1 Core earnings is a non-GAAP measure that excludes realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with our securities portfolios.

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, net income was a record $18,757,000, an increase of 42.2% over net income of $13,193,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Earnings attributable to BofI's common stockholders were $18,348,000 or $1.37 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2012, an increase of 44.6% from $12,687,000 or $1.14 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Record earnings for the quarter and for the six months ended December 31, 2012 were primarily the result of growth in both the Bank's loan portfolio and its fee income businesses.

Our Bank's fundamentals remained strong as we posted our fourth consecutive quarter of record net income, increased total assets by $257.0 million through organic loan growth, maintained our strong asset quality and benefited from robust growth in non-interest income, remarked Greg Garrabrants, President and Chief Executive Officer. Our net interest margin of 3.81% this quarter was 21 basis points higher than the net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Our cost of funds has decreased 52 basis points





year over year as we benefited from the shift in our deposit mix toward lower cost checking, savings and money market accounts and from continued re-pricing of term obligations. We are particularly pleased with the continued growth of our newer businesses. Our business banking group reached $146.0 million of deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 up $46.0 million or 46.0% over the business deposit balance at September 30, 2012. Our warehouse lending business funded $690.7 million of loans in the second quarter ended December 31, 2012 after funding $229.0 million in the first quarter. Asset quality was strong with 0.79% of non-performing assets to total assets at December 31, 2012. Gain on sale from our mortgage banking business was $5.6 million this quarter, up $2.6 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

“This October, we raised $18.6 million of convertible preferred stock increasing our fully diluted share count by 4.75%,” continued Mr. Garrabrants. “I am proud to announce that we fully absorbed the impact of that dilution this quarter and improved diluted earnings per share to $0.70 per share, up $0.03 over last quarter. Our annualized return on common stockholders' equity for this quarter was 17.32%. Our Bank Tier 1 capital ratio increased to 8.52% at December 31, 2012, up from 8.20% at September 30, 2012.”

Other Highlights:
Loan portfolio grew by $627.8 million or 41.2% compared to December 31, 2011
Loan originations for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $612.6 million, up 70.2% compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2011
Deposits grew by $415.0 million, or 26.7% compared to December 31, 2011
Asset quality remains strong with total non-performing assets of 0.79% of total assets and non-performing loans equal to 0.95% of total loans at December 31, 2012
Tangible book value increased to $17.08 per share, up $2.28 per share compared to December 31, 2011
Total assets reached $2,874.3 million, up $650.5 million or 29.3% compared to December 31, 2011

Second Quarter Fiscal 2013 Income Statement Summary
During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, BofI earned $9,768,000 or $0.70 per diluted share compared to $6,660,000, or $0.54 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Net interest income increased $5,850,000 or 30.7% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011. Average earning assets grew year over year by $496.3 million and our net interest margin was 3.81% compared to 3.60% for the quarters ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Loan loss provision was $1,950,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $1,600,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Loan portfolio growth in fiscal 2013 required an increase in loan loss provisions.

For the second quarter ended December 31, 2012, non-interest income was $6,249,000 compared to $2,986,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to gain on sale of mortgage loans which was $5,579,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to $3,031,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Prepayment penalty income increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 to $513,000, up from $65,000 due to more mortgage loans prepaying in fiscal 2013.

Non-interest expense or operating costs increased $3,577,000 to $12,781,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 from $9,204,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase was mainly a result of an increase in compensation expense of $1,975,000 related to additional staffing added since December 31, 2011, an increase in advertising of $510,000 due to costs associated with increased loan and deposit products and account volumes, and an increase in loan related costs of $258,000.









Balance Sheet Summary
BofI's total assets increased $487.5 million, or 20.4%, to $2,874.3 million, as of December 31, 2012, up from $2,386.8 million at June 30, 2012. The loan portfolio increased a net $434.7 million, primarily from portfolio loan originations of $611.7 million less principal repayments and other adjustments of $177.0 million. Loans held for sale increased $18.0 million. Investment securities decreased $20.7 million as principal repayments exceeded new security investments. Total liabilities increased by $451.5 million or 20.7%, to $2,631.7 million at December 31, 2012, up from $2,180.2 million at June 30, 2012. The increase in total liabilities resulted primarily from growth in demand, savings and time deposits of $353.2 million. Stockholders' equity increased by $36.0 million, or 17.4%, to $242.6 million at December 31, 2012, up from $206.6 million at June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily the result of $18.8 million in net income, issuance of convertible preferred stock Series C of $18.6 million, vesting and issuance of RSU's and exercise of stock options of $1.2 million, less $2.1 million unrealized loss in other comprehensive income and $0.4 million in dividends declared on preferred stock.

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. Core earnings exclude realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with our securities portfolios. Excluding these gains and losses provides investors with an understanding of BofI'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 to their use of such measures. Although BofI believes the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this report enhance investors' understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be consider in isolation, or as a substitute for GAAP basis financial measures. Below is a reconciliation of GAAP net income to core earnings:
