EXPLANATORY NOTE
On August 6, 2007, Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release and filed a related Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in which it announced that it would be restating its previously issued Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 in response to then-recently received comments from the SEC. The Company also announced that it was having continuing discussions with the SEC and that the ultimate resolution of those discussions might have an effect on the disclosures contained in our filings with the SEC.
This Amendment No. 1 (“Form 10-Q/A”) to the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007 that was originally filed with the SEC on May 8, 2007 (the “Original Form 10-Q”) is being filed in response to and as a result of those comments received from the staff of the SEC. It includes the previously announced restatement of the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, as well as, revisions and additional disclosures based on additional comments subsequently received from the SEC staff. All of these revisions and additional disclosures are described below.
Except as required to reflect the items described below, no other modifications or updates have been made to the Original Form 10-Q. Information not affected by items described below remains unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of, and as of the dates described in, the Original Form 10-Q (including with respect to exhibits), and does not modify or update disclosures (including forward-looking statements) that may have been affected by events or changes in facts occurring after the filing date of the Original Form 10-Q. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filings of the Original Form 10-Q, as information in such filings may have updated or superseded certain information contained in this Form 10-Q/A.
Part I. Item 1.
• | Revised the presentation and disclosure to correct the misclassification of cash flows from the sale of certain mortgage loans held for investment and inappropriately classified as operating activities within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and cash flows from certain mortgage loans originated as available for sale and inappropriately classified as investing activities. This revision is reflected in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. | ||
• | Revised the presentation and disclosure to correct the misclassification of the capitalization of mortgage servicing rights resulting from the sale or securitization of mortgage loans and the retention of residual interests as part of securitization activities to be included as part of the supplemental activity within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This revision is reflected in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. | ||
• | Expanded the disclosure related to our decision to reclassify certain AAA rated non-agency securities from held-to-maturity to available for sale to include our loss that was recorded to other comprehensive income at the time of the reclassification. This disclosure is reflected in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 4 — Investment Securities. | ||
• | Expanded the presentation and disclosure of the facts and circumstances resulting in the $3.6 million other-than-temporary-impairment recognized on the private-label securitization completed in 2005, including the manner in which we measure such impairment. This revision is reflected in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 4 — Investment Securities. | ||
• | Revised the presentation and disclosure presented in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 5 — Private-label Securitization Activity to include certain assumptions, including the weighted-average life of prepayable assets that we continue to hold as a result of securitization activities. Further, we revised the disclosure to include information required under SFAS 140, paragraph 17i(4), which includes a summary of collateral balances associated with the servicing portfolio of loans sold, and of residual assets retained as a result of securitizations. | ||
• | Added a footnote in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 6 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to identify the components of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income and changes to such components for each statement of financial condition presented. | ||
• | Expanded the disclosure in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 7 — Stock-Based Compensation to include additional information related to our stock-based compensation plan. |

Table of Contents
• | Added a footnote to the unaudited consolidated financial statements to explain the restatement of our March 31, 2007 and 2006 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and to provide a reconciliation of the changes from the “Originally Reported” cash flows to the “As Restated” cash flows. This footnote is reflected in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 11 — Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Part I. Item 2.
• | Clarified the wording in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, Non-Interest Income — Loan Fees and Charges to indicate that loan fees and charges were recorded during the periods rather than collected. | ||
• | Expanded the disclosure in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Non-Interest Income — Loan Administration to specifically reflect the amounts of servicing fees, late fees and ancillary fees for the periods reported. | ||
• | Revised the presentation in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, Non-Interest Income — Net Gain on Loan Sales to provide information on the components of our net gain on loan sales. | ||
• | Expanded the presentation and disclosure of the facts and circumstances reflected in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Non-Interest Income — Net Gain (Loss) on Securities Available for Sale that resulted in the $3.6 million other-than-temporary-impairment recognized on the private-label securitization completed in 2005, including our measurement process of the impairment. | ||
• | Revised the disclosure in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Non-Interest Expense to remove the word “certain” to clarify our description of how loan origination fees and charges are captured and amortized under SFAS 91. | ||
• | Clarified the disclosure presented in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Repurchased Assets to emphasize that repurchased assets are loans that the Company reacquired as a result of representation and warranty issues related to loan sales or securitizations rather than as a result of non-performance at the time of repurchase. | ||
• | Expanded the disclosure in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Secondary Market Reserve to provide additional information with respect to the time frame during which the loan sales remain subject to such customary representations and warranties. |

Note 1.Nature of Business
Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (“Flagstar” or the “Company”), is the holding company for Flagstar Bank, FSB (the “Bank”), a federally chartered stock savings bank founded in 1987. With $15.4 billion in assets at March 31, 2007, Flagstar is the largest savings institution and second largest banking institution headquartered in Michigan.
The Company’s principal business is obtaining funds in the form of deposits and borrowings and investing those funds in single-family mortgages and other types of loans. The acquisition or origination of single-family mortgage loans is the Company’s primary lending activity. The Company also originates consumer loans, commercial real estate loans, and non-real estate commercial loans.
The Company sells or securitizes most of the mortgage loans that it originates. The Company generally retains the right to service the mortgage loans that it sells. These mortgage-servicing rights (“MSRs”) are occasionally sold by the Company in transactions separate from the sale of the underlying mortgages. The Company may also invest in a significant amount of its loan production in order to maximize the Company’s leverage ability and to receive the interest spread between earning assets and paying liabilities. The Company also acquires funds on a wholesale basis from a variety of sources and services a significant volume of loans for others.
The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System (“FHLB”) and is subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank’s deposits are insured by the FDIC through the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”).

Note 3.Recent Accounting Developments
Establishing Standards on Measuring Fair Value
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”SFAS 157 defines the term “fair value” for U.S. GAAP purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It also clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability at a measurement date. SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement. It also establishes a hierarchy used in such measurement and expands the required disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Management will be required to adopt SFAS 157 beginning in 2008. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.

