NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BofI Holding, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Bank of Internet USA (the “Bank” and collectively with BofI Holding, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financials statements, presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Results for the three months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended June 30, 2005 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior-period financial statements to conform to the current-period presentation.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Allowance for Loan Losses — The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level estimated to provide for probable losses in the loan portfolio. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on reviews of individual loans and pools of loans, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of loans and other pertinent factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective and requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is charged against current period operating results and recoveries of loans previously charged-off. The allowance is decreased by the amount of charge-offs of loans deemed uncollectible.
Under the allowance for loan loss policy, impairment calculations are determined based on general portfolio data for general reserves and loan level data for specific reserves. Specific loans are evaluated for impairment and are classified as nonperforming or in foreclosure when they are 90 days or more delinquent. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if repayment of the loan is expected primarily from the sale of collateral.
General loan loss reserves are calculated by grouping each loan by collateral type and by grouping the loan-to-value ratios of each loan within the collateral type. An estimated allowance rate for each loan-to-value group within each type of loan is multiplied by the total principal amount in the group to calculate the required general reserve attributable to that group. Management uses an allowance rate that provides a larger loss allowance for loans with greater loan-to-value ratios. Specific reserves are calculated when an internal asset review of a loan identifies a significant adverse change in the financial position of the borrower or the value of the collateral. The specific reserve is based on discounted cash flows, observable market prices or the estimated value of underlying collateral.
Derivatives and Hedging Activities — Derivative contracts, such as an interest rate cap, are recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. On the date that we enter into a derivative contract, we designate the derivative as (1) a hedge of (a) a forecasted transaction or (b) the variability of cash flows that are to be received or paid in connection with a recognized asset or liability (a “cash flow” hedge); (2) a hedge of (a) the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or (b) an unrealized firm commitment; or (3) an instrument that is held for trading or non-hedging purposes (a “trading” or “non-hedging” instrument). Changes in the fair value of derivative trading and non-hedging instruments are reported in current-period earnings. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.
The fair value of derivative instruments is based on quoted market prices received from independent sources. Active markets may not exist for our derivative instruments. Consequently, the independent sources we use to obtain quoted market prices may be using estimating techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis and comparison to similar instruments to determine the fair value of our derivative instruments. Estimates developed by these independent sources are subjective and require the judgment of the independent sources regarding significant matters such as the amount, timing and probabilities of potential future cash flows. Since these estimates are made as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material change over time.
Stock-Based Compensation— Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in the income statements for periods ending June 30, 2005, or before. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-based Payment, and has included the stock-based employee compensation expense in its income statement for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Refer to Note 6, Stock Options, Stock Grant and Stock Purchase Plans below, for additional disclosures.
New Accounting Pronouncements— In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached consensus on the guidance provided in EITF Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments (“EITF 03-1”), as applicable to debt and equity securities that are within the scope of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities and equity securities that are accounted for using the cost method specified in Accounting Policy Board Opinion No. 18 The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. An investment is impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost. EITF 03-1 outlines an impairment would be considered other-than-temporary unless: a) the investor has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for the recovery of the fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment, and b) evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary. Although not presumptive, a pattern of selling investments prior to the forecasted recovery of fair value may call into question the investor’s intent. In addition, the severity and duration of the impairment should also be considered in determining whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. In September 2004, the FASB staff issued a proposed Board-directed FASB Staff Position, FSP EITF Issue 03-1-a, Implementation Guidance for the Application of Paragraph 16 of EITF Issue No. 03-1. The proposed FSP would provide implementation guidance with respect to debt securities that are impaired solely due to interest rates and/or sector spreads and analyzed for other-than-temporary impairment under paragraph 16 of Issue 03-1. The Board also issued FSP EITF Issue 03-1-b, which delays the effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance contained in paragraphs 10-20 of EITF 03-1. The delay does not suspend the requirement to recognize other-than-temporary impairments as required by existing authoritative literature or change the disclosure requirements of EITF 03-01. On June 29,2005 the FASB staff was directed to issue proposed FSP EITF Issue 03-1-a. The final FSB will supercede EITF Issue No.03-1 and EITF Topic No. D-44, “Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment upon the Planned Sale of a Security Whose Cost Exceeds Fair Value.” The final FSB (retitled FSP FAS 115-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”), will replace the guidance set forth in paragraphs 10-18 of EITF Issue 03-01 with references to existing other-than-temporary impairment guidance. FSP115-1 will codify the guidance set forth in EITF Topic D-44 and clarify that an investor should recognized an impairment loss no later than when the impairment is deemed other than temporary, even if a decision to sell has not been made. FSP FAS 115-1 is expected to be issued during the fourth calendar quarter of 2005 and to be effective for other-than-temporary impairment analyses conducted in periods beginning after December 15, 2005. Adoption of this standard may cause the Company to recognize impairment losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income which would not have been recognized under the current guidance or to recognize such losses in earlier periods, especially those due to increases in interest rates. Since fluctuations in the fair value for available-for-sale securities are already recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on stockholders’ equity.
