These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value of the retained interests based on a variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also in the above table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption; in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments but increased credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

The discount rate was determined by assessing the risk related to the asset to account for the present value of the cash flows to be received over the life of the loans. As a result, the retained interest asset is an interest earning asset, with interest income accreted over time at the discount rate and included in Other Income, net. The loss rates were determined by researching existing data on losses obtained from credit rating agencies and analyzed by credit tiers (i.e. credit score ranges) to determine loss rates specific to credit tiers, as opposed to an averaged rate. The Company then compared these rates to those of two major national banks to ensure its loss rates are within a range of what other market participants would estimate. The prepayment speed projects prepayments on a monthly percentage of the original loan balance. All assumptions will be monitored over time and may be updated to reflect actual performance.

As of March 31, 2003, the Company had a warehouse line of credit for borrowings of up to $150 million for the interim financing of mortgage loans with GMAC Bank. The interest rate charged on borrowings against these funds is variable based on LIBOR plus various percentage points. Borrowings are collateralized by the related mortgage loans held-for-sale. This line of credit agreement generally requires the Company to comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. In particular, the Company must maintain a minimum unrestricted cash balance of $12.5 million. The Company was in compliance with these covenants during the three months ended and at March 31, 2003. The committed line of credit expires on September 30, 2003.

As of March 31, 2003, the Company had a warehouse line of credit for borrowings of up to $75 million for the interim financing of mortgage loans with Residential Funding Corporation. The interest rate charged on borrowings against these funds is variable based on LIBOR plus various percentage points. Borrowings are collateralized by the related mortgage loans held-for-sale. This line of credit agreement generally requires the Company to comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. In particular, the Company must maintain a minimum unrestricted cash balance of $12.5 million. The Company was in compliance with these covenants during the three months ended and at March 31, 2003. The committed line of credit expires on December 31, 2003.

As of March 31, 2003, the Company had an agreement to finance up to $400 million of mortgage loan inventory pending sale of these loans to the ultimate mortgage loan investors with Greenwich Capital. Of this amount, $200 million is available in committed funds. This loan inventory financing is secured by the related mortgage loans. The interest rate charged on borrowings against these funds is based on LIBOR plus various percentage points. This agreement includes various financial and non-financial covenants. In particular, the Company must maintain a minimum cash and cash equivalents balance of the higher of $15 million (including Restricted Cash) or the highest amount required by any other lender or agreement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants during the three months ended and at March 31, 2003. The line expires on March 30, 2004.

In addition, the Company has an uncommitted mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement with Greenwich Capital. Under the terms of this agreement, mortgage loans which are subject to a mandatory sell forward commitment between the Company and an investor, but have not yet been purchased, may be sold to Greenwich Capital with the accompanying trade assignment. This allows the Company to accelerate turnover and provide additional liquidity to fund additional mortgage loans. Revenue derived from sales under this agreement is included as a receivable on the balance sheet (see Note 5). The balance of loans sold related to these receivables was $48.7 million and $192.6 million as of December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2003, respectively.

On June 14, 2002, the Company secured a $10 million line of credit facility with Merrill Lynch Mortgage Capital, Inc. to support the interim funding of auto loans prior to their sale to the ultimate auto loan purchaser. The interest rate charged on this line is based on LIBOR plus various percentage points. This facility expires on June 14, 2003. This line includes various financial and non-financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants during the three months ended and at March 31, 2003.

Included in other current liabilities is an amount related to the fair value of SFAS 133 derivatives of $1.7 and $0.9 million at December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2003, respectively.

Included in the accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities is an amount related to reserves the Company established for representation and warranties and premium repayment liability. The Company sells loans to loan purchasers on a servicing released basis without recourse. As such, the risk of loss or default by the borrower has generally been assumed by these purchasers. However, the Company is usually required by these purchasers to make certain representations relating to credit information, loan documentation and collateral. To the extent that the Company does not comply with such representations, or there are early payment defaults, the Company may be required to repurchase loans or indemnify these purchasers for any losses from borrower defaults. In connection with a majority of its loan sales agreements, the Company is also responsible for a minimum number of payments to be made on each loan, or else the Company may be required to refund the premium paid to it by the loan purchaser. As such, the Company records reserves based on certain assumptions in anticipation of future losses as a result of current activity.