Fair Value Option
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159,“The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.”SFAS 159 allows entities to elect to measure those financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The election may be applied instrument by instrument, is irrevocable once made and must be applied to the entire instrument and not to specified risks, specific cash flows or other limited aspects of that instrument. An entity is restricted in choosing the dates to elect the fair value option for an eligible item. SFAS 159 applies to the Company effective January 1, 2008. Management of the Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS 159 on the Company’s financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.
Note 4.Investment Securities
As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, investment securities were comprised of the following (in thousands):
March 31, | December 31, | |||||||

AAA-rated agency securities | 1,156,805 | 1,233,058 | ||||||
Total mortgage-backed securities — held to maturity | $ | 1,156,805 | $ | 1,565,420 | ||||

U.S. Treasury bonds | 713 | 715 | ||||||
Total other investments | $ | 23,773 | $ | 24,035 | ||||
At March 31, 2007, the Company had $16.2 million in securities classified as trading. These securities are non-investment grade residual assets from a private securitization completed on March 15, 2007. The securities are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported in the consolidated statement of earnings. Prior to this transaction, the Company had no securities classified as trading.
At March 31, 2007, the Company had $983.8 million in securities classified as available for sale which were comprised of AAA rated agency securities, non-agency securities and non-investment grade residual securities arising from its private securitizations. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company received written guidance from the OTS on regulatory capital treatment being used by the Bank for securities retained from a guaranteed mortgage securitization of fixed second mortgage loans completed in April 2006. The securities had been initially recorded as held to maturity because the underlying bonds were AAA rated and insured by a private insurance company and, therefore, the Bank expected that the securities would receive 20% risk-weighted capital treatment rather than 50% or 100% risk-weighted treatment. At the time, the Company had both the ability and intent to hold the securities to maturity. In its guidance, the OTS advised the Company that the recharacterization of the underlying loans in the guaranteed mortgage securitization did not decrease the risk associated with carrying fixed second mortgage loans because the capital rules did not recognize private insurance companies as eligible guarantors. Because of this information received from the OTS, the Company’s capital treatment of the underlying securities changed significantly. As a result, the Company no longer intends to hold the securities to maturity and during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, reclassified $321.1 million securities associated with the guaranteed mortgage securitization of fixed second mortgage loans completed in April 2006 to available for sale. Upon reclassification of the securities to available for sale, the Company recorded a $1.3 million loss, before taxes, to other comprehensive income. Management does not believe that this capital treatment could have been reasonably anticipated and the reclassification to available for sale will not impact the held to maturity status of the Company’s other held to maturity securities.
At March 31, 2007, the Company had $1.2 billion in AAA rated mortgage-backed securities classified as held to maturity. Of such securities, $624.4 million were pledged as collateral for security repurchase agreements at March 31, 2007.

Table of Contents
The Company has other investments because of interim investment strategies in trust subsidiaries, collateral requirements required in swap and deposit transactions, and Community Reinvestment Act investment requirements. U.S. Treasury bonds in the amount of $514,000 and $517,000 are pledged as collateral in association with the issuance of certain trust preferred securities at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
As a result of management’s periodic reviews for impairment in accordance with EITF 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Certain Investments” (“EITF 99-20”), during the three month period ended March 31, 2007 the Company recorded no impairment on residual securities. For the three month period ended March 31, 2006, the Company recorded $3.6 million in impairment charges on residual securities. The $3.6 million in impairment charges incurred during the 2006 period on the Company’s residual securities available for sale resulted from changes in the interest rate environment, benchmarking procedures applied against updated industry data and third party valuation data that resulted in adjusting the critical prepayment speed assumption utilized in valuing such security. Specifically, the Company completed a private-label securitization of home equity lines of credit (“HELOC”) in the fourth quarter of 2005. As short-term interest rates increased throughout the fourth quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 and the yield curve flattened, the prepayment speed of the portfolio increased at a much higher rate than anticipated by management. Management attributed this to fixed rate loans that became available at lower rates than the adjustable-rate HELOC loans in the securitization pool. The Company also noted that this increased prepayment speed with HELOCs was occurring industry wide. The appropriateness of adjusting the model’s prepayment speed upward was validated with both a third party validation firm and with backtesting procedures. Based on this information, the Company adjusted the cash flow model to incorporate the updated prepayment speed during the first quarter of 2006. At March 31, 2006, a significant deterioration of the residual asset was determined to have occurred. The Company further analyzed the result and determined that approximately $3.6 million of the deterioration was other than temporary.
Note 5.Private-label Securitization Activity
On March 15, 2007, the Company sold $620.9 million in closed-ended, fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans (the “2007 Second Mortgage Securitization”) and recorded $22.6 million in residual interests and servicing assets as a result of the non-agency securitization. The residual interests are categorized as securities classified as trading and are therefore recorded at fair value. Any gains or losses realized on the sale of such securities and any subsequent changes in unrealized gains and losses are reported in the consolidated statement of earnings.
Key assumptions used in determining the value of residual interests resulting from the 2007 Second Mortgage Securitization were as follows:
Projected | Annual | Weighted | ||||||||||||||
Prepayment | Credit | Discount | Average Life | |||||||||||||
Speed | Loss | Rate | (in Years) | |||||||||||||
Home Equity: | ||||||||||||||||
2007 Second Mortgage Securitization | 26 | % | 1.50 | % | 15 | % | 3.8 |
Certain cash flows received from securitization trusts outstanding, including the trust arising from the 2007 Second Mortgage Securitization, were as follows (in thousands):

Servicing fees received | 1,215 | 726 | ||||||
Loan repurchases for representations and warranties | — | (500 | ) |
Credit Risk on Securitization
With respect to the issuance of private-label securitizations, the Company retains certain limited credit exposure in that it retains non-investment grade residuals in addition to customary representations and warranties. The Company does not have credit exposure associated with non-performing loans in securitizations beyond its investment in retained interests in non-investment grade residuals. The value of the Company’s retained interests reflects the Company’s credit loss assumptions as to the underlying collateral pool. To the extent that actual credit losses exceed the assumptions, the value of the Company’s non-investment grade residuals will be diminished.

Note 7.Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payment to employees, including grants of employee stock options and stock appreciation rights, to be recognized as expense in the consolidated statement of earnings based on their fair values. The total amount of compensation is determined based on the fair value of the options when granted and is expensed over the required service period, which is
13
Table of Contents
normally the vesting period of the options. SFAS No. 123R applies to awards granted or modified on or after January 1, 2006, and to any unvested awards that were outstanding at December 31, 2005. Consequently, compensation expense is recorded for prior option grants that vest on or after January 1, 2006, the date of adoption. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, for the period beginning January 1, 2006, only the excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options are presented as financing cash flows. The excess tax effect totaled $(0.1) million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and 2006, respectively. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, there were no options granted.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million ($0.2 million net of tax) and $0.7 million ($0.4 million net of tax), respectively.
Cash-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights
The Company issues cash-settled stock appreciation rights (“SAR”) to officers and key employees in connection with year-end compensation. Cash-settled stock appreciation rights generally vest 25% of the grant on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. The standard term of a SAR is seven years beginning on the grant date. Grants of SARs will be settled only in cash and once made, a grant of a SAR which will be settled only in cash may not be later amended or modified to be settled in common stock or a combination of common stock and cash.
The Company used the following weighted average assumptions in applying the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of cash-settled stock appreciation rights issued during the three months ended March 31, 2007: dividend yield of 3.2%; expected volatility of 21.44%; a risk-free rate of 4.51%; and an expected life range of 4.2 to 4.8 years.
The following table presents the status and changes in cash-settled stock appreciation rights:
Weighted Average | ||||||||
Shares | Exercise Price | |||||||
Stock Appreciation Rights Awarded: | ||||||||

Non-vested balance at March 31, 2007 | 798,685 | |||||||
Restricted Stock Units
The Company issues restricted stock units to officers, directors and key employees in connection with year-end compensation. Restricted stock generally will vest in 50% increments on each annual anniversary of the date of grant beginning with the first anniversary. The Company incurred expenses of approximately $0.3 million with respect to restricted stock units for each of the periods ended March 31, 2007, and 2006. As of March 31, 2007, restricted stock units outstanding had a market value of $1.7 million.

