NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company’s subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the allowance for loan losses and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2 — Reclassifications
Certain items in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the March 31, 2007 presentation.

The amortized cost and fair values of investment securities by contractual maturity at March 31, 2007, 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.

The unrealized losses reported for mortgage backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and government sponsored entity bonds relate exclusively to debt securities issued by government sponsored entities such as the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. There are three, eighteen and seven individual securities at March 31, 2007 that comprise the mortgage backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and government sponsored entity bonds, respectively, which have been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer. The unrealized loss for twelve months or longer reported for municipal securities relates to one municipal security. The loss results from increased interest rates since the date of issuance of the security. Because the decline in fair value of all aforementioned securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit deterioration, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.
Securities Held-to-Maturity
As of March 31, 2007, the Company held three securities that have been designated as held-to-maturity. The securities have a total amortized cost of $7.6 million which is also equal to their estimated fair value. Each security is callable quarterly beginning in the first quarter of 2009 with a final maturity in 2019.

unencumbered one- to four-family mortgage loans. In addition, these advances are collateralized by FHLB stock of $17.2 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. In the event of prepayment, the Company is obligated to pay all remaining contractual interest on the advance.
Note 7 — Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation Plan
In 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company granted 782,500 stock options in tandem with stock appreciation rights and 251,500 shares of restricted stock. The restricted shares were issued from previously unissued shares. All stock awards granted under these plans vest over a period of five years and are required to be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise price for all stock options granted is equal to the quoted NASDAQ market close price on the date that the awards were granted and expire ten years after the grant date, if not exercised.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Plan
The fair value of stock options granted is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes pricing model. The fair value of restricted shares is equal to the quoted NASDAQ market close price on the date of grant. The fair value of stock grants is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the grants. Compensation expense is included in compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income.
Assumptions are used in estimating the fair value of stock options granted. The weighted average expected life of the stock options represent the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding and is based on the SEC simplified approach to calculating expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility for a group of selected peers. The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of options granted in the three month period ended March 31, 2007.
Dividend Yield | 1.32 | % | ||
Risk-free interest rate | 4.44 | % | ||
Expected volatility | 31.86 | % | ||
Weighted average expected life | 6.5 years | |||
Weighted average per share value of options | $ | 6.27 |
In accordance with Statement on Financial Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, the Company is required to estimate potential forfeitures of stock grants and adjust compensation expense recorded accordingly. The estimate of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized in the period of change and will also impact the amount of stock compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.
A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2007, is presented below.

In connection with its mortgage banking activities, the Company enters into forward loan sale commitments. Forward commitments to sell mortgage loans represent commitments obtained by the Company from a secondary market agency to purchase mortgages from the Company at specified interest rates and within specified periods of time. Commitments to sell loans are made to mitigate interest rate risk on commitments to originate loans and loans held for sale. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had $7.7 million in forward loan sale commitments. A forward sale commitment is a derivative instrument under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (“SFAS No. 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (as amended), which must be recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet in other assets and other liabilities with changes in its value recorded in income from mortgage banking operations. In determining the fair value of its derivative loan commitments for economic purposes, the Company considers the value that would be generated when the loan arising from exercise of the loan commitment is sold in the secondary mortgage market. That value includes the price that the loan is expected to be sold for in the secondary mortgage market.

Note 8 — Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of all potential common shares. At March 31, 2007, nonvested restricted stock is considered outstanding for dilutive earnings per share only. Nonvested stock options at March 31, 2007 are antidilutive and are excluded from the earnings per share calculation.

