAS acquisition.

The decrease in the number of accounts is the result of the termination of our third-party prepaid card relationships, such as H&R Block, due to the reduction of our interchange fees effective July 1, 2020 as a result of the Durbin Amendment.

We regularly use advances from the FHLB 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 origination of loans and to provide us with interest rate risk protection should rates rise.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity increased $57.7 million to $1,458.6 million at September 30, 2021 compared to $1,400.9 million at June 30, 2021. The increase was the result of our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 of $60.2 million, partially offset by stock compensation expense and restricted stock units vesting which combined for a decrease of $2.0 million and a $0.5 million decrease in other comprehensive income, net of tax.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any common stock shares. The Company has $52.8 million remaining under the Board authorized stock repurchase program.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net cash outflows from operating activities of $133.4 million compared to inflows of $66.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to net income for each period. Net operating cash inflows and outflows fluctuate primarily due to the timing of the following: originations of loans held for sale, proceeds from loan sales, securities borrowed and loaned, and customer, broker-dealer and clearing receivables and payables, and changes in other assets and payables were the primary drivers.
Net cash outflows from investing activities totaled $398.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, while outflows totaled $316.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in outflows was primarily due to increased originations of loans partially offset by increased repayments on loans and the $54.6 million acquisition of AAS.
Net cash inflows from financing activities totaled $764.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net cash outflows from financing activities of $578.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The primary driver behind the increase in net cash inflows was increased deposits provided by the acquisition of AAS for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, 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. At September 30, 2021, the Company had $1,709.3 million available immediately and $3,388.7 million available with additional collateral. At September 30, 2021, we also had two unsecured federal funds purchase lines with two different banks totaling $175.0 million, under which no borrowings were outstanding.
The Bank has the ability to borrow short-term from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Discount Window. At September 30, 2021, the Bank did not have any borrowings outstanding and the amount available from this source was $2,024.3 million. The credit line is collateralized by consumer loans and mortgage-backed securities.
Axos Clearing has a total of $99.4 million uncommitted secured lines of credit available for borrowing as needed. As of September 30, 2021, there was $70.6 million outstanding. These credit facilities bear interest at rates based on the Federal Funds rate and are due upon demand.
Axos Clearing has a $50 million committed unsecured line of credit available for limited purpose borrowing. As of September 30, 2021, there was $0 million outstanding. This credit facility bears interest at rates based on the Federal Funds rate and are due upon demand.
We believe our liquidity sources to be stable and adequate for our anticipated needs and contingencies for the next 12 months and beyond. We believe we have the ability to increase our level of deposits and borrowings to address our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS
At September 30, 2021, we had commitments to originate loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $1,068.7 million, and commitments to sell loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $56.1 million. We have no commitments to purchase loans, investment securities or any other unused lines of credit.
In the normal course of business, Axos Clearing’s customer activities involve the execution, settlement, and financing of various customer securities transactions. These activities may expose Axos Clearing to off-balance-sheet risk in the event the customer or other broker is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations and Axos Clearing has to purchase or sell the financial instrument underlying the contract at a loss. Axos Clearing’s clearing agreements with broker-dealers for which it provides clearing services requires them to indemnify Axos Clearing if customers fail to satisfy their contractual obligation.

Securities Business
Pursuant to the net capital requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Axos Clearing, is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital (Rule 15c3-1 of the Exchange Act). Under this rule, the Company has elected to operate under the alternate method and is required to maintain minimum net capital of $250,000 or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from client transactions, as defined. Under the alternate method, the Company may not repay subordinated debt, pay cash distributions, or make any unsecured advances or loans to its parent or employees if such payment would result in net capital of less than 5% of aggregate debit balances or less than 120% of its minimum dollar requirement.
The net capital positions of Axos Clearing were as follows:

Axos Clearing as a clearing broker, is subject to SEC Customer Protection Rule (Rule 15c3-3 of the Exchange Act) which requires segregation of funds in a special reserve account for the benefit of customers. At March 31, 2021, the Company had a deposit requirement of $238.0 million and maintained a deposit of $253.6 million. On April 1, 2021, the company made a withdrawal of $11.6 million.
Certain broker-dealers have chosen to maintain brokerage customer accounts at Axos Clearing. To allow these broker-dealers to classify their assets held by the Company as allowable assets in their computation of net capital, the Company computes a separate reserve requirement for Proprietary Accounts of Brokers (PAB). At March 31, 2021, the Company had a deposit requirement of $41.7 million and maintained a deposit of $41.3 million. On April 1, 2021, the Company made a deposit in the amount of $1.0 million.
Acquisition. On April 20, 2021, the Company announced that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire certain assets and liabilities of E*TRADE Advisor Services, the registered investment advisor custody business Morgan Stanley acquired in its acquisition of E*TRADE Financial Corporation in 2020. The $55 million cash purchase price will be funded with existing capital at Axos Financial, Inc. We expect this transaction to close in the third calendar quarter of 2021. Following closing, this transaction will materially increase our non-interest income and non-interest expense for the Securities Business segment.
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 cause 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 reprice at a faster rate than one with a negative gap, which would tend to reduce the growth in its net interest income.

The above table provides an approximation of the projected re-pricing of assets and liabilities at March 31, 2021 on the basis of contractual maturities, adjusted for anticipated prepayments of principal and scheduled rate adjustments. The loan and securities prepayment rates reflected herein are based on historical experience. For the non-maturity deposit liabilities, we use decay rates and rate adjustments based upon our historical experience. Actual repayments of these instruments could vary substantially if future experience differs from our historic experience.
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.

The following table indicates the sensitivity of net interest income movements to parallel instantaneous shocks in interest rates for the future 1-12 months and 13-24 months’ time periods.

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 falling interest rate scenarios, we used a 100 basis point decrease due to limitations inherent in the current rate environment.

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. Those actions include, but are not limited to, making change in loan and deposit interest rates and changes in our asset and liability mix.
Securities Business
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, our Securities Business segment had income before taxes of $9.0 thousand compared to a loss before taxes of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021, increased $1.3 million to $6.2 million compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily as a result of increase in the average interest-earning balance of securities borrowed and margin lending. In the Securities Business, interest is earned through margin loan balances, securities borrowed, and cash deposit balances. Interest expense is incurred from cash borrowed through bank lines and securities lending.
The non-interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2021, was $13.1 million compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase of $7.3 million is the result of an increase of $5.3 million

Non-interest expense increased $7.9 million to $19.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from the $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily related to an increase of $4.4 million in salaries and related expenses related to staffing and the acquisition of AAS, an increase of $1.7 million in broker-dealer clearing charges, an increase of $0.6 million in occupancy and equipment expense, and an increase of $0.4 million depreciation and amortization expense.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Balance Sheet Analysis
Our total assets increased $0.6 billion, or 4.5%, to $14.9 billion, as of September 30, 2021, up from $14.3 billion at June 30, 2021. The increase in total assets was primarily due to an increase of $464.2 million in loans. Total liabilities increased $0.6 billion, primarily from an increase in deposits of $931.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in securities loaned of $189.5 million.
Loans
Net loans held for investment increased 4.1% to $11.9 billion at September 30, 2021 from $11.4 billion at June 30, 2021. The increase in the loan portfolio was primarily due to loan originations of $2.1 billion, partially offset by loan repayments and other adjustments of $1.6 billion.

The Bank originates some single family interest only loans with terms that include repayments that are less than the repayments for fully amortizing loans. The Bank’s lending guidelines for interest only loans are adjusted for the increased credit risk associated with these loans by requiring borrowers with such loans to borrow at LTVs that are lower than standard amortizing ARM loans and by calculating debt to income ratios for qualifying borrowers based upon a fully amortizing payment, not the interest only payment. The Bank monitors and performs reviews of interest only loans. Adverse trends reflected in the Company’s delinquency statistics, grading and classification of interest only loans would be reported to management and the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $1,076.9 million of interest only mortgage loans.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
Non-performing Assets
Non-performing loans are comprised of loans past due 90 days or more on nonaccrual status and other nonaccrual loans. Non-performing assets include non-performing loans plus other real estate owned and repossessed vehicles. At September 30, 2021, our non-performing loans totaled $134.1 million, or 1.12% of total gross loans and our total non-performing assets totaled $140.5 million, or 0.94% of total assets.
Non-performing loans and foreclosed assets or “non-performing assets” consisted of the following as of the dates indicated:

Total non-performing assets decreased from $152.0 million at June 30, 2021 to $140.5 million at September 30, 2021. The decrease in non-performing assets is primarily attributable to resolutions in multifamily and commercial mortgage loans. The Company ended forbearance for all single family mortgage borrowers during the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The weighted average LTV of the non-performing single family mortgage loans is 51.3%.
The Bank had no performing troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021. A troubled debt restructuring is a concession made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties, typically permanent or temporary modifications of principal and interest payments or an extension of maturity dates. When a loan is delinquent and classified as a troubled debt restructuring no interest is accrued until the borrower demonstrates over time (typically six months) that it can make payments. When a loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring and is on nonaccrual, it is considered non-performing and included in the table above.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
On July 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326. The update replaces the historical incurred loss model to a current expected loss model, resulting generally, in earlier recognition of loss. Refer to Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 for further detail on the accounting adoption along with detail of the processes and approaches involved in determining the allowance for credit losses under the new guidance.

The provision for credit losses was $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $11.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in the provision was primarily due to a $6.5 million additional reserve for non-recurring Refund Advance loans for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and favorable changes in economic and business conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic between September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2021. Provisions for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily comprised of provisions in commercial real estate and consumer and auto due to growth in these segments of the loan portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in provisions for commercial and industrial - non-RE as a result of changes in loan mix in this loan portfolio segment. We believe that the lower average LTV in the Bank’s mortgage loan portfolio will continue to result in future lower average mortgage loan charge-offs when compared to many other comparable banks. The resolution of the Bank’s existing other real estate owned and non-performing loans should not have a significant adverse impact on our operating results.
Investment Securities
Total investment securities were $137.9 million as of September 30, 2021, compared with $189.3 million at June 30, 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we purchased securities for $7.0 million, and received principal repayments of approximately $57.8 million in our available-for-sale portfolio. The remainder of the change for the available-for-sale portfolio is attributable to accretion and other activities.
Deposits
Deposits increased by $931.6 million, or 8.6%, to $11,747.4 million at September 30, 2021, from $10,815.8 million at June 30, 2021. Interest bearing deposits decreased $94.1 million and time deposits decreased $132.4 million as higher costing deposits were run off. Non-interest bearing deposits increased $1,158.1 million, or 46.8%, to $3,632.5 million at September 30, 2021, from $2,474.4 million at June 30, 2021, primarily due to deposits provided by the AAS acquisition.