The following table sets forth the amortized cost and the estimated fair values of investment securities available-for-sale as of September 30, 2005:
Available-for-sale | | | September 30, 2005 | |
| | Amortized Cost | | Unrealized Gains | | Unrealized Losses | | Fair Value | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Mortgage-backed securities (GNMA, FNMA, FHLMC) | | $ | 86,625 | | $ | 69 | | $ | (691 | ) | $ | 86,003 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 86,625 | | $ | 69 | | $ | (691 | ) | $ | 86,003 | |
The following table sets forth the amortized cost and the estimated fair values of investment securities held to maturity as of September 30, 2005:
Held-to-maturity | | | September 30, 2005 | |
| | Amortized Cost | | Unrealized Gains | | Unrealized Losses | | Fair Value | |
Mortgage-backed securities (FHLMC) | | $ | 4,219 | | $ | - | | $ | (44 | ) | $ | 4,175 | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 7,669 | | $ | - | | $ | (86 | ) | $ | 7,583 | |
The Bank intends to hold its investment securities held to maturity until the amortized cost is realized. The unrealized losses are due primarily to interest rate fluctuations.
The following table sets forth the composition of the portfolio of loans held for investment as of the dates indicated:

6. | STOCK OPTIONS, STOCK GRANT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLANS |
Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-based Payment, and has included the stock-based employee compensation cost in its income statement for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Prior periods have not been restated.
Share Based Payment Arrangements— At September 30, 2005, the Company has three share-based payment plans for employees, which are described below. Amounts recognized in the financial statements with respect to these plans are as follows:
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | |
| | | | | |

1999 Stock Option Plan— In July 1999, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”). In August 2001, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 1999 Plan such that 15% of the outstanding shares of the Company would always be available for grants under the 1999 Plan (1,316,432 shares at June 30, 2005). The 1999 Plan is designed to encourage selected employees and directors to improve operations and increase profits, to accept or continue employment or association with the Company through participation in the growth in the value of the common stock. The 1999 Plan provisions require that option exercise prices be not less than fair market value per share of common stock on the option grant date for incentive and nonqualified options. The options issued under the 1999 Plan generally vest in four years. Option expiration dates are established by the plan administrator but may not be later than 10 years after the date of the grant.
Prior to March 15, 2005, when the Company’s common stock began trading publicly, the Company’s stock options were valued without consideration of a volatility factor. The weighted-average fair value at grant date for options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2004 and the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $2.37, $2.37, $2.52,and $1.83 per share, respectively. No options were granted under the 1999 Plan during the three months ended September 30, 2005.