Loss reserves due to violations of representations and warranties are recorded based on a percentage of current month originations. The Company currently calculates this loss rate exposure based on similar lending portfolios. Once the Company has endured a complete economic cycle, the rate will be determined based on actual losses as a percentage of origination volume on a historical basis. Premium repayment reserves, generated through early loan prepayments, are recorded based on a rate determined by calculating actual prepayments as a percentage of originations on a historical basis applied to current month originations.

E-LOAN originates mortgage and home equity loans and manages the market risk related to these loans through various hedging programs.

The Company originates mortgage loans and sells them primarily through whole loan sales. The market values of mortgage loans are sensitive to changes in market interest rates. If interest rates rise between the time the Company enters into a rate lock with the borrower, the subsequent funding of the loan and the time the mortgage loans are committed for sale, there may be a decline in the market value of the mortgage loans. To protect against such possible declines, the Company has adopted an economic hedging strategy.

Individual mortgage loan risks are aggregated by loan type and stage in the pipeline, and are then matched, based on duration, with the appropriate hedging instrument, thus mitigating basis risk until closing and delivery. The Company currently hedges its mortgage pipeline through mandatory forward sales of Fannie Mae mortgage-backed securities and both mandatory and non-mandatory forward sale agreements with the ultimate investor. The Company determines which alternative provides the best execution in the secondary market.

The Company believes that it has implemented a cost-effective economic hedging program to provide a high level of protection against changes in the market value of rate-lock commitments. However, an effective strategy is complex and no hedging strategy can completely insulate the Company against such changes.

At March 31, 2003, the Company had provided locks to originate loans amounting to approximately $462.2 million (the "locked pipeline"). At March 31, 2003, the Company had entered into non-mandatory forward loan sale agreements amounting to approximately $175.1 million. These forward loan sale agreements do not subject the Company to mandatory delivery and there is no penalty if the Company does not deliver into the commitment. The Company is exposed to the risk that these counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of these sale agreements. The investors are well-established U.S. financial institutions; the Company does not require collateral to support these commitments, and there has been no failure on the part of the counterparties to meet the terms of these agreements to date.

At March 31, 2003, the Company had entered into mandatory sell forward commitments amounting to approximately $198.9 million. The Company adjusts the amount of mandatory sell forward commitments held to offset changes in the locked pipeline and changes in the market value of unsold loans. At March 31, 2003, the Company had entered into $190.1 million of commitments with third party investors to deliver loans related to funded loans held-for-sale.

Revenues increased $15.2 million to $36.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. A significant portion of these increases resulted from growth in the dollar volume of mortgage and home equity loans closed and sold, as well as an increase in mortgage revenue earned per loan. Mortgage revenues increased $11.1 million to $23.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Prime refinance mortgages accounted for 83% and 71% of mortgage closed loan volume and 85% and 73% of mortgage revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The Company expects refinance activity to decline in the second half of 2003 and that growth in purchase and non-prime mortgages will help offset the decline in refinance volume. The Company expects mortgage revenue (excluding interest income) in 2003 to exceed 2002 levels. Home equity revenues increased $1.6 million to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The Company expects that home equity revenues will grow throughout 2003 as volumes increase. Revenues also increased due to an increase in interest income earned on mortgage and home equity loans. Auto revenues increased $0.4 million to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase in auto revenues from the three months ended March 31, 2002 to the three months ended March 31, 2003 is largely a result of the new QSPE structure introduced in June 2002 that improved our ability to offer competitive rates to consumers which increased prime auto loan volume. The decrease in auto revenue per loan is attributable to a shift to predominantly prime business. The Company anticipates continued pressure from incentive financing rates coupled with reduced sub-prime volume due to the loss of Americredit, the Company's largest sub-prime auto loan purchaser, will result in relatively flat 2003 auto revenues as compared to 2002.

Operating Expenses

Total Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased $10.0 million to $29.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase was primarily due to increases in processing costs and interest expense on warehouse borrowings, due to higher volumes, as well as increases in compensation and benefits due to growth in headcount. Total operating expenses also increased due to additional advertising and marketing spend.

