Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation
The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Bank Mutual Corporation (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiary Bank Mutual (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s subsidiaries.
The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, and the instructions to Form 10-Q. The financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial information. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary for a fair presentation of operations, cash flows, and financial position have been included in the accompanying financial statements. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.
In 2008 the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to employer’s disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. This new guidance was effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company’s adoption of this new guidance had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity, although it affected how certain matters are presented in the financial statements.
In April 2009 the FASB issued new accounting guidance in three areas: recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”); determining fair value for assets or liabilities in markets that are not orderly; and interim disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments. The new guidance in all of these areas was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ended after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted the new guidance in all three of these areas during the second quarter of 2009. Application of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity, although it affects how certain matters may be presented in the financial statements.
In June 2009 the Company adopted new guidance issued by the FASB related to subsequent events. In February 2010 this guidance was updated. This new guidance established general standards and requirements for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements.
In June 2009 the FASB amended certain accounting guidance related to the transfer of financial assets. This amended guidance was effective for the first annual reporting period that began after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The amended guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Earlier application was prohibited. The Company’s adoption of this amended guidance did not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

1. Basis of Presentation (continued)
In June 2009 the FASB amended certain accounting guidance related to the consolidation of variable interest entities. The amended guidance was effective as of the beginning of each entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application was prohibited. The Company’s adoption of this amended guidance had no impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.
In August 2009 the FASB issued new accounting guidance that clarified certain matters relating to the measurement of the fair value of liabilities. This guidance was effective for the first reporting period following its issuance, which for the Company was the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company’s adoption of the new guidance had no impact on its financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, or fair value disclosures.
In January 2010 the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to certain disclosures about fair value measurements. Certain aspects of the new guidance are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, which for the Company was the first quarter of 2010. The Company’s adoption of this new guidance had no impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. Certain other aspects of the new guidance are not effective until the first reporting period after December 15, 2010, which will be the first quarter of 2011 for the Company. The Company’s adoption of this portion of the new guidance is not expected to have an impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity, although it could affect the matters that will be disclosed in the financial statements.

Significant judgments and/or estimates are also made in accounting for the Company’s goodwill and OTTI of its securities available-for-sale. In the judgment of management there has been no change in the status of the Company’s goodwill during the three month period ended March 31, 2010. Information regarding the impact OTTI has had on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, can be found in Note 2, “Securities Available-for-Sale,” below.
Management also makes judgments and estimates related to its assessment of the Company’s tax assets and liabilities.

2. Securities Available-for-Sale (continued)
The Company has determined that the unrealized losses reported for its investment and mortgage-related securities as of March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, were temporary. The Company believes it is probable that it will receive all future contractual cash flows related to these securities. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is unlikely that it will be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost.
A substantial portion of the Company’s securities that were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, consisted of U.S. government and federal agency obligations and mortgage-related securities issued by government sponsored entities. Accordingly, the Company determined that none of those securities were other-than-temporarily impaired as of those dates. The Company also determined that none of its private-label collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) were other-than-temporarily impaired as of those dates. This determination was based on management’s judgment regarding the nature of the loan collateral that supports the securities, a review of the current ratings issued on the securities by various credit rating agencies, a review of the actual delinquency and/or default performance of the loan collateral that supports the securities, and recent trends in the fair market values of the securities. In addition, as of March 31, 2010, the Company had seven private-label CMOs, with an aggregate carrying value of $30,190 and unrealized loss of $2,029, that were rated less than investment grade. These seven private-label CMOs were analyzed using modeling techniques that considered the priority of cash flows in the CMO structure and various default and loss rate scenarios that management considered appropriate given the nature of the loan collateral. Based on this analysis, management concluded that none of these seven securities were other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2010, or December 31, 2009.
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded an impairment of $831 on one of its mutual fund investments. This impairment was included as a component of net gain (loss) on investments in the income statement for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
Results of operations included gross realized gains on the sale of securities available-for-sale of $4,384, and $2,893 for the three month periods ending March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. None of these periods included gross realized losses on the sale of securities available-for-sale.
The amortized cost and fair values of securities by contractual maturity at March 31, 2010, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

7. Borrowings (continued)
The Company is required to maintain certain unencumbered mortgage loans and certain mortgage-related securities as collateral against its outstanding advances from the FHLB of Chicago. Total advances from the FHLB of Chicago are limited to the lesser of: (1) 35% of the Bank’s total assets; (2) 20 times the capital stock of the FHLB of Chicago that is owned by the Bank; or (3) the total of 60% of the book value of certain multi-family mortgage loans, 75% of the book value of one- to four-family mortgage loans, and 95% of certain mortgage-related securities. Advances are also collateralized by any capital stock of the FHLB of Chicago that is owned by the Bank, which amounted to $46,092 at March 31, 2010.
The Bank has $15,000 in aggregate lines of credit with unrelated financial institutions. At March 31, 2010 and 2009, no amounts were outstanding on these lines of credit.
8. Shareholders’ Equity
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators, that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s and the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by federal regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total capital and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted assets (as all of these terms are defined in the applicable regulations). Management believes, as of March 31, 2010, that the Bank met or exceeded all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
The following table presents the Bank’s actual and required regulatory capital amounts and ratios as of March 31, 2010:

The Company had stock options for 2,064,000 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2010, and for 2,132,600 shares as of March 31, 2009, that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. These shares had weighted average exercise prices of $10.75 for both dates.
10. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has a discretionary, defined contribution savings plan (the “Savings Plan”). The Savings Plan is qualified under Sections 401 and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and provides employees meeting certain minimum age and service requirements the ability to make contributions to the Savings Plan on a pretax basis. The Company then matches a percentage of the employee’s contributions. Matching contributions made by the Company were $37 and $50 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The Company also has a defined benefit pension plan covering employees meeting certain minimum age and service requirements and a non-qualified supplemental pension plan for certain qualifying employees. The supplemental pension plan is funded through a “rabbi trust” arrangement. The benefits are generally based on years of service and the employee’s average annual compensation for five consecutive calendar years in the last ten calendar years that produces the highest average. The Company’s funding policy for the qualified plan is to contribute annually the amount necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