We regularly use advances from the FHLB 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 origination of loans and to provide us with interest rate risk protection should rates rise.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity increased $57.7 million to $1,458.6 million at September 30, 2021 compared to $1,400.9 million at June 30, 2021. The increase was the result of our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 of $60.2 million, partially offset by stock compensation expense and restricted stock units vesting which combined for a decrease of $2.0 million and a $0.5 million decrease in other comprehensive income, net of tax.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any common stock shares. The Company has $52.8 million remaining under the Board authorized stock repurchase program.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net cash outflows from operating activities of $133.4 million compared to inflows of $66.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to net income for each period. Net operating cash inflows and outflows fluctuate primarily due to the timing of the following: originations of loans held for sale, proceeds from loan sales, securities borrowed and loaned, and customer, broker-dealer and clearing receivables and payables, and changes in other assets and payables were the primary drivers.
Net cash outflows from investing activities totaled $398.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, while outflows totaled $316.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in outflows was primarily due to increased originations of loans partially offset by increased repayments on loans and the $54.6 million acquisition of AAS.
Net cash inflows from financing activities totaled $764.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net cash outflows from financing activities of $578.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The primary driver behind the increase in net cash inflows was increased deposits provided by the acquisition of AAS for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, 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. At September 30, 2021, the Company had $1,709.3 million available immediately and $3,388.7 million available with additional collateral. At September 30, 2021, we also had two unsecured federal funds purchase lines with two different banks totaling $175.0 million, under which no borrowings were outstanding.
The Bank has the ability to borrow short-term from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Discount Window. At September 30, 2021, the Bank did not have any borrowings outstanding and the amount available from this source was $2,024.3 million. The credit line is collateralized by consumer loans and mortgage-backed securities.
Axos Clearing has a total of $99.4 million uncommitted secured lines of credit available for borrowing as needed. As of September 30, 2021, there was $70.6 million outstanding. These credit facilities bear interest at rates based on the Federal Funds rate and are due upon demand.
Axos Clearing has a $50 million committed unsecured line of credit available for limited purpose borrowing. As of September 30, 2021, there was $0 million outstanding. This credit facility bears interest at rates based on the Federal Funds rate and are due upon demand.
We believe our liquidity sources to be stable and adequate for our anticipated needs and contingencies for the next 12 months and beyond. We believe we have the ability to increase our level of deposits and borrowings to address our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS
At September 30, 2021, we had commitments to originate loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $1,068.7 million, and commitments to sell loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $56.1 million. We have no commitments to purchase loans, investment securities or any other unused lines of credit.
In the normal course of business, Axos Clearing’s customer activities involve the execution, settlement, and financing of various customer securities transactions. These activities may expose Axos Clearing to off-balance-sheet risk in the event the customer or other broker is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations and Axos Clearing has to purchase or sell the financial instrument underlying the contract at a loss. Axos Clearing’s clearing agreements with broker-dealers for which it provides clearing services requires them to indemnify Axos Clearing if customers fail to satisfy their contractual obligation.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND REQUIREMENTS
Our Company and Bank are subject to regulatory capital adequacy requirements promulgated by federal bank regulatory agencies. Failure by our Company or 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Federal Reserve establishes capital requirements for our Company and the OCC has similar requirements for our Bank. The following tables present regulatory capital information for our Company and Bank. Information presented for September 30, 2021, reflects the Basel III capital requirements that became effective January 1, 2015 for both our Company and Bank. Under these capital requirements and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, our Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our Company and Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation require our Company and Bank to maintain certain minimum capital amounts and ratios. Federal bank regulators require our Company and Bank maintain minimum ratios of core capital to adjusted average assets of 4.0%, common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0% and total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%. To be “well capitalized,” our Company and Bank must maintain minimum leverage, common equity tier 1 risk-based, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 5.0%, 6.5%, 8.0% and 10.0%, respectively. At September 30, 2021, our Company and Bank met all the capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject and were “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred since September 30, 2021 that would materially adversely change the Company’s and Bank’s capital classifications. From time to time, we may need to raise additional capital to support our Company’s and Bank’s further growth and to maintain their “well capitalized” status.
The Company and Bank elected the CECL 5-year transition guidance for calculating regulatory capital ratios and the September 30, 2021 ratios include this election. This guidance allows an entity to add back to capital 100% of the capital impact from the day one CECL transition adjustment and 25% of subsequent increases to the allowance for credit losses through June 30, 2023. This cumulative amount will then be phased out of regulatory capital over the next three years.
The Company’s and Bank’s estimated capital amounts, capital ratios and capital requirements under Basel III were as follows:

Basel III implemented a requirement for all banking organizations to maintain a capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The capital conservation buffer is exclusively composed of common equity tier 1 capital, and it applies to each of the three risk-based capital ratios but not the leverage ratio. At September 30, 2021, our Company and Bank are in compliance with the capital conservation buffer requirement, which sets the common equity tier 1 risk-based, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratio minimums to 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively.

