PART I
Item 1. | Business |
Overview
BofI Holding, Inc. is the holding company for Bank of Internet USA, a consumer-focused, nationwide savings bank operating primarily through the Internet. We provide a variety of consumer banking services, focusing primarily on gathering retail deposits over the Internet and originating and purchasing multifamily, single-family and home equity mortgage loans, vehicle loans and mortgage-backed securities. Our bank is distinguished by its design and implementation of an automated Internet-based banking platform and electronic workflow process that affords us low operating expenses and allows us to pass these savings along to our customers in the form of attractive interest rates and low fees on our products.
We operate our Internet-based bank from a single location in San Diego, California, currently serving approximately 28,000 retail deposit and loan customers across all 50 states. At June 30, 2007, we had total assets of $947.2 million, loans of $507.9 million, mortgage-backed and other investment securities of $358.0 million and total deposits of $547.9 million. Our deposits consist primarily of interest-bearing checking and savings accounts and time deposits. Our loans are primarily first mortgages secured by multifamily (five or more units) and single family real property. Our mortgage-backed securities consist of high quality mortgage pass-through securities issued by government-sponsored entities.
Our mission statement is to become a premier provider of consumer banking products and to increase shareholder value through growth in our assets and earnings
Our business strategy is to lower the cost of delivering banking products and services by leveraging technology, while continuing to grow our assets and deposits to achieve increased economies of scale. We have designed our automated Internet-based banking platform and workflow process to handle traditional banking functions with reduced paperwork and human intervention. Our thrift charter allows us to operate in all 50 states and our online presence allows us increased flexibility to target a large number of loan and deposit customers based on demographics, geographic location and price. We plan to continue to increase our deposits by attracting new customers with competitive pricing, targeted marketing and new products and services to serve specific demographics. We plan to continue to increase our originations of single family mortgage loans, home equity loans and vehicle loans by attracting new customers through our websites. We also plan to continue to purchase high quality mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loan pools and to increase originations of recreational vehicle loans through dealers.
Our present goals are to:
| Increase our total assets to more than $1.0 billion; |
| Improve our annualized efficiency ratio to a level below 40%; and |
| Increase our annualized return on average common stockholders equity above 10.0%. |

Lending and Investment Activities
General. We currently originate home equity loans in more than 45 states and recreational vehicle loans through dealers in more than 20 states. We have originated single family loans on a nationwide basis and we have originated multifamily loans primarily in California, Arizona, Texas, Washington and Colorado. In addition, we purchase single family and multifamily mortgage loans from other lenders to hold in our portfolio. We purchase mortgage-backed securities when their risk-adjusted returns exceed those of our loan origination or loan purchase opportunities. Our originations, purchases and sales of mortgage loans include both fixed and adjustable interest rate loans. Originations are sourced, underwritten, processed, controlled and tracked primarily through our customized websites and software. We believe that, due to our automated systems, our lending business is scalable, allowing us to handle increasing volumes of loans and enter into new geographic lending markets with only a small increase in personnel, in accordance with our strategy of leveraging technology to lower our operating expenses. During fiscal 2007, we experienced staffing increases associated with the development of new lending products, specifically vehicle and home equity loans.
Loan Products. Our loans primarily consist of first mortgage loans secured by single family and multifamily properties and, to a lesser extent, commercial properties. We also provide home equity second mortgages, primarily closed end loans and, to a lesser extent, lines of credit. During fiscal 2007, we began originating recreational vehicle loans through dealers. Further details regarding our loan programs are discussed below:
| Single Family Loans. We typically offer fixed and adjustable rate, single family mortgage loans in all 50 states, both conforming and jumbo loans. Our largest single-family first mortgage loan was $3.1 million as of June 30, 2007. We typically sell substantially all of the single-family first mortgage loans that we originate on a nonrecourse basis to wholesale lending institutions with servicing rights released to the purchaser. In more recent years, we have elected to significantly decrease or eliminate certain online single family loan offerings. |
| Home Equity Loans. We originate adjustable rate and fixed rate closed end home equity loans secured by second liens on single family residential properties in 45 states. We also have originated adjustable rate home equity lines of credit. We hold all of the home loans that we originate and perform the loan servicing directly on these loans. Our home equity loans as of June 30, 2007 ranged in amount from approximately $300,000 to $9,000. We offer closed end home equity loans with fixed interest rates and adjustable rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields. Some of our home equity loans originated have initial fixed rate periods (three, five or seven years) before starting a regular adjustment period (annually), as well as interest rate floors, ceilings and rate change caps. During 2007, we increased our online home equity loan offerings. |
| Multifamily Loans. We typically originate adjustable rate multifamily mortgage loans primarily in California, Arizona, Texas, Washington and Colorado. We hold all of the multifamily loans that we originate and perform the loan servicing directly on these loans. Our multifamily loans as of June 30, 2007 ranged in amount from approximately $2.8 million to $28,000 and were secured by first liens on properties typically ranging from five to 70 units. We offer multifamily loans with interest rates that adjust based on a variety of industry standard indices, including U.S. Treasury security yields, LIBOR and Eleventh District Cost of Funds. Many of our loans originated and purchased typically have initial fixed rate periods (three, five or seven years) before starting a regular adjustment period (annually, semi-annually or monthly) as well as prepayment protection clauses, interest rate floors, ceilings and rate change caps. In more recent years, we have elected to significantly decrease multifamily loan originations. |
| Consumer Recreational Vehicle Loans. In March 2007 we began originating fixed rate loans secured by recreational vehicles (RVs) and sourced through a network of RV dealers in 20 states. We hold all of the RV loans that we originate and perform the loan servicing directly on these loans. Our RV loans as of June 30, 2007 ranged in amount from approximately $461,000 to $3,000 and were secured by motor homes or travel trailers. |
2
| Commercial Real Estate Loans. We originate a small volume of adjustable rate commercial real estate loans, primarily in California. We currently hold all of the commercial loans that we originate and perform the loan servicing on these loans. Our commercial loans as of June 30, 2007 ranged in amount from approximately $2.1 million to $79,000, and were secured by first liens on mixed-use, shopping and retail centers, office buildings and multi-tenant industrial properties. We offer commercial loans on similar terms and interest rates as our multifamily loans. |
| Other. We provide overdraft lines of credit for our qualifying deposit customers with checking accounts and we purchase participations in business loans made by other banks. |

Another measure of credit risk is the ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property securing the loan (called loan-to-value ratio or LTV). The following table shows the LTVs of our loan portfolio on weighted average and median bases at June 30, 2007. The LTVs were calculated by dividing (a) the loan principal balance less principal repayments by (b) the appraisal value of the property securing the loan at the time of the funding or, for certain purchased seasoned loans, an adjusted appraised value based upon an independent review at the time of the purchase.

Loan Marketing. We market our lending products directly to customers through a variety of channels depending on the product. When we market single-family mortgage and home equity loans, we target Internet comparison shoppers generally in all 50 states through our purchase of advertising on search engines, such as Google and Yahoo, and popular product comparison sites, such as Bankrate.com. For home equity loans, we also buy customer leads and loan applications from major lead aggregators and from our marketing affiliates and partners with affinity agreements. We market multifamily loans primarily in five states through Internet search engines and through traditional origination techniques, such as direct mail marketing, personal sales efforts and limited media advertising. We currently market our RV loans primarily on an indirect basis through RV dealers. We expect to increase our internet marketing directly to RV and auto loan customers in the near future.
6
Loan Originations. We originate loans through four different origination channels: online retail, online wholesale and direct and indirect.
| Online Retail Loan Origination. We originate single family, home equity and multifamily mortgage loans directly online through our websites, where our customers can review interest rates and loan terms, enter their loan applications and lock in interest rates directly over the Internet. All online loan offerings are accessed though our bank website bankofinternet.com. We maintain and update the rate and other information on this website. We process home equity loan second mortgage applications through our work flow system and underwrite the loan with our personnel. From time to time, we have elected to reduce or eliminate our single family offerings, which were outsourced to a third-party processor, which handles all of the tasks of underwriting and processing the loan. Customers seeking direct contact with a loan officer during the application process were directed to a loan officer at the third-party loan processor. Our primary website for multifamily loans is located at ApartmentBank.com,, linked to our main bank website, where customers can obtain loan rates and terms, prequalify loan requests, submit loan applications, communicate with loan officers and monitor loan processing in a secure, online environment. Multifamily loan applications are underwritten and processed internally by our personnel. We designed our multifamily website and underlying software to expedite the origination, processing and management of multifamily loans |
| Online Wholesale Loan Origination. We have developed a limited number of relationships with independent multifamily loan brokers in our five primary multifamily markets, and we manage these relationships and our wholesale loan pipeline through our Broker Advantage website. Through this password-protected website, our approved independent loan brokers can compare programs, terms and pricing on a real time basis and communicate with our staff. We expect to expand this channel in the future. |
| Direct Loan Origination. We have employed up to five loan originators who directly originated multifamily and commercial loans. As a result of market conditions in the last several years, we elected to reduce our multifamily origination volume and are currently operating with one part-time originator. Our internal software, known as Origination Manager, allows the loan originator to have direct online access to our multifamily loan origination system and originate and manage their loan portfolios in a secure online environment from anywhere in the nation. Routine tasks are automated, such as researching loan program and pricing updates, prequalifying loans, submitting loan applications, viewing customer applications, credit histories and other application documents and monitoring the status of loans in process. We expect to expand this channel in the future. |
| Indirect Loan Origination. In March 2007, we signed an agreement with a large RV dealer operating in 20 states to source RV loans on new and used RVs sold through the dealer locations. Applications are submitted via facsimile to our office location from each dealer. Dealer proposal are input into our system and reviewed for compliance with pre-established credit standards for RV borrowers. For those loans which meet our term sheet requirements, we underwrite and process loans in-house with the assistance of the finance department of the RV dealer. Our approval letters are faxed back to dealers who complete the execution of the customer contract and earn participation fees based upon final contract rates and terms executed by the borrower. |
Loan Purchases. We purchase selected single family and multifamily loans from other lenders to supplement and diversify our loan portfolio geographically. We currently purchase loans from major banks or mortgage companies. At June 30, 2007, approximately $303.5 million, or 60.2%, of our loan portfolio was acquired from other lenders who are servicing the loans on our behalf, of which 67.5% were multifamily and commercial loans and 32.5% were single family loans.
Loan Servicing. We typically retain servicing rights for all home equity, multifamily and RV loans that we originate. We typically do not acquire servicing rights on purchased single family and multifamily loans, and we typically release-servicing rights to the purchaser when we sell single family loans that we originate.
Loan Underwriting Process and Criteria. We individually underwrite all multifamily, commercial, home equity second-lien mortgages and RV loans that we originate and all loans that we purchase. For single family loan originations, in the past, we have typically outsourced the underwriting to a third-party processor, based on underwriting criteria that we establish and provide to the
7
processor. Our loan underwriting policies and procedures are written and adopted by our board of directors and our loan committee. Each loan, regardless of how it is originated, must meet underwriting criteria set forth in our lending policies and the requirements of applicable lending regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS).
We have designed our loan application and review process so that much of the information that is required to underwrite and evaluate a loan is created electronically during the loan application process. Therefore we can automate many of the mechanical procedures involved in preparing underwriting reports and reduce the need for human interaction, other than in the actual credit decision process. We believe that our systems will allow us to handle increasing volumes of loans with only a small increase in personnel, in accordance with our strategy of leveraging technology to lower our operating expenses.
We perform underwriting directly on all multifamily and commercial loans that we originate and purchase. We rely primarily on the cash flow from the underlying property as the expected source of repayment, but we also endeavor to obtain personal guarantees from all borrowers or substantial principals of the borrower. In evaluating multifamily and commercial loans, we review the value and condition of the underlying property, as well as the financial condition, credit history and qualifications of the borrower. In evaluating the borrowers qualifications, we consider primarily the borrowers other financial resources, experience in owning or managing similar properties and payment history with us or other financial institutions. In evaluating the underlying property, we consider primarily the net operating income of the property before debt service and depreciation, the ratio of net operating income to debt service and the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value.
We perform underwriting directly on all home equity and RV loans that we originate. In the underwriting process we consider the borrowers credit score, credit history, documented income, existing and new debt obligations, the value of the collateral and other factors internal and external factors.
Lending Limits. As a savings association, we generally are subject to the same lending limit rules applicable to national banks. With limited exceptions, the maximum amount that we may lend to any borrower, including related entities of the borrower, at one time may not exceed 15% of our unimpaired capital and surplus, plus an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus for loans fully secured by readily marketable collateral. We are additionally authorized to make loans to one borrower, by order of the Director of the OTS, in an amount not to exceed the lesser of $30.0 million or 30% of our unimpaired capital and surplus for the purpose of developing residential housing, if certain specified conditions are met. See Regulation Regulation of Bank of Internet USA.
At June 30, 2007, Bank of Internets loans-to-one-borrower limit was $11.1 million, based upon the 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus measurement. At June 30, 2007, no single loan was larger than $3.1 million and our largest single lending relationship had an outstanding balance of $3.1 million.
Asset Quality and Credit Risk. Since inception through June 30, 2007, we have had no mortgage foreclosures and low levels of nonperforming or delinquent loans. However, our history is limited and we expect in the future to have additional loans that default or become nonperforming. Nonperforming assets are defined as nonperforming loans and real estate acquired by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof. Generally, nonperforming loans are defined as nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days or more overdue but still accruing interest to the extent applicable. Troubled debt restructurings are defined as loans that we have agreed to modify by accepting below market terms either by granting interest rate concessions or by deferring principal or interest payments. Our policy with respect to nonperforming assets is to place such assets on nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant further accrual. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest will be deducted from interest income. Our general policy is to not accrue interest on loans past due 90 days or more, unless the individual borrower circumstances dictate otherwise.
Mortgage-backed Securities Portfolio. In addition to loans, we invest in mortgage-backed securities consisting of investment grade single-family mortgage pass-through securities issued by government-sponsored entities. We invest in mortgage-backed securities to supplement our loan portfolio originations and purchases and to manage excess liquidity. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we increased our purchases of mortgage-backed securities because we believed the mortgage-backed securities provided better risk adjusted yields than certain single-family whole loan originations or whole loan pools. We also buy and sell mortgage-backed securities to facilitate liquidity and to help manage our interest rate risk.
8
Investment Portfolio. In addition to loans and mortgage-backed securities, we invest available funds in investment grade fixed income securities, consisting mostly of federal agency securities. We also invest available funds in term deposits of other FDIC-insured financial institutions. Our investment policy, as established by our board of directors, is designed primarily to maintain liquidity and generate a favorable return on investment without incurring undue interest rate risk, credit risk or portfolio asset concentration. Under our investment policy, we are currently authorized to invest in obligations issued or fully guaranteed by the United States government, specific federal agency obligations, specific time deposits, negotiable certificates of deposit issued by commercial banks and other insured financial institutions, investment grade corporate debt securities and other specified investments.

