LENDINGCLUB CORP - 10-Q - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Consolidated Operations
(Edgar Glimpses Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
In addition to historical information, this quarterly report contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected. Factors that might
cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those
discussed in the following "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Consolidated Operations" as well as in Part II Item 1A
"Risk Factors." Actual results could differ materially. Important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to;
the level of demand for our products and services; the intensity of competition;
our ability to effectively maintain and improve technology infrastructure;
continued significant operating losses and cash flow deficits, and adverse
financial, customer and employee consequences that might result to us if
litigation were to be initiated and resolved in an adverse manner to us. For a
more detailed discussion of the risks relating to our business, readers should
refer to Part II Item 1A found later in this report entitled "Risk Factors," as
well as the "Risk Factors" section of the prospectus for the Notes dated July
31, 2012, and filed with the SEC, as may be amended or supplemented from time to
time. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking
statements, including statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions
or strategies regarding the future, which speak only as of the date of this
quarterly report. We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking
statements.
Overview
We are an online financial platform that enables qualified borrower members to
obtain unsecured consumer loans (which we refer to as "Member Loans"). We were
incorporated in Delaware in October 2006, and in May 2007, began operations as
an application on Facebook.com. We expanded our operations in August 2007 with
the launch of our public website, www.lendingclub.com. Investors have the
opportunity to purchase Member Payment Dependent Notes (which we refer to as the
"Notes") issued by us, with each series of Notes corresponding to an individual
Member Loan facilitated through our platform. The Notes are unsecured, are
dependent for payment on the related Member Loan and offer interest rates and
credit characteristics that we believe the investors find attractive.
The Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary, LCA, a registered investment
adviser, in October 2010 for the purpose of expanding the pool of investor
capital to invest in Notes and similar obligations. The Company established the
Trust, a Delaware business trust in February 2011 to acquire and hold Member
Loans for the sole benefit of investors that purchase Trust Certificates
(Certificates) issued by the Trust and which are related to the underlying
Member Loans. The Certificates may only be settled with cash flows from the
related Member Loans held by the Trust consistent with the member payment
dependent design of the Certificates; Certificate holders do not have recourse
to the general credit or other assets of the Trust, Company or other investors.
In February and March 2011 respectively, LCA became the general partner in two
investment funds offered through private placements that were formed to enable
accredited investors to invest in Certificates. In May 2012, one of the
investment funds reorganized into two separate funds to facilitate the continued
addition of qualifying and accredited investors. As of September 30, 2012, the
investment funds had approximately $211 million in total assets, of which
approximately $203 million consisted of investments in Certificates and the
remainder in uninvested cash. LCA earns a management fee paid by the limited
partners of the funds, which is based on the month-end capital account balances
of the limited partner investors in each fund.
The vast majority of Member Loans facilitated since October 13, 2008, have been
financed by Notes and Certificates. We have also financed portions of certain
Member Loans ourselves using sources of funds other than Notes and Certificates.
We receive the same terms on Member Loans that we finance as the terms received
by other Note and Certificate investors.
All Member Loans are unsecured obligations of individual borrower members with
fixed interest rates, three-year or five-year maturities, minimum amounts of
$1,000 and maximum amounts up to $35,000. The Member Loans are posted on our
website, pursuant to an agreement with WebBank, an FDIC-insured, state-chartered
industrial bank organized under the laws of the state of Utah, are funded and
issued by WebBank and sold to us immediately after closing. As a part of
operating our lending platform, we verify the identity of members, obtain
borrower members' credit characteristics from consumer reporting agencies such
as TransUnion, Experian or Equifax and screen borrower members for eligibility
to participate in the platform and facilitate the posting of Member Loans. Also,
after acquiring the Member Loans from WebBank, we service the Member Loans on an
ongoing basis.
As of September 30, 2012, the platform had facilitated 77,191 Member Loans
totaling approximately $914 million since our launch in May 2007. Our agreement
with WebBank has enabled us to make our platform available to borrower members
on a uniform basis nationwide, except that as of September 30, 2012, we do not
currently offer Member Loans in Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Mississippi,
Nebraska, North Dakota and Tennessee. We pay WebBank a monthly service fee based
on the amount of loan proceeds disbursed by WebBank in each month, subject to a
minimum monthly fee.

We have incurred net losses since our inception. Our net losses were $881,587
and $3,346,357 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011,
respectively, and $3,407,395 and $6,453,035 for the six months ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We earn revenues from fees, primarily
loan origination fees charged to borrower members, investor servicing fees and,
beginning in 2011, management fees charged to certain investors that purchase
Certificates. Over time, we expect that the number of borrower and investor
members and the volume of Member Loans facilitated through our platform will
increase, and that we will generate increased revenue from borrower origination
fees, investor service fees and management fees.
To date, we have funded our cash flow deficits from operations primarily with
proceeds from our preferred stock issuances and funds drawn from our credit
facilities, which are described under "Liquidity and Capital Resources." From
inception of the Company through September 30, 2012, we have raised
approximately $102.5 million (net) through preferred equity financings. In June
2012 we issued and sold via private placement a total of 2,500,000 shares of
Series E convertible preferred stock at $7.00 per share for aggregate cash
consideration of $17,500,000, less total transaction expenses of $153,733 that
were recorded as a reduction to gross proceeds. The remaining balances due under
the loans payable and credit facilities were paid in full in July 2012.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we were cash-flow positive. We expect
to continue to operate on a cash-flow positive basis through the end of calendar
year 2013 and we believe that we will continue operating at or near breakeven
between now and the end of our current fiscal year. If our assumptions regarding
continued growth and operating plan are incorrect, we may need to slow our
investment spending, which could slow our rate of growth or ability to continue
operating on a cash-flow positive basis, and our current liquidity resources may
be consumed. To date we have funded our cash requirements with proceeds from the
sale of our equity securities.