Operations.Operations expense is comprised of both fixed and variable expenses, including employee compensation and expenses associated with the production and sale of loans and interest expense paid by the Company under the warehouse and line of credit facilities it uses to fund mortgage, home equity and auto loans held-for-sale.

The following table provides detail of the Company's operations expenses classified by the following revenue-related categories (dollars in thousands):

                                           ==========  ==========

Operations expense increased $6.1 million to $17.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Operations expense decreased as a percentage of revenue from 52% to 47% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The increase in absolute dollars is primarily due to increases in mortgage, home equity and auto operations expenses, due to higher volumes. In the quarter, auto operations expense included a one-time expense of approximately $0.3 million related to the transition of auto operations from Florida to California. The Company expects to incur a total of approximately $1.3 million, the remainder of which will be incurred in the second quarter of 2003.

Direct Margin. Direct margin is defined as revenue minus operations expense, which includes variable and fixed expenses.

The following table provides detail of the Company's direct margin classified by the following revenue-related categories (dollars in thousands):

                                             Three Months Ended

Total direct margin...................... $    9,914  $   18,988
                                           ==========  ==========

Direct margin increased $9.1 million to $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The growth in direct margin is due largely to the contribution from mortgage volume coupled with technology and process improvements. Additionally, the increase in direct margin is due to the positive spread of interest income over interest expense. The Company anticipates that mortgage revenue per loan and the spread of interest income over interest expense will decline throughout 2003, as the overall level of refinance activity declines and competitive pricing pressure increases. Auto direct margin turned negative in the first quarter of 2003 due to the one-time expense of approximately $0.3 million related to the transition of auto operations from Florida to California, coupled with the industry's continued use of low interest rate financing incentives.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense is primarily comprised of expenses (excluding non-cash marketing costs) related to advertising, promotion and distribution partnerships and employee compensation and other expenses related to personnel. Sales and marketing expense increased $3.4 million to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Sales and marketing expense decreased as a percentage of revenue from 25% to 24% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase to approximately 28% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2003, returning to prior levels by year end.

Technology. Technology expense includes employee compensation, the introduction of new technologies and the support of E-LOAN's existing technological infrastructure. Technology expense increased $0.3 million to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Technology expense decreased as a percentage of revenue from 7% to 5% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The Company expects technology expense to moderately increase in absolute dollars in the upcoming quarters.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense is primarily comprised of employee compensation and professional services. General and administrative expense increased $0.3 million to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. General and administrative expense decreased as a percentage of revenue from 8% to 5% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. General and administrative expenses are expected to stay relatively constant in the upcoming quarters.

Other Income, net. Other income, net, increased $0.3 million to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from income of ($0.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to the interest income generated from the retained interest asset.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements). The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements), the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

Retained interest in auto loans. On June 17, 2002, the Company entered into an arrangement to sell auto loan receivables to a qualified special purpose entity (QSPE), E-Loan Auto Fund One, LLC ("E-Loan Auto"). These transactions involve the Company surrendering control over these assets to assure that the sold assets have been isolated from the Company and its creditors. As E-Loan Auto has met the appropriate tests to be considered a QSPE the assets and liabilities of E-Loan Auto are appropriately not consolidated in financial statements of the Company. E-Loan Auto has obtained a secured borrowing facility from Merrill Lynch Bank USA to finance all purchases of loans from the Company. The Company recognizes a gain on the sale of auto loan receivables to E-Loan Auto in the period in which the sale occurs, which represents the difference between the sale proceeds to the Company and the Company's net carrying value of the receivables. Included in the proceeds received by the Company from the sale of loans is a beneficial interest related to loans owned by the QSPE, which is reflected on the Company's balance sheet as a retained interest asset. These retained interest assets are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value as trading assets, and will be marked to market at each subsequent reporting period. In order to determine the fair value management estimates future excess cash flows to be received by the Company over the life of the loans. The Company makes various assumptions in order to determine the fair value of the estimated future excess cash flows to be generated by the auto loans sold to the QSPE. The most significant assumptions are the cumulative credit losses to be incurred on the pool of auto loan receivables sold, prepayment rates of the auto loans and the rate at which the estimated future excess cash flows are discounted. The assumptions used represent the Company's best estimates, and the use of different assumptions could produce different financial results. The Company will continue to monitor and may update its assumptions over time.

