NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
NetBank, Inc. is a holding company that wholly owns "NetBank", a federal savings bank and NetBank Partners, LLC, a partnership involved in strategic partnering opportunities.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, included in NetBank's Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 1999 and NetBank's Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000. The results of operations for the interim periods reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Certain 1999 amounts have been reclassified for comparability with 2000 amounts.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reference is made to the accounting policies of NetBank described in the notes to financial statements contained in NetBank's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company has followed those policies in preparing this report.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and in June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, which amends certain provisions of SFAS 133 to clarify four areas causing difficulties in implementation. The amendment included expanding the normal purchase and sale exemption for supply contracts, permitting the offsetting of certain intercompany foreign currency derivatives and thus reducing the number of third party derivatives, permitting hedge accounting for foreign-currency denominated assets and liabilities, and redefining interest rate risk to reduce sources of ineffectiveness. We will adopt SFAS 133 and the corresponding amendments under SFAS 138 on January 1, 2001. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138, is not expected to have a material impact on NetBank's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
3. LOANS

5. NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE
Basic and diluted net income per common and potential common share have been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The following schedule reconciles the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted net income per common and potential common shares (in 000's except per share amounts). The effect of convertible debt securities outstanding has not
been included as the assumed conversion of such securities would be anti-dilutive to earnings per share for the both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

NETBANK, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Some of the statements in this report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of NetBank or its officers and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as "may," "will," "should," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue," or comparable terminology. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated from the forward-looking statements, depending on various important factors. These factors include a possible decline in asset quality, the evolving nature of the market for internet banking, the possible adverse effects of unexpected changes in the interest rate environment, and increasing competition and regulatory changes. The section headed "Risk Factors" in our prospectus dated June 3, 1999 contains additional details on these and other risks that are material to our operations. All forward-looking statements in this report are based on information available to us as of the date this report was filed with the SEC. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that may be made by us or on our behalf in this prospectus or otherwise.
GeneralNetBank, Inc. is a holding company that wholly owns NetBank, a federal savings bank and NetBank Partners, LLC, a partnership involved in strategic partnering opportunities. NetBank, Inc. was incorporated as a Georgia corporation on February 20, 1996. As of September 30, 2000, we had 133,000 deposit accounts and approximately $909.3 million in deposits.
Financial ConditionOur assets were $1.7 billion at September 30, 2000 compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 1999. The increase of $443.2 million from December 31, 1999 to September 30, 2000 was primarily the result of the investment of funds received from an increase in customer deposits of approximately $255.4 million and an increase in other borrowed funds of $217.1 million. Both the increase in customer deposits and the increase in other borrowed funds were invested in loan receivables that increased $435.8 million. The resulting interest income on these receivables and investments is being used to fund increased infrastructure and operating costs resulting from growth, as well as marketing expenditures to increase public awareness of the "NetBank®" brand name and our products and services.
Total liabilities increased $430.6 million to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2000 from $1.0 billion at December 31, 1999 primarily due to the rapid growth of our deposit portfolio of $255.4 million as well as a $217.1 million increase in other borrowed funds. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, NetBank obtained seven new advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") totaling $265 million and paid off three FHLB advances totaling $145 million. Of the new advances obtained during the quarter, five totaling $145 million were still outstanding as of September 30, 2000 at fixed rates ranging from 6.6% to 6.7%. Also during the three months ended September 30, 2000, NetBank entered into reverse repurchase agreements totalling $207 million and repaid agreements totaling $266 million by September 30, 2000. No reverse repurchase agreements remained outstanding as of September 30, 2000. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2000, NetBank repurchased $8.4 million of its convertible subordinated notes outstanding for $6.6 million in cash and recorded an extraordinary gain on early extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million, net of tax.
Total shareholders' equity increased $12.6 million from December 31, 1999 to September 30, 2000 primarily due to the issuance of $8.3 million of additional shares of common stock in conjunction with the repurchase of some of our convertible subordinated notes and the addition of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 which included a $8.2 million gain on early extinguishment of debt net of tax, offset by the purchase of approximately 337,000 shares of common stock to be held in treasury at a cost of $3.4 million.
Liquidity and Capital ResourcesNetBank's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing, and financial activities. NetBank's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans, sales of loans, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, and funds provided from operations. While
scheduled loan payments and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. NetBank invests excess funds in overnight deposits and other short-term interest-earning assets. NetBank can use cash generated through the retail deposit market, its traditional funding source, to offset the cash utilized in investing activities. NetBank's available for sale securities and short-term interest-earning assets can also be used to provide liquidity for lending and other operational requirements. As an additional source of funds, NetBank had availability under existing line of credit agreements totaling $188.0 million at September 30, 2000.
