PART I
General
We, Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. (the “Corporation” or the “Company”) are a registered savings and loan holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Wisconsin. We are engaged in the savings and loan business through our wholly owned banking subsidiary, AnchorBank, fsb (the “Bank”).
The Bank was organized in 1919 as a Wisconsin chartered savings institution and converted to a federally chartered savings institution in July 2000. AnchorBank, fsb is the third largest depository institution headquartered in the state of Wisconsin and its largest thrift in terms of assets. The Bank’s deposits are insured up to the maximum allowable amount by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Chicago, and is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) and the FDIC. The Corporation is regulated by the OTS as a savings and loan holding company and is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). See “Regulation and Supervision.”
Primarily through our branch network, we offer checking, savings, money market accounts, mortgages, home equity and other consumer loans, credit cards, annuities, investment products and related consumer financial services. The Bank also provides banking services to businesses, including checking accounts, lines of credit, secured loans and commercial real estate loans. AnchorBank’s branch network serves as the primary vehicle through which we cross sell additional products to existing customers and generate new customer relationships. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, more than 11,000 new customer households were added, with nearly 70 percent coming in via three key product “gateways”: checking accounts (DDAs), Certificates of Deposit and Residential Mortgages.
In addition to our branch network, we provide products and services online via our WebBranchtm online banking system and our Speede-Apptm online mortgage application tool. During the 2010 fiscal year we saw a substantial increase in mortgage applications come in through Speede-App, with online applications accounting for nearly 50 percent of mortgage applications.
The Corporation also has a non-banking subsidiary, Investment Directions, Inc. (“IDI”), a Wisconsin corporation which has historically invested in real estate partnerships. IDI had two subsidiaries, Nevada Investment Directions, Inc. (“NIDI”) and California Investment Directions, Inc. (“CIDI”), both of which invested in real estate held for development and sale. During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 IDI’s investment activities were substantially curtailed.
The Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: ADPC Corporation (“ADPC”), a Wisconsin corporation, holds and develops certain of the Bank’s foreclosed properties. Anchor Investment Corporation (“AIC”), an operating subsidiary that is located in and formed under the laws of the State of Nevada, manages a portion of the Bank’s investment portfolio (primarily mortgage related securities).
The Corporation maintains a web site atwww.anchorbank.com. All of the Corporation’s filings under the Exchange Act are available through that web site, free of charge, including copies of Annual Reports onForm 10-K, Quarterly Reports onForm 10-Q, Current Reports onForm 8-K and amendments to those reports, on the date that the Corporation files those materials with, or furnishes them to, the SEC.
Market Area
The Bank’s primary market area consists of south-central, east-central, southeastern and northwest Wisconsin, as well as contiguous counties in Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois. At March 31, 2010, the Bank conducted business from its headquarters and main office in Madison, Wisconsin, and from 70 other full-service offices and two loan origination offices which services our more than 165,000 households and businesses. During the fiscal year an agreement was reached, to sell 11 of the bank’s branches in the Northwest region of the state and, in May, 2010 to sell, four offices in the Green Bay area. Additionally, in May 2010 the Bank’s lending only office in Hudson, WI was
1
closed. One lending only office in Lake Geneva, WI remains, all other offices operate as full service branches. Both transactions were anticipated to be closed during fiscal 2010.
Following the sale of these branches, AnchorBank’s market area will be concentrated in the greaterMadison/Dane County, Suburban Milwaukee and Fox Valley areas. Together these areas account for nearly half of Wisconsin’s population and provide a strong platform for long term growth locally and regionally. Within its market footprint AnchorBank exhibits a strong retail franchise with the second highest market share of both deposits and mortgage origination in the Madison area and with the sixth largest deposit and mortgage origination share in the state overall.
Our home market of Madison provides a strong base in a highly attractive market. Madison is home to both state and county governments as well as the University of Wisconsin. Madison has enjoyed rapid population growth of 12.8 percent since 2000, a median household income 15 percent above the national average and relatively low unemployment at 5.7 percent (as of April 2010) versus the national average of 9.9 percent.
The Fox Valley, consisting primarily of the cities of Appleton and Oshkosh and their associated satellite communities is one of the state’s fastest growing areas and also benefits from significantly higher than median income levels at approximately $69,700, 27 percent higher than the national average. The bank operates 12 branches in the Fox Valley area.
In the Milwaukee area, AnchorBank operates eight branches, all located in suburban areas outside the City of Milwaukee. The largest city in Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Metropolitan area is home to more than 2 million people with a median income of $60,500 and more than 61,000 businesses.
Competition
The Bank encounters strong competition in attracting both loan and deposit customers. Such competition includes banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking companies, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies and brokerage and investment banking firms. The Bank’s market area includes branches of several commercial banks that are substantially larger in terms of loans and deposits. Furthermore, tax exempt credit unions operate in most of the Bank’s market area and aggressively price their products and services to a large portion of the market. The Corporation’s profitability depends upon the Bank’s continued ability to successfully maintain market share and mitigate credit losses.
Customer demand for real estate loans has decreased and the Bank’s income has been affected because alternative investments, such as securities, typically earn less income than real estate secured loans. Customer demand for loans secured by real estate has been reduced by a weak economy, an increase in unemployment and a decrease in real estate values.
The principal factors that are used to attract deposit accounts and that distinguish one financial institution from another include rates of return, quality of service to the depositors, types of accounts, service fees, convenience of office locations and hours, and other services. We offer a full array of deposit, savings and investment products to meet the needs of our consumer and business customers with features, high service levels, convenience and rates/fees structured to provide a competitive value proposition for our customers and prospective customers. In return, our customers have rewarded us with high levels of satisfaction and loyalty.
The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates, loan fee charges, and timeliness and quality of service to the borrower. Similar to the market for deposit and investment products, we focus on offering the best overall value to our loan customers. During the 2010 fiscal year we originated $1.20 billion in single family “conforming” loans. While single family “conforming” loans are subsequently sold to investors, a key competitive difference is that AnchorBank retains servicing on our residential mortgages, thereby ensuring a high level of continuing customer service. AnchorBank currently has a servicing portfolio of approximately $3.60 billion.
Overall 97 percent of our customers report they are satisfied with AnchorBank, with 14 percent of them indicating that their satisfaction has increased over the past year according to a survey conducted in the past fiscal year. The average tenure of their patronage to our bank is 12 years.

Key Business Strategies
To address the challenges of the current business environment in which we operate we have undertaken four key strategic initiatives to strengthen our operations, reduce risk and enhance the value of our franchise. These are:
1. Strengthening our management team
2. Increasing efficiency and improving core operations
3. Realigning our balance sheet
4. Enhancing our risk management and lending processes and aggressively addressing our classified loan portfolio
Strengthening our management team
We began a transformational process within our leadership ranks beginning with the appointment of Dave Omachinski as Lead Director of the Board in February 2009. This process accelerated significantly in June, 2009 when Mr. Omachinski was elected as Chairman of the Board, and with the appointment that same month of Chris Bauer as President and CEO of Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin and CEO of AnchorBank, fsb. Mr. Omachinski had served on the Board since 2002.
Previously, Mr.Omachinski served as President/Chief Operating Officer of Oshkosh B’Gosh Company. Following the sale of Oshkosh B’Gosh to Carter’s in 2005, Mr. Omachinski has had an active management consulting practice.
Mr. Bauer brings an extensive33-year background in the banking sector, having previously served as Chairman and CEO of Firstar Bank Milwaukee, and head of commercial banking for Firstar Corporation, a$37-billion financial services company based in Milwaukee, at the time of his retirement in 1999. In 2000, Bauer founded First Business Bank Milwaukee and served as its Chairman of the Board until 2003. Under Mr. Bauer’s leadership, First Business Bank Milwaukee grew to more than $70 million in assets in only three years. Bauer was also recently elected Chairman of the Board of the American Automobile Association.
In August, 2009, Martha M. Hayes was added to our executive management team as Chief Credit Risk Officer, a new role at AnchorBank. The Chief Credit Risk Officer function was born out of the Bank’s commitment to reinforce our commercial loan process to provide for stricter controls and monitoring. Previously, Ms. Hayes was with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services in Chicago, where she served as President and Managing Director. While there, she was recognized for leading the turnaround of a $250 million revenue line of business for the company. Prior to that role, she served in a variety of related capacities for Wachovia Corporation, including Senior Vice President and Director of Commercial Loan Products and Chief Operating Officer for Wachovia’s Risk Management Division, Business Credit Solutions. Ms. Hayes’ significant progress in this area was recognized by the Corporation’s Board with her promotion to Executive Vice President, Chief Risk Officer in June 2010.
Further enhancements in the Credit area were made in November, 2009 with the addition of Kurt Reindl as 1st Vice President — Credit Administration and Scott Ciano as 1st Vice President — Special Assets. Together Messrs. Reindl and Ciano bring more than 50 years of financial services, lending and workout experience to AnchorBank. Additionally in November, 2009, Ms. Patricia Carlin was added as 1st Vice President — Bank Operations in order to strengthen and gain efficiencies in our operations areas. Ms. Carlin brings 28 years of bank operations experience to AnchorBank.
Increasing efficiency and improving core operations
During fiscal 2010 we put substantial effort into improving our efficiency and operations. Historically, until our recent challenges with credit-related expenses, we have demonstrated sound operating efficiency levels. However, the dynamics of the current market mean we must focus on even more aggressive cost management and operational improvement efforts.
In March, 2009, Management undertook a comprehensive branch review which ultimately led to the decision to close three branches which had substantial geographic overlap with other branches. Branches closed were one
3
each in Madison, Neenah and Oshkosh. In May, 2009, we made the strategic decision to exit the indirect auto lending business, which analysis showed was only marginally profitable and deemed non-core to our business strategy.
Focusing on developing operating efficiencies and re-engineering business processes has allowed the Corporation to reduce its compensation and benefits expenses from $14 million for the quarter ending September 2009 to $12 million for the quarters ending December 2009 and March 2010. Additional cost savings were generated by an all encompassing strategic business review completed in May, 2010. An approximately 13 percent reduction in core operating expenses is anticipated from this process, which reviewed staffing levels, vendor relationships and business processes. If fully implemented as planned, these efforts will lower core operating expenses (core operating expenses exclude non-recurring expenses and expenses that are temporarily elevated due to current economic conditions).
Realigning Our Balance Sheet
A core strategy to address our capital needs has been to reduce the size of our balance sheet, reduce our funding costs and shift our loan concentration in favor of a more balanced portfolio. Sales of portions of our loan portfolio, including our indirect auto loan portfolio, substantial portions of our student loan portfolio and sales of certainone-to-four family mortgage loans previously held for investment have generated a $158.2 million reduction in our assets during the fiscal year. Further balance sheet contraction of $291 million is anticipated in early fiscal 2011 as part of planned sales of branches in the Northwest region of the state and the Green Bay area, as discussed above. Overall the size of our loan portfolio has decreased by $952 million from a height of $4.39 billion as of March 31, 2008 to $3.44 billion as of March 31, 2010. At the same time, access to the secondary market for residential mortgage loans has allowed us to remain very active in the residential mortgage and refinancing markets without adding assets to our balance sheet.
As of March 31, 2010, commercial real estate loans made up more than 24 percent of the Bank’s total loan portfolio and land and construction loans made up nearly 10 percent. Our target is that by 2013 these two segments of the portfolio will be reduced to 16 percent and 6 percent, respectively. We see opportunities to increase Commercial &Industrial, Consumer and Residential Mortgage lending as portions of the targeted loan mix.
On the funding side of the balance sheet, we have worked to both maintain our liquidity through selective deposit promotions as well as to begin the process of shifting our funding mix in favor of lower cost core deposits and away from reliance on time deposits (Certificates of Deposit). This has led to an evolution of our CD pricing strategy to more closely align with the costs of competing sources of funds, such as the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve, and to provide the Bank’s best rates only to those customers who provide the Bank with deeper, multi-product relationships, which in turn provide access to lower cost core deposits and the opportunity to generate fee income. New checking products and promotions have been developed to help drive core deposit relationships, and sales training and incentive programs have been shifted to focus on core deposit sales and cross selling.
Together with a favorable rate environment, these efforts have helped reduce our cost of funds from 2.94 percent at March 31, 2009, to 2.82 percent at March 31, 2010, a reduction of 12 basis points.
Enhancing our risk management and lending processes and aggressively addressing our existing classified loan portfolio
Under the leadership of Ms. Hayes, we have made significant progress in enhancing our risk management and lending process, as well as aggressively addressing our classified loan portfolio. These actions are aimed at addressing the need for an Enterprise Risk Management culture. Specific actions taken include the creation of a Special Assets Group to properly address and develop resolution plans with borrowers experiencing deteriorating financial condition. The commercial bank has been realigned to improve the overall risk management and align the resource around the risk in the portfolio. These changes include the establishment of a new independent underwriting group which evaluates the total borrowing relationship using a global cash flow methodology. Credit and collections groups have also been consolidated across lending areas to enhance efficiency, as well as provide a more consistent approach and comprehensive view of the Bank’s collections efforts. New metric and reporting have
4
been introduced to more effectively manage the portfolio performance. A new loan risk rating system using qualitative metrics to identify loans with potential risk has been implemented along with a new enhanced impairment analysis to evaluate all classified loans.
Recent Developments
The following provides a summary of significant developments occurring after the end of fiscal year 2010 (March 31, 2010) but prior to the filing of this 10K report in late June 2010.
| | |
| • | March 31, 2010: Anchor Bancorp Wisconsin Inc. and Badger Anchor Holdings, LLC mutually terminated agreements entered into in December 2009 pursuant to which Badger Holdings would have made up to a $400 million investment in the Corporation, including a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $110 million.

|
| • | April 2, 2010: the Corporation announced that we engaged Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. as financial advisor to assist the Corporation in evaluating strategic alternatives.

|
| • | May 3, 2010: the Corporation entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2008, among the Corporation, U.S. Bank National Association, and its partner lenders.

|
| • | May 5, 2010: Douglas Timmerman announced his retirement from the Board of Directors of Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc, effective May 5, 2010. Mr. Timmerman’s resignation was not due to any dispute or disagreement with the Corporationand/or its board or management. He had served on the Board of Directors since 1971. |
|
| • | May 13, 2010: the Audit Committee Chair, as previously authorized by the Corporation’s board of directors, concluded based upon the recommendation of management and the findings of a recent internal financial review of the accounting for FDIC insurance premiums at its wholly-owned subsidiary, AnchorBank, fsb (the “Bank”), that the Corporation’s previously filed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three quarters ending June 30, 2009, September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009, as reported in its Quarterly Reports onForm 10-Q, as well as the Corporation’s previously issued earnings release for each affected quarter, can no longer be relied upon and would be restated based on the adjusted additional accrued FDIC insurance premiums. As a result of the foregoing, the Corporation incurred an additional loss in the range of $1.2 million to $3.2 million for each quarter under restatement for a total loss of $6.6 million. The impact of the restatement had no effect on the Bank’s regulatory capital ratio classification for any affected quarters. |
|
| • | May 14, 2010: the bank announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of four AnchorBank branches in the Green Bay, Wisconsin, area to Nicolet National Bank (Nicolet) of Green Bay.

