Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

        TierOne Corporation (“Company”) is a Wisconsin corporation headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska. TierOne Corporation is the holding company for TierOne Bank (“Bank”). The Bank has two wholly owned subsidiaries, TMS Corporation of the Americas (“TMS”) and United Farm & Ranch Management, Inc. (“UFARM”). TMS is the holding company of TierOne Investments and Insurance, Inc. (d/b/a TierOne Financial), a wholly owned subsidiary that administers the sale of securities and insurance products, and TierOne Reinsurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary that reinsures credit life and disability insurance policies. UFARM provides agricultural customers with professional farm and ranch management and real estate brokerage services. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

        The assets of the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, primarily consist of 100% of the Bank’s common stock. The Company has no significant independent source of income and therefore depends on cash distributions from the Bank to meet its funding requirements.

        The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2007 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are unaudited. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for interim periods. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and do not include all of the information and notes required for complete, audited financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire calendar year 2007.

        As used in this report, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to the Company and the Bank.

Note 2 – Definitive Acquisition Agreement

        On May 17, 2007, TierOne Corporation, CapitalSource Inc. (“CapitalSource”) and CapitalSource TRS Inc. (“CapitalSource TRS”) entered into and announced an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with and into CapitalSource TRS (“Merger”), with CapitalSource TRS continuing as the surviving corporation.

        Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Company common stock (other than certain shares owned by the Company), par value $0.01 per share (“TierOne Common Stock”), will be converted into the right to receive the following (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”):

  $6.80 in cash; plus
  0.675 shares of CapitalSource common stock; plus
  if the ten-day average closing price of CapitalSource common stock prior to the closing of the Merger is:
  (a) less than or equal to $25.1852, then 0.405 shares of CapitalSource common stock; or
  (b) greater than $25.1852, then TierOne Corporation stockholders can elect to receive either $10.20 in cash or $10.20 of CapitalSource common stock.

        The Company and CapitalSource have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants regarding the conduct of their businesses and other activities between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger, and have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger. In addition, the Company has made certain additional covenants, including covenants to cause a stockholder meeting to be held to consider approval of the Merger and for the Company’s Board of Directors to, subject to certain exceptions, recommend adoption by its stockholders of the Merger Agreement. Furthermore, the Company is not to solicit or facilitate proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions, or, subject to certain exceptions, enter into discussions concerning alternative business combination transactions.

        If CapitalSource’s average common stock price declines to certain specified levels in absolute terms and relative to a published industry index, the Merger Agreement contains triggers allowing the Company to renegotiate the Merger Consideration or terminate the transaction. The Merger Agreement also contains other termination rights for both the Company and CapitalSource. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement, under specified circumstances, CapitalSource may be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $40.0 million or, under other specified circumstances, the Company may be required to pay CapitalSource a termination fee of $24.0 million. The Merger Agreement also calls for a limited reimbursement of the other party’s expenses under certain circumstances.

        Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including, without limitation, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties (subject generally to a material adverse effect standard), regulatory approval and Company stockholder approval. The Merger is currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2007. On June 29, 2007, CapitalSource filed a Form H-(e)1 “Application for the Acquisition of TierOne Bank by the Merger of TierOne Corporation into CapitalSource TRS Inc.” with the Office of Thrift Supervision. Additionally, on July 13, 2007 CapitalSource filed a joint proxy / prospectus statement relating to the merger on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        Due to the proposed merger with CapitalSource, and as reflected in this Form 10-Q, the Company has experienced restrictions in certain funding opportunities; certain one-time merger related expenses; an increased commitment of time by Company personnel working with federal regulatory agencies in connection with merger-related issues; and restrictions in the Company’s ability to repurchase common stock. These activities have and may continue to further impact the Company’s financial performance.

Note 3 – Critical Accounting Policies

        Various elements of our accounting policies, by nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. Our policies with respect to the methodologies used to recognize income, determine the allowance for loan losses, evaluating investment and mortgage-backed securities for impairment, evaluating goodwill and other intangible assets, valuation of mortgage servicing rights, valuation and measurement of derivatives and commitments, valuation of real estate owned and income taxes are our most critical accounting policies. These policies are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions and estimates could result in material differences in our reported financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion regarding our critical accounting policies should be read in conjunction with our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

        Allowance for Loan Losses. We have identified the allowance for loan losses as a critical accounting policy where amounts are subject to material variation. This policy is significantly affected by our judgment and uncertainties and there is a likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different, but reasonably plausible, conditions or assumptions. The allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because there is a large degree of judgment in:

  Assigning individual loans to specific risk levels (pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss);
  Valuing the underlying collateral securing the loans;
  Determining the appropriate reserve factor to be applied to specific risk levels for special mention loans and those adversely classified (substandard, doubtful and loss); and

10

(Unaudited)

  Determining reserve factors to be applied to pass loans based upon loan type.

        We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charges to our operating results, in order to maintain a level of total allowance for loan losses that, in management’s belief, covers all known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at each reporting date. Management reviews the loan portfolio no less frequently than quarterly in order to identify those inherent losses and to assess the overall collection probability of the loan portfolio. Management’s review includes a quantitative analysis by loan category, using historical loss experience, classifying loans pursuant to a grading system and consideration of a series of qualitative loss factors. The evaluation process includes, among other things:

  Assigning individual loans to specific risk levels (pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss);
  Trends and levels of delinquent, nonperforming or “impaired” loans;
  Trends and levels of charge-offs and recoveries;
  Underwriting terms or guarantees for loans;
  Impact of changes in underwriting standards, risk tolerances or other changes in lending practices;
  Changes in the value of collateral securing loans;
  Total loans outstanding and the volume of loan originations;
  Type, size, terms and geographic concentration of loans held;
  Changes in qualifications or experience of the lending staff;
  Changes in local or national economic or industry conditions;
  Number of loans requiring heightened management oversight;
  Changes in credit concentration; and
  Changes in regulatory requirements.

        This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events occur.





11

        The allowance for loan losses has two elements. The first element is an allocated allowance established for specific loans identified by the credit review function that are evaluated individually for impairment and are considered to be impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured by:

  The fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent;
  The present value of expected future cash flows; or
  The loan’s observable market price.

The second element is an estimated allowance established for losses which are probable and reasonable to estimate on each category of outstanding loans. While management uses available information to recognize probable losses on loans inherent in the portfolio, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

        Mortgage Servicing Rights. On January 1, 2007 we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (“SFAS No. 156”). In accordance with SFAS No. 156, we have elected to continue to utilize the amortization method for all of our mortgage servicing right assets, thus, carrying our mortgage servicing rights at the “lower of cost or market” (fair value). Under the amortization method, we amortize mortgage servicing rights in proportion to and over the period of net servicing income. Income generated as a result of new servicing assets is reported as net gain on sale of loans held for sale in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Loan servicing fees, net of amortization of mortgage servicing rights, is recorded in fees and service charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

        We capitalize the estimated value of mortgage servicing rights upon the sale of loans. The estimated value takes into consideration contractually known amounts, such as loan balance, term and interest rate. These estimates are impacted by loan prepayment speeds, servicing costs and discount rates used to compute a present value of the cash flow stream. We evaluate the fair value of mortgage servicing rights on a quarterly basis using current prepayment speed, cash flow and discount rate estimates. Changes in these estimates impact fair value and could require us to record a valuation allowance or recovery. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. Changes in prepayment speed assumptions have the most significant impact on the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. Generally, as interest rates decline, prepayments accelerate with increased refinance activity, which results in a decrease in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. As interest rates rise, prepayments generally slow, which results in an increase in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. All assumptions are reviewed for reasonableness on a quarterly basis and adjusted as necessary to reflect current and anticipated market conditions. Thus, any measurement of fair value is limited by the conditions existing and the assumptions utilized as of a particular point in time, and those assumptions may not be appropriate if applied at a different point in time. We currently do not utilize direct financial hedges to mitigate the effect of changes in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights.