NetBank is required by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations to maintain tangible capital equal to at least 1.5% of tangible assets, core capital equal to at least 3.0% of tangible assets, and total capital equal to at least 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. To be categorized as "well capitalized" under a prompt corrective action plan, NetBank must maintain minimum Tier I, core, and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 6%, 5%, and 10%, respectively. NetBank exceeded such requirements with tangible, Tier I, core, and total risk-based capital ratios of 12.97%, 20.08%, 12.97%, and 21.22%, respectively, at September 30, 2000.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
We measure interest rate sensitivity as the difference between amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that mature, reprice, or repay within a given period of time. The difference, or the interest rate sensitivity "gap," provides an indication of the extent to which an institution's interest rate spread will be affected by changes in interest rates. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities and is considered negative when the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets. In a rising interest rate environment, an institution with a positive gap would be in a better position than an institution with a negative gap to invest in higher yielding assets or have its asset yields adjusted upward, which would result in the yield on its assets increasing at a faster pace than the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities. During a period of falling interest rates, however, an institution with a positive gap would tend to have its assets maturing at a faster rate than one with a negative gap, which would tend to reduce or restrain the growth of its net interest income.
The following table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2000 (in 000's):

Market Risk
Our principal business is the originating and purchasing of loans funded by customer deposits and, to the extent necessary, other borrowed funds. Consequently, a significant portion of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and fluctuations in interest rates, specifically the prime rate, will affect our future net interest income and cash flows. This interest rate risk is our primary market risk exposure. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps or options. Also, we have no market risk-sensitive instruments held for trading purchases. Our exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by our management.
NetBank measures interest rate risk based on Net Portfolio Value ("NPV") analysis. NPV equals the present value of expected net cash flows from existing assets minus the present value of expected net cash flows from existing liabilities. An NPV ratio is determined by dividing NPV by the present value of assets. The board of directors manages NetBank's interest rate risk by establishing limits for the minimum acceptable NPV ratio over a series of hypothetical interest rate scenarios or "rate shocks". As of September 30, 2000, NetBank's estimated NPV ratios were well within these board
approved limits. The following table sets forth the estimated percentage change in NetBank's NPV ratio as of September 30, 2000 assuming rate shocks of +300 to -300 basis points:
Rate Shock (in basis points) |
Board Limits (Minimum NPV Ratios) |
Estimated September 30, 2000 NPV Ratios |
|||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
+300 | 6.00 | % | 8.96 | % | |
+200 | 8.00 | % | 10.36 | % | |
+100 | 9.00 | % | 11.59 | % | |
Flat | 10.00 | % | 12.49 | % | |
-100 | 10.00 | % | 13.02 | % | |
-200 | 10.00 | % | 13.20 | % | |
-300 | 10.00 | % | 13.26 | % |
Computation of prospective effects of hypothetical rate changes are based on many assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay. They should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Further, the computations do not contemplate certain actions management could undertake in response to changes in interest rates.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 1999
General. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 amounted to $0.7 million, a decrease of $0.4 million compared to net income of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in net income was primarily the result of a planned increase in operating expenses associated with building the infrastructure to support the almost three-fold increase in our deposit accounts since September 30, 1999 as well as a decrease in interest margin associated with increased deposit and borrowing rates, offset by a $1.1 million extraordinary gain on the early extinguishment of $8.4 million of our convertible subordinated notes.
Interest Income. Interest income related to our loan and investment portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $30.7 million compared to $16.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in interest income was a result of the growth of our loan portfolio of $573.3 million from September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000 offset by a slight decrease
in the average yield on loans from 7.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to 7.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2000. In addition, the investment portfolio grew from $326.6 million at September 30, 1999 to $404.0 million at September 30, 2000. The yield on the investment portfolio was 6.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared with 7.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2000.
Interest Expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, $13.4 million in interest expense on deposits was recorded compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 as a result of our increase in customer deposits from $486.2 million at September 30, 1999 to $909.3 million at September 30, 2000. In addition, the average interest rate paid on deposits increased from 5.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to 6.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Interest expense associated with other borrowed funds increased $5.5 million from $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 due to the addition of new advances from the FHLB and borrowings under reverse repurchase agreements, offset by a reduction in interest expense associated with our convertible subordinated notes due to the repurchase of $57.1 million of the notes during the first nine months of 2000.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is determined by our interest rate spread, which is the difference between the yields earned on our interest-earning assets and the rates paid on our interest- bearing liabilities, and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income was $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in net interest income resulted from the increase in the amount of loans and deposits from September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000.