Note 8.Stockholders’ Equity
On January 31, 2007, the Company announced that the board of directors had adopted a Stock Repurchase Program under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $40.0 million worth of outstanding common stock. On February 27, 2007, the Company announced that the board of directors had increased the authorized repurchase amount to $50.0 million. On April 26, 2007, the Board increased the authorized repurchase amount to $75.0 million. This program expires on January 31, 2008. At March 31, 2007, $16.5 million has been used to repurchase shares under the plan.

Note 9.Segment Information
The Company’s operations are broken down into two business segments: banking and home lending. Each business operates under the same banking charter but is reported on a segmented basis for this report. Each of the business lines is complementary to each other. The banking operation includes the gathering of deposits and investing those deposits in duration-matched assets primarily originated by the home lending operation. The banking group holds these loans in the investment portfolio in order to earn income based on the difference or “spread” between the interest earned on loans and the interest paid for deposits and other borrowed funds. The home lending operation involves the origination, packaging, and sale of loans in order to receive transaction income. The home lending operation also services mortgage loans for others and sells MSRs into the secondary market. Funding for the home lending operation is provided by deposits and borrowings garnered by the banking group. All of the non-bank consolidated subsidiaries are included in the banking segment. No such subsidiary is material to the Company’s overall operations.

Note 10.Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
In June 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,”(“FIN 48”), to clarify the accounting treatment for uncertain income tax positions when applying FASB Statement No. 109,“Accounting for Income Taxes.” This interpretation prescribes a financial statement recognition threshold and measurement attribute for any tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48. As a result, the Company recorded the estimated value of its uncertain tax positions by increasing its tax liability by an additional $1.4 million and recording a corresponding reduction to retained earnings. The liability for uncertain tax position is carried in other liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2007. The Company does not expect any reasonably possible material changes to the estimated amount in its liability associated with its uncertain tax position through December 31, 2007.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in federal and other tax expense. At January 1, 2007, the Company had accrued approximately $0.7 million for the payment of tax related interest.

Note 11.Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
Subsequent to filing the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007, the Company determined that its previously issued Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows contained errors in the classification of certain loan and securitization activities. As a result, the Company has restated the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
The restatement resulted from the misclassification of cash flows from the sale of certain mortgage loans originally held for investment, which had been inappropriately classified as operating activities, and cash flows from certain mortgage loans originated as available for sale, which had been inappropriately classified as investing activities. In accordance with SFAS 102, “Statement of Cash Flows-Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale,” cash flows from the sale of mortgage loans originally held for investment should have been classified as investing activities, rather than operating activities and cash flows from mortgage loans originated to be sold, should have been classified as operating activities, rather than as investing activities.
The restatement also resulted from the treatment of capitalized mortgage servicing rights and residual interests retained from the sale or securitization of loans. Previously, the Company had treated the retention of such interests as cash activities. In accordance with SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” the mortgage servicing rights and residual interests do not exist until they are separated from the associated loans when the loans are sold. Specifically, upon the sale of loans, the amounts related to the mortgage servicing rights or residual interests are reclassified on the consolidated statement of financial condition from loans held for sale and are, therefore, a non-cash transaction. As a result, the Company will show these mortgage servicing rights and residual interests as non-cash transactions in the supplemental disclosures within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
As a result of the errors described above, the restatement affected the classification of these activities and the subtotals of cash flows from operating and investing activities presented in the affected Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, but they had no impact on the total Cash and Cash Equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The restatement did not affect the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition, Consolidated Statement of Earnings or Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income as of or for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

In some cases, a reference to “we,” “us,” or “our” will include our wholly-owned subsidiary Flagstar Bank, FSB, and Flagstar Capital Markets Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary, which we collectively refer to as the “Bank.”
General
Operations of the Bank are categorized into two business segments: banking and home lending. Each segment operates under the same banking charter, but is reported on a segmented basis for financial reporting purposes. For certain financial information concerning the results of operations of our banking and home lending operations, see Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in Item 1, Financial Statements, herein.
Banking Operation.We provide a full range of banking services to consumers and small businesses in Michigan, Indiana and Georgia. Our banking operation involves the gathering of deposits and investing those deposits in duration-matched assets consisting primarily of mortgage loans originated by our home lending operation. The banking operation holds these loans in its loans held for investment portfolio in order to earn income based on the difference, or “spread,” between the interest earned on loans and investments and the interest paid for deposits and other borrowed funds. At March 31, 2007, we operated a network of 155 banking centers and provided banking services to approximately 201,200 customers. During the first three months of 2007, we opened four banking centers, including three in Michigan and one in Georgia. During 2007, we expect to open five additional branches in the Atlanta, Georgia area and four additional branches in Michigan.
Home Lending Operation.Our home lending operation originates, acquires, securitizes and sells residential mortgage loans on one-to-four family residences in order to generate transactional income. The home lending operation also services mortgage loans on a fee basis for others and occasionally sells mortgage servicing rights into the secondary market. Funding for our home lending operation is provided primarily by deposits and borrowings obtained by our banking operation.
Critical Accounting Policies
Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. In particular, we have identified five policies that, due to the judgment, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements. These policies relate to: (a) the determination of our allowance for loan losses; (b) the valuation of our MSRs; (c) the valuation of our residuals; (d) the valuation of our derivative instruments; and (e) the determination of our secondary market reserve. We believe that the judgment, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of our consolidated financial statements to these critical accounting policies, the use of other judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in material differences in our results of operations or financial condition. For further information on our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006, which is available on our website, www.flagstar.com, under the Investor Relations section, or on the website of the SEC, atwww.sec.gov.