The amount of the 2010 contribution will be determined based on a number of factors, including the results of the Actuarial Valuation Report as of January 1, 2010. At this time, the amount of the 2010 contribution is not known.
11. Stock-Based Benefit Plans
In 2001 the Company’s shareholders approved the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2001 Plan”), which provided for stock option awards of up to 4,150,122 shares. Options granted under the 2001 Plan vested over five years and had expiration terms of ten years. The 2001 Plan also provided for restricted stock (“MRP”) awards of up to 1,226,977 shares. All options and MRPs awarded under the 2001 Plan are fully vested and no further awards may be granted under the 2001 Plan.
In 2004 the Company’s shareholders approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”), which provided for stock option awards of up to 4,106,362 shares. Options granted under the 2004 Plan vest over five years and have expiration terms of ten years. The 2004 Plan also provided for MRP awards of up to 1,642,521 shares. MRP shares awarded under the 2004 Plan vest over five years. As of March 31, 2010, 654,721 MRP shares and options for 1,592,362 shares remain eligible for award under the 2004 Plan.
The Company has no stock compensation plans that have not been approved by shareholders.
MRP grants are amortized to compensation expense as the Company’s employees and directors become vested in the granted shares. The amount amortized to expense was $19 and $490 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Outstanding non-vested MRP grants had a fair value of $138 and an unamortized cost of $248 at March 31, 2010. The cost of these shares is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded stock option compensation expense of $9 and $92, respectively. As of March 31, 2010, there was $105 in total unrecognized stock option compensation expense related to non-vested options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

Weighted average exercise price | | | | | | $ | 11.8151 | | | | | | | $ | 8.0801 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
There were no options exercised during the three month period ended March 31, 2010. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the three month period ended March 31, 2009, was $369. The weighted average grant date fair value of non-vested options at March 31, 2010, was $2.01 per share. There were no grants, forfeitures, or vesting of non-vested options during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of granted options. This model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. However, the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from traded options and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. Option valuation models such as Black-Scholes require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility, which is computed using five-years of actual price activity in the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data of employee behavior as a basis to estimate the expected life of the options, as well as forfeitures due to employee terminations. The Company also uses its actual dividend yield at the time of the grant, as well as actual U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of the grant to estimate the risk-free rate. There were no options granted during the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

12. Income Taxes
During first quarter of 2009 the Company recorded a $1.8 million tax benefit related to the elimination of a valuation allowance it had established against a deferred tax asset in prior years. The deferred tax asset related to Wisconsin net operating loss carryovers for which the Company was unable to determine in prior periods whether it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would be realized in future periods. In the first quarter of 2009 Wisconsin law was amended from a system that taxed each affiliated entity separately to a form of combined reporting. As a result of this change, the Company determined that its Wisconsin net operating losses that had not been recognized in prior periods would be realizable, resulting in a one-time tax benefit of $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2009.
13. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Off-balance sheet financial instruments or obligations whose contract amounts represent credit and/or interest rate risk at March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31 | | | December 31 | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
| | |
Unused consumer lines of credit | | $ | 150,038 | | | $ | 150,424 | |
Unused commercial lines of credit | | | 15,390 | | | | 18,904 | |
Commitments to extend credit: | | | | | | | | |
Fixed rate | | | 65,696 | | | | 35,769 | |
Adjustable rate | | | 4,129 | | | | 2,185 | |
Undisbursed commercial loans | | | 342 | | | | 524 | |
Standby letters of credit | | | 111 | | | | 111 | |
The Company sells substantially all of its long-term, fixed-rate, one- to four-family loan originations in the secondary market. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk associated with these activities. Specifically, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) with borrowers, which are considered to be derivative instruments. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk in IRLCs (as well as interest rate risk in its loans held-for-sale) by entering into forward commitments to sell loans to the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”). Commitments to sell loans expose the Company to interest rate risk if market rates of interest decrease during the commitment period. Such forward commitments are considered to be derivative instruments. These derivatives are not designated as accounting hedges as specified in GAAP. As such, changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized currently through earnings.
As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, net unrealized gains of $29 and $218, respectively, were recognized in net gain on loan sales activities on the derivative instruments specified in the previous paragraph. These amounts were exclusive of net unrealized gains of $119 and $940 on loans held-for-sale as of those dates, respectively, which were also included in net gain on loan sales activities.

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Disclosure of fair value information about certain financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated financial statements, for which it is practicable to estimate the value, is summarized below. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.
Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.
Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from this disclosure. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value of amounts presented does not represent the underlying value of the Company and is not particularly relevant to predicting the Company’s future earnings or cash flows.
The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.
Securities Available-for-SaleFair values for these securities are based on quoted market prices or such prices of comparable instruments. These securities are recorded on the statement of financial condition at fair value; thus the carrying value equals fair value.
Loans Held-for-SaleThe fair value of loans held-for-sale is based on the current market price for securities collateralized by similar loans. Loans held-for-sale are recorded on statement of financial condition at fair value; thus the carrying value equals fair value.

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Loans ReceivableLoans receivable are segregated by type such as one- to four-family, multi-family, and commercial real estate mortgage loans, consumer loans, and commercial business loans. The fair value of each type is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the expected maturity of the loans using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan type.
The estimated maturity is based on the Company’s historical experience with prepayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions.
Mortgage Servicing RightsThe Company has calculated the fair market value of MSRs for those loans that are sold with servicing rights retained. For valuation purposes, loans are stratified by product type and, within product type, by interest rates. The fair value of MSRs is based upon the present value of estimated future cash flows using current market assumptions for prepayments, servicing cost and other factors.
Federal Home Loan Bank StockFHLB of Chicago stock is carried at cost, which is its redeemable (fair) value, since the market for this stock is restricted.
Accrued Interest Receivable and PayableThe carrying values of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate their fair value.
Deposit Liabilities and Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes and InsuranceFair value for demand deposits equal book value. Fair values for other deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current market borrowing interest rates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on deposits. The advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance are equal to their carrying amounts at the reporting date.
BorrowingsThe fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow calculations with the discount rates equal to interest rates currently being offered for borrowings with similar terms and maturities. The carrying value on short-term borrowings approximates fair value.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing its financial assets and liabilities, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), the next highest priority to prices based on models, methodologies, and/or management judgments that rely on direct or indirect observable inputs (Level 2), and the lowest priority to prices derived from models, methodologies, and/or management judgments that rely on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy (i.e., Level 1, 2, or 3) the Company’s financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated. The Company’s financial liabilities accounted for at fair value were a negligible amount as of these dates. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