        Income Taxes. We estimate income taxes payable based on the amount we expect to owe various tax authorities. Accrued income taxes represent the net estimated amount due to, or to be received from, taxing authorities. In estimating accrued income taxes, we assess the relative merits and risks of the appropriate tax treatment of transactions, taking into account the applicable statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance in the context of our tax position. Although we utilize current information to record income taxes, underlying assumptions may change over time as a result of unanticipated events or circumstances.

        We utilize estimates of future earnings to support our position that the benefit of our deferred tax assets will be realized. If future pre-tax income should prove nonexistent or less than the amount of temporary differences giving rise to the net deferred tax assets within the tax years to which they may be applied, the assets will not be realized and our net income will be adversely affected.

Note 4 – Earnings Per Share

        Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised. Diluted earnings per share is computed after giving consideration to the weighted average dilutive effect of our 2003 Stock Option Plan shares and 2003 Management Recognition and Retention Plan shares. The following table is a reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS:

Note 5 – Stock-Based Benefit Plans

        General. We account for our stock-based benefit plans using SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). SFAS No. 123(R) requires that compensation expense related to stock-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements and that expense be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instrument issued. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires that forfeitures be estimated over the vesting period of the instrument.

        Stock-Based Employee Compensation Expense. Amounts recognized in the financial statements with respect to our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) and stock-based employee compensation plans are presented in the following table:

Amount of related income tax benefit recognized   $ 509   $ 511   $ 1,013   $ 1,015  

        Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Concurrent with the conversion from mutual to stock ownership, we established an ESOP for the benefit of our employees. The ESOP is a qualified pension plan under Internal Revenue Service guidelines that covers all full-time employees who have completed 1,000 hours of service. Upon formation, the ESOP purchased 1,806,006 shares of common stock issued in the initial public offering with the proceeds of an $18,060,060 loan from the Company.

        We account for our ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6, Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Accordingly, expense is recognized based on the market value (average stock price) of shares scheduled to be released from the ESOP trust. The excess fair value of ESOP shares over cost is recorded as compensation expense but is not deductible for tax purposes. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, we report compensation expense equal to the average market price of the shares and the shares become outstanding for EPS computations. Our contributions and dividends on allocated and unallocated ESOP shares are used to pay down the loan. Accordingly, we have recorded the obligation with an offsetting amount of unearned compensation in stockholders’ equity in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

        Management Recognition and Retention Plan. We established the 2003 Management Recognition and Retention Plan (“MRRP”) which is a stock-based incentive plan. The shares awarded by the MRRP vest to participants at the rate of 20% per year. Compensation expense for this plan is being recorded over a 60-month period, using the straight-line amortization method adjusted for forfeitures, and is based on the market value of our stock as of the date the awards were made. Stockholders approved 903,003 shares to be granted under the MRRP and 100,653 shares are still available for future grants as of June 30, 2007. The following table summarizes shares of our common stock that were subject to award and have been granted pursuant to the MRRP as of June 30, 2007:

At or for the Three and Six Months Ended

Shares forfeited    --    --  

   Nonvested shares outstanding at end of period    176,220    336,440  

        Compensation expense related to the MRRP totaled $726,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and $1.5 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The weighted average grant date fair value of outstanding shares awarded by the MRRP was $18.64 and $18.38 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of June 30, 2007, we had $2.7 million of total unrecognized employee compensation expense related to unvested MRRP shares which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years. We realized excess tax benefits related to MRRP shares of $5,000 and $13,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

        Stock Option Plan. We established the 2003 Stock Option Plan (“SOP”) under which 2,257,508 shares of our common stock were reserved for the grant of stock options to directors, officers and employees. Stock options awarded under the SOP vest to participants at the rate of 20% per year. Compensation expense for this plan is being recorded over a 60-month period, using the straight-line amortization method adjusted for forfeitures, and is based on the fair value of our stock options as of the date the awards were made. The exercise price of the options is equal to the market price of the common stock on the grant date. Stockholders approved 2,257,508 stock options to be granted under the SOP and 359,758 of these stock options remain available for future grants as of June 30, 2007.

        The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes model. The dividend yield was calculated based on the annual dividends paid and the 12-month average closing stock price at the time of the grant. Expected volatility was based on historical volatility of our stock price at the date of grant. We have utilized historical experience to determine the expected life of the stock options and to estimate future forfeitures. All inputs into the Black-Scholes model are estimates at the time of the grant. Actual results in the future could materially differ from these estimates; however, such results would not impact future reported net income.

Note 6 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess price paid over the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired in connection with the acquisition of United Nebraska Financial Co. (“UNFC”) in 2004. There was no goodwill recorded in connection with our Marine Bank branch purchase in 2006. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. There have been no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2007 due to impairment as we are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would indicate our carrying value exceeded fair value. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

The unrealized losses are believed to be temporarily, not permanently, impaired in value. Impairment is deemed temporary if the positive evidence indicating that an investment’s carrying amount is recoverable within a reasonable time period outweighs negative evidence to the contrary. At June 30, 2007, we have the ability and intent to hold these securities until maturity.

        Our provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $10.2 million compared to $1.8 million for the same three month period one year ago. At June 30, 2007, our allowance for loan losses had increased 30.4% to $43.2 million compared to $33.1 million at December 31, 2006. Included in the $43.2 million allowance for loan losses, we have established an allowance for loan losses of $7.0 million relating to impaired loans. Total impaired loans consist primarily of $31.1 million of residential construction loans and $4.7 million of commercial real estate loans of which $4.3 million of the impaired commercial real estate loans are performing. Actual losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further changes to the level of allowance for loan losses may become necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other factors.

        At June 30, 2007, our nonperforming residential construction loans totaled $42.3 million of which $34.5 million were located in Florida. Approximately $32.5 million of our total nonperforming residential construction loans were purchased from a local Florida mortgage brokerage firm with $27.5 million of these loans located in the Cape Coral area of Lee County, Florida. As previously disclosed in our December 31, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our March 31, 2007 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we reported that these loans were made to individual home buyers wishing to build a second or retirement home.

        To limit our geographic loan concentration, we discontinued purchasing residential construction loans in the Cape Coral area from the aforementioned mortgage broker by December 31, 2005. We had total loan commitments in the Cape Coral area of $100.6 million, $119.9 million and $144.9 million at June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Disbursed funds in the Cape Coral area totaled $66.8 million, $72.9 million and $84.2 million at June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

        In the Cape Coral area, we had nonperforming residential construction loans totaling $27.5 million, $19.5 million and $9.4 million at June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2007, loans 30-89 days delinquent totaled $8.9 million compared to $7.3 million and $8.8 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, one loan was charged-off in the amount of $11,000. This is the first charge-off we have taken and we have no real estate owned properties in the Cape Coral area.