We aim to operate an efficient platform so we may offer interest rates to
borrower members that are lower than the rates they could obtain for unsecured
credit through credit cards or traditional banks, and offer interest rates to
investors that they find attractive. Our platform operates online only. Our
registration, processing and payment systems are automated and electronic. We
encourage the use of electronic payments as the preferred means to disburse
member loan proceeds, receive payments on outstanding Member Loans, receive
funds from investor members, and to disburse payments to applicable investors.
We have no physical branches for loan application or deposit-taking activities.
Our member service center is located in our corporate headquarters in San
Francisco, California.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
requires us to make certain judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect
the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes. We believe that the judgments, assumptions and estimates upon which we
rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that
these judgments, assumptions and estimates are made. However, any differences
between these judgments, assumptions and estimates and actual results could have
a material impact on our consolidated statement of operations and financial
condition. The accounting policies, which are more fully described in Note 2 to
our consolidated financial statements, reflect our most significant judgments,
assumptions and estimates and which we believe are critical in understanding and
evaluating our reported financial results include: (1) revenue recognition;
(2) fair value determinations; (3) allowance for loan losses; (4) share-based
compensation; and (5) provision for income taxes, net of valuation allowances
for deferred tax assets. These estimates and assumptions are inherently
subjective in nature, actual results may differ from these estimates and
assumptions, and the differences could be material.
Member Loans at Fair Value
We have elected fair value accounting for the vast majority of Member Loans
facilitated through the platform since October 13, 2008, including all Member
Loans originated since October 1, 2011, and all related Notes and Certificates.
The fair value election for these Member Loans, Notes and Certificates allows
symmetrical accounting for the timing and amounts recognized for both expected
unrealized losses and realized losses on the Member Loans and the related Notes
and Certificates, consistent with the member payment dependent design of the
Notes and Certificates. All of our Member Loans are unsecured but the gross
potential credit risk to the Company from Member Loans is significantly
mitigated to the extent that loans are financed by Notes or Certificates that
absorb the loans' credit losses pursuant to the member payment dependency
provision.
Absent the fair value elections for both Member Loans at fair value and the
related Notes and Certificates, Member Loans held for investment would be
accounted for at amortized cost and would record loan loss provisions for
estimated expected losses, but the related Notes and Certificates also accounted
for at amortized cost would recognize the losses passed-through by the related
loans only when and in amounts of the loans actually charged-off, thereby
resulting in a mismatch in the timing and amounts of loss recognition between a
Member Loan and related Notes and Certificates, which is not an appropriate
representation for instruments that are designed to have linked cash flows and
loss realization. The loan origination fees for Member Loans at fair value are
recognized as a component of non-interest revenue at the time of the loan
origination. The costs to originate Member Loans at fair value are recognized in
operating expenses as incurred. Interest income on Member Loans at fair value is
recorded as earned. The remaining Member Loan originations have been accounted
for at amortized cost as explained more fully below.
30--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
When we receive payments of principal and interest on Member Loans at fair
value, we remit principal and interest payments on related Notes and/or
Certificates, net of any applicable servicing fee on the payments received on
the Member Loans at fair value. The principal payments reduce the carrying
values of both the Member Loans at fair value and the related Notes and
Certificates. Servicing fees withheld from payments made to Note investors are
recorded as a component of non-interest revenue when received. Management fees
from Certificate investors are recognized as a component of non-interest revenue
when earned.
We include in earnings the estimated unrealized fair value gains or losses
during the period of Member Loans at fair value, and the offsetting estimated
fair value losses or gains attributable to the expected changes in future
payments on related Notes and Certificates.
At September 30, 2012, we estimated the fair values of Member Loans at fair
value and their related Notes and Certificates using a discounted cash flow
valuation methodology. The estimated fair values of Member Loans are computed by
projecting the future contractual cash flows to be received on the loans,
adjusting those cash flows for our expectations of prepayments (if significant),
defaults and losses over the life of the loans, and expected net recoveries, if
any. We then discount those projected net cash flows to a present value, which
is the estimated fair value. Our expectation of future defaults and losses on
loans is based on analyses of actual defaults and losses that occurred on the
various credit grades of Member Loans over the past several years. Expected net
recoveries reflect actual historical recovery experience for the various types
of defaulted loans and the contractual arrangements with collection agencies.
The discount rates for the projected net cash flows of the Member Loans are our
estimates of the rates of return that investors in unsecured consumer credit
obligations would require when investing in the various credit grades of Member
Loans.
Our obligation to pay principal and interest on any Note and Certificate is
equal to the pro-rata portion of the payments, if any, received on the related
Member Loan at fair value, net of any applicable servicing fee. The gross
effective interest rate associated with a Note or a Certificate is the same as
the interest rate earned on the related Member Loan at fair value. At
September 30, 2012, the discounted cash flow methodology used to estimate the
Notes' and Certificates' fair values uses the same projected net cash flows as
their related Member Loans. The discount rates for the projected net cash flows
of the Notes and Certificates are our estimates of the rates of return,
including any applicable risk premiums, if significant, that investors in
unsecured consumer credit obligations would require when investing in Notes
issued by LendingClub or Certificates issued by the Trust, with cash flows
dependent on specific credit grades of Member Loans.