Business Overview
Lending Activities
General. At March 31, 2010, the Bank’s net loans held for investment totaled $3.23 billion, representing approximately 73.1% of its $4.42 billion of total assets at that date. Approximately $2.56 billion, or 74.6%, of the Bank’s total loans receivable at March 31, 2010 were secured by first liens on real estate.
The Bank originates single-family residential loans secured by properties located primarily in Wisconsin, with adjustable-rate loans generally being originated for inclusion in the Bank’s loan portfolio and fixed-rate loans generally being originated for sale into the secondary market. At this time, the Bank is not active in the origination of new commercial real estate, multi-family, construction, and commercial business loans. Consumer and education loans are still originated to our core retail banking customers.

Non-real estate loans originated by the Bank consist of a variety of consumer loans and commercial business loans. At March 31, 2010, the Bank’s total loans receivable included $709.3 million, or 20.6%, of consumer loans and $164.3 million, or 4.8%, of commercial business loans.

Single-Family Residential Loans. At March 31, 2010, $765.3 million, or 22.3%, of the Bank’s total loans receivable consisted of single-family residential loans, substantially all of which are conventional loans, which are neither insured nor guaranteed by a federal or state agency. Single-family residential loans have increased as a percentage of the Bank’s total loans receivable from 20.5% at March 31, 2006 to 22.3% at March 31, 2010.
The adjustable-rate loans currently emphasized by the Bank have up to30-year maturities and terms which permit the Bank to annually increase or decrease the rate on the loans, based on a designated index. This is generally subject to a limit of 2% per adjustment and an aggregate 6% adjustment over the life of the loan. The Bank makes a limited number of interest-only loans and does not make payment option loans, pursuant to which a consumer may select a payment option which can result in negative amortization on the loan.
Adjustable-rate loans decrease the risks associated with changes in interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest rates rise, the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the terms of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. The Bank believes that these risks, which have not had a material adverse effect on the Bank to date, generally are less than the risks associated with holding fixed-rate loans in an increasing interest rate environment. At March 31, 2010, approximately $520.8 million, or 68.0%, of the Bank’s permanent single-family residential loans receivable consisted of loans with adjustable interest rates. Also, as interest rates decline, borrowers may refinance their mortgages into fixed-rate loans thereby prepaying the balance of the loan prior to maturity.
The Bank continues to originate long-term, fixed-rate conventional mortgage loans. The Bank generally sells current production of these loans with terms of 15 years or more to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and other institutional investors, while keeping some of the10-year term loans in its portfolio. In order to provide a full range of products to its customers, the Bank also participates in the loan origination programs of Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (“WHEDA”), and Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (“WDVA”). The Bank retains the right to service substantially all loans that it sells.
At March 31, 2010, approximately $244.6 million, or 32.0%, of the Bank’s permanent single-family residential loans receivable consisted of loans that provide for fixed rates of interest. Although these loans generally provide for repayments of principal over a fixed period of 10 to 30 years, it is the Bank’s experience that, because of prepayments anddue-on-sale clauses, such loans generally remain outstanding for a substantially shorter period of time.
9
Multi-Family Residential and Commercial Real Estate. The Bank originates multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans that it typically holds in its loan portfolio. Such loans generally have adjustable rates and shorter terms than single-family residential loans, thus increasing the sensitivity of the loan portfolio to changes in interest rates, as well as providing higher fees and rates than single-family residential loans. At March 31, 2010, the Bank had $614.9 million of loans secured by multi-family residential real estate and $842.9 million of loans secured by commercial real estate, which represented 17.9% and 24.5% of the Bank’s total loans receivable, respectively. The Bank generally limits the origination of such loans to its primary market area.
The Bank’s multi-family residential loans are primarily secured by apartment buildings and commercial real estate loans are primarily secured by office buildings, industrial buildings, warehouses, small retail shopping centers and various special purpose properties, including hotels, restaurants and nursing homes.
Although terms vary, multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans generally have maturities of 15 to 20 years, as well as balloon payments, and terms which provide that the interest rates thereon may be adjusted annually at the Bank’s discretion, based on a designated index, subject to an initial fixed-rate for a one to five year period and an annual limit generally of 1.5% per adjustment, with no limit on the amount of such adjustments over the life of the loan.
Construction and Land Loans. The Bank, in the past years, has been an originator of loans to construct residential and commercial properties (“construction loans”) and loans to acquire and develop real estate for the construction of such properties (“land loans”). At March 31, 2010, construction loans amounted to $108.5 million, or 3.2%, of the Bank’s total loans receivable. Land loans amounted to $231.3 million, or 6.7%, of the Bank’s total loans receivable at March 31, 2010.
The Bank’s construction loans generally have terms of six to 12 months, fixed interest rates and fees which are due at the time of origination and at maturity if the Bank does not originate the permanent financing on the constructed property. Loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction progresses and as inspections by the Bank’s in-house Construction Administrator and outside construction inspectors warrant. Typically, a component of the loan amount has been a reserve to cover interest payments during the construction phase. Land acquisition and development loans generally have the same terms as construction loans, but may have longer maturities than such loans. At this time, the Bank is not active and has currently suspended activity in this market segment.
Consumer Loans. The Bank offers consumer loans in order to provide a full range of financial services to its customers. At March 31, 2010, $709.3 million, or 20.6%, of the Bank’s consolidated total loans receivable consisted of consumer loans. Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than mortgage loans but generally involve more risk than mortgage loans because of the type and nature of the collateral and, in certain cases, the absence of collateral.
The largest component of the Bank’s consumer loan portfolio is second mortgage and home equity loans, which amounted to $352.8 million, or 10.3%, of total loans receivable at March 31, 2010. The primary home equity loan product has an adjustable interest rate that is linked to the prime interest rate and is secured by a mortgage, either a primary or a junior lien, on the borrower’s residence. Advances do not exceed 85% of assessed or appraised value as of the loan origination date. A fixed-rate home equity product is also offered.
Approximately $331.5 million, or 9.6%, of the Bank’s total loans receivable at March 31, 2010 consisted of education loans. These are generally made for a maximum of $3,500 per year for undergraduate studies and $8,500 per year for graduate studies and are placed in repayment on an installment basis within six months of graduation. Education loans generally have interest rates that adjust annually in accordance with a designated index. Both the principal amount of an education loan and interest thereon generally are guaranteed by the Great Lakes Higher Education Corporation, which generally obtains reinsurance of its obligations from the U.S. Department of Education. Education loans may be sold to the U.S. Department of Education or to other investors. The Bank received $84.8 million from the sale of these education loans during fiscal 2010.
The remainder of the Bank’s consumer loan portfolio consists of vehicle loans and other secured and unsecured loans that have been made for a variety of consumer purposes. These include credit extended through credit cards issued by the Bank pursuant to an agency arrangement under which the Bank participates in outstanding balances,
10
currently at 28%, with a third party, ELAN Financial Services. The Bank also shares 33% of annual fees paid to ELAN and 30% of late payment, over limit and cash advance fees paid to ELAN as well as 25% to 30% of interchange income paid to ELAN.
At March 31, 2010, the Bank’s approved credit card lines amounted to $46.2 million. The total outstanding amount at March 31, 2010 is $8.8 million.
Commercial Business Loans and Leases. The Bank originates loans for commercial, corporate and business purposes, including issuing letters of credit. At March 31, 2010, commercial business loans amounted to $164.3 million, or 4.8%, of the Bank’s total loans receivable. The Bank’s commercial business loan portfolio is comprised of loans for a variety of purposes and generally is secured by equipment, machinery and other business assets. Commercial business loans generally have terms of five years or less and interest rates that float in accordance with a designated published index. Substantially all of such loans are secured and backed by the personal guarantees of the owners of the business.
Net Fee Income From Lending Activities. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are being deferred and the net amounts are amortized as an adjustment to the related loan’s yield.
The Bank also receives other fees and charges relating to existing mortgage loans, which include prepayment penalties, late charges and fees collected in connection with a change in borrower or other loan modifications. Other types of loans also generate fee income for the Bank. These include annual fees assessed on credit card accounts, transactional fees relating to credit card usage and late charges on consumer loans.
Origination, Purchase and Sale of Loans. The Bank’s loan originations come from a number of sources. Residential mortgage loan originations are attributable primarily to depositors, walk-in customers, the Company’s website, referrals from real estate brokers, builders and direct solicitations. Commercial real estate loan originations are obtained by direct solicitations and referrals. Consumer loans are originated from walk-in customers, existing depositors and mortgagors and direct solicitation. Student loans are originated from direct marketing of current customers with college students and college lender lists.
Applications for all types of loans are obtained at the Bank’s seven regional lending offices, certain of its branch offices and two loan origination facilities. Loans may be approved by members of the Senior Loan Committee, within designated limits. Depending on the type and amount of the loans, four signatures of the members of the Senior Loan Committee also may be required. For loan requests of $1.5 million or less, loan approval authority is designated to a Concurrence Authority Credit Officer to sign within their authority. Senior Loan Committee members are authorized to approve loan requests between $1.5 million and $4.0 million and approval requires at least three of the members’ signatures. Loan requests in excess of $4.0 million must be approved by the Board of Directors.
The Bank’s general policy is to lend up to 80% of the appraised value or purchase price of the property, whichever is less, securing a single-family residential loan (referred to as theloan-to-value ratio). The Bank will lend more than 80% of the appraised value of the property, but will require that the borrower obtain when possible, private mortgage insurance in an amount intended to reduce the Bank’s exposure to 80% or less of the appraised value of the underlying property. At March 31, 2010, the Bank had approximately $2.6 million of loans that hadloan-to-value ratios of greater than 80% and did not have private mortgage insurance for the portion of the loans above such amount.
Property appraisals on the real estate and improvements securing the Bank’s single-family residential loans are made by the Bank’s staff or independent appraisers approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors during the underwriting process. Appraisals are performed in accordance with federal regulations and policies.
The Bank’s underwriting criteria generally require that multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans haveloan-to-value ratios which amount to 80% or less and debt coverage ratios of at least 110%. The Bank also generally obtains personal guarantees on its multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans from the principals of the borrowers, as well as appraisals of the collateral from independent appraisal firms.
The portfolio of commercial real estate, multi-family residential and commercial business loans is reviewed on a continuing basis to identify any potential risks that exist in regard to the property management, financial criteria of
11
the loan, operating performance, competitive marketplace and collateral valuation. The credit analysis function of the Bank is responsible for identifying and reporting credit risk quantified through a loan rating system and making recommendations to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio. These and other underwriting standards are documented in written policy statements, which are periodically updated and approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors.
The Bank encounters certain environmental risks in its lending activities. Under federal and state environmental laws, lenders may become liable for costs of cleaning up hazardous materials found on secured properties. Certain states may also impose liens with higher priorities than first mortgages on properties to recover funds used in such efforts. Although the foregoing environmental risks are more usually associated with industrial and commercial loans, environmental risks may be substantial for residential lenders, like the Bank, since environmental contamination may render the secured property unsuitable for residential use. In addition, the value of residential properties may become substantially diminished by contamination of nearby properties. In accordance with the guidelines of FNMA and FHLMC, appraisals for single-family homes on which the Bank lends include comments on environmental influences and conditions. The Bank attempts to control its exposure to environmental risks with respect to loans secured by larger properties by monitoring available information on hazardous waste disposal sites and requiring environmental inspections of such properties prior to closing the loan. No assurance can be given, however, that the value of properties securing loans in the Bank’s portfolio will not be adversely affected by the presence of hazardous materials or that future changes in federal or state laws will not increase the Bank’s exposure to liability for environmental cleanup.
The Bank has been actively involved in the secondary market since the mid-1980s and generally originates single-family residential loans under terms, conditions and documentation which permit sale to FHLMC, FNMA, and other investors in the secondary market. The Bank sells substantially all of the fixed-rate, single-family residential loans with terms over 15 years it originates in order to decrease the amount of such loans in its loan portfolio. The volume of loans originated and sold is dependent on a number of factors, but is most influenced by general interest rates. In periods of lower interest rates, demand for fixed-rate mortgages increases. In periods of higher interest rates, customer demand for fixed-rate mortgages declines. The Bank’s sales are usually made through forward sales commitments. The Bank attempts to limit any interest rate risk created by forward commitments by limiting the number of days between the commitment and closing, charging fees for commitments, and limiting the amounts of its uncovered commitments at any one time. Forward commitments to cover closed loans and loans with rate locks to customers range from 70% to 100% of committed amounts. The Bank also periodically has used its loans to securitize mortgage-backed securities.
The Bank generally services all originated loans that have been sold to other investors. This includes the collection of payments, the inspection of the secured property, and the disbursement of certain insurance and tax advances on behalf of borrowers. The Bank recognizes a servicing fee when the related loan payments are received. At March 31, 2010, the Bank was servicing $3.60 billion of loans for others.
The Bank is not an active purchaser of loans because of sufficient loan demand in its market area. Servicing of loans or loan participations purchased by the Bank is performed by the seller, with a portion of the interest being paid by the borrower retained by the seller to cover servicing costs. At March 31, 2010, approximately $14.1 million of mortgage loans were being serviced for the Bank by others.