The following assumptions were used to determined the weighted-average grant-date fair values of options granted:
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Year Ended June 30 |
| | | 2004 | | | 2005 | | 2004 | | 2003 |
| | | | | | | | |
Risk-free interest rates | | 3.9 % | | 3.9 % | | 4.2 % | | 4.3 % |
Dividends | | - | | - | | - | | - |
Volatility | | 0.0 % | | 0.0 % | | 0.0 % | | 0.0 % |
Weighted-average expected life | | 7 years | | 7 years | | 7 years | | 7 years |
A summary of share option activity under this plan as of September 30, 2005 and for three years prior is presented below.
| | Number of Shares | | Weighted-Average Exercise Price Per Share | |

| | | | | | | | | | |
| | 721,817 | | 5.5 | | $ 6.11 | | 607,417 | | $ 5.42 |
The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable under the 1999 Plan at September 30, 2005 were $2,241 and $2,216, respectively. The Company recorded stock option compensation expense related to the 1999 Plan of $38 for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
2004 Stock Incentive Plan—In October 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors and the stockholders approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Plan”), which provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and dividend equivalent rights to employees, directors and consultants. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2004 Plan, plus the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 1999 Plan will be equal to 14.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock at any time. However, the number of shares available for issuance as restricted stock grants may not exceed 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (subject to the overall maximum of 14.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock). Each share of restricted stock that is issued under the 2004 Plan and vests will be deemed to be the issuance of three shares for purposes of calculating the overall maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2004 Plan but not for purposes of calculating the above 5% limit applicable to the issuance of restricted stock.
Stock Options Granted—In July 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the first grant of stock options under the 2004 Plan. The non-qualified stock options were issued with grant-day exercise prices equal to market prices and vesting periods of three years for directors and four years for employees with no vesting until after 12 months. The following assumptions were used to determine the weighted-average grant-date fair values of options granted:
| Three Months Ended September 30, |
| 2005 |
| |
Risk-free interest rates | 4.10% to 4.12% |
Dividends | 0% |
Volatility | 35.14% to 35.23% |
Weighted-average expected life | 6.0 to 6.25 years |
The weighted-average fair value was $4.02 per share for options granted under the 2004 Plan during the three months ended September 30, 2005. A forfeiture rate of 1.50% was estimated based upon past experience. A summary of share option activity under the 2004 Plan for the three months ended September 30, 2005 is presented below.
| | Number of Shares | | Average Exercise Price Per Share | |
| | | | | |
Granted | | | 212,900 | | $ | 9.49 | |

For the three months ended September 30, 2005, stock option compensation expense of $41 was recognized in connection with the 2004 Plan. At September 30, 2005, compensation expense related to non vested stock option grants aggregated to $801 and is expected to be recognized as follows:
| | Stock Option Compensation Expense | |

Restricted Stock Grants—In July 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the first restricted stock grants under the 2004 Plan. Restricted stock totaling 19,300 shares were granted to directors and an employee on July 25, 2005 when the closing market price was $9.50. The restricted stock vests one-third on each one-year anniversary of the grant date and no shares were vested at September 30, 2005. Compensation expense of $11 based upon grantee service period was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2005. The remaining compensation cost of $172 will be recognized during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan—In October 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which is intended to qualify as an “Employee Stock Purchase Plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. An aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock has been reserved for issuance and will be available for purchase under the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. No shares have been issued under the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we earned $846,000, or $0.09 per diluted share compared to $661,000, or $0.11 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Our net income increased 28.0% and our diluted earnings per share fell 18.2% in the September 2005 quarter compared to 2004. Key comparisons between our operating results for the quarter ended September 2005 compared to September 2004 are:
| º | increased net income was primarily the result of an 18.2% increase in net interest income generated from a 50.3% increase in average interest earning assets, partially offset by a 44 basis point decrease in our net interest margin; |
| º | decreased diluted earnings per share was due to the additional 3,052,174 shares issued in our initial public offering in March 2005, which added $31.3 million in capital for future balance sheet growth; our annualized return on average equity was 4.78 % for September 2005, down from 8.77% for September 2004. |
| | increased non interest income of $241,000 due to a new multifamily correspondent fee arrangement and higher mortgage loan prepayment income; |
| º | increased non-interest expense of $325,000, due in part to a $90,000 expense related to stock options and stock grants, not required in 2004 due to a recent change in the accounting rules, and an increase in other general administrative expense which relates primarily to public company compliance, not required in the quarter ended September 30, 2004; |
Our net interest margin declined to 1.62% for the quarter ended September 2005 from 2.06% for the same quarter in 2004 primarily due to the flattening of the yield curve, which caused deposit rates to increase without a corresponding increase in new loan rates. Another important trend which has affected our business strategy and indirectly our net interest margin has been our belief that there has been a general decline in mortgage underwriting credit standards, generally allowing higher loan-to-value loans and less credit-worthy borrowers to qualify for mortgage loans with low rates. Our first priority is to maintain our high credit quality and our interest rate risk position as we grow our earning assets. As a result, over the last year we have been purchasing more mortgage-backed securities and certain whole-loan pools, which meet our credit standards and we have been originating fewer new mortgage loans. Our increased holdings of high-quality shorter duration mortgage-backed securities with lower rates has also been a factor in the decline of our net interest margin.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased $185,000 to $846,000 or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $661,000, or $0.11 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Net income before income tax for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increase by approximately $300,000 to $1.4 million compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase resulted primarily from a $379,000 increase in net interest income and a $241,000 increase in non-interest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $325,000.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 totalled $2.5 million, a 18.2% increase over net interest income of $2.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004.
Total interest and dividend income during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased 49.0% to $7.2 million, compared with $4.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The increase in interest and dividend income during is attributable primarily to 50% growth in average earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the 2004 quarter. Average loans held for investment and average investment securities (primarily mortgage-back securities) grew 38.4% and 324.8%, respectively. The net growth in average earning assets for the period was funded largely by increases in time deposits and advances from the FHLB. Total interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased to $4.7 million, compared with $2.7 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 can be attributed primarily to 42.7% growth in average interest-bearing liabilities predominantly from new time deposits and advances from the FHLB.
Net interest margin, defined as net interest income divided by average earning assets, decreased by 44 basis points to 1.62% for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared with 2.06% for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The overall yield on average earning assets decreased 4 basis points to 4.72% in the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to 4.76% for the quarter in 2004. The decline in the yield on average earning assets for the quarter can be primarily attributed to the addition of more lower-rate, shorter duration loans and mortgage-backed securities. During fiscal 2005, we increased our investment in mortgage-backed securities, because we believe they offered better relative value compared to the pricing levels of mortgage whole loans. The mortgage-backed securities we purchase provide a guarantee from a government sponsored entity like FNMA, while single family whole loan originations and purchases do not have a credit guarantee. We elected to purchase more adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities in fiscal 2005 because we determined that the yield on whole loans was not always high enough to justify the increased credit risk, particularly if real estate values reverse recent appreciation trends and start to decline.
As a result of the recent increases in short-term Fed Funds interest rates during the last twelve months, our cost of funds for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased 61 basis points to 3.50%, compared with 2.89% for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The increase is due primarily to the maturity of longer-term lower rate time deposits, which were replaced with higher rate time deposits causing the average rate to increase 63 basis points. Over the last twelve months, our net interest margin has been negatively influenced by the flattening of the yield curve. The interest rate we pay on our deposits generally moves with short term rates and the interest yield on our loans generally moves with long-term rates. Because the flat yield curve reduces the spread between long-term and short-term rates the market increase in short-term rates and the increase in our cost of funds was not matched with an increase in our new loan rates, a major factor in the decline in our net interest margin. We believe that the yield curve will become steeper in the future, although there can be no assurances that this will occur. Until this happens, we may not be able to grow the size of our earning assets at the same rate we have experienced over the past four years and our net interest margin may decline or remain below historic levels.

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

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses amounted to $10,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to $15,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for credit losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on the factors discussed under the “Allowance for Loan Losses” section of this report.
