NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)


1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BofI Holding, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, BofI Federal Bank (the "Bank" and collectively with BofI Holding, Inc., the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements, presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Results for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") with respect to interim financial reporting. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended June 30, 2014 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Securities . Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has both 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. Trading securities refer to certain types of assets that banks hold for resale at a profit at fair value. Increases or decreases in the fair value of trading securities are recognized in earnings as they occur. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.

Gains and losses on securities sales are based on a comparison of sales proceeds and the amortized cost of the security sold using the specific identification method. Purchases and sales are recognized on the trade date. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized or accreted using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. The Company's portfolios of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities are reviewed quarterly for other-than-temporary impairment. In performing this review, management considers (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (3) the impact of changes in market interest rates on the market value of the security and (4) whether the Company intends to sell or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position before the Company recovers the security's amortized cost. If either of these criteria for (4) is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized in earnings. Alternatively, if the criteria for (4) is not met, the amount of impairment recognized in earnings is limited to the amount related to credit losses, while impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis.

Loans . Loans 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.

Recognition of interest income on all portfolio segments 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.

Loans Held for Sale. U.S government agency ("agency") loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value. Net unrealized gains and losses are recognized through the income statement. 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. Non-agency loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

Loans that were originated with the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future (loans held in portfolio) but which have been subsequently designated as being held for sale for risk management or liquidity needs are carried at the lower of cost or fair value calculated on an individual loan by loan basis.

There may be times when loans have been classified as held for sale and for some reason cannot be sold. Loans transferred to a long-term-investment classification from held-for-sale are transferred at the lower of cost or market value on the transfer date. Any difference between the carrying amount of the loan and its outstanding principal balance is recognized as an adjustment to yield by the interest method. A loan cannot be classified as a long-term investment unless the Bank has both the ability and the intent to hold the loan for the foreseeable future or until maturity.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The 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 management's judgment, should be charged off. See Note 5 of these financial statement footnotes and the financial statement footnotes for the year ended June 30, 2014 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

FAIR VALUE


Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities that are actively traded in an exchange or over-the-counter market and are highly liquid, such as, among other assets and securities, certain U.S. treasury and other U.S. government debt.

Level 2:

Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets include securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models such as discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.


When available, the Company generally uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, in which case the items are classified in Level 1. In some cases where a market price is available, the Company will make use of acceptable practical expedients (such as matrix pricing) to calculate fair value, in which case the items are classified in Level 2.


The Company considers relevant and observable market prices in its valuations where possible. The frequency of transactions, the size of the bid-ask spread and the nature of the participants are some of the factors the Company uses to help determine whether a market is active and orderly or inactive and not orderly. Price quotes based upon transactions that are not orderly are not considered to be determinative of fair value and should be given little, if any, weight in measuring fair value.

Table of Contents


If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates, credit spreads, housing value forecasts, etc. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each instrument is generally classified:

Securities-trading. Trading securities are recorded at fair value. The trading portfolio consists of two different issues of floating-rate debt securities collateralized by pools of bank trust preferred securities. Recent liquidity and economic uncertainty have made the market for collateralized debt obligations less active or inactive. As quoted market prices are not available, the Level 3 fair values for these securities are determined by the Company utilizing industry-standard tools to calculate the net present value of the expected cash flows available to the securities from the underlying assets. The Company's expected cash flows are calculated for each security and include the impact of actual and forecasted bank defaults within each collateral pool as well as structural features of the security's tranche such as lock outs, subordination and overcollateralization. The forecast of underlying bank defaults in each pool is based upon a quarterly financial update including the trend in non-performing assets, the allowance for loan losses and the underlying bank's capital ratios. Also a factor is the Company's loan loss experience in the local economy in which the bank operates. At March 31, 2015 , the Company's forecast of cash flows for both securities includes actual and forecasted defaults totaling 25.9% of all banks in the collateral pools, compared to 20.9% of the banks actually in default. The expected cash flows reflect the Company's best estimate of all pool losses which are then applied to the overcollateralization reserve and the subordinated tranches to determine the cash flows. The Company selects a discount rate margin based upon the spread between U.S. Treasury rates and the market rates for active credit grades for financial companies. The discount margin when added to the U.S. Treasury rate determines the discount rate, reflecting primarily market liquidity and interest rate risk since expected credit loss is included in the cash flows. At March 31, 2015 , the Company used a weighted average discount margin of 450 basis points above U.S. Treasury rates to calculate the net present value of the expected cash flows and the fair value of its trading securities.

The Level 3 fair values determined by the Company for its trading securities rely heavily on management's assumptions as to the future credit performance of the collateral banks, the impact of the global and regional economic activity, the timing of forecasted defaults and the discount rate applied to cash flows. The fair value of the trading securities at March 31, 2015 is sensitive to an increase or decrease in the discount rate. An increase in the discount margin of 100 basis points would have reduced the total fair value of the trading securities and decreased net income before income tax by $885 . A decrease in the discount margin of 100 basis points would have increased the total fair value of the trading securities and increased net income before income tax by $1,040 .

Securities-available-for-sale and held-to-maturity . Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value and consist of residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") issued by U.S. agencies, non-agencies, collateralized loan obligations, and municipals. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost and consist of RMBS issued by U.S. agencies, RMBS issued by non-agencies, and municipals. Fair value for U.S. agency securities is generally based on quoted market prices of similar securities used to form a dealer quote or a pricing matrix. There continues to be significant illiquidity in the market for RMBS issued by non-agencies, impacting the availability and reliability of transparent pricing. As orderly quoted market prices are not available, the Level 3 fair values for these securities are determined by the Company utilizing industry-standard tools to calculate the net present value of the expected cash flows available to the securities from the underlying mortgage assets. The Company computes Level 3 fair values for each non-agency RMBS in the same manner (as described below) whether available-for-sale or held-to-maturity.