Allowance for Loan Losses. We maintain an allowance for loan losses in an amount that we believe is sufficient to provide adequate protection against probable losses in our loan portfolio. We evaluate quarterly the adequacy of the allowance based upon reviews of individual loans, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of the various categories of loans and other pertinent factors. The evaluation is inherently subjective, as it 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. The allowance is decreased by the amount of charge-offs of loans deemed uncollectible and increased by recoveries of loans previously charged off.
Under our allowance for loan loss policy, impairment calculations are determined based on general portfolio data for general reserves and loan level data. Specific loans are evaluated for impairment and are generally classified as nonperforming or in foreclosure if they are 90 days or more delinquent. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors that we consider 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 loans effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if repayment of the loan is expected 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 impairment 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. We use an allowance rate that provides a larger loss allowance for loans with greater loan-to-value ratios, measured at the time the loan was funded. The internal asset review committee of our board of directors reviews and approves the banks calculation methodology. Specific reserves are to be 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.

Borrowings
In addition to deposits, we have historically funded our asset growth through advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). Our bank can borrow up to 35.0% of its total assets from the FHLB, and borrowings are collateralized by mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities pledged to the FHLB. Based on loans and securities pledged at June 30, 2007, we had a total borrowing capacity of approximately $296.2 million, of which $227.3 million was outstanding and $68.9 million was available. At June 30, 2007, we also had a $10.0 million unsecured fed funds purchase line with a major bank under which no borrowings were outstanding.
On December 16, 2004, we completed a transaction in which we formed a trust and issued $5.0 million of trust-preferred securities. The net proceeds from the offering were used to purchase approximately $5.2 million of junior subordinated debentures of our company with a stated maturity date of February 23, 2035. The debentures are the sole assets of the trust. The trust preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indenture. We have the right to redeem the debentures in whole (but not in part) on or after specific dates, at a redemption price specified in the indenture plus any accrued but unpaid interest through the redemption date. Interest accrues at the rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.4%, which was 7.76% at June 30, 2007, with interest to be paid quarterly starting in February 2005.
The Company has sold securities under various agreements to repurchase for total proceeds of $90.0 million. The repurchase agreements have fixed interest rates between 4.20% and 4.65% and scheduled maturities (after 5 years) between January 2012 and May 2017. Under these agreements, the Company may be required to repay the $90,000 and repurchase its securities before the scheduled maturity if the issuer requests repayment on scheduled quarterly call dates. The weighted-average remaining contractual maturity period is 7.0 years and the weighted average remaining period before such repurchase agreements could be called is 1.3 years.

