EXPLANATORY NOTE

MRU Holdings, Inc. (“MRU” or the “Company”) timely filed its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 (the “Annual Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 29, 2006. On December 4, 2006 the Company’s Board of Directors concluded, based on the recommendations of the Company’s management, independent registered public auditors and Audit Committee, that the Company should restate its previously issued financial statements (balance sheet, statements of operations, and statements of changes in stockholders’ equity) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 as well as the financial statements (balance sheet and statements of operations) for the quarters ended March 31, September 30 and December 31, 2005 and March 31 and September 30, 2006.

The restatement is being made to give effect to the impact of EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, for the issuance and dividends related to the Company’s Series A and B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company decided that its past accounting for these equity issuances did not properly account for the difference between the issued price per share and the market price of the Company’s common stock on the commitment dates for these issuances and related dividends.

As a result of this decision, the Company is restating its statements of operations for the periods identified above to increase the preferred stock dividends for the effects of the beneficial conversion feature contained in the Company’s Series A and B Convertible Preferred Stock; this change will also increase the Company’s loss available to common shareholders and the resulting earnings per share reported. The Company’s decision will also result in a restatement of the equity sections of the balance sheets for the dates indicated above to create additional paid-in capital accounts for the beneficial conversion features of the Series A and B Convertible Preferred Stock and to increase the Company’s accumulated deficits as of these dates. The restatements have no effect on total shareholders’ equity. Further, this decision has no other effects on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition as previously reported for the stated periods.

This Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed for the purpose of amending Items 6, 7 and 8A of Part II of the Annual Report. Additionally, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Item 13 of Part III of the Annual Report has been amended to contain currently dated certifications of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer. As required by Section 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the certifications of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer are attached to this Amendment No. 1 as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.

Except as described above, no other amendments are being made to the Annual Report. All other Items of the original filing on Form 10-KSB for the period ending June 30, 2006 and filed on September 29, 2006 are unaffected by this Amendment No. 1 and such Items have not been included in this Amendment No. 1. This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the June 30, 2006 date of the Annual Report or modify or update the disclosure contained in the Annual Report in any way other than as required to reflect the amendments discussed above and reflected below. This Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the original filing of the Annual Report, as information in such filings may update or supersede certain information contained in this Amendment No. 1.
 

 
PART I

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

The Company’s earnings and growth in earnings are directly affected by the size of its portfolio of student loans, the interest rate characteristics of our student loan portfolio, and the costs associated with originating, financing, and managing our student loan portfolio.

The Company’s interest income, or net interest earned on its student loan portfolio, is the primary source of the Company’s income and is primarily impacted by the size of the portfolio and the Company’s management of its portfolio for default and delinquencies. The alternative private student loans that the Company originated through the Webbank-MRU Lending, Inc. loan program bear variable rates of interest that are adjusted monthly with the changes in the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The alternative student loans that the Company currently originates through the Doral Bank-MRU Lending, Inc. and Doral Bank-MRU Funding SPV, Inc. loan programs bear variable rates of interest that are adjusted quarterly with LIBOR. Since the Company has outsourced the servicing of its alternative private student loan portfolios to a third party, who is responsible for sending monthly statements and collecting payments from our borrowers, remitting those payments to the Company, and generating reporting on its activities to the Company, this third party is also responsible for adjusting the interest rates on all alternative student loans based on the applicable LIBOR term.

Since the Company’s alternative student loan portfolio floats with LIBOR either monthly or quarterly, the Company feels it has very limited interest rate exposure on this asset. Post-origination, the Company’s alternative student loan portfolio is most affected by rates of default, delinquencies, recoveries, and prepayments. The Company originated its first alternative student loan in June 2005, so our portfolio is not highly seasoned.

In determining the adequacy of the allowance for the loan losses on our alternative private student loan portfolio, the Company considers several factors including: loans in repayment versus those in deferred status, delinquency or default status, and recoveries.

The Company plans to either sell or securitize its alternative student loan portfolio, which will generate a gain on sale for the Company for this asset. The timing of this event is dependent on several factors, including but not limited to the following: the size of the Company’s alternative private student loan portfolio, the financial ability of the Company to hold this asset, the market at the time of the transaction for this asset class, and the ability of the Company to support the requirements for a sale or securitization transaction.

