B of I Holding, Inc. (B of I or the Company), (NASDAQ: BOFI), parent of Bank of Internet USA (Bank), today announced that net income was $2,594,000 for its third quarter ended March 31, 2009, an increase of 154.8% compared to the $1,018,000 earned for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Earnings available to the Company's common stockholders were $2,421,000, or $0.30 per diluted share for the current quarter compared to $940,000, or $0.11 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Diluted earnings per share increased $0.19 or 172.7% this quarter compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The increase in quarterly net income year over year was primarily due to 60.2% growth in the net interest margin and 13.4% growth in average earnings assets.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, net income was $3,538,000 compared to $2,416,000 in net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The U.S. government decision to put Fannie Mae into conservatorship during the first quarter ended September 30, 2008 resulted in B of I realizing a one-time loss on the sale of its Fannie Mae preferred stock of $7,902,000, or $4,710,000 after tax. Without the Fannie Mae preferred stock loss, the Company's net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 would have been $8,248,000.

"Bank of Internet continues to achieve strong earnings in difficult times," remarked Greg Garrabrants, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our 150% year over year increase in quarterly earnings is the result of our low cost business model and our disciplined approach to risk and credit management." Garrabrants added, "We are positive about the future of our bank and cautious about the economy, increasing our loan loss allowance 91% since March 31, 2008."

Jerry Englert, Chairman of the Board, added, "As I approach a decade of serving as Chairman of the Board and look back at what we have accomplished, I am pleased. I believe we have the right business model and the right management team, not only for the current environment, but also for the next phase of our growth. As we have strengthened our management team over the last several years, I have increased confidence that the Bank will continue to prosper as I consider the role I should play on the Board in the future. I am dedicated to ensuring that our Board remains a strong contributor to our success."

--  Net interest margin grew to 2.82% in the current quarter, up 60.2%
    over the third quarter last year.

Quarter Earnings Summary

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we had net income of $2,594,000 compared to net income of $1,018,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Total interest and dividend income during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 increased 14.2%, to $18.5 million, compared to $16.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The increase in interest and dividend income for the quarter was primarily attributable to growth in the average balance of loans and investment securities, higher rates earned on new loans and lower rates paid on deposits. Average interest earning assets increased $141.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and the loan portfolio yield increased 63 basis points. Total interest expense decreased 12.2% to $10.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared with $11.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Interest expense decreased due to a 110 basis point decrease in the average funding rate, including a decrease in average rates for time deposits of 77 basis points. Similarly, lower rates paid on FHLB advances led to a decrease in FHLB advance funding costs of 112 basis points when comparing the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Net interest margin, defined as net interest income divided by average earning assets, increased by 106 basis points to 2.82% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared with 1.76% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The increased net interest income for the current quarter was partially offset by higher provisions for loan losses. The loan loss provision was $1,200,000 for the March 2009 quarter compared to $835,000 for the quarter ended March 2008. The increased loan loss provision was due primarily to the growth in our loan portfolio, general declines in housing values and declines in consumer credit resulting in increased charge-offs and reserves for recreational vehicle loans.

Non-interest expense, which is comprised primarily of compensation, data processing and internet expenses, occupancy and other operating expenses, was $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, up slightly from $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in compensation expense this quarter was primarily the result of a one-time payment of $352,000 made last year relating to a contract amendment for the Bank's president. The decrease in compensation expense was offset by an increase in other general and administrative expenses, primarily due to additional loan processing expense and other real estate owned.

Balance Sheet Summary

The Company's total assets increased $55.0 million, or 4.6%, to $1,249.2 million, as of March 31, 2009, up from $1,194.2 million at June 30, 2008. The increase in total assets was primarily due to an increase of $52.1 million for investment securities. Total liabilities increased $52.8 million, primarily due to an increase in deposits of $123.3 million partially offset by a decrease of $88.0 million in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.

_____________
(1) Interest rate spread represents the difference between the annualized
    weighted average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted
    average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
(2) Net interest margin represents annualized net interest income as a
    percentage of average interest-earning assets.
(3) Efficiency Ratio represents noninterest expense as a percentage of the
    aggregate of net interest income and noninterest income.
    For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, without the loss of $7.902
    million in noninterest income due to the loss on sale of FNMA preferred
    stock, the efficiency ratio would have been 34.22%.
(4) Reflects regulatory capital ratios of Bank of Internet USA only.