Delinquency Procedures. Delinquent and problem loans are a normal part of any lending business. When a borrower fails to make a required payment by the 15th day after which the payment is due, the loan is considered delinquent and internal collection procedures are instituted. The borrower is contacted to determine the reason for the delinquency and attempts are made to cure the loan. The Bank regularly reviews the loan status, the condition of the property, and circumstances of the borrower. Based upon the results of its review, the Bank may negotiate and accept a repayment program with the borrower, accept a voluntary deed in lieu of foreclosure or initiate foreclosure proceedings.
A decision as to whether and when to initiate foreclosure proceedings is based upon such factors as the amount of the outstanding loan in relation to the original indebtedness, the extent of delinquency, the value of the collateral, and the borrower’s financial ability and willingness to cooperate in curing the deficiencies. If foreclosed on, the property is sold at a public sale and the Bank will generally bid an amount reasonably equivalent to the lower of the fair value of the foreclosed property or the amount of judgment due the Bank.
Real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as foreclosed property until it is sold. When property is acquired, it is recorded at the estimated fair value less cost to sell at the
13
date of acquisition, with charge-offs, if any, charged to the allowance for loan losses prior to transfer to foreclosed property. Upon acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed.
For discussion of the Corporation’s asset quality, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Financial Condition — Non-Performing Assets” in Item 7. See also Notes 1 and 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
Investment Securities
In addition to lending activities, the Corporation conducts other investment activities on an ongoing basis in order to diversify assets, limit interest rate risk and credit risk and meet regulatory liquidity requirements. The Corporation invests in mortgage-related securities which are insured or guaranteed by FHLMC, FNMA, or the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) backed by FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA mortgage-backed securities and also invests in non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). Investment decisions are made by authorized officers in accordance with policies established by the board of directors.
Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Corporation has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. Securities are classified as trading when the Corporation intends to actively buy and sell securities in order to make a profit. Trading securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings.
At March 31, 2010, the amortized cost of the Corporation’s investment securities held to maturity amounted to $39,000, all of which are30-year securities. There were no five- and seven-year balloon securities. All of the held to maturity investment securities are insured or guaranteed by FNMA and are adjustable-rate securities.
Securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. For the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, stockholders’ equity increased $938,000 (net of deferred income tax receivable) and decreased $8.2 million (net of deferred income tax receivable), respectively, to reflect net unrealized gains and losses on holding securities classified as available-for-sale. There were no securities designated as trading during the three years ended March 31, 2010.
The Corporation’s policy does not permit investment in non-investment grade bonds and permits investment in various types of liquid assets permissible for the Bank under OTS regulations, which include U.S. Government obligations, municipal bonds, securities of various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers’ acceptances, repurchase agreements and federal funds. Although the Corporation does not purchase non-investment grade securities, it does own $28.3 million, or 6.8% of the total investment security portfolio, of non-investment grade securities as a result of ratings downgrades. Subject to limitations on investment grade securities, the Corporation also invests in corporate stock and debt securities from time to time.
Agency-backed securities increase the quality of the Corporation’s assets by virtue of the insurance or guarantees of federal agencies that back them, require less capital under risk-based regulatory capital requirements than non-insured or guaranteed mortgage loans, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Corporation. At March 31, 2010, securities with a fair value of $317.7 million held by the Corporation are either AAA rated or are guaranteed by the government. At March 31, 2010, $301.2 million of the Corporation’s securities available-for-sale were pledged to secure various obligations of the Corporation. The Corporation had no securities held-to-maturity that were pledged to secure obligations of the Corporation at March 31, 2010.

Due to repayments of the underlying loans, the actual maturities of mortgage-related securities are expected to be substantially sooner than the scheduled maturities.
For additional information regarding the Corporation’s investment securities, see the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements, including Note 4 thereto included in Item 8.
Sources of Funds
General. Deposits are a major source of the Bank’s funds for lending and other investment activities. In addition to deposits, the Bank derives funds from principal repayments and prepayments on loan and mortgage-related securities, maturities of investment securities, sales of loans and securities, interest payments on loans and securities, advances from the FHLB and, from time to time, repurchase agreements and other borrowings. Loan repayments and interest payments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are significantly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other sources. They also may be used on a longer term basis for general business purposes, including providing financing for lending and other investment activities and asset/liability management strategies.
Deposits. The Bank’s deposit products include passbook savings accounts, demand accounts, interest bearing checking accounts, money market deposit accounts and certificates of deposit ranging in terms of 42 days to seven years. Included among these deposit products are Individual Retirement Account certificates and Keogh retirement certificates, as well as negotiable-rate certificates of deposit with balances of $100,000 or more (“jumbo certificates”).
The Bank’s deposits are obtained primarily from residents of Wisconsin. The Bank has entered into agreements with certain brokers that provide funds for a specified fee. While brokered deposits are a good source of funds, they are interest rate driven and thus inherently have more liquidity and interest rate risk. To mitigate this risk, the Bank’s liquidity policy limits the amount of brokered deposits to 10% of assets and to the total amount of borrowings. At March 31, 2010, the Bank had $173.5 million in brokered deposits, which accounted for 4.9% of its $3.55 billion of total deposits and accrued interest. At March 31, 2010, the Bank is precluded from obtaining new or renewing existing brokered deposits because the Bank is undercapitalized.
The Bank attracts deposits through a network of convenient office locations by utilizing a detailed customer sales and service plan and by offering a wide variety of accounts and services, competitive interest rates and convenient customer hours. Deposit terms offered by the Bank vary according to the minimum balance required, the time period the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate, among other factors. In determining the characteristics of its deposit accounts, consideration is given to the profitability of the Bank, matching terms of the deposits with loan products, the attractiveness to customers and the rates offered by the Bank’s competitors.
The following table sets forth the amount and maturities of the Bank’s certificates of deposit at March 31, 2010.

(1) | | Stemming from the Bank’s acquisition of S&C Bank on January 2, 2008, a purchase value adjustment was made to the market values of certificates of deposit and core deposit accounts. The market value of certificate of deposit accounts was determined by discounting cash flows using current deposit rates for the remaining |
16
| | |
| | contractual maturity. The market value of the core deposit intangible in the amount of $5.5 million (checking, money market and passbook accounts) was determined using discounted cash flows with estimated decay rates and is not included in the above table. |
At March 31, 2010, the Bank had $483.8 million of certificates greater than or equal to $100,000, of which $157.6 million are scheduled to mature in seven through twelve months and $63.7 million in over twelve months.
Borrowings. From time to time the Bank obtains advances from the FHLB, which generally are secured by capital stock of the FHLB that certain of the Bank’s mortgage loans and investment securities. See “Regulation.” Such advances are made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. The FHLB may prescribe the acceptable uses for these advances, as well as limitations on the size of the advances and repayment provisions.
From time to time the Bank enters into repurchase agreements with nationally recognized primary securities dealers. Repurchase agreements are accounted for as borrowings by the Bank and are secured by mortgage-backed securities. The Bank did not utilize this source of funds during the year ended March 31, 2010, but may do so in the future.
The Corporation used a short-term line of credit used in part to fund IDI’s partnership interests and investments in real estate held for development and sale. This line of credit also funded other Corporation needs. The final maturity of the line of credit was extended to May 2011. At March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Corporation had drawn $116.3 million under this line of credit, respectively. The Corporation does not have credit remaining on this line of credit. See Note 11 to the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for more information on borrowings.

Subsidiaries
Investment Directions, Inc. IDI is a wholly-owned non-banking subsidiary of the Corporation that has invested in various limited partnerships (see Davsha and Oakmont partnerships below) and subsidiaries funded by borrowings from the Corporation. Because the Corporation has made substantially all of the initial capital investment in these partnerships and as a result bears substantially all the risks of ownership of these partnerships, such partnerships have been deemed variable interest entities (“VIE’s”) subject to the consolidation requirements of ASC810-10-15. The application of ASC-810-10-15 results in the consolidation of assets, liabilities, income and expense of the partnerships into the Corporation’s financial statements. The portion of ownership and income that
17
belongs to the other partner is reflected as noncontrolling interest so there is no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity. See Note 1 — Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for a detailed discussion of the financial statement effects ofASC-810-10-15. During the year ended March 31, 2010, IDI sold for $11.5 million its interest in Davsha, LLC and its related interest in the limited partnerships as well as the golf course and resort at Indian Palms, which included some developed lots.
The following table sets forth certain selected parent-only financial data of IDI at and for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

California Investment Directions, Inc. CIDI was a wholly owned non-banking subsidiary of IDI formed in April 2000 to purchase and hold the general partnership interest in S&D Indian Palms, Ltd. and a minority interest in Davsha, LLC. CIDI was organized in the state of California. Davsha and its subsidiaries invested in VIE’s which were subject to consolidation pursuant to ASC810-10-15.

18
Davsha, LLC. Davsha was a wholly owned non-banking subsidiary of IDI (80% owned) and CIDI (20% owned). Davsha was organized in the state of California, where it purchased land from Indian Palms and developed residential housing for sale.