For purposes of the impairment testing of MSRs, the underlying mortgage loans are stratified into pools by product type and, within product type, by interest rates. Pools with an amortized cost basis greater than fair value are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements (refer to Note 1 for additional discussion). Although not included in the above table, the Company considers the fair value of MSRs to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Pools determined to be impaired at March 31, 2010, had an amortized cost basis of $2,961 and a fair value of $2,598 as of that date. Pools determined to be impaired at December 31, 2009, had an amortized cost basis of $2,286 and a fair value of $1,999 as of that date. Accordingly, the Company established a valuation allowance of $363 as of March 31, 2010, compared to $287 as of December 31, 2009. Refer to Note 4 for additional disclosures related to MSRs.
For non-accrual loans greater than an established threshold and individually evaluated for impairment and all renegotiated loans, impairment is measured based on: (1) the fair value of the loan or the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs (collectively the “collateral value method”) or (2) the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate (the “discounted cash flow method”). The resulting valuation allowance, if any, is a component of the allowance for loan losses. The discounted cash flow method is a fair value measure. For the collateral value method, the Company generally obtains appraisals to support the fair value of collateral underlying the loans. Appraisals incorporate measures such as recent sales prices for comparable properties and costs of construction. The Company considers these fair values to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. For those loans individually evaluated for impairment using the collateral value method, a valuation allowance of $8,244 was recorded for loans with a recorded investment of $22,873 at March 31, 2010. These amounts were $6,033 and $16,299 at December 31, 2009, respectively.
Foreclosed properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. In determining fair value, the Company generally obtains appraisals to support the fair value of foreclosed properties. The Company considers these fair values to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2010, $14,859 in foreclosed properties were valued at collateral value compared to $10,442 at December 31, 2009.

Results of Operations
OverviewThe Company’s net income was $2.1 million or $0.05 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $7.2 million or $0.15 per diluted share during the same period in 2009. The Company’s net income in these periods represented a return on average assets (“ROA”) of 0.24% and 0.82%, respectively, and a return on average equity (“ROE”) of 2.09% and 7.16%, respectively.
Net income during the three months ended March 31, 2010, was impacted by the following unfavorable developments compared to the same period in 2009:
• | | a $5.1 million or 26.5% decrease in net interest income; |
|
• | | a $3.2 million or 83.0% decrease in gains on loan sales activities; |
|
• | | a $1.0 million increase in losses on foreclosed real estate from a gain in 2009; and |
|
• | | a $649,000 or 179% increase in federal deposit insurance premiums. |
These unfavorable developments were partially offset by the following favorable developments relative to the same period in 2009:
• | | a $2.3 million or 113% increase in gains on investments; |
|
• | | a $1.3 million or 12.6% decrease in compensation-related expenses; |
26
• | | a $618,000 or 37.0% decrease in income tax expense; and |
|
• | | a $490,000 increase in net loan-related fees and servicing revenue from a loss in 2009. |
The following paragraphs describe these changes in greater detail, along with other matters affecting the Company’s results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Net Interest IncomeNet interest income decreased by $5.1 million or 26.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. This decline was principally the result of a 54 basis point decrease in interest rate spread, as well as a $63.9 million or 2.0% decrease in average earning assets. The Company’s interest rate spread was 1.53% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 2.07% in the first quarter of last year. In recent periods the Company has experienced increased levels of liquidity due to reduced loan demand and increased repayment activity in its loan and securities portfolios. These developments were attributable to a general deterioration in economic conditions, as well as a historically low interest rate environment that has resulted in increased refinancing of adjustable-rate residential and home equity loans into fixed-rate residential loans, which the Company typically sells in the secondary market. In an effort to reduce its exposure to the negative effects of higher interest rates in the future, the Company has reinvested cash flows from these sources in short- to medium-term fixed-rate securities and has increased its holding of overnight investments. Such investments typically have lower yields than longer-term, fixed-rate loans and securities. In addition, the Company has also sold certain long-term, fixed-rate securities and reinvested the proceeds in short- to medium-term fixed-rate securities. As a result of these developments, the Company expects that its interest rate spread may continue to decline in the near term, although there can be no assurances.
The Company has also managed its liquidity position over the past year by reducing the rates it offers on its certificates of deposits and certain other deposit accounts. This has resulted in a $59.5 million or 2.9% decrease in average deposit liabilities during the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. It has also resulted in a 91 basis point decline in the weighted average cost of interest-bearing deposit liabilities during this first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.
The following table presents certain details regarding the Company’s average balance sheet and net interest income for the periods indicated. The tables present the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. The average balances are derived from daily balances over the periods indicated. Interest income includes fees, which are considered adjustments to yields. Net interest spread is the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is derived by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets. No tax equivalent adjustments were made since the Company does not have any tax exempt investments.