Results of Operations
Net Earnings
Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $7.8 million ($0.12 per share-diluted), an $11.1 million decrease from the $18.9 million ($0.29 per share-diluted) reported in the comparable 2006 period. The overall decrease resulted from a $2.7 million decrease in non-interest income, a $3.3 million increase in non-interest expense and a $10.9 million decrease in net interest income after provision for loan losses, offset in part by a $5.8 million decrease in federal income tax expense.

Net Interest Income
We recorded $52.0 million in net interest income before provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a 11.4% decline from $58.7 million recorded for the comparable 2006 period. The decline reflects a $29.3 million increase in interest income offset by a $36.0 million increase in interest expense, primarily as a result of rates paid on deposits, FHLB advances and security repurchase agreements that increased more than the increase in yields earned on loans and mortgage-backed securities. In addition, in the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006, we increased our average interest-earning assets by $1.0 billion and our average interest-paying liabilities by $1.1 billion.
Average interest-earning assets as a whole repriced up 45 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2007 while average interest-bearing liabilities repriced up 69 basis points during the same period, resulting in the decrease in our interest rate spread of 24 basis points to 1.33% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, from 1.57% for the comparable 2006 period. The Company recorded a net interest margin of 1.42% at March 31, 2007 as compared to 1.72% at March 31, 2006. At the Bank level, the net interest margin was 1.43% at March 31, 2007, as compared to 1.65% in March 31, 2006.
Average Yields Earned and Rates Paid.The following table presents interest income from average interest-earning assets, expressed in dollars and yields, and interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed in dollars and rates at the Company rather than the Bank. Interest income from earning assets includes the amortization of net premiums and net deferred loan origination costs of $7.2 million and $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Non-accruing loans were included in the average loan amounts outstanding.

Rate/Volume Analysis.The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which are presented in the preceding table. The table below distinguishes between the changes related to average outstanding balances (changes in volume while holding the initial rate constant) and the changes related to average interest rates (changes in average rates while holding the initial balance constant). Changes attributable to both a change in volume and a change in rates are included as changes in rate.

The rate/volume table above indicates that, in general, interest rates on deposits and other liabilities increased to a greater extent than interest rates on our loan products and securities during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The adverse impact of these rate changes on our net interest margin for the periods was only partially offset by the increased volume of interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities.
Our interest income on loans increased as a result of increased yields on new loan production. This increase offset the decline in interest income attributable to a slightly reduced volume of loans, which declined as certain loans were pooled and sold. Similarly, the increase in interest income arising from other interest-earning assets related principally to the increase in the volume of securities classified as available for sale and interest-bearing deposits.
The increase in interest rates occurred despite our use of security repurchase agreements, which had lower funding costs than FHLB advances or borrowings with similar short-term maturities. Our interest expense from security repurchase agreements was $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Interest expense on FHLB advances increased to $67.9 million for the three months ended March 31,2007, as average FHLB advances increased to handle funding needs as average deposit volumes decreased. Also, as FHLB advances matured or were called they were replaced at the higher current market rate.
Our interest expense related to deposits increased because of increases in our rates offset in part by a decrease in our volume of deposits. The rate increase reflects the continuing competition for deposits we face with our Midwest branches.
Provision for Loan Losses
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $8.3 million as compared to $4.1 million recorded during the same period in 2006. The provisions reflect our estimates to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level management believes is appropriate to cover probable and inherent losses in the portfolio and had the effect of increasing our allowance for loan losses by $2.7 million. Net charge-offs increased in the 2007 period to $5.6 million, compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2006, and as a percentage of investment loans, increased to an annualized 0.26% from 0.15%. The increase in charge-offs as a percentage of investment loans reflects the relative decline in the balance of our investment loan portfolio as we continue to convert investment loans to mortgage-backed securities held to maturity as part of our overall risk management and funding cost containment strategies coupled with an increase in net charge-offs. See “Financial Condition — Allowance for Loan Losses,” below, for further information.

Table of Contents
Non-Interest Income
Our non-interest income consists of (i) loan fees and charges, (ii) deposit fees and charges, (iii) loan administration fees, (iv) net gains from loan sales, (v) net gains from sales of MSRs, (vi) net gain (loss) on securities available for sale and (vii) other fees and charges. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, non-interest income decreased to $39.9 million from $42.6 million in the comparable 2006 period.
Loan Fees and Charges. Both our home lending operation and banking operation earn loan origination fees and collect other charges in connection with originating residential mortgages and other types of loans.
Loan fees recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2007 totaled $18.1 million compared to $11.4 million collected during the comparable 2006 period. This increase is the result of the $1.1 billion increase in total loan production to $5.8 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to $4.7 billion in the same 2006 period.
Deposit Fees and Charges. Our banking operation collects deposit fees and other charges such as fees for non-sufficient funds checks, cashier check fees, ATM fees, overdraft protection, and other account fees for services we provide to our banking customers. The amount of these fees tends to increase as a function of the growth in our average deposit base.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we collected $5.0 million in deposit fees versus $4.8 million in the comparable 2006 period. This increase is attributable to the increase in our average deposit base as our banking franchise continues to expand, as well as our general increase in deposit fees during 2007.
Loan Administration. When our home lending operation sells mortgage loans in the secondary market it usually retains the right to continue to service these loans and earn a servicing fee. When an underlying loan is prepaid or refinanced, the mortgage servicing right for that loan is fully amortized as no further fees will be earned for servicing that loan. During periods of falling interest rates, prepayments and refinancings generally increase and, unless we provide replacement loans, it will usually result in a reduction in loan servicing fees and increases in amortization recorded on the MSR portfolio.
Net loan administration fee income decreased to $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $4.4 million in the 2006 period. The $1.8 million decrease was the result of a $10.7 million decrease in the servicing fee revenue, which was offset by an $8.9 million decrease in amortization expense of the MSRs. The decrease in the servicing fee revenue was the result of loans serviced for others averaging $17.2 billion during the 2007 period versus $28.9 billion during the 2006 period. The decrease in amortization expense was the result of a lower average balance that also had relatively fewer prepayments and a greater proportion of more seasoned loans in comparison to the corresponding period in 2006.
The unpaid principal balance of loans serviced for others was $19.1 billion at March 31, 2007, versus $15.0 billion serviced at December 31, 2006, and $29.2 billion serviced at March 31, 2006. At March 31, 2007, the weighted average servicing fee on these loans was 0.37% (i.e., 37 basis points) and the weighted average age was 15 months.
Included in Non-Interest Income under the caption Loan Administration are contractually specified servicing fees, late fees and ancillary fees amounting to $17.6 million and $28.3 million for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Net Gain on Loan Sales. Our home lending operation records the transaction fee income it generates from the origination, securitization, and sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market. The amount of net gain on loan sales recognized is a function of the volume of mortgage loans sold and the gain on sale spread achieved, net of related selling expenses. Net gain on loan sales is also increased or decreased by any mark to market pricing adjustments on loan commitments and forward sales commitments in accordance with SFAS 133,“Accounting for Derivative Instruments” (“SFAS 133”), increases to the secondary market reserve related to loans sold during the period, and related administrative expenses. The volatility in the gain on sale spread is attributable to market pricing, which changes with demand and the general level of interest rates. Generally, we are able to sell loans into the secondary market at a higher margin during periods of low or decreasing interest rates. Typically, as the volume of acquirable loans increases in a lower or falling interest rate environment, we are able to pay less to acquire loans and are then able to achieve higher spreads on the eventual sale of the acquired loans. In contrast, when interest rates rise, the volume of acquirable loans decreases and therefore we may need to pay more in the acquisition phase, thus decreasing our net gain achievable. Our net gain was also affected by declining spreads available from securities we sell that are guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and by an over-capacity in the mortgage business that has placed continuing downward pressure on loan pricing opportunities for conventional residential mortgage products.