Noninterest Income
The following table sets forth information regarding our noninterest income for the periods shown.
| | For the Three Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | |
| | (In Thousands) | |
Prepayment penalty fee income | | $ | 170 | | $ | 86 | |
Mortgage banking fee income | | | 161 | | | 11 | |
Banking service fees and other income | | | 79 | | | 72 | |
Total non-interest income | | $ | 410 | | $ | 169 | |
Noninterest income increased 142.6 % to $410,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to $169,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Increases in prepay penalty income and mortgage banking income are the primary reasons for the increase in noninterest income. Higher fee income from mortgage loan prepayments is the result of more multifamily loans repaying earlier in the loan life. This increase is generally due to the increase in the size of the multifamily loan portfolio, however, there are many factors which influence borrowers, making prepayment penalty fee income somewhat unpredictable. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we implemented a new correspondent program which earned $105,000 from brokering multifamily loans, typically loans we are not interested in adding to our portfolio. The new correspondent program, plus an increase in single-family loan sales increased mortgage banking fee income in 2005 compared to 2004.
Noninterest Expense

__________________
(1) Represents noninterest expense divided by the aggregate of net interest income before provision for loan losses and noninterest income.
Noninterest expense, which is comprised primarily of compensation, data processing and Internet expenses, occupancy and other operating expenses, increased 28.5% to $1.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $1.1 million for the same quarter in 2004.
Compensation increased 21.4% to $738,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to $608,000 for the same quarter last year. For the three months ended in 2005, salaries and employee benefits increased 6.6% to $648,000 compared with $608,000 for the period ended September 30, 2004. Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-based Payment, and starting the quarter ended September 30, 2005 we included $90,000 in stock-based employee compensation as an expense in our income statement. The 6.6% rise in salaries and employee benefits is primarily due to salary increases and a staff addition.
Professional services which includes accounting and legal fees, increased $27,000 for quarter ended September 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to prior year. The increases in professional services were primarily due to increased compliance cost associated with public company filings, audits and other routine work, not required in 2004, before we were a public entity.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased in 2005 compared to 2004 due to the relocation of the corporate office in June 2005 to a larger office with increased rent.
Other general and administrative expenses includes advertising and promotional, telephone, postage, supplies, insurance and other miscellaneous deposit and loan related expenses. Other general and administrative expenses increased $124,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 compared to 2004. The primary reasons for the increases in other general and administrative expenses relate to increased levels of corporate insurance, franchise tax and, to a lesser extent, increases related to advertising and higher levels of deposit and loan customers.
Our efficiency ratio was 50.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to 50.5% for the corresponding period in 2004. Our noninterest expense as a percent of average assets (G &A ratio) was 0.94% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to 1.10% for the corresponding period in 2004. Without the new requirement to expense stock options, our efficiency would have improved to 47.8% and our G&A ratio would have improved to 0.89% compared to 2004.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates (income tax provision divided by net income before income tax) for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, were 39.70% and 40.07%, respectively. The variations in our effective tax rate have been primarily related to our investment in bank-owned life insurance (BOLI), which generates non-taxable income.
Balance Sheet Analysis
Our total assets increased $44.9 million, or 7.4%, to $654.4 million, as of September 30, 2005, up from $609.5 million at June 30, 2005. The increase in total assets was primarily due to the purchase of mortgage-backed securities, which contributed to a net increase in mortgage-backed securities available for sale of $23.2 million. The purchase and origination of new loans contributed to the $16.6 million net increase in loans held for investment. The asset growth was funded by a net increase in deposits totalling $39.2 million and a net increase in FHLB advances of $5.0 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, our asset and liability mix changed primarily two ways. First, time deposits increased to 78.6% of total deposits, up from 74.6% at June 30, 2005. We expect this trend to continue as the rise in short-term rates has increased bank competition for time deposits making time deposit rates more attractive to many consumers. Second, we increased our mortgage-backed securities portfolio to 13.1% of total assets, up from 10.3% at June 30, 2005. During the quarter we purchased $42.2 million in whole loans and purchased $33.1 million in mortgage-backed securities available for sale. Repayments of principal on mortgage-backed securities were lower than whole loan repayments causing the mortgage-backed portfolio to increase more during the quarter. We purchased adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities generally because we determined that the yield on similar whole loan pools was not high enough to justify the increased credit risk. The increased level of investment in mortgaged-backed securities may continue in the future however, many factors could change the trend including new opportunities to originate and purchase loan pools, changing repayment rates and a reverse of the flattening in the yield curve.