        At June 30, 2007, we have classified $31.1 million of our total residential construction loans as impaired, of which $28.4 million relate to loans purchased from the Florida mortgage broker. We have established an allowance for loan losses related to the Florida mortgage broker-related loans which have been classified as impaired of $5.7 million.

        Subsequent to the completion of the June 30, 2007 quarter, we reached an agreement with the Florida mortgage broker to transfer all loan servicing on these purchased loans to us by the end of August 2007. This step is expected to allow us to directly contact each borrower and restructure terms for their loan where appropriate. The broker has agreed to pay us $1.1 million toward settlement and release of various loss-sharing agreements made at the time the loans were originated.

        To assist in the settlement and completion of these Florida broker-related residential construction loans, we are implementing a plan to dedicate a team of Bank loan officers, servicers and collection professionals whose responsibility will be primarily focused on these loans. This team will work closely with individual borrowers, local builders, city officials, local real estate professionals and legal counsel in working toward completing homes under construction, renegotiating loan terms, servicing loans and pursuing legal and foreclosure remedies.

Note 9 — Mortgage Servicing Rights

        On January 1, 2007, we adopted SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (“SFAS No. 156”). In accordance with SFAS No. 156, we have elected to continue to utilize the amortization method for all of our mortgage servicing right assets, thus, carrying our mortgage servicing rights at the “lower of cost or market” (fair value). Under the amortization method, we amortize mortgage servicing rights in proportion to and over the period of net servicing income. Income generated as a result of new servicing assets is reported as net gain on sale of loans in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Loan servicing fees, net of amortization of mortgage servicing rights, is recorded in fees and service charges in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

        We primarily service one-to-four family residential mortgage loans that comprise a single class of servicing assets. We obtain mortgage servicing right assets when we deliver loans, both originated and purchased, “as an agent” into the secondary market on a servicing-retained basis. Initial fair value of the servicing right is calculated by a discounted cash flow model based on market value assumptions at the time of origination.

        The balance of mortgage servicing rights, net of valuation allowances, at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $12.9 million and $12.5 million, respectively. The fair values of these rights were approximately $17.6 million and $15.3 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The following are the key assumptions used in measuring the fair values of capitalized mortgage servicing rights and the sensitivity of the fair values to changes in those assumptions:

(Dollars in thousands)
June 30, 2007
December 31, 2006
Serviced loan portfolio balance $1,339,404 $1,295,418
Fair value $17,613 $15,276
Prepayment speed 6.98% - 40.01% 8.64% - 46.44%
Weighted average prepayment speed 9.81% 14.40%
     Fair value with 10% adverse change $16,862 $14,654
     Fair value with 20% adverse change $16,233 $14,034
Discount rate 9.50% - 13.00% 10.00% - 14.00%
Weighted average discount rate 10.80% 11.34%
     Fair value with 10% adverse change $16,821 $14,806
     Fair value with 20% adverse change $16,159 $14,325

        The sensitivity of the fair values is hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in the table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one assumption may result in changes in another that might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

        Mortgage Servicing Right Valuation Allowance. We evaluate the fair value of mortgage servicing rights on a quarterly basis using current prepayment speeds, cash flow and discount rate estimates. Changes in these estimates impact fair value and could require us to record a valuation allowance or recovery. Our evaluation of mortgage servicing rights at June 30, 2007 and 2006 indicated that no valuation allowance was necessary. The amortization expense and valuation adjustment are recorded as a reduction of fees and service charges in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 12 – Unrecognized Tax Benefits

        In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 requires that we determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Once it is determined that a position meets the recognition threshold, the position is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements.

        We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and, as a result, recognized no material adjustment in our liability for unrecognized tax benefits. Unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were $3.0 million at June 30, 2007. Unrecognized tax benefits of $133,000 and interest and penalties of $270,000 would favorably affect our effective tax rate if recognized in future periods. Unrecognized tax benefits of $601,000 are related to our UNFC acquisition and would reduce goodwill if recognized in future periods. The following table summarizes our unrecognized tax benefits upon adoption and for the six months ended June 30, 2007:

(Dollars in thousands)

Unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007     $ 2,443

Changes in unrecognized tax benefits from settlements with taxing authorities    --  
Changes in unrecognized tax benefits from the lapse of statutes of limitations    --  

   Unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2007   $ 3,045  

        We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. We did not record any expense related to tax interest and penalties during the six months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007, we had approximately $270,000 of accrued interest payable related to uncertain tax positions recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

        We anticipate that a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits of up to $2.2 million is reasonably possible during the next 12 months. This reduction will be principally due to a change in accounting method related to the timing of when certain deferred loan fees are recognized for tax purposes if approved by the Internal Revenue Service.

        The tax years of 2003 through 2006 remain open for examination by federal and state taxing authorities.

Note 13 – Current Accounting Pronouncements

        For a discussion regarding accounting pronouncements, interpretations, exposure drafts and other formal accounting guidance and the impact of these on our financial condition and results of operations, reference is made to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The following discussion identifies certain recently issued accounting guidance.

Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. This statement clarifies that market participant assumptions include assumptions about risk. A fair value measurement should include an adjustment for risk if market participants would include one in pricing the related asset or liability, even if the adjustment is difficult to determine. This statement also clarifies that market participant assumptions should also include assumptions about the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. This statement clarifies that fair value measurement for a liability should reflect nonperformance risk (the risk that the obligation will not be fulfilled). This statement expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. The disclosures focus on the inputs used to measure fair value and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs and the effect of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 may have on our consolidated financial statements.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides an alternative measurement treatment for certain financial assets and liabilities, under an instrument-by-instrument election, that permits fair value to be used for both initial and subsequent measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 159 may have on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

General

        TierOne Bank (“Bank”), a subsidiary of TierOne Corporation (“Company”), is a $3.5 billion federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska. Established in 1907, the Bank offers customers a wide variety of full-service consumer, commercial and agricultural banking products and services through a network of 69 banking offices located in Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas and nine loan production offices located in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Nevada and North Carolina. Product offerings include residential, commercial and agricultural real estate loans; consumer, construction, business and agricultural operating loans; warehouse mortgage lines of credit; consumer and business checking and savings plans; investment and insurance services; and telephone and internet banking.

        Our results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on our assets, primarily our loan and securities portfolios, and our cost of funds, which consists of the interest paid on our deposits and borrowings. Our net income is also affected by our provision for loan losses, noninterest income, noninterest expense and income tax expense. Noninterest income generally includes fees and service charges, debit card fees, net income from real estate operations, net gain on sales of investment securities, loans held for sale and real estate owned and other operating income. Noninterest expense consists of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, data processing, advertising and other operating expense. Our earnings are significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates and U.S. Treasury yield curves, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

        As used in this report, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to the Company and the Bank.

Recent Developments

        On May 17, 2007, TierOne Corporation, CapitalSource Inc. (“CapitalSource”) and CapitalSource TRS Inc. (“CapitalSource TRS”) entered into and announced an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with and into CapitalSource TRS (“Merger”), with CapitalSource TRS continuing as the surviving corporation.

        Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Company common stock (other than certain shares owned by the Company), par value $0.01 per share (“TierOne Common Stock”), will be converted into the right to receive the following (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”):

  $6.80 in cash; plus
  0.675 shares of CapitalSource common stock; plus
  if the ten-day average closing price of CapitalSource common stock prior to the closing of the Merger is:
  (a) less than or equal to $25.1852, then 0.405 shares of CapitalSource common stock; or
  (b) greater than $25.1852, then TierOne Corporation stockholders can elect to receive either $10.20 in cash or $10.20 of CapitalSource common stock.

        The Company and CapitalSource have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants regarding the conduct of their businesses and other activities between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger, and have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger. In addition, the Company has made certain additional covenants, including covenants to cause a stockholder meeting to be held to consider approval of the Merger and for the Company’s Board of Directors to, subject to certain exceptions, recommend adoption by its stockholders of the Merger Agreement. Furthermore, the Company is not to solicit or facilitate proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions, or, subject to certain exceptions, enter into discussions concerning alternative business combination transactions.

        If CapitalSource’s average common stock price declines to certain specified levels in absolute terms and relative to a published industry index, the Merger Agreement contains triggers allowing the Company to renegotiate the Merger Consideration or terminate the transaction. The Merger Agreement also contains other termination rights for both the Company and CapitalSource. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement, under specified circumstances, CapitalSource may be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $40.0 million or, under other specified circumstances, the Company may be required to pay CapitalSource a termination fee of $24.0 million. The Merger Agreement also calls for a limited reimbursement of the other party’s expenses under certain circumstances.

        Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including, without limitation, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties (subject generally to a material adverse effect standard), regulatory approval and Company stockholder approval. The Merger Agreement and related documents contain provisions that exclude under certain circumstances the impact that any deterioration or adverse changes in the loans serviced by the Florida mortgage broker primarily in the Cape Coral area as hereinafter discussed under Allowance for Loan Losses may have on the obligations of the parties to complete the Merger. As a result, the Company believes that the impact resulting from these loans to date should not negatively affect the consummation of the proposed Merger.

        The Merger is currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2007. On June 29, 2007, CapitalSource filed a Form H-(e)1 “Application for the Acquisition of TierOne Bank by the Merger of TierOne Corporation into CapitalSource TRS Inc.” with the Office of Thrift Supervision. Additionally, on July 13, 2007 CapitalSource filed a joint proxy / prospectus statement relating to the merger on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

35


        Due to the proposed merger with CapitalSource, and as reflected in this Form 10-Q, the Company has experienced restrictions in certain funding opportunities; certain one-time merger related expenses; an increased commitment of time by Company personnel working with federal regulatory agencies in connection with merger-related issues; and restrictions in the Company’s ability to repurchase its common stock. These activities have and may continue to further impact the Company’s financial performance.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006

Assets

        General. Our total assets were $3.5 billion at June 30, 2007, an increase of $64.0 million, or 1.9%, compared to December 31, 2006.

        Investment Securities. Our available for sale investment securities totaled $136.2 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $31.2 million, or 29.7%, compared to $105.0 million at December 31, 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 we had security purchases of $106.6 million which were partially offset by $76.0 million in proceeds from maturing and sold investment securities. The securities purchased during 2007 were primarily U.S. Treasury securities that were purchased to collateralize deposits.

        Mortgage-Backed Securities. Our mortgage-backed securities, all of which are recorded as available for sale, totaled $9.0 million at June 30, 2007, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 26.6%, compared to $12.3 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease in our mortgage-backed securities was the result of $3.3 million of principal payments received during the six months ended June 30, 2007.




37


        Loans Receivable. Net loans totaled $3.1 billion at June 30, 2007, an increase of $42.9 million, or 1.4%, compared to December 31, 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we originated $838.9 million of loans (exclusive of warehouse mortgage lines of credit) and purchased $237.7 million of loans. These increases were partially offset by $989.8 million of principal repayments and $137.7 million of loan sales. The following table details the composition of our loan portfolio at the dates indicated:

(2) Loans in process represents the undisbursed portion of construction and land development loans.  

        The increase in our commercial construction loan portfolio was primarily attributable to loan originations during the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decline in our residential construction loan portfolio was primarily attributable to a reduction in the volume of loans we purchased from mortgage brokers in order to manage loan concentrations in certain areas of the United States. The changes in the remainder of our loan portfolio were attributable to loan repayments and prepayments and loan refinancing activity.

        We are not currently engaged in, nor do we intend to acquire sub-prime loans.

        Allowance for Loan Losses. Our allowance for loan losses increased $10.1 million, or 30.4%, to $43.2 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $33.1 million at December 31, 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 we recorded provisions for loan losses totaling $11.7 million and net charge-offs of $1.6 million. Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 79.24% at June 30, 2007 compared to 110.25% at December 31, 2006. Our ratio of the allowance for loan losses to net loans was 1.40% and 1.09% at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

38


        Our provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $10.2 million compared to $1.8 million for the same three month period one year ago. At June 30, 2007, our allowance for loan losses had increased 30.4% to $43.2 million compared to $33.1 million at December 31, 2006. Included in the $43.2 million allowance for loan losses, we have established an allowance for loan losses of $7.0 million relating to impaired loans. Total impaired loans consist primarily of $31.1 million of residential construction loans and $4.7 million of commercial real estate loans of which $4.3 million of the impaired commercial real estate loans are performing. Actual losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further changes to the level of allowance for loan losses may become necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other factors.

        Nonperforming loans increased $24.5 million, or 81.5%, to $54.5 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $30.1 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in nonperforming loans at June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to residential construction loans.

        At June 30, 2007, our nonperforming residential construction loans totaled $42.3 million of which $34.5 million were located in Florida. Approximately $32.5 million of our total nonperforming residential construction loans were purchased from a local Florida mortgage brokerage firm with $27.5 million of these loans located in the Cape Coral area of Lee County, Florida. As previously disclosed in our December 31, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our March 31, 2007 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we reported that these loans were made to individual home buyers wishing to build a second or retirement home.

        To limit our geographic loan consideration, we discontinued purchasing residential construction loans in the Cape Coral area from the aforementioned mortgage broker by December 31, 2005. We had total loan commitments in the Cape Coral area of $100.6 million, $119.9 million and $144.9 million at June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Disbursed funds in the Cape Coral area totaled $66.8 million, $72.9 million and $84.2 million at June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

        In the Cape Coral area, we had nonperforming residential construction loans totaling $27.5 million, $19.5 million and $9.4 million at June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2007, loans 30-89 days delinquent totaled $8.9 million compared to $7.3 million and $8.8 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 one loan was charged-off in the amount of $11,000. This is the first charge-off we have taken and we have no real estate owned properties in the Cape Coral area.

        At June 30, 2007, we have classified $31.1 million of our total residential construction loans as impaired, of which $28.4 million relate to loans purchased from the Florida mortgage broker. We have established an allowance for loan losses related to the Florida mortgage broker-related loans which have been classified as impaired of $5.7 million.

        Subsequent to the completion of the June 30, 2007 quarter, we reached an agreement with the Florida mortgage broker to transfer all loan servicing on these purchased loans to us by the end of August 2007. This step is expected to allow us to directly contact each borrower and restructure terms for their loan where appropriate. The broker has agreed to pay us $1.1 million toward settlement and release of various loss-sharing agreements made at the time the loans were originated.