For additional discussion on this topic, including the adjustments to the
estimated fair values of Loans at fair value and Notes at fair value, as
discussed below, see Results of Operations and Note 5 - Member Loans at Fair
Value and Notes and Certificates at Fair Value.
Member Loans at Amortized Cost
The loan origination fees for Member Loans at amortized cost are deferred at
origination and, with the related deferred loan origination costs, are amortized
to interest income over the contractual lives of the loans using a method that
approximates the effective interest method, which loans currently have original
terms of 36 or 60 months. We record interest income on Member Loans at amortized
cost as earned. Loans reaching 120 days delinquent are classified as nonaccrual
loans, and we stop accruing interest and reverse all accrued but unpaid interest
after such date.
We may incur losses if the borrower members fail to pay their monthly scheduled
loan payments. Impaired Member Loans at amortized cost include loans at
amortized cost that are 90 days or more past due and loans where the borrower
has filed a petition in bankruptcy or is deceased.
As part of our activities to maximize receipt, collection and recovery of loans
in which the borrower has, or is expected to, experience difficulty in meeting
the loan's contractually required payments, we may agree to special payment
plans with certain borrowers. Most of the special payment plans involve reduced
minimum loan payments for a short period of time and the deferred payments are
to be repaid over the remaining original term of the loan. No principal or
interest is forgiven nor is the original term of the loan extended in these
situations. The delay in receipt of all contractually-required loan payments in
these situations is insignificant.
Prior to December 2011, special payment plans with certain borrowers involved
extensions of the original term of the loan by six to 24 months, but in no case
extending the total term beyond 60 months, and recasting the borrower's monthly
loan payment schedule. In these situations, the restructuring of the loan terms
qualifies as a Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR"). We classify TDR's
outstanding as of September 30, 2012 as impaired loans at amortized cost.
31--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
An allowance for loan losses applies only to Member Loans at amortized cost and
is a valuation allowance that is established as losses are estimated to have
occurred at the balance sheet date through a provision for loan losses charged
to earnings. Realized loan losses are charged against the allowance when
management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a periodic basis by management,
and represents an estimate of potential credit losses based on a variety of
factors, including the composition and quality of the Member Loans at amortized
cost, loan specific information gathered through our collection efforts,
delinquency levels, probable expected losses, current and historical charge-off
and loss experience, current industry charge-off and loss experience, and
general economic conditions. Determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses for Member Loans at amortized cost is subjective, complex and requires
judgment by management about the effects of matters that are inherently
uncertain, and actual losses may differ from our estimates.
Our estimate of the allowance for loan losses for Member Loans at amortized cost
is developed by estimating both the rate of default of the loans within each
credit score band using the FICO credit scoring model, a loan's collection
status, the borrower's FICO score at or near the evaluation date, and the amount
of probable loss in the event of a borrower member default.
We have elected fair value accounting for all Member Loans facilitated through
the platform on and after October 1, 2011, and we elected fair value accounting
for the majority of Member Loans facilitated through the platform prior to
October 1, 2011. We expect the remaining balance of Member Loans at amortized
cost to decline to zero over the next several years.
Results of Operations
Revenues
Our business model consists primarily of charging fees to both borrower members
and investor members for transactions through or related to our platform. During
the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we facilitated $215,378,036
and $68,528,875 of loans, respectively, on our lending platform, an increase of
214%. During the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we facilitated
$352,744,227 and $124,592,575 of loans, respectively, on our lending platform,
an increase of 183%.
Upon issuance of a loan, WebBank pays a fee to us for providing the services of
arranging the Member Loan. The loan origination fee charged to each borrower
member is determined by the credit grade of that borrower member's loan and as
of September 30, 2012, ranged from 1.11% to 5.00% of the aggregate member loan
amount. The loan origination fees are included in the annual percentage rate
("APR") calculation provided to the borrower member and is subtracted from the
gross loan proceeds prior to disbursement of the loan funds to the borrower
member.
Investor members that purchase Notes pay servicing fees to us on the payments
for the related Member Loans and maintaining account portfolios. Beginning in
March 2011, we began charging limited partners in private investment funds
(Funds) monthly management fees that are based on the month-end balances of
their partners' capital accounts. These management fees, which are charged in
lieu of servicing fees on the Certificates purchased by the Funds, are recorded
in other revenue.
To a lesser extent, we also generate revenue from the net interest income earned
on Member Loans that we finance with sources of funds other than Notes and
Certificates.
Loan Origination Fees
Our borrower members pay a one-time origination fee to us for arranging a Member
Loan. This fee is determined by the term and loan grade of the Member Loan.
Beginning January 7, 2011, our origination fees for five year loans changed, and
ranged from 3.00% to 5.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Member Loan,
as set forth below:
Loan Grade A B C D E F G
Fee 3.00 % 5.00 % 5.00 % 5.00 % 5.00 % 5.00 % 5.00 %
Beginning February 2, 2012, our loan origination fees for the three year loans
decreased from 5.00% to 4.00% for the Loan Grade G Member Loans as set forth
below:
Loan Grade A1 A2 A3-A5 B C D E F G
Fee 1.11 % 2.00 % 3.00 % 4.00 % 5.00 % 5.00 % 5.00 % 5.00 % 4.00 %
We do not receive an origination fee if a Member Loan request does not close.
Loan origination fees on Member Loans at fair value are recognized as a
component of non-interest revenues at the time of loan origination and were
$8,973,158 and $2,940,193 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and
2011, respectively, an increase
32--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
of 205%. The increase in these loan fees was primarily due to an increase in
origination volumes of Member Loans at fair value during the three months ended
September 30, 2012, to $215.4 million versus originations of $68.5 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of 214%. The average loan
origination fees were 4.17% and 4.24% of the principal amount of Member Loans at
fair value originated for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011,
respectively. The decrease in the average loan origination fee in the current
period was primarily due to changes in the mix of Member Loans between three and
five year loans and also between the various credit loans from the prior year.