Oakmont. Oakmont became a wholly owned non-banking subsidiary of NIDI and IDI in January 2000 with NIDI having a 94.12% partnership interest and IDI having a 5.88% partnership interest. Oakmont was organized in the state of Texas. Oakmont was a limited partner in Chandler Creek Business Park of Round Rock, Texas, a joint venture partnership formed to develop an industrial park located in Round Rock, Texas. The original project consisted of four office warehouse buildings totaling 163,000 square feet and vacant land of approximately 135 acres. Oakmont sold its interest in Chandler Creek in March 2009 to one of the other partners in the partnership. As a result of the sale, Oakmont recognized a gain on sale of $1.4 million.
The assets that remain at IDI include an equity interest in one commercial real estate property and one real estate development along with various notes receivable.
At March 31, 2010, the Corporation had extended $4.6 million to IDI to fund various partnership and subsidiary investments. This represents a decrease of $15.8 million from borrowings of $20.4 million at March 31, 2009. These amounts are eliminated in consolidation.
ADPC Corporation. ADPC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank that holds and develops certain of the Bank’s foreclosed properties. The Bank’s investment in ADPC at March 31, 2010 amounted to $2.7 million as compared to $3.7 million at March 31, 2009. ADPC had a net loss of $998,000 for the year ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $747,000 for the year ended March 31, 2009.
Anchor Investment Corporation. AIC is an operating subsidiary of the Bank that was incorporated in March 1993. Located in the state of Nevada, AIC was formed for the purpose of managing a portion of the Bank’s investment portfolio (primarily mortgage-backed securities). As an operating subsidiary, AIC’s results of operations are combined with the Bank’s for financial and regulatory purposes. The Bank’s investment in AIC amounted to $223.6 million at March 31, 2010 as compared to $212.6 million at March 31, 2009. AIC had net income of $7.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $5.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2009.
Employees
The Corporation had 932 full-time employees and 131 part-time employees at March 31, 2010. The Corporation promotes equal employment opportunity and considers its relationship with its employees to be good. The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit.
Branch Sale Agreements
On November 13, 2009, the Bank entered into a Branch Sale Agreement for the sale of eleven branches in Northwestern Wisconsin to Royal Credit Union (RCU) of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, whereby RCU assumed approximately $169 million in deposits and received a corresponding amount in loans, real estate and other assets. The transaction received regulatory approval and closed on June 25, 2010.
The Company and RCU made customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in the Branch Sale Agreement. The parties have also agreed to indemnify each other (subject to customary limitations) with respect to breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of covenants and agreements, assets not retained or purchased, liabilities not retained or assumed, and ownership or operation of the branches, assets or liabilities during certain time periods.
On May 4, 2010, the Bank entered into a Branch Sale Agreement for the sale of four branches in the Green Bay, Wisconsin area to Nicolet National Bank (Nicolet) of Green Bay, Wisconsin, whereby Nicolet assumed approximately $117 million in deposits and receive a corresponding amount in loans, real estate and other assets. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second fiscal quarter.
19
The Bank and Nicolet made customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in the Branch Sale Agreement. The parties have also agreed to indemnify each other (subject to customary limitations) with respect to breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of covenants and agreements, assets not retained or purchased, liabilities not retained or assumed, and ownership or operation of the branches, assets or liabilities during certain time periods.
Regulation and Supervision
The business of the Corporation and the Bank is subject to extensive regulation and supervision under federal banking laws and other federal and state laws and regulations. In general, these laws and regulations are intended for the protection of depositors, the deposit insurance funds administered by the FDIC and the banking system as a whole, and not for the protection of stockholders or creditors of insured institutions.
Set forth below are brief descriptions of selected laws and regulations applicable to the Corporation and the Bank. These descriptions are not intended to be a comprehensive description of all laws and regulations to which the Corporation and the Bank are subject or to be complete descriptions of the laws and regulations discussed. The descriptions of statutory and regulatory provisions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the particular statutes and regulations. Changes in applicable statutes, regulations or regulatory policy may have a material effect on us and our businesses.
The Corporation
General. The Corporation is registered as a savings and loan holding company under Section 10 of the Home Owners’ Loan Act (“HOLA”). As a result, the Corporation is subject to the regulation, examination, supervision and reporting requirements of the OTS. The Corporation must file quarterly and annual reports with the OTS that describes its financial condition.
Activities Restrictions. There are generally no restrictions on the activities of a savings and loan holding company, such as the Corporation, which controlled only one subsidiary savings association on or before May 4, 1999 (a “grandfathered holding company”). However, if the Director of the OTS determines that there is reasonable cause to believe that the continuation by a savings and loan holding company of an activity constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of its subsidiary savings association, the Director may impose such restrictions as it deems necessary to address such risk, including limiting (i) payment of dividends by the savings association; (ii) transactions between the savings association and its affiliates; and (iii) any activities of the savings association that might create a serious risk that the liabilities of the holding company and its affiliates may be imposed on the savings association. Notwithstanding the above rules as to permissible business activities of unitary savings and loan holding companies, if the savings association subsidiary of such a holding company fails to meet the qualified thrift lender (“QTL”) test, then such unitary holding company also shall become subject to the activities restrictions applicable to multiple savings and loan holding companies and, unless the savings association requalifies as a QTL within one year thereafter, shall register as, and become subject to the restrictions applicable to, a bank holding company. Regulation as a bank holding company could be adverse to the Corporation’s operations and impose additional and possibly more burdensome regulatory requirements on the Corporation. See “— The Bank — Qualified Thrift Lender Test” below.
If a savings and loan holding company acquires control of a second savings association and holds it as a separate institution, the holding company becomes a multiple savings and loan holding company. As a general rule, multiple savings and loan holding companies are subject to restrictions on their activities that are not imposed on a grandfathered holding company. They could not commence or continue any business activity other than: (i) those permitted for a bank holding company under section 4(c) of the Bank Holding Company Act (unless the Director of the OTS by regulation prohibits or limits such 4(c) activities); (ii) furnishing or performing management services for a subsidiary savings association; (iii) conducting an insurance agency or escrow business; (iv) holding, managing, or liquidating assets owned by or acquired from a subsidiary savings association; (v) holding or managing properties used or occupied by a subsidiary savings association; (vi) acting as trustee under deeds of trust; or (vii) those activities authorized by regulation as of March 5, 1987, to be engaged in by multiple savings and loan holding companies.
20
Restrictions on Acquisitions. Except under limited circumstances, savings and loan holding companies are prohibited from acquiring, without prior approval of the OTS:
| | |
| • | control of any other savings institution or savings and loan holding company or all or substantially all the assets thereof; or |
|
| • | more than 5% of the voting shares of a savings institution or holding company of a savings institution which is not a subsidiary. |
In evaluating an application by a holding company to acquire a savings association, the OTS must consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the holding company and savings association involved, the risk of the acquisition to the insurance funds, the convenience and needs of the community and the effect of the acquisition on competition. Acquisitions which result in a savings and loan holding company controlling savings associations in more than one state are generally prohibited, except in supervisory transactions involving failing savings associations or based on specific state authorization of such acquisitions. Except with the prior approval of the OTS, no director or officer of a savings and loan holding company or person owning or controlling by proxy or otherwise more than 25% of such Corporation’s voting stock, may acquire control of any savings institution, other than a subsidiary savings institution, or of any other savings and loan holding company.
Change of Control. Federal law requires, with few exceptions, OTS approval (or, in some cases, notice and effective clearance) prior to any acquisition of control of the Corporation. Among other criteria, under OTS regulations, “control” is conclusively presumed to exist if a person or Corporation acquires, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of any class of voting stock of the savings association or holding company. Control is also presumed to exist, subject to rebuttal, if an acquiror acquires more than 10% of any class of voting stock (or more than 25% of any class of stock) and is subject to any of several “control factors,” including, among other matters, the relative ownership position of a person, the existence of control agreements and board composition.
Change in Management. If a savings and loan holding company is in a “troubled condition,” as defined in the OTS regulations, it is required to give 30 days’ prior written notice to the OTS before adding or replacing a director, employing any person as a senior executive officer or changing the responsibility of any senior executive officer so that such person would assume a different senior executive position. The OTS then has the opportunity to disapprove any such appointment.
Limitations on Dividends. The Corporation is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank and its other subsidiaries. The Corporation’s principal source of revenue consists of dividends from the Bank. The payment of dividends by the Bank is subject to various regulatory requirements, including a minimum of 30 days’ advance notice to the OTS of any proposed dividend to the Corporation.
Other limitations may apply depending on the size of the proposed dividend and the condition of the Bank. See “— The Bank — Restrictions on Capital Distributions” below.
The Bank
General. The Bank is a federal savings bank organized under the laws of the United States and subject to regulation and examination by the OTS. The OTS regulates all areas of the Bank’s banking operations, including investments, reserves, lending, mergers, payment of dividends, interest rates, transactions with affiliates (including the Corporation), establishment of branches and other aspects of the Bank’s operations. The Bank is subject to regular examinations by the OTS and is assessed amounts to cover the costs of such examinations.
Because the Bank’s deposits are insured by the FDIC to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Bank is also regulated by the FDIC. The major functions of the FDIC with respect to insured institutions include making assessments, if required, against insured institutions to fund the appropriate deposit insurance fund and preventing the continuance or development of unsound and unsafe banking practices.
Capital Requirements. OTS regulations require that federal savings banks maintain: (i) “tangible capital” in an amount of not less than 1.5% of adjusted total assets, (ii) “core (Tier 1) capital” in an amount not less than 3.0% of adjusted total assets and (iii) a level of risk-based capital equal to 8.0% of total risk-weighted assets. Most banks are required to maintain a “minimum leverage” ratio of core (Tier 1) capital of at least 4.0% to 5.0% of adjusted total assets.
21
“Core capital” includes common stockholders’ equity (including common stock, additional paid in capital and retained earnings, but excluding any net unrealized gains or losses, net of related taxes, on certain securities available for sale), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and any related surplus and noncontrolling interests in the equity accounts of full consolidated subsidiaries. Intangible assets generally must be deducted from core capital, other than certain servicing assets and purchased credit card relationships, subject to limitations. “Tangible capital” means core capital less any intangible assets (except for mortgage servicing assets includable in core capital) and investments in subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible for a national bank. “Total capital,” for purposes of the risk-based capital requirement, equals the sum of core capital plus supplementary (Tier 2) capital (which, as defined, includes the sum of, among other items, perpetual preferred stock not counted as core capital, limited life preferred stock, subordinated debt and general loan and lease loss allowances up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets) less certain deductions. The amount of supplementary (Tier 2) capital that may be counted towards satisfaction of the total capital requirement may not exceed 100% of core capital, and OTS regulations require the maintenance of a minimum ratio of core capital to total risk-weighted assets of 4.0%. Risk-weighted assets are determined by multiplying certain categories of a savings association’s assets, including off-balance sheet equivalents, by an assigned risk weight of 0% to 100% based on the credit risk associated with those assets as specified in OTS regulations.
As of March 31, 2010, the Bank was not in compliance with all minimum regulatory capital requirements, with tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios of 3.73%, 3.73% and 7.32%, respectively. Capital requirements higher than the generally applicable minimum requirement may be established for a particular savings association if the OTS determines that the institution’s capital was or may become inadequate in view of its particular circumstances. In June, 2009, the Bank consented to the issuance of a Cease and Desist Agreement with the OTS which requires, among other things, capital requirements in excess of the generally applicable minimum requirements. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Prompt Corrective Action. Under Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”), each federal banking agency is required to take prompt corrective action to deal with depository institutions subject to their jurisdiction that fail to meet their minimum capital requirements or are otherwise in a troubled condition. The prompt corrective action provisions require undercapitalized institutions to become subject to an increasingly stringent array of restrictions, requirements and prohibitions as their capital levels deteriorate and supervisory problems mount. Should these corrective measures prove unsuccessful in recapitalizing the institution and correcting its problems, the FDIA mandates that the institution be placed in receivership.
Pursuant to regulations promulgated under Section 38 of the FDIA, the corrective actions that the banking agencies either must or may take are tied primarily to an institution’s capital levels. In accordance with the framework set forth in the FDIA, the federal banking agencies have developed a classification system, pursuant to which all banks and savings associations are placed into one of five categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. The capital thresholds established for each of the categories are as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | | | Tier 1
| | Total
|
| | Tier 1
| | Risk-Based
| | Risk-Based
|
Capital Category | | Leverage Ratio | | Capital Ratio | | Capital Ratio |
|
Well Capitalized | | 5% or above | | 6% or above | | 10% or above |
Adequately Capitalized | | 4% or above(1) | | 4% or above | | 8% or above |
Undercapitalized | | Less than 4% | | Less than 4% | | Less than 8% |
Significantly Undercapitalized | | Less than 3% | | Less than 3% | | Less than 6% |
Critically Undercapitalized | | Less than 2% | | — | | — |
| | |
(1) | | 3% for banks with the highest supervisory rating. |
The applicable federal banking agency also has authority, after providing an opportunity for a hearing, to downgrade an institution from “well capitalized” to “adequately capitalized” or to subject an “adequately capitalized” or “undercapitalized” institution to the supervisory actions applicable to the next lower category, for supervisory concerns.
22
Applicable laws and regulations also generally provide that no insured institution may make a capital distribution if it would cause the institution to become “undercapitalized.” Capital distributions include cash (but not stock) dividends, stock purchases, redemptions and other distributions of capital to the owners of an institution. Moreover, only a “well capitalized” depository institution may accept brokered deposits without prior regulatory approval.
“Undercapitalized” depository institutions are subject to growth limitations and other restrictions and are required to submit a capital restoration plan. The federal banking agencies may not accept a capital plan without determining, among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution’s capital. In addition, for a capital restoration plan to be acceptable, the depository institution’s parent holding company must guarantee that the institution will comply with such capital restoration plan. The aggregate liability of the parent holding company is limited to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 5% of the depository institution’s total assets at the time it became “undercapitalized,” and (ii) the amount which is necessary (or would have been necessary) to bring the institution into compliance with all capital standards applicable with respect to such institution as of the time it fails to comply with the plan. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is “significantly undercapitalized.”
“Significantly undercapitalized” depository institutions may be subject to a number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient voting stock to become “adequately capitalized,” requirements to reduce total assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks.
“Critically undercapitalized” institutions are subject to the appointment of a receiver or conservator.
As of March 31, 2010, the Bank was “undercapitalized.” See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Restrictions on Capital Distributions. OTS regulations govern capital distributions by savings institutions, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the capital account of a savings institution to make capital distributions. Under applicable regulations, a savings institution must file an application for OTS approval of the capital distribution if:
| | |
| • | the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceed the sum of the institution’s net income for that year to date plus the institution’s retained net income for the preceding two years; |
|
| • | the institution would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution; |
|
| • | the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement or OTS-imposed condition; or |
|
| • | the institution is not eligible for expedited treatment of its filings with the OTS. |
If an application is not required to be filed, savings institutions such as the Bank which are a subsidiary of a holding company (as well as certain other institutions) must still file a notice with the OTS at least 30 days before the board of directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.
An institution that either before or after a proposed capital distribution fails to meet its then applicable minimum capital requirement or that has been notified that it needs more than normal supervision may not make any capital distributions without the prior written approval of the OTS. In addition, the OTS may prohibit a proposed capital distribution, which would otherwise be permitted by OTS regulations, if the OTS determines that such distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.
The FDIC prohibits an insured depository institution from paying dividends on its capital stock or interest on its capital notes or debentures (if such interest is required to be paid only out of net profits) or distributing any of its capital assets while it remains in default in the payment of any assessment due the FDIC. The Bank is currently not in default in any assessment payment to the FDIC.
Qualified Thrift Lender Test. A savings association can comply with the qualified thrift lender, or QTL, test set forth in the HOLA and implementing regulations of the OTS by either meeting the QTL test set forth therein or qualifying as a domestic building and loan association as defined in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The QTL test set forth in the HOLA requires a savings association to maintain 65% of portfolio assets
23
in qualified thrift investments, or QTLs. Portfolio assets are defined as total assets less intangibles, property used by a savings association in its business and liquidity investments in an amount not exceeding 20% of assets. Generally, QTLs are residential housing related assets. At March 31, 2010, the amount of the Bank’s assets which were invested in QTLs exceeded the percentage required to qualify the Bank under the QTL test.
Applicable laws and regulations provide that any savings association that fails to meet the definition of a QTL must either convert to a national bank charter or limit its future investments and activities (including branching and payments of dividends) to those permitted for both savings associations and national banks. Further, within one year of the loss of QTL status, a holding company of a savings association that does not convert to a bank charter must register as a bank holding company and be subject to all statutes applicable to bank holding companies. In order to exercise the powers granted to federally-chartered savings associations and maintain full access to FHLB advances, the Bank must continue to meet the definition of a QTL.
Safety and Soundness Standards. The OTS and the other federal bank regulatory agencies have established guidelines for safety and soundness, addressing operational and managerial standards, as well as compensation matters for insured financial institutions. Institutions failing to meet these standards are required to submit compliance plans to their appropriate federal regulators. The OTS and the other agencies have also established guidelines regarding asset quality and earnings standards for insured institutions. The Bank believes that it is in compliance with these guidelines and standards.
Community Investment and Consumer Protection Laws. In connection with the Bank’s lending activities, the Bank is subject to a variety of federal laws designed to protect borrowers and promote lending to various sectors of the economy and population. Included among these are the federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act,Truth-in-Lending Act,Truth-in-Savings Act, Fair Housing Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Bank Secrecy Act, Money Laundering Prosecution Improvements Act and Community Reinvestment Act.
The Community Reinvestment Act requires insured institutions to define the communities that they serve, identify the credit needs of those communities and adopt and implement a “Community Reinvestment Act Statement” pursuant to which they offer credit products and take other actions that respond to the credit needs of the community. The responsible federal banking regulator (the OTS in the case of the Bank) must conduct regular Community Reinvestment Act examinations of insured financial institutions and assign to them a Community Reinvestment Act rating of “outstanding,” “satisfactory,” “needs improvement” or “unsatisfactory.” The record of a depository institution under the Community Reinvestment Act will be taken into account when applying for the establishment of new branches or mergers with other institutions. The Bank’s current Community Reinvestment Act rating is “satisfactory.”
The Bank attempts in good faith to ensure compliance with the requirements of the consumer protection statutes to which it is subject, as well as the regulations that implement the statutory provisions. The requirements are complex, however, and even inadvertent non-compliance could result in civil and, in some cases, criminal liability.
Federal Deposit Insurance. The FDIC insures the deposits, up to prescribed statutory limits, of federally insured banks and savings institutions. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the “Reform Act”), which was signed into law on February 15, 2006: (i) the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund administered by the FDIC were merged into a new combined fund, called the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”), effective March 31, 2006, (ii) the current $100,000 deposit insurance coverage will be indexed for inflation (with adjustments every five years, commencing January 1, 2011); and (iii) deposit insurance coverage for retirement accounts was increased to $250,000 per participant subject to adjustment for inflation. The FDIC also has been given greater latitude in setting the assessment rates for insured depository institutions which could be used to impose minimum assessments. On October 3, 2008, as part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the level of basic FDIC insurance of accounts was temporarily increased to $250,000. The basic level is scheduled to return to $100,000 on December 31, 2013.
In addition, on November 21, 2008, the Board of Directors of the FDIC adopted a final rule relating to its Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”). The TLGP was first announced by the FDIC on October 14,
24