        To assist in the settlement and completion of these Florida broker-related residential construction loans, we are implementing a plan to dedicate a team of Bank loan officers, servicers and collection professionals whose responsibility will be primarily focused on these loans. This team will work closely with individual borrowers, local builders, city officials, local real estate professionals and legal counsel in working toward completing homes under construction, renegotiating loan terms, servicing loans and pursuing legal and foreclosure remedies.

        FHLBank Topeka Stock. FHLBank Topeka (“FHLBank”) stock totaled $63.9 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $1.9 million, or 3.1%, compared to $62.0 million at December 31, 2006. The increase was attributable to FHLBank stock dividends received during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

        Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment decreased $657,000, or 1.7%, to $39.2 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $39.8 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease was attributable to $2.0 million of depreciation and amortization expense which was partially offset by $1.4 million in asset additions.

39


        Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill totaled $42.2 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and relates to the 2004 acquisition of United Nebraska Financial Co. (“UNFC”). There was no goodwill recorded in connection with our Marine Bank branch purchase in June 2006. Goodwill declined $66,000, or 0.2%, at June 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 due to an adjustment resulting from the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48.

        Other Intangible Assets. Other intangible assets totaled $7.5 million at June 30, 2007, a decrease of $847,000, or 10.1%, compared to $8.4 million at December 31, 2006 and relates to the core deposit intangible assets recorded as a result of the UNFC acquisition and the Marine Bank transaction. The decrease was attributable to $847,000 in amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

        Other Assets. Other assets increased $9.6 million, or 43.8%, to $31.7 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $22.0 million at December 31, 2006. Other assets consists primarily of prepaid expenses, miscellaneous receivables and other assets.

Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity

        General. Our total liabilities were $3.1 billion at June 30, 2007, an increase of $49.3 million compared to December 31, 2006. We utilized increased deposits to reduce our FHLBank advances and to fund lending activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

        Deposits. Deposits increased $189.9 million, or 9.3%, to $2.2 billion at June 30, 2007 compared to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2006.

The number of transaction accounts increased by 2,894 accounts, or 2.3%, to 131,494 accounts compared to 128,600 accounts at December 31, 2006. The weighted average interest rate of our transaction accounts was 1.75% at June 30, 2007 compared to 1.68% at December 31, 2006. The increase in our time deposits was primarily the result of a marketing promotion during the three months ended June 30, 2007. The weighted average interest rate of our time deposits was 5.03% at June 30, 2007 compared to 4.81% at December 31, 2006.

        FHLBank Advances and Other Borrowings. Our FHLBank advances and other borrowings totaled $815.0 million at June 30, 2007, a decrease of $147.4 million, or 15.3%, compared to $962.4 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease in FHLBank advances and other borrowings at June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to the utilization of increased deposits to reduce our FHLBank advances. The weighted average interest rate on FHLBank advances executed during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 3.94%. The weighted average interest rate on FHLBank advances which matured or were called by the FHLBank during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 3.86%. We had an outstanding balance on our FHLBank line of credit of $1.6 million at June 30, 2007 compared to an outstanding balance of $72.5 million at December 31, 2006. The weighted average interest rate on our FHLBank advances and other borrowings was 4.38% at June 30, 2007, a decrease of two basis points compared to 4.40% at December 31, 2006.

        Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities. Our accrued expenses and other liabilities totaled $35.8 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $6.4 million, or 21.9%, compared to $29.3 million at December 31, 2006. The primary items comprising accrued expenses and other liabilities are accrued taxes payable, deferred compensation agreements, loan servicing payments and other miscellaneous accrued expenses.

        Stockholders’ Equity. At June 30, 2007, stockholders’ equity totaled $368.0 million, an increase of $14.7 million, or 4.2%, compared to $353.3 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in stockholders’ equity primarily reflected net income of $11.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, $2.1 million related to common stock earned by participants in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), $1.5 million related to amortization of awards under the 2003 Management Recognition and Retention Plan (“MRRP”) and $841,000 related to amortization of stock options under the 2003 Stock Option Plan (“SOP”). These increases were partially offset by $2.5 million in cash dividends paid to our stockholders. We paid cash dividends of $0.07 per share and $0.08 per common share on March 30, 2007 and June 29, 2007 to stockholders of record on March 15, 2007 and June 15, 2007, respectively.

        On July 27, 2004, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 1,828,581 shares of our outstanding common stock. There is no stated expiration date for this authorization. We repurchased 7,111 shares of our outstanding common stock to support employee benefit programs during the six months ended June 30, 2007. After accounting for earlier repurchases, at June 30, 2007, the total remaining common stock repurchase authority was 1,519,948 shares. For further discussion regarding our common stock repurchases, see Part II, Item 2 “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds”.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

        Net Income. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $2.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share ($0.15 per basic share), compared to net income of $9.7 million, or $0.57 per diluted share ($0.59 per basic share), for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $11.8 million, or $0.69 per diluted share ($0.71 per basic share), compared to net income of $18.9 million, or $1.11 per diluted share ($1.15 per basic share), for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

        Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the most significant component of our earnings and consists of interest income on interest-earning assets offset by interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, net interest spread and net interest margin. Volume relates to the level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest spread refers to the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin refers to net interest income divided by total interest-earning assets and is influenced by the level and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

        Net interest income, average interest rate spread and net interest margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 were negatively affected by the increased balance of our nonperforming loans as we do not recognize interest income on loans 90 days or more past due. We had nonperforming loans totaling $54.5 million and $17.4 million at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

        Net interest income before provision for loan losses totaled $30.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $720,000, or 2.3%, compared to $31.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily attributable to a 111 basis point increase in the average interest rate paid on time deposits. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our net interest income totaled $61.9 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 2.2%, compared to $60.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets.

        Our average interest rate spread for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 3.36% and 3.75%, respectively. Our average interest rate spread was 3.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 3.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in our average interest rate spread was attributable to the increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily time deposits, being greater than the increase in the yield earned on our interest-earning assets, primarily our net loan portfolio. Additionally, our average yield earned on loans receivable was negatively affected by the increased balance of our nonperforming loans.

42


        The average yield on interest-earning assets was 7.35% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, a 25 basis point increase compared to 7.10% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets was primarily related to an increase in the average yield earned on loans receivable. Our average yield earned on loans receivable for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 7.50% and 7.23%, respectively. Our average yield earned on loans receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 7.51% and 7.03%, respectively. This increase was primarily the result of our lending strategy to focus on loans with relatively higher yields, adjustable interest rates and/or shorter terms to maturity. Our average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 3.99% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 64 basis points compared to 3.35% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Our average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 3.94% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 71 basis points compared to 3.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was primarily the result of customers migrating to higher-yielding deposit products such as time deposits and money market accounts coupled with increased borrowing cost associated with FHLBank advances.

        Our net interest margin (net interest income (annualized) divided by average interest-earning assets) declined to 3.79% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 4.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in our net interest margin was attributable to the increased balance of our nonperforming loans and the increased average interest rate on our interest-bearing liabilities, primarily time deposits.

        Our net interest margin was 3.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 3.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily attributable to the increased average interest rate on our interest-bearing liabilities, primarily time deposits. This decrease was partially offset by the increase in the average balance and average yield earned on loans receivable.

