IRR Sensitivity – What We Believe Static interest rate risk (IRR) results do not accurately reflect Meta’s true interest rate sensitivity due to our unique, predictable deposit baseDue to historically predictable weekly, monthly, and yearly deposit volatility, static IRR results can be significantly skewedΔUtilizing quarterly average balances for deposits and borrowings, with cash as the offset, provides a more accurate view of the Company’s IRR positionUnderstanding the predictable, quarterly and yearly, cyclicality in deposits and investments is necessary to interpret interest rate risk resultsMPS related non-interest bearing deposit value will be unlocked if interest rates riseLarge deposit increase in the March quarter is not included in December quarter analysis *

Meta’s Value Proposition A leading issuer of prepaid debit cardsSpringboard into other products and services.Significant growth; current partners expanding, new partners added, and new products implemented with more expected to come in 2016.Strong capital positionEarnings and historical access to capital markets to fund our growth objectives.Higher earnings with limited balance sheet related to Refund Advantage and AFS/IBEX should significantly reduce, if not eliminate, the need for additional capital unless additional acquisitions.Stable, low-cost, long duration funding advantagePotential for upward trend in earningsHigher/Normalized interest rates. Asset diversification with higher yields.~90% of deposits are low cost & will remain so in rising rates.Loan & security yields well positioned to increase with rising rates. Increased efficiencies expected late in 2016Steady dividend policy *