The following table indicates the net gain on loan sales reported in our consolidated financial statements to our loans sold or securitized within the period (dollars in thousands):
For the Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, there was a net gain on loan sales of $25.2 million, an increase of $8.1 million over the $17.1 million gain in the 2006 period. The 2007 period reflects the sale of $5.3 billion in loans versus $3.9 billion sold in the 2006 period. Management believes changes in market conditions during the 2007 period resulted in an increased mortgage loan origination volume ($5.5 billion in the 2007 period versus $4.3 billion in the 2006 period) and an increased overall gain on sale spread (44 basis points in the 2007 period versus 33 basis points in the 2006 period). Our calculation of net gain on loan sales reflects changes in amounts related to SFAS 133, lower of cost or market adjustments on loans transferred to held for investment and provisions to our secondary market reserve. Changes in amounts related to SFAS 133 amounted to $3.9 million and $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Lower of cost or market adjustments amounted to zero and $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Provisions to our secondary market reserve amounted to $2.2 million and $1.0 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Also included in our net gain on loan sales are the capitalized value of our MSR’s, which totaled $68.0 million and $46.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Net Gain on the Sale of Mortgage Servicing Rights. As part of our business model, our home lending operation occasionally sells MSRs from time to time in transactions separate from the sale of the underlying loans. At the time of the MSR sale, we record a gain or loss based on the selling price of the MSRs less our carrying value and transaction costs. Accordingly, the amount of net gains on MSR sales depends upon the gain on sale spread and the volume of MSRs sold. The spread is attributable to market pricing, which changes with demand and the general level of interest rates. In general, if an MSR is sold on a “flow basis” shortly after it is acquired, little or no gain will be realized on the sale. MSRs created in a lower interest rate environment generally will have a higher market value because the underlying loan is less likely to be prepaid. Conversely, an MSR created in a higher interest rate environment will generally sell at a market price below the original fair value recorded because of the increased likelihood of prepayment of the underlying loans, resulting in a loss.
During the three month period ending March 31, 2007, we did not sell any servicing rights on a bulk basis and we sold $0.5 billion of loans on a servicing released basis. We sold $2.4 million in servicing rights on a bulk basis, and $0.8 billion of loans on a servicing released basis during the 2006 period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the net gain on the sale of MSRs decreased from $8.6 million during the 2006 period to $0.1 million. The decrease in the 2007 period reflected the absence of any bulk sales in the 2007 period.
Net Gain (Loss) on Securities Available for Sale.Securities classified as available for sale are comprised of residual interests from private securitizations and mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligation securities. In addition to recognizing any gains or losses upon the sale of the securities we may also incur net losses on securities available for sale as a result of a reduction in the estimated fair value of the security when that decline has been deemed to be an other-than-temporary impairment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we sold collateralized mortgage obligation securities amounting to approximately $171.0 million which resulted in a gain of $729,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment on our residual interest that arose from securitizations completed in 2005 and 2006. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we recognized a $3.6 million impairment of our residual interest in the securitization completed in 2005. The $3.6 million in impairment charges on our residual interest resulted from changes in the interest rate environment, benchmarking procedures applied against updated industry data and third party valuation data that resulted in adjusting the critical prepayment speed assumption utilized in valuing such security. Specifically, we completed a private-label securitization of home equity lines of credit in the fourth quarter of 2005. In determining the appropriate assumptions to model the transaction, we utilized our recent history of similar products, available industry information and advice from third party consultants experienced in securitizations. At the same time, we had observed prepayment speeds in the 30%-35% CPR range for our portfolio, which was consistent with the available industry data. After consulting with our advisors, we utilized a 40% CPR assumption in our modeling in order to reflect our belief that there would be only a modest increase in the prepayment speeds in the near term due to our expectations of interest rate movements and the possibility of an inverted yield curve. As short-term interest rates increased throughout the fourth quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 and the yield curve flattened, the prepayment speed of the portfolio increased at a much higher rate than anticipated. We attributed this to fixed rate loans that became available at lower rates than the adjustable-rate HELOC loans in the securitization pool. We also noted that this increased prepayment speed with HELOCs was occurring industry-wide. The appropriateness of adjusting the model’s prepayment speed upward was validated by both a third party valuation firm and
23
Table of Contents
our own backtesting procedures. Based on this information, we adjusted our cash flow model to incorporate our updated prepayment speed during the first quarter of 2006. At March 31, 2006, a significant deterioration of the residual asset was determined to have occurred. We further analyzed the result and determined that approximately $3.6 million of the deterioration was other than temporary. An additional amount of the deterioration was deemed to be temporary and recorded as a portion of other comprehensive income. This was based on our belief, following further discussions with our advisors, that prepayment speeds would moderate during the year as the portfolio seasoned. For additional information, see Note 4 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in Item 1, Financial Statements, herein.
Other Fees and Charges. Other fees and charges include certain miscellaneous fees, including dividends received on FHLB stock and income generated by our subsidiaries.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded $4.0 million in cash dividends received on FHLB stock, compared to $3.5 million received during the three months ended March 31, 2006. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, we owned $329.0 million and $292.1 million of FHLB stock, respectively. We also recorded $1.0 million in subsidiary income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
Non-Interest Expense
The following table sets forth the components of our non-interest expense, along with the allocation of expenses related to loan originations that are deferred pursuant to SFAS 91, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Lease” (“SFAS 91”). As required by SFAS 91, mortgage loan fees and direct origination costs (principally compensation and benefits) are capitalized as an adjustment to the basis of the loans originated during the period and amortized to expense over the lives of the respective loans rather than immediately expensed. Other expenses associated with loan production, however, are not required or allowed to be capitalized and are, therefore, expensed when incurred.