Operating expenses include the indirect costs to generate and acquire student loans and other general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses also include the depreciation of capital assets and amortization of intangible assets.

The Company does not believe inflation has a significant effect on its operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 (AUDITED) COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 (AUDITED) AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 (AUDITED).

Loan Portfolio Interest Income - Total loan portfolio interest increased from $297 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $1,206,160 for the year ended June 30, 2006 as a result of the growth of the alternative private student loan portfolio, from $158,000 as of June 30, 2005 to $38.7 million as of June 30, 2006. The Company had no interest income for the year ended December 31, 2004 as the Company had no loan portfolio at that time.

Facility interest and origination bank costs - Total facility interest and origination bank costs also increased as a result of the growth of the alternative private student loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had not yet made an advance against the credit facility with Nomura Credit and Capital (Nomura). As of June 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding advance balances with Nomura of approximately $18,730,000 and with the new credit facility with Merrill Lynch Bank USA of approximately $17,860,000. The Company incurred approximately $947,000 in facility interest costs for the year ended June 30, 2006.

1

 
The Company incurred approximately $131,000 in originating bank fees and accrued interest paid to originating banks (Webbank and Doral Bank FSB NY) during the year ending June 30, 2006. For the six months ending June 30, 2005, the Company had incurred approximately $10,000 in originating bank fees and accrued interest paid to Webbank.

The Company did not have a credit facility or loan program agreement (originating bank) for the year ended December 31, 2004, when facility interest and origination bank costs were $0 for the year.

Valuation Reserve - Student Loans Receivables - As of June 30, 2006, the Company established a valuation reserve of approximately $815,000 based upon a review of the Company’s alternative private student loans that are in repayment and extrapolating those default, delinquency, and recovery experiences to both currently serviced and deferred loans in its alternative private student loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had no experience with defaults, delinquencies, or recoveries that would support a valuation reserve on its $158,000 alternative private student loan portfolio.

Referral Marketing Costs - As of June 30, 2006, the Company had incurred approximately $372,000 in referral marketing costs paid to third parties for referring student loan borrowers to the Company to fund in alternative private student loans or to refer to other lenders for other student loan product funding. This increased from approximately $190,000 in referral marketing costs paid to third parties in the six months ending June 30, 2005, which were exclusively for student loan borrowers that the Company referred to other lenders for consolidation student loan funding.

Operating expenses - Operating expenses increased to approximately $24.2 million for the year ending June 30, 2006 from approximately $4.1 million for the six months ending June 30, 2005.
 
Stock-based compensation accounted for $7.8 million of the approximately $22.8 million in total operating expenses that the Company incurred for the year ending June 30, 2006. This resulted from the Company’s compliance with FAS 123R.
 
Salaries and benefits increased approximately $3.6 million for the year ending June 30, 2006 from the six months ending June 30, 2005 as a result of the Company’s increased student loan originations.
 
Advertising costs increased approximately $4.3 million for the year ending June 30, 2006 from the six months ending June 30, 2005 as a result of the Company’s expanding presence in the marketplace.
 
Amortization of deferred financing fees accounted for $1.8 million in total operating expenses for the year ending June 30, 2006. These costs resulted from the Company’s student loan credit facilities with Nomura Credit and Capital and Merrill Lynch Bank USA.

Operating expense increased to approximately $4.1 million for the six months ending June 30, 2005 from approximately $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
Salaries and benefits increased approximately $1.4 million for the six months ending June 30, 2005 from the year ending December 31, 2004 as a result of the Company’s initial hiring.
 
Legal fees increased approximately $315,000 for the six months ending June 30, 2005 from the year ending December 31, 2004 resulting from the increased legal fees to close the Nomura credit facility.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity requirements have consisted, and we expect that they will continue to consist, of capital expenditures, working capital, facility interest expenses, sales and marketing expenses, and general corporate expenses.