To determine the performance of the underlying mortgage loan pools, the Company estimates prepayments, defaults, and loss severities based on a number of macroeconomic factors, including housing price changes, unemployment rates, interest rates and borrower attributes such as credit score and loan documentation at the time of origination. For each security, the Company inputs a projection of monthly default rates, loss severity rates and voluntary prepayment rates for the underlying mortgages for the remaining life of each security to determine the expected cash flows. The projections of default rates are derived by the Company from the historic default rate observed in the pool of loans collateralizing the security, increased by and decreased by the forecasted increase or decrease in the national unemployment rate. The projections of loss severity rates are derived by the Company from the historic loss severity rate observed in the pool of loans, increased by (and decreased by) the forecasted decrease or increase in the national home price appreciation ("HPA") index. The largest factors influencing the Company's modeling of the monthly default rate are unemployment and housing price appreciation. The most updated national unemployment rate announced prior to the end of the period covered by this report (reported for February 2015) was 5.5% , down from the high of 10.2% in October 2009. Consensus estimates for unemployment are that the rate will continue to decline. Going forward, the Company is projecting lower monthly default rates. The range of loss severity rates applied to each default used in the Company's projections at March 31,

2015 are from 15.0% up to 66.7% based upon individual bond historical performance. The default rates and the severities are projected for every non-agency RMBS security held by the Company and will vary monthly based upon the actual performance of the security and the macroeconomic factors discussed above.

To determine the discount rates used to compute the present value of the expected cash flows for these non-agency RMBS securities, the Company separates the securities by the borrower characteristics in the underlying pool. Specifically, "prime" securities generally have borrowers with higher FICO scores and better documentation of income. "Alt-A" securities generally have borrowers with a little lower FICO and a little less documentation of income. "Pay-option ARMs" are Alt-A securities with borrowers that tend to pay the least amount of principal (or increase their loan balance through negative amortization). The Company calculates separate discount rates for prime, Alt-A and Pay-option ARM non-agency RMBS securities using market-participant assumptions for risk, capital and return on equity. The range of annual default rates used in the Company's projections at March 31, 2015 are from 0.8% up to 21.1% with prime securities tending toward the lower end of the range and Alt-A and Pay-option ARMs tending toward the higher end of the range. The Company applies its discount rates to the projected monthly cash flows which already reflect the full impact of all forecasted losses using the assumptions described above. When calculating present value of the expected cash flows at March 31, 2015 , the Company computed its discount rates as a spread between 241 and 881 basis points over the interpolated swap curve with prime securities tending toward the lower end of the range and Alt-A and Pay-option ARMs tending toward the higher end of the range.

Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale at fair value are primarily single-family and multifamily residential loans. The fair value of residential loans held for sale is determined by pricing for comparable assets or by existing forward sales commitment prices with investors.

Impaired Loans. Impaired loans are loans which are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrowers or the collateral pledged. The accrual of interest income has been discontinued for impaired loans. The impaired loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The Company assesses loans individually and identifies impairment when the loan is classified as impaired, has been restructured, or management has serious doubts about the future collectibility of principal and interest, even though the loans may currently be performing. The fair value of an impaired loan is determined based on an observable market price or current appraised value of the underlying collateral. The fair value of impaired loans with specific write-offs or allocations of the allowance for loan losses are generally based on recent real estate appraisals or internal valuation analyses consistent with the methodology used in real estate appraisals and include other third-party valuations and analysis of cash flows. These appraisals and analyses are updated at least on an annual basis. The Company primarily obtains real estate appraisals and in the rare cases where an appraisal cannot be obtained, the Company performs an internal valuation analysis. These appraisals and analyses may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and income approaches. The sales comparison approach uses at least three recent similar property sales to help determine the fair value of the property being appraised. The income approach is calculated by taking the net operating income generated by the collateral property of the rent collected and dividing it by an assumed capitalization rate. Adjustments are routinely made in the process by the appraisers to account for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. When measuring the fair value of the impaired loan based upon the projected sale of the underlying collateral, the Company subtracts the costs expected to be incurred for the transfer of the underlying collateral, which includes items such as sales commissions, delinquent taxes and insurance premiums. These adjustments to the estimated fair value of non-performing loans may result in increases or decreases to the provision for loan losses recorded in current earnings. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification for the inputs for determining fair value.

Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Vehicles . Non-recurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned ("OREO") are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third-party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. The Company initially records all mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") at fair value and accounts for MSRs at fair value during the life of the MSR, with changes in fair value recorded through current period earnings. Fair value adjustments encompass market-driven valuation changes as well as modeled amortization involving the run-off of value that occurs due to the passage of time as individual loans are paid by borrowers. Market expectations about loan duration, and correspondingly the expected term of future servicing cash flows, may vary from time to time due to changes in expected prepayment activity, especially when interest rates rise or fall. Market expectations of increased loan prepayment speeds may negatively impact the fair value of the single family MSRs. Fair value is also dependent on the discount rate used in calculating present value, which is imputed from observable market activity and market participants and results in Level 3 classification. Management reviews and adjusts the discount rate on an ongoing basis. An increase in the discount rate would reduce the estimated fair value of the MSRs asset.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives. Level 3 fair values for mortgage banking derivatives are either based upon prices in active secondary markets for identical securities or based on quoted market prices of similar assets used to form a dealer quote or a pricing matrix. If no such quoted price exists, the fair value of a commitment is determined by quoted prices for a similar commitment or commitments, adjusted for the specific attributes of each commitment. These fair values are then adjusted for items such as fallout and estimated costs to originate the loan.


The Company's valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  While management believes the Company's valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with or, in some cases, more conservative than other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the relevant reporting date.

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

In certain instances, the range can be significant due to small sample sizes and in some cases the property being valued having limited comparable sales with similar characteristics at the time the current appraisal is conducted.

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value are described as follows: Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed rate loans, deposits, borrowings or subordinated debt and for variable rate loans, deposits, borrowings or subordinated debt with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. A discussion of the methods of valuing trading securities, available for sale securities and loans held for sale can be found earlier in this footnote. The carrying amount of stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") approximates the estimated fair value of this investment. The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered material.

2.

Private sponsors of securities collateralized primarily by pools of 1-4 family residential first mortgages. Primarily super senior securities secured by prime, Alt-A or pay-option ARM mortgages.


