Boefly Publishes 1Q/2011 Loan Sale Index

Premiums stay on track for normal sized loans but drop for larger loans under new loan size limits.

New York, NY, April 18, 2011 --(PR.com)-- BoeFly, the premier online marketplace connecting lenders with business borrowers and secondary market buyers, today announced the publication of its BoeFly Loan Sale Index (SBA) for the first quarter of 2011. The BoeFly Loan Sale Index tracks the month-to-month variation in premiums paid on the secondary market sales of SBA-guaranteed loans and is a key indicator of the health of small business lending.

BoeFly Loan Sale Index - 1Q/2011 Highlights:
● During Q1, 2011, the new SBA Form 1086 took effect removing the 90 day warranty period for loan buyers. This change assisted lenders in using Gain-On-Sale treatment immediately

● Lenders began to take advantage of the new $5,000,000 loan size cap and sell larger loans on BoeFly. Larger loan sizes were shown to have a negative impact to premium. A P+2.75% loan at $1,500,000 received a 112.5% premium vs. a loan double in size at $2,800,000 receiving a 108% premium

● The BoeFly Loan Sale Index for 10-year Prime+2 loans retreated slightly from 4Q level of 108.53% to end the quarter at 108.36%. 25-year Prime+2 loans rose slightly from the end of 4Q, edging up from 110.45% to 110.53%

● Individual highs for 25-year deals were moderately lower, with 25-year P+2.75 loans topping out at 113.67% and 10-year deals reaching 110.57%.