We expect to continue to leverage our credit facilities with Merrill Lynch and Nomura to provide the Company the funding required to originate future alternative private student loans.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of June 30, 2006, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $17,899,504, restricted cash of $2,975,430 and accounts receivable of $4,167. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6,894,522 and accounts receivable of $20,246. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to our Series B Preferred Convertible Stock Offering in February and May 2006. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. The Company’s uninsured cash balances were approximately $19.8 million and $6.8 million respectively for the year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Property and Equipment, Net
As of June 30, 2006, the Company had net property and equipment of $537,131. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had net property and equipment of $273,073. The increase of $264,058 in net equipment was related to our increase in general and corporate staff, sales and marketing staff, and operations staff.

Other Prepaid Expenses
We had other prepaid expense of $388,477 at June 30, 2006 compared to $133,540 at June 30, 2005. The increase in other prepaid expense was primarily due prepaid expenses for the Achiever Fund I LLC affiliate - $86,500.

Other Assets
We had other assets of $686,321 at June 30, 2006 and $570,783 at June 30, 2005. The increase in other assets is primarily due to $259,293 in net deferred financing fees, $120,000 in investment in Achiever Fund I LLC, $98,960 in net intangible assets, reduced by decrease in security deposits of $362,715.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
We had accounts payable of $1,410,865, accrued expenses of $870,571, and accrued payroll of $161,609 at June 30, 2006 and $577,478 in accounts payable, accrued expenses of $170,775, and accrued payroll of $225,644 at June 30, 2005. The increase in accounts payable is due to approximately $600,000 in increased marketing payables. The increase in accrued expenses from June 30, 2005 to June 30, 2006 is due to approximately $600,000 in accrued Series B Convertible Preferred dividends, which are payable in additional shares of Series B Convertible Preferred stock.

The Company has a $165 million three-year credit facility to collateralize its alternative private student loans with Nomura Credit and Capital (Nomura) and a $175 million one-year credit facility with Merrill Lynch Bank USA (Merrill), terms of both facilities are described in Part I, Item 1 of this annual report 10-KSB. At June 30, 2006, the Company has approximately $18,730,000 advanced on the Nomura Credit and Capital credit facility and approximately $17,864,000 advanced on the Merrill Lynch Bank US credit facility.

The Company’s subsidiaries MRU Lending, Inc. and MRU Funding SPV, Inc. have loan sale agreements with Doral Bank Federal Savings Bank New York (Doral Bank). At June 30, 2006, the Company had total commitments to Doral Bank of approximately $806,000.

Our Plan Of Operations For The Next Twelve Months

In the near term, we intend to use our cash on hand to support the ongoing operating and financing requirements of implementing our business plan. We believe that our current liquidity should be sufficient to meet our cash needs for working capital through the next twelve months. However, if cash generated from operations and cash on hand are not sufficient to satisfy liquidity requirements, we will seek to obtain additional debt or equity financing. Additional funding may not be available when needed or not available at terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is required to raise additional financing and if adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, the ability to fund expansion, develop and enhance products and services, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures may be severely limited. Such a limitation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, results of operations, and cash flow.

Our long-term liquidity will depend on the Company’s ability to execute on our business plan and to commercialize our financial products and services.

The Company is focused on generating private student loan volume from its two primary volume channels: direct to consumer and third-party referral marketing partners. In the direct to consumer channel, the Company is actively focusing on leveraging its marketing message and evaluating the mediums in which it communicates its message. In the third-party referral marketing partner channel, the Company is working with existing referral marketing partners to train partner staffs and implement processes and systems to enable referral marketing partners’ customers to easily connect to the Company’s products.

Operationally, the Company is seeking continuous improvements in its internal processes and systems to shorten the time frame from when a customer initiates a credit request to when the Company disburses the approved loan. The Company continues to attempt to better understand the Company’s customer service experience so that prospective and current borrowers can more easily understand the terms and conditions of the Company’s products versus the Company’s competitors and easily comply with the Company’s information requests required to underwrite their credit requested.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of June 30, 2006, the Company’s MRU Universal Guarantee Agency, Inc. (MRUG) subsidiary has no outstanding commitments under the credit line provided by the commitment letter MRUG received from Universal Finanz Holding AG on October 25, 2004.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.