The Company's non-agency RMBS available-for-sale portfolio with a total fair value of $27,977 at March 31, 2015 consists of twenty-one different issues of super senior securities with a fair value of $18,856 ; one senior structured whole loan security with a fair value of $8,912 and three mezzanine z-tranche securities with a fair value of $209 collateralized by seasoned prime and Alt-A first-lien mortgages. The Company acquired its mezzanine z-tranche securities in fiscal 2009 and accounts for them by measuring the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the purchase price (accretable yield) and recognizes interest income over the remaining life of the security.


The non-agency RMBS held-to-maturity portfolio with a carrying value of $153,531 at March 31, 2015 consists of 77 different issues of super senior securities totaling $151,374 and one senior-support security with a carrying value of $2,157 . Debt securities with evidence of credit quality deterioration since issuance and for which it is probable at purchase that the Company will be unable to collect all of the par value of the security are accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality ("ASC Topic 310-30"). Under ASC Topic 310-30, the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the purchase price is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the security. The Company has one senior support security that it acquired at a significant discount that evidenced credit deterioration at acquisition and is accounted for

Table of Contents


under ASC Topic 310-30. For a cost of $17,740 the Company acquired the senior support security with a contractual par value of $30,560 and accretable and non-accretable discounts that were projected to be $9,015 and $3,805 , respectively. Since acquisition, repayments from the security have been received more rapidly than projected at acquisition, but expected total payments have declined, resulting in a determination that the security was other-than-temporarily impaired and a charge of $572 was recorded for the fiscal 2014 year and no charge was incurred for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 . At March 31, 2015 the security had a remaining contractual par value of zero and amortizable and non-amortizable premium are currently projected to be zero and $2,472 , respectively.

The current face amounts of debt securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity that were pledged to secure borrowings at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014 were $39,840 and $67,605 respectively.

The securities with unrealized losses, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position were as follows:

At March 31, 2015 , non-agency RMBS with a total carrying amount of $101,134 were determined to have cumulative credit losses of $20,343 of which $707 was recognized in earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2015 . This quarter's other-than-temporary impairment of $707 is related to four non-agency RMBS with a total carrying amount of $2,475 . The Company measures its non-agency RMBS in an unrecognized loss position at the end of the reporting period for other-than-temporary impairment by comparing the present value of the cash flows currently expected to be collected from the security with its amortized cost basis. If the calculated present value is lower than the amortized cost, the difference is the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of its debt securities. The excess of present value over the fair value of the security (if any) is the non-credit component only if the Company does not intend to sell the security and will not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. The credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment is recorded as a loss in earnings and the non-credit component as a charge to other comprehensive income, net of the related income tax benefit.

To determine the cash flow expected to be collected and to calculate the present value for purposes of testing for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company utilizes the same industry-standard tool and the same cash flows as those calculated for Level 3 fair values as discussed in Note 3 – Fair Value. The discount rates used to compute the present value of the expected cash flows for purposes of testing for the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment are either the implicit rate calculated in each of the Company's securities at acquisition or the last accounting yield. The Company calculates the implicit rate at acquisition based on the contractual terms of the security, considering scheduled payments (and minimum payments in the case of pay-option ARMs) without prepayment assumptions. Once the discount rate (or discount margin in the case of floating rate securities) is calculated as described above, the discount is used in the industry-standard model to calculate the present value of the cash flows.

The gross gains and losses realized through earnings upon the sale of available-for-sale securities were as follows:

The balance of single family warehouse loans was $164,325 at March 31, 2015 and $92,920 at June 30, 2014 . The remainder of the balance is attributable to single family lender finance loans.


Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company's goal is to maintain the allowance for loan losses (sometimes referred to as the "allowance") at a level that is considered to be commensurate with estimated probable incurred credit losses in the portfolio. Although the adequacy of the allowance is reviewed quarterly, management performs an ongoing assessment of the risks inherent in the portfolio. While the Company believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at March 31, 2015 , future additions to the allowance will be subject to continuing evaluation of estimated and known, as well as inherent risks in the loan portfolio.

Allowance for Loan Loss Disclosures. The assessment of the adequacy of the Company's 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, collateral values and charge-off history.

The Company provides general loan loss reserves for its recreational vehicle ("RV") and automobile ("auto") loans based upon the borrower credit score and the Company's loss experience to date. The allowance for loan loss for the RV and auto loan portfolio at March 31, 2015 was determined by classifying each outstanding loan according to semi-annually refreshed FICO score and providing loss rates. The Company had $12,361 of RV and auto loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: FICO greater than or equal to 770: $2,972 ; 715 – 769: $4,145 ; 700 – 714: $1,099 ; 660 – 699: $2,192 and less than 660: $1,953 .

The Company provides general loan loss reserves for mortgage loans based upon the size and class of the mortgage loan and the loan-to-value ratio ("LTV") at date of origination. The Company divides the LTV analysis into two classes, separating the purchased loans from the loans underwritten directly by the Company. Based on historical performance, the Company concluded that originated loans require lower estimated loss rates than purchased loans. The allowance for each class is determined by dividing the outstanding unpaid balance for each loan by the loan-to-value and applying a loss rate. The LTV groupings for each significant mortgage class are as follows:

The Company had $2,690,133 of single family mortgage portfolio loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: LTV less than or equal to 60%: $1,477,673 ; 61% – 70%: $992,540 ; 71% – 80%: $192,275 ; and greater than 80%: $27,645 .

The Company had $1,197,611 of multifamily mortgage portfolio loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: LTV less than or equal to 55%: $526,403 ; 56% – 65%: $388,781 ; 66% – 75%: $266,949 ; 76% – 80%: $14,619 and greater than 80%: $859 .

The Company had $21,730 of commercial real estate loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: LTV less than or equal to 50%: $10,997 ; 51% – 60%: $6,863 ; 61% – 70%: $3,870 ; and 71% – 80%: $0 .

The Company's lender finance portfolio consists of business loans well-collateralized by residential real estate. The Company's commercial & industrial portfolio consists of business loans well-collateralized by business assets. The Company's other portfolio consists of other consumer loans. The Company allocates its allowance for loan loss for these asset types based on qualitative factors which consider the value of the collateral and the financial position of the issuer of the receivables.

