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

For the third consecutive quarter we have posted record earnings primarily as a result of our growth in both our loan portfolio and our fee income businesses, remarked Greg Garrabrants, President and Chief Executive Officer. Year over year our average interest earning assets grew 22% and our net interest margin of 3.70% this quarter was 5 basis points higher than the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Asset quality remains good with 0.82% of non-performing assets at September 30, 2012. Gain on sale from our mortgage banking business reached a new high of $6.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. I am also pleased with the shift in our deposit mix which has moved to 45.2% checking, savings and money market at September 30, 2012, up from 26.7% at September 30, 2011.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we accomplished a number of key tasks important to the future growth of our business, continued Mr. Garrabrants. Last week, we moved into our new headquarters location that provides additional space for our expansion.






After the end of the quarter, in October, we raised $18.6 million of Tier 1 capital through the sale of Series C non-cumulative convertible preferred equity at a conversion price of $30.50 per common share, equal to 186% of our tangible book value at September 30, 2012. With this Tier 1 capital raise we are well positioned, given our growing organic earnings to increase our asset size significantly, without the need for additional external capital. Several of our newer businesses gained significant traction this quarter. Our business banking group recently reached $100 million of deposits only four months after its launch. Our warehouse lending business funded $228 million of loans in the month of October after funding less than $40 million in July.

Other Highlights:
Loan portfolio grew by $469.1 million or 32.5% compared to September 30, 2011
Loan originations for three months ended September 30, 2012 were $534.5 million, up 55.8% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011
Deposits grew by $358.8 million, or 24.0% compared to September 30, 2011
Asset quality remains strong with total non-performing assets of 0.82% of total assets and non-performing loans equal to 1.07% of total loans at September 30, 2012
Tangible book value increased to $16.36 per share, up $2.07 per share compared to September 30, 2011
Total assets reached $2,617.3 million, up $520.3 million or 24.8% compared to September 30, 2011

First Quarter Fiscal 2013 Income Statement Summary
During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, BofI earned $8,989,000 or $0.67 per diluted share compared to $6,533,000, or $0.58 per diluted share quarter ended September 30, 2011. Net interest income increased $4,308,000 or 23.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to September 30, 2011. Average earning assets grew year over year by $438.1 million and our net interest margin was 3.70% compared to 3.65% for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Loan loss provision was $2,550,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $2,363,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Increased charge offs and growth in the loan portfolio in fiscal 2013 required an increase in loan loss provisions.

For the first quarter ended September 30, 2012, non-interest income was $6,761,000 compared to $4,570,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to gain on sale of agency mortgage loans which was $4,922,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to $2,095,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Prepayment penalty income increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 to $202,000, up from $61,000 due to more loans prepaying in fiscal 2013.

Non-interest expense or operating costs increased $1,980,000, to $11,532,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from $9,552,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was mainly a result of an increase in compensation expense of $1,664,000 related to additional staffing added since September 30, 2011, an increase in data processing expense of $188,000 and an increase in advertising of $336,000 due to costs associated with increased loan and deposit products and account volumes.

Balance Sheet Summary
Our total assets increased $230.5 million, or 9.7%, to $2,617.3 million, as of September 30, 2012, up from $2,386.8 million at June 30, 2012. The loan portfolio increased a net $192.4 million, primarily from portfolio loan originations of $279.7 million less principal repayments and other adjustments of $87.3 million. Investment securities decreased $16.2 million as principal repayments exceeded new security investments. Total liabilities increased by $222.4 million or 10.2%, to $2,402.6 million at September 30, 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 $237.9 million. Stockholders' equity increased by $8.1 million, or 3.9%, to $214.7 million at September 30, 2012, up from $206.6 million at June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily the result of $9.0 million in net income, vesting and issuance of RSU's and exercise of stock options of $0.5 million, less $1.3 million unrealized loss from our available-for-sale securities and $0.1 million in dividends paid.






The Bank's Tier 1 capital was 8.20% at September 30, 2012 compared to 8.08% at September 30, 2011. Assuming BofI Holding contributed $26.0 million of its available cash to the bank, the pro forma Tier 1 capital ratio would be 9.19%.

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.