Note 9 — Recent Accounting Developments
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. As a result of the adoption, there were no adjustments to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. Total unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 totaled $4.9 million all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. This unrecognized benefit is primarily Wisconsin tax and interest accrued on a portion of the income generated by the Company’s subsidiary located in the state of Nevada for the period July 1, 2002 through December 31, 2006. A state of Wisconsin closing agreement regarding this matter was executed on March 30, 2007. The Wisconsin settlement resulted in a reduction of unrecognized tax benefits of $4.1 million at March 31, 2007. Under the terms of the closing agreement, the Company paid $1.2 million on the settlement date with the remaining $3.7 million to be paid over the next three years. Accordingly, the Company has $70,000 in unrecognized tax benefits remaining at March 31, 2007. It is Company policy to recognize interest and penalties as income tax expense. As of January 1, 2007, $811,000 in interest has been accrued.
The IRS completed its examination of the Company’s consolidated federal income tax returns for 2003 and 2004. As such, only 2005 and 2006 remain as open years for federal purposes. The Company’s Wisconsin tax returns are open to further audit for the years ended December 31, 1998 through 2006.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157,Fair Value Measurements, which upon adoption will replace various definitions of fair value in existing accounting literature with a single definition, will establish a framework for measuring fair value, and will require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the most advantageous market available to the entity and emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and should be based on the assumptions market participants would use. The statement also creates a three-level hierarchy under which individual fair value estimates are to be ranked based on the relative reliability of the inputs used in the valuation. This hierarchy is the basis for the disclosure requirements, with fair value estimates based on the least reliable inputs requiring more extensive disclosures about the valuation method used and the gains and losses associated with those estimates. SFAS 157 is required to be applied whenever another financial accounting standard requires or permits an asset or liability to be measured at fair value. The statement does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. The Company will be required to apply the new guidance beginning January 1, 2008, and is in the process of assessing the impact on its results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115(“SFAS 159”).
-17-
Table of Contents
SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items generally on an instrument-by-instrument basis at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is intended to provide entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 does not change requirements for recognizing and measuring dividend income, interest income, or interest expense. The Company will be required to apply the new guidance beginning January 1, 2008, and is in the process of assessing the impact on its results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.