Non-interest expense, before the capitalization of loan origination costs, increased $0.5 million to $90.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $89.5 million for the comparable 2006 period. The following are the major changes affecting non-interest expense as reflected in the statements of earnings:
• | The banking operation conducted business from 14 more facilities at March 31, 2007 than at March 31, 2006. | ||
• | We conducted business from 25 fewer home lending centers at March 31, 2007 than at March 31, 2006. | ||
• | The home lending operation originated $5.5 billion in residential mortgage loans during the 2007 quarter versus $4.3 billion in the comparable 2006 quarter. | ||
• | We employed 2,522 salaried employees at March 31, 2007 versus 2,421 salaried employees at March 31, 2006. | ||
• | We employed 160 full-time national account executives at March 31, 2007 versus 123 at March 31, 2006. |

• | We employed 288 full-time retail loan originators at March 31, 2007 versus 471 at March 31, 2006. | ||
• | We reinstated the base salaries for the Chairman and the CEO for 2007. |
Compensation and benefits expense increased $2.5 million during the 2007 period from the comparable 2006 period to $42.4 million, with the increase primarily attributable to regular salary increases for employees and additional staff and support personnel for the newly opened banking centers.
The change in commissions paid to the commissioned sales staff, on a period over period basis, was a $1.7 million decrease. This decrease reflects the reduced number of full-time loan originators during the period, offset in part by a change in the compensation structure.
The 21.6% increase in other expense during the 2007 period from the comparable 2006 period is reflective of the increased mortgage loan originations and the increased number of banking centers in operation during the period offset in part by the decreased number of home lending centers.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we capitalized direct loan origination costs of $18.6 million, a decrease of $2.8 million from $21.4 million for the comparable 2006 period. This 13.1% decrease is a result of a $1.7 million decrease in commission expense and a reduction in the direct loan origination costs during the 2007 period versus the 2006 period.
Provision for Federal Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, our provision for federal income taxes as a percentage of pretax earnings was 36.3% compared to 35.2% in 2006. For each period, the provision for federal income taxes varies from statutory rates primarily because of certain non-deductible corporate expenses.
Analysis of Items on Statement of Financial Condition
Assets
Securities Classified as Trading.Securities classified as trading are comprised of residual interests from the private securitization completed in March 2007. The residual interest in this securitization was $16.2 million at March 31, 2007. In accordance with FAS 155,“Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments”, management has elected to initially and subsequently measure this residual interest from the March 2007 securitization, and subsequent securitizations at fair value. This does not affect the classification of the residuals from prior securitizations. Subsequent changes to fair value will be recorded in earnings.
Securities Classified as Available for Sale.Securities classified as available for sale, which are comprised of mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and residual interests from securitizations of mortgage loan products increased from $617.5 million at December 31, 2006, to $983.8 million at March 31, 2007. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in Item 1. Financial Statements herein.
Mortgage-backed Securities Held to Maturity.Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity decreased from $1.6 billion at December 31, 2006 to $1.2 billion at March 31, 2007. The decrease was attributable to the reclassification of $321.1 million in mortgage-backed securities resulting from a private on-balance sheet securitization of second mortgage fixed rate loans in April 2006. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in Item 1. Financial Statements herein. At March 31, 2007, approximately $624.4 million of mortgage-backed securities were pledged as collateral under security repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2006, $1.0 billion of the mortgage-backed securities were pledged as collateral under security repurchase agreements.
Other Investments.Our investment portfolio decreased from $24.0 million at December 31, 2006, to $23.8 million at March 31, 2007. Investment securities consist of contractually required collateral, regulatory required collateral, and investments made by our non-bank subsidiaries.
Loans Available for Sale.We sell a majority of the mortgage loans we produce into the secondary market on a whole loan basis or by securitizing the loans into mortgage-backed securities. We generally sell or securitize our longer-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans, while we hold the shorter duration and adjustable rate mortgage loans for investment. At March 31, 2007, we held loans available for sale of $3.8 billion, which was an increase of $0.6 billion from $3.2 billion held at December 31, 2006. Our loan production is typically inversely related to the level of long-term interest rates. As long-term rates decrease, we tend to originate an increasing number of mortgage loans. A significant amount of the loan origination activity during periods of falling interest rates is derived from refinancing of existing mortgage loans. Conversely, during periods of increasing long-term rates increase, loan originations tend to decrease.

Loans Held for Investment. Loans held for investment at March 31, 2007 decreased $0.9 billion from December 31, 2006. The decrease was principally attributable to a reclassification of approximately $693.3 million of second mortgage loans to loans available for sale.
The following table sets forth the composition of our investment loan portfolio as of the dates indicated.

Allowance for Loan Losses.The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses in our loans held for investment portfolio as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. The allowance provides for probable losses that have been identified with specific customer relationships and for probable losses believed to be inherent in the loan portfolio, but that have not been specifically identified.
The allowance for loan losses increased to $48.5 million at March 31, 2007 from $45.8 million at December 31, 2006, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans decreased to 65.0% from 80.2% at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Our non-performing loans (i.e., loans that are past due 90 days or more) increased to $74.6 million from $57.1 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of investment loans increased to 0.61% from 0.51% at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The increase in the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2007, reflects management’s assessment of the effect of increased level of charge-offs within the higher risk loan categories, i.e. home equity lines of credit, second mortgages and other consumer loans. The delinquency rate increased in the first three months of the year to 1.64% as of March 31, 2007, up from 1.34% as of December 31, 2006.
The allowance for loan losses is considered adequate based upon management’s assessment of relevant factors, including the types and amounts of non-performing loans, historical and current loss experience on such types of loans, and the current economic environment. The following table provides the amount of delinquent loans at the dates listed. At March 31, 2007, 84.4% of all delinquent loans are loans in which we had a first lien position on residential real estate.

We currently calculate our delinquent loans using a method required by the Office of Thrift Supervision, when we prepare regulatory reports that we submit to the OTS each quarter. This method also called the “OTS Method”, considers a loan to be delinquent if no payment is received after the first day of the month following the month of the missed payment. Other companies with mortgage banking operations similar to ours usually use the Mortgage Bankers Association Method (“MBA Method”) which considers a loan to be delinquent if payment is not received by the end of the month of the missed
26
Table of Contents
payment. The key difference between the two methods is that a loan considered “delinquent” under the MBA Method would not be considered “delinquent” under the OTS Method for another 30 days. Under the MBA Method of calculating delinquent loans, 30 day delinquencies equaled $116.1 million, 60 day delinquencies equaled $32.3 million and 90 day delinquencies equaled $101.0 million at March 31, 2007. Total delinquent loans under the MBA Method total $249.4 million or 3.12% of loans held for investment at March 31, 2007. By comparison, delinquent loans at December 31, 2006, totaled $237.9 million, or 2.66% of total loans held for investment.