2008, preceded by the determination of systemic risk by the Secretary of the Treasury (after consultation with the President), as an initiative to counter the system-wide crisis in the nation’s financial sector. Under the TLGP, the FDIC will (i) guarantee, through the earlier of maturity or June 30, 2012, certain newly issued senior unsecured debt issued by participating institutions on or after October 14, 2008 and before June 30, 2009 and (ii) provide full FDIC deposit insurance coverage through December 31, 2009 for non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts paying less than 0.5% interest per annum and held at participating FDIC-insured institutions. Coverage under the TLGP was available for the first 30 days without charge. The Company and the Bank elected to continue to participate in the TLGP account insurance program, through payment of a fee assessment of 10 basis points per quarter on amounts in excess of $250,000 in covered accounts. At March 31, 2010, neither the Company nor the Bank had issued any senior unsecured debt under the TLGP.
The FDIC is authorized to set the reserve ratio for the DIF annually at between 1.15% and 1.5% of estimated insured deposits. If the DIF’s reserves exceed the designated reserve ratio, the FDIC is required to pay out all or, if the reserve ratio is less than 1.5%, a portion of the excess as a dividend to insured depository institutions based on the percentage of insured deposits held on December 31, 1996 adjusted for subsequently paid premiums. Insured depository institutions that were in existence on December 31, 1996 and paid assessments prior to that date (or their successors) are entitled to a one-time credit against future assessments based on their past contributions to the FDIC’s insurance funds.
Pursuant to the Reform Act, the FDIC has determined to maintain the designated reserve ratio at its current 1.25%. The FDIC also has adopted a new risk-based premium system that provides for quarterly assessments based on an insured institution’s ranking in one of four risk categories based on their examination ratings and capital ratios. Well-capitalized institutions with the CAMELS ratings of 1 or 2 are grouped in Risk Category I and are assessed for deposit insurance at an annual rate of between 12 and 16 basis points, with the assessment rate for an individual institution to be determined according to a formula based on a weighted average of the institution’s individual CAMELS component ratings plus either five financial ratios or, in the case of an institution with assets of $10 billion or more, the average ratings of its long-term debt. Institutions in Risk Categories II, III and IV are assessed at annual rates of 22, 32 and 45 basis points, respectively.
In addition, all institutions with deposits insured by the FDIC are required to pay assessments to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation, an agency of the Federal government established to recapitalize the predecessor to the Savings Association Insurance Fund. The assessment rate for the first quarter of 2010 was .0104% of insured deposits and it is adjusted quarterly. These assessments will continue until the Financing Corporation bonds mature in 2017.
Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC, after notice and hearing, upon a finding by the FDIC that the savings association has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, rule, regulation, order or condition imposed by, or written agreement with, the FDIC. Additionally, if insurance termination proceedings are initiated against a savings association, the FDIC may temporarily suspend insurance on new deposits received by an institution under certain circumstances.
Due to losses incurred by the Deposit Insurance Fund from failed institutions in 2008 and anticipated future losses, the FDIC adopted, pursuant to a Restoration Plan to replenish the fund, an across the board 7.0 basis point increase in the assessment range for the first quarter of 2009. The FDIC subsequently adopted further refinements to its risk-based assessment system, effective April 1, 2009, that effectively make the range 7.0 to 77.5 basis points. In May 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule imposing a special assessment on all insured institutions due to recent bank and savings association failures. The emergency assessment amounts to 5 basis points of total assets minus Tier 1 Capital as of June 30, 2009. The assessment was collected on September 30, 2009 and recorded against earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
In November 2009, the FDIC issued a rule that required all insured depository institutions, with limited exceptions, to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. The FDIC also adopted a uniform three-basis point increase in assessment rates effective on January 1, 2011.
25
Brokered Deposits. The FDIA restricts the use of brokered deposits by certain depository institutions. Under the FDIA and applicable regulations, (i) a “well capitalized insured depository institution” may solicit and accept, renew or roll over any brokered deposit without restriction, (ii) an “adequately capitalized insured depository institution” may not accept, renew or roll over any brokered deposit unless it has applied for and been granted a waiver of this prohibition by the OTS and (iii) an “undercapitalized insured depository institution” may not (x) accept, renew or roll over any brokered deposit or (y) solicit deposits by offering an effective yield that exceeds by more than 75 basis points the prevailing effective yields on insured deposits of comparable maturity in such institution’s normal market area or in the market area in which such deposits are being solicited. The term “undercapitalized insured depository institution” is defined to mean any insured depository institution that fails to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirement prescribed by its appropriate federal banking agency. The OTS may, on acase-by-case basis and upon application by an adequately capitalized insured depository institution, waive the restriction on brokered deposits upon a finding that the acceptance of brokered deposits does not constitute an unsafe or unsound practice with respect to such institution. The Corporation had $173.5 million of outstanding brokered deposits at March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2010, the Bank is undercapitalized and as a result, precluded from accepting, renewing or rolling over brokered deposits without prior approval of the OTS. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Federal Home Loan Bank System. The FHLB System consists of 12 regional FHLBs, each subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Housing Finance Board, or FHFB. The FHLBs provide a central credit facility for member savings associations. Collateral is required. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Chicago. The maximum amount that the FHLB of Chicago will advance fluctuates from time to time in accordance with changes in policies of the FHFB and the FHLB of Chicago, and the maximum amount generally is reduced by borrowings from any other source. In addition, the amount of FHLB advances that a savings association may obtain is restricted in the event the institution fails to maintain its status as a QTL.
Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted regulations that require savings associations to maintain non-earning reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking accounts). These reserves may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements imposed by the OTS. Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of cash or a non-interest-bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of this reserve requirement is to reduce the amount of the Bank’s interest-earning assets.
Transactions With Affiliates Restrictions. Transactions between savings associations and any affiliate are governed by Section 11 of the HOLA and Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and regulations thereunder. An affiliate of a savings association generally is any company or entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the savings association. In a holding company context, the parent holding company of a savings association (such as the Corporation) and any companies which are controlled by such parent holding company are affiliates of the savings association. Generally, Section 23A limits the extent to which the savings association or its subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such association’s capital stock and surplus, and contains an aggregate limit on all such transactions with all affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such capital stock and surplus. Section 23B applies to “covered transactions” as well as certain other transactions and requires that all transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the savings association as those provided to a non-affiliate. The term “covered transaction” includes the making of loans to, purchase of assets from and issuance of a guarantee to an affiliate and similar transactions. Section 23B transactions also apply to the provision of services and the sale of assets by a savings association to an affiliate. In addition to the restrictions imposed by Sections 23A and 23B, Section 11 of the HOLA prohibits a savings association from (i) making a loan or other extension of credit to an affiliate, except for any affiliate which engages only in certain activities which are permissible for bank holding companies, or (ii) purchasing or investing in any stocks, bonds, debentures, notes or similar obligations of any affiliate, except for affiliates which are subsidiaries of the savings association.
In addition, Sections 22(g) and (h) of the Federal Reserve Act place restrictions on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors and principal stockholders. Under Section 22(h), loans to a director, an executive officer and to a greater than 10% stockholder of a savings association (“a principal stockholder”), and certain affiliated interests of either, may not exceed, together with all other outstanding loans to such person and affiliated interests, the savings association’s loans to one borrower limit (generally equal to 15% of the institution’s
26
unimpaired capital and surplus). Section 22(h) also requires that loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders be made on terms substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions to other persons unless the loans are made pursuant to a benefit or compensation program that (i) is widely available to employees of the institution and (ii) does not give preference to any director, executive officer or principal stockholder, or certain affiliated interests of either, over other employees of the savings institution. Section 22(h) also requires prior board approval for certain loans. In addition, the aggregate amount of extensions of credit by a savings institution to all insiders cannot exceed the institution’s unimpaired capital and surplus. Furthermore, Section 22(g) places additional restrictions on loans to executive officers. At March 31, 2010, the Bank was in compliance with the above restrictions.
The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001. The USA PATRIOT Act requires financial institutions such as the Bank to prohibit correspondent accounts with foreign shell banks, establish an anti-money laundering program that includes employee training and an independent audit, follow minimum standards for identifying customers and maintaining records of the identification information and make regular comparisons of customers against agency lists of suspected terrorists, their organizations and money launderers.
Privacy Regulation. The Corporation and the Bank are subject to numerous privacy-related laws and their implementing regulations, including but not limited to Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Right to Financial Privacy Act, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and other federal and state privacy and consumer protection laws. Those laws and the regulations promulgated under their authority can limit, under certain circumstances, the extent to which financial institutions may disclose nonpublic personal information that is specific to a particular individual to affiliated companies and nonaffiliated third parties. Moreover, the Bank is required to establish and maintain a comprehensive Information Security Program in accordance with the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information. The program must be designed to:
| | |
| • | ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information; |
|
| • | protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information; and |
|
| • | protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer. |
In addition, the Federal Trade Commission has implemented a nationwide “do not call” registry that allows consumers to prevent unsolicited telemarketing calls. Millions of households already have placed their telephone numbers on this registry.
Regulatory Enforcement Authority. The enforcement powers available to federal banking agencies are substantial and include, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issuecease-and-desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions against insured institutions and institution-affiliated parties. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with regulatory authorities.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. On July 30, 2002, President George W. Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which generally establishes a comprehensive framework to modernize and reform the oversight of public company auditing, improve the quality and transparency of financial reporting by those companies and strengthen the independence of auditors. Among other things, the new legislation (i) created a public company accounting oversight board which is empowered to set auditing, quality control and ethics standards, to inspect registered public accounting firms, to conduct investigations and to take disciplinary actions, subject to SEC oversight and review; (ii) strengthened auditor independence from corporate management by, among other things, limiting the scope of consulting services that auditors can offer their public company audit clients; (iii) heightened the responsibility of public company directors and senior managers for the quality of the financial reporting and disclosure made by their companies; (iv) adopted a number of provisions to deter wrongdoing by corporate management; (v) imposed a number of new corporate disclosure requirements; (vi) adopted provisions which generally seek to limit and expose to public view possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; and
27
(vii) imposed a range of new criminal penalties for fraud and other wrongful acts, as well as extended the period during which certain types of lawsuits can be brought against a company or its insiders.
Overdraft Regulation. The Federal Reserve has amended Regulation E (Electronic Fund Transfers) effective July 1, 2010 to require consumers to opt in, or affirmatively consent, to the institution’s overdraft service for ATM and one-time debit card transactions, before overdraft fees may be assessed on the account. Consumers will also be provided a clear disclosure of the fees and terms associated with the institution’s overdraft service.
Source of Strength Doctrine. Federal Reserve policy requires bank holding companies to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to their subsidiary banks. Under this policy, the holding company is expected to commit resources to support its bank subsidiary, including at times when the holding company may not be in a financial position to provide it. Any capital loans by a bank holding company to its subsidiary bank are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of such subsidiary bank. In the event of a bank holding company’s bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a bank subsidiary will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to priority of payment.
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
On October 3, 2008, President Bush signed into law the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), giving the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) authority to take certain actions to restore liquidity and stability to the U.S. banking markets. Based upon its authority in the EESA, a number of programs to implement EESA have been announced. Those programs include the following:
| | |
| • | Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”). Pursuant to this program, Treasury, on behalf of the US government, will purchase preferred stock, along with warrants to purchase common stock, from certain financial institutions, including bank holding companies, savings and loan holding companies and banks or savings associations not controlled by a holding company. The investment will have a dividend rate of 5% per year, until the fifth anniversary of Treasury’s investment and a dividend of 9% thereafter. During the time Treasury holds securities issued pursuant to this program, participating financial institutions will be required to comply with certain provisions regarding executive compensation and corporate governance. Participation in this program also imposes certain restrictions upon an institution’s dividends to common shareholders and stock repurchase activities. As described further herein, we elected to participate in the CPP and received $110 million pursuant to the program. |
|
| • | Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. This program contained both (i) a debt guarantee component, whereby the FDIC will guarantee until June 30, 2012, the senior unsecured debt issued by eligible financial institutions between October 14, 2008 and June 30, 2009; and (ii) an account transaction guarantee component, whereby the FDIC will insure 100% of non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts held at eligible financial institutions, such as payment processing accounts, payroll accounts and working capital accounts through December 31, 2009. The deadline for participation or opting out of this program was December 5, 2008. We elected not to opt out of the program. |
|
| • | Temporary increase in deposit insurance coverage. Pursuant to the EESA, the FDIC temporarily raised the basic limit on federal deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor. The EESA provides that the basic deposit insurance limit will return to $100,000 after December 31, 2013. |
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
On February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) was signed into law. Included among the many provisions in ARRA are restrictions affecting financial institutions who are participants in TARP, which are set forth in the form of amendments to EESA. These amendments provide that during the period in which any obligation under TARP remains outstanding (other than obligations relating to outstanding warrants), TARP recipients are subject to appropriate standards for executive compensation and corporate governance which were set forth in an interim final rule regarding TARP standards for Compensation and Corporate Governance,
28
issued by Treasury and effective on June 15, 2009 (the “Interim Final Rule”). Among the executive compensation and corporate governance provisions included in ARRA and the Interim Final Rule are the following:
| | |
| • | an incentive compensation “clawback” provision to cover “senior executive officers” (defined in this instance and below to mean the “named executive officers” for whom compensation disclosure is provided in the company’s proxy statement) and the next 20 most highly compensated employees; |
|
| • | a prohibition on certain golden parachute payments to cover any payment related to a departure for any reason (with limited exceptions) made to any senior executive officer (as defined above) and the next five most highly compensated employees; |
|
| • | a limitation on incentive compensation paid or accrued to the five most highly compensated employees of the financial institution, subject to limited exceptions for pre-existing arrangements set forth in written employment contracts executed on or prior to February 11, 2009, and certain awards of restricted stock which may not exceed 1/3 of annual compensation, are subject to a two year holding period and cannot be transferred until Treasury’s preferred stock is redeemed in full; |
|
| • | a requirement that the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer provide in annual securities filings, a written certification of compliance with the executive compensation and corporate governance provisions of the Interim Final Rule; |
|
| • | an obligation for the compensation committee of the board of directors to evaluate with the company’s chief risk officer certain compensation plans to ensure that such plans do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risks or the manipulation of reported earnings; |
|
| • | a requirement that companies adopt a company-wide policy regarding excessive or luxury expenditures; and |
|
| • | a requirement that companies permit a separate, non-binding shareholder vote to approve the compensation of executives. |
ARRA also empowers the Treasury with the authority to review bonus, retention, and other compensation paid to senior executive officers that have received TARP assistance to determine if the compensation was inconsistent with the purposes of ARRA or TARP, or otherwise contrary to the public interest and, if so, seek to negotiate reimbursements. The provision of ARRA will apply to the Company until it has redeemed the securities sold to the Treasury under the CPP.
In addition, companies who have issued preferred stock to Treasury under TARP are now permitted to redeem such investments at any time, subject to consultation with banking regulators. Upon such redemption, the warrants may be immediately liquidated by Treasury.
Homeowners Affordability and Stability Plan
In February 2009, the Administration also announced its Financial Stability Plan and Homeowners Affordability and Stability Plan (“HASP”). The Financial Stability Plan is the second phase of TARP, to be administrated by the Treasury. Its four key elements include:
| | |
| • | the development of a public/private investment fund essentially structured as a government sponsored enterprise with the mission to purchase troubled assets from banks with an initial capitalization from government funds; |
|
| • | the Capital Assistance Program under which the Treasury will purchase additional preferred stock available only for banks that have undergone a new stress test given by their regulator; |
|
| • | an expansion of the Federal Reserve’s term asset-backed liquidity facility to support the purchase of up to $1 trillion in AAA-rated asset backed securities backed by consumer, student, and small business loans, and possible other types of loans; and |
|
| • | the establishment of a mortgage loan modification program with $50 billion in federal funds further detailed in the HASP. |
29
The HASP is a program aimed to help seven to nine million families restructure their mortgages to avoid foreclosure. The plan also develops guidance for loan modifications nationwide. HASP provides programs and funding for eligible refinancing of loans owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, along with incentives to lenders, mortgage servicers, and borrowers to modify mortgages of “responsible” homeowners who are at risk of defaulting on their mortgage. The goals of HASP are to assist in the prevention of home foreclosures and to help stabilize falling home prices.
Beyond the Company’s participation in certain programs, such as TARP, the Company will benefit from these programs if they help stabilize the national banking system and aid in the recovery of the housing market.
Legislative and Regulatory Proposals
Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the operations and taxation of, and federal insurance premiums paid by, savings banks and other financial institutions and companies that control such institutions are frequently raised in the U.S. Congress, state legislatures and before the FDIC, the OTS and other bank regulatory authorities. The likelihood of any major changes in the future and the impact such changes might have on us or our subsidiaries are impossible to determine. Similarly, proposals to change the accounting treatment applicable to savings banks and other depository institutions are frequently raised by the SEC, the federal banking agencies, the IRS and other appropriate authorities, including, among others, proposals relating to fair market value accounting for certain classes of assets and liabilities. The likelihood and impact of any additional future accounting rule changes and the impact such changes might have on us or our subsidiaries are impossible to determine at this time.
Taxation
Federal
The Corporation files a consolidated federal income tax return on behalf of itself, the Bank and its subsidiaries on a fiscal tax year basis.
The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (the “Job Protection Act”) repealed the “reserve method” of accounting for bad debts by most thrift institutions effective for the taxable years beginning after 1995. Larger thrift institutions such as the Bank are now required to use the “specific charge-off method.” The Job Protection Act also granted partial relief from reserve recapture provisions, which are triggered by the change in method. This legislation did not have a material impact on the Bank’s financial condition or results of operations.
State
Under current law, the state of Wisconsin imposes a corporate franchise tax of 7.9% on the separate taxable incomes of the members of the Corporation’s consolidated income tax group, including, pursuant to an agreement between the Corporation and the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, AIC commencing in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.
In analyzing whether to make or to continue an investment in our securities, investors should consider, among other factors, the following risk factors.
Risks Related to Our Industry
Our business may be adversely affected by current conditions in the financial markets, the real estate market and economic conditions generally.
Beginning in the latter half of 2007 and continuing into 2010, negative developments in the capital markets resulted in uncertainty and instability in the financial markets, and an economic downturn. The housing market declined, resulting in decreasing home prices and increasing delinquencies and foreclosures. The credit performance of residential and commercial real estate, construction and land loans resulted in significant write-downs of
30
asset values by financial institutions, including government-sponsored entities and major commercial and investment banks. The declines in the performance and value of mortgage assets encompassed all mortgage and real estate asset types, leveraged bank loans and nearly all other asset classes, including equity securities. These write-downs have caused many financial institutions to seek additional capital or to merge with larger and stronger institutions. Some financial institutions have failed. Continued, and potentially increased, volatility, instability and weakness could affect our ability to sell investment securities and other financial assets, which in turn could adversely affect our liquidity and financial position. This instability also could affect the prices at which we could make any such sales, which could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.