The Company has no loans over 90 days delinquent that are still accruing interest at March 31, 2015 . Approximately 76.02% of the Company's non-performing loans are single family first mortgages already written down to 57.75% in aggregate, of the original appraisal value of the underlying properties. Generally these loans have experienced longer delays completing the foreclosure process due to the poor servicing practices of one of our seller servicers.

From time to time the Company modifies loan terms temporarily for borrowers who are experiencing financial stress. These loans are performing and accruing and will generally return to the original loan terms after the modification term expires.


Approximately 14.95% of our non-performing loans at March 31, 2015 were considered TDRs, compared to 19.60% at June 30, 2014 . Borrowers that make timely payments after TDRs are considered non-performing for at least six months . Generally, after six months of timely payments, those TDRs are reclassified from the non-performing loan category to the performing loan category and any previously deferred interest income is recognized.


The Company classifies these loans as performing loans temporarily modified as TDR and are included in impaired loans as follows:

The Company's loan modifications primarily included single family, multifamily and commercial loans of which included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate or delinquent property taxes that were paid by the Bank and either repaid by the borrower over a one year period or capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the loan. The Company's loan modifications also included RV loans in which borrowers were able to make interest-only payments for a period of six months to one year which then reverted back to fully amortizing.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans based on credit risk. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings.

Pass. Loans classified as pass are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral in a timely manner.

Special Mention . Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.

Substandard . Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful . Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

The Company reviews and grades loans following a continuous loan review process, featuring coverage of all loan types and business lines at least quarterly. Continuous reviewing provides more effective risk monitoring because it immediately tests for potential impacts caused by changes in personnel, policy, products or underwriting standards.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has three equity incentive plans, the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan ("2014 Plan"), the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan ("2004 Plan") and the 1999 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the "Plans"), which provide for the granting of non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other awards to employees, directors and consultants.

1999 Stock Option Plan . In July 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 1999 Stock Option Plan ("1999 Plan") and in August 2001, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the 1999 Plan such that 15% of the outstanding shares of the Company would always be available for grants under the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan is designed to encourage selected employees and directors to improve operations and increase profits, and 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 requires that option exercise prices be not less than fair market value per share of common stock on the option grant date for incentive and non-qualified 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.

In November 2007, the shareholders of the Company approved the termination of the 1999 Plan. No new option awards will be made under the 1999 Plan and the outstanding awards under the 1999 Plan will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the 1999 Plan.

2004 Stock Incentive Plan . In October 2004, the Company's Board of Directors and the stockholders approved the 2004 Plan. In November 2007, the 2004 Plan was amended and approved by the Company's stockholders. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2004 Plan is 14.8% of the Company's outstanding common stock measured from time to time. In addition, the number of shares of the Company's common stock reserved for issuance will also automatically increase by an additional 1.5% on the first day of each of four fiscal years starting July 1, 2007. With the stockholders approving the 2014 Plan in October 2014, no further awards will be made under the 2004 Plan and the 2004 Plan will remain in effect only so long as awards made thereunder remain outstanding.

2014 Stock Incentive Plan . In September and October 2014, the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders approved the 2014 Plan, respectively. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2014 Plan is 920,000 .

Stock Options . At March 31, 2015 and at June 30, 2014 , all expense related to stock option grants has been fully recognized.

A summary of stock option activity under the Plans during the periods indicated is presented below:

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable under the Plans at March 31, 2015 was $8,984 and $8,984 , respectively.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units . Employees and directors are eligible to receive grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units. The Company determines stock-based compensation expense using the fair value method. The fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units is equal to the closing sale price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 , the Company granted 162,149 and 132,357 restricted stock units, to employees and directors, respectively. Restricted stock unit awards ("RSUs") granted during these quarters vest over three years, one-third on each anniversary date, except for any RSUs granted to our CEO, which vest one-fourth on each fiscal year end.

The Company's income before income taxes and net income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 2014 included stock award expense was $1,772 and $1,071 , with total income tax benefit of $728 and $ 443 , respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 , stock awards expense was $4,787 and $3,146 , with total income tax benefit of $1,967 and $1,272 respectively. The Company recognizes compensation expense based upon the grant-date fair value divided by the vesting and the service period between each vesting date. At March 31, 2015 , unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested awards aggregated to $16,263 and is expected to be recognized in future periods as follows:

EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock that would then share in the Company's earnings.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Credit-Related Financial Instruments . The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

At March 31, 2015 , the Company had commitments to originate $177,052 in fixed rate loans and $107,839 in variable rate loans, totaling an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $284,891 . Our fixed rate loan commitments to originate had rates ranging from 2.88% to 8.27% . At March 31, 2015 , the Company also had commitments to sell $57,331 in fixed rate loans and $3,929 in variable rate loans, totaling an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $61,260 .

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer.

Deposits . In December 2014 the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement to assume approximately $125,000 of FDIC-insured deposits including individual checking, money market savings, and CD accounts. Under the Agreement, the Bank will receive approximately $125,000 in cash at the closing date and will assume deposits at par with no purchase premium. The

deposit transfer transaction is subject to prior approval by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and to other standard closing conditions. The closing of the transaction is targeted for the second calendar quarter of 2015.


9.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has granted related party loans collateralized by real property to officers, directors and their affiliates that are considered to be insiders by regulation. There were no new related party loans granted under the provisions of the employee loan program and no refinances of existing loans during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , and no new loans and no refinances of existing loans during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 .

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion provides information about the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, off balance sheet items, contractual obligations and capital resources of BofI Holding, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company"). This information is intended to facilitate the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our financial condition and the results of our operations. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014 , and the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this report.

Some matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and as such, may involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as "estimate," "project," "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "believe," "will," or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the environment in which we operate and projections of future performance. Forward-looking statements are inherently unreliable and actual results may vary. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements include economic conditions, changes in the interest rate environment, changes in the competitive marketplace, risks associated with credit quality and other risk factors discussed under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Factors That May Affect Our Performance" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014 , which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All written and oral forward-looking statements made in connection with this report, which are attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing information.