Technology
We have purchased, customized and developed software systems to provide products and services to our customers. Most of our key customer interfaces were designed by us specifically to address the needs of an Internet-only bank and its customers. Our website and CRM software drive our customer self-service model, reducing the need for human interaction while increasing our overall operating efficiencies. Our CRM software enables us to collect customer data over our websites, which is automatically uploaded into our customer databases. The databases drive our workflow processes by automatically linking to third-party processors and storing all customer contract and correspondence data, including emails, hard copy images and telephone notes. We intend to continue to improve our systems and implement new systems, with the goal of providing for increased transaction capacity without materially increasing personnel costs.
The following summarizes our current technology resources:
Core Banking Systems. We outsource substantially all of our core banking systems. The outsourcer is responsible for all of our basic core processing applications, including general ledger, loans, deposits, bill pay, ATM networks, electronic fund transfers, item processing and imaging. These outsourced services for our core banking systems are located in California, Kansas and North Carolina, with a backup location in New York. We use a variety of vendors to provide automated information for our customers, including credit, identity authentication, tax status and property appraisal.
Internet and CRM Systems. We developed software for our website interface with loan and deposit customers, including collection and initial processing of new customer information. We also developed software to manage workflow and fraud control and provide automated interfaces to our outsourced service providers. We host our primary web servers in San Diego, California, and fully control and manage these servers with a staff of technology personnel. Web servers used by our customers to access real time account data are located in Kansas, with a backup location in Texas.
Systems Architecture. Our internally developed software is based on a Microsoft development language and Intel-based hardware. Our outsourced core processing system uses IBM hardware and software. We use a variety of specialized companies to provide hardware and software for firewalls, network routers, intrusion detection, load balancing, data storage and data backup. To aid in disaster recovery, customer access to our websites is supported by a fully redundant network and our servers are mirrored so that most hardware failures or software bugs should cause no more than a few minutes of service outage. Mirroring means that our server is backed up continuously so that all data is stored in two physical locations.
Security
Because we operate almost exclusively through electronic means, we believe that we must be vigilant in detecting and preventing fraudulent transactions. We have implemented stringent computer security and internal control procedures to reduce our susceptibility to identity theft, hackers, theft and other types of fraud. We have implemented an automated approach to detecting identity theft that we believe is highly effective, and we have integrated our fraud detection processes into our CRM technology. For example, when opening new deposit accounts, our CRM programs automatically collect a customers personal and computer identification from our websites, send the data to internal and third-party programs which analyze the data for potential fraud, and quickly provide operating personnel with a summary report for final assessment and decision making during the account-opening process.
We continually evaluate the systems, services and software used in our operations to ensure that they meet high standards of security. The following are among the security measures that are currently in place:
| Encrypted Transactions. All banking transactions and other appropriate Internet communications are encrypted so that sensitive information is not transmitted over the Internet in a form that can be read or easily deciphered. |
| Secure Log-on. To protect against the possibility of unauthorized downloading of a customers password protected files, user identification and passwords are not stored on the Internet or our web server. |
15
| Authenticated Session Integrity. An authenticated user is any user who signs onto our website with a valid user ID and password. To protect against fraudulent bank customers, our server is programmed to alert our core processing vendor of any attempted illegitimate entry so that its staff can quickly investigate and respond to such attempts. |
| Physical Security. Our servers and network computers reside in secure facilities. Currently, computer operations supporting our outsourced core banking systems are based in Lenexa, Kansas with backup facilities in Houston, Texas. Only employees with proper photographic identification may enter the primary building. The computer operations are located in a secure area that can be accessed only by using a key card and further password identification. In addition, our marketing and account opening servers reside in a secure third-party location in San Diego with a mirror site at our corporate offices. These servers are on a different network separate from our outsourced core back-office processing system and maintain the same level of security services as our outsourced core processing servers in Lenexa, Kansas. |
| Service Continuity. Our core system outsourcer and our bank provide a fully redundant network. Our server is also mirrored. This network and server redundancy is designed to provide reliable access to our bank. However, if existing customers are not able to access their accounts over the Internet, customers retain access to their funds through paper checks, ATM cards, customer service by telephone and an automated telephone response system. |
| Monitoring. All customer transactions on our servers produce one or more entries into transaction logs, which we monitor for unusual or fraudulent activity. We are notified and log any attempt by an authenticated user to modify a command or request from our websites. Additionally, all financial transactions are logged, and these logs are constantly reviewed for abnormal or unusual activity. |
Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights
We register our various Internet URL addresses with service companies, and work actively with bank regulators to identify potential naming conflicts with competing financial institutions. Policing unauthorized use of proprietary information is difficult and litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights.
We own the Internet domain names bankofinternet.com, bofi.com, apartmentbank.com, seniorbofi.com, myrvbank.com, insurancesales.com, investmentsales.com, bancodeinternet.com and many other similar names. Domain names in the United States and in foreign countries are regulated, and the laws and regulations governing the Internet are continually evolving. Additionally, the relationship between regulations governing domain names and laws protecting intellectual property rights is not entirely clear. As a result, we may in the future be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that infringe or otherwise decrease the value of our trademark and other intellectual property rights.
Employees
At June 30, 2007, we had 40 full time employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppage and consider our relations with our employees to be good.
16
Competition
The market for banking and financial services is intensely competitive, and we expect competition to continue to intensify in the future. We believe that competition in our market is based predominantly on price, customer service and brand recognition. Our competitors include:
| large, publicly-traded, Internet-based banks, as well as smaller Internet-based banks; |
| brick and mortar banks, including those that have implemented websites to facilitate online banking; and |
| traditional banking institutions such as thrifts, finance companies, credit unions and mortgage banks. |
In real estate lending, we compete against traditional real estate lenders, including large and small savings banks, commercial banks, mortgage bankers and mortgage brokers. Many of our current and potential competitors have greater brand recognition, longer operating histories, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources and are capable of providing strong price and customer service competition. In order to compete profitably, we may need to reduce the rates we offer on loans and investments and increase the rates we offer on deposits, which actions may adversely affect our overall financial condition and earnings. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors
REGULATION
General
Savings and loan holding companies and savings associations are extensively regulated under both federal and state law. This regulation is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the Savings Association Insurance Fund, or SAIF, and not for the benefit of our stockholders. The following information describes aspects of the material laws and regulations applicable to us and our subsidiary, and does not purport to be complete. The discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to all particular applicable laws and regulations.
Legislation is introduced from time to time in the U.S. Congress that may affect the operations of our company and Bank of Internet USA. In addition, the regulations governing us and Bank of Internet USA may be amended from time to time by the OTS. Any such legislation or regulatory changes in our future could adversely affect Bank of Internet USA. No assurance can be given as to whether or in what form any such changes may occur.
Regulation of BofI Holding, Inc.
General. We are a savings and loan holding company subject to regulatory oversight by the OTS. As such, we are required to register and file reports with the OTS and are subject to regulation and examination by the OTS. In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over us and our subsidiary, which also permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to Bank of Internet USA.
Activities Restrictions. Our activities, other than through Bank of Internet USA or any other SAIF-insured savings association we may hold in the future, are subject to restrictions applicable to bank holding companies. Bank holding companies are prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from engaging in any business or activity other than a business or activity that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking. The Federal Reserve Board has by regulation determined that specified activities satisfy this closely-related-to-banking standard. We currently do not engage in any activities that fall under this standard.
17
Regulation of Bank of Internet USA
General. As a federally chartered, SAIF-insured savings association, Bank of Internet USA is subject to extensive regulation by the OTS and the FDIC. Lending activities and other investments of Bank of Internet USA must comply with various statutory and regulatory requirements. Bank of Internet USA is also subject to reserve requirements promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. The OTS, together with the FDIC, regularly examines Bank of Internet USA and prepares reports for Bank of Internet USAs board of directors on any deficiencies found in the operations of Bank of Internet USA. The relationship between Bank of Internet USA and depositors and borrowers is also regulated by federal and state laws, especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the form and content of mortgage documents utilized by Bank of Internet USA.
Bank of Internet USA must file reports with the OTS and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition, in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into specified transactions such as mergers with or acquisitions of other financial institutions or raising capital or issuing trust preferred securities. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the SAIF and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such regulations, whether by the OTS, the FDIC or the Congress, could have a material adverse effect on us, Bank of Internet USA and our operations.
Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The SAIF, as administered by the FDIC, insures Bank of Internet USAs deposit accounts up to the maximum amount permitted by law. The FDIC may terminate insurance of deposits upon a finding that Bank of Internet USA has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the OTS.
The FDIC charges an annual assessment for the insurance of deposits based on the risk a particular institution poses to its deposit insurance fund. Under this system, as of December 31, 2001, SAIF members pay zero to $0.27 per $100 of domestic deposits, depending upon the institutions risk classification. This risk classification is based on an institutions capital group and supervisory subgroup assignment. In addition, all FDIC-insured institutions are required to pay assessments to the FDIC at an annual rate for the third quarter of 2002 of approximately $0.0172 per $100 of assessable deposits to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation, or FICO, an agency of the Federal government established to recapitalize the predecessor to the SAIF. These assessments will continue until the FICO bonds mature in 2017.
Regulatory Capital Requirements and Prompt Corrective Action. The prompt corrective action regulation of the OTS requires mandatory actions and authorizes other discretionary actions to be taken by the OTS against a savings association that falls within undercapitalized capital categories specified in the regulation.
Under the regulation, an institution is well capitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0% and a leverage ratio of at least 5.0%, with no written agreement, order, capital directive, prompt corrective action directive or other individual requirement by the OTS to maintain a specific capital measure. An institution is adequately capitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4.0% and a leverage ratio of at least 4.0% (or 3.0% if it has a composite rating of 1 and is not experiencing or anticipating significant growth). The regulation also establishes three categories for institutions with lower ratios: undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. At June 30, 2007, Bank of Internet USA met the capital requirements of a well capitalized institution under applicable OTS regulations.
In general, the prompt corrective action regulation prohibits an insured depository institution from declaring any dividends, making any other capital distribution, or paying a management fee to a controlling person if, following the distribution or payment, the institution would be within any of the three undercapitalized categories. In addition, adequately capitalized institutions may accept brokered deposits only with a waiver from the FDIC and are subject to restrictions on the interest rates that can be paid on such deposits. Undercapitalized institutions may not accept, renew or roll-over brokered deposits.
18
If the OTS determines that an institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition, or if the institution is deemed to be engaging in an unsafe and unsound practice, the OTS may, if the institution is well capitalized, reclassify it as adequately capitalized; if the institution is adequately capitalized but not well capitalized, require it to comply with restrictions applicable to undercapitalized institutions; and, if the institution is undercapitalized, require it to comply with restrictions applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions. Finally, pursuant to an interagency agreement, the FDIC can examine any institution that has a substandard regulatory examination score or is considered undercapitalized without the express permission of the institutions primary regulator.
OTS capital regulations also require savings associations to meet three additional capital standards:
| tangible capital equal to at least 1.5% of total adjusted assets; |
| leverage capital (core capital) equal to 4.0% of total adjusted assets; and |
| risk-based capital equal to 8.0% of total risk-weighted assets. |
These capital requirements are viewed as minimum standards by the OTS, and most institutions are expected to maintain capital levels well above the minimum. In addition, the OTS regulations provide that minimum capital levels greater than those provided in the regulations may be established by the OTS for individual savings associations upon a determination that the savings associations capital is or may become inadequate in view of its circumstances. Bank of Internet USA is not subject to any such individual minimum regulatory capital requirement and our regulatory capital exceeded all minimum regulatory capital requirements as of June 30, 2007. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Loans-to-One-Borrower Limitations. Savings associations generally are subject to the lending limits applicable to national banks. With limited exceptions, the maximum amount that a savings association or a national bank may lend to any borrower, including related entities of the borrower, at one time may not exceed 15% of the unimpaired capital and surplus of the institution, plus an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus for loans fully secured by readily marketable collateral. Savings associations are additionally authorized to make loans to one borrower by order of the Director of the OTS, in an amount not to exceed the lesser of $30.0 million or 30% of unimpaired capital and surplus for the purpose of developing residential housing, if the following specified conditions are met:
| the purchase price of each single family dwelling in the development does not exceed $500,000; |
| the savings association is in compliance with its fully phased-in capital requirements; |
| the loans comply with applicable loan-to-value requirements; and |
| the aggregate amount of loans made under this authority does not exceed 150% of unimpaired capital and surplus. |
Qualified Thrift Lender Test. Savings associations must meet a qualified thrift lender, or QTL, test. This test may be met either by maintaining a specified level of portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments as specified by the HOLA, or by meeting the definition of a domestic building and loan association under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. Qualified thrift investments are primarily residential mortgage loans and related investments, including mortgage related securities. Portfolio assets generally mean total assets less specified liquid assets, goodwill and other intangible assets and the value of property used in the conduct of Bank of Internet USAs business. The required percentage of qualified thrift investments under the HOLA is 65% of portfolio. An association must be in compliance with the QTL test or the definition of domestic building and loan association on a monthly basis in nine out of every 12 months. Associations that fail to meet the QTL test will generally be prohibited from engaging in any activity not permitted for both a national bank and a savings association. At June 30, 2007, Bank of Internet USA was in compliance with its QTL requirement and met the definition of a domestic building and loan association.
Liquidity Standard. Savings associations are required to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure safe and sound operations.
19
Affiliate Transactions. Transactions between a savings association and its affiliates are quantitatively and qualitatively restricted pursuant to OTS regulations. Affiliates of a savings association include, among other entities, the savings associations holding company and companies that are under common control with the savings association. In general, a savings association or its subsidiaries are limited in their ability to engage in covered transactions with affiliates. In addition, a savings association and its subsidiaries may engage in certain covered transactions and other specified transactions with affiliates only on terms and under circumstances that are substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the savings association or its subsidiary, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies.
The OTS regulations generally exclude all non-bank and non-savings association subsidiaries of savings associations from treatment as affiliates, except to the extent that the OTS or the Federal Reserve Board decides to treat these subsidiaries as affiliates. The regulations also require savings associations to make and retain records that reflect affiliate transactions in reasonable detail and provide that specified classes of savings associations may be required to give the OTS prior notice of affiliate transactions.
Capital Distribution Limitations. OTS regulations impose limitations upon all capital distributions by savings associations, like cash dividends, payments to repurchase or otherwise acquire its shares, payments to stockholders of another institution in a cash-out merger and other distributions charged against capital. Under these regulations, a savings association may, in circumstances described in those regulations:
| be required to file an application and await approval from the OTS before it makes a capital distribution; |
| be required to file a notice 30 days before the capital distribution; or |
| be permitted to make the capital distribution without notice or application to the OTS. |
Community Reinvestment Act and the Fair Lending Laws. Savings associations have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations of the OTS to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. An institutions failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in regulatory restrictions on its activities and the denial of applications. In addition, an institutions failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in the OTS, other federal regulatory agencies or the Department of Justice taking enforcement actions against the institution.
Federal Home Loan Bank System. Bank of Internet USA is a member of the FHLB system. Among other benefits, each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. Each FHLB is financed primarily from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB system. Each FHLB makes available loans or advances to its members in compliance with the policies and procedures established by the board of directors of the individual FHLB. As an FHLB member, Bank of Internet USA is required to own capital stock in an FHLB in specified amounts based on either its aggregate outstanding principal amount of its residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts and similar obligations at the beginning of each calendar year or its outstanding advances from the FHLB.
Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain noninterest-bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW, and Super NOW checking accounts) and nonpersonal time deposits. At June 30, 2007, Bank of Internet USA was in compliance with these requirements.
Activities of Subsidiaries. A savings association seeking to establish a new subsidiary, acquire control of an existing company or conduct a new activity through a subsidiary must provide 30 days prior notice to the FDIC and the OTS and conduct any activities of the subsidiary in compliance with regulations and orders of the OTS. The OTS has the power to require a savings association to divest any subsidiary or terminate any activity conducted by a subsidiary that the OTS determines to pose a serious threat to the financial safety, soundness or stability of the savings association or to be otherwise inconsistent with sound banking practices.

Dividends
Our board of directors has never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and does not expect to do so for the foreseeable future.
The holders of record of our Series A preferred stock, which was issued in 2003 and 2004, are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of six percent (6%) of the stated value per share of $10,000 per share per year. Dividends on the Series A preferred stock accrue and are payable quarterly. Dividends on the Series A preferred stock must be paid prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any distribution on any outstanding shares of junior stock, including our common stock.
Other than dividends to be paid on our Series A preferred stock, we currently intend to retain any earnings to finance the growth and development of our business. Our ability to pay dividends, should our board of directors elect to do so, depends largely upon the ability of our bank to declare and pay dividends to us as our principal source of revenue is dividends paid to us by our bank. Future dividends will depend primarily upon our earnings, financial condition and need for funds, as well as government policies and regulations applicable to us and our bank that limit the amount that may be paid as dividends without prior approval.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Stock Repurchases
On June 30, 2005, our board of directors approved a common stock buyback program to purchase up to 5% of BOFI outstanding common shares when and if the opportunity arises. The buyback program became effective on August 23, 2005 with no termination date. The program authorizes BOFI to buy back common stock at its discretion, subject to market conditions.

Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements due to various important factors, including those set forth under Factors the May Affect Our Performance and elsewhere in this 10-K. The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the Selected Financial Data and our consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, included elsewhere in this10-K.
Overview
Our company, BofI Holding, Inc., is the holding company for Bank of Internet USA, a consumer-focused, nationwide savings bank operating primarily over the Internet. We generate retail deposits in all 50 states and originate loans for our customers directly through our websites, including www.bankofinternet.com, www.bofi.com and www.apartmentbank.com. We are a unitary savings and loan holding company and, along with Bank of Internet USA, are subject to primary federal regulation by the OTS.
Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 was $3.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, as compared to $3.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in fiscal 2006 and $2.9 million or $0.40 per diluted share, in 2005. Growth in our interest earning assets, particularly our mortgage-backed securities, has been the primary driver of the increase in net income. Higher interest earning assets caused net interest income (interest income from loans and investments minus interest expense from deposits and borrowings) to grow to $10.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $10.0 million for fiscal 2006 and $9.0 million for 2005.
Total assets at June 30, 2007 were $947.2 million as compared to $737.8 million at June 30, 2006 and $609.5 million at June 30, 2005. Assets grew $209.4 million or 28.4% during the last fiscal year primarily due to the purchase of mortgage-backed securities and the origination and purchase of mortgage loans. These investments were funded with growth in deposits, advances from the FHLB, and borrowings from securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Total assets grew $128.3 million or 21.1% in fiscal 2006 as a result of the purchase of mortgage-backed securities and total assets grew $204.5 million or 50.5% in fiscal 2005 from the previous year, primarily due to loan originations and purchases.
Our future performance will depend on many factors, including changes in interest rates, competition for deposits and quality loans, regulatory burden and our ability to improve operating efficiencies. (See Factors that May Affect our Performance). Our earnings rely on our net interest income and during the last two years our net interest margin has been negatively influenced by a general decline in the historical spread between short term and long-term rates earned on U.S. Treasury securities, flattening and inversion of the yield curve. Our net interest margin declined from 1.87% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 to 1.36% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various factors and circumstances. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions that could have a material effect on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods.
Investment Securities Available-for-SaleSecurities available-for-sale are reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of the related tax effects, excluded from operations and reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on securities are recorded as yield adjustments on such securities using the effective interest method. The specific identification method is used for purposes of determining cost in computing realized gains and losses on investment securities sold. At each reporting date, available-for-sale securities are assessed to determine whether there is an other-than-temporary impairment. Such impairment is required to be recognized in current earnings rather than other comprehensive income or loss.
Investment Securities Held to MaturitySecurities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and recorded at amortized cost. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.
Allowance for Loan LossesThe 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 generally 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 loans 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.

Results of Operations
Our results of operations depend on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Our net interest income has grown primarily as a result of the growth in our assets. We also earn non-interest income primarily from prepayment fee income from multifamily borrowers who repay their loans before maturity and from gains on sales of investment securities. The largest component of non-interest expense is salary and benefits, which is a function of the number of personnel, which increased from 20 full time employees at June 30, 2001 to 40 full time equivalent employees at June 30, 2007. We are subject to federal and state income taxes, and our effective tax rates were 40.8%, 40.0%, and 39.7% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Other factors that affect our results of operations include expenses relating to occupancy, data processing and other miscellaneous expenses.
Comparison of the Year Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is determined by our interest rate spread (i.e., the difference between the yields earned on our interest-earning assets and the rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities) and the relative amounts (volume) of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income totaled $10.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $10.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income. Information is provided with respect to (i) effects on interest income and interest expense attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate); (ii) effects on interest income and interest expense attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume); and (iii) changes in rate/volume (change in rate multiplied by change in volume) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

Interest Income. Interest income for the year ended June 30, 2007 totaled $44.6 million, an increase of $11.9 million, or 36.4%, compared to $32.7 million in interest income for the year ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to interest-earning asset growth. Average interest-earning assets for the year ended June 30, 2007 increased by $140.3 million compared to the year ended June 30, 2006 due to the purchase of mortgage-backed and investment securities which increased $154.8 million during the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to 2006. Partially offsetting the increase was a $20.9 million decrease in the average balance of the loan portfolio, primarily the result of our multifamily and single family loan payoff in excess of originations and purchases. We typically acquire adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities when we determine that the yield on whole loans is not high enough to justify the increased credit risk at the time of investment. 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 and the mortgage-backed securities offer increased liquidity compared to whole loans. Average interest earning balances associated with our stock of the FHLB increased by $2.4 million in the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to the year ended June 30, 2006 because our required minimum investment increased, in line with our increased advances from the FHLB. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the growth in average balances contributed additional interest income of $5.2 million, and the average rate increase resulted in a net $6.7 million increase in interest income. The average yield earned on our interest-earning assets increased to 5.57% for the year ended June 30, 2007, up from 4.96% for the same period in 2006 due primarily to the higher yields on our loan portfolio and our mortgage-backed securities portfolio. Loan rate increases from adjustable rate loans contributed to the increase in the loan portfolio yield. In the second half of fiscal 2007, we originated higher yielding home equity and RV loans which also contributed to the increase in loan yield. Higher market rates on new loan pools and mortgage-backed securities purchases also caused the increase in the yield on earning assets.
Interest Expense. Interest expense totaled $33.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $10.9 million, compared to $22.8 million in interest expense during the year ended June 30, 2006. Average interest-bearing balances for the year ended June 30, 2007 increased $142.5 million compared to the same period in 2006, due to higher deposit totals from increased customer accounts and additional borrowings from the FHLB. The average interest-bearing balances of advances from the FHLB increased $46.1 million as primarily new 5- and 10-year fixed-rate advances were added. Our addition of long-term fixed rate borrowings is a part of our strategy to manage our interest rate risk. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the growth in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities resulted in additional interest expense of $4.6 million, and increases in interest rates resulted in a net increase of $6.4 million in interest expense. The average rate paid on all of our interest-bearing liabilities increased to 4.59% for the year ended June 30, 2007 from 3.84% for the year ended June 30, 2006. The maturity of lower-rate term deposits and the addition of new term deposits at higher rates caused the average term deposit rates to increase to 4.89% in fiscal 2007 from 4.01% in fiscal
31
2006. Similarly, new higher rate FHLB advances added during fiscal 2007 caused the average FHLB advance rate to increase to 4.34% in fiscal 2007 from 3.86% in fiscal 2006. These rate changes in fiscal 2007 were accompanied by an increase in the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing demand and savings accounts, which increased to 3.37% from 2.82%, and the average rate paid on other borrowings that increased to 8.01% in fiscal 2007 from 7.02% in fiscal 2006. The increase in the rate paid on checking and savings was due to competitive increases in our rates for money market savings accounts and interest-bearing checking accounts. Our average rate on term deposits increased 88 basis points between fiscal 2007 and 2006. Long-term U.S. Treasury rates, which generally influence our mortgage market rates, did not move proportional higher and the yield curve inverted during fiscal 2007. As a result, the rate on our loan portfolio increased only 55 basis points. Deposit market rates increased faster than loan rates in fiscal 2007 causing our net interest margin to decline to 1.36% from 1.51% in fiscal 2006. Until the inversion of the yield curve reverses, it will be more difficult for the bank to increase its net interest margin to levels achieved in prior years.
Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses was a benefit of $25,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 and an expense of $60,000 for fiscal 2006. The provisions were made to maintain our allowance for loan losses at levels which management believed to be adequate. 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. In March 2007, we commenced RV lending which has more credit risk than prime mortgage lending and as our portfolio grows, it is unlikely that we will be able to avoid credit losses, as we have in our mortgage loan portfolio, We provide general loan loss reserves for our RV loans based upon the borrower credit score at the time of origination and based upon the type of RV. We believe that our history is limited and it is unlikely that every loan in our 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. Between June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, our net loans decreased $25.7 million. Loan growth was $46.8 million during fiscal 2006, thereby resulting in a higher loan loss provision.

Noninterest income totaled $1.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2006. The decrease of $0.1 million in fiscal 2007 was primarily due to the lower prepayment penalty income of $322,000, lower mortgage banking income of $196,000, partially offset by an increase in gain on sale of securities. Lower prepayment penalty income was generally the result of fewer new multifamily loans and the seasoning and expiration of penalties on seasoned loans. Mortgage banking income decreased due to a reduction in the number of single family and multifamily loan originated for sale. The increase in gains on sales of securities resulted from mortgage backed securities that were sold primarily to provide proceeds to invest in higher yielding investment securities and whole loans.

Noninterest expense totaled $6.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $0.7 million compared to fiscal 2006. Salaries expense increased $116,000 due primarily to the addition of staff to accommodate the addition of RV and home equity loan products. Stock-based compensation increased for the year ended June 30, 2007 by $82,000 due to additional stock option and restricted stock grants in July 2006. Professional services increased $94,000 in fiscal 2007 compared to 2006 generally due to an increase in professional filing services and consulting fees. Data processing and Internet expenses increased $95,000 in fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006 due to increased development costs for new websites and increases in service bureau charges associated with new deposit and loan customers. Advertising and promotion expense increased $246,000, primarily due to increased activity for our new home equity loan products.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $2.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2.2 million for fiscal 2006. Our effective tax rates were 40.8% and 40.0% for the year ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate is primarily due to adjustments for the tax treatment for incentive stock options.
Comparison of the Year Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is determined by our interest rate spread (i.e., the difference between the yields earned on our interest-earning assets and the rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities) and the relative amounts (volume) of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income totaled $10.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 compared to $9.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income. Information is provided with respect to (i) effects on interest income and interest expense attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate); (ii) effects on interest income and interest expense attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume); and (iii) changes in rate/volume (change in rate multiplied by change in volume) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