Overview
Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on loans receivable, investment securities and cash and cash equivalents and the interest we pay on deposits and other borrowings. The Company’s banking subsidiary, Wauwatosa Savings Bank (“Wauwatosa Savings”), is a lender with mortgage loans comprising 94.6% of total loans receivable on March 31, 2007. Further, 79.0% of loans receivable are residential mortgage loans with over four-family loans comprising 34.9% of all residential mortgage loans on March 31, 2007. Wauwatosa Savings funds loan production primarily with retail deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. On March 31, 2007, deposits comprised 72.3% of total liabilities. Time deposits, also known as certificates of deposit, account for 84.2% of total deposits. Wauwatosa Savings uses the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago as a significant source of funding. Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding on March 31, 2007 totaled $339.0 million, or 24.0% of total liabilities.
Our results of operations also are affected by our provision for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income currently consists primarily of service charges and mortgage banking income. Noninterest expense currently consists primarily of compensation and employee benefits and occupancy expenses. Our results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
The following discussion and analysis is presented to assist in the understanding and evaluation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. It is intended to complement the unaudited consolidated financial statements, footnotes, and supplemental financial data appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction therewith. The detailed discussion focuses on the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the financial condition as of March 31, 2007 compared to the financial condition as of December 31, 2006.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assumptions by management and that have, or could have, a material impact on our income or the carrying value of our assets.
Allowance for Loan Losses.Wauwatosa Savings establishes valuation allowances on loans considered impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Wauwatosa Savings will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A valuation allowance is established for an amount equal to the impairment when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the net realizable value of the underlying collateral.
Wauwatosa Savings also establishes valuation allowances based on an evaluation of the various risk components that are inherent in the credit portfolio. The risk components that are evaluated include past loan loss experience; the level of nonperforming and classified assets; current economic conditions; volume, growth, and composition of the loan portfolio; adverse situations
-19-
Table of Contents
that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay; the estimated value of any underlying collateral; regulatory guidance; and other relevant factors. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to earnings and recoveries of previously charged-off loans and reduced by charge-offs. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed and approved at least quarterly by the Wauwatosa Savings board of directors. The allowance reflects management’s best estimate of the amount needed to provide for the probable loss on impaired loans and other inherent losses in the loan portfolio, and is based on a risk model developed and implemented by management and approved by the Wauwatosa Savings board of directors.
Actual results could differ from this estimate and future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on unforeseen changes in loan quality and economic conditions. In addition, federal regulators periodically review the Wauwatosa Savings allowance for loan losses. Such regulators have the authority to require Wauwatosa Savings to recognize additions to the allowance at the time of their examination.
Income Taxes.We recognize income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
If our estimated current and deferred tax assets, liabilities or any related estimated valuation allowance are too high or too low, it will affect our future net income in the period that the new information resulting in a better estimate of income tax assets and liabilities becomes available.
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company settled a dispute with the state of Wisconsin regarding the operations of the Company’s investment subsidiary located in the state of Nevada. The settlement covered the Nevada operations through the March 30, 2007 settlement date. The settlement had no material effect on net income for the period as the full liability of $4.9 million, net of deferred Federal tax benefit of $1.7 million, was accrued in prior periods. However, the settlement had the effect of reducing the estimated effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2007 to 34.6% from 36.9% during the year ended December 31, 2006 as statutory interest no longer accrues to the liability.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
General — Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 totaled $2.1 million, or $0.06 for both basic and diluted earnings per share compared to net income of $2.7 million, or $0.08 for both basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Year-to-date 2007 results generated an annualized return on average assets of 0.51% and an annualized return on average equity of 3.56%, compared to 0.71% and 4.64%, respectively, for
-20-
Table of Contents
the comparable period in 2006. The decrease in net income was a result of a $1.3 million decrease in net interest income, which partially offset by an increase in non interest income. The net interest margin for the first three months of 2007 was 2.27% compared to 2.77% for the first three months of 2006. Our return on assets continues to be adversely affected by the inverted yield curve.
Total Interest Income — Total interest income increased $1.7 million, or 7.9%, to $23.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Interest income on loans increased $1.1 million, or 5.5%, to $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $20.2 million for the comparable period of 2006. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average loan balance of $59.1 million, or 4.5%, to $1.4 billion during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 from $1.3 billion during the comparable period in 2006. The increase in volume was compounded by a 7 basis point increase in the average yield on loans to 6.25% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 from 6.18% for the comparable period in 2006. Most of the remaining increase in total interest income reflected interest income from debt securities, federal funds sold and short-term investments which increased $400,000, or 68.0%, to $988,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $588,000 for the comparable period in 2006. This was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of other earning assets of $30.6 million, or 53.8%, to $87.4 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 from $56.8 million during the comparable period in 2006. The increase in volume was compounded by a 39 basis point increase in the average yield on other earning assets to 4.59% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 from 4.20% for the comparable period in 2006.
Total Interest Expense —Total interest expense increased by $3.0 million, or 25.5%, to $14.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $11.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase was the result of an increase in both the rate paid on deposits and borrowings and an increase in average borrowings outstanding.
Interest expense on deposits increased $1.7 million, or 18.1%, to $11.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $9.3 million during the comparable period in 2006 as a result of an increase in the cost of deposits, which was partially offset by a decrease in average deposits outstanding. The cost of total average deposits increased by 75 basis points to 4.36% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to 3.61% for the comparable period during 2006. As both market interest rates (in particular short-term interest rates) and deposit rates offered by competitors remained at levels higher than those of previous periods, it was necessary to continue offering the higher interest rates required to attract and retain deposits, thereby increasing our cost of deposits.
Interest expense on borrowings increased $1.3 million, or 53.7%, to $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $2.5 million during the comparable period in 2006. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in average borrowings outstanding of $121.0 million, or 53.8%, to $346.0 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 from $225.0 million during the comparable period in 2006. The increase in volume was compounded by a 8 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowings to 4.33% during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 from 4.25% during the comparable period in 2006.
-21-
Table of Contents
Net Interest Income — Net interest income decreased by $1.3 million or 12.9%, during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease resulted primarily from a 54 basis point decrease in our net interest rate spread to 1.74% for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 from 2.28% for the comparable period in 2006. The 54 basis point decrease in the net interest rate spread resulted from a 61 basis point increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities, which was partially offset by a 7 basis point increase in the yield on interest earning assets. Consistent with industry trends, the Company has experienced net interest margin compression as the yield curve remains flat. In addition to the flat yield curve, net interest margin has been compressed as the repricing of interest bearing liabilities has outpaced that of interest earning assets. The decrease in net interest income resulting from a decrease in our net interest rate spread was compounded by a decrease in net average earning assets of $4.6 million, or 2.4%, to $187.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 from $192.0 million from the comparable period in 2006.
Provision for Loan Losses — Provision for loan losses increased $43,000, or 14.1%, to $350,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $307,000 during the comparable period during 2006. The higher provision for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was the result of growth of the overall loan portfolio, a continued increase in classified assets and specific loss provisions identified and recognized during the period.
Noninterest Income — Total noninterest income increased $418,000, or 35.0%, to $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $1.2 million during the comparable period in 2006. The increase resulted primarily from increased mortgage banking income generated by Waterstone and an increase in other noninterest income. Mortgage banking income increased $229,000, or 67.6% to $568,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $339,000 during the comparable period in 2006. The quarter ended March 31, 2007 includes a full three months of mortgage banking income, while the comparable period of 2006 only includes mortgage banking income from the February 9, 2006 acquisition of Waterstone through March 31, 2006. The increase in other noninterest income results primarily from a $64,000 gain on sale of property and equipment and an increase in rental income.
Noninterest Expense — Total noninterest expense increased $160,000, or 2.4%, to $6.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $6.7 million during the comparable period in 2006. The increase was primarily the result of increases in compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits and occupancy, office furniture and equipment expense, partially offset by a decrease in data processing expense.
Compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefit expense increased $137,000, or 3.5%, to $4.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $3.9 million during the comparable period in 2006. This increase primarily resulted from the initiation of stock compensation plans in January of 2007. Expense related to the Company’s stock option and restricted stock plans totaled $448,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Compensation expense related to the ESOP Plan totaled $336,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $236,000 during the comparable period of 2006. The increase in ESOP Plan expense resulted from an increase in the average market price of the Company’s