Loan origination fees on Member Loans at fair value were $14,839,452 and
$5,384,137 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively,
an increase of 176%. The increase in these loan fees was primarily due to an
increase in origination volumes of Member Loans at fair value during the six
months ended September 30, 2012, to $352.7 million versus originations of $123.5
million for the six months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of 186%. The
average loan origination fees were 4.21% and 4.36% of the principal amount of
Member Loans at fair value originated for the six months ended September 30,
2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in the average loan origination fee in
the current period was primarily due to changes in the mix of Member Loans
between three and five year loans and also between the various credit loans from
the prior year.
Loan origination fees on Member Loans at amortized cost are netted against the
direct loan origination costs, deferred and the net amount is amortized to
interest income over the life of the Member Loans at amortized cost. Because of
the election of fair value accounting for all loan originations on and after
October 1, 2011, there were no originations of Member Loans at amortized cost or
related loan origination fees received during the three or six months ended
September 30, 2012. There was an insignificant amount of origination fees
received on the approximately $1.1 million of Member Loans at amortized cost
originated during the six months ended September 30, 2011.
Servicing fees on Notes at Fair Value
Beginning with the issuance of Notes at fair value on October 13, 2008, we began
charging investor members an ongoing service fee for Notes purchased through our
platform. The servicing fee offsets the costs we incur in servicing the related
Member Loans at fair value, including managing payments from borrower members,
payments to the investor members and maintaining investors' account portfolios.
This service fee is charged based on payment amounts serviced by us on behalf of
a Note investor in respect of a Member Loan.
The servicing fees earned from Note holders that relate to cash flows serviced
on related Member Loans at fair value were $479,351 and $281,837 for the three
months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of 70.0%.
The servicing fees earned from Note holders that relate to cash flows serviced
on related Member Loans at fair value were $902,180 and $507,759 for the six
months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of 77.7%.
The increases in the servicing fees earned from Note holders were primarily due
to increased balances of Notes outstanding during the three and six months ended
September 30, 2012, versus the three and six months ended September 30, 2011.
The amount of servicing fees earned depends on the balances of Notes that have
explicit servicing fees, versus the balances of Certificates whose holders pay
management fees, and the average servicing fee paid by the Note holders.
Management Fees and Assets Under Management
Beginning in March 2011, we began charging Certificate holders a management fee
based on their month-end capital account balances in lieu of paying servicing
fees. We earned management fees from investors in Certificates totaling $225,068
and $29,811 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011,
respectively, and $372,356 and $41,457 for the six months ended September 30,
2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in management fees earned during the
three and six month periods in 2012 versus the comparable periods in the prior
year is due primarily to an increase in total assets under management by LCA,
which were approximately $225 million at September 30, 2012 (approximately $211
million in three investment funds and $14 million in certain Separately Managed
Accounts or "SMAs") and approximately $25 million at September 30, 2011.

Net Interest Income
The following table summarizes interest income, interest expense and net
interest income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011,
as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30, Six Months Ended September 30,
2012 2011 2012 2011

Net Interest Income $ 231,474 $ 144,002 $ 337,422 $ 235,537
We had net interest income of $231,474 and $144,002 for the three months ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $337,422 and $235,537 for the six
months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net interest income
increased in the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, when compared to
the same periods in the prior year primarily due to the reduction in interest
expense on high-cost loans payable as such loans were paid down and replaced by
non-interest-bearing sources of funds. We expect that net interest income,
primarily related to interest income on Member Loans at fair value and interest
expense on Notes and Certificates at fair value, will continue to diminish as a
percentage of overall net revenues as we grow our platform due to the payment
dependent relationship of interest payments on Member Loans at fair value and
interest payments on Notes and Certificates at fair value.
Interest Income on Member Loans at Fair Value
We record interest income from Member Loans at fair value. For the three months
ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded interest income from Member Loans
at fair value, excluding loan origination fees, of $18,359,073 and $6,227,944,
respectively. The increase in interest income in the three months ended
September 30, 2012, compared to the prior year is primarily due to the
significant increase in the outstanding balances of Member Loans at fair value.
The estimated average balance of Member Loans at fair value outstanding during
the three months ended September 30, 2012, was $531.9 million as compared to an
estimated average balance of $216.3 million in the prior year, an increase of
145.9%.
For the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded interest
income from Member Loans at fair value, excluding loan origination fees, of
$31,876,146 and $11,269,335, respectively. The increase in interest income in
the six months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the prior year also is
primarily due to the significant increase in the outstanding balances of Member
Loans at fair value. The estimated average balance of Member Loans at fair value
outstanding during the six months ended September 30, 2012, was $473.6 million
as compared to an estimated average balance of $196.3 million in the prior year,
an increase of 141.3%.
Interest Earned on Member Loans at Amortized Cost
Between April 7, 2008 and October 13, 2008, while we sought to register the
offering of the Notes, we financed Member Loan originations with sources of
funds other than Notes, which generate interest income on Member Loans at
amortized cost. Subsequent to the effectiveness of our registration statement
related to our Notes in October 2008, we periodically provided funds to
originate some Member Loans at amortized cost. However, as we have increased our
investor marketing efforts to increase the issuance of Notes and Certificates to
finance loans, the originations and outstanding balances of Member Loans at
amortized cost have stopped. As noted earlier, we have elected fair value
accounting for all loans originated on and after October 1, 2011. Accordingly,
for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we facilitated
through our platform $0 and $1,063,821 of Member Loans at amortized cost,
respectively. We expect the remaining balance of Member Loans at amortized cost
to decline to zero in the near future.