Our net interest margin for the year ended June 30, 2006 declined to 1.51% compared to 1.87% for the year ended June 30, 2005. During the year ended June 30, 2006, interest income earned on loans and interest expense paid on deposits were influenced by a general decline in the historical spread between short term and long-term rates earned on U.S. Treasury securities. The continued flattening of the yield curve was the key factor for the decline in our net interest margin in fiscal 2006.
Interest Income. Interest income for the year ended June 30, 2006 totaled $32.7 million, an increase of $10.2 million, or 45.3%, compared to $22.5 million in interest income for the year ended June 30, 2005 primarily due to interest-earning asset growth. Average interest-earning assets for the year ended June 30, 2006 increased by $180.5 million compared to the year ended June 30, 2005 due to a $140.4 million increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio, primarily the result of our multifamily and single family loan purchases. Also, our average balance of mortgage-backed and investment securities increased $39.2 million during the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to 2005. We acquire adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities when we determined that the yield on whole loans is not high enough to justify the increased credit risk at the time of investment. 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 and the mortgage-backed securities offer increased liquidity compared to whole loans. Average interest earning balances associated with our stock of the FHLB increased by $3.4 million in the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to the year ended June 30, 2005 because our required minimum investment increased, in line with our increased advances from the FHLB. For the year ended June 30, 2006, the growth in average balances contributed additional interest income of $8.5 million, and the average rate increase resulted in a net $1.7 million increase in interest income. The average yield earned on our interest-earning assets increased to 4.96% for the year ended June 30, 2006, up from 4.69% for the same period in 2005 due primarily to the higher yields on our loan portfolio and our mortgage-backed securities portfolio. Higher market rates on new loans and mortgage-backed securities and rate increases on loans and mortgage-backed securities with contractual rate adjustments caused the portfolio yields to increase.
Interest Expense. Interest expense totaled $22.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2006; an increase of $9.3 million, compared to $13.5 million in interest expense during the year ended June 30, 2005. Average interest-bearing balances for the year ended June 30, 2006 increased $154.7 million compared to the same period in 2005, due to higher deposit totals from increased customer accounts and additional borrowings from the FHLB. The average interest-bearing balances of advances from the FHLB increased $71.5 million as primarily new 2-, 3-, and 4-year fixed-rate advances were added. For the year ended June 30, 2006, the growth in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities resulted in additional interest expense of $5.7 million, and increases in interest rates resulted in a net increase of $3.5 million in interest expense. The average rate paid on all of our interest-bearing liabilities increased to 3.84% for the year ended June 30, 2006 from 3.08% for the year ended June 30, 2005. The maturity of lower-rate term deposits and
34
the addition of new term deposits at higher rates caused the average term deposit rates to increase to 4.01% in fiscal 2006 from 3.34% in fiscal 2005. Similarly, new higher rate FHLB advances added during fiscal 2006 caused the average FHLB advance rate to increase to 3.86% in fiscal 2006 from 3.45% in fiscal 2005. These rate changes in fiscal 2006 were accompanied by an increase in the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing demand and savings accounts, which increased to 2.82% from 1.98%, and the average rate paid on other borrowings that increased to 7.02% in fiscal 2006 from 6.64% in fiscal 2005. The increase in the rate paid on checking and savings was due to competitive increases in our rates for money market savings accounts and interest-bearing checking accounts. During the fiscal 2006, the Federal Reserve increased the benchmark Fed Funds rate 200 basis points from 3.25% to 5.25%. Short-term rates, like the Fed Funds rate, influence deposit rates, which caused our average rate on term deposits to increase 66 basis points between fiscal 2006 and 2005. Long-term U.S. Treasury rates, which generally influence our mortgage market rates, did not move proportionally higher and the yield curve flattened during fiscal 2006. As a result, the rate on our loan portfolio increased only 19 basis points. Deposit market rates increased faster than loan rates in fiscal 2006 causing our net interest margin to decline to 1.51% from 1.87%.
Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses was $60,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006 and $370,000 for fiscal 2005. The provisions were made to maintain our allowance for loan losses at levels which management believed to be adequate. 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 June 30, 2006 or 2005. We believe that our history is limited and it is unlikely that every loan in our 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. Between June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, our net loans held for investment grew by $46.8 million. A provision of $60,000, or approximately 28 basis points on the net loan growth, was recorded as a general loan loss allowance during the year ended June 30, 2006. Loan growth was $131.6 million during fiscal 2005, significantly higher and resulting in a higher loan loss provision compared to fiscal 2006.

The increase of $0.4 million in fiscal 2006 was primarily due to the higher prepayment penalty income of $269,000 generally as a result of higher mortgage rates increasing loan prepayments. Mortgage banking income increased $195,000 due to a new multifamily correspondent loan program introduced in 2005. Banking fees and other income increased by $54,000 as a result of value increases in bank-owned life insurance policies on our executives and due to general increased fee income from a larger number of checking and savings accounts.

Non-interest expense totaled $5.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $1.0 million compared to fiscal 2005. Included in compensation expense for fiscal 2006 was $0.4 million of share-based compensation expense generally required as a result of the adoption of FASB 123R effective July 1, 2005. Professional services increased $0.2 million in fiscal 2006 compared to 2005 generally due to additional public company expense resulting after our IPO in March of 2005 which required increased audit, legal, investor relations and professional filing services. In June 2005, we relocated our corporate office to a new larger location, resulting in increased rent of approximately $0.1 million for fiscal 2006. Data processing and Internet expenses increased $0.1 million in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005 due to increased development costs for new websites and increases in service bureau charges associated with new deposit and loan customers. Other increases in general and administrative expense in fiscal 2006 related to increased costs associated with insurance, ATM re-imbursement expenses, and standard regulatory fees and assessments.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $2.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to $1.9 million for fiscal 2005. Our effective tax rates were 40.0% and 39.7% for the year ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the level of non-taxable income earned on our bank-owned life insurance.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006
Total assets increased by $209.3 million, or 28.4%, to $947.2 million at June 30, 2007 from $737.8 million at June 30, 2006. The increase in total assets resulted primarily from purchases of mortgage-backed securities, resulting in increases in mortgage-backed securities available for sale of $168.8 million. Total liabilities increased by $206.8 million, or 31.0%, to $874.4 million at June 30, 2007 from $667.6 million at June 30, 2006. The increase in total liabilities resulted from growth in deposits of $123.7 million and securities sold under repurchase agreements of $90.0 million.
Stockholders equity increased by $2.6 million, or 3.6%, to $72.8 million at June 30, 2007 from $70.2 million at June 30, 2006. The increase was the result of $3.3 million in net income and additional paid in capital of $0.7 million resulting from the exercise of stock options and stock option expense, less $1.1 million cost for the purchase of treasury shares as a result of our stock buy back program announced in 2005.
Our net deposit growth of $123.7 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 resulted from a $117.5 million net increase in time deposits and a $6.2 million net increase in checking and savings account balances. The increase in time deposits was the result of increased advertising and higher rates offered. The increase in checking and savings is the result of higher rates offered. The additional proceeds from our liability and equity growth were invested in originations and purchases of loans held for investment, primarily home equity and recreational vehicle loans, which totaled $63.2 million for the year ending June 30, 2007. Also, to supplement our loan activity, we purchased $364.3 million in mortgage-backed securities. We increased our purchases of mortgage-backed securities during the year ended June 30, 2007 because we believed the mortgage-backed securities provided better risk adjusted yields than certain single family whole loan originations or whole loan pools. We expect to continue to purchase mortgage-backed securities to supplement our loan portfolio in the next fiscal year.
36
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity. Our sources of liquidity include deposits, borrowings, payments and maturities of outstanding loans, sales of loans, maturities or gains on sales of investment securities and other short-term investments. While scheduled loan payments and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We generally invest excess funds in overnight deposits and other short-term interest-earning assets. We use cash generated through retail deposits, our largest funding source, to offset the cash utilized in lending and investing activities. Our short-term interest-earning investment securities are also used to provide liquidity for lending and other operational requirements. As an additional source of funds, we have three credit agreements. Bank of Internet USA can borrow up to 35% 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 loans and securities pledged at June 30, 2007, we had a total borrowing capacity of approximately $296.2 million, of which $227.3 million was outstanding and $68.9 million was available. At June 30, 2007, 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. Our future borrowings will depend on the growth of our lending operations and our exposure to interest rate risk.
We expect to continue to use deposits and advances from the FHLB as the primary sources of funding our future asset growth.
On December 16, 2004, we completed a transaction in which we formed a trust and issued $5.0 million of trust-preferred securities. The net proceeds from the offering were used to purchase approximately $5.2 million of junior subordinated debentures of our company with a stated maturity date of February 23, 2035. The debentures are the sole assets of the trust. The trust preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indenture. We have the right to redeem the debentures in whole (but not in part) on or after specific dates, at a redemption price specified in the indenture plus any accrued but unpaid interest through the redemption date. Interest accrues at the rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.4%, which was 7.76% at June 30, 2007, with interest to be paid quarterly starting in February 2005. We entered into this transaction to provide additional regulatory capital to our bank to support its growth.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, interest income earned on loans and interest expense paid on deposits were influenced by a general decline in the historical spread between short term and long-term rates earned on U.S. Treasury securities. If short-term rates continue to rise faster than long-term rates, our ability and replace maturing short-term deposits may be negatively impacted. We believe the historical spread between short term and long-term U.S. Treasury rates will increase over time. 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. At June 30, 2007, we had $13.5 million in loan commitments outstanding. Time deposits due within one year of June 30, 2007 totaled $258.4 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 with one year. We believe, however, based on past experience, a significant portion of our time deposits will remain with us. We believe we have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting interest rates offered.

Capital 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 banks assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our banks 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 OTS 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 June 30, 2007, our bank met all the capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.
At June 30, 2007, 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 banks capital levels. To maintain its status as a well capitalized financial institution under applicable regulations and to support additional growth, we will need to raise additional capital to support our banks further growth and to maintain its well capitalized status.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is defined as the sensitivity of income and capital to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and other relevant market rates or prices. The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Changes in interest rates can have a variety of effects on our business. In particular, changes in interest rates affect our net interest income, net interest margin, net income, the value of our securities portfolio, the volume of loans originated, and the amount of gain or loss on the sale of our loans.
We are exposed to different types of interest rate risk. These risks include lag, repricing, basis, prepayment and lifetime cap risk, each of which is described in further detail below:
Lag/Repricing Risk. Lag risk results from the inherent timing difference between the repricing of our adjustable rate assets and our liabilities. Repricing risk is caused by the mismatch of repricing methods between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Lag/repricing risk can produce short-term volatility in our net interest income during periods of interest rate movements even though the effect of this lag generally balances out over time. One example of lag risk is the repricing of assets indexed to the monthly treasury average, or the MTA. The MTA index is based on a moving average of rates outstanding during the previous 12 months. A sharp movement in interest rates in a month will not be fully reflected in the index for 12 months resulting in a lag in the repricing of our loans and securities based on this index. We expect more of our interest-bearing liabilities will mature or reprice within one year than will our interest-earning assets, resulting in a one year negative interest rate sensitivity gap (the difference between our interest rate sensitive assets maturing or repricing within one year and our interest rate sensitive liabilities maturing or repricing within one year, expressed as a percentage of total interest-earning assets). In a rising interest rate environment, an institution with a negative gap would generally be expected, absent the effects of other factors, to experience a greater increase in its cost of liabilities relative to its yield on assets, and thus a decrease in its net interest income.
Basis Risk. Basis risk occurs when assets and liabilities have similar repricing timing but repricing is based on different market interest rate indices. Our adjustable rate loans that reprice are directly tied to indices based upon U.S. Treasury rates, LIBOR, Eleventh District Cost of Funds and the prime rate. Our deposit rates are not directly tied to these same indices. Therefore, if deposit interest rates rise faster than the adjustable rate loan indices and there are no other changes in our asset/liability mix, our net interest income will likely decline due to basis risk.
Prepayment Risk. Prepayment risk results from the right of customers to pay their loans prior to maturity. Generally, loan prepayments increase in falling interest rate environments and decrease in rising interest rate environments. In addition, prepayment risk results from the right of customers to withdraw their time deposits before maturity. Generally, early withdrawals of time deposits increase during rising interest rate environments and decrease in falling interest rate environments. When estimating the future performance of our assets and liabilities, we make assumptions as to when and how much of our loans and deposits will be prepaid. If the assumptions prove to be incorrect, the asset or liability may perform differently than expected. In the last three fiscal years, the mortgage industry and our bank have experienced high rates of loan prepayments due to historically low interest rates. Market rates began rising in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and, if they continue, mortgage loan prepayments are expected to decrease. In addition, if that occurs, we may experience increased rates of customer early withdrawals of their time deposits.
Lifetime Cap Risk. Our adjustable rate loans have lifetime interest rate caps. In periods of rising interest rates, it is possible for the fully indexed interest rate (index rate plus the margin) to exceed the lifetime interest rate cap. This feature prevents the loan from repricing to a level that exceeds the caps specified interest rate, thus adversely affecting net interest income in periods of relatively high interest rates. On a weighted average basis, our adjustable rate single family loans at June 30, 2007 had lifetime rate caps that were 500 basis points or more greater than the note rates at June 30, 2007. If market rates rise by more than the interest rate cap, we will not be able to increase these customers loan rates above the interest rate cap.
39
The principal objective of our asset/liability management is to manage the sensitivity of net income to changing interest rates. Asset/liability management is governed by policies reviewed and approved annually by our board of directors. Our board of directors has delegated the responsibility to oversee the administration of these policies to the asset/liability committee, or ALCO. The interest rate risk strategy currently deployed by ALCO is to use primarily natural balance sheet hedging (as opposed to derivative hedging) or to avoid holding loans that ALCO views as higher risk. Specifically, we attempt to match the effective duration of our assets with our borrowings. To reduce the repricing risk associated with holding certain adjustable loans, which typically are fixed for the first three to five years, we have matched estimated maturities by obtaining long-term three to five year advances from the FHLB. Other examples of ALCO policies designed to reduce our interest rate risk include limiting the premiums paid to purchase mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities. This policy addresses mortgage prepayment risk by capping the yield loss from an unexpected high level of mortgage loan prepayments. Once a quarter, ALCO members report to our board of directors the status of our interest rate risk profile.
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 institutions 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.