PART II

Item 7. Financial Statements.

The financial statements and related financial statement schedule are included herein and filed as a part of this report. See Index on page F-1.

Item 8A. Controls and Procedures.

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer had previously evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2006.

In connection with this filing on Form 10-KSB/A, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer reevaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that they were effective as of June 30, 2006 as described above. In reaching this conclusion, they considered the impact of the restatement of our financial results set forth herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors
MRU Holdings, Inc.
New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MRU Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company) as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, consolidated changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and consolidated cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2006, the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We have conducted our audits in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of MRU Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the results of their consolidated operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2006, the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements, the accompanying financial statements have been restated.

On July 6, 2004 the Company changed its name to MRU Holdings, Inc. On May 20, 2005 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the Company’s year end from December 31st to June 30th.

NOTE 2 -     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records its revenue on the accrual basis, whereby revenue is recognized when earned and expenses recognized when incurred.

The Company recognizes referral income from referring consolidation and private student loan requests to other lenders when payments are received from referral partners, since referral partners only remit payments for those borrowers after the referred borrowers have completed the loan process. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has terminated all referral agreements to consolidation and private lenders and will only be paid in the future for referral income from previously referred borrowers funded by other lenders.

Interest income on student loans receivable is recognized in accordance with SFAS 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases”.
 
The Company follows SFAS 91for the revenue recognition of origination fee revenue, whereby loan origination fees are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment of yield (interest income).
 
F-8

 
Costs of Revenues
 
The Company includes as costs of revenues all direct costs related to the production of the various revenue streams of the Company’s business.

For the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred $1,078,202 in credit facility interest costs related to the collateralization of its private student loan portfolios and originating bank costs, $348,822 in referral marketing costs related to the generation of the Company’s private student loans, $82,626 in student loan servicing and custodial costs, $53,775 in consulting and hosting costs for the scholarship search product, and $23,300 in referral marketing costs related to referring consolidation loan borrowers to other lenders.

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company incurred $189,725 in referral marketing costs related to referring consolidation loan borrowers to other lenders, $25,070 in student loan servicing and custodial costs, and $10,185 in originating bank costs.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company incurred no costs of revenues.

Valuation Reserve - Student Loan Receivables
 
The Company’s private student loans receivable portfolios are held for sale, valued at the lower of cost or market. The valuation reserve represents management’s estimate of possible losses on the Company’s analysis of its portfolio. This evaluation process is subject to numerous estimates and judgments.

In determining the adequacy of the valuation reserve for the private student loans receivable portfolio, the Company considers several factors including: 2003 United States Department of Education’s cohort default rates for Title IV post-secondary educational institutions (adjusted for particular characteristics of individual borrowers including the university attended, program of study, academic progress in the current or prior program of study, and current or prior employment history), portfolio loan performance of those loans in repayment versus those in nonpayment status, and portfolio delinquency and default performance. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by management would also change, which in turn would impact the level of the Company’s future valuation reserve process.
 
The valuation reserve is maintained at a level management believes is adequate to provide for estimated possible credit losses inherent in the student loans receivable portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective because it requires estimates that may be susceptible to significant changes.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded $814,631 as a valuation reserve for its private student loans receivable. There was no valuation reserve established for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 as the Company had no expectation of a valuation reserve using our valuation reserve process at that time.

The Company places a private student loan receivable on nonaccrual status and charges off the loan when the collection of principal and/or interest is 180 days past due or if the Company learns of an event or circumstance, which in the Company’s judgment causes the loan to have a high probability of nonpayment, even before the collection of principal and/or interest is 180 days past due. The Company’s third party servicer works with borrowers who have temporarily ceased making full payments due to hardship of other factors, according to a schedule approved by the third party servicer that is consistent with established loan program servicing procedures and policies. Loan granted deferment or forbearance will move off principal and/or interest repayment, although these loans will continue to accrue interest. The Company is motivated to work with the servicer in identifying borrowers who may be delinquent on their loans due to misinformation (students frequently change addresses) or availing the student borrower deferment or forbearance. The Company wishes to actively manage its servicing and collection process for two principal reasons: to assist student borrowers maintain their credit ratings and to keep the Company’s valuation reserve as low as possible.

An analysis of the Company’s valuation reserve is presented in the following table for the three months and fiscal year ended June 30, 2006:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s uninsured cash balances were $19,782,730 and $6,805,965, respectively.

Collateral Deposit - Student Loans

On May 5, 2005, the Company entered into a loan purchase and sale agreement with Webbank, a Utah state chartered financial institution, which required the Company to post $250,000 as a collateral deposit in an interest-bearing account with Webbank. The deposit was returned to the Company as part of the termination of the loan purchase and sale agreement with Webbank in November 2005.

Security Deposits

As of June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, the Company had $30,248 and $392,963 respectively in security deposits held and controlled by other parties to secure lease agreements the Company has for office space and facilities in New York City.

On April 18, 2006, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with a consortium of European financial institutions with significant experience in consumer lending and specialty financial products to support the launch and origination of Preprime™ student loans. These private student loans address the market of post-secondary school borrowers who are currently unable to meet traditional private student loan underwriting criteria, e.g. thin or no credit history, insufficient earnings history, etc. The Company will be both the managing member (through its Achiever Funding LLC affiliate) and a minority investor in the Achiever Fund I LLC. As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s investment percentage in these affiliates was less than five (5%) percent.

The Company has not consolidated these affiliates within its financial statements per FASB Interpretation 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). FIN 46 requires consolidation by business entities of variable interest entities, which have one or more of the following characteristics (the Company’s application of the facts of the agreement to FIN 46 requirements are noted after each):

1.    The equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties, including the equity holders. (The agreement anticipated the need for more than the initial funding for each member up to a limit of $26M. The Company is limited to $1M in potential equity investment in this agreement.)
2.    The equity investors lack one or more of the following essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest:
a.    The direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights or similar rights. (Achiever Fund I, LLC is controlled by a board of directors with voting rights held by the equity investors).
b.    The obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity (Gains and losses are allocated to members based on their respective investments).
c.    The right to receive the expected residual return of the entity (Residual interests are returned to the members in a pro rata distribution based on their respective percentage interests)
3.    The equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests, and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. (Voting Rights: The agreement requires the unanimous vote of the members; under Delaware law, managers who are also members have the same rights and powers of other members unless the operating agreement provides otherwise. Entity Activities: Achiever Fund I, LLC provide student loans to unrelated third parties and thereby generates profits which are allocated to the members in proportion to their respective percentage interests.)

The Company accounts for this investment at the lower of cost or fair value, which is the Company’s investment basis (cost), per EITF 03-16, Accounting for Investments in Limited Liability Companies.

Income Taxes

The income tax benefit is computed on the pretax income (loss) based on the current tax law. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates.

Advertising

The Company expenses the costs associated with advertising and marketing as incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses, included in the statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2006, the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the year ended December 31, 2004 were $7,447,426, $124,504, and $16,030, respectively.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2006 presentation. There was no effect on net loss for the periods

Note that the Company revised its Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity through June 30, 2005 to delete all references to the former public company (Pacific Technology, Inc.), the accounting acquiree, and to present only the equity of the former private company (Iempower, Inc.), the accounting acquirer in the reverse merger that transpired.

(Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Historical net (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants.

The following is a reconciliation of the computation for basic and diluted EPS for the year ended June 30, 2006, the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the year ended December 31, 2004:

Financial Instruments Disclosures of Fair Value
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (FAS 107), requires entities to disclose the fair value of all (recognized and unrecognized) financial instruments that is practicable to estimate, including liabilities. The estimates of fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows:

The Company determined the fair value of its student loans receivable through a net present value analysis. The Company collates data from a variety of public and private sources, including the United States Department of Education, individual colleges and universities, academic research studies, the Company’s internal research and survey efforts as well as the data from credit bureaus and other credit grantors. This Company’s net present value analysis considered the following: the 2003 United States Department of Education’s cohort default rates for Title IV post-secondary educational institutions (adjusted for particular characteristics of individual borrowers including the university attended, program of study, academic progress in the current or prior program of study, and current or prior employment history), and individual loan basis of valuation, and estimated prepayment assumptions. As of June 30, 2006, the approximate 8% increase in fair value over the carrying value, which is the Company’s cost, results from this net present value modeling of future cash flows from the borrowers servicing these loans tempered by all of the above factors.
 
Stock Based Compensation

At June 30, 2006, the Company had two stock-based compensation plans, the revised 2004 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the 2005 Consultant Incentive Plan, both of which were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in November, 2005. During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement 123(R), Share-Based Payments (FAS 123R). FAS 123R requires compensation expense, measured as the fair value at the grant date, related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award.

The Company recognized $7,814,692 in stock based compensation expense for the year ended June 30, 2006.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Consistent with the requirements of FIN 48, the Company will adopt this pronouncement on July 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of FIN 48 and has not yet determined the impact, if any, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 156, Accounting for the Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 156). SFAS 140 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and requires entities to elect either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of SFAS 140 for subsequent measurement. SFAS 156 will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The adoption of SFAS 156 is not expected to have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statement 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and FASB Statement 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. SFAS 155 permits interests in hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative, which would otherwise require bifurcation, to be accounted for as a single financial instrument at fair value, with changes in fair value to be recognized in earnings. This election is permitted on an instrument-by-instrument basis for all hybrid financial instruments held, obtained, or issued as of the adoption date. The adoption of SFAS 155 is not expected to have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
NOTE 3 -    STUDENT LOAN RECEIVABLES, HELD FOR SALE
 
Student loan receivables are private student loans made to post-secondary and/or graduate students pursuing degree programs from selective colleges and universities in the United States of America and abroad. Private student loans are not guaranteed by any governmental entity and are unsecured consumer debt. Interest accrues on these loans from date of advance, with the interest rate dependent on the student borrower’s choice of repayment option (deferred, interest payment only, and principal and interest payment). Once these loans begin to service, borrower payments are applied to interest and principal consistent with the effective interest rate method per SFAS 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases. Origination fee revenue is recognized, if applicable, over the principal servicing life of the loan, also per SFAS 91.
 
The Company values its student loan receivables at the lower of cost or market. The Company determines the fair market value of its student loans receivable through a net present value analysis of its student loan portfolios on an individual loan basis. This process is described in Note 2, Financial Instruments Disclosures of Fair Value for private student loans receivable. The Company intends to sell or securitize student loans receivable at a time indefinite, such action is largely dependent on the Company’s ability to originate and/or hold similar student loans receivable to bundle for sale or securitization.

MRU Lending, Inc. and MRU Funding SPV, Inc. have loan purchase agreements with Doral Bank Federal Savings Bank New York, an affiliate of the Doral Financial Corporation. Through November 30, 2005, MRU Lending, Inc. had a loan purchase agreement with Webbank, a Utah state chartered financial institution and a wholly owned subsidiary of WebFinancial Corporation.
 
The Doral-MRU Lending loan program is secured by a $1 million ninety-day certificate of deposit held by MRU Lending at Doral Bank, with assignment rights to Doral Bank.  The Doral-MRU Funding SPV loan program is secured by a $1 million ninety-day certificate of deposit held by MRU Funding SPV at Doral Bank, with assignment rights to Doral Bank.

Through June 30, 2006, the Company purchased the following private student loan volumes through its various subsidiary loan programs:
 
o  
The Doral-MRU Lending loan program purchased approximately $18.3 million in private student loans.

o  
The Doral-MRU Funding SPV loan program purchased approximately $18.4 million in private student loans.

o  
The Webbank-MRU Lending loan program purchased approximately $1.5 million in private student loans.

NOTE 5 -    INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company acquired a scholarship resource database in July, 2005. After identification of tangible assets in this asset purchase, the Company paid and assigned a valuation of $148,440 to this intangible asset. The Company is amortizing this asset over a three year useful life. As of June 30, 2006, the book value of this intangible asset, net of $49,480 accumulated amortization, was $98,960.