Accrued Interest Receivable.Accrued interest receivable decreased from $52.8 million at December 31, 2006, to $50.3 million at March 31, 2007, due to the timing of payments. We typically collect interest in the month following the month in which it is earned.
Repurchased Assets.We sell a majority of the mortgage loans we produce into the secondary market on a whole loan basis or by securitizing the loans into mortgage-backed securities. When we sell or securitize mortgage loans, we make customary representations and warranties to the purchasers about various characteristics of each loan, such as the manner of origination, the nature and extent of underwriting standards applied and the types of documentation being provided. When a loan that we have sold or securitized fails to perform according to its contractual terms, the purchaser will typically review the loan file to determine whether defects in the origination process occurred and if such defects constitute a violation of our representations and warranties. If there are no such defects, we have no liability to the purchaser for losses it may incur on such loan. If a defect is identified, we may be required to either repurchase the loan or indemnify the purchaser for losses it sustains on the loan. Loans that are repurchased and that are performing according to their terms are included within our loans held for investment portfolio. Repurchased assets are loans that we have reacquired because of representation and warranties issues related to loan sales or securitizations and that are non-performing at the time of repurchase. To the extent we later foreclose on the loan, the underlying property is transferred to repossessed assets for disposal. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we repurchased $16.6 million and $12.3 million in unpaid principal balance of non-performing loans, respectively. The estimated fair value of the remaining repurchased assets totaled $9.2 million at March 31, 2007 and $9.6 million at December 31, 2006, and is included within other assets in our consolidated statements of financial condition.
Premises and Equipment.Premises and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled $221.9 million at March 31, 2007, an increase of $2.7 million, or 1.2%, from $219.2 million at December 31, 2006. The increase reflects the continued expansion of our retail banking center network.
Mortgage Servicing Rights.During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we capitalized $68.0 million,
27
Table of Contents
amortized $15.0 million, and sold no MSRs on a bulk basis. MSRs totaled $226.8 million at March 31, 2007 with a fair value of approximately $263.6 million based on an internal valuation model which utilized an average discounted cash flow rate equal to 10.1%, an average cost to service of $42 per conventional loan and $55 per government or adjustable rate loan, and a weighted prepayment rate assumption of 18.3%. The portfolio contained 140,952 loans, had a weighted average interest rate of 6.48%, a weighted average remaining term of 315 months, and had been seasoned 6 months. At December 31, 2006, the MSR balance was $173.3 million with a fair value of $197.6 million based on our internal valuation model.
The principal balance of the loans underlying the MSRs was $19.1 billion at March 31, 2007 versus $15.0 billion at December 31, 2006, with the increase primarily attributable to having no bulk MSR sales during the 2007 period. The capitalized value of the MSRs was 1.19% at March 31, 2007 and 1.15% at December 31, 2006.

Liabilities
Deposit Accounts.Deposit accounts increased $0.4 billion to $8.0 billion at March 31, 2007, from $7.6 billion at December 31, 2006, as certificates of deposit increased while all other deposit types (except municipals) decreased. The composition of our deposits was as follows:

The municipal deposit channel was $1.8 billion at March 31, 2007, a 28.6% increase, as compared $1.4 billion at December 31, 2006. These deposits have been garnered from local government units within our retail market area.
In past years, our national accounts division garnered funds through nationwide advertising of deposit rates and the
28
Table of Contents
use of investment banking firms. Since 2005, we have not solicited any funds through the division as we have been able to access more attractive funding sources through FHLB advances, security repurchase agreements and other forms of deposits that provide the potential for a long term customer relationship. National deposit accounts decreased a net $0.1 billion to $1.0 billion at March 31, 2007, from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2006. These accounts were generally gathered in a lower interest rate environment, resulting in a lower average cost. At March 31, 2007, the national deposit accounts had a weighted maturity of 3.7 months and are used for interest rate risk management.
The Company controlled accounts increased $0.1 billion to $0.3 billion at March 31, 2007. This increase reflects the increase in mortgage loans serviced for others.
FHLB Advances.Our borrowings from the FHLB, known as FHLB advances, may include floating rate daily adjustable advances, fixed rate convertible (i.e., “putable”) advances, and fixed rate term (i.e., “bullet”) advances. The following is a breakdown of the advances outstanding (dollars in thousands):

Weighted | Weighted | |||||||||||||||
Average | Average | |||||||||||||||
Amount | Rate | Amount | Rate | |||||||||||||

Total | $ | 5,604,000 | 4.62 | % | $ | 5,407,000 | 4.62 | % | ||||||||
FHLB advances increased $0.2 billion to $5.6 billion at March 31, 2007, from $5.4 billion at December 31, 2006. We rely upon such advances as a source of funding for the origination or purchase of loans for sale in the secondary market and for providing duration specific medium-term financing. The outstanding balance of FHLB advances fluctuates from time to time depending upon our current inventory of loans available for sale that we fund with the advances and upon the availability of lower cost funding from our retail deposit base, the escrow accounts we hold, or alternative funding sources such as security repurchase agreements. Our approved line with the FHLB was $7.5 billion at March 31, 2007.
Security Repurchase Agreements.Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amounts at which the securities were sold plus accrued interest. Securities, generally mortgage backed securities, are pledged as collateral under these financing arrangements. The fair value of collateral provided to a party is continually monitored and additional collateral is provided by or returned to us, as appropriate. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had security repurchase agreements amounting to $0.6 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.
Long Term Debt.Our long-term debt principally consists of junior subordinated notes related to trust preferred securities issued by our special purpose trust subsidiaries under the Company rather than the Bank. The notes mature 30 years from issuance, are callable after five years and pay interest quarterly. At both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had $207.5 million of long-term debt.
Accrued Interest Payable.Our accrued interest payable increased $2.3 million from December 31, 2006 to $48.6 million at March 31, 2007. The increase was principally due to the increase in interest rates during 2007 on our interest-bearing liabilities.
Federal Income Taxes Payable.Federal income taxes payable increased $3.0 million to $32.7 million at March 31, 2007, from $29.7 million at December 31, 2006. This increase is attributable to the provision for federal income taxes on earnings and the change in federal income tax on other comprehensive income during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Secondary Market Reserve.We sell most of the residential mortgage loans that we originate into the secondary mortgage market. When we sell mortgage loans, we make customary representations and warranties to the purchasers about various characteristics of each loan, such as the manner of origination, the nature and extent of underwriting standards applied and the types of documentation being provided. Typically these representations and warranties are in place for the life of the loan. If a defect in the origination process is identified, we may be required to either repurchase the loan or indemnify the purchaser for losses it sustains on the loan. If there are no such defects, we have no liability to the purchaser for losses it may incur on such loan. We maintain a secondary market reserve to account for the expected losses related to loans we may be required to repurchase (or the indemnity payments we may have to make to purchasers). The secondary market reserve takes into account both our estimate of expected losses on loans sold during the current accounting period, as well as adjustments to our previous estimates of expected losses on loans sold. In each case these estimates are based on our most recent data regarding loan repurchases, actual credit losses on repurchased loans and recovery history, among other factors. Increases to
29
Table of Contents
the secondary market reserve for current loan sales reduce our net gain on loan sales. Adjustments to our previous estimates are recorded as an increase or decrease in our other fees and charges.
The secondary market reserve increased $2.3 million to $26.5 million at March 31, 2007, from $24.2 million at December 31, 2006. This increase is attributable to the Company’s increase in expected losses and historical experience of repurchases and claims.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the secondary market reserve within the periods shown (in thousands):