        Our average interest rate spread and net interest margin may compress throughout 2007 due to increased deposit interest costs, refinancing of our FHLBank advances and other borrowings and increased levels of nonperforming loans.

         Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table shows the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-related assets and liabilities affected our interest income and expense during the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to: (1) changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume), and (2) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior year rate). The combined effect of changes in both rate and volume has been allocated proportionately to the change due to rate and the change due to volume.

        Interest Income. Our total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $59.5 million, an increase of $4.7 million, or 8.6%, compared to $54.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Interest income on loans receivable totaled $56.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $3.8 million, or 7.2%, compared to $52.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The average balance of loans receivable increased $99.3 million, or 3.4%, to $3.0 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The average yield earned on loans receivable increased to 7.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 7.23% for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

46


        For the six months ended June 30, 2007 our total interest income was $118.2 million, an increase of $13.2 million, or 12.6%, compared to $105.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Interest income on loans receivable totaled $112.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $11.8 million, or 11.7%, compared to $100.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average balance of loans receivable totaled $3.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $128.0 million, or 4.5%, compared to $2.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average yield earned on the loan portfolio was 7.51% and 7.03% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

        The increase in total interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to an increase in interest income on loans receivable. The increase in interest income on loans receivable was primarily attributable to an increase in the average yield earned on loans receivable and to a lesser extent an increase in the average balance of loans receivable. The increase in the average yield earned on and average balance of loans receivable was primarily the result of our lending strategy to focus on and sustain our holdings of loans with relatively higher yields, adjustable interest rates and/or shorter terms to maturity.

        Interest Expense. Our total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $28.9 million, an increase of $5.4 million, or 23.2%, compared to $23.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Interest expense on deposits totaled $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $5.1 million, or 35.7%, compared to $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Interest expense on FHLBank advances and other borrowings increased $334,000, or 3.7%, to $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 3.84% and 3.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The average rate paid on FHLBank advances and other borrowings increased to 4.36% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 4.12% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Additionally, the average balance of our interest-bearing liabilities totaled $2.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $96.6 million, or 3.5%, compared to $2.8 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The average balance of our interest-bearing deposits increased $114.3 million, or 6.0%, to $2.0 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The average balance of our FHLBank advances and other borrowings totaled $871.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $17.6 million, or 2.0%, compared to $889.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

        Our total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $56.3 million, an increase of $11.8 million, or 26.6%, compared to $44.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Interest expense on deposits totaled $37.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $9.9 million, or 35.9%, compared to $27.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Interest expense on FHLBank advance and other borrowings increased $2.0 million, or 11.7%, to $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $17.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 3.76% and 2.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The average rate paid on FHLBank advances and other borrowings increased to 4.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 3.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Additionally, the average balance of our interest-bearing liabilities totaled $2.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $105.3 million, or 3.8%, compared to $2.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average balance of our interest-bearing deposits increased $81.1 million, or 4.3%, to $2.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average balance of our FHLBank advances and other borrowings totaled $881.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $24.2 million, or 2.8%, compared to $857.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

47


        The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to an increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. This increase was primarily the result of the increase in the average rate paid on time deposits which was the result of marketing promotions designed to attract new customers. Additionally, the increase was also attributable to customers migrating to higher-yielding deposit products.

        Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we believe, to the best of our knowledge, covers all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. Management performs reviews no less frequently than quarterly in order to identify these inherent losses and to assess the overall collection probability for the loan portfolio. Our reviews consist of a quantitative analysis by loan category, using historical loss experience, and consideration of a series of qualitative loss factors (See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Critical Accounting Policies – Allowance for Loan Losses”).

        We recorded a provision for loan losses of $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $8.4 million, or 465.1%. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 our provision for loan losses totaled $11.7 million, an increase of $8.6 million, or 272.4%, compared to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in our provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily attributable to the increase in our nonperforming residential construction loans. At June 30, 2007 our nonperforming residential construction loans totaled $42.3 million, an increase of $35.4 million, or 512.6%, compared to $6.9 million at June 30, 2006. Our focus on loans with relatively higher yields, adjustable interest rates and/or shorter terms to maturity also subjects us to a potentially higher degree of credit risk. Our loan delinquency rate (30 or more days delinquent) at June 30, 2007 as a percentage of net loans (before allowance for loan losses) was 2.95% compared to 1.89% at December 31, 2006 and 1.50% at June 30, 2006. Our level of nonperforming loans and loan delinquencies may continue to increase for the foreseeable future.

        During the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we charged-off, net of recoveries, $926,000 and $1.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we charged-off, net of recoveries, $1.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, during the six months ended June 30, 2007 consisted primarily of $951,000 of consumer loans, $379,000 of business loans and $327,000 of residential construction loans. Our charge-offs, net of recoveries, as a percentage of average loans outstanding were 0.11% and 0.13% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our strategy of focusing on loans with relatively higher yields, adjustable interest rates and/or shorter terms to maturity subjects us to an increased level of credit risk which has resulted in an increased amount of nonperforming loans, loan delinquencies and charge-offs.

         Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $7.3 million, an increase of $129,000, or 1.8%, compared to $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

        Growth in noninterest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily attributable to the increase in the gain on loans held for sale and the increase in deposit account and debit card fees. These increases were partially offset by an increase in losses from the sale of real estate owned and decreased lending fees and service charges. The increase in deposit account and debit card fees was largely due to an increase in the number of transaction accounts and in the volume of activity. The decrease in lending fees and service charges was primarily attributable to decreased residential construction lending volume.

        The increase in noninterest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily attributable to increases in employee compensation, employee benefits, payroll taxes and professional services. The increase in employee compensation, employee benefits and payroll taxes resulted from personnel growth and annual salary increases. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, we had 854 and 827 full-time equivalent employees, respectively. We had 850 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2006. The increase in professional services expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily related to consulting, legal and accounting services associated with the Merger Agreement.

        Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense decreased by $3.6 million, or 58.9%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Our income tax expense decreased by $3.4 million, or 28.9%, to $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006 was primarily due to a decrease in net income resulting from an increase in interest expense and an increased provision for loan losses. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 50.4% compared to 38.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 41.4% compared to 38.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in our effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to $965,000 of nondeductible expenses related to the Merger Agreement. Additionally, increased tax expense in the State of Nebraska has contributed to the increase effective tax rate as taxes paid in the state of Nebraska are based on average deposit balances rather than net income.

Liquidity

        Our primary sources of funds are deposits; amortization of loans; loan prepayments and maturity of loans; maturity or sale of investment and mortgage-backed securities; and other funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments can be greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We utilize FHLBank advances and other borrowings and brokered time deposits as additional funding sources.

        We actively manage our liquidity in an effort to maintain an adequate liquidity margin over the level necessary to support expected and potential loan fundings and deposit withdrawals. Our liquidity level may vary throughout the year, depending on economic conditions, deposit fluctuations and loan funding needs.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash provided by operating activities was $12.4 million, which consisted primarily of net income. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $61.0 million and primarily related to the purchase of available for sale investment securities partially offset by cash inflows from matured investment securities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $41.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and consisted primarily of cash inflows from deposits partially offset by cash outflows related to the repayment of FHLBank advances (including line of credit) and cash dividends paid on our common stock.