General

Our Company is the holding company for BofI Federal Bank (the "Bank"), a diversified financial services company with approximately $5.5 billion in assets that provides consumer and business banking products through its branchless, low-cost distribution channels and affinity partners. The Bank has deposit and loan customers nationwide including consumer and business checking, savings and time deposit accounts and financing for single family and multifamily residential properties, small-to-medium size businesses in target sectors, and selected specialty finance receivables. The Bank generates fee income from consumer and business products including fees from loans originated for sale and transaction fees earned from processing payment activity. BofI Holding, Inc.'s common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and is a component of the Russell 2000 ® Index and the S&P SmallCap 600 ® Index.


Our Bank is a federal savings bank wholly-owned by our Company and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). Our Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

We distribute our deposit products through a wide range of retail distribution channels, and our deposits consist of demand, savings and time deposits accounts. We distribute our loan products through our retail, correspondent and wholesale channels, and the loans we retain are primarily first mortgages secured by single family real property and by multifamily real property. Our mortgage-backed securities consist primarily of mortgage pass-through securities issued by government-sponsored entities and non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations and pass-through mortgage-backed securities issued by private sponsors. We believe our flexibility to adjust our asset generation channels has been a competitive advantage allowing us to avoid markets and products where credit fundamentals are poor.


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.


37

Table of Contents


Our significant accounting policies and practices are described in greater detail in Note 1 to our June 30, 2014 audited consolidated financial statements and under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year end June 30, 2014 .


Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this report includes non-GAAP financial measures such as core earnings. We define net income without the after-tax impact of realized and unrealized securities gains and losses as adjusted earnings ("core earnings"), a non-GAAP measurement, which we believe provides useful information about the Bank's operating performance. Excluding the securities gains and losses provides investors with an understanding of our Bank's core lending and mortgage banking business. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious as their use of such measures. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this report enhance investors' understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for GAAP basis financial measures.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 , we had net income of $21.1 million compared to net income of $14.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 . Net income attributable to common stockholders was $21.0 million or $1.35 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $14.5 million or $1.00 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 . For the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , we had net income of $58.3 million compared to net income of $39.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 . Net income attributable to common stockholders was $58.1 million or $3.81 per diluted share for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $39.7 million or $2.76 per diluted share for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 .


Other key comparisons between our operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:


Net interest income increased $15.0 million and $47.1 million due to a 43.4% and 49.3% increase in average earning assets in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 , respectively. These increases were primarily the result of growth in our loan and deposit portfolios. Our net interest margin decreased 4 and 2 basis points in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to March 31, 2014 , respectively. The overall rate on interest earning assets was lower by 14 basis points and 17 basis points for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to March 31, 2014 , respectively, primarily due to a decrease in market interest rates for new loans and borrower repayments of higher rate loans. This reduction on the asset side was partially offset by an 11 basis point and 16 basis point reduction in average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to March 31, 2014 , respectively. The reduction of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and addition of lower rate demand and savings deposits were the primary reason for the decrease in average rates paid for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to March 31, 2014 .


Non-interest income increased $3.2 million and increased $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 , respectively. The $3.2 million increase in non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily the result of an increase in mortgage banking income of $2.0 million , a $0.8 million increase in banking service fees and other income and a $0.5 million increase in gain on sale – other. The increase of $2.6 million in non-interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to March 31, 2014 was primarily the result of a $2.8 million increase in mortgage banking income and a $1.7 million increase in banking service fees and other income, which was partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million in gain on sale – other.


Non-interest expense increased $6.0 million and $12.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 , respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 salaries and related expenses increased $3.5 million due to the overall increase in staff. Advertising and promotional expense increased $0.8 million as a result of increased deposit marketing and other general and administrative expense increased $0.5 million . For the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014 salaries and related expenses increased $8.2 million and advertising and promotional expense increased $1.7 million as a result of increased mortgage banking activity and deposit marketing. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional services of $1.0 million primarily attributable to a lower volume of legal fees.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $50.7 million and $143.7 million , an increase of 42.1% and a increase of 48.7% compared to net interest income of $35.7 million and $96.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 , respectively. The growth of net interest income for both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 is primarily due to net loan portfolio growth, primarily funded by checking and savings deposit growth.

Total interest and dividend income during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 increased 39.3% to $62.9 million and 44.0% to $176.8 million , respectively, compared to $45.2 million and $122.7 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 , respectively. The increase in interest and dividend income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily attributable to growth in average earning assets from loan originations, primarily in the single family and multifamily portfolios. The average balance of loans increased 52.1% and 58.4% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 . The increase in interest income on loans was partially offset by lower rates earned on loans and securities.

Total interest expense was $12.2 million and $33.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 , an increase of $2.7 million or 28.9% and of $7.0 million or 26.8% as compared with the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2014 , respectively. The average funding rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 2014 decreased by 11 and 16 basis points while average interest-bearing liabilities grew 41.4% and 46.6% , respectively. The decrease in the average cost of funds rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily due to a shift in our funding mix into our lower cost checking and savings deposits and away from higher cost time deposits and borrowings.

Net interest margin, defined as annualized net interest income divided by average earning assets, decreased by 4 basis points to 3.85% and by 2 basis points to 3.90% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 , respectively. The decreases in net interest margin were primarily the result of the above discussed decline in loan and securities average rates, which was more than the decline in the overall cost of funds.

Provision for Loan Losses

The loan loss provision was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 . The loan loss provision was $8.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2014 . The increase in the provision for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 is primarily due to additions to the allowance as a result of growth in the loan portfolio. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on the factors discussed under "Financial Condition-Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Loss".

Non-interest income increased $3.2 million to $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 . The increase was primarily the result of increases of $2.0 million in mortgage banking income, $0.8 million in banking service fees and other income and $0.5 million in gain on sale – other. Non-interest income increased $2.6 million to $20.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014 . The increase was primarily the result of increases of $2.8 million in mortgage banking income, $1.7 million in banking service fees and other income, partially offset by a decrease in gain on sale – other of $1.6 million . The increases in mortgage banking income were primarily due to an increased volume of Agency mortgage originations resulting from declines in the 30-year mortgage rates and increased refinance activity.