For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded interest
income on Member Loans at amortized cost, including the amortization of deferred
net loan origination fees and costs, of $117,706 and $155,376, respectively. For
the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded interest income on
Member Loans at amortized cost, including the amortization of deferred net loan
origination fees and costs, of $146,030 and $343,528, respectively. The decline
in interest income on Member
34
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Loans at amortized cost is primarily due to the decline in the estimated average
balance of Member Loans at amortized cost. For the three months ended
September 30, 2012, the estimated average balance decreased to $0.8 million,
versus $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the six
months ended September 30, 2012, the estimated average balance decreased to $1.3
million, versus $4.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011.
Interest Earned on Cash and Investments
Interest income from cash and cash equivalents is recognized as it is earned.
For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $13,060 of interest
income earned on cash and cash equivalents versus $4,271 of interest income
recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the six months
ended September 30, 2012, we recognized $21,860 of interest income earned on
cash and cash equivalents versus $10,042 of interest income recognized for the
six months ended September 30, 2011. The low absolute amounts of interest earned
on cash and cash equivalents reflects the current environment of very low
short-term interest rates and the low rates earned on highly liquid deposits
with highly-rated financial institutions. The differences in interest income
earned in the three and six month periods of the current and prior year are
primarily a function of changes in the balances of interest-bearing cash
deposits on hand. We do not expect interest income from cash and cash
equivalents to be a significant part of our future revenue.
Interest Expense on Notes and Certificates
We record interest expense on the Notes issued by LendingClub and, beginning in
March 2011, we began recording interest expense on Certificates issued by the
Trust. We recorded total interest expense for Notes and Certificates of
$18,258,078 and $6,224,160, respectively, for the three months ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011. The increase in interest expense in the three
months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the comparable period in the prior
year is primarily due to the significant increase in the outstanding balances of
Notes and Certificates at fair value. The estimated average balance of Notes and
Certificates at fair value outstanding during the three months ended
September 30, 2012, was $532.2 million as compared to an estimated average
balance of $214.6 million in the prior year, an increase of 148%.
Similarly, the increase in interest expense in the six months ended
September 30, 2012, compared to the comparable period in the prior year also is
primarily due to the significant increase in the outstanding balances of Notes
and Certificates at fair value. The estimated average balance of Notes and
Certificates at fair value outstanding during the six months ended September 30,
2012, was $474.0 million as compared to an estimated average balance of $195.2
million in the prior year, an increase of 143%.
Interest Expense on Loans Payable
Interest expense, other than that described above with regard to Notes and
Certificates at fair value, consists primarily of cash and non-cash interest
expense on loans payable. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and
2011, we paid cash interest of $287 and $69,429, respectively, for interest due
on our loans payable and we also recorded $0 and $23,134 respectively, for
non-cash interest expense related to debt discounts due to warrants related to
our loans payable. For the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we paid
cash interest of $6,265 and $114,700, respectively, for interest due on our
loans payable and we also recorded $5,135 and $57,117 respectively, for non-cash
interest expense related to debt discounts due to warrants related to our loans
payable.
All remaining balances owed under the loans payable were paid in full at their
maturity in July 2012.
Fair Value Adjustments on Member Loans at Fair Value and Notes and Certificates
at Fair Value
As discussed earlier, at September 30, 2012, we estimated the fair values of
Member Loans and their related Notes and Certificates using a discounted cash
flow valuation methodology. The fair valuation methodology considers projected
prepayments, if significant, and uses the historical actual defaults, losses and
recoveries on our loans over the past several years to project future losses and
net cash flows on loans. The evolution and improvement of our credit risk
management policies and practices over the past several years has resulted in
improving loss (charge-off) rates on loans in recent years. Accordingly, the
fair valuation methodology projects lifetime losses on loans based on the
historical, improving loss rates.
Fair value adjustment gains/(losses) for Member Loans at fair value were
$(7,248,115) and $(4,230,842) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and
2011, respectively, and $(10,757,541) and $(7,053,662) for the six months ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Fair value adjustment gains/(losses)
for Notes and Certificates were $7,106,698 and $4,136,376 for the three months
ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $10,567,253 and $6,958,939
for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The fair value adjustments for Member Loans at fair value were largely offset by
the fair value adjustments of the Notes and Certificates at fair value due to
the member payment dependent design of the Notes and Certificates, and because
the principal balances of the Member Loans at fair value were very close to the
combined principal balances of the Notes and Certificates. Accordingly, the net
fair value adjustment gains/(losses) for Member Loans and Notes and Certificates
were $(141,417) and $(94,446) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and
2011, respectively, and $(190,288) and $(94,723) for the six months ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses
Loan loss provisions arise only for Member Loans at amortized cost. Loan loss
provisions (benefits) were $7,229 and $80,240 for the three months ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $(41,293) and $155,144 for the six
months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The declines in total
loan loss provisions for Member Loans at amortized cost in the three and six
month periods ended September 30, 2012, compared to the loss provisions in the
three and six month periods ended September 30, 2011, was primarily due to lower
principal balances of loans outstanding in the current periods versus the
comparable periods in the preceding year.