Valuation of derivative instruments. On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), as subsequently amended by Statement of Financial Accounting No. 138. In accounting for its derivative financial instruments, SFAS 133 requires an entity to recognize all derivative assets or liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. An entity that elects to apply hedge accounting is required to establish at the inception of the hedge the method it will use in assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and the measurement approach for determining the ineffectiveness of the hedge. These methods must be consistent with the entity's approach to managing risk. A transition adjustment was recognized in the first quarter of 2001 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The transition adjustment was a $0.2 million gain, which was recorded as a component of mortgage revenue.

The Company is a party to rate lock commitments to fund loans at interest rates previously agreed (locked) by both the Company and the borrower for specified periods of time. When the borrower locks their interest rate, the Company effectively extends a put option to the borrower, whereby the borrower is not obligated to enter into the loan agreement, but the Company must honor the interest rate for the specified time period. Under SFAS 133 interest rate locks are derivatives. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk during the accumulation of interest rate lock commitments and loans prior to sale. The Company utilizes either a best efforts sell forward commitment or a mandatory sell forward commitment to economically hedge the changes in fair value of the loan due to changes in market interest rates. Both best efforts and mandatory sell forward sale commitments are derivatives under SFAS 133. Throughout the lock period the changes in the market value of interest rate lock commitments, best efforts and mandatory forward sale commitments are recorded as unrealized gains and losses and are included in the statement of operations in mortgage revenue. Once the loan is funded the Company hedges changes in the fair value of the loan, if not previously hedged at time of lock through use of a best efforts sell forward agreement, by entering into a forward delivery commitment at a specified price.

The Company's management has made complex judgments in their application of SFAS 133. The judgments include the identification of hedging instruments, hedged items, nature of the risk being hedged, and how the hedging instrument's effectiveness will be assessed. The Company designates forward delivery commitments, where the company intends to deliver the underlying loan into the commitment, as a fair value SFAS 133 hedge at the commitment date. In addition, the Company designates all non-mandatory forward sale agreements as fair value SFAS 133 hedges for underlying loans at funding date. The Company does not designate mandatory sell forward agreements as SFAS 133 hedges but does utilize them to economically hedge the changes in fair value of rate lock commitments with borrowers for which a non-mandatory forward sale agreement has not been obtained. The Company did not have a material gain or loss representing the amount of hedge ineffectiveness related to non-mandatory forward sale agreements or delivery commitments during the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Capitalized software. In 1999, the Company adopted SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, which requires that the Company expense computer software costs as they are incurred in the preliminary project stage. Once the capitalization criteria of the SOP have been met, external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use computer software and payroll and payroll related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use computer software are capitalized. Capitalized costs are generally amortized over one to three years on a straight-line basis. As of March 31, 2003, the Company had capitalized approximately $5.6 million in internally developed software costs of which $2.8 million had been amortized.

Reserves for loan originations. The Company sells loans to loan purchasers on a servicing released basis without recourse. As such, the risk of loss or default by the borrower has generally been assumed by these purchasers. However, the Company is usually required by these purchasers to make certain representations relating to credit information, loan documentation and collateral. To the extent that the Company does not comply with such representations, or there are early payment defaults, the Company may be required to repurchase loans or indemnify these purchasers for any losses from borrower defaults. In connection with a majority of its loan sales agreements, the Company is also responsible for a minimum number of payments to be made on each loan, or else the Company may be required to refund the premium paid to it by the loan purchaser. As such, the Company records reserves based on certain assumptions in anticipation of future losses as a result of current activity.

Loan loss reserves due to violations of representations and warranties are recorded based on a percentage of current month originations. The Company currently calculates this loss rate exposure based on similar lending portfolios. Once the Company has endured a complete economic cycle, the rate will be determined based on actual losses as a percentage of origination volume on a historical basis. Premium repayment reserves, generated through early loan prepayments, are recorded based on a rate determined by calculating actual prepayments as a percentage of originations on a historical basis applied to current month originations.

Stock Compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations, and complies with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based on the excess of the estimated fair value of the Company's stock over the exercise price, if any, on the date of grant. The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus in Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Non- Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.