Included in gain on sale – other are sales of structured settlement annuity and lottery receivables. We engage in the wholesale and retail purchase of state lottery prize and structured settlement annuity payments. These payments are high credit quality deferred payment receivables having a state lottery commission or investment grade (top two tiers) insurance company payor. The Bank originates contracts for the retail purchase of such payments and classifies these under the heading of Factoring in the loan portfolio. Factoring yields are typically higher than mortgage loan rates. Typically, the gain received upon sale of these payment streams is greater than the gain received from an equivalent amount of mortgage loan sales. Since 2013, pools of structured settlement and lottery receivables have been originated for sale depending upon management's assessment of interest rate risk, liquidity, and offers containing favorable terms and are classified on our balance sheet as loans held for sale.

Non-interest expense, which is comprised primarily of compensation, professional services, occupancy, data processing and internet expenses, advertising and promotional and other operating expenses, was $20.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 , up from $14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 . Non-interest expense was $56.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , up from $44.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 . The increase in non-interest expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily due to the expansion of the Bank, specifically in areas related to lending, business banking and regulatory compliance.

Total salaries and related costs increased $3.5 million to $11.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 , compared to $7.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 due to increased staffing levels to support growth in deposit and lending activities. Total salaries and related costs increased $8.2 million to $31.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $23.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 due to an increase in the Bank's staffing for lending, business banking and regulatory compliance. Our staff increased to 438 from 339, or 29.2% between March 31, 2015 and 2014 .

Professional services, which include accounting and legal fees, increased $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to last year and decreased $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to last year. Professional services for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased due to additional information technology consulting expenses and decreased for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 primarily due to reduced legal expenses and increased insurance reimbursement.

Data processing and internet expense increased $0.2 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 , compared to the three and nine month periods in fiscal 2014 , respectively. The increase was primarily due to growth in the number of customer accounts and enhancements to the Bank's core processing system.

Advertising and promotional expense increased $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 , compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 . Advertising and promotional expense increased $1.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014 . The increases were primarily due to online, email and direct leads expense related to agency mortgage banking and deposit marketing.

The cost of our Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and OCC standard regulatory charges increased $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 , compared to the three and nine month period last year, respectively. The increase was due to the overall growth of the Bank's liabilities. As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premiums to the FDIC.

Other general and administrative costs increased $0.5 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 , compared to the three and nine month periods in the previous fiscal year. The increases were primarily related to costs supporting loan production.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates (income tax provision divided by net income before income tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were 41.11% and 41.39% , respectively. Our effective income tax rates for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were 41.09% and 40.44% , respectively. The changes in the tax rates are the result of changes in state tax allocations and the expiration of a California state enterprise zone tax credit at December 31, 2013.

The Bank originates some interest only loans with terms that include repayments that are less than the repayments for fully amortizing loans. Also, the Bank previously purchased option adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans and other loan types that permit payments that may be smaller than interest accruals. The Bank's lending guidelines for interest only loans are adjusted for the increased credit risk associated with these loans by requiring borrowers with such loans to borrow at LTVs that are lower than standard amortizing ARM loans and by calculating debt to income ratios for qualifying borrowers based upon a fully amortizing payment, not the interest only payment. The Bank monitors and performs reviews of interest only loans. Adverse trends reflected in the Company's delinquency statistics, grading and classification of interest only loans would be reported to management and the Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2015 , the Company had $644.3 million of interest only mortgage loans and $5.0 million of option adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Through March 31, 2015 , the net amount of deferred interest on these loan types was not material to the financial position or operating results of the Company.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Loss

Non-performing Assets

Non-performing loans are comprised of loans past due 90 days or more on nonaccrual status and other nonaccrual loans.

Total non-performing assets increased from $20.5 million at June 30, 2014 to $36.0 million at March 31, 2015 . As a percentage of total assets, non-performing assets increased from 0.46% at June 30, 2014 to 0.65% at March 31, 2015 . The non-performing assets increase of approximately $15.5 million , was primarily the result of two single family residential loans that were placed on non-performing status during the second fiscal quarter of 2015 and remained non-performing throughout the quarter ended March 31, 2015.


A troubled debt restructuring is a concession made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties, typically permanent or temporary modifications of principal and interest payments or an extension of maturity dates. When a loan is delinquent and classified as a troubled debt restructuring no interest is accrued until the borrower demonstrates over time (typically six months ) that it can make payments. When a loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring and is on nonaccrual, it is considered non-performing and included in the table above. The Bank had performing troubled debt restructurings with outstanding balances totaling $0.2 million at March 31, 2015 and $2.4 million at June 30, 2014 .

Allowance for Loan Losses

We are committed to maintaining the allowance for loan losses at a level that is considered to be commensurate with estimated and known risks in the portfolio. Although the adequacy of the allowance is reviewed quarterly, our management performs an ongoing assessment of the risks inherent in the portfolio. While we believe that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at March 31, 2015 , future additions to the allowance will be subject to continuing evaluation of estimated and known, as well as inherent risks in the loan portfolio.

The assessment of the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses is based upon a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including levels and trends of past due and nonaccrual loans, change in volume and mix of loans, collateral values and charge-off history.

We provide general loan loss reserves for our RV and auto loans based upon the borrower credit score at the time of origination and the Company's loss experience to date. The allowance for loan loss for the RV and auto loan portfolio at March 31, 2015 was determined by classifying each outstanding loan according to the semi-annually refreshed FICO score and providing loss rates. The Company had $12.4 million of RV and auto loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: FICO greater than or equal to 770: $3.0 million ; 715 – 769: $4.1 million ; 700 – 714: $1.1 million ; 660 – 699: $2.2 million and less than 660: $2.0 million .

We experienced increased charge-offs of RV loans in fiscal 2007 through 2011, due to the nationwide recession. Our portfolio of RV loans is expected to decrease in the future because the Bank ceased originating RV loans in fiscal 2009.

The Company provides general loan loss reserves for mortgage loans based upon the size and class of the mortgage loan and the loan-to-value ratio ("LTV") at date of origination. The allowance for each class is determined by dividing the outstanding unpaid balance for each loan by the loan-to-value and applying quantitative and qualitative loss rates. The LTV groupings for each significant mortgage class are as follows:

The Company had $2,690.1 million of single family mortgage portfolio loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: LTV less than or equal to 60%: $1,477.7 million ; 61% – 70%: $992.5 million ; 71% – 80%: $192.3 million ; greater than 80%: $27.6 million .

