ANCHOR BANCORP ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Lacey, WA (May 2, 2011) – Anchor Bancorp (NASDAQ:GS – ANCB) (“Company”), the holding company for Anchor Bank (“Bank”), today announced results for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company reported a net loss of $3.4 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $326,000 for the same period a year ago. Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $4.1 million compared to net income of $1.5 million for the comparable period in 2010. The Company completed its initial public offering on January 25, 2011 with the issuance of 2,550,000 shares of its common stock which generated net proceeds of $23.2 million. Therefore, operating results before that date pertain to the Bank only.
Jerald L. Shaw, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Results for the quarter and year to date were disappointing, primarily because of problems with one large credit relationship together with groups of smaller loans, which reflects continuing challenges in the economy in our market areas and the downward pressures on home sales and prices. As a result, we continue to anticipate that we will be working through our non-performing assets and that loan production will remain below historical levels until economic conditions stabilize. There are, however, some positive signs in the local and regional economies, which lead us to be optimistic about the future."
Results of operations
Net interest income. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses remained relatively unchanged at $4.5 million, compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, increased $234,000 or 1.8% to $13.5 million, from $13.3 million from the prior year.
The Company’s net interest margin increased 54 basis points to 3.87% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, from 3.33% for the comparable quarter ended March 31, 2010. Net interest margin increased due to net interest income remaining relatively unchanged between quarters, the Company’s cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined to 1.65% in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to 2.71% in the comparable quarter in 2010. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the Company’s net interest margin was 3.77% compared to 4.30% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
Provision for loan losses. A provision for loan losses of $3.6 million was recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $666,000 for the same period of the prior year. The provision recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was primarily a result of the continued weakness in employment within Anchor’s primary market areas affecting the single family, home equity and consumer loan portfolios. During the quarter, $6.2 million of loans specifically allowed for in the prior quarter were charged off as confirmed losses against the allowance for loan losses. Included in the $6.2 million is one large credit relationship for $4.2 million that, as previously disclosed, was classified as Substandard at December 31, 2010 and that experienced further deterioration during the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
Noninterest income. Noninterest income decreased $288,000, or 19.0%, to $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to $1.5 million for the same quarter a year ago. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in deposit service fees of $129,000 due to the closures of two in-store Wal-Mart branches, a decrease in ATM fee income and an $81,000 decrease in the amount of gain on the sale of loans as a result of a lower volume of loans originated that are typically sold into the secondary market. Noninterest income for the nine months ended

March 31, 2011, decreased $771,000, or 14.8%, to $4.4 million compared to $5.2 million for the same period of the prior year.
Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, decreased $238,000, or 4.2%, to $5.5 million from $5.7 million for the comparable period a year earlier. The decrease in noninterest expense for the quarter was due to the branch closures, a decrease in compensation expense of $140,000, a decrease in general and administrative expense of $115,000 and a decrease in deposit services expense of $60,000. The decreases in noninterest expense for the quarter were offset by an increase in real estate owned impairment of $148,000. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, decreased $731,000 or 4.1% to $17.0 million from $17.7 million from the same period in 2010.
Balance Sheet
Total assets decreased $34.7 million, or 6.4%, to $510.1 million at March 31, 2011, from $544.8 million at June 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily attributable to the Company's limited growth in order to maximize regulatory capital ratios prior to the stock offering.
Cash and due from banks. Cash and due from banks increased $29.8 million, or 90.6% to $62.6 million at March 31, 2011 from $32.8 million at June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily related to the $23.2 million net proceeds the Company received upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering on January 25, 2011.
Securities. Securities available for sale decreased $9.8 million or 20.0% to $39.0 million at March 31, 2011 from $48.8 million at June 30, 2010. The decrease in this portfolio was primarily the result of sales and maturities of securities of $4.0 million and contractual repayments of $4.9 million. Securities held-to-maturity decreased $2.0 million or 19.8% due to contractual repayments.
Loans receivable, net. Loans receivable, net decreased $47.9 million or 12.3% to $341.5 million at March 31, 2011 from $389.4 million at June 30, 2010. The total construction loan portfolio decreased $18.1 million due to loan repayments and the transfer of construction loans to real estate owned. Our total commercial loan real estate portfolio decreased $10.0 million as a result of our continued focus to reduce this segment of our loan portfolio.
Non-performing assets decreased $1.6 million to $33.6 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $35.2 million at June 30, 2010. Total non-accrual loans decreased $9.7 million to $18.8 million at March 31, 2011 from $28.5 million at June 30, 2010. The following table provides information at March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 on non-performing assets by loan type and a total for non-performing loans, real estate owned, and total non-performing assets.

Deposits. Deposits decreased $13.3 million, or 3.7%, to $342.5 million at March 31, 2011 from $355.8 million at June 30, 2010. A significant portion of the decrease was in brokered certificates of deposit which decreased $21.7 million and a $6.3 million decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits. These decreases were offset by increases in our money market accounts of $8.1 million and retail certificates of deposit of $2.5 million.
Borrowings. FHLB advances decreased $38.5 million, or 28.1%, to $98.4 million at March 31, 2011 from $136.9 million at June 30, 2010. The decrease reflects our continued focus on reducing our reliance on outside borrowings and our emphasis on retail deposits.
Stockholders’ Equity. Total stockholders’ equity increased $17.4 million or 38.9% to $62.1 million at March 31, 2011 from $44.7 million at June 30, 2010. The increase was due to net proceeds of $23.2 million generated by the Company’s public offering, offset by a net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 of $4.1 million, the purchase of shares for the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) of $1.0 million and a decrease in other accumulated comprehensive income, net of tax of $643,000.