NOTE 6 -    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due. Deferred taxes related to differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting will either be taxable or deductible when the assets or liabilities are recovered or settled. The difference between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting are not material; therefore, the provision for income taxes from operations consist of income taxes currently payable.

The nature of the timing differences generating the deferred tax asset is the accumulated net operating loss carry forwards that can be applied towards mitigating future tax liabilities of the Company. The Company has established a valuation account at the full value of the tax deferred asset.

There was no provision for income taxes for the year ended June 30, 2006, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the year ended December 31, 2004

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes will be measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s consolidated tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statements carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

F-15

 
The Company’s deferred tax asset, for which the Company has set aside a valuation allowance at an equal amount, is due to the expected tax benefit of the Company’s net operating losses. To date, the Company’s operations have not generated any federal, state, or local taxes beyond the minimum filing requirements, which cannot and have not been mitigated by operating loss carryforwards. The Company does not have an effective tax rate due to the Company’s lack of taxable profits to date.

At June 30, 2006 and 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had accumulated net operating loss deficits of $32,561,269, $7,572,357, and $3,501,194, respectively, available to offset future taxable income through 2026. The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the operating losses in future periods. The Company’s beneficial conversion features for the Series A and B Convertible Preferred Stock increase the Company’s accumulated deficit but does not contribute to net operating losses that can be used to offset future taxable income.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

There were 25,000,000 and 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock authorized, with 0 and 3,250,006 issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The par value for the preferred shares is $0.001 per share.
 
On January 27, 2005, the Company filed a Designation of Powers, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Certificate of Designation) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Pursuant thereto, the Company authorized 4,500,000 shares of its preferred stock to be designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and issued or offered at a purchase price equal to $3.50 per share. A total of 3,250,006 shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have been sold by the Company in the private placement transaction

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible at any time into common stock of the Company at a price of $3.50 per share subject to adjustment for future stock issuances, splits, dividends, and recapitalizations. For the first year of issuance, cumulative dividends of 7% per annum were payable quarterly in additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has no voting rights except on certain defaults in the Company’s payment of dividends and as otherwise required by law.

The Company issued 198,017 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as a dividend.

On January 12, 2006, the Board of the Directors of the Company approved and authorized the mandatory conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into the Company’s Common Stock whereas the market price of the Company’s Common Stock had exceeded $4.025 (115% of the $3.50 conversion price, as required by the Certificate of Designation of Powers, Preferences, and Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) for twenty of the thirty most recent consecutive trading days, with the thirtieth day period concluding on January 12, 2006.

Since the Company has no issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2006, there will be no additional beneficial conversion feature to record for this issuance.

Series B Convertible Preferred Private Placement

On December 30, 2005, the controlling Series A Convertible Preferred Stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, to be effective on or about February 13, 2006, creating 12,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with a $0.001 par value and a $3.80 purchase price. The power, preferences, and rights of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation include voting rights, dividends, liquidation preference, conversion rights, protective provisions, redemption, election of board of directors, and right of first refusal in any offerings of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock.

On January 5, 2006, the Company agreed to issue 6,578,948 shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at $3.80 per share to various funds of Battery Ventures and Merrill Lynch Institutional Management Equity Partners. The transaction closed on February 13, 2006. Proceeds of the financing will be used to advance the Company’s growth in the private student loan market.

F-17

 
On January 20, 2006, the Company received $5 million in proceeds from bridge promissory notes due to various funds of Battery Ventures and Merrill Lynch Institutional Management Equity Partners, bearing interest at six (6%) percent per annum based on a 365 day year. The outstanding balance of these notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable no later than the earlier of (a) April 15, 2006 or (b) the closing date of the private placement of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $25 million. These notes were retired with accrued interest on February 13, 2006.

On May 8, 2006, the Company agreed to issue an additional 1,052,632 shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at $3.80 per share to LBI Group, Inc. and Keane Capital V, LLC. Proceeds of the financing will be used to continue the Company’s growth in the private student loan market.

All Series B Convertible Preferred Stock certificates were issued as of May 8, 2006.