Provision for Loan LossesThe Company’s provision for loan losses was $3.4 million during the first quarter of 2010 compared to $3.2 million in the same period last year. The losses in both periods were affected by a decline in economic conditions and increased levels of unemployment since 2008, which has resulted in increased stress on the Company’s borrowers, increased loan delinquencies, and lower real estate values. These conditions have been particularly challenging for the Company’s portfolio of multi-family and commercial real estate loans. During the first quarter of 2010 the Company recorded $2.2 million in loss provisions against four unrelated loan relationships aggregating $10.2 million that defaulted during the period and were determined to be collateral dependent. These loans are secured by office, commercial, and retail buildings, developed land, and equipment and inventory. These losses were based on internal management evaluations, including consideration of the original appraisals obtained at the time the loans were granted and subsequent market developments.
Also during the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded $1.0 million in losses against two unrelated loan relationships aggregating $13.9 million that were determined to be collateral dependent in previous periods. These losses were based on internal management evaluations, including consideration of the original appraisals. Management determined that the fair value of the collateral for these loans, which consists of office buildings, apartment buildings, and developed land, had declined further during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. This determination was based on internal management evaluations, including consideration of the most recent appraisals for these properties, as well as current market conditions. These losses were in addition to $4.5 million in aggregate loss allowances that were established against these loans in prior periods. Also included in the provision for loan losses during the first quarter of 2010 were
29
$184,000 in net losses on a number of smaller commercial real estate and commercial business loans, as well as residential and consumer loans.
During the first quarter of the previous year the Company recorded a $1.3 million provision for loss against a $9.1 million loan secured by a completed condominium development project and a $476,000 loss on a $3.4 million loan secured by an apartment building. The Company transferred both of these loans to foreclosed real estate in 2009. The Company also established $566,000 in specific loss allowances on a number of smaller commercial real estate and commercial business loans during the first quarter of 2009 and experienced an overall increase in charge-off activity in its portfolio of residential and consumer loans. In addition to these losses, the Company recorded nearly $600,000 in additional loan loss provisions in the first quarter of 2009 that reflected management’s general concerns relating to deterioration in economic conditions, increased unemployment rates, and declines in real estate values.
For additional discussion related to the Company’s non-performing loans, non-performing assets, and allowance for loan losses, refer to “Financial Condition—Asset Quality,” below.
Non-Interest IncomeTotal non-interest income decreased by $312,000 or 3.4% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same quarter in 2009. Significant reasons for this decrease are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Gains on sales of loans decreased by $3.2 million or 83.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. During the first quarter of 2010 sales of one- to four-family mortgage loans were $45.9 million compared to $182.7 million during the same period in 2009. Loan sales increased substantially in early 2009 in response to a historically low interest rate environment that encouraged many fixed-rate borrowers to refinance existing loans at lower rates. In addition, adjustable-rate borrowers were motivated to refinance into fixed-rate loans. The Company sells substantially all of these loans in the secondary market. Higher interest rates during the latter half of 2009 and into 2010 have resulted in lower originations and sales of mortgage loans during the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in the previous year. Absent a decline in interest rates from current levels, the Company expects gains on sales of loans to be substantially lower during the remainder of 2010 than they were in 2009.
Service charges on deposits declined by $56,000 or 3.9% during the three-months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. This decline was due principally to a decrease in overdraft charges and ATM/debit card fees. Management attributes these declines to the economic recession, which has resulted in reduced spending by consumers in general, including deposit customers of the Company.
Gains on investment activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010, were $4.4 million compared to $2.1 million during the same period in 2009. Results for the first quarter of 2009 were net of $831,000 in OTTI charges related to a mutual fund investment. Excluding this charge, gains on investment activities during the first quarter of 2009 were $2.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company sold $167.6 million and $152.2 million, respectively, in long-term, fixed-rate mortgage-related securities. The proceeds of these sales were reinvested primarily in medium-term government agency securities, short-term agency CMOs, and adjustable-rate agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBSs”). Management considered these actions to be prudent in light of its expectations that interest rates may trend higher in the future.
The mutual fund described in the previous paragraph invests primarily in mortgage-related securities, none of which are secured by sub-prime mortgages, but a portion of which are secured by interest-only mortgages, option-payment mortgages, and other “Alt-A” mortgages. As a result of an increase in the fair value of this mutual fund, an additional impairment has not been recorded on this investment since the first quarter of 2009. However, given the uncertainty that exists in the markets for investments secured by these types of loans, as well as the possibility of continued deterioration in the performance of these types of
30
loans, the Company may be required to record future impairment charges against this investment, although there can be no assurances. This investment had a carrying value of $21.7 million at March 31, 2010, which included an unrealized gain of $861,000 based on the mutual fund’s fair value as of that date. This unrealized gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (net of related taxes), which is a component of shareholders’ equity.
Net loan-related fees and servicing revenue was $158,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $(332,000) in the same period of 2009. The following table presents the primary components of net loan-related fees and servicing revenue for the periods indicated:

| | | | | | |
Loan-related fees and servicing revenue, net | | $ | 158 | | | $ | (332 | ) |
| | | | | | |
Gross servicing fees increased by $166,000 or 35.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same three month period in 2009. As of March 31, 2010, the Company serviced $1.0 billion in loans for third-party investors compared to $798.3 million at March 31, 2009. This increase was caused by a substantial increase in one- to four-family loans originated and sold in the secondary market due to historically low interest rates in 2009. Amortization of MSRs declined by $547,000 or 53.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in the previous year. Lower interest rates in 2009 caused an increase in mortgage loan prepayment activity, which in turn caused in an increase in MSR amortization in the first quarter of that year. Loan-related fees and servicing revenue is also impacted by changes in the valuation allowance that is established against MSRs. The change in this allowance is included in loan-related fees and servicing revenue as a recovery or charge, as the case may be, in the period in which the change occurs. During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the valuation allowance increased by $76,000 compared to a decrease of $120,000 during the same period in 2009. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had a valuation allowance of $363,000 against MSRs with a gross book value of $7.1 million.
The valuation of MSRs, as well as the periodic amortization of MSRs, is significantly influenced by the level of market interest rates and loan prepayments. If market interest rates for one- to four-family loans increase and/or actual or expected loan prepayment expectations decrease in future periods, the Company could recover all or a portion of its previously established allowance on MSRs, as well as record reduced levels of MSR amortization expense. Alternatively, if interest rates decrease and/or prepayment expectations increase, the Company could potentially record charges to earnings related to increases in the valuation allowance on its MSRs. In addition, amortization expense could remain elevated due to likely increases in loan prepayment activity.
Other non-interest income increased by $187,000 or 11.6% during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same quarter in 2009. Most of this increase was due to an increase in earnings from the Company’s investment in bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”).
Non-Interest ExpenseTotal non-interest expense increased by $108,000 or 0.7% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. This increase was due to a loss on foreclosed real estate and an increase in FDIC insurance premium expense. These developments were substantially offset by a decrease in compensation and related costs.
31
Losses on foreclosed real estate were $955,000 during the first quarter of 2010 compared to gains of $5,000 in the same quarter last year. In recent periods the Company has experienced an increase in losses on foreclosed real estate due to continued declines in real estate values and weak economic conditions. These losses are determined through updated appraisals or internal management evaluations of current market conditions. If market conditions continue to deteriorate, future losses on foreclosed real estate could remain elevated in the near term.
FDIC premium expense was $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $362,000 during the same period in 2009. In 2009 the FDIC raised its regular premium rates for all financial institutions. In addition, during the first quarter of 2009 the Company used the last of certain premium credits that had been available to offset deposit insurance premium costs. There may be further increases in the FDIC premium rates and/or special premium assessments in future periods, either as a result of changes in law or to respond to losses in the FDIC’s insurance fund. Any such increases or special assessments could have a significant adverse affect on the Company’s results of operations, capital resources, or liquidity in future periods.
Compensation and related expenses decreased by $1.3 million or 12.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in stock-based compensation. The Company expects ESOP expense to be substantially lower in 2010 than it has been in prior periods due to the expiration of the original ten-year commitment to the plan. The Company does not expect to maintain ESOP contributions at prior years’ levels in 2010. However, this decision is subject to review on a periodic basis and contributions may be increased in future years. Also contributing to the decrease in stock-based compensation in 2010 relative to 2009 was a large grant of stock options and restricted stock that was made in 2004 that became fully vested in mid-2009. No related amortization expense related to that grant has been recorded beyond that point.
Income TaxesIncome tax expense was $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $1.7 million in the same quarter of 2009. In the first quarter of 2009 the Company recorded a $1.8 million tax benefit related to the elimination of a valuation allowance the Company established against a deferred tax asset in prior years. The deferred tax asset related to Wisconsin net operating loss carryovers for which management was unable to determine in prior periods whether it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would be realized in future periods. In the first quarter of 2009 Wisconsin law was amended from a system that taxed each affiliated entity separately to a form of combined reporting. As a result of this change, management determined that the Company’s Wisconsin net operating losses that had not been recognized in prior periods would be realizable, resulting in a one-time tax benefit of $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2009. Excluding the impact of this one-time tax benefit, the Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) for the first three months of 2010 and 2009 was 33.3% and 39.2%, respectively. The Company’s ETR is lower in 2010 because non-taxable revenue, such as earnings from BOLI, comprises a larger percentage of pre-tax earnings than it did in 2009.
Like many Wisconsin financial institutions, the Bank has non-Wisconsin subsidiaries that hold and manage investment assets, the income from which was not subject to Wisconsin tax prior to 2009. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (the “Department”) has instituted an audit program specifically aimed at financial institutions’ out-of-state investment subsidiaries. The Department has asserted the position that some or all of the income of the out-of-state subsidiaries in years prior to 2009 was taxable in Wisconsin. This audit program has not been concluded, is not being actively pursued, and the Department has not asserted a claim against the Bank or its subsidiaries. Depending upon the terms and circumstances, an adverse resolution of these matters could result in additional Wisconsin tax obligations for prior periods, which could have a substantial negative impact on the Bank’s earnings in the period of the resolution. Although the Bank believes it has reported income and paid Wisconsin taxes in prior periods in accordance with applicable legal requirements and the Department’s long-standing interpretations of them, the Bank’s position may not prevail in court or other actions may occur which give rise to liabilities. The Bank may also incur further costs in the future to address and defend these issues.

Financial Condition
OverviewThe Company’s total assets decreased by $67.4 million or 1.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Total assets at March 31, 2010, were $3.44 billion compared to $3.51 billion at December 31, 2009. During the period the Company’s cash and cash equivalents declined by $85.6 million or 37.6% and its loan portfolio declined by $40.6 million or 2.7%. These developments were partially offset by a $60.0 million or 4.0% increase in the Company’s securities available-for sale. The Company’s deposit liabilities decreased by $44.8 million or 2.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2010, and other liabilities decreased by $27.4 million or 45.9%. The Company’s total shareholders’ equity decreased from $402.5 million at December 31, 2009, to $398.2 million at March 31, 2010. Non-performing assets increased by $8.8 million or 14.6% to $69.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
The following paragraphs describe these changes in greater detail, along with other changes in the Company’s financial condition during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents declined from $227.7 million at December 31, 2009, to $142.1 million at March 31, 2010. Although the Company continues to maintain a relatively high level of overnight investments for reasons described earlier in this report, during the first quarter the Company reduced its holding of such investments to purchase securities available-for-sale and to fund declines in deposit liabilities and other liabilities.
Securities Available-for-SaleThe Company’s portfolio of securities available-for-sale increased by $60.0 million or 4.0% in the aggregate during the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily caused by the purchase of $507.8 million in securities consisting principally of medium-term government agency securities. These purchases were offset in part by $167.6 million in sales of long-term, fixed-rate MBSs, as previously described, as well as $206.0 million in securities that were called by their issuers during the period.
The Company classifies all of its securities as available-for-sale. Changes in the fair value of such securities are recorded through accumulated other comprehensive loss (net of deferred income taxes), which is a component of shareholders’ equity. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the fair value adjustment on the Company’s available-for-sale securities improved from a net unrealized loss of $1.9 million at December 31, 2009, to a net unrealized loss of $139,000 at March 31, 2010. This improvement was due in part to an increase in the fair value of the Company’s portfolio of private-label CMOs. The Company’s private-label CMOs were originally purchased from 2004 to early 2006 and are secured by prime residential mortgage loans. The securities were all rated “triple-A” by various credit rating agencies at the time of their original purchase. However, in 2009, a number of the securities in the portfolio were downgraded. The following table presents the credit ratings, carrying values, and unrealized losses of the Company’s private-label CMO portfolio as of the dates indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2010 | | | December 31, 2009 | |
| | Carrying | | | Unrealized | | | Carrying | | | Unrealized | |