Securities Business
Pursuant to the net capital requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Axos Clearing, is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital (Rule 15c3-1 of the Exchange Act). Under this rule, the Company has elected to operate under the alternate method and is required to maintain minimum net capital of $250,000 or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from client transactions, as defined. Under the alternate method, the Company may not repay subordinated debt, pay cash distributions, or make any unsecured advances or loans to its parent or employees if such payment would result in net capital of less than 5% of aggregate debit balances or less than 120% of its minimum dollar requirement.
The net capital positions of Axos Clearing were as follows:

Axos Clearing as a clearing broker, is subject to SEC Customer Protection Rule (Rule 15c3-3 of the Exchange Act) which requires segregation of funds in a special reserve account for the benefit of customers. At September 30, 2021, the Company had a deposit requirement of $241.0 million and maintained a deposit of $214.3 million. On October 1, 2021, the company made a deposit of $31.0 million.
Certain broker-dealers have chosen to maintain brokerage customer accounts at Axos Clearing. To allow these broker-dealers to classify their assets held by the Company as allowable assets in their computation of net capital, the Company computes a separate reserve requirement for Proprietary Accounts of Brokers (PAB). At September 30, 2021, the Company had a deposit requirement of $47.8 million and maintained a deposit of $55.0 million. On October 1, 2021, the Company made a withdrawal in the amount of $6.9 million.
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 cause 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 reprice at a faster rate than one with a negative gap, which would tend to reduce the growth in its net interest income.

The above table provides an approximation of the projected re-pricing of assets and liabilities at September 30, 2021 on the basis of contractual maturities, adjusted for anticipated prepayments of principal and scheduled rate adjustments. The loan and securities prepayment rates reflected herein are based on historical experience. For the non-maturity deposit liabilities, we use decay rates and rate adjustments based upon our historical experience. Actual repayments of these instruments could vary substantially if future experience differs from our historic experience.
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.

The following table indicates the sensitivity of net interest income movements to parallel instantaneous shocks in interest rates for the future 1-12 months and 13-24 months’ time periods. For purposes of modeling net interest income sensitivity the Bank assumes no growth in the balance sheet other than for retained earnings:

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 falling interest rate scenarios, we used a 100 basis point decrease due to limitations inherent in the current rate environment.

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. Those actions include, but are not limited to, making change in loan and deposit interest rates and changes in our asset and liability mix.
Securities Business
Our Securities Business is exposed to market risk primarily due to its role as a financial intermediary in customer transactions, which may include purchases and sales of securities, securities lending activities, and in our trading activities, which are used to support sales, underwriting and other customer activities. We are subject to the risk of loss that may result from the potential change in value of a financial instrument as a result of fluctuations in interest rates, market prices, investor expectations and changes in credit ratings of the issuer.
Our Securities Business is exposed to interest rate risk as a result of maintaining inventories of interest rate sensitive financial instruments and other interest earning assets including customer and correspondent margin loans and securities borrowing activities. Our exposure to interest rate risk is also from our funding sources including customer and correspondent cash balances, bank borrowings and securities lending activities. Interest rates on customer and correspondent balances and securities produce a positive spread with rates generally fluctuating in parallel.
With respect to securities held, our interest rate risk is managed by setting and monitoring limits on the size and duration of positions and on the length of time securities can be held. Much of the interest rates on customer and correspondent margin loans are indexed and can vary daily. Our funding sources are generally short term with interest rates that can vary daily.
At March 31,September 30, 2021, Axos Clearing held municipal obligations, theseobligations. These positions were classified as trading securities and had maturities greater than 10 years.
Our Securities Business is engaged in various brokerage and trading activities that expose us to credit risk arising from potential non-performance from counterparties, customers or issuers of securities. This risk is managed by setting and

monitoring position limits for each counterparty, conducting periodic credit reviews of counterparties, reviewing concentrations of securities and conducting business through central clearing organizations.
Collateral underlying margin loans to customers and correspondents and with respect to securities lending activities is marked to market daily and additional collateral is required as necessary.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding market risks in our portfolio, see,See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Beginning July 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326. As a result, the Company made changes to and incorporated new policies, processes and controls over the estimation of the allowance for credit losses. These changes were not undertaken in response to any identified deficiency in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There have been no other changes in the Company’s internal control.
Management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