Loans
Net loans held for investment increased $16.6 million, or 3.4% to $503.5 million at September 30, 2005 from the $486.9 million at June 30, 2005. The growth in loans during the quarter was primarily due to purchases of single-family loans, which net of repayments, increased our single family portfolio by $15.1 million, to $77.5 million at September 30, 2005. Total loan purchases and originations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were $42.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Loan repayments were $28.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
The following table sets forth the composition of the loan portfolio as of the dates indicated:

Net loans held for investment | | $ | 503,489 | | | | | $ | 486,872 | | | | |
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more but not on nonaccrual, restructured loans and other real estate owned, net. There were no nonperforming assets on September 30, 2005.
Allowance for Loan Losses
We are committed to maintaining the allowance for loan losses at a level that is considered to be commensurate with estimated and known risks in the portfolio. Although the adequacy of the allowance is reviewed quarterly, our management performs an ongoing assessment of the risks inherent in the portfolio. While we believe that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at September 30, 2005, future additions to the allowance will be subject to continuing evaluation of estimated and known, as well as inherent, risks in the loan portfolio.
The assessment of the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses is based upon a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including levels and trends of past due and nonaccrual loans, change in volume and mix of loans and collateral values. We did not have any nonperforming loans at September 30, 2005 or 2004. We believe that our history is limited and it is unlikely that every loan in our investment portfolio will continue to perform without exception so we provide general allowances based upon the overall volume of loans, the loan types and the estimated collateral values.
The provision for loan losses amounted to $10,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to $15,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. General reserves are a function of our portfolio loan balance. Generally, the larger the increase in our loans held for investment the higher loan loss provisions. The fluctuations in our provision for loan losses are principally due to the size of the increase in our loan portfolio during the period.
The following table summarizes activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2005:
| | Single Family | | Multifamily | | Commercial Real Estate and Land | | Consumer | | Total | | Total Allowance as a Percentage of Total Loans | |

Investment Securities
Total mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale were $86.0 million as of September 30, 2005, compared with $62.8 million at June 30, 2005. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we purchased $33.1 million in mortgage-backed securities and received principal repayments of approximately $9.2 million.
The following table sets forth the amortized cost and the estimated fair values of investment securities available-for-sale as of September 30, 2005:

The Bank intends to hold its held to maturity securities until the amortized cost is realized. The unrealized losses are due primarily to interest rate fluctuations.
Deposits
Deposits increased a net $39.2 million, or 11%, to $400.2 million at September 30, 2005, from $361.1 million at June 30,2005. Our deposit growth was comprised of increases in time deposit accounts of $45.5 million offset by a decline in checking, savings, and money market accounts of $6.3 million. Our growth in deposits was the result of increased promotion and competitive pricing on time deposits. Our money market savings decreased as a result of less competitive rate pricing resulting in customer transfers to our higher rate time deposits or withdrawals.
The following table sets forth the number of deposit accounts by type at the date indicated:
| | September 30, 2005 | | June 30, 2005 | | September 30, 2004 | |
| | | | | | | |
Checking and savings accounts | | | 8,866 | | | 8,829 | | | 5,192 | |
Time deposits | | | 12,764 | | | 10,998 | | | 9,645 | |
Total number of deposit accounts | | | 21,630 | | | 19,827 | | | 14,837 | |
FHLB Advances
We regularly use FHLB advances to manage our interest rate risk and , to a lesser extent, manage our liquidity position. FHLB advances increased 2.9% to $177.6 million as of September 30, 2005, representing an increase of $5.0 million from June 30, 2005. FHLB advances with terms between two and four years were used to fund the purchase of single family and multifamily mortgages and to provide us with interest rate risk protection should rates rise. We also had outstanding short-term advances (less than 30 days) of $28.0 million and $23.0 million at September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively. Typically, we use short-term advances to temporarily fund loan purchases and then repay the advances with customers’ deposits as they are received.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity increased $0.4 million to $69.1 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $68.7 million at June 30, 2005. The increase was the result of our net income for the quarter of $0.9 million, partially offset by a $0.4 million unrealized loss from our available for sale securities and a $0.1 million reduction for dividends paid to convertible preferred holders.