33
Although the net unrealized loss on the Company’s private-label CMOs declined during the three months ended March 31, 2010, the market value for these securities has remained depressed due to a general deterioration in economic conditions and related declines in real estate values. However, management has determined that it is unlikely the Company will not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of these securities. As such, management has determined that none of the Company’s private-label CMOs are other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2010. However, collection is subject to numerous factors outside of the Company’s control and a future determination of OTTI could result in significant losses being recorded through earnings in future periods. For additional discussion relating to the Company’s securities available-for-sale, refer to “Results of Operations—Non-Interest Income,” above, as well as Note 2, “Securities Available-for-Sale,” of the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, above.
Loans ReceivableLoans receivable decreased by $40.6 million or 2.7% as of March 31, 2010, compared to December 31, 2009. The Company’s portfolio of one- to four-family loans declined from $656.0 million at December 31, 2009, to $627.0 million at March 31, 2010. This decline was caused by continued refinancing of adjustable-rate loans by borrowers (which the Company typically retains in portfolio) into fixed-rate loans (which the Company generally sells). Although market interest rates for mortgage loans have trended higher in recent months, the Company expects borrowers to continue to prefer fixed-rate mortgage loans in the near term, which could impact its ability to increase its portfolio of one- to four-family loans.
The Company’s multi-family and commercial real estate mortgage loan originations were $7.1 million in the aggregate for the first three months of 2010 compared to $22.2 million for the same period in 2009. In addition, its commercial business loan originations for the first three months of 2010 were $4.4 million compared to $5.7 million during the same period in 2009. Although the Company continues to emphasize originations of these types of loans, originations have declined in recent periods due to a general deterioration in economic conditions, as well as the Company’s conservative underwriting standards. Despite this decline, the Company’s aggregate portfolio of multi-family and commercial real estate mortgage loans increased from $476.3 million at December 31, 2009, to $491.6 million at March 31, 2010. This increase was due to fewer loan repayments and maturities in recent periods, as well as construction and development loans that were transferred to permanent financing during the quarter. As a result of this latter development, the Company’s portfolio of construction and development loans declined by $23.2 million or 24.2% during the first quarter of 2010. The Company’s portfolio of commercial business loans decreased from $52.0 million at December 31, 2009, to $47.2 million at March 31, 2010.
The Company’s consumer loan originations, including fixed-term home equity loans and lines of credit, were $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $19.3 million for the same period last year. Lower origination activity in recent periods has been primarily the result of declining demand due to slower economic growth, as well as a general decline in real estate values, which has had a negative impact on homeowners’ equity. Reduced origination activity resulted in a decline in the Company’s consumer loan portfolio from $275.5 million at December 31, 2009, to $266.0 million at March 31, 2010. Also contributing to this decline was a low interest rate environment in recent periods which has encouraged many borrowers to refinance their home equity loans or lines of credit and other consumer loans into first mortgage loans during the period. Many of these borrowers reestablished home equity lines of credit with the Company in accordance with its established lending standards, but had not drawn substantial amounts on these lines as of the end of the first quarter.
34
The following table sets forth the Company’s mortgage, consumer, and commercial loan originations and purchases for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | |
| | March 31 | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Mortgage loans: | | (Dollars in thousands) | |

Multi-family | | | 3,861 | | | | 5,486 | |
Commercial real estate | | | 3,189 | | | | 16,670 | |
| | |
Total mortgage loans | | | 61,661 | | | | 239,341 | |
Consumer loans | | | 15,165 | | | | 19,269 | |
Commercial business loans | | | 4,401 | | | | 5,657 | |
| | |
Total loan originations | | | 81,227 | | | | 264,267 | |
One- to four-family mortgage loans purchased | | | — | | | | 1,570 | |
| | |
Total loans originated and purchased | | $ | 81,227 | | | $ | 265,837 | |
| | |
In light of current economic conditions and recent loan origination activity, management expects growth in all categories of the Company’s loan portfolio to be slow or negative in the near term, although there can be no assurances.
Mortgage Servicing RightsThe carrying values of the Company’s MSRs were $6.8 million at March 31, 2010, compared to $6.9 million at December 31, 2009, net of valuation allowances of $363,000 and $287,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, the Company serviced $1.0 billion in loans for third-party investors.
Other AssetsAs a condition of membership in the FHLB of Chicago, the Company holds shares of the FHLB of Chicago that had a carrying value of $46.1 million at both March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, and which is included as a component of other assets. In 2007, the FHLB of Chicago was required to suspend payment of dividends on its stock. If there are any further developments that impair the value of the common stock of the FHLB of Chicago, the Company may be required to write down the value of the shares it holds, which in turn would affect the Company’s net income in the period of the write down and shareholders’ equity.
Deposit LiabilitiesDeposit liabilities decreased by $44.8 million or 2.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2010, to $2.09 billion compared to $2.14 billion at December 31, 2009. Core deposits, consisting of checking, savings, and money market accounts, decreased by $17.3 million or 2.0% during the period while certificates of deposit declined by a $27.5 million or 2.1%. Management attributes the decline in core deposits to seasonal activity that typically results in increases in such deposits near the end of a calendar year. With respect to the decline in certificates of deposits, the Company has aggressively reduced the rates it offers on its certificates of deposit in recent periods in an effort to manage its overall liquidity position, which has resulted in a decline in certificates of deposit. As a result of these efforts, the weighted average cost of deposits declined by 91 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in the previous year.
35
BorrowingsBorrowings, which consisted of advances from the FHLB of Chicago, declined slightly during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The following table presents the Company’s FHLB advances by contractual maturities as of that date.
| | | | | | | | |
| | Amount | | | Rate | |
| | (Dollars in thousands) | |
FHLB advances maturing in: | | | |
2012 | | $ | 100,000 | | | | 4.52 | % |
2013 | | | 260 | | | | 4.17 | |
2016 | | | 200,000 | | | | 4.25 | |
2017 | | | 557,413 | | | | 4.15 | |
Thereafter | | | 49,047 | | | | 5.12 | |
| | |
Total FHLB advances | | $ | 906,720 | | | | 4.27 | % |
| | |
A substantial portion of these advances contain quarterly redemption options that are subject to potential exercise by the FHLB of Chicago. As of March 31, 2010, substantially all of the Company’s FHLB of Chicago advances were subject to significant prepayment penalties if voluntarily repaid prior to their stated maturity.
Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes and InsuranceAdvance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance (i.e., escrow deposits) were $11.8 million at March 31, 2010, compared to $2.5 million at December 31, 2009. Escrow deposits typically increase during the course of the calendar year until real estate tax obligations are paid, generally in December of each year or January of the following year.
Other LiabilitiesOther liabilities were $32.3 million at March 31, 2010, compared to $59.7 million at December 31, 2009. Substantially all of this decrease was caused by amounts due to securities brokers for securities purchased in December 2009 that settled in January 2010.
Shareholders’ EquityThe Company’s shareholders’ equity decreased slightly during the three months ended March 31, 2010. During this period the positive effects of the Company’s earnings and a decline in its accumulated other comprehensive loss were offset by dividend payments and stock repurchases. The Company’s ratio of total shareholders’ equity to total assets was 11.56% at March 31, 2010, compared to 11.46% at December 31, 2009. A quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share was paid in during the first quarter 2010. The dividend payout ratio was 152% of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2010. On May 3, 2010, the Company’s board of directors announced that it had declared a $0.07 per share dividend payable on June 1, 2010, to shareholders of record on May 14, 2010.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company repurchased 690,800 shares of Company common stock at an average price of $6.55 per share. For additional discussion, refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Resources,” and Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds,” below.