The allowance for loan losses, which management evaluates on a periodic basis,
represents an estimate of expected credit losses inherent in the portfolio of
Member Loans at amortized cost that we hold for investment and is based on a
variety of factors, including the composition and quality of the loan portfolio,
loan specific information gathered through our collection efforts, delinquency
levels, our historical charge-off and loss experience, current industry
charge-off and loss experience, and general economic conditions. Determining the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is subjective, complex, and requires
judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain
(see Note 2 - Summary Significant Accounting Policies - Allowance for Loan
Losses).
As discussed above, expected losses on Member Loans at fair value are recognized
through their fair value adjustments and are offset to the extent that the loans
are financed by Notes and/or Certificates that absorb the related expected loan
losses.
Operating Expenses:
The following tables summarize our operating expenses for the three and six
month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Total Operating Expenses $ 19,967,929 $ 12,642,524 $ 7,325,405 58 %
Sales, Marketing and Customer Service Expense
Sales, marketing and customer service expense consists primarily of salaries,
benefits and stock-based compensation expense related to sales, marketing,
customer service, credit and collections personnel, costs of marketing campaigns
and costs of borrower acquisitions such as credit scoring and screening. Sales,
marketing and customer service expenses for the three months ended September 30,
2012 and 2011, were $6,672,230 and $4,289,476, respectively, an increase of
approximately 56%. The increase in spending during the three month period ended
September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of the prior year were primarily
due to a $1,248,983 increase in personnel related expenses and a $706,870
increase in spending on new and ongoing marketing programs to attract borrowers
and increase investment activity on the platform.
Sales, marketing and customer service expenses for the six months ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011, were $12,356,752 and $8,147,315, respectively, an
increase of approximately 52%. The increase in spending during the six month
period ended September 30, 2012 relative to the same period of the prior year
was primarily due to a $2,129,306 increase in personnel related expenses and a
$1,142,186 increase in spending on new and ongoing marketing programs to attract
borrowers and increase investment activity on the platform.
36--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Engineering Expense
Engineering expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based
compensation expense of engineering personnel, and the cost of subcontractors
who work on the development and maintenance of our platform and software
enhancements that run our platform. Engineering expenses for the three months
ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, were $1,381,972 and $666,736, respectively,
an increase of 107%. The increase for the three month period ended September 30,
2012 versus the same periods in the prior year were primarily due to a $609,111
increase in contract labor and personnel related expenses.
Comparatively, engineering expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2012
and 2011, were $2,374,334 and $1,186,875, respectively, an increase of 100%. The
increase for the six month period ended September 30, 2012 versus the same
periods in the prior year were primarily due to a $931,623 increase in contract
labor and personnel related expenses. We expect these expenses to continue to
increase as we grow our business.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits and
stock-based compensation expense related to general and administrative
personnel, professional fees primarily related to legal and accounting fees,
facilities expenses and the related overhead, and expenses related to platform
fraud prevention and remediation. General and administrative expenses for the
three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, were $2,725,140 and $1,794,108,
respectively, an increase of approximately 52%. The increase was primarily due
to increases of $732,402 in contract labor and personnel related expenses.
Comparatively, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011, were $5,236,843 and $3,308,334, respectively, an
increase of approximately 58%. The increase was primarily due to increases of
$1,275,883 in contract labor and personnel related expenses, $299,271 in audit
and tax fees, and $181,551 in licenses, permits and fees. We expect that general
and administrative expenses will decrease as a percentage of overall operating
expenses as we grow our sales efforts in greater proportion than our general and
administrative expenses.

September 30, 2012, compared to net cash used in operations of $5,173,712 in the
six months ended September 30, 2011. Net Non-Cash (Revenues) / Expenses and
Changes in Operating Assets and Liabilities of $4,583,317 in the six months
ended September 30, 2012 included non-cash expenses of: (i) $41,293 of benefits
for loan losses on Member Loans at amortized cost; (ii) $476,024 of stock based
compensation expense; (iii) $5,135 of amortization of debt discounts;
(iv) $133,074 of depreciation expense; (v) $4,339,844 resulting from increased
accrued interest payable and other accrued expenses; and (vi) $2,325,560
resulting from increased payable to member lenders. Similarly, non-cash expenses

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30,
2012 and 2011 were $252,970,145 and $82,540,421, respectively. However, after
removing activity related to the Member Loans, which activity was mostly offset
by corresponding activity related to the Notes and Certificates reflected in our
cash flow from financing activities, the remaining amounts of cash provided by /
(used for) investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and
2011, were $(1,313,451) and $(382,329), respectively. The net cash used in
investing activities in the six months ended September 30, 2012 after removing
the recurring activities related to Member Loans was primarily related to the
increase in restricted cash and purchases of property and equipment partially
offset by the proceeds from the sale of charged-off Member Loans. In the six
months ended September 30, 2011, the uses of cash in investing activities were
comprised of an increase in restricted cash and purchases of property and
equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended September 30,
2012 and 2011, were $272,958,988 and $106,584,113, respectively. However, after
excluding recurring activity related to the Notes and Certificates, which is
mostly offset by corresponding activity related to our Member Loans at fair
value (reflected in our cash flows from investing activities), the net amounts
of cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended September 30,
2012 and 2011, were $17,556,743 and $24,398,006, respectively. Cash provided by
financing activities, after excluding activity related to the Notes and
Certificates, consisted primarily of the net proceeds from the issuance of (i)
Series E Preferred Stock, (ii) Series A and B preferred stock from warrant
exercises and (iii) common stock via exercise of employee stock options
partially offset by the repayment of loans payable for the six months ended
September 30, 2012. For the six months ended September 30, 2011, cash provided
by financing activities, after excluding activity related to the Notes and
Certificates, consisted primarily of net proceeds from the issuance of our
Series D Preferred Stock which was partially offset by funds used for the
repayment of loans payable.