common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the salary expense. Salary expense decreased by $437,000, or 14.1% to $2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $3.1 million during the comparable period in 2006. The Wauwatosa Savings salary expense decreased by $639,000, primarily as a result of a 20% decrease in the overall level of full-time equivalent staff members and a shift from cash to stock-based compensation. Salary expense related to Waterstone totaled $437,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $236,000 from the date of acquisition to March 31, 2006.
Occupancy, office furniture and equipment increased by $262,000, or 27.2%, to $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $1.0 million during the comparable period in 2006. The increase relates primarily to new branch offices located in Franklin, Germantown and West Allis, Wisconsin that opened in August 2006, November 2006 and March 2007, respectively.
Data processing expense decreased $136,000, or 36.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $239,000 from $375,000 during the comparable period in 2006 due to a reduction in consulting costs. Other noninterest expense decreased $238,000, or 28.6%, to $594,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $832,000 during the comparable quarter in 2006. The decrease is the result of the amortization of Waterstone Mortgage Corporation intangibles in 2006 with no comparable expense in 2007 and a 47% reduction in employee related business expenses.
Income Taxes — The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was 34.6% as compared to 36.9% for the comparable period during 2006. On March 30, 2007, the Company settled its dispute with the state of Wisconsin regarding its investment subsidiary located in the state of Nevada. The settlement covered the Nevada operations through the March 30, 2007 settlement date. The settlement had no material effect on net income for the period as the full liability of $4.9 million, net of deferred Federal tax benefit of $1.7 million, was accrued in prior periods. However, the settlement had the effect of reducing the estimated effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2007 as statutory interest no longer accrues to the liability.
Net Income —As a result of the foregoing factors, net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased $607,000, or 22.4%, to $2.1 million, from $2.7 million during the comparable period in 2006.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006
Total Assets — Total assets decreased by $1.0 million, or 0.1%, to $1.65 billion at March 31, 2007. The decrease in total assets resulted primarily from decreases in cash and cash equivalents, which were used to fund the Company’s share repurchase program.
Cash and Cash Equivalents —Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $15.5 million, or 21.0%, to $58.3 million at March 31, 2007 from $73.8 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease was a direct result of the use of funds to repurchase the Company’s common shares on the open market.

Securities Held to Maturity — Three structured corporate notes valued at $7.6 million were added to the investment portfolio in the first quarter of 2007. The terms of these high yield securities result in a high potential for market value volatility. As a result, they have been classified as held-to-maturity rather than as available-for-sale.
Loans Held for Sale —Loans held for sale increased by $2.3 million, or 42.7%, to $7.7 million at March 31, 2007, compared to $5.4 million at December 31, 2006.
Loans Receivable — Loans receivable increased $4.1 million, or 0.3%, to $1.38 billion at March 31, 2007 from $1.37 billion at December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of an increase in residential mortgage loans. The total increase in loans receivable was primarily attributable to a $4.3 million increase in commercial real estate and a $3.5 million increase in construction and land loans. These increases were partially offset by a $3.1 million decrease in over four family loans and a $3.0 million decrease in consumer loans.
The following table shows loan origination, purchasing and principal repayment activity during the periods indicated.