Concerns over the stability of the financial markets and the economy have resulted in decreased lending by some financial institutions to their customers and to each other. This tightening of credit has led to increased loan delinquencies, lack of customer confidence, increased market volatility and a widespread reduction in general business activity. Competition among depository institutions for deposits has increased significantly, and access to deposits or borrowed funds has decreased for many institutions. It has also become more difficult to assess the creditworthiness of customers and to estimate the losses inherent in our loan portfolio.
Current conditions, including high unemployment, weak corporate performance, soft real estate markets, and the decline of home sales and property values, could negatively affect the volume of loan originations and prepayments, the value of the real estate securing our mortgage loans, and borrowers’ ability to repay loan obligations, all of which could adversely impact our earnings and financial condition. Business activity across a wide range of industries and regions is greatly reduced, and local governments and many companies are in serious difficulty due to the lack of consumer spending and the lack of liquidity in the credit markets. A worsening of current conditions would likely adversely affect our business and results of operations, as well as those of our customers. As a result, we may experience increased foreclosures, delinquencies and customer bankruptcies, as well as more restricted access to funds.
The soundness of other financial institutions could negatively affect us.
Our ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, or other relationships. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services institutions, or the financial services industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions. Many of these transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of default of our counterparty or client. In addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by us cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the financial instrument exposure due us. There is no assurance that any such losses would not materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
Regulation by federal and state agencies could adversely affect our business, revenue, and profit margins.
We are heavily regulated by federal and state agencies. This regulation is to protect depositors, the federal deposit insurance fund and the banking system as a whole. Congress and state legislatures and federal and state regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations, and policies for possible changes. Changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies, including interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations, or policies, could affect us adversely, including limiting the types of financial services and products we may offerand/or increasing the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products. Also, if we do not comply with laws, regulations, or policies, we could receive regulatory sanctions and damage to our reputation.
Competition in the financial services industry is intense and could result in losing business or reducing margins.
We operate in a highly competitive industry that could become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes, and continued consolidation. We face aggressive competition from other domestic and foreign lending institutions and from numerous other providers of financial services. The ability of non-banking financial institutions to provide services previously limited to commercial banks has intensified
31
competition. Because non-banking financial institutions are not subject to the same regulatory restrictions as banks and bank holding companies, they can often operate with greater flexibility and lower cost structures. Securities firms and insurance companies that elect to become financial holding companies may acquire banks and other financial institutions. This may significantly change the competitive environment in which we conduct business. Some of our competitors have greater financial resourcesand/or face fewer regulatory constraints. As a result of these various sources of competition, we could lose business to competitors or be forced to price products and services on less advantageous terms to retain or attract clients, either of which would adversely affect our profitability.
We continually encounter technological change.
The financial services industry is continually undergoing rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands, as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to its customers. Failure to successfully keep pace with technological change affecting the financial services industry could have a material adverse impact on our business and, in turn, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Risks Related to Our Business
We experienced a net loss in fiscal 2010 directly attributable to a substantial deterioration in our commercial real estate, land and construction loan portfolio and the resulting increase in our provision for loan losses.
We realized a net loss of $177.1 million in fiscal 2010. The net loss is primarily the result of a $161.9 million provision to our loan loss reserve. The loan loss reserve is the amount required to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level to absorb probable loan losses. The provision for loan losses is primarily attributable to our residential construction and residential land loan portfolios, which continue to experience deterioration in estimated collateral values and repayment abilities of some of our customers. Other reasons for the level of the provision for loan losses are attributable to the continuing general weakening economic conditions and decline in real estate values in the markets served by the Corporation.
At March 31, 2010, our non-performing loans (consisting of loans past due more than 90 days, loans less than 90 days delinquent but placed on non-accrual status due to anticipated probable loss and non-accrual troubled debt restructurings) were $369.1 million compared to $227.8 million at March 31, 2009. For the year ended March 31, 2010, annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 3.30% compared to 2.60% for the corresponding period in 2009. These increases are primarily due to our construction and land portfolio.
At March 31, approximately 75% of total gross loans were classified as first mortgage loans, with approximately 3% of loans being classified as construction loans and approximately 7% being classified as land loans.
The deterioration in our commercial real estate, construction and land loan portfolios has been caused primarily by the weakening economy and the slowdown in sales of the housing market. The unemployment rate for the state of Wisconsin was 9.8% as of March 31, 2010 compared to 9.4% at March 31, 2009. With many real estate projects requiring an extended time to market, some of our borrowers have exhausted their liquidity which may require us to place their loans into non-accrual status.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our independent registered public accounting firm in its audit report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010 has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Continued operations depend on
32
our ability to meet our existing debt obligations and the financing or other capital required to do so may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. The Bank has low levels of capital, significant operating losses and significant deterioration in the quality of its assets. Further, we have become subject to enhanced regulatory scrutiny. The potential lack of sources of liquidity raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Our Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared under the assumption that we will continue our operations on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our shareholders will lose some or all of their investment.
We are actively pursuing a broad range of strategic alternatives in order to address any doubt related to the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the pursuit of strategic alternatives will result in any transaction, or that any such transaction, if consummated, will allow the Corporation’s shareholders to avoid a loss of all or substantially all of their investment in the Corporation. In addition, a transaction, which would likely involve equity financing, would result in substantial dilution to our current shareholders and could adversely affect the price of our common stock. The pursuit of strategic alternatives may also involve significant expenses and management time and attention.
The Bank may be subject to a federal conservatorship or receivership if it cannot comply with the Cease and Desist Order, the Capital Restoration Plan, the Memorandum of Understanding, or if its condition continues to deteriorate.
In June 2009, the Bank voluntarily entered into a Cease and Desist Order with the OTS which required, among other things, capital requirements in excess of the generally applicable minimum requirements. The Bank is also required to create and implement a Capital Restoration Plan. In December 2009, the Bank submitted its Capital Restoration Plan which was rejected by the OTS. The Bank was given until May, 2010 to submit another Capital Restoration Plan and there is no assurance it will be able to submit an acceptable plan or, if a plan is accepted, implement the plan. Moreover, the condition of the Bank’s loan portfolio may continue to deteriorate in the current economic environment and thus continue to deplete the Bank’s capital and other financial resources. Therefore, should the Bank fail to comply with the Cease and Desist Order or the Memorandum of Understanding, fail to implement an acceptable Capital Restoration Plan and comply with its terms, fail to comply with capital and liquidity funding requirements, or suffer a continued deterioration in its financial condition, the Bank may be subject to being placed into a federal conservatorship or receivership by the OTS, with the FDIC appointed as conservator or receiver. If these events occur, the Corporation probably would suffer a complete loss of the value of its ownership interest in the Bank, and the Corporation subsequently may be exposed to significant claims by the FDIC and the OTS.
Our business is subject to liquidity risk, and changes in our source of funds may adversely affect our performance and financial condition by increasing our cost of funds.
Our ability to make loans is directly related to our ability to secure funding. Retail deposits and core deposits are our primary source of liquidity. We also rely on advances from the FHLB of Chicago as a funding source. We have also been granted access to Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s discount window, but as of March 31, 2010 we had no borrowings outstanding from this source. In addition, as of March 31, 2010, the Corporation had outstanding borrowings from the FHLB of $613.4 million, out of our maximum borrowing capacity from the FHLB at this time of $729.7 million.
Primary uses of funds include withdrawal of and interest payments on deposits, originations of loans and payment of operating expenses. Core deposits represent a significant source of low-cost funds. Alternative funding sources such as large balance time deposits or borrowings are a comparatively higher-cost source of funds. Liquidity risk arises from the inability to meet obligations when they come due or to manage unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources. Although we believe we can continue to pursue our core deposit funding strategy successfully, significant fluctuations in core deposit balances may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
33
Concern of our customers over deposit insurance may cause a decrease in deposits.
With recent increased concerns about bank failures, customers increasingly are concerned about the extent to which their deposits are insured by the FDIC. Customers may withdraw deposits in an effort to ensure that the amount they have on deposit with their bank is fully insured. On October 14, 2008, the FDIC announced a new program, the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (the “TLGP”) where all noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts, including all personal and business checking deposit accounts, and NOW accounts, which are capped at a rate no higher than 0.50%, are fully guaranteed, through December 31, 2010, regardless of dollar amount. We have elected to participate in the program. If this program is not extended beyond December 31, 2010, we may experience a decrease in deposits. Decreases in deposits may adversely affect our funding costs, net income, and liquidity.
Our liquidity is largely dependent upon our ability to receive dividends from our subsidiary bank, which accounts for most of our revenue and could affect our ability to pay dividends, and we may be unable to enhance liquidity from other sources.
We are a separate and distinct legal entity from our subsidiaries, including the Bank. We receive substantially all of our revenue from dividends from the Bank. These dividends are the principal source of funds to pay dividends on our common stock and interest and principal on our debt. Various federaland/or state laws and regulations limit the amount of dividends that the Bank and certain of our non-bank subsidiaries may pay us. Additionally, if our subsidiaries’ earnings are not sufficient to make dividend payments to us while maintaining adequate capital levels, our ability to make dividend payments to our preferred and common shareholders will be negatively impacted. The Bank is currently precluded from paying dividends to us.
Additional increases in our level of non-performing assets would have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Weakening conditions in the real estate sector have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our loan portfolio. Non-performing assets increased by $144.1 million to $424.5 million, or 9.6% of total assets, at March 31, 2010 from $280.4 million, or 5.3% of total assets, at March 31, 2009. If loans that are currently non-performing further deteriorate, we may need to increase our allowance to cover additional charge-offs. If loans that are currently performing become non-performing, we may need to continue to increase our allowance for loan losses if additional losses are anticipated which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. The increased time and expense associated with the work out of non-performing assets and potential non-performing assets also could adversely affect our operations.
Future sales or other dilution of the Corporation’s equity may adversely affect the market price of the Corporation’s common stock.
In connection with our participation in TARP CPP the Corporation has, or under other circumstances may, issue additional common stock or preferred securities, including securities convertible or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock. Further, pursuant to the Cease and Desist order with the OTS, the Bank must meet certain capital ratios which may require the issuance of additional equity capital, which would significantly dilute the current shareholders. The market price of the Corporation’s common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of common stock, preferred stock or similar securities in the market. The issuance of additional capital stock would dilute the ownership interest of the Corporation’s existing shareholders.
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights and are subject to potential dilution.
Our articles of incorporation do not provide any shareholder with a preemptive right to subscribe for additional shares of common stock upon any increase thereof. Thus, upon the issuance of any additional shares of common stock or other voting securities of the Company or securities convertible into common stock or other voting securities, shareholders may be unable to maintain their pro rata voting or ownership interest in us.
34
On June 26, 2009, the Corporation and the Bank each consented to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist by the Office of Thrift Supervision. If we do not raise additional capital, we may not be in compliance with the capital requirements of the Bank’s Cease and Desist Order, which could have a material adverse effect upon us.
The Cease and Desist Orders required that, no later than September 30, 2009, the Bank meet and maintain both a core capital ratio equal to or greater than 7 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 11 percent. Further, no later than December 31, 2009, the Bank had to meet and maintain both a core capital ratio equal to or greater than 8 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 12 percent. At March 31, 2010, the Bank and Corporation had complied with all aspects of the Cease and Desist Orders, except that the Bank, based upon presently available unaudited financial information, had core capital and total risk-based capital ratios of 3.73 percent and 7.32 percent, respectively, each below the required capital ratios set forth above. On May 21, 2010, the Bank submitted a revised Capital Restoration Plan to the OTS and continues to comply with all other requests from the OTS with the exception of achieving the capital ratios set forth above. Without a waiver by the OTS, amendment or modification of the Orders, or acceptance of the Bank’s Capital Restoration Plan, the Bank could be subject to further regulatory action.
All customer deposits remain fully insured to the highest limits set by the FDIC.
If the Bank is placed in conservatorship or receivership, it is highly likely that such action would lead to a complete loss of all value of the Company’s ownership interest in the Bank. In addition, further restrictions could be placed on the Bank if it were determined that the Bank was significantly undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized, with increasingly greater restrictions being imposed as any level of undercapitalization increased.
Anchor Bancorp and the Bank are no longer considered “adequately capitalized” for regulatory purposes, which causes us to incur increased premiums for deposit insurance, limits the Bank’s ability to gather brokered deposits, and will trigger acceleration of certain of our brokered deposits.
As of March 31, 2010, AnchorBank is not considered “adequately capitalized” for regulatory capital purposes. As a result, the FDIC will assess higher deposit insurance premiums on the Bank, which will impact our earnings. Because the Bank is not considered “adequately capitalized”, the Bank is not able to accept new brokered deposits at this time or to renew maturing brokered deposits without FDIC approval. The Bank is also precluded from offering certificates of deposit at rates which exceed the national average from comparable certificates of deposit plus 75 basis points.
Our allowance for losses on loans and leases may not be adequate to cover probable losses.
Our level of non-performing loans increased significantly in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, relative to comparable periods for the preceding year. Our provision for loan losses decreased by $43.8 million to $161.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 from $205.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Our allowance for loan losses increased by $42.4 million to $179.6 million, or 5.2% of total loans, at March 31, 2010 from $137.2 million, or 3.3% of total loans at March 31, 2009. Our allowance for loan losses also increased by $98.9 million to $137.2 million, or 3.3% of total loans, at March 31, 2009, from $38.3 million, or 0.9% of total loans, at March 31, 2008. Our allowance for loan and foreclosure losses was 46.2% at March 31, 2010, 52.1% at March 31, 2009 and 35.0% at March 31, 2008, respectively, of non-performing assets. There can be no assurance that any future declines in real estate market conditions and values, general economic conditions or changes in regulatory policies will not require us to increase our allowance for loan and lease losses, which would adversely affect our results of operations.
Future Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments will hurt our earnings.
In May 2009, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation adopted a final rule imposing a special assessment on all insured institutions due to recent bank and savings association failures. The emergency assessment amounts to 5 basis points of total assets minus Tier 1 Capital as of June 30, 2009. We recorded an expense of $2.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, to reflect the special assessment. The assessment was collected on September 30, 2009 and was recorded against earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The special assessment negatively
35
impacted the Company’s earnings for the year ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the year ended March 31, 2009, as a result of this special assessment. In November 2009, the FDIC issued a rule that required all insured depository institutions, with limited exceptions, to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. The FDIC also adopted a uniform three-basis point increase in assessment rates effective on January 1, 2011. Any additional emergency special assessment imposed by the FDIC will likely negatively impact the Company’s earnings.
If our investment in the common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago is other than temporarily impaired, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially impaired.
The Bank owns common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (“FHLBC”). The common stock is held to qualify for membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System and to be eligible to borrow funds under the FHLBC’s advance program. The aggregate cost and fair value of our FHLBC common stock as of March 31, 2010 was $54.8 million, based on its par value. There is no market for the FHLBC common stock.
On October 10, 2007, the FHLBC entered into a consensual cease and desist order with the Federal Housing Finance Board, now known as the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”). Under the terms of the order, capital stock repurchases and redemptions, including redemptions upon membership withdrawal or other termination, are prohibited unless the FHLBC receives the prior approval of the Director of the Office of Supervision of the FHFA (the “Director”). The order also provides that dividend declarations are subject to the prior written approval of the Director and required the FHLBC to submit a capital structure plan to the FHFA. The FHLBC has not declared any dividends since the order was issued and it has not received approval of a capital structure plan. In July of 2008, the FHFA amended the order to permit the FHLBC to repurchase or redeem newly-issued capital stock to support new advances, subject to certain conditions set forth in the order. Our FHLBC common stock is not newly-issued and is not affected by this amendment.
Recent published reports indicate that certain member banks of the Federal Home Loan Bank System could have materially lower regulatory capital levels due to the application of certain accounting rules and asset quality issues. In an extreme situation, it is possible that the capitalization of a Federal Home Loan Bank, including the FHLBC, could be substantially diminished or reduced to zero. Our FHLBC common stock is accounted for in accordance with the authoritative guidance for financial services — depository and lending (ASC942-325-35). This guidance provides that, for impairment testing purposes, the value of long term investments such as FHLBC common stock is based on the “ultimate recoverability” of the par value of the security without regard to temporary declines in value. Consequently, if events occur that give rise to substantial doubt about the ultimate recoverability of the par value of our FHLBC common stock, this investment could be deemed to beother-than-temporarily impaired, and the impairment loss that would be required to be recorded would cause our earnings to decrease by the after-tax amount of the impairment loss.
We are not paying dividends on our common stock and are deferring distributions on our preferred stock, and are otherwise restricted from paying cash dividends on our common stock. The failure to resume paying dividends may adversely affect us.
We historically paid cash dividends before suspending dividend payments on our common stock. The Federal Reserve, as a matter of policy, has indicated that bank holding companies should not pay dividends using funds from TARP CPP. There is no assurance that we will resume paying cash dividends. Even if we resume paying dividends, future payment of cash dividends on our common stock, if any, will be subject to the prior payment of all unpaid dividends and deferred distributions on our Series B Preferred Stock held by the U.S. Treasury. Further, we need prior Treasury approval to increase our quarterly cash dividends prior to January 30, 2012, or until the date we redeem all shares of Series B Preferred Stock or the Treasury has transferred all shares of Series B Preferred Stock to third parties. All dividends are declared and paid at the discretion of our board of directors and are dependent upon our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant.
Further, dividend payments on our Series B Preferred Stock are cumulative and therefore unpaid dividends and distributions will accrue and compound on each subsequent dividend payment date. In the event of any liquidation,
36
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of our company, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive for each share of Series B Preferred Stock the liquidation amount plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends. If we defer six quarterly dividend payments, whether or not consecutive, the Treasury will have the right to appoint two directors to our board of directors until all accrued but unpaid dividends have been paid. We have deferred five dividend payments on the Series B Preferred Stock held by the Treasury.
Maintaining or increasing market share depends on market acceptance and regulatory approval of new products and services.
Our success depends, in part, on the ability to adapt products and services to evolving industry standards. There is increasing pressure to provide products and services at lower prices. This can reduce net interest income and noninterest income from fee-based products and services. In addition, the widespread adoption of new technologies could require us to make substantial capital expenditures to modify or adapt existing products and services or develop new products and services. We may not be successful in introducing new products and services in response to industry trends or development in technology or those new products may not achieve market acceptance. As a result, we could lose business, be forced to price products and services on less advantageous terms to retain or attract clients, or be subject to cost increases.
We may fail to meet continued listing requirements with NASDAQ.
Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market. As a NASDAQ listed company, we are required to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Market Place Rules to maintain our listing status which includes maintaining a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for our common stock. We were notified by NASDAQ on June 24, 2010 of our non-compliance with listing standards because the bid price of our common stock closed below the required minimum $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days. We regained compliance with the NASDAQ listing requirements but there is no guarantee we will remain compliant. If we are unable to remain compliant, our common stock could be delisted by NASDAQ. Delisting could reduce the ability of investors to purchase or sell our common stock as quickly and as inexpensively as they have done historically.