At September 30, 2012 and 2011, we had $5,726,453 and $1,022,000, respectively,
in restricted cash. The net increase in restricted cash at September 30, 2012
versus September 30, 2011 was primarily due to the pledges of $3.0 million of
our funds as security for WebBank, approximately $0.9 million for an investor as
part of a credit support agreement, and approximately $1.7 million as security
for Wells Fargo Bank that clears our borrowers' and investors' cash
transactions, partially offset by a reduction of approximately $0.7 million
formerly pledged to the bank that coordinated the credit facilities we obtained
in prior years. We primarily hold our excess cash in short-term interest-bearing
money market funds at highly-rated financial institutions.
Additionally, at September 30, 2012, we have a deposit of $1,015,895 placed with
a nationally-recognized payment services provider we use for transactions
related to our platform. The deposit is required pursuant to the agreement with
the payment services provider, serves as collateral for the protection of the
payment services provider and our members, and is restricted as to withdrawal.
The deposit is ongoing throughout the term of the contract and the amount of the
deposit depends on the volume of payment transactions processed. The deposit
with the payment services provider is required to be returned to us when payment
transaction volumes decline and upon termination or expiration of the agreement.
As of September 30, 2012, our accumulated deficit was $56.8 million and our
total stockholders' deficit was $51.0 million. Our net loss for the three months
ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0.9 million and $3.3 million,
respectively, and for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $3.4
million and $6.5 million, respectively. For the quarter ended September 30,
2012, we were cash-flow positive. We expect to continue to operate on a
cash-flow positive basis through the end of calendar year 2013 and we believe
that we will continue operating at or near breakeven between now and the end of
our current fiscal year. If our assumptions regarding continued growth and
operating plan are incorrect, we may need to slow our investment spending, which
could slow our rate of growth or ability to continue operating on a cash-flow
positive basis, and our current liquidity resources may be consumed. To date we
have funded our cash requirements with proceeds from the sale of our equity
securities.
Assets Under Management
In October 2010, we formed a subsidiary, LC Advisors, LLC, a California limited
liability company ("LCA"), which is wholly-owned by LendingClub. LCA commenced
operations after January 1, 2011 and has registered with the SEC as an
investment advisor. As of September 30, 2012, LCA acts as the general partner to
three private investment funds for accredited investors with differing
investment strategies ("Funds"). In connection with the Funds, LendingClub
formed a Delaware business trust (LC Trust I or the "Trust") in February 2011 as
a bankruptcy remote entity to hold Member Loans purchased from LendingClub.
We started offering the Funds to potential investors in February 2011 through a
private placement. As of September 30, 2012, the Funds had approximately $211
million in assets with $25 million in escrow, which was contributed to the Funds
on the first

business day of October 2012. LCA earns a management fee paid by the limited
partners of the Funds, paid monthly in arrears, ranges from 0.60% to 1.25%
(annualized) of the month-end balances of partners' capital accounts. These
management fees can be modified or waived for individual limited partners at the
discretion of the general partner.
Beginning January 2012, LCA also began offering SMAs to individual investors.
Funds in the SMAs are invested in Certificates issued by the Trust. As of
September 30, 2012, the SMAs had approximately $14 million in assets. LCA earns
management fees paid by certain SMA investors, paid monthly in arrears, based on
the month-end balances in the SMA accounts.
Summary of Changes in Assets Under Management
The table below presents a summary of changes in total assets under management
for LCA, including both assets of the Funds and SMAs, stated at amortized cost
except for appreciation / (depreciation) which includes fair value adjustments
for investments, for the six month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Six Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)
2012 2011 Balance - beginning of period $ 104.5 $ 0.8
Net capital contributions 114.3 24.2
Appreciation (depreciation) 6.3 0.2
Balance - end of period $ 225.1 $ 25.2
Income Taxes
We incurred no net income tax provision or benefit related to our pre-tax losses
for the three or six month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 740, "Income Taxes," provides for the recognition
of deferred tax assets, such as the future benefit of net operating loss
deductions against future taxable income, if realization of such tax-related
assets is more likely than not. However, given our history of operating losses,
it is difficult to accurately forecast when and in what amounts future results
will be affected by the realization, if any, of the tax benefits of future
deductions for our net operating loss carry forwards. Based upon the weight of
available evidence, which includes our historical operating performance, the
reported cumulative net losses in all prior years, and the potential limitations
and uncertainties in realizing the tax benefits of the prior net operating
losses, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax
assets. Such valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets fully offsets
the current periods' tax benefits attributable to the pre-tax losses.
Variable Interest Entities
The determination of whether to consolidate a variable interest entity (VIE) in
which the Company has an equity interest requires a significant amount of
analysis and judgment whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE
via a controlling financial interest in the VIE. A controlling financial
interest in a VIE exists if the Company has both the power to direct the VIE's
activities that most significantly affect the VIE's economic performance and an
economic interest in the VIE. The determination whether an entity is a VIE
considers factors such as: (i) whether a holder's equity investment at risk is
insufficient to allow the entity to finance its activities without additional
subordinated financial support, or (ii) when a holder's equity investment at
risk lacks any of the following characteristics of a controlling financial
interest: the direct or indirect ability through voting rights or similar rights
to make decisions about a legal entity's activities that have a significant
effect on the entity's success, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of
the entity or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the legal
entity. Since adoption of amended accounting guidance applicable to VIE's on
January 1, 2010, management has considered whether we have any equity
investments in VIE's that meet the conditions requiring consolidation of such
entities.