deposits decreased $14.0 million, or 28.2%, from $49.8 million at December 31, 2006 to $35.8 million at March 31, 2007. Partially offsetting the decrease in time deposits, total money market and savings deposits increased $12.9 million, or 13.7%, to $107.4 million at March 31, 2007 from $94.5 million at December 31, 2006. The development and promotion of competitive retail and business money market accounts resulted in the significant increase in money market account balances during the period ended March 31, 2007. The increase in money market account balances included amounts transferred from existing demand accounts.
Borrowings — Total borrowings increased $29.0 million, or 8.7%, to $363.0 million at March 31, 2007 from $334.0 million at December 31, 2006. During the current quarter, the Company entered into two repurchase agreements totaling $24.0 million. The agreements have a weighted average interest rate of 4.21% and mature in 2017. Both agreements are callable beginning in March of 2009 and quarterly thereafter.
Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes — Advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance increased $8.3 million to $8.5 million at March 31, 2007 from $190,000 at December 31, 2006. The increase was the result of payments received from borrowers for their real estate taxes and is seasonally normal, as balances increase during the course of the calendar year until real estate tax obligations are paid out, primarily in December.
Other Liabilities — Other liabilities decreased $13.8 million, or 37.6%, to $22.9 million at March 31, 2007 from $36.8 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease, which is seasonally normal, was primarily due to a decrease in outstanding checks related to advance payments by borrowers for taxes. The Company receives payments from borrowers for their real estate taxes during the course of the calendar year until real estate tax obligations are paid out, primarily in December. The outstanding checks remain classified as another liability until paid. The balance of these outstanding checks was $460,000 at March 31, 2007 and $18.1 million at December 31, 2006.
Shareholders’ Equity — Shareholders’ equity decreased $11.1 million, or 4.6%, to $230.2 million at March 31, 2007 from $241.3 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease was primarily attributable to the repurchase of 826,801 shares at a cost of $14.5 million. This decrease was partially offset by net income recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2007, which totaled $2.0 million.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss is the estimated unrealized loss attributable to the decline in market value of investment securities attributable solely to increases in interest rates since the date of purchase.

Total non-performing loans increased by $13.2 million, or 45.7%, to $42.1 million as of March 31, 2007, compared to $28.9 million as of December 31, 2006. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans at March 31, 2007 was 3.06% compared to 2.10% at December 31, 2006. All categories of loans experienced an increase in non-performing loans. Of the $13.2 million increase in non-performing loans between December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007, $5.2 million related to loans secured by one- to four-family loans. This increase is attributable to one borrower with five loans with a total balance of $3.4 million and a second borrower with a loan totaling $1.6 million which is collateralized by a single family home. We believe that the collateral securing these loans is adequate to protect us from any potential significant losses. Of the $3.1 million increase in non-performing loans secured by over four family properties, $2.7 million was related to multi-family loan. This loan has estimated collateral shortfall of $40,000. A specific reserve has been established for this loan. Substantially all of the $2.1 million increase in non-performing loans secured by construction properties was related to three borrowers, each with two loans secured by homes built on a speculative basis. These six loans have an estimated collective collateral shortfall of $242,000. A specific reserve has been established for each of these loans. Substantially all of the $2.5 million increase in non performing loans secured by commercial real estate was attributable to one loan. We believe that the collateral securing these loans is adequate to protect us from any potential losses.

The allowance for loan losses has been determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We are 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 our 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 probable losses have been provided for in the allowance for loan losses.
The establishment of the amount of the loan loss allowance inherently involves judgments by management as to the adequacy of the allowance, which ultimately may or may not be correct. Higher rates of loan defaults than anticipated would likely result in a need to increase provisions in future years. Also, as over four-family loan portfolios increase, additional provisions would likely be added to the loan loss allowances as they carry a higher risk of loss. The dollar amount of the typical over four-family loan tends to be larger than our average single family loan and, therefore, any loss that we experience on these loans could be larger than what we have historically experienced on our single-family loans. See “Significant Accounting Policies” above for a discussion on the use of judgment in determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than do the effects of inflation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We maintain liquid assets at levels we consider adequate to meet our liquidity needs. Our liquidity ratio averaged 3.3% and 1.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively. The liquidity ratio is equal to average daily cash and cash equivalents for the period divided by average total assets. We adjust our liquidity levels to fund loan commitments, repay our borrowings, fund deposit outflows and pay real estate taxes on mortgage loans. We also adjust liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives. The operational adequacy of our liquidity position at any point in time is dependent upon the judgment of the Chief Financial Officer as supported by the full Asset/Liability Committee. Liquidity is monitored on a daily, weekly and monthly basis using a variety of measurement tools and indicators.
Regulatory liquidity, as required by the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, is based on current liquid assets as a percentage of the prior month’s average deposits and short-term borrowings. Minimum primary liquidity is equal to 4.0% of deposits and short-term borrowings and minimum total regulatory liquidity is equal to 8.0% of deposits and short-term borrowings. Wauwatosa Savings’ primary and total regulatory liquidity at March 31, 2007 was 7.0% and 11.9%, respectively.
Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our competitors. We set the interest rates on our deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term, interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. Additional sources of liquidity used for the purpose of managing long- and short-term cash flows include $60 million in federal funds lines of credit with four commercial banks and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.
A portion of our liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, which are a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, $58.5 million and $73.8 million of our assets were invested in cash and cash equivalents. Our primary sources of cash are principal repayments on loans, proceeds from the calls and maturities of debt