Additional interest income that would have been recognized if non-accrual loans had been current | | $ | 2,773 | | | $ | 2,671 | |
The Company’s non-performing loans were 3.40% of loans receivable as of March 31, 2010, compared to 2.83% as of December 31, 2009. The ratios of non-performing assets to total assets were 2.01% and 1.72% as of these same dates, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company’s non-performing loans increased by $7.2 million or 16.8%. This increase was caused by the economic recession and increased unemployment over the past year that resulted in increased stress on borrowers and increased loan delinquencies. The increase in non-performing loans in the first quarter of 2010 was principally caused by the default of $10.2 million in loans to four unrelated borrowers, as previously described. The collateral for one of these relationships, a $3.3 million loan secured by a retail center and office building, was transferred to foreclosed real estate during the quarter, net of its allowance for loan loss of $550,000.
Foreclosed real estate increased from $17.7 million at December 31, 2009, to $19.3 million at March 31, 2010. This increase was due to the transfer described in the previous paragraph, which was partially offset by the sale during the quarter of another foreclosed property that had a carrying value of $2.3 million. The proceeds on this sale approximated the property’s carrying value.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses increased to $18.9 million or 1.29% of total loans at March 31, 2010, compared to $17.0 million or 1.13% at December 31, 2009. As a percent of non-performing loans, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was 38.0% at March 31, 2010, compared to 40.0% at December 31, 2009. The dollar increase in the allowance was caused by the additional loss allowances that were established in the first quarter of 2010, as described earlier in this report. This development was partially offset by loan charge-offs during the period.
The allowance for loan losses has been determined in accordance with GAAP. Management is responsible for the timely and periodic determination of the amount of the allowance required. Future provisions for loan losses will continue to be based upon management’s assessment of the overall loan portfolio and the underlying collateral, trends in non-performing loans, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. To the best of management’s knowledge, all known and inherent losses have been provided for in the allowance for loan losses.
Refer to “Operating Results—Provision for Loan Losses,” above, for additional discussion.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
LiquidityThe term “liquidity” refers to the Company’s ability to generate cash flow to fund loan originations, loan purchases, deposit withdrawals, and operating expenses. The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposit liabilities, scheduled payments, prepayments, and maturities of loans and securities available-for-sale, sales of one- to four-family loans in the secondary market, occasional sales of securities available-for-sale, borrowings from the FHLB of Chicago, and cash flow provided by the Company’s operations. Historically, these sources of funds have been adequate to maintain liquidity,
38
with the Company borrowing correspondingly more in periods in which its operations generate less cash. In the event these sources of liquidity would become inadequate, management believes that the Company could access the wholesale deposit market, although there can be no assurances that wholesale deposits would be available if needed.
Scheduled payments and maturities of loans and securities available-for-sale are relatively predictable sources of funds. However, cash flows from deposit liabilities, calls of investment securities, and prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities are strongly influenced by interest rates, general and local economic conditions, and competition in the marketplace. For example, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, prepayments in the Company’s mortgage-related securities, prepayments in its one- to four-family mortgage loan portfolio, and calls of certain investment securities increased because of the interest rate environment. A different interest rate environment could lead to a significantly different result. These factors reduce the predictability of the timing of these sources of funds.
The Company is committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position; therefore, management monitors the Company’s liquidity position on a daily basis. Based upon historical experience and available sources of liquidity, management anticipates that the Company will have sufficient funds to meet current funding commitments. For additional discussion refer to “Financial Condition,” above, and “Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure s about Market Risk” in Part I, Item 3, below.
Capital ResourcesAt March 31, 2010, the Bank exceeded each of the applicable regulatory capital requirements (refer to Note 8, “Shareholders’ Equity,” of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, above). In order to be classified as “well-capitalized” by the FDIC, the Bank is required to have Tier 1 (leverage) capital to total adjusted assets of at least 5.0% and total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 10.0%. At March 31, 2010, the Bank had a Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.06% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 21.99%.
The Company paid a cash dividend of $0.07 per share during the first quarter of 2010. On May 3, 2010, the Company’s board of directors announced that it had declared a $0.07 per share dividend payable on June 1, 2010, to shareholders of record on May 14, 2010.
From time to time, the Company has repurchased shares of its common stock. Such repurchases have had the effect of reducing the Company’s capital and increasing its borrowings as a percent of total funding sources; further repurchases will continue to have the same effect. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company repurchased 690,800 shares of Company common stock at an average price of $6.55 per share, which completed the purchases authorized under its latest repurchase program. As of the date of this report, the Company’s board of directors has not authorized a new stock repurchase program.
The payment of dividends or the repurchase of common stock by the Company is highly dependent on the ability of the Company’s bank subsidiary to pay dividends or otherwise distribute capital to the Company. While the capital of the Company’s bank subsidiary remains strong, regulators and lawmakers have increased their focus in recent periods on the capital levels of regulated financial institutions. This increased focus may, through change s in regulatory requirements and/or new legislation, affect required capital levels and/or the percentage of income that such institutions may use for dividends, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to maintain its dividend and/or repurchase shares of its stock in future periods. Refer to Part I, Item 1, “Business-Regulation and Supervision,” of the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion.

The Company’s operating lease obligations represent short- and long-term lease and rental payments for facilities, certain software and data processing equipment, and other equipment. Purchase obligations represent obligations under agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on the Company and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. The purchase obligation amounts presented above primarily relate to certain contractual payments for services provided for information technology.
The Company also has obligations under its deferred retirement plan for executives and directors as described in Note 10, “Employee Benefit Plans,” to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, above.
Commitments to Extend CreditThe following table details the amounts and expected maturities of approved commitments as of March 31, 2010.