Provision for Loan Losses. In connection with the purchase of loan portfolios, we assess the inherent loss in the portfolios and record the necessary allowance by adjusting the premium associated with each portfolio. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, we recorded $2.7 million as an addition to premiums related to allowance for loan losses for loans purchased during the quarter. In addition, we also recorded an $11,000 net recovery as compared with a $2,000 provision for loan losses during the three months ended September 30, 1999 due several large recoveries on loans previously charged off during the quarter. We periodically review the performance of our loan portfolio by reviewing chargeoffs, delinquency statistics, and industry statistics on a pool by pool basis for our purchased portfolio and a loan by loan basis for our originated loans. If a decline in credit quality for a specific pool or a loan is noted, we record an additional allowance through a charge to the provision for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level estimated to be adequate to provide for probable losses in the loan portfolio. We determine the adequacy of the allowance based upon reviews of individual loans, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of loans and other pertinent factors.
Non-interest Income. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, we recorded approximately $1.0 million in non interest income primarily related to loan and deposit service charges and fees compared to $0.3 million recorded during the three months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in non-interest income stems from the increase in both our loan and deposit portfolios.
Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses include all operating expenses including salaries and benefits, marketing, general and administrative expenses (excluding interest expense, provision for loan losses and income taxes). Non-interest expense increased 76.9%, or $4.7 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 1999 as the number of customer accounts increased almost three-fold from 50,000 at September 30, 1999 to 133,000 at September 30, 2000. This increase in non-interest expense was primarily the result of increased salaries and benefits, customer service, and data processing expense as additional employees and operational activities were added to support additional customers, as well as increased marketing activities as we expanded our marketing programs to build public awareness of the NetBank® name and our products and services.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999
General. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 amounted to $7.6 million, an increase of $5.0 million compared to net income of $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in net income was primarily the result of a $8.2 million extraordinary gain on the early extinguishment of $57.1 million of our convertible subordinated notes. A portion of this gain was reinvested in increased marketing and infrastructure expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to continue to fuel the growth of our deposit base and the recognition of our brand name.
Interest Income. Interest income related to our loan and investment portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $81.4 million compared to $34.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in interest income was a result of the growth of our loan portfolio of $573.3 million from September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000. The average yield on loans remained constant at 7.2% for both the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000. In addition, the investment portfolio grew from $326.6 million at September 30, 1999 to $404.0 million at September 30, 2000. The yield on the investment portfolio was 5.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared with 7.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
Interest Expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, $33.9 million in interest expense on deposits was recorded compared to $15.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as a result of our increase in customer deposits from $486.2 million at September 30, 1999 to $909.3 million at September 30, 2000. In addition, the average interest rate paid on deposits increased 11.0% from 5.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to 5.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Interest expense associated with other borrowed funds increased $16.4 million, from $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 due to the addition of several new advances from the FHLB as well as interest expense paid on our convertible subordinated notes issued during June 1999 and interest paid on reverse repurchase agreements.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is determined by our interest rate spread, which is the difference between the yields earned on our interest-earning assets and the rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income was $26.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in net interest income resulted from the increase in the amount of loans and deposits from September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000.
Provision for Loan Losses. In connection with the purchase of loan portfolios, we assess the inherent loss in the portfolios and record the necessary allowance by adjusting the premium associated with each portfolio. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we recorded $6.2 million as an addition to premiums related to allowance for loan losses for loans purchased during the period. In addition, we also recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.3 million as compared with $0.1 million recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 due to an increase in our originated loan portfolio. We periodically review the performance of our loan portfolio by reviewing chargeoffs, delinquency statistics, and industry statistics on a pool by pool basis for our purchased portfolio and a loan by loan basis for our originated loans. If a decline in credit quality for a specific pool or a loan is noted, we record an additional allowance through a charge to the provision for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level estimated to be adequate to provide for probable losses in the loan portfolio. We determine the adequacy of the allowance based upon reviews of individual loans, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of loans and other pertinent factors.
Non-interest Income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we recorded approximately $1.9 million in loan and deposit service charges and fees compared to $0.8 million recorded during the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in non-interest income stems from the increase in both our loan and deposit portfolios.
Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses include all operating expenses including salaries and benefits, marketing, general and administrative expenses (excluding interest expense, provision for loan losses and income taxes). Non-interest expense increased 148.1%, or $17.6 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as the number of customer accounts increased almost three-fold from 54,000 at September 30, 1999 to 133,000 at September 30, 2000. This increase in non-interest expense was primarily the result of increased marketing activities as we expanded our marketing programs to build public awareness of the NetBank® name and our products and services, as well as increased salaries and benefits, customer service, and data processing expense as additional employees and operational activities were added to support additional customers.