Continued deterioration in the real estate markets or other segments of our loan portfolio could lead to additional losses, which could have a material negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The commercial real estate market continues to experience a variety of difficulties. As a result of increased levels of commercial and consumer delinquencies and declining real estate values, which reduce the customer’s borrowing power and the value of the collateral securing the loan, we have experienced increasing levels of charge-offs and provisions for loan losses. Continued increases in delinquency levels or continued declines in real estate values, which cause our borrowers’loan-to-value ratios to increase, could result in additional charge-offs and provisions for loan losses. This could have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.
Significant legal actions could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities.
We are from time to time subject to claims related to our operations. These claims and legal actions, including supervisory actions by our regulators, could involve large monetary claims and significant defense costs. Substantial legal liability or significant regulatory action against us could have material adverse financial effects or cause significant reputational harm to us, which in turn could seriously harm our business prospects. We may be exposed to substantial uninsured liabilities, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
While we attempt to manage the risk from changes in market interest rates, interest rate risk management techniques are not exact. In addition, we may not be able to economically hedge our interest rate risk. A rapid or substantial increase or decrease in interest rates could adversely affect our net interest income and results of operations.
Our net income depends primarily upon our net interest income. Net interest income is income that remains after deducting, from total income generated by earning assets, the interest expense attributable to the acquisition of
37
the funds required to support earning assets. Income from earning assets includes income from loans, investment securities and short-term investments. The amount of interest income is dependent on many factors, including the volume of earning assets, the general level of interest rates, the dynamics of changes in interest rates and the level of nonperforming loans. The cost of funds varies with the amount of funds required to support earning assets, the rates paid to attract and hold deposits, rates paid on borrowed funds and the levels of non-interest-bearing demand deposits and equity capital.
Different types of assets and liabilities may react differently, and at different times, to changes in market interest rates. We expect that we will periodically experience “gaps” in the interest rate sensitivities of our assets and liabilities. That means either our interest-bearing liabilities will be more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than our interest earning assets, or vice versa. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest earning assets, an increase in market rates of interest could reduce our net interest income. Likewise, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could reduce net interest income. We are unable to predict changes in market interest rates which are affected by many factors beyond our control including inflation, recession, unemployment, money supply, domestic and international events and changes in the United States and other financial markets. Based on our net interest income simulation model, if market interest rates were to increase immediately by 100 or 200 basis points (a parallel and immediate shift of the yield curve) net interest income would be expected to increase by 7.07% and 13.49%, respectively, from what it would be if rates were to remain at March 31, 2010 levels. The actual amount of any increase or decrease may be higher or lower than that predicted by our simulation model. The output from our simulation model has not been validated or back tested against actual movements in market interest rates. We are unable to say with any degree of certainty that the modeled simulation of our net interest income would be a fair approximation of the actual change in net interest income given if one or more of the market scenarios we examine had actually occurred. Net interest income is not only affected by the level and direction of interest rates, but also by the shape of the yield curve, credit spreads, relationships between interest sensitive instruments and key driver rates, balance sheet growth, client loan and deposit preferences and the timing of changes in these variables.
An interruption in or breach in security of our information systems may result in a loss of customer business.
We rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our business. Any failure or interruptions or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in our customer relationship management, general ledger, deposits, servicing, or loan origination systems. The occurrence of any failures, interruptions or security breaches of information systems used to process customer transactions could damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Additionally, we outsource a portion of our data processing to a third party. If our third party provider encounters difficulties or if we have difficulty in communicating with such third party, it will significantly affect our ability to adequately process and account for customer transactions, which would significantly affect our business operations. Furthermore, breaches of such third party’s technology may also cause reimbursable loss to our consumer and business customers, through no fault of our own.
Management regularly reviews and updates our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
38
Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other external events could significantly impact our business.
Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other adverse external events could have a significant impact on our ability to conduct business. Such events could affect the stability of our deposit base; impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral securing loans, cause significant property damage, result in loss of revenueand/or cause us to incur additional expenses. Although management has established disaster recovery policies and procedures and is insured for these situations, the occurrence of any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are exposed to risk of environmental liabilities with respect to properties to which it takes title.
In the course of our business, we may own or foreclose and take title to real estate, and could be subject to environmental liabilities with respect to these properties. We may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage, personal injury, investigation andclean-up costs incurred by these parties in connection with environmental contamination, or may be required to investigate or clean up hazardous or toxic substances, or chemical releases at a property. The costs associated with investigation or remediation activities could be substantial. In addition, as the owner or former owner of a contaminated site, we may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the property. If we ever become subject to significant environmental liabilities, our business, financial condition, cash flows, liquidity and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Credit Agreement
We are party to a credit agreement that requires us to observe certain covenants that limit our flexibility in operating our business.
We are party to a credit agreement, dated as of June 9, 2008, by and among the Corporation, the financial institutions from time to time party to the agreement and U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent for the lenders, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”). The most recent amendment, Amendment No. 6 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was dated April 29, 2010. The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with affirmative and negative covenants customary for restricted indebtedness. These covenants limit our ability to, among other things:
| | |
| • | incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; |
|
| • | pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; |
|
| • | make certain investments; |
|
| • | sell certain assets; and |
|
| • | consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets. |
The Credit Agreement provides that the Bank must attain and maintain certain capital ratios and requires us to retain a financial consult, as well as other customary representations, warranties, conditions and events of default for agreements of such type. The Agent and the lenders have certain rights, including the right to accelerate the maturity of the borrowings if all covenants are not complied with. Further, the Agent or the lenders have agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies until the earlier of (i) the occurrence of an event of default, as that term is defined in the Amendment, other than failure to make principal payments, or (ii) May 31, 2011.
If the lenders under the secured credit facilities accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to make the payments when due.
Accordingly, this creates significant uncertainty related to the Corporation’s operations.
39
We must pay in full the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement by the earlier of May 31, 2011 or the receipt of net proceeds of a financing transaction from the sale of equity securities.
As of March 31, 2010, the total revolving loan commitment under the Credit Agreement was $116.3 million and aggregate borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $116.3 million. We must pay in full the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement by the earlier of May 31, 2011 or the receipt of net proceeds of a financing transaction from the sale of equity securities of not less than $116.3 million. If the net proceeds are received from the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the terms of such investment prohibit the use of the investment proceeds to repay senior debt, then no payment is required from the Treasury investment. As of the date of this filing, we do not have sufficient cash on hand to reduce our outstanding borrowings to zero. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient capital or have sufficient cash on hand to reduce our outstanding borrowings to zero by May 31, 2011, which may limit our ability to fund ongoing operations.
Unless the maturity date is extended, our outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement are due on May 31, 2011. The Credit Agreement does not include a commitment to refinance the remaining outstanding balance of the loans when they mature and there is no guarantee that our lenders will renew their loans at that time. Refusal to provide us with renewals or refinancing opportunities would cause our indebtedness to become immediately due and payable upon the contractual maturity of such indebtedness, which could result in our insolvency if we are unable to repay the debt.
If the Agent or the lenders decided not to refinance the remaining outstanding balance of the loans then at the earlier of (i) the occurrence of an event of default under the Amendment (other than a failure to make principal payments), or (ii) May 31, 2011, the agent, on behalf of the lenders may, among other remedies, seize the outstanding shares of the Bank’s capital stock held by the Corporation or other securities or assets of the Corporation’s subsidiaries which have been pledged as collateral for borrowings under the Credit Agreement. If the Agent were to take one or more of these actions, it could have a material adverse affect on our reputation, operations and ability to continue as a going concern, and you could lose your investment in the securities.
If we are unable to renew, replace or expand our sources of financing on acceptable terms, it may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations and our ability to make distributions to shareholders. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive, and any holders of preferred stock that is currently outstanding and that we may issue in the future may receive, a distribution of our available assets prior to holders of our common stock. The decisions by investors and lenders to enter into equity and financing transactions with us will depend upon a number of factors, including our historical and projected financial performance, compliance with the terms of our current credit arrangements, industry and market trends, the availability of capital and our investors’ and lenders’ policies and rates applicable thereto, and the relative attractiveness of alternative investment or lending opportunities.
Risks Related to Recent Branch Sales
We may fail to complete the proposed sale of four branches to Nicolet National Bank of Green Bay or realize the anticipated benefits of the disposition.
The proposed sale of four branches to Nicolet National Bank of Green Bay are subject to a variety of conditions, including regulatory approvals for both the Bank and buyers. All regulatory applications have been filed with the appropriate regulators. The regulators may not grant these approvals as we anticipate, or the approvals may require material changes to the terms of the sale or otherwise contain material adverse conditions that would preclude closing the sale. Further, the parties may be unable to satisfy all the closing conditions. Even if we sell the braches as we expect, we may not realize the anticipated benefits to our capital and earnings.
40
Risks Related to Recent Market, Legislative and Regulatory Events
The TARP CPP and the ARRA impose certain executive compensation and corporate governance requirements that may adversely affect us and our business, including our ability to recruit and retain qualified employees.
The purchase agreement we entered into in connection with our participation in the TARP CPP required us to adopt the Treasury’s standards for executive compensation and corporate governance while the Treasury holds the equity issued pursuant to the TARP CPP, including the common stock which may be issued pursuant to the warrant to purchase 7,399,103 shares of common stock. These standards generally apply to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and the three next most highly compensated senior executive officers. The standards include:
| | |
| • | ensuring that incentive compensation for senior executives does not encourage unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the financial institution; |
|
| • | requiring clawbacks of any bonus or incentive compensation paid to a senior executive based on statements of earnings, gains or other criteria that are later proven to be materially inaccurate; |
|
| • | prohibiting golden parachute payments to senior executives; and |
|
| • | agreeing not to deduct for tax purposes executive compensation in excess of $500,000 for each senior executive. |
In particular, the change to the deductibility limit on executive compensation may increase the overall cost of our compensation programs in future periods.
ARRA imposed further limitations on compensation during the TARP Assistance Period including
| | |
| • | a prohibition on making any golden parachute payment to a senior executive officer or any of our next five most highly compensated employees; |
|
| • | a prohibition on any compensation plan that would encourage manipulation of the reported earnings to enhance the compensation of any of its employees; and |
|
| • | a prohibition of the five highest paid executives from receiving or accruing any bonus, retention award, or incentive compensation, or bonus except for long-term restricted stock with a value not greater than one-third of the total amount of annual compensation of the employee receiving the stock. |
The prohibition may expand to other employees based on increases in the aggregate value of financial assistance that we receive in the future.
The Treasury released an interim final rule on TARP standards for compensation and corporate governance on June 10, 2009, which implemented and further expanded the limitations and restrictions imposed on executive compensation and corporate governance by the TARP CPP and ARRA. The new Treasury interim final rules, which became effective on June 15, 2009, also prohibit any taxgross-up payments to senior executive officers and the next 20 highest paid executives. The rule further authorizes the Treasury to establish the Office of the Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation with broad powers to review compensation plans and corporate governance matters of TARP CPP recipients.
These provisions and any future rules issued by the Treasury could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain management capable and motivated sufficiently to manage and operate our business through difficult economic and market conditions. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified employees to manage and operate our business, we may not be able to successfully execute our business strategy.
TARP lending goals may not be attainable.
Congress and the bank regulators have encouraged recipients of TARP CPP capital to use such capital to make loans and it may not be possible to safely, soundly and profitably make sufficient loans to creditworthy persons in the current economy to satisfy such goals. Congressional demands for additional lending by TARP CPP recipients, and regulatory demands for demonstrating and reporting such lending are increasing. On November 12, 2008, the
41
bank regulatory agencies issued a statement encouraging banks to, among other things, “lend prudently and responsibly to creditworthy borrowers” and to “work with borrowers to preserve homeownership and avoid preventable foreclosures.” We continue to lend and have expanded our mortgage loan originations, and to report our lending to the Treasury. The future demands for additional lending are unclear and uncertain, and we could be forced to make loans that involve risks or terms that we would not otherwise find acceptable or in our shareholders’ best interest. Such loans could adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition, and may be in conflict with bank regulations and requirements as to liquidity and capital. The profitability of funding such loans using deposits may be adversely affected by increased FDIC insurance premiums.
The Company and the Bank are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by federal banking authorities.
Changes in applicable regulations or legislation could have a substantial impact on our operations. Additional legislation and regulations that could significantly affect our powers, authority and operations may be enacted or adopted in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In that regard, proposals for legislation restructuring the regulation of the financial services industry are currently under consideration. Adoption of such proposals could, among other things, increase the overall costs of regulatory compliance. Further, regulators have significant discretion and authority to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of laws or regulations by financial institutions and holding companies in the performance of their supervisory and enforcement duties. These powers recently have been utilized more frequently due to the serious national, regional and local economic conditions that we and other financial institutions are facing. The exercise of regulatory authority may have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations. We cannot predict the actual effects of various governmental, regulatory, monetary and fiscal initiatives, which have been and may be enacted on the financial markets. The terms and costs of these activities, or the failure of these actions to help stabilize the financial markets, asset prices, market liquidity, and a continuation or worsening of current financial market and economic conditions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock. In addition, failure or the inability to comply with these various requirements can lead to diminished reputation and investor confidence, reduced franchise value, loss of business, curtailment of expansion opportunities, fines and penalties, intervention or sanctions by regulators and costly litigation or expensive additional controls and systems.
There can be no assurance that enacted legislation or any proposed federal programs will stabilize the U.S. financial system and such legislation and programs may adversely affect us.
There has been much legislative and regulatory action in response to the financial crises affecting the banking system and financial markets and threats to investment banks and other financial institutions. There can be no assurance, however, as to the actual impact that the legislation and its implementing regulations or any other governmental program will have on the financial markets. The failure of the actions by the legislators, the regulatory bodies or the U.S. government to stabilize the financial markets and a continuation or worsening of current financial market conditions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and access to credit or the trading price of our common shares.
Contemplated and proposed legislation, state and federal programs, and increased government control or influence may adversely affect us by increasing the uncertainty in our lending operations and expose us to increased losses, including legislation that would allow bankruptcy courts to permit modifications to mortgage loans on a debtor’s primary residence, moratoriums on a mortgagor’s right to foreclose on property, and requirements that fees be paid to register other real estate owned property. Statutes and regulations may be altered that may potentially increase our costs to service and underwrite mortgage loans. Additionally, federal intervention and operation of formerly private institutions may adversely affect our rights under contracts with such institutions and the way in which we conduct business in certain markets.
42
The fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies could have a material adverse effect on our earnings.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System regulates the supply of money and credit in the United States. Its policies determine in large part the cost of funds for lending and investing and the return earned on those loans and investments, both of which affect the net interest margin. The resultant changes in interest rates can also materially decrease the value of certain financial assets we hold, such as debt securities. Its policies can also adversely affect borrowers, potentially increasing the risk that they may fail to repay their loans. Changes in Federal Reserve Board policies are beyond our control and difficult to predict; consequently, the impact of these changes on our activities and results of operations is difficult to predict.
Management’s ability to retain key officers and employees may change.
Our future operating results depend substantially upon the continued service of its executive officers and key personnel. Our future operating results also depend in significant part upon its ability to attract and retain qualified management, financial, technical, marketing, sales and support personnel. Competition for qualified personnel is intense, and we cannot ensure success in attracting or retaining qualified personnel. There may be only a limited number of persons with the requisite skills to serve in these positions, and it may be increasingly difficult for us to hire personnel over time.
Our ability to retain key officers and employees may be further impacted by legislation and regulation affecting the financial services industry. For example, Section 7001 of the ARRA which amended Section 111 of the EESA in its entirety, as well as the final interim regulations issued by the U.S. Treasury, significantly expanded the executive compensation restrictions. Such restrictions applied to us as a participant in the TARP CPP and generally continued to apply for as long as any Treasury owned shares were outstanding. These ARRA restrictions shall not apply to us during such time when the federal government only holds warrants to purchase common shares. Such restrictions and standards may further impact management’s ability to compete with financial institutions that are not subject to the ARRA limitations on executive compensation.
Our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by the loss of any of its key employees, or our inability to attract and retain skilled employees.
We are subject to various reporting requirements that increase compliance costs, and failure to comply timely could adversely affect our reputation and the value of our common stock.
We are required to comply with various corporate governance and financial reporting requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Corporation Accounting Oversight Board and Nasdaq. In particular, we are required to include management and independent auditor reports on internal controls as part of our Annual Report onForm 10-K pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect to continue to spend significant amounts of time and money on compliance with these rules. In addition, pursuant to our Cease and Desist Order with OTS, we must prepare and submit various reports and may face further reporting obligations in the future depending upon our financial condition. Compliance with various regulatory reporting requires significant commitments of time from management and our directors, which reduces the time available for the performance of their other responsibilities. Our failure to track and comply with the various rules may materially adversely affect our reputation, ability to obtain the necessary certifications to financial statements, lead to additional regulatory enforcement actions, and could adversely affect the value of our common stock.
Non-compliance with USA PATRIOT Act, Bank Secrecy Act, or other laws and regulations could result in fines or sanctions, and curtail expansion opportunities
Financial institutions are required under the USA PATRIOT and Bank Secrecy Acts to develop programs to prevent financial institutions from being used for money laundering and terrorist activities. Financial institutions are also obligated to file suspicious activity reports with the U.S. Treasury’s office of Financial Crimes Enforcement Network if such activities are detected. These rules also require financial institutions to establish procedures for identifying and verifying the identity of customers seeking to open new financial accounts. Failure or the inability to
43
comply with these regulations could result in fines or penalties, curtailment of expansion opportunities, intervention or sanctions by regulators and costly litigation or expensive additional controls and systems. During the last few years, several banking institutions have received large fines for non-compliance with these laws and regulations. We have developed policies and continues to augment procedures and systems designed to assist in compliance with these laws and regulations.

