The 6.6% increase in total net revenues from Q2 2005 to Q2 2006 resulted primarily from an increase in the portfolio and higher whole loan sales, which were partially offset by a lower gain on sale of loans. Net interest income after provision increased 18.4% from $54.9 million in Q2 2005 to $65.0 million in Q2 2006, primarily due to the larger loan portfolio, partially offset by a lower net interest margin percentage.

. The increase in the size of the loan portfolio from Q2 2005 resulted primarily from four large quarterly securitizations structured as financings. Provision for losses decreased 27.8% from Q2 2005 to Q2 2006 due primarily to lower growth in loans held for investment, which was $46.3 million this quarter, compared to $611.9 million for the same period in 2005. However, the reserve balance on loans held for investment increased in dollars and as a percentage of the principal balance outstanding from last year and the last quarter. The reserve rate is now 1.6%, compared to 1.4% at June 30, 2005 and 1.5% at March 31, 2006.

The gain on sale of loans decreased 4.6% from $84.5 million in Q2 2005 to $80.7 million in Q2 2006 primarily due to lower premiums, offset in part by higher volume of whole loan sales.

 increased 8.0% from $75.1 million in Q2 2005 to $81.1 million in Q2 2006 primarily to support the increase in the serviced loan portfolio. Salaries, wages and benefits expense decreased by 0.8% from $49.7 million in Q2 2005 to $49.3 million in Q2 2006 due to the decrease in incentive compensation associated with the lower value per loan originated. General, administrative, and other expenses increased by 25.4% from $25.4 million in Q2 2005 to $31.9 million in Q2 2006 because of the increase in the serviced loan portfolio, increased depreciation expense due to additional investment in technology, increased leasing costs associated with expansion of five wholesale origination centers and the San Diego headquarters' office, and higher marketing expenses supporting increased production from the retail channel.

Loan Originations The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

The company originated $4.08 billion of mortgage loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to $4.14 billion of mortgage loan originations in Q2 2005, a decrease of 1.5%. Volume from the retail channel grew from $363.7 in Q2 2005 million to $518.7 million for the same period in 2006, an increase of 42.6%.

Wholesale and retail originations for the quarter represented 87% and 13% of total loan production, respectively, reflecting a higher growth rate in the retail channel.

The company's net cost to originate mortgage loans was 1.34% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to 1.73% in Q2 2005. Management believes this measurement is beneficial to investors because it provides a measurement of the efficiency of the loan origination process. Additional detail on the calculation of net cost to originate can be found in the Financial Summary at the end of this release.

Loan Dispositions

Portfolio Performance and Loan Servicing Loan servicing is the process by which a mortgage bank or subservicing firm collects the timely payment of interest and principal from borrowers. The level of service varies depending on the type loan and the terms negotiated between the firm and the investor seeking their services.

The company's servicing portfolio, including $73.5 million of liquidating off-balance sheet securitizations, totaled $9.5 billion at June 30, 2006. The serviced portfolio increased 14.9% from $8.3 billion at June 30, 2005. This was primarily due to the company's quarterly securitization program.

Earnings Guidance for 2006

The company revises its full year 2006 earnings per fully-dilutive share guidance to a range of $4.50 to $5.00. As reported in May 2006, the company anticipates the dilutive impact of the Aames merger on earnings per share in 2006 to be in the range of $1.00 to $1.35, depending on the closing date. The most significant items in further revising the 2006 forecast include:
--  Lower than anticipated origination volume

    --  Net gain on whole loan sales below previous expectations

        The forecast for the balance of the year assumes:

    --  Completion of the Aames acquisition in early October

    --  Implementation of more competitive pricing in the company's
        wholesale platform resulting in:

        --  Lower net gains on whole loan sales

        --  Year-over-year volume growth

        --  Steady net cost to originate