Deferred Tax Asset. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Management evaluates the recoverability of the deferred tax assets and the level of the valuation allowance. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of favorable attributes in future tax returns, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2003. The Company did not set up a valuation allowance against the state deferred tax asset that arose in 2002 because it is expected to be fully realized in 2003. The provision for income tax expense represents taxes payable for the current period, plus the net change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The Company's sources of cash flow include cash from the sale of mortgage, home equity and auto loans, borrowings under warehouse lines of credit and other credit facilities, brokerage fees, interest income, credit card referrals and the sale of debt and equity securities in both private and public transactions. The Company's uses of cash include the funding of mortgage, home equity and auto loans, repayment of amounts borrowed under warehouse lines of credit, operating expenses, payment of interest, and capital expenditures primarily comprised of furniture, fixtures, computer equipment, software and leasehold improvements.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $60.6 million and $139.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003 was primarily due to the cash provided from the decrease in loans held-for-sale plus net income. The decrease in loans held-for-sale as of March 31, 2002 and 2003 is due to the amount of loan sales in the quarter exceeding the amount of loans funded. A funded loan remains held-for-sale until it is sold. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company sold substantially all of the loans included in the loan balance at December 31, 2002, as well as substantially all of the loans funded during the first quarter of 2003. This had a positive impact on revenue in the current quarter as we recognize revenue on self-funded loans at time of sale.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.9 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities was primarily for the purchase of software, furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements.

The Company has a warehouse line of credit for borrowings of up to $150 million for the interim financing of mortgage loans with GMAC Bank. The interest rate charged on borrowings against these funds is variable based on LIBOR plus various percentage points. Borrowings are collateralized by the related mortgage loans held-for-sale. The committed line of credit expires on September 30, 2003. Upon expiration, management believes it will either renew its existing line or obtain sufficient additional lines. This line of credit agreement generally requires the Company to comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. In particular, the Company must maintain a minimum unrestricted cash balance of $12.5 million in addition to the requirement that the Company maintain at least one other warehouse facility of no less than $100 million. Failure to comply with these, or any other covenants, could result in the obligation to repay all amounts then outstanding. The Company was in compliance with all covenants for this agreement during the three months ended and at March 31, 2003.

The Company has a warehouse line of credit for borrowings of up to $75 million for the interim financing of mortgage loans with Residential Funding Corporation. The interest rate charged on borrowings against these funds is variable based on LIBOR plus various percentage points. Borrowings are collateralized by the related mortgage loans held-for-sale. The committed line of credit expires on December 31, 2003. Upon expiration, management believes it will either renew its existing line or obtain sufficient additional lines. This line of credit agreement generally requires the Company to comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. In particular, the Company must maintain a minimum unrestricted cash balance of $12.5 million in addition to the requirement that the Company maintain at least one other warehouse facility of no less than $100 million. Failure to comply with these, or any other covenants, could result in the obligation to repay all amounts then outstanding. The Company was in compliance with all covenants for this agreement during the three months ended and at March 31, 2003.

The Company has an agreement to finance up to $400 million of mortgage loan inventory pending sale of these loans to the ultimate mortgage loan investors with Greenwich Capital. Of this amount, $200 million is available in committed funds. This loan inventory financing is secured by the related mortgage loans. The interest rate charged on borrowings against these funds is based on LIBOR plus various percentage points. The line requires the restriction of $2.5 million in cash as additional collateral. The line expires March 30, 2004. Upon expiration, management believes it will either renew its existing line or obtain sufficient additional lines. This agreement includes various financial and non-financial covenants. In particular, the Company must maintain a minimum cash and cash equivalents balance of the higher of $15 million (including Restricted Cash) or the highest amount required by any other lender or agreement. Additionally, the Company is required to maintain at least one other warehouse facility of no less than $50 million. Failure to comply with these, or any other covenants, could result in the obligation to repay all amounts then outstanding. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants for this agreement during the three months ended and at March 31, 2003.

In addition, the Company has an uncommitted mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement with Greenwich Capital. Under the terms of this agreement, mortgage loans which are subject to a "take-out" commitment between the Company and an investor, but have not yet been purchased, may be sold to Greenwich Capital with the accompanying trade assignment. This allows the Company to accelerate turnover and provide additional liquidity to fund additional mortgage loans.