Reserve levels are a function of expected losses based on actual pending and expected claims and repurchase requests, historical experience and loan volume. While the ultimate amount of repurchases and claims is uncertain, management believes that the reserves are adequate.
Payable for Securities Purchased.During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we settled our payable for securities purchased relating to security purchases prior to December 31, 2006. At March 31, 2007, there were no unsettled trades pending for securities purchased.
Liquidity and Capital
Liquidity.Liquidity refers to the ability or the financial flexibility to manage future cash flows in order to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers and fund operations on a timely and cost-effective basis. Our primary sources of funds are customer deposits, loan repayments and sales, advances from the FHLB, security repurchase agreements, cash generated from operations and customer escrow accounts. We believe that these sources of funds will continue to be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
Retail deposits remained relatively unchanged in the 2007 period from the comparable 2006 period and totaled $4.9 billion at March 31, 2007 and 2006.
Mortgage loans sold during the three months ended March 31, 2007, totaled $5.3 billion, an increase of $1.4 billion from the $3.9 billion sold during the same period in 2006. This increase reflects a $1.2 billion increase in mortgage loan originations during the three months ended March 31, 2007. We attribute this increase to an increased demand for fixed-rate mortgage loans. We sold 96.3% and 89.6% of our mortgage loan originations during the three month period ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
We use FHLB advances and security repurchase agreements to fund our daily operational liquidity needs and to assist in funding loan originations. We will continue to use these sources of funds as needed to supplement funds from deposits, loan and MSR sales and escrow accounts. We had $5.6 billion of FHLB advances outstanding at March 31, 2007. Such advances are usually repaid with the proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans or from alternative sources of financing. We currently have an authorized line of credit equal to $7.5 billion, of which $7.3 billion was collateralized at March 31, 2007, by non-delinquent residential mortgage loans.
At March 31, 2007, our security repurchase agreements totaled $0.6 billion.
At March 31, 2007, we had outstanding rate-lock commitments to lend $3.1 billion in mortgage loans, along with outstanding commitments to make other types of loans totaling $6.3 million. As such commitments may expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent future cash commitments. Also, at March 31, 2007, we had outstanding commitments to sell $2.5 billion of mortgage loans. We expect that our lending commitments will be funded within 90 days. Total commercial and consumer unused lines of credit totaled $1.7 billion at March 31, 2007, including $907.3 million of unused warehouse lines of credit to various mortgage companies, of which we had advanced $284.1 million at March 31, 2007. There was an additional $182.3 million in undrawn lines of credit contained within our HELOC Securitizations.

Stock Repurchase Plan.On January 31, 2007, the Company announced that the board of directors had adopted a Stock Repurchase Program under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $40.0 million worth of outstanding common stock. On February 27, 2007, the Company announced that the board of directors had increased the authorized repurchase amount to $50.0 million. On April 26, 2007, the Board increased the authorized repurchase amount to $75.0 million. This program expires on January 31, 2008. At March 31, 2007, $16.5 million has been used to repurchase shares under the plan.
Regulatory Capital Adequacy.At March 31, 2007, the Bank exceeded all applicable bank regulatory minimum capital requirements and was considered “well capitalized.” The Company is not subject to regulatory capital requirements.
The Bank’s regulatory capital includes proceeds from trust preferred securities that were issued in seven separate offerings to the capital markets and as to which $206.2 million of such securities were outstanding at March 31, 2007.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In our home lending operations, we are exposed to market risk in the form of interest rate risk from the time the interest rate on a mortgage loan application is committed to by us through the time we sell or commit to sell the mortgage loan. On a daily basis, we analyze various economic and market factors and, based upon these analyses, project the amount of mortgage loans we expect to sell for delivery at a future date. The actual amount of loans sold will be a percentage of the amount of mortgage loans on which we have issued binding commitments (and thereby locked in the interest rate) but have not yet closed (“pipeline loans”) to actual closings. If interest rates change in an unanticipated fashion, the actual percentage of pipeline loans that close may differ from the projected percentage. The resultant mismatching of commitments to fund mortgage loans and commitments to sell mortgage loans may have an adverse effect on the results of operations in any such period. For instance, a sudden increase in interest rates can cause a higher percentage of pipeline loans to close than projected. To the degree that this is not anticipated, we will not have made commitments to sell these additional pipeline loans and may incur losses upon their sale as the market rate of interest will be higher than the mortgage interest rate committed to by us on such additional pipeline loans. To the extent that the hedging strategies utilized by us are not successful, our profitability may be adversely affected.
In addition to the home lending operations, Flagstar’s banking operations can be exposed to market risk due to differences in the timing of the maturity or repricing of assets versus liabilities, as well as the potential shift in the yield curve. This risk is evaluated and managed on a Company-wide basis using a net portfolio value (NPV) analysis framework. The NPV analysis attempts to estimate the net sensitivity of the fair value of the assets and liabilities to changes in the levels of interest rates.
Management believes there has been no material change since December 31, 2006, in the type of interest rate risk or market risk that the Company currently assumes.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.A review and evaluation was performed by our principal executive and financial officers regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. When conducting this evaluation, management also considered the facts and underlying circumstances that resulted in the restatement described in Note 11 of the Unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this report. Based on that review and evaluation, the principal executive and financial officers have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, are operating effectively.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls.During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