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.
Our net interest margin for the year ended June 30, 2007 declined to 1.36% compared to 1.51% for the year ended June 30, 2006. During the year ended June 30, 2007, interest income earned on loans and interest expense paid on deposits were influenced by a general decline in the historical spread between short term and long-term rates earned on U.S. Treasury securities. If short-term rates continue to rise faster than long-term rates, our net interest income may continue to be negatively impacted. We believe that the flattening of the yield curve will reverse; however, until this happens, it will be more difficult to increase our net interest margin.
41
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 intend to report changes in the fair value of this instrument in current-period earnings. We have no market risk-sensitive instruments held for trading purposes. Our exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by management.
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 OTS. At March 31, 2007 (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 and 200 basis points 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 March 31, 2007:

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. At June 30, 2007 the boards established minimum was 6.5%, meaning that the net present value after a theoretical instantaneous increase or decrease in interest rates must be greater than 6.5%. Based upon the analysis above, the banks net present value after a theoretical 300 basis point increase was 6.58%, 8 basis points above the board of directors minimum requirement of 6.5%. The analysis above shows a decline in the net present value of 118 basis points, a sensitivity measure between the base case and the theoretical instantaneous 200 basis point increase. This sensitivity measure was a decline of 120 basis points between the base case and the theoretical instantaneous 200 basis point increase for the analysis presented at the year ended June 30, 2006. Our sensitivity measure has increased from time-to-time based upon market conditions and ALCO decisions as to the mix of our asset and liability terms.
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.

Factors that May Affect Our Performance
Our limited operating history makes our future prospects and financial performance unpredictable, which may impair our ability to manage our business and your ability to assess our prospects.
We commenced banking operations in July 2000. We remain subject to the risks inherently associated with new business enterprises in general and, more specifically, the risks of a new financial institution and, in particular, a new Internet-based financial institution. Our prospects are subject to the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development, including the risk that we will not be able to implement our business strategy. In addition, we have a limited history upon which we can rely in planning and making the critical decisions that will affect our future operating results. Similarly, because of the relatively immature state of our business, it will be difficult to evaluate our prospects. Accordingly, our financial performance to date may not be indicative of whether our business strategy will be successful.
Our inability to manage our growth could harm our business.
We anticipate that our asset size and deposit base will continue to grow over time, perhaps significantly. To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we will be required to, among other things:
| improve existing and implement new transaction processing, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls; |
| maintain effective credit scoring and underwriting guidelines; and |
| expand our employee base and train and manage this growing employee base. |
If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
43
In a rising interest rate environment, an institution with a negative interest rate sensitivity gap generally would be expected, absent the effects of other factors, to experience a greater increase in its cost of liabilities relative to its yield on assets, and thus a decrease in its net interest income.
Our profitability depends substantially on our net interest income, which could be negatively affected by changes in interest rates. Net interest income is the difference between the income we earn on interest-earning assets, such as mortgage loans and investment securities, and the interest we pay on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and other borrowings. Because of the differences in both maturities and repricing characteristics of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in interest rates do not produce equivalent changes in interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Accordingly, fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect our net interest income and therefore profitability. We may not be able to manage our interest rate risk.
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond our control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Federal Reserve Board, or the FRB. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, will influence not only the interest we receive on our loans and investment securities and the amount of interest we pay on deposits, it will also affect our ability to originate loans and obtain deposits and our costs in doing so. When interest rates rise, the cost of borrowing also increases. Our business model is predicated on our operating on levels of net interest income that other banks might find unacceptable or unsustainable, as we typically pay interest rates on deposits in the higher end of the spectrum and often charge lower interest rates and fees than those charged by competitors. Accordingly, changes in levels of market interest rates could materially and adversely affect our net interest income, asset quality, loan origination volume, business and prospects.
We face strong competition for customers and may not succeed in implementing our business strategy.
Our business strategy depends on our ability to remain competitive. There is strong competition for customers from existing banks and other types of financial institutions, including those that use the Internet as a medium for banking transactions or as an advertising platform. Our competitors include:
| large, publicly-traded, Internet-based banks, as well as smaller Internet-based banks; |
| brick and mortar banks, including those that have implemented websites to facilitate online banking; and |
| traditional banking institutions such as thrifts, finance companies, credit unions and mortgage banks. |
Some of these competitors have been in business for a long time and have name recognition and an established customer base. Most of our competitors are larger and have greater financial and personnel resources. In order to compete profitably, we may need to reduce the rates we offer on loans and investments and increase the rates we offer on deposits, which actions may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
To remain competitive, we believe we must successfully implement our business strategy. Our success depends on, among other things:
| having a large and increasing number of customers who use our bank for their banking needs; |
| our ability to attract, hire and retain key personnel as our business grows; |
| our ability to secure additional capital as needed; |
| the relevance of our products and services to customer needs and demands and the rate at which we and our competitors introduce or modify new products and services; |
| our ability to offer products and services with fewer employees than competitors; |
| the satisfaction of our customers with our customer service; |
| ease of use of our websites; and |
44
| our ability to provide a secure and stable technology platform for financial services that provides us with reliable and effective operational, financial and information systems. |
If we are unable to implement our business strategy, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
A natural disaster or recurring energy shortage, especially in California, could harm our business.
We are based in San Diego, California, and approximately 44.1% of our total loan portfolio was secured by real estate located in California at June 30, 2007. In addition, the computer systems that operate our Internet websites and some of their back-up systems are located in San Diego, California. Historically, California has been vulnerable to natural disasters. Therefore, we are susceptible to the risks of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, wildfires, floods and mudslides. Natural disasters could harm our operations directly through interference with communications, including the interruption or loss of our websites, which would prevent us from gathering deposits, originating loans and processing and controlling our flow of business, as well as through the destruction of facilities and our operational, financial and management information systems. A natural disaster or recurring power outages may also impair the value of our largest class of assets, our loan portfolio, which is comprised substantially of real estate loans. Uninsured or underinsured disasters may reduce borrowers ability to repay mortgage loans. Disasters may also reduce the value of the real estate securing our loans, impairing our ability to recover on defaulted loans through foreclosure and making it more likely that we would suffer losses on defaulted loans. California has also experienced energy shortages, which, if they recur, could impair the value of the real estate in those areas affected. Although we have implemented several back-up systems and protections (and maintain business interruption insurance), these measures may not protect us fully from the effects of a natural disaster. The occurrence of natural disasters or energy shortages in California could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Many of our mortgage and consumer loans, particularly recreational vehicle loans and home equity loans are generally unseasoned, and defaults on such loans would harm our business.
At June 30, 2007, our multifamily residential loans were $325.8 million or 64.6% of our total loans and our commercial real estate loans were $11.3 million, or 2.2% of our total loans. The payment on such loans is typically dependent on the cash flows generated by the projects, which are affected by the supply and demand for multifamily residential units and commercial property within the relative market. If the market for multifamily residential units and commercial property experiences a decline in demand, multifamily and commercial borrowers may suffer losses on their projects and be unable to repay their loans. At June 30, 2007, our recreational vehicle loans were $42.3 million, or 8.4% of our total loans and our home equity loans were $$18.8 million or 3.7% of our total loans. Our recreational vehicle lending and our home equity lending programs were started during fiscal 2007, thus we have limited experience with defaults on these loans.
If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings, capital adequacy and overall financial condition may suffer materially.
Our loans are generally secured by multifamily and, to a lesser extent, commercial and single-family real estate properties, each initially having a fair market value generally greater than the amount of the loan secured. However, even though our loans are typically secured, the risk of default, generally due to a borrowers inability to make scheduled payments on his or her loan, is an inherent risk of the banking business. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, we make various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate serving as collateral for the repayment of our loans. Defaults by borrowers could result in losses that exceed our loan loss reserves. We have originated or purchased many of our loans recently, so we do not have sufficient repayment experience to be certain whether the allowance for loan losses we have established is adequate. We may have to establish a larger allowance for loan losses in the future if, in our judgment, it is necessary. Any increase in our allowance for loan losses will increase our expenses and consequently may adversely affect our profitability, capital adequacy and overall financial condition.
45
Declining real estate values, particularly in California, could reduce the value of our loan portfolio and impair our profitability and financial condition.
Substantially all of the loans in our portfolio are secured by real estate. At June 30, 2007, approximately 44.08% of our total loan portfolio was secured by real estate located in California. If there is a significant decline in real estate values, especially in California, the collateral for our loans will become less valuable. If such an event were to occur, we may experience charge-offs at a greater level than we would otherwise experience, as the proceeds resulting from foreclosure may be significantly lower than the amounts outstanding on such loans. Declining real estate values frequently accompany periods of economic downturn or recession and increasing unemployment, all of which can lead to lower demand for mortgage loans of the types we originate. These changes would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
We frequently purchase loans in bulk or pools. We may experience lower yields or losses on loan pools because the assumptions we use when purchasing loans in bulk may not always prove correct.
From time to time, we purchase loans in bulk or pools. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005, we purchased $43.0 million, $165.9 million, and $163.4 million, respectively, in single family and multifamily mortgage loans. When we determine the purchase price we are willing to pay to purchase loans in bulk, management makes certain assumptions about, among other things, how fast borrowers will prepay their loans, the real estate market and our ability to collect loans successfully and, if necessary, to dispose of any real estate that may be acquired through foreclosure. When we purchase loans in bulk, we perform certain due diligence procedures and we purchase the loans subject to customary limited indemnities. To the extent that our underlying assumptions prove to be inaccurate or the basis for those assumptions change (such as an unanticipated decline in the real estate market), the purchase price paid for pools of loans may prove to have been excessive, resulting in a lower yield or a loss of some or all of the loan principal. For example, in the past, we have purchased pools of loans at a premium and some of the loans were prepaid before we expected. Accordingly, we earned less interest income on the purchase than expected. To date, none of the loan pools that we purchased at a premium have resulted in a net investment loss. Our success in growing through purchases of loan pools depends on our ability to price loan pools properly and on general economic conditions in the geographic areas where the underlying properties of our loans are located.
Acquiring loans through bulk purchases may involve acquiring loans of a type or in geographic areas where management may not have substantial prior experience. We may be exposed to a greater risk of loss to the extent that bulk purchases contain such loans.
Our success depends in large part on the continuing efforts of a few individuals. If we are unable to retain these personnel or attract, hire and retain others to oversee and manage our company, our business could suffer.
Our success depends substantially on the skill and abilities of our senior management team, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, Gary Lewis Evans, our Chief Financial Officer, Andrew J. Micheletti, our Chief Credit Officer, Kenn Darling, and our Chief Technology Officer, Michael Berengolts, each of whom performs multiple functions that might otherwise be performed by separate individuals at larger banks, as well as our Chairman Jerry F. Englert and our Vice Chairman Theodore C. Allrich. These individuals may not be able to fulfill their responsibilities adequately, and they may not remain with us. The loss of the services of any of these individuals or other key employees, whether through termination of employment, disability or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, our ability to grow and manage our growth depends on our ability to continue to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate highly skilled executive, technical, managerial, sales and marketing, customer service and professional personnel. The implementation of our business plan and our future success will depend on such qualified personnel. Competition for such employees is intense, and there is a risk that we will not be able to successfully attract, assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel. If we fail to attract and retain the necessary technical, managerial, sales and marketing and customer service personnel, as well as experienced professionals, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
46
We depend on third-party service providers for our core banking technology, and interruptions in or terminations of their services could materially impair the quality of our services.
We rely substantially upon third-party service providers for our core banking technology and to protect us from bank system failures or disruptions. This reliance may mean that we will not be able to resolve operational problems internally or on a timely basis, which could lead to customer dissatisfaction or long-term disruption of our operations. Our operations also depend upon our ability to replace a third-party service provider if it experiences difficulties that interrupt operations or if an essential third-party service terminates. If these service arrangements are terminated for any reason without an immediately available substitute arrangement, our operations may be severely interrupted or delayed. If such interruption or delay were to continue for a substantial period of time, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We are exposed to risk of environmental liability with respect to properties to which we take title.
In the course of our business, we may foreclose and take title to real estate and could be subject to environmental liabilities with respect to those properties. We may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage, personal injury, investigation and clean-up costs incurred by these parties in connection with environmental contamination or may be required to investigate or clean up hazardous or toxic substances or chemical releases at a property. The costs associated with investigation or remediation activities could be substantial. In addition, if we are the owner or former owner of a contaminated site, we may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the property. If we become subject to significant environmental liabilities, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
The U.S. governments monetary policies or changes in those policies could have a major effect on our operating results, and we cannot predict what those policies will be or any changes in such policies or the effect of such policies on us.
Any increase in prevailing interest rates due to changes in monetary policies may adversely affect banks such as us, whose liabilities tend to reprice quicker than their assets. The monetary policies of the FRB, affected principally through open market operations and regulation of the discount rate and reserve requirements, have had major effects upon the levels of bank loans, investments and deposits, and prevailing interest rates. For example, in 2004 through 2006, the Federal Open Market Committee increased the Fed Funds rate causing the cost of short-term deposits to increase faster than the long-term rate earned on loans. The resulting inverted yield curve in 2007 has placed pressure on the profitability of all financial institutions because of the resulting contraction of net interest margins. It is not possible to predict the nature or effect of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.
We have risks of systems failure and security risks, including hacking and identity theft.
The computer systems and network infrastructure utilized by us and others could be vulnerable to unforeseen problems. This is true of both our internally developed systems and the systems of our third-party service providers. Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect computer equipment against damage from fire, power loss, telecommunication failure or similar catastrophic events. Any damage or failure that causes an interruption in our operations could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), which is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. SAB 108 provides guidance on how the effects of prior-year uncorrected financial statement misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 requires public companies to quantify misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) and balance sheet (iron curtain) approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. If prior year errors that had been previously considered immaterial now are considered material based on either approach, no restatement is required so long as management properly applied its previous approach and all relevant facts and circumstances were considered. Adjustments considered immaterial in prior years under the method previously used, but now considered material under the dual approach required by SAB 108, are to be recorded upon initial adoption of SAB 108. The adoption of SAB 108 had no effect on the Companys financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2007.

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment to FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This Statement permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instruments, clarifies which instruments are subject to the requirements of Statement No. 133, and establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets and other items. The new standard is effective for financial assets acquired or issued after the beginning of the entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This Statement provides the following: 1) revised guidance on when a servicing asset and servicing liability should be recognized; 2) requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; 3) permits an entity to elect to measure servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value each reporting date and report changes in fair value in earnings in the period in which the changes occur; 4) upon initial adoption, permits a onetime reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities for securities which are identified as offsetting the entity's exposure to changes in the fair value of servicing assets or liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value; and 5) requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional footnote disclosures. This standard is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 with the effects of initial adoption being reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of this standard.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material effect on the financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. This issue requires that a liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants employment or retirement. The required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-5, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance - Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance). This issue requires that a policyholder consider contractual terms of a life insurance policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. It also requires that if the contract provides for a greater surrender value if all individual policies in a group are surrendered at the same time, that the surrender value be determined based on the assumption that policies will be surrendered on an individual basis. Lastly, the issue discusses whether the cash surrender value should be discounted when the policyholder is contractually limited in its ability to surrender a policy. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 9. | Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure |
None.
Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures |
(a) As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, our management concluded its evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that we maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding managements control objectives.
(b) During the evaluation referred to in Item 9A(a) above, we have identified no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The Companys 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of BofI Holding, Inc.
San Diego, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bofl Holding, Inc. and subsidiary (the Company) as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BofI Holding, Inc. and subsidiary as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of BofI Holding, Inc.
San Diego, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows of Bofl Holding, Inc. and subsidiary (the Company) for the year ended June 30, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of BofI Holding, Inc. and subsidiary for the year ended June 30, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007, 2006 AND 2005
(Dollars in thousands, except earnings per share)
1. | ORGANIZATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation and ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BofI Holding, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Bank of Internet USA (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
BofI Holding, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 6, 1999 for the purpose of organizing and launching an Internet-based savings bank. The Bank of Internet USA (the Bank), which opened for business over the Internet on July 4, 2000, is subject to regulation and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), its primary regulator. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures the Banks deposit accounts up to the maximum allowable amount.
Use of EstimatesIn preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, and the fair value of certain financial instruments.
BusinessThe Bank provides financial services to consumers through the Internet. The Banks deposit products are demand accounts, savings accounts and time deposits marketed to consumers located in all 50 states. The Banks primary lending products are residential single family and multifamily mortgage loans. The Banks business is primarily concentrated in the state of California and is subject to the general economic conditions of that state.
Cash FlowsCash and cash equivalents include cash due from banks, money market mutual funds and federal funds sold, all of which have original maturities within 90 days. Net cash flows are reported for customer deposit transactions.
Restrictions on CashFederal Reserve Board regulations require depository institutions to maintain certain minimum reserve balances, which do not earn interest. Included in cash were balances required by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco of $738 and $889 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Interest Rate RiskThe Banks assets and liabilities are generally monetary in nature and interest rate changes have an effect on the Banks performance. The Bank decreases the effect of interest rate changes on its performance by striving to match maturities and interest sensitivity between loans and deposits. A significant change in interest rates could have a material effect on the Banks results of operations.
LoansLoans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred purchase premiums and discounts, deferred loan origination fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Premiums and discounts on loans purchased as well as loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method.
Interest income on loans is generally discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
F-9
Loans Held for SaleLoans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. The Bank generally sells its loans with the servicing released to the buyer. Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded as mortgage banking income, based on the difference between sales proceeds and carrying value.
Allowance for Loan LossesThe allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level estimated to provide for probable incurred 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. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in managements judgment, should be charged off.
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 loans 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. General loan loss reserves for consumer loans are calculated by grouping each loan by credit score (e.g. FICO) at origination and applying an estimated allowance rate to each group. 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.
DerivativesAll derivative instruments are recorded at their fair values, with changes in fair values included in earnings. If derivative instruments are designated as hedges of fair values, both the change in the fair value of the hedge and the hedged item are included in current earnings. Fair value adjustments related to cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction is reflected in earnings. Ineffective portions of hedges are reflected in earnings as they occur.
SecuritiesDebt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.
F-10
Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and the Companys ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
Furniture, Equipment and SoftwareFixed asset purchases in excess of five hundred dollars are capitalized and recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the assets useful lives or the lease term.
Income TaxesIncome tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. The Company records a valuation allowance when management believes it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Earnings Per ShareEarnings per share (EPS) are presented under two formats: basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net income (after deducting dividends on preferred stock) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income (after deducting dividends on preferred stock) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year, plus the impact of dilutive potential common shares, such as stock options and stock warrants. The impact on earnings per share from the convertible preferred stock is antidilutive.
Stock-Based CompensationIn December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)), which requires the fair value of stock options to be measured and recognized in earnings. This Statement replaces Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123) and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (APB No. 25) which permitted the recognition of compensation expense using the intrinsic value method. The Company was a public entity when it adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on July 1, 2005 using the modified-prospective method, which required the Company to recognize compensation expense in fiscal 2006 and forward, but did not require the restatement of prior years. The following table summarizes the proforma expense and the impact on earnings and earnings per share for the year ended June 30, 2005, had the minimum value method of accounting for employee stock based compensation been applied to all grants prior to July 1, 2005. See Note 12 Stock-Based Compensation for further details on the Companys stock option plans and the related calculations of compensation expense.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stockThe Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value.
Bank Owned Life InsuranceThe Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Company owned life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value, or the amount that can be realized.
Loan Commitments and Related Financial InstrumentsFinancial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Comprehensive IncomeComprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.
Loss ContingenciesLoss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.
Dividend RestrictionBanking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the bank to the holding company.
Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsFair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
Operating SegmentsWhile the chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
New Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), which is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. SAB 108 provides guidance on how
F-12
the effects of prior-year uncorrected financial statement misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 requires public companies to quantify misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) and balance sheet (iron curtain) approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. If prior year errors that had been previously considered immaterial now are considered material based on either approach, no restatement is required so long as management properly applied its previous approach and all relevant facts and circumstances were considered. Adjustments considered immaterial in prior years under the method previously used, but now considered material under the dual approach required by SAB 108, are to be recorded upon initial adoption of SAB 108. The adoption of SAB 108 had no effect on the Companys financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2007.
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment to FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This Statement permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instruments, clarifies which instruments are subject to the requirements of Statement No. 133, and establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets and other items. The new standard is effective for financial assets acquired or issued after the beginning of the entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This Statement provides the following: 1) revised guidance on when a servicing asset and servicing liability should be recognized; 2) requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; 3) permits an entity to elect to measure servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value each reporting date and report changes in fair value in earnings in the period in which the changes occur; 4) upon initial adoption, permits a onetime reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities for securities which are identified as offsetting the entity's exposure to changes in the fair value of servicing assets or liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value; and 5) requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional footnote disclosures. This standard is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 with the effects of initial adoption being reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of this standard.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material effect on the financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. This issue requires that a liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants employment or retirement. The required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-5, Accounting for Purchases of Life InsuranceDetermining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance). This issue requires that a policyholder consider contractual terms of a life insurance policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. It also requires that if the contract provides for a greater surrender value if all
F-13
individual policies in a group are surrendered at the same time, that the surrender value be determined based on the assumption that policies will be surrendered on an individual basis. Lastly, the issue discusses whether the cash surrender value should be discounted when the policyholder is contractually limited in its ability to surrender a policy. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, (SFAS #159). This statement allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities (as well as certain non-financial instruments that are similar to financial instruments) at fair value. The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. The statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Earlier adoption of the Statement is permitted as of the beginning of an entitys fiscal year, provided the choice to early adopt is made within 120 days of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and the entity has not yet issued financial statements for any interim period of that fiscal year. We expect to adopt SFAS #159 on July 1, 2008.