On June 14, 2002, the Company secured a $10 million line of credit facility with Merrill Lynch Mortgage Capital, Inc. to support the interim funding of auto loans prior to the sale to the ultimate auto loan purchaser. The interest rate charged on this line is based on LIBOR plus various percentage points. This facility expires on June 14, 2003. Upon expiration, management believes it will either renew its existing line or obtain sufficient additional lines. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants for this agreement during the three months ended and at March 31, 2003.

In 2002, the Company sold the majority of its sub-prime auto loans to three auto loan purchasers, Americredit, Roadloans and Transouth. In October 2002, the Company terminated its agreement with Americredit, its largest sub-prime auto loan purchaser. The Company subsequently entered into an agreement with Household International as a sub-prime auto loan purchaser to replace Americredit. However, the Company's management does not anticipate that its current sub-prime auto loan purchasers, without Americredit, will support the same loan volume.

In June 2002, the Company created a qualified special purpose entity, E-Loan Auto Fund One, LLC ("E-Loan Auto"), which purchases prime auto loans from the Company and then holds the loans. E-Loan Auto finances its purchases through a $540 million credit facility with Merrill Lynch Bank USA, which expires on June 17, 2003. Borrowings are collateralized by the related auto loans held by E-Loan Auto. The Company is not obligated to repay any balance outstanding under the credit facility that exists between E-Loan Auto and Merrill Lynch Bank USA. Upon expiration, the Company anticipates that E-Loan Auto will either renew its existing line or obtain sufficient additional lines.

The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2003 will be sufficient to fund its operating activities, capital expenditures and other obligations for the next twelve months. However, if during that period or thereafter the Company is not successful in generating sufficient cash flow from operations, or in raising additional funds when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of its then- current stockholders would be reduced.

These forward-looking statements, such as the Company's plans to increase the number of purchase loans, the relative importance of loans E-LOAN originates and sells and growth in the number of applications received, statements regarding development of E-LOAN's business, future operating results, anticipated capital expenditures, the expectations as to the use of the capital resource and the availability of additional financing, and other statements contained in this Report regarding matters that are not historical facts, are only estimates or predictions and cannot be relied upon. No assurance can be given that future results will be achieved; actual events or results may differ materially as a result of risks facing the company or actual results differing from the assumption underlying such statements. Such risks and assumptions include, but are not limited to, E-LOAN's ability to access additional debt or equity financing in the future, secure replacement lines of credit for mortgage and auto loans, respond to increasing competition, secure additional loan purchasers, manage growth of E-LOAN's operations, as well as regulatory, legislative, and judicial developments that could cause actual results to vary materially from the future results indicated, expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. All written and oral forward-looking statements made in connection with this Report which are attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the "Factors Affecting Future Operating Results" and other cautionary statements included herein. The Company disclaims any obligation to update information contained in any forward-looking statement.

The following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward- looking statements made in this report or presented elsewhere by management from time to time.

While we achieved our first profitable year during 2002, as of March 31, 2003, we have an accumulated deficit of $199.9 million. Because we expect our operating costs will increase to accommodate expected growth in loan applications, we will need to generate significant revenues to maintain profitability. We may not sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate, or if operating expenses exceed our expectations or cannot be adjusted accordingly, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.

We were incorporated in August 1996, initiated our online mortgage operations in June 1997 and acquired our online auto operations in September 1999. We cannot assure you that we will be able to operate successfully if a downturn in the mortgage or auto business occurs. As a result of our limited operating history, our recent growth and our reporting responsibilities as a public company, we may need to expand operational, financial and administrative systems and control procedures to enable us to further train and manage our employees and coordinate the efforts of our underwriting, accounting, finance, marketing, and operations departments.

Our revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors. Certain months or quarters have historically experienced a greater volume of purchase money mortgage and auto loan applications and funded loans. As a result, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results are not a good indication of our future performance. It is possible that in some future periods our operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In this event, the price of our common stock may fall.

A significant percentage of our mortgage customers use our services to refinance existing mortgages and they are motivated to do so primarily when interest rates fall below the rates of their existing mortgages. In the event interest rates significantly increase, consumers' incentive to refinance will be greatly reduced and the number of loans that we originate could significantly decline.