        Deposits, particularly core deposits, provide a more preferable source of funding than FHLBank advances and other borrowings. However, to the extent that competitive or market factors do not allow us to meet our funding needs with deposits alone, FHLBank advances and other borrowings provide a readily available alternative source of liquidity. Deposits increased $189.9 million, or 9.3%, to $2.2 billion at June 30, 2007 compared to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2006. The increase in deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was used to reduce our FHLBank advances and fund lending activities. At June 30, 2007, we had time deposits maturing within the next 12 months amounting to $1.2 billion. Based upon historical experience, we anticipate that a significant portion of the maturing time deposits will be renewed with us.

        In addition to cash flows generated by loan and securities payments and prepayments, we have additional borrowing capacity to fund our asset growth. The average balance of our FHLBank advances and other borrowings was $881.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $857.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. To date, substantially all of our borrowings have consisted of FHLBank advances. Pursuant to blanket collateral agreements with the FHLBank, we have pledged qualifying residential, multi-family residential and commercial real estate mortgages, residential construction, commercial construction and agricultural real estate loans as collateral for our FHLBank advances.

Aggregate Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We have sufficient liquidity to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing time deposits and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets and to meet operating expenses. At June 30, 2007, we had the following contractual obligations (excluding bank deposits and interest) and lending commitments:

(2) Loans in process represents the undisbursed portion of construction and land development loans.  

        We have not used, and have no intention to use, any significant off-balance sheet financing arrangements for liquidity purposes or otherwise. Our primary financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk are limited to loan servicing for others, our obligations to fund loans to customers pursuant to existing commitments and commitments to purchase and sell mortgage loans. In addition, we have certain risks due to limited recourse arrangements on loans serviced for others and recourse obligations related to loan sales. At June 30, 2007, the maximum total dollar amount of such recourse was approximately $18.2 million. Based on historical experience, at June 30, 2007, we had established a liability of $732,000 with respect to this recourse obligation. In addition, we have not had, and have no intention to have, any significant transactions, arrangements or other relationships with any unconsolidated, special purpose entities.

53


Regulatory Capital

        We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

        Quantitative measures that have been established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require that we maintain minimum capital amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table). Our primary regulatory agency, the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), requires that we maintain minimum ratios of tangible capital (as defined in the regulations) of 1.5%, core capital (as defined) of 4.0% and total risk-based capital (as defined) of 8.0%. As of June 30, 2007, we exceed all capital requirements to which we are subject.

        As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the most recent notifications from the OTS categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework. There are no conditions or events since these notifications that we believe have changed the Bank’s category. The actual capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are presented in the following table:

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

        For a discussion of our asset and liability management policies as well as the methods used to manage our exposure to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Asset and Liability Management” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. There has been no material change in our market risk position since our prior disclosures.

Item 4 — Controls and Procedures.

        Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the date of such evaluation to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 — Legal Proceedings.

        Except litigation relating to certain goodwill claims against the United States (“U.S.”) described below, we are not involved in any pending legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. Such routine legal proceedings, in the aggregate, are believed by management to be immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.

        On October 31, 2006, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (“Federal Claims Court”) issued an opinion finding the U.S. liable to the Bank for lost franchise value related to our damages claim against the U.S. for breach of contract following changes to the rules for computing our regulatory capital that were required by the adoption of the Financial Institution Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. The Federal Claims Court’s opinion awarding the Bank $4.5 million in damages was appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“Court of Appeals”) by the U.S. on December 29, 2006. The Bank subsequently filed a cross-appeal seeking review of earlier liability rulings which absolved the U.S. of liability in connection with two other related merger transactions and reduced the amount of the Bank’s potential recovery.

        All briefs on appeal have now been filed with the Court of Appeals and, at the date of this filing, we anticipate the Court of Appeals will schedule oral argument of the appeal later in 2007. There can be no assurance as to the type or amount of damages, if any, that we may recover or the timing, if we are successful, for receipt by us of any damages from the U.S.

Item 1A – Risk Factors.

        There were no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The following risk factors relate to the Merger Agreement:

Because the market price of CapitalSource common stock will fluctuate, our stockholders cannot be sure of the value of the merger consideration they will receive.

        If the Merger is completed, the holders of each share of Company common stock owned prior to the closing of the Merger will be entitled to:

  $6.80 in cash; plus
  0.675 shares of CapitalSource common stock; plus
  If the CapitalSource closing price is:
  a) less than or equal to $25.1852, then 0.405 shares of CapitalSource common stock; or
  b) greater than $25.1852, then a Company stockholder can elect to receive either $10.20 in cash or $10.20 of CapitalSource common stock.

57


Under the Merger Agreement, the stated maximum amount of CapitalSource stock that a Company stockholder may receive is 1.08 shares. To the extent the merger consideration is paid in CapitalSource shares, any change in the market price of CapitalSource common stock prior to completion of the Merger will affect the value of the merger consideration that our stockholders will receive upon completion of the Merger. Because of this market risk, at the time of our special meeting and prior to the election deadline, our stockholders will not know or be able to calculate the number or the value of the shares of CapitalSource common stock they will receive upon completion of the Merger. We are not permitted to resolicit the vote of our stockholders solely because of changes in the market price of CapitalSource common stock. Accordingly, the specific dollar value of CapitalSource common stock a stockholder will receive will depend on the market value of CapitalSource common stock at the time the Merger is completed and may change from the date the stockholder submits proxy/voting instructions or makes an election as to the third component of the merger consideration. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in the Company’s or CapitalSource’s respective businesses, operations and prospects, and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are beyond our control. Our stockholders should obtain current market quotations for shares of CapitalSource common stock and for shares of our common stock.

CapitalSource and the Company must obtain regulatory approvals to complete the Merger, which, if delayed, not granted, or granted with unacceptable conditions, may jeopardize or postpone the completion of the Merger, result in additional expenditures of money and resources or reduce the anticipated benefits of the Merger.

        CapitalSource and the Company must obtain certain approval in a timely manner from the Office of Thrift Supervision prior to completion of the Merger. If CapitalSource and the Company do not receive the Office of Thrift Supervision’s approval, or do not receive it on terms that satisfy the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, then neither party will be obligated, or in some cases permitted, to complete the Merger. The Office of Thrift Supervision has broad discretion in administering the governing statutes and regulations. As a condition to approval of the Merger, the Office of Thrift Supervision may impose requirements, limitations or costs that could negatively affect the way the combined companies conduct business. These requirements, limitations or costs could jeopardize or delay the completion of the Merger.

Companies holding more than 10% of the outstanding shares of CapitalSource common stock may affect or delay the approval of the Merger by the Office of Thrift Supervision. If these holders do not become savings and loan holding companies, or the Office of Thrift Supervision does not accept a rebuttal of control from them, regulatory approval of the Merger would not be obtainable, and the Merger could not be completed.