Liquidity
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we had net cash inflows from operating activities of $674,000 compared to $939,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Net cash inflows for the periods ended in 2005 and 2004 were primarily due to net income earned during the period and the timing of loan funding and loan sales in our originated for sale portfolio.
Net cash outflows from investing activities totaled $43.9 million and $52.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Net cash outflows from investing activities decreased $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 due to higher loan principal repayments, which reduced cash outflow by $11.5 million, offset by net changes in the mix of activities to purchase securities, and originate and purchase loans which required a net increase in cash outflow of $11.5 million. Increases in proceeds from maturing investments reduced cash outflows by $8.6 million.
Our net cash provided by financing activities totaled $44.1 million and $47.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Net cash provided from financing activities decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to $2.0 million in cash received from a draw on our revolving bank term loan in 2004. The revolving bank term loan was repaid and cancelled in March of 2005, and not available during the September 30, 2005 quarter.
As an additional source of funds, Bank of Internet USA can borrow up to 35.0% of its total assets from the FHLB. Borrowings are collateralized by the pledge of certain mortgage loans and investment securities to the FHLB. Based on the loans and securities pledged at September 30, 2005 we had total borrowing capacity of $226.5 million, of which $177.9 million was outstanding and $48.6 million was available. At September 30, 2005, we also had a $10.0 million unsecured fed funds purchase line with a major bank under which no borrowings were outstanding. In the past, we have used long-term borrowings to fund our loans and to minimize our interest rate risk.
We believe our liquidity sources to be stable and adequate for our anticipated needs and contingencies. However, during the last twelve months, interest income earned on loans and interest expense paid on deposits were influenced by the flattening of the yield curve. If the yield curve continues to flatten, we may have more difficulty maintaining our deposits. We believe we can adjust the interest rates we pay on our deposits to reduce deposit outflows should they occur. We can also increase our level of borrowings to address our future liquidity needs.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
At September 30, 2005 we had $50.0 million in commitments to purchase and originate loans. Time deposits due within one year of September 30, 2005 totaled $205.0 million. We believe the large percentage of time deposits that mature within one year reflects customers’ hesitancy to invest their funds long term when they expect interest rates to rise. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we may be required to seek other sources of funds, including other time deposits and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on deposits and borrowings than we currently pay on time deposits maturing within one year. We believe, however, based on past experience, a significant portion of our time deposits will remain with us. We believe we have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting interest rates offered.
The following table presents certain of our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2005.

Capital Resources and Requirements
Bank of Internet USA is subject to various regulatory capital requirements set by the federal banking agencies. Failure by our bank to meet minimum capital requirements could result in certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, our bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation require our bank to maintain certain minimum capital amounts and ratios. The Office of Thrift Supervision requires our bank to maintain minimum ratios of tangible capital to tangible assets of 1.5%, core capital to tangible assets of 4.0% and total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%. At September 30, 2005 our bank met all the capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.
At September 30, 2005, our bank was “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be “well capitalized,” our bank must maintain minimum leverage, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 5.0%, 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively. No conditions or events have occurred since that date that management believes would change the bank’s capital levels. To maintain its status as a “well capitalized” financial institution under applicable regulations and to support additional growth, we anticipate the need for additional capital. From time to time, we may need to raise additional capital to support our bank’s further growth and to maintain its “well capitalized” status.
Bank of Internet capital amounts, ratios and requirements at September 30, 2005 were as follows:
| | Actual | | For Capital Adequacy Purposes | | To Be "Well Capitalized" Under Prompt Corrective Action Regulations | |
| | Amount | | Ratio | | Amount | | Ratio | | Amount | | Ratio | |
| | (Dollars in thousands) | |

We measure interest rate sensitivity as the difference between amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that mature within a given period of time. The difference, or the interest rate sensitivity gap, provides an indication of the extent to which an institution’s interest rate spread will be affected by changes in interest rates. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities and negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. In a rising interest rate environment, an institution with a positive gap would be in a better position than an institution with a negative gap to invest in higher yielding assets or to have its asset yields adjusted upward, which would result in the yield on its assets to increase at a faster pace than the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities. During a period of falling interest rates, however, an institution with a positive gap would tend to have its assets mature at a faster rate than one with a negative gap, which would tend to reduce the growth in its net interest income. The following table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities at September 30, 2005:
| | Term to Repricing, Repayment, or Maturity at September 30, 2005 | |

Although “gap” analysis is a useful measurement device available to management in determining the existence of interest rate exposure, its static focus as of a particular date makes it necessary to utilize other techniques in measuring exposure to changes in interest rates. For example, gap analysis is limited in its ability to predict trends in future earnings and makes no assumptions about changes in prepayment tendencies, deposit or loan maturity preferences or repricing time lags that may occur in response to a change in the interest rate environment.
We attempt to measure the effect market interest rate changes will have on the net present value of assets and liabilities, which is defined as market value of equity. We use the measurement model developed and maintained by our regulators, the Office of Thrift Supervision. At June 30, 2005 (the most recent period for which data is available), we analyzed the market value of equity sensitivity to an immediate parallel and sustained shift in interest rates derived from the current treasury and LIBOR yield curves. For rising interest rate scenarios, the base market interest rate forecast was increased by 100, 200 and 300 basis points. For the falling interest rate scenarios, we used a 100 basis point decrease due to limitations inherent in the current rate environment. The following table indicates the sensitivity of market value of equity to the interest rate movement described above at June 30, 2005:
Assumed Interest Rate Change | | | Sensitivity | | Percentage Change from Base | | Net Present Value as Percentage of Assets | |
| | ($ in thousands) | |
Up 300 basis points | | $ | (13,457 | ) | | (23.00)% | | | 7.96% | |
Up 200 basis points | | $ | (8,401 | ) | | (14.00)% | | | 8.67% | |
Up 100 basis points | | $ | (3,953 | ) | | (7.00)% | | | 9.25% | |
Base | | | — | | | — | | | 9.75% | |
Down 100 basis points | | $ | 3,425 | | | 6.00% | | | 10.14% | |
The board of directors of our bank establishes limits on the amount of interest rate risk we may assume, as estimated by the net present value model for each 100 basis point movement. As of September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, the board’s established minimum was 7.5%, meaning that the net present value after a theoretical instantaneous increase or decrease in interest rates must be greater than 7.5%. The 7.96 % in the table above for a 300 basis point upward movement of interest rates exceeded the board requirement by 46 basis points.
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.
Prior to February 2005, we had not entered into any derivative financial instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps and options. On February 15, 2005, we entered into an interest rate cap, with a notional amount of $5.0 million and a term of four years expiring in March 2009, to lower the interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures should the three-month LIBOR increase above 5.25%. We designated this derivative as a non-hedging instrument and we report changes in the fair value of this instrument as charges or credits to current-period earnings.
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding market risks in our portfolio, see, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer along with our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation referred to above that occurred during the quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company’s size dictates that it conducts business with a minimal number of financial and administrative employees, which inherently results in a lack of documented controls and segregation of duties within the Company. Management will continue to evaluate the employees involved and the controls procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation and whether the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties justifies the expense associated with such added personnel. In addition, management is aware that many of the internal controls that are in place at the Company are undocumented controls. The Company is working to document these controls and take other steps required to be in compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes -Oxley Act of 2002 within the timeframes permitted by such Act and the implementing rule and regulations.
The Company believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control are met and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
We are not involved in any material legal proceedings. From time to time we are a party to claims or litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, such as claims to enforce liens, claims involving the origination and servicing of loans, and other issues related to the business of the Bank. In the opinion of our management, the resolution of any such issues would not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