The Trust commenced operations in March 2011 and its' purpose is to acquire and
hold Member Loans for the benefit of investors that purchase Trust Certificates
(Certificates) issued by the Trust. The Trust conducts no other business other
than purchasing and retaining loans or portions thereof for the benefit of the
funds and their underlying limited partners. The Trust holds all loans, the cash
flows of which are used to pay debt service on the Certificates invested in by
the funds but does not hold any portions of loans that are financed by
LendingClub directly or through the purchase and sale of Notes.
It is unclear what will happen to the interests represented by Notes in the
event of LendingClub's insolvency. As a result of this risk and uncertainty and
in connection with the formation of the funds, it was determined that in order
to achieve any reasonable success in raising investment capital that the assets
to be invested in by the funds must be held by an entity that was separate and
distinct from LendingClub Corporation (i.e. bankruptcy remote) in order to
reduce this risk and uncertainty.
39--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
The Company's capital contributions have been insufficient to allow the Trust to
finance its purchase of any significant amount of Member Loans without the
issuance of Certificates to investors. The Trust's low capitalization levels
(minimum capital of 0.25% of assets) and structure, wherein investors' have
beneficial interests in Member Loans via the Certificates, qualifies the Trust
as a VIE. The Company believes it is the primary beneficiary of the Trust
because of its controlling financial interest in the Trust. The Company performs
or directs activities that significantly affect the Trust's economic performance
via, i) operation of the platform that enables borrowers to apply for Members
Loans purchased by the Trust, ii) credit underwriting and servicing of Member
Loans purchased by the Trust, and, iii) LCA's role to source investors that
ultimately purchase Certificates that supply the funds for the Trust to purchase
Member Loans. Collectively, the activities of the Company, LCA and Trust
described above allow the Company to fund more Member Loans, and to collect the
related loan origination fees, and for LCA to collect the management fees on the
investors' capital used to purchase Trust Certificates, than would be the case
without the existence of the Trust. Therefore, the Company receives significant
economic benefits from the existence and activities conducted by the Trust.
Accordingly, because the Company has concluded that its' capital contributions
to the Trust qualify as equity investments in a VIE in which it is primary
beneficiary, the Company has consolidated the Trust's operations and all
intercompany accounts have been eliminated.
The Company reviewed its relationship to the funds in which LCA is the general
partner but for which neither LC nor LCA contributed capital. The Company
concluded that LCA's contractual relationship to the funds does not meet the
requirements for consolidation of the funds into the Company's consolidated
financial statements. As of September 30, 2012, the Company didn't have any
controlling or other interests in any VIEs, other than its interest in the Trust
discussed above, to be included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements. Upon the occurrence of future events, such as redemptions by all
unaffiliated investors in any funds and modifications to fund organization
documents and investment management agreements, management reviews and
reconsiders its previous conclusion regarding the status of an entity as a VIE
and whether the Company is required to consolidate such VIE in its consolidated
financial statements.
Additional Information about the LendingClub Platform
Historical Information about Our Borrower Members Loans:
In regards to the following historical information, prior performance is no
guarantee of future results or outcomes.
For purposes of the following information and tables, we have excluded from the
data all previously issued loans that would not meet the current credit policy.
From May 24, 2007 to September 30, 2012, we had facilitated member loans with an
average original principal amount of approximately $11,957 and an aggregate
original principal amount of $890,122,700. Out of 74,440 facilitated Member
Loans, 11,662 Member Loans with an aggregate original principal amount of
$118,114,250, or 13.30% had fully paid. Including loans which were fully paid,
68,354 loans representing $813,114,950 of the outstanding principal balance at
September 30, 2012 had been through at least one billing cycle.
Of the $813,114,950 of original principal balance at September 30, 2012 that had
been through at least one billing cycle, $18,964,689 of outstanding principal
balance less interest and fees received, or 2.33%, was either in default or has
been charged off. The defaulted or charged off loans were comprised of 2,598
Member Loans, of which 1,880 loans representing $13,128,682 in outstanding
principal balance less interest and fees received, were defaults and charge offs
due to delinquency, while the remaining 718 loans were loans in which the
borrower members filed for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy seeking liquidation. A Member
Loan is considered defaulted when at least one payment is more than 120 days
late.

The following table presents additional aggregated information for the period
from May 24, 2007 to September 30, 2012, about delinquencies, default and
borrower paid off loans, grouped by the loan grade assigned by us. The default
and delinquency information presented in the table includes data only for Member
Loans that had been through at least one billing cycle as of September 30, 2012.
With respect to late Member Loans, the following table shows the entire amount
of the principal remaining due, not just that particular payment. The third and
fifth columns show the late Member Loan amounts as a percentage of member loans
that have been through at least one billing cycle. Member Loans are placed on
nonaccrual status and considered as defaulted when they become 120 days late.
The data presented in the table below comes from a set of Member Loans that have
been outstanding, on average, for approximately twelve months.
Because of our limited operating history, the data in the following table
regarding loss experience may not be representative of the loss experience that
will develop over time as additional Member Loans are originated through our
platform and the Member Loans already originated through our platform have
longer payment histories.

Table of Contents
The following table presents aggregated information for the period from May 24,
2007, to September 30, 2012, on the results of our collection efforts for all
corresponding Member Loans that became more than 30 days past due at any time,
grouped by credit grade. For purposes of this analysis, we have excluded 39
loans that we classified as identity fraud. In these cases, we wrote-off the
uncollectible loan and repaid holders of any related Notes an amount equal to
the unpaid principal balances due on the Notes less any applicable servicing
fees.