The mortgage loan purchase commitments we obtain are contingent upon our delivery of the relevant loans to the purchasers within specified periods. To the extent that we are unable to deliver the loans within the specified periods and interest rates increase during those periods, we may experience no gain or even a loss on the sale of these loans. In addition, any increase in interest rates will increase the cost of maintaining our warehouse and repurchase lines of credit on which we depend to fund the loans we originate. The interest direct margin earned on loans held-for-sale significantly benefited from the spread between long-term and short-term interest rates starting in 2001 and continuing through the first quarter of 2003. Based on historical trends, we would not expect the same level of benefit from interest rate spreads in a normal market. We have implemented a hedging program to manage the risk of loss due to fluctuations in interest rates, but our hedging efforts may not be successful, and no hedging strategy can completely eliminate interest rate risk. A sharp decrease in interest rates over a short period may cause customers who have interest rates on mortgages committed through us to either delay closing their loans or refinance with another lender. If this occurs in significant numbers, it may have an adverse effect on our business or quarterly results of operations.

We attempt to manage our interest rate risk exposure through hedging transactions using a combination of forward sales of mortgage-backed securities and forward whole-loan sales to fix the sales price of loans we expect to fund. An effective hedging strategy is complex, and we have limited experience administering a hedging program. A successful hedging program depends in part on our ability to properly estimate the number of loans that will actually close and is subject to fluctuations in the prices of mortgage-backed securities, which do not necessarily move in tandem with the prices of loans we originate and close. To the extent that we implement a hedging strategy but are unable to effectively match our purchases and sales of mortgage-backed securities with the sale of the closed loans we have originated, our gains on sales of mortgage loans will be reduced, or we will experience a net loss on those sales. In addition, we currently do not hedge the interest rate exposure related to our auto loan approvals. Approved auto loan applicants are provided a guaranteed rate for up to a 45 day period. Based upon a variety of factors, we determined that the cost to hedge the potential interest rate risk was not proportional to the benefit derived. In the event we experience dramatic increases in short term (generally two year term) interest rates, it is possible that we could experience a net loss on those loan approvals.

The time between the date an application for a mortgage loan is received from a customer and the date the loan closes can be lengthy and unpredictable. The loan application and approval process is often delayed due to factors over which we have little or no control, including the timing of the customer's decision to commit to an available interest rate, the close of escrow date for purchase loans, the timeliness of appraisals and the adequacy of the customer's own disclosure documentation. Purchase mortgage loans generally take longer to close than refinance loans as they are tied to the close of the property sale escrow date. This uncertain timetable can have a direct impact on our revenue and profitability for any given period. We may expend substantial funds and management resources supporting the loan completion process and never generate revenue from closed loans. Therefore, our results of operations for a particular period may be adversely affected if the mortgage loans applied for during that period do not close in a timely manner or at all.

Over the past two years we have experienced significant growth, which has placed a strain on our resources and will continue to do so in the future. Our failure to manage this growth effectively could adversely affect our business. We may not be successful in managing or expanding our operations or maintaining adequate management, financial and operating systems and controls. Our headcount has grown substantially. At March 31, 2002 and 2003, we had 516 and 755 full-time employees, respectively.

Our success will depend in large part on widespread consumer acceptance of obtaining mortgage and auto loans online. Increased consumer use of the Internet to provide for their lending needs is subject to uncertainty. The development of an online market for mortgage and auto loans has only recently begun, is rapidly evolving and likely will be characterized by an increasing number of market entrants. If consumer acceptance of the Internet as a source for mortgage, home equity and auto loans does not increase, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected. A number of factors may inhibit Internet usage by consumers, including privacy and security concerns regarding their personal information. The adoption of online lending requires the acceptance of a new way of conducting business, exchanging information and applying for credit by consumers that have historically relied upon traditional lending methods. As a result, we cannot be sure that we will be able to compete effectively with traditional borrowing and lending methods.

We rely on Internet marketing agreements with other companies to direct a significant number of prospective customers to our website. In the aggregate, approximately 47%, 24% and 67% of our mortgage, home equity and auto loan applications, respectively, were derived from the websites of our online marketing agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2003. Our marketing agreements are typically short-term, less than one year in length, and most can be terminated for any reason upon 30 to 60 days prior written notice. We cannot assure you that any or all of these agreements will not be terminated or will be renewed or extended past their current expiration dates. If a number of our significant marketing agreements were to be terminated or were to lapse without extension, we could lose a considerable number of loan applications and our business could be adversely affected.