        Under the Office of Thrift Supervision’s regulations, companies holding more than 10% of CapitalSource’s outstanding common stock may be presumed to control CapitalSource, subject to the opportunity to rebut this presumption by obtaining the Office of Thrift Supervision’s acceptance of a rebuttal submission. If a company holding 10% or more of CapitalSource’s outstanding common stock does not rebut the presumption of control, or reduce its holdings to less than 10% of CapitalSource’s outstanding common stock, it would be required to obtain the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision to become a savings and loan holding company prior to completion of the Merger. Some or all of CapitalSource’s 10% or greater stockholders may not be willing to become a savings and loan holding company. As a result, if the Office of Thrift Supervision does not accept a rebuttal of control from them, then regulatory approval of the Merger would not be obtainable, and the Merger could not be completed. While it is anticipated that all of the current CapitalSource stockholders that will hold more than 10% of CapitalSource’s outstanding common stock upon consummation of the proposed Merger will make rebuttal submissions, these submissions may include requests from the submitters to modify the Office of Thrift Supervision’s standard provisions for these matters and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that the Office of Thrift Supervision will accept any rebuttal filing or, if ultimately accepted, that the Office of Thrift Supervision’s consideration of the control issue will not delay materially its processing of CapitalSource’s application generally.

58


The Merger Agreement allows CapitalSource the option to terminate the Merger Agreement at its discretion in some circumstances unrelated to the ability of CapitalSource or the Company to complete the Merger.

CapitalSource can terminate the Merger Agreement if:

  CapitalSource enters into an agreement with a third party providing for that third party’s acquisition of CapitalSource, and CapitalSource pays a reverse termination fee of $40 million; or

  The ten-day average closing price of CapitalSource common stock on the date on which the last required government approval is obtained is less than $20, and CapitalSource pays the reverse termination fee of $40 million.

If CapitalSource terminates the Merger Agreement under these circumstances, then the Merger will not be completed. We currently expect that the last required government approval of the Merger will be obtained in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact our stock price and future business and operations.

        If the Merger is not completed, we may be subject to a number of material risks, including the following:

  we may be required to pay CapitalSource a termination fee or reimburse it for a portion of its expenses;
  the price of our common stock may decline if the current market price of our common stock reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be completed; and
  our costs related to the Merger, such as legal, accounting and certain financial advisor fees, generally must be paid even if the Merger is not completed.

        In addition, our customers and suppliers may, in response to the announcement of the Merger, delay or defer decisions concerning us. Any delay or deferral in those decisions by our customers or suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business, regardless of whether or not the Merger is ultimately completed. Similarly, current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future role with CapitalSource until CapitalSource’s strategies with regard to us are announced or executed. This uncertainty may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key management, sales, marketing and technical personnel.

        Further, if the Merger is terminated and our Board of Directors decides to pursue another Merger or business combination, there can be no assurance that we will be able to find a partner willing to pay an equivalent or more attractive price than CapitalSource would have paid in the Merger.

CapitalSource and the Company may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Merger.

        We entered into the Merger Agreement with the expectation that the Merger will result in significant benefits for both companies. Achieving the benefits of the Merger will depend in part on integrating the operations and personnel of the two companies in a timely and efficient manner to minimize the risk that the Merger will result in the loss of customers or key employees or the diversion of management’s attention from other important issues.

        CapitalSource and the Company will need to overcome significant issues to realize any benefits or synergies from the Merger. The Bank is a closely regulated entity, and CapitalSource does not have experience operating in our closely regulated markets. Furthermore, the principal offices of the Bank are located in Lincoln, Nebraska, while the principal offices of CapitalSource are located in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and there are currently no plans to relocate or combine either of these principal offices. For the Merger to be successful, CapitalSource and the Company will have to successfully integrate certain of the Company’s products, services, personnel and operations with CapitalSource’s products, services, personnel and operations. This integration will involve considerable execution risk and may or may not be successful. We cannot offer any assurances that CapitalSource and the Company can successfully integrate or realize any of the anticipated benefits.

        In addition, the attention and effort devoted to the integration of the two companies will significantly divert management’s attention from other important issues, and could seriously harm the combined company.

Applicable regulations affecting savings and loan holding companies could negatively impact both CapitalSource’s commercial lending and investing business and the business of the Bank following the Merger.

        Currently, CapitalSource is not regulated as a savings and loan holding company or bank holding company and does not control any FDIC-insured depository institution. Savings banks such as the Bank are subject to extensive regulation of their activities and investments, their capitalization, their risk management policies and procedures, and their relationships with affiliated companies. Upon acquiring control of the Bank and becoming a savings and loan holding company, CapitalSource’s operations will be limited to financial and certain real estate-related activities. These limitations may require CapitalSource to curtail or divest some of its current commercial lending and investment business activities. For instance, in connection with its loans used by financial sponsors to finance purchases of companies, CapitalSource commonly is granted the opportunity to acquire equity in a borrower at the same time and on substantially the same terms as the financial sponsor. Some of these equity investments exceed 5% of the borrower’s equity. If CapitalSource does not acquire merchant banking authority that will enable it to conform these equity investments of more than 5% in non-financial entities to the requirements of the Home Owners’ Loan Act within two years of the acquisition of the Company, it will be required to divest them.

        In addition, as a condition to approving the Merger, the Office of Thrift Supervision may impose restrictions on the integration of the Bank’s banking and CapitalSource’s commercial lending and investing businesses, and may require prior approval of any future material changes to the Bank’s business plans. These regulations and conditions could constrain CapitalSource in pursuing future business opportunities following the Merger. These regulations and conditions, and CapitalSource’s inexperience with them, could also affect CapitalSource’s ability to realize synergies from the Merger, and could negatively affect both CapitalSource and the Bank following the Merger.

The value of the CapitalSource common stock our stockholders receive in the Merger may fluctuate after the Merger. Neither CapitalSource nor the Company can predict how the CapitalSource common stock will trade subsequent to the closing of the Merger.

        Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in CapitalSource’s businesses, operations and prospects, and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are beyond CapitalSource’s control. The market price of CapitalSource common stock may decline as a result of the Merger if:

  the integration of CapitalSource and the Company is unsuccessful;
  CapitalSource and the Company do not achieve the perceived benefits of the Merger as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts; or
  the effect of the Merger on the combined company’s financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

The Merger Agreement limits our ability to pursue alternatives to the Merger.

        The Merger Agreement contains terms and conditions that make it more difficult for us to sell our business to a party other than CapitalSource. These “no shop” provisions impose restrictions on us that, subject to certain exceptions, limit our ability to discuss or facilitate competing third-party proposals to acquire all or a significant part of our company.

        In addition, our Board of Directors has agreed that it will not recommend a competing acquisition proposal and that it will not withdraw or negatively modify the recommendation that our stockholders vote for approval of the Merger Agreement, subject to limited exceptions. While our Board of Directors could take such actions if it determined that the failure to do so would violate its fiduciary duties, doing so would entitle CapitalSource to terminate the Merger Agreement and would require us to pay CapitalSource a termination fee. We will also be required to pay the termination fee if (1) a competing takeover proposal meeting certain requirements is made to us or our stockholders or has been publicly announced, (2) the Merger Agreement is terminated by CapitalSource or us because the Merger has not been completed within nine months of signing and stockholder approval has not been obtained, or because the stockholders do not approve the Merger at the stockholder meeting, or the Merger Agreement is terminated by CapitalSource due to our breach of the Merger Agreement, and (3) we complete or enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an alternative transaction within 12 months of termination. These provisions might discourage a third party that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of us from considering or proposing that acquisition even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share market price than the current proposed Merger consideration, and the termination fee might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire us than it might otherwise have proposed to pay.