There were 12 securities that were in a continuous loss position at June 30, 2007 for a period of more than 12 months. There were 9 securities that were in a continuous loss position at June 30, 2006 for a period of more 12 months.
Management believes that the estimated fair value of the securities disclosed above is dependent upon market interest rates. Although the fair value will fluctuate as market interest rates move, the majority of the Companys investment portfolio consists of mortgaged-backed securities from GNMA and FNMA. If held to maturity, the contractual principal and interest payments of the securities are expected to be received in full. No loss in principal is expected over the lives of the securities. Although not all of the securities are classified as held to maturity, the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until they mature or for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in fair value. Thus, the unrealized losses are not other-than-temporary. The determination of whether a decline in market value is other-than-temporary is necessarily a matter of subjective judgment.

At June 30, 2007 and 2006, approximately 44.08% and 45.9%, respectively, of the Companys loans are collateralized with real-property collateral located in California and therefore exposed to economic conditions within this market region.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has granted related party loans collateralized by real property to principal officers, directors and their affiliates and employees. There were no new related party loans granted during the year ended June 30, 2007, one in 2006, and none in 2005.

At June 30, 2007, the Company had $42,327 in loan principal outstanding and $1,711 of unamortized premium from RV loans originated through its banking relationship with the RV sales company of the major shareholder. In March 2007, the Bank also entered into a website marketing agreement with another company of the major shareholder to offer the Banks loan and deposit products to RV customers. Payments to the company by the Bank for customer acquisitions through the website agreement have not been significant as of June 30, 2007.
The Company had $228 in impaired loans on nonaccrual as of June 30, 2007. The Company had no loans on nonaccrual and no impaired loans as of June 30, 2006, nor during the years ended June 30 2006 or 2005.
The Companys loan portfolio consists of approximately 18.32% fixed interest rate loans and 81.68% adjustable interest rate loans as of June 30, 2007. The Companys adjustable rate loans are generally based upon indices using U.S. Treasuries, London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), and 11th District cost of funds.
The Bank originates and purchases mortgage loans with terms that may include repayments that are less than the repayments for fully amortizing loans, including interest only loans, option adjustable-rate mortgages, and other loan types that permit payments that may be smaller than interest accruals. Through June 30, 2007, the net amount of deferred interest on these loan types was not material to the financial position or operating results of the Company.
At June 30, 2007 and 2006, purchased loans serviced by others were $303,526 or 60.20% and $355,476 or 67.10%, respectively, of the loan portfolio.

At June 30, 2007, a total of $43.0 million of FHLB advances include agreements that allow the FHLB, at its option, to put the advances back to the Company after specified dates. Under the terms of the puttable advances, the Company could be required to repay all of the principal and accrued interest before the maturity date. The weighted-average remaining contractual maturity period of the $43.0 million in advances is 3.4 years and the weighted average remaining period before such advances could be put to the Company is 0.8 years.
The Companys advances from FHLB were collateralized by certain real estate loans with an aggregate unpaid balance of $139,900 and $156,400 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, by the Companys investment in capital stock of FHLB of San Francisco and by its investment in mortgage-backed securities. Generally, each advance is payable in full at its maturity date with a prepayment penalty for fixed rate advances.
The maximum amounts advanced from the FHLB were $254,216, $236,177, and $172,562 during the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

The net proceeds from the offering were used to purchase $5,155 of junior subordinated debentures (Debentures) of the Company with a stated maturity date of February 23, 2035. The Debentures are the sole assets of the trust. The trust preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indenture. The Company has the right to redeem the Debentures in whole (but
F-20
not in part) on or after specific dates, at a redemption price specified in the indenture plus any accrued but unpaid interest through the redemption date. Interest accrues at the rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.4% (7.76% at June 30, 2007), with interest paid quarterly starting February 16, 2005.
On February 15, 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate cap, with a notional amount of $5,000 and a term of four years expiring in March 2009, to lower the interest payments on the Debentures should the three-month LIBOR increase above 5.25%. The Company designated this derivative as a free-standing instrument and reports changes in the fair value of this instrument in current-period earnings. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the fair value of the interest rate cap was $ 15 and $56, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded a $32 unrealized loss and a $37 unrealized gain to operating results for the change in the fair value of the interest rate cap.

Convertible Preferred StockOn October 28, 2003, the Company commenced a private placement of Series A6% Cumulative Nonparticipating Perpetual Preferred Stock, Convertible through January 1, 2009 (the Convertible Preferred Stock). The rights, preferences and privileges of the Convertible Preferred Stock were established in a certificate filed by the Company with the State of Delaware on October 27, 2003, and generally include the holders right to a six percent (6%) per annum cumulative dividend payable quarterly, the Companys right to redeem some or all of the outstanding shares at par after five years and the holders right to convert all or part of the face value of his Convertible Preferred Stock into the Companys common stock at $10.50 per share, increasing in three increments to $18.00 per share after January 1, 2008. The conversion price is currently $15.50 per share. The Companys right to redeem the Convertible Preferred Stock is perpetual and starts immediately after issuance (with a premium payable to the holder starting at 5% in the first year and declining to 1% in the fifth year). The holders right to convert to the Companys common stock starts immediately after purchase and expires on January 1, 2009.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company issued $6,750 of Convertible Preferred Stock representing 675 shares at $10,000 face value, less issuance costs of $113. The Company has declared and paid dividends to holders of its Convertible Preferred Stock totaling $312, $360, and $405 for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. In January 2006, 150 shares of preferred stock were converted into common shares. As a result, the Company reduced preferred stock by $1,474 and increased additional paid in capital by $1,474. In January 2007, 10 shares of preferred stock were converted into common shares. As a result, the Company reduced preferred stock by $100 and increased additional paid in capital by $100.
12. | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION |
The Company has two stock incentive plans, the 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated, and the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the Plans), which provide for the granting of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock awards, stock appreciation rights and other awards to employees, directors and consultants. The Companys policy is to use authorized, but unissued, shares to satisfy stock option exercises and stock awards.
1999 Stock Option PlanIn July 1999, the Companys Board of Directors approved the 1999 Stock Option Plan and in August 2001, the Companys shareholders approved an amendment to the 1999 Plan such that 15% of the outstanding shares of the Company would always be available for grants under the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan is designed to encourage selected employees and directors to improve operations and increase profits, to accept or continue employment or association with the Company through participation in the growth in the value of the common stock. The 1999 Plan provisions require that option exercise prices be not less than fair market value per share of common stock on the option grant date for incentive and nonqualified options. The options issued under the 1999 Plan generally vest in between three and five years. Option expiration dates are established by the plan administrator but may not be later than 10 years after the date of the grant.
2004 Stock Incentive PlanIn October 2004, the Companys Board of Directors and the stockholders approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, plus the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 1999 Stock Option Plan will be equal to 14.8% of the Companys outstanding common stock at any time. However, the number of shares available for issuance as restricted stock grants may not exceed 5% of the Companys outstanding common stock (subject to the overall maximum of 14.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock). Each share of restricted stock that is issued under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and vests will be deemed to be the issuance of three shares for purposes of calculating the overall maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plans but not for purposes of calculating the above 5% limit applicable to the issuance of restricted stock. At June 30, 2007, there were a maximum of 1,223,603 option shares available for issuance under the limits of the Plans described above.
Stock Options Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company accounted for the Plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123. No stock option compensation cost was recognized in the income statements as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date.
Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized for the period includes compensation cost for all options granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 1, 2005, and all options granted subsequent to
F-24
January 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statements No. 123 and 123(R), respectively. Under this transition method, the Company was not required to restate its operating results for periods ending prior to July 1, 2005 for additional compensation cost associated with the change to fair value recognition.
The Companys income before income taxes and net income for the year ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 included stock option compensation cost of $397 and $357 respectively, which represented $0.03 impact on both basic and dilutive earnings per share. At June 30, 2007, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested grants aggregated to $818 and is expected to be recognized in future periods as follows:

The fair value of each option awarded under the Plans is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black- Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average grant-date fair value and the assumptions used in the valuations for each period are summarized as follows:

Prior to March 15, 2005, the Company was a nonpublic entity and used the minimum value method, which excludes a volatility factor in estimating the value of stock options in accordance with SFAS 123. The Company was a public entity at the time SFAS 123(R) became effective. After the Company became publicly traded on March 15, 2005, expected volatilities have been based on the historical volatility of the Companys common stock and the common stock volatility of similar banks with a longer history of public trading. The weighted-average expected life of options granted is based upon an estimate of the life, as prescribed in SAB 107. A forfeiture rate of 1.5% was estimated during the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 based upon past experience. The risk free interest rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield for the expected term of the option at the time of the grant.

15. | OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ACTIVITIES |
Credit-Related Financial InstrumentsThe Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
F-28
The Companys exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company had commitments to fund or purchase loans of $13,468 and $2,546. At June 30, 2007, $11,255 of the commitments to fund were fixed rate loans with a weighted average rate of 7.43% and terms ranging from five to twenty years.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on managements credit evaluation of the customer.
16. | MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS |
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Banks financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to tangible assets (as defined). As of June 30, 2007, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of June 30, 2007, the most recent filing date with the OTS, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Banks categorization. The Banks actual capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 are presented in the table.

17. | EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS |
Employment Agreements In July 2003, the Company entered into employment agreements with three of the Companys executive officers. Under these agreements, if the Company terminates one or more of the executive officers for any reason other than cause, then the Company must (a) pay that officer normal compensation in effect through the date of termination; (b) pay that officer a severance payment equal to 12 times his then-current base monthly salary, payable at the option of the Board of Directors either in one lump sum or in 12 equal installments; and (c) continue group insurance benefits for that officer for one year from termination or until that officer commences work with a new employer providing group medical insurance benefits to that officer. In addition, if the executive officers employment is terminated for any reason other than for cause, or that officers employment is terminated due to death or disability, then all stock options currently held by such officer will fully vest as of the termination date. Each agreement automatically renews in one-year terms unless terminated by either Bank of Internet USA or the officer. In addition, each agreement specifies bonuses for each executive officer, which are contingent upon the Companys financial performance and the executive officers continued employment with the Company. The Company incurred bonus expense of $85, $88, and $378 for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, in connection with these executive officer bonuses.
401(k) PlanThe Company has a 401(k) Plan whereby substantially all of its employees participate in the Plan. Employees may contribute up to 15% of their compensation subject to certain limits based on federal tax laws. For the year ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005 expense attributable to the plan amounted to $1, $2, and $2, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plans Effective August 1, 2003, the Company adopted the Bank of Internet USA Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans (Deferred Compensation Plans) which cover designated key management employees and directors who elect to participate. The Deferred Compensation Plans allow eligible employees and directors to elect to defer up to 100% of their compensation, including commissions, bonuses and director fees. Although the Deferred Compensation Plans provide that the Company may make discretionary contributions to a participants account, no such discretionary contributions have been made through the period ending June 30, 2007. Participant deferrals are fully vested at all times, and discretionary contributions, if any, will be subject to a vesting schedule specified by the Company. Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plans may elect to invest their accounts in either of two accounts: (1) which earns interest based upon the prime rate; or (2) which mirrors the performance of the book value of the Companys common stock. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administrates the Deferred Compensation Plans. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, there was $438 and $250 deferred in connection with the Deferred Compensation Plans.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:
Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes, and if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. Fair value of loans held for sale is based on market quotes. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material.