Approved commitments to extend credit, including loan commitments, standby letters of credit, unused lines of credit, and commercial letters of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements, since these commitments often expire without being drawn upon.
40
Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsAt March 31, 2010, the Company had forward commitments to sell one- to four-family mortgage loans of $31.0 million to Fannie Mae. As described in Note 13, “Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk,” to the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company uses forward commitments to sell loans to mitigate interest rate risk on one- to four-family IRLCs and loans held-for-sale.
Contingent LiabilitiesThe Company did not have a material exposure to contingent liabilities as of March 31, 2010.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Gap Analysis
Repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive” and by monitoring a financial institution’s interest rate sensitivity “gap.” An asset or liability is said to be “interest rate sensitive” within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity “gap” is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period.
A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a specific time period exceeds the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within the same period. During a period of rising interest rates, a financial institution with a negative gap position would be expected, absent the effects of other factors, to experience a greater increase in the costs of its liabilities relative to the yields of its assets and thus a decrease in the institution’s net interest income. An institution with a positive gap position would be expected, absent the effect of other factors, to experience the opposite result. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to reduce net interest income.
The following table presents the amounts of the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at March 31, 2010, which management anticipates will reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. The information presented in the following table is based on the following assumptions:
| • | | Investment securities—based upon contractual maturities and if applicable, call dates. $635.3 million in investment securities with maturities beyond one year have been classified as due within one year based on their call dates. These investments may or may not be called prior to their stated maturities. $210.3 million in investment securities with call dates within one year have been classified as due beyond one year according to their stated maturities. These investments may be called prior to their stated maturities. |
|
| • | | Mortgage-related securities—based upon known repricing dates (if applicable) and an independent outside source for determining estimated repayment speeds. Actual cash flows may differ from these assumptions. |
|
| • | | Loans receivable—based upon contractual maturities, repricing dates (if applicable), scheduled repayments of principal, and projected prepayments of principal based upon the Company’s historical experience or anticipated prepayments. Actual cash flows may differ from these assumptions. |
|
| • | | Deposit liabilities—based upon contractual maturities and historical decay rates. Actual cash flows may differ from these assumptions. |
|
| • | | Borrowings—based upon stated maturity. However, $856.0 million of borrowings classified as due beyond one year contain a redemption option which has not been reflected in the analysis. These borrowings could be redeemed at the option of the lender prior to their stated maturity (refer to “Financial Condition—Borrowings” in Part I, Item 2, above). |

| | | | | | |
Based on the above gap analysis, at March 31, 2010, the Company’s interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year exceeded its interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within the same period by $553.7 million. This represented a positive cumulative one-year interest rate sensitivity gap of 16.1%, and a ratio of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year to interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year of 142.0%. Based on this information, management anticipates that over the course of the next year the Company’s net interest income could benefit from an increase in market interest rates. Alternatively, the Company’s net interest income could be adversely
43
affected by a decline in market interest rates. However, it should be noted that the Company’s future net interest income is affected by more than just future market interest rates. Net interest income is also affected by absolute and relative levels of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the level of non-performing loans and other investments, and by other factors outlined in Part I, Item 2, “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Cautionary Statement,” above, as well as Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In addition to not anticipating all of the factors that could impact future net interest income, gap analysis has certain shortcomings. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features which limit changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the loan. If interest rates change, prepayment, and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of borrowers to make payments on their adjustable-rate loans may decrease if interest rates increase.
Present Value of Equity
In addition to the gap analysis table, management also uses simulation models to monitor interest rate risk. The models report the present value of equity (“PVE”) in different interest rate environments, assuming an instantaneous and permanent interest rate shock to all interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. The PVE is the difference between the present value of expected cash flows of interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. The changes in market value of assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates reflect the interest rate sensitivity of those assets and liabilities as their values are derived from the characteristics of the asset or liability (i.e., fixed rate, adjustable rate, caps, and floors) relative to the current interest rate environment. For example, in a rising interest rate environment, the fair market value of a fixed rate asset will decline whereas the fair market value of an adjustable rate asset, depending on its repricing characteristics, may not decline. Increases in the market value of assets will increase the PVE whereas decreases in market value of assets will decrease the PVE. Conversely, increases in the market value of liabilities will decrease the PVE whereas decreases in the market value of liabilities will increase the PVE.
The following table presents the estimated PVE over a range of interest rate change scenarios at March 31, 2010. The present value ratio shown in the table is the PVE as a percent of the present value of total assets in each of the different rate environments. For purposes of this table, management has made assumptions such as prepayment rates and decay rates similar to those used for the gap analysis table.

-100 | | | 466,377 | | | | (15,617 | ) | | | (3.2 | ) | | | 12.94 | | | | (4.9 | ) |
Based on the above analysis, management anticipates that the Company’s PVE may be adversely affected by an increase in interest rates. The decline in the PVE as a result of an increase in rates is attributable to the combined effects of a decline in the present value of the Company’s earning assets (which is further impacted by an extension in duration in rising rate environments due to slower loan prepayments and
44
reduced likelihood of security calls), partially offset by a decline in the present value of FHLB advances. However, at higher interest rate scenarios (i.e., +300), management has assumed the Company’s FHLB advances will be redeemed, which reduces the positive impact of this offset in higher interest rate scenarios. Based on the above analysis, management anticipates that the Company’s PVE may also be adversely impacted by a decrease in interest rates. This decline is due to shorter earning asset durations in lower interest rate scenarios which reduces the positive impact decreases in interest rates normally have on the present value of earning assets. It should be noted that the Company’s PVE is impacted by more than changes in market interest rates. Future PVE is also affected by management’s decisions relating to reinvestment of future cash flows, decisions relating to funding sources, and by other factors outlined in Part I, Item 2, “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Cautionary Statement,” above, as well as Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As is the case with gap analysis, PVE analysis also has certain shortcomings. PVE modeling requires management to make assumptions about future changes in market interest rates that are unlikely to occur, such as parallel or equal changes in all market rates across all maturity terms. PVE modeling also requires that management make assumptions which may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. For example, management makes assumptions regarding the acceleration rate of the prepayment speeds of higher yielding mortgage loans. Prepayments will accelerate in a falling rate environment and the reverse will occur in a rising rate environment. Management also assumes that decay rates on core deposits will accelerate in a rising rate environment and the reverse in a falling rate environment. The model assumes that the Company will take no action in response to the changes in interest rates, when in practice rate changes on certain products, such as savings deposits, may lag behind market changes. In addition, prepayment estimates and other assumptions within the model are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties, and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Accordingly, although the PVE model may provide an estimate of the Company’s interest rate risk at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company’s PVE.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