The Company had $1,197.6 million of multifamily mortgage portfolio loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: LTV less than or equal to 55%: $526.4 million ; 56% – 65%: $388.8 million ; 66% – 75%: $266.9 million ; 76% – 80%: $14.6 million and greater than 80%: $0.9 million .

The Company had $21.7 million of commercial real estate loan balances subject to general reserves as follows: LTV less than or equal to 50%: $11.0 million ; 51% – 60%: $6.9 million ; 61% – 70%: $3.9 million ; and 71% – 80%: $0.0 million .

The weighted average LTV percentage for our entire real estate loan portfolio was 56% at March 31, 2015 . We believe that this percentage is lower and more conservative than most banks, which results in lower average mortgage loan charge-offs when compared to many other comparable banks.

While we anticipate that such level of charge-offs will continue into the future, given the uncertainties surrounding the improvement of the U.S. economy, we may experience an increase in the relative amount of charge-offs and we may be required to increase our loan loss provisions in the future to provide a larger loss allowance for one or more of our loan types.

The loan loss provision was $2.9 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 , respectively. The loan loss provision was $8.3 million and $3.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 , respectively. The increase for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 in the loan loss provision was primarily the result of growth in the loan portfolio. We believe that the lower average LTV in the Bank's mortgage loan portfolio will continue to result in future lower average mortgage loan charge-offs when compared to many other comparable banks. Our general loan

loss reserves are based upon historical losses and expected future trends. The resolution of the Bank's existing other real estate owned and non-performing loans should not have a significant adverse impact on our operating results.

Investment Securities

Total investment securities were $408.7 million as of March 31, 2015 , compared with $470.6 million at June 30, 2014 . During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , we purchased three debt securities for $4.4 million, sold two securities for $9.5 million and received principal repayments of approximately $42.6 million in our available-for-sale portfolio. In our held-to-maturity portfolio, we received principal repayments of $20.2 million. The remainder of the change for both the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios is attributable to accretion and other activities. We currently classify agency mortgage-backed and debt securities as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale at the time of purchase based upon issue size and based on issue features, such as callable terms.

Deposits

Deposits increased a net $1,327.2 million , or 43.6% , to $4,368.8 million at March 31, 2015 , from $3,041.6 million at June 30, 2014 . Our deposit growth was the result of a 9.1% increase in interest-bearing demand accounts and a 119.4% increase in savings accounts. Increases in business banking customers resulted in higher demand and savings account business during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 .

At March 31, 2015 , total borrowings amounted to $623.2 million , down $337.0 million, or 35.1% , from June 30, 2014 and down $34.0 million or 5.2% from March 31, 2014 . Total borrowings represented 11.3% of total assets and had a weighted-average cost of 1.86% at March 31, 2015 , compared with 21.8% of total assets at a weighted-average cost of 1.50% at June 30, 2014 and 17.1% of total assets at a weighted-average cost of 2.04% at March 31, 2014 .

We have sold securities under various agreements to repurchase for total proceeds of $35.0 million . The repurchase agreements have interest rates between 3.75% and 4.75% and scheduled maturities between April 2017 and December 2017. Under these agreements, we may be required to repay the $35.0 million and repurchase our securities before the scheduled maturity if the issuer requests repayment on scheduled quarterly call dates. The weighted-average remaining contractual maturity period is 2.36 years and the weighted average remaining period before such repurchase agreements could be called is 0.36 years.

We regularly use advances from the FHLB to manage our interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, manage our liquidity position. Generally, FHLB advances with terms between three and ten years have been used to fund the purchase of single family and multifamily mortgages and to provide us with interest rate risk protection should rates rise. At March 31, 2015 , a total of $5.0 million of FHLB advances include agreements that allow the FHLB, at its option, to put the advances back to us after specified dates. The weighted-average remaining contractual maturity period of the $5.0 million in putable advances is 2.82 years and the weighted average remaining period before such advances could be put to us is 0.04 years.

Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders' equity increased $125.2 million to $496.0 million at March 31, 2015 compared to $370.8 million at June 30, 2014 . The increase was the result of our net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 of $58.3 million , sale of common stock of $61.2 million , vesting and issuance of RSUs and exercise of stock options of $3.9 million , a $2.1 million unrealized gain in other comprehensive income, net of tax, less a reduction of $0.2 million for dividends declared on preferred stock.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , we had net cash inflows from operating activities of $95.1 million compared to inflows of $73.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 . Net operating cash inflows and outflows fluctuate primarily due to the timing of originations of loans held for sale and proceeds from loan sales.

Net cash outflows from investing activities totaled $1,074.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , while outflows totaled $869.9 million for the same period in fiscal year 2014 . The increase was primarily due to higher loan originations, which were only partially offset by increased repayments of loans in the fiscal 2015 period compared to the same period in the prior year.

Our net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1,052.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , and $722.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 . Net cash provided by financing activities increased primarily from a net increase in deposits partially offset by repayments exceeding advances from the FHLB for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to March 31, 2014 .

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 , the Bank could borrow up to 40.0% of its total assets from the FHLB. Borrowings are collateralized by the pledge of certain mortgage loans and investment securities to the FHLB. At March 31, 2015 , the Company had $1,649.6 million available immediately and reflects a fully collateralized position. At March 31, 2015 , we also had two unsecured federal funds purchase lines with two different banks totaling $35.0 million, under which no borrowings were outstanding.

The Bank has the ability to borrow short-term from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Discount Window. At March 31, 2015 , the Bank did not have any borrowings outstanding and the amount available from this source was $9.8 million . The credit line is collateralized by consumer loans and mortgage-backed securities.

In an effort to expand the Bank's liquidity options, we have issued brokered deposits, of $708.4 million at March 31, 2015 . We believe our liquidity sources to be stable and adequate for our anticipated needs and contingencies. We believe we have the ability to increase our level of deposits and borrowings to address our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.