As of June 30, 2006, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued has not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the additional paid-in capital account for the beneficial conversion feature for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was $10,847,759. The Company will continue to recognize additional beneficial conversion feature to record for this issuance if dividends and/or additional issuances are recorded or issued.

Stock Options

Under the amended 2004 Omnibus Incentive Plan (OIP), the Company may grant incentive stock options pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (ISOs), non-qualified stock options (NQOs), restricted common stock, restricted common stock units, performance grants, unrestricted common stock, or stock appreciation rights grants to its officers, directors, and employees and NQOs, restricted common stock, restricted common stock units, unrestricted common stock, or stock appreciation rights to its consultants or third party service providers.

The Compensation Committee administers the OIP. The Compensation Committee has the complete authority and discretion to determine the terms of OIP grants.

The weighted-average fair value of these grants, calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation method under the assumptions indicated below, was $2.34 in 2006, $2.30 in 2005, and $3.34 in 2004.

The key assumptions for the Black-Scholes valuation method include the expected term of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, forfeiture rate, and exercise price. Many of these assumptions are judgmental and highly sensitive. Following is a table of the key weighted average assumptions used in the valuation calculations for the options granted in the years ended December 31, 2004, June 30, 2005, and June 30, 2006, and a discussion of our methodology for developing each of the assumption used in the valuation model.

Expected Term. This is the period of time over which the options granted are expected to remain outstanding. Options granted have a maximum term of ten years. The Company lacks sufficient historical exercise data that it may rely on to determine expected term for the grants issued through June 30, 2006. Therefore the Company relied on the simplified method for expected term as defined by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 (SAB 107), where expected term equals the sum of the vesting term and the original contractual term, which is then divided by two. The Company has noted that the simplified method for estimating expected term is only available for option grants through December 31, 2007, when the SEC anticipates more detailed information should be available to the Company. An increase in the expected term will increase share-based compensation expense.

F-18

 
Expected Volatility. Actual changes in the market value of our stock are used to calculate the volatility assumption. The Company calculated daily market value changes during the period that the grant was issued to determine volatility, which was then annualized. An increase in the expected volatility will increase share-based compensation expense.

Risk-Free Interest Rate. This is the ten-year US Treasury zero coupon bond interest rate posted at the date of grant having a term equal to the expected term of the option. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase share-based compensation expense.

Dividend Yield. This is the annual rate of dividends per share over the exercise price of the option. The Company has no history of paying a dividend, so this has been 0%. An increase in the dividend yield will increase share-based compensation expense.

Forfeiture Rate. This is the estimated percentage of options granted that are expected to be forfeited before becoming fully vested, i.e. service-based awards where the full award does not vest due non-completion of the service by the employee, director, or consultant. This percentage is derived from historical experience. An increase in the forfeiture rate will decrease compensation expense.

The warrants vest upon grant date and expire three years from grant date. These warrants may be called by the Company if the Company’s common stock trades at or above $3.00 per share for twenty consecutive days before the Company exercises this call option. For warrant holders that do not elect to participate at the call, the Company will buy back their warrants at the par value of the underlying security, which for the Company’s common stock is $0.001 per share.

The warrants expire in ten (10) years or thirty (30) days after condition of uncured lender default. The exercise price for the warrants issued to Nomura is $3.50. The 1,454,445 warrant vesting can be accelerated due to the following events: a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any Person in connection with which the holders of the Company’s Common Stock receive any consideration or distributions in respect to their holdings of the Company’s Common Stock; or a sale by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets; or the acquisition by any person or group of Persons of shares of the Company’s Common Stock from either the Company or one or more Common Stock holders of the Company in connection with the acquisition of the beneficial ownership of voting capital stock of the Company representing more than 40% of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in elections of the board of directors. The number of shares and the exercise price for which these warrants are exercisable have anti-dilution protection for the following: issuance of common stock dividends payable in additional shares of common stock; or issuance of additional shares of common stock at a price that is less than the common stock warrant exercise price of $3.50; or any event that would have the effect of not fairly protecting the purchase rights represented by these warrants.