In 2002, the majority of our home equity loans were purchased by Wells Fargo Bank pursuant to a Home Equity Loan/Line Purchase Agreement. If Wells Fargo Bank is unable or unwilling to purchase our home equity loans, we may experience delays in our ability to accept or process home equity loan applications until we are able to secure new sources of loan purchasers. Sufficient additional sources of loan purchasers for our home equity loans may not be available on favorable terms or at all.

We currently sell the majority of our sub-prime auto loans to three auto loan purchasers, Household International, Roadloans and Transouth. In addition, we currently sell all of our prime auto loans to a qualified special purpose entity (QSPE). The QSPE is dependent on Merrill Lynch to provide the necessary financing to continue purchasing loans from us. If any of the current auto loan purchasers are unable or unwilling to purchase our auto loans, we may experience delays in our ability to accept or process auto loan applications.

We rely on other companies to perform services related to the loan underwriting process, including appraisals, credit reporting and title searches. Any interruptions or delays in the provision of these services may cause delays in the processing and closing of loans for our customers. If we are unsuccessful in managing the timely delivery of these services we will likely experience increased customer dissatisfaction and our business and reputation could be adversely affected.

We depend on automated underwriting and other services offered by government sponsored and other mortgage investors, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ("Agencies"), to help ensure that our mortgage services can be offered efficiently and on a timely basis. We currently have an agreement with the Agencies that authorizes our use of their automated underwriting services and enables us to sell qualified first mortgages to these Agencies. We cannot assure you that we will remain in good standing with the Agencies or that the Agencies will not terminate our relationship. We expect to continue to process a significant portion of our conforming mortgage loans using the Agencies' systems. Our agreement with the Agencies can be terminated by either party. The termination of our agreements with the Agencies would adversely affect our business by reducing our ability to streamline the mortgage origination process.

Our website has in the past and may in the future experience slower response times or decreased traffic for a variety of reasons. In addition, our users depend on Internet service providers, online service providers and other website operators for access to our websites. Many Internet users have experienced significant outages in the past, and could experience outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems. Additionally, the Internet infrastructure may not be able to support continued growth in its use. Any of these problems could adversely affect our business.

Internet usage could decline if any well-publicized compromise of security occurred. We may incur significant costs to protect against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by any breaches that occur. We also retain on our premises personal financial documents that we receive from prospective borrowers in connection with their loan applications. These documents are highly sensitive and if a third party were to misappropriate our customers' personal information, customers could possibly bring legal claims against us. We cannot assure you that our privacy policy will be deemed sufficient by our prospective customers or compliant with any federal or state laws governing privacy, which may be adopted in the future.

Interest rate movements significantly impact our volume of closed loans and represent the primary component of market risk to us. In a higher interest rate environment, consumer demand for mortgage loans, particularly refinancing of existing mortgages, declines. Interest rate movements affect the interest income earned on loans held for sale, interest expense on the warehouse lines payable, the value of mortgage loans held for sale and ultimately the gain on sale of mortgage loans.

We attempt to minimize the interest rate risk associated with the time lag between when loans are rate-locked and when they are committed for sale or exchanged in the secondary market, through our hedging activities. Individual mortgage loan risks are aggregated by loan type and stage in the pipeline, and are then matched, based on duration, with the appropriate hedging instrument, thus mitigating basis risk until closing and delivery. We currently hedge our mortgage pipeline through mandatory forward sales of Fannie Mae mortgage-backed securities and both mandatory and non-mandatory forward loan sale agreements with the ultimate investor. We determine which alternative provides the best execution in the secondary market. In addition, we do not believe our net interest income would be materially affected as a result of concurrent changes in long-term and short-term interest rates due to the short duration of time loans are held on the balance sheet prior to being sold (typically under thirty days).

We believe that we have implemented a cost-effective hedging program to provide a high level of protection against changes in the market value of rate-lock commitments. However, an effective strategy is complex and no hedging strategy can completely insulate the Company against such changes.

Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company that is required to be included in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or, to the Company's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect those internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation, and there have been no corrective actions with respect to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that the Company's disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived 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 controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