AT-THE-MARKET OFFERING


On July 22, 2014, we entered into an At-the-Market ("ATM") Equity Distribution Agreement with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc. (the "Distribution Agents") pursuant to which we may issue and sell through the Distribution Agents from time to time shares of our common stock in at the market offerings with an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million (the "ATM Offering"). The sales of shares of our common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement are to be made in "at the market" offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (the principal existing trading market for our common stock), or sales made through a market maker or any other trading market for our common stock, or (with our prior consent) in privately negotiated transactions at negotiated prices. The aggregate compensation payable to the Distribution Agents under the Distribution Agreement will not exceed 2.5% of the gross sales price of the shares sold under the agreement. We have also agreed to reimburse the Distribution Agents for up to $75,000 in their expenses and have provided the Distribution Agents with customary indemnification rights.

On February 23, 2015, we entered into an ATM Equity Distribution Agreement with FBR Capital Markets & Co., Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (the "2015 Distribution Agents") pursuant to which we may issue and sell through the 2015 Distribution Agents from time to time shares of our common stock in at the market offerings with an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million (the "2015 ATM Offering"). The sales of shares of our common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement are to be made in "at the market" offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (the principal existing trading market for our common stock), or sales made through a market maker or any other trading market for our common stock, or (with our prior consent) in privately negotiated transactions at negotiated prices. The aggregate compensation payable to the 2015 Distribution Agents under the Distribution Agreement will not exceed 2.5% of the gross sales price of the shares sold under the agreement. We have also agreed to reimburse the 2015 Distribution Agents for up to $75,000 in their expenses through September 30, 2015 and up to $25,000 thereafter and have provided the 2015 Distribution Agents with customary indemnification rights.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS

At March 31, 2015 , we had commitments to originate loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $284.9 million , and commitments to sell loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $61.3 million . We have no commitments to purchase loans, investment securities or any other unused lines of credit.


CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

We enter into contractual obligations in the normal course of business primarily as a source of funds for its asset growth and to meet required capital needs. Our time deposits due within one year of March 31, 2015 totaled $404.9 million . We believe the large percentage of time deposits that mature within one year reflects customers' hesitancy to invest their funds long term. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we may be required to seek other sources of funds, including other time deposits and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on deposits and borrowings than we currently pay on time deposits maturing within one year. However, based on past experience we believe 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 RESOURCES AND REQUIREMENTS


Our Company and Bank are subject to regulatory capital adequacy requirements promulgated by federal bank regulatory agencies. Failure by our Company or Bank to meet minimum capital requirements could result in certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. The Federal Reserve establishes capital requirements for our Company and the OCC has similar requirements for our Bank. The following tables present regulatory capital information for our Company and Bank. Information presented for March 31, 2015 , reflects the Basel III capital requirements that became effective January 1, 2015 for both our Company and Bank. Prior to January 1, 2015, our Bank was subject to capital requirements under Basel I and there were no capital requirements for our Company. Under these capital requirements and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, our Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our Company and Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our Company's and Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation require our Company and Bank to maintain certain minimum capital amounts and ratios. Federal bank regulators require our Company and Bank maintain minimum ratios of core capital to adjusted average assets of 4.0%, common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0% and total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%. At March 31, 2015 , our Company and Bank met all the capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject. At March 31, 2015 , our Company and Bank were "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be "well capitalized," our Company and Bank must maintain minimum leverage, common equity tier 1 risk-based, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 5.0%, 6.5%, 8.0% and 10.0%, respectively. Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred since March 31, 2015 that would materially adversely change the Company's and Bank's capital classifications. From time to time, we may need to raise additional capital to support our Company's and Bank's further growth and to maintain their "well capitalized" status.

Beginning January 1, 2016, Basel III implements a requirement for all banking organizations to maintain a capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The capital conservation buffer will be exclusively composed of common equity tier 1 capital, and it applies to each of the three risk-based capital ratios but not the leverage ratio. On January 1, 2016, our Company and Bank will be expected to comply with the capital conservation buffer requirement, which will increase the three risk-based capital ratios by 0.625% each year through 2019, at which point, the common equity tier 1 risk-based, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios will be 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively. If the capital conservation buffer were in effect at March 31, 2015 , our Company and Bank would exceed the requirement.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We measure interest rate sensitivity as the difference between amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that mature or contractually re-price within a given period of time. The difference, or the interest rate sensitivity gap, provides an indication of the extent to which an institution's interest rate spread will be affected by changes in interest rates. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities and negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. In a rising interest rate environment, an institution with a positive gap would be in a better position than an institution with a negative gap to invest in higher yielding assets or to have its asset yields adjusted upward, which would cause the yield on its assets to increase at a faster pace than the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities. During a period of falling interest rates, however, an institution with a positive gap would tend to have its assets reprice at a faster rate than one with a negative gap, which would tend to reduce the growth in its net interest income.

The following table sets forth the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities that were outstanding at March 31, 2015 and the portions of each financial instrument that are expected to mature or reset interest rates in each future period:

The above table provides an approximation of the projected re-pricing of assets and liabilities at March 31, 2015 on the basis of contractual maturities, adjusted for anticipated prepayments of principal and scheduled rate adjustments. The loan and securities prepayment rates reflected herein are based on historical experience. For the non-maturity deposit liabilities, we use decay rates and rate adjustments based upon our historical experience. Actual repayments of these instruments could vary substantially if future experience differs from our historic experience.

Although "gap" analysis is a useful measurement device available to management in determining the existence of interest rate exposure, its static focus as of a particular date makes it necessary to utilize other techniques in measuring exposure to changes in interest rates. For example, gap analysis is limited in its ability to predict trends in future earnings and makes no assumptions about changes in prepayment tendencies or deposit or loan maturity preferences.

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

We attempt to measure the effect market interest rate changes will have on the net present value of assets and liabilities, which is defined as market value of equity. The market value of equity for these purposes is not intended to refer to the trading pricing of our common stock. We analyze the market value of equity sensitivity to an immediate parallel and sustained shift in interest rates derived from the current treasury and LIBOR yield curves. For rising interest rate scenarios, the industry market interest rate forecast was increased by 100, 200 and 300 basis points.

The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes is based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of interest rates, asset prepayments, runoffs in deposits and changes in repricing levels of deposits to general market rates, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Furthermore, these computations do not take into account any actions that we may undertake in response to future changes in interest rates.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company's management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer along with our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Table of Contents


There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