Table of Contents
and mortgage-related securities, increases in deposit accounts, federal funds purchased and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.
Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, loan originations, net of collected principal, totaled $5.0 million and $39.9 million, respectively, reflecting net growth in our portfolio. Growth has declined in 2007 with the rise in short-term interest rates and the decline in residential real estate transactions.
Deposit flows are generally affected by the level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by local competitors, and other factors. Deposits decreased by $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 primarily as the result of competitive pricing offered in the local market and reductions in the use of non-local, wholesale deposit funding.
Liquidity management is both a daily and longer-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, which provide an additional source of funds. At March 31, 2007, we had $339.0 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, of which $52.0 million was due within 12 months, and an additional available borrowing limit of $159.7 million based on collateral requirements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. As an additional source of funds, we also enter into repurchase agreements. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company entered into two repurchase agreements totaling $24.0 million. The agreements mature in 2017, however, both are callable beginning in 2009 and quarterly thereafter.
At March 31, 2007, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $23.3 million, unfunded commitments under construction loans of $33.6 million and unfunded commitments under lines of credit and standby letters of credit of $33.3 million. At March 31, 2007, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $716.7 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In the event a significant portion of our deposits is not retained by us, we will have to utilize other funding sources, such as Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago advances in order to maintain our level of assets. However, we cannot assure that such borrowings would be available on attractive terms, or at all, if and when needed. Alternatively, we would reduce our level of liquid assets, such as our cash and cash equivalents and securities available-for-sale in order to meet funding needs. In addition, the cost of such deposits may be significantly higher if market interest rates are higher or there is an increased amount of competition for deposits in our market area at the time of renewal.
Regulatory Capital
The Company and Wauwatosa Savings are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
-31-
Table of Contents
initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’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 regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, that as of March 31, 2007, the Company met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of March 31, 2007 the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized Wauwatosa Savings as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” Wauwatosa Savings must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios, as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed Wauwatosa Savings’ category.
As a state-chartered savings bank, Wauwatosa Savings is required to meet minimum capital levels established by the state of Wisconsin in addition to federal requirements. For the state of Wisconsin, regulatory capital consists of retained income, paid-in-capital, capital stock equity and other forms of capital considered to be qualifying capital by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The actual capital amounts and ratios for the Company and Wauwatosa Savings as of Mach 31, 2007 are presented in the table below:

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Management of Market Risk
General.The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and other borrowings. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, the Wauwatosa Savings Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Committee which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. Management monitors the level of interest rate risk on a regular basis and the Asset/Liability Committee meets at least weekly to review our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position, which are evaluated quarterly.
Income Simulation.Simulation analysis is used to estimate our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. At least quarterly we review the potential effect changes in interest rates could have on the repayment or repricing of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities. Our most recent simulation used projected repricing of assets and liabilities at March 31, 2007 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate adjustments. Prepayment rate assumptions can have a significant impact on interest income simulation results. Because of the large percentage of loans and mortgage-backed securities we hold, rising or falling interest rates may have a significant impact on the actual prepayment speeds of our mortgage-related assets that may in turn affect our interest rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayment speeds slow and the expected average lives of our assets tend to lengthen more than the expected average lives of our liabilities and, therefore, likely result in an increase in our liability sensitive position.

changes measured over a 24-month period when compared to the flat rate scenario. In addition, projected changes in the capital ratio are limited to (.15%) to (1.00%) for various levels of changes in interest rates when compared to the flat rate scenario. These limits are re-evaluated on a periodic basis and may be modified, as appropriate. Because our balance sheet is liability sensitive, income is projected to decrease proportionately with increases in interest rates. At March 31, 2007, a 300 basis point immediate and instantaneous increase in interest rates had the effect of reducing forecasted net interest income by 13.55%, while a 100 basis point decrease in rates had the affect of increasing net interest income by 4.49%. At March 31, 2007, a 300 basis point immediate and instantaneous increase in interest rates had the effect of reducing the forecasted return on assets by 0.20%, while a 100 basis point decrease in rates had the effect of increasing the return on assets by 0.07%. While we believe the assumptions used are reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate actual future mortgage-backed security and loan repayment activity.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures:Company 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.