Item 1B. | Unresolved Staff Comments. |
None
At March 31, 2010, the Bank conducted its business from its headquarters and main office at 25 West Main Street, Madison, Wisconsin and 70 other full-service offices and two loan origination offices. The Bank owns 44 of its full-service offices, leases the land on which four such offices are located, and leases the remaining 23 full-service offices. The Bank also owns a building at its headquarters which hosts its support center, one vacant lot for sale as well as three land sites for future development. In addition, the Bank leases its two loan-origination facilities. The leases expire between 2010 and 2030. The aggregate net book value at March 31, 2010 of the properties owned or leased, including headquarters, properties and leasehold improvements, was $32.3 million. See Note 9 to the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, for information regarding premises and equipment.

Item 7. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Set forth below is a discussion and analysis of the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations, including information on the Corporation’s asset/liability management strategies, sources of liquidity and capital resources and significant accounting policies. Management is required to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, actual results could differ from the estimates, assumptions, and judgments reflected in the financial statements. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Management believes the following policies are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require subjective or complex judgments; therefore, management considers the following to be critical accounting policies. Management has reviewed the application of these polices with the Audit Committee of our board of directors. Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and supplemental data contained elsewhere in this report.
Critical Accounting Policies
There are a number of accounting policies that require the use of judgment. Some of the more significant policies are as follows:
| | |
| • | Declines in the fair value ofheld-to-maturity andavailable-for-sale securities below their amortized cost that are deemed to be other than temporary due to credit loss are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimatingother-than-temporary impairment losses on debt securities, management considers many factors which include: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. To determine if another-than-temporary impairment exists on a debt security, the Corporation first determines if (a) it intends to sell the security or (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of the conditions is met, the Corporation will recognize another-than-temporary impairment in earnings equal to the difference between the fair value of the security and its adjusted cost. If neither of the conditions is met, the Corporation determines (a) the amount of the impairment related to credit loss and (b) the amount of the impairment due to all other factors. The difference between the present values of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis is the credit loss. The credit loss is the amount of theother-than-temporary impairment that is recognized in earnings and is a reduction to the cost basis of the security. The amount of total impairment related to all other factors is included in other comprehensive income (loss). |
|
| • | The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable and inherent losses incurred in the loan portfolio. The allowance is comprised of both a specific and general component. Specific allowances are provided on impaired loans pursuant to accounting standards. The general allowance is based on historical loss experience, adjusted for qualitative and environmental factors pursuant toASC 450-2 “Loss Contingencies” and other related regulatory guidance. At least quarterly, we review the assumptions and methodology related to the general allowance in an effort to update and refine the estimate. |
In determining the general allowance we have segregated the loan portfolio by collateral type. By doing so we are better able to identify trends in borrower behavior and loss severity. For each collateral type, we compute a historical loss factor. In determining the appropriate period of activity to use in computing the historical loss factor we look at trends in quarterly net charge-off ratios. It is our intention to utilize a period of activity that we believe to be most reflective of current experience. Changes in the historical period are made when there is a distinct change in the trend of net charge-off experience. Given the changes in the credit market that have occurred in fiscal years 2009 and 2010, management reviewed each strata’s historical losses by quarter for any trends that would indicate a shorter look back period would be more representative. Based on this review, it was determined that increases in charge-offs in the more recent
48
quarters were being diluted by minimal charge-offs in the earlier quarters for each strata except acquisitions and development. As a result, a twelve quarter historical loss period was used for these stratas, versus a 20 quarter historical loss period, as it was determined to be more representative of the current credit market.
In addition to the historical loss factor, we consider the impact of the following qualitative factors: changes in lending policies, procedures and practices, economic and industry trends and conditions, experience, ability and depth of lending management, level of and trends in past dues and delinquent loans, changes in the quality of the loan review system, changes in the value of the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans, changes in credit concentrations, portfolio size and other external factors such as legal and regulatory. In determining the impact, if any, of an individual qualitative factor, we compare the current underlying facts and circumstances surrounding a particular factor with those in the historical periods, adjusting the historical loss factor in a directionally consistent manner with changes in the qualitative factor. We will continue to analyze the qualitative factors on a quarterly basis, adjusting the historical loss factor both up and down, to a factor we believe is appropriate for the probable and inherent risk of loss in our portfolio.
Specific allowances are determined as a result of our loan review process. When a loan is identified as impaired it is evaluated for loss using either the fair value of collateral less selling costs or a discounted cash flow analysis as a determinant of fair value. If fair value exceeds the Bank’s carrying value of the loan no loss is anticipated and no specific reserve is established. However, if the Bank’s carrying value of the loan is greater than fair value a specific reserve is established. In either situation, loans identified as impaired are excluded from the calculation of the general reserve.
We regularly obtain updated appraisals for real estate collateral dependent loans for which we deem it appropriate to assess whether or not a specific asset is impaired. Loans having unpaid principal balance of $500,000 or less and considered to be include in a homogenous pool of assets do not require an impairment analysis therefore updated appraisals are not obtained until the foreclosure or sheriff sale occurs. Due to certain limitations, including, but not limited to, the availability of qualified appraisers, the time necessary to complete acceptable appraisals, the availability of comparable market data and information, and other considerations, in certain instances current appraisals are not readily available. The fair value of such loans for which current and acceptable appraisals are not available is approximately $51 million based on the Corporation’s best estimate of fair value, discounted at various rates depending on the collateral type.
Collateral dependent loans are considered to be non-performing at such time that they become ninety days past due or a probable loss is expected. At the time a loan is determined to be non-performing it is downgraded per the Corporation’s loan rating system, it is placed on non-accrual, and an allowance consistent with the Corporation’s historical experience for similar “substandard” loans is established. Within ninety days of this determination a comprehensive analysis of the loans is completed, including ordering new appraisals, where necessary, and an adjustment to the estimated allowance is recognized to reflect the fair value of the loan based on the underlying collateral or the discounted cash flows. Until such date at which an updated appraisal is obtained, when deemed necessary, the Corporation applies discounts to the existing appraisals in estimating the fair value of collateral. These discounts are 25 percent on commercial real estate and 35 percent on unimproved land. These discount percentages are based on actual experience over the past nine month period. If the appraisal is within one year, the Corporation applies a discount of 15 percent. The Corporation believes these discounts reflect market factors, the locations in which the collateral is located and the estimated cost to dispose.
We consider the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2010 to be at an acceptable level. Although we believe that we have established and maintained the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level, changes may be necessary if future economic and other conditions differ substantially from the current environment. Although we use the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.
| | |
| • | Real estate acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure and other repossessed assets, upon initial recognition, is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling expenses. Each parcel of real estate owned is appraised within six months of the time of acquisition of such property and periodically |
49
| | |
| | thereafter. At the date of foreclosure any write down to fair value less estimated selling costs is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property are capitalized; holding period costs and subsequent changes to the valuation allowance are charged to expense. Foreclosed properties and repossessed assets are re-measured at fair value after initial recognition through the use of a valuation allowance on foreclosed assets. The value may be adjusted based on a new appraisal or as a result of an adjustment to the sale price of the property. |
| | |
| • | Mortgage servicing rights are established on loans that are originated and subsequently sold with servicing retained. A portion of the loan’s book basis is allocated to mortgage servicing rights at the time of sale. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is the present value of estimated future net cash flows from the servicing relationship using current market participant assumptions for prepayments or defaults, servicing costs and other factors. As the loans are repaid and net servicing revenue is earned, mortgage servicing rights are amortized into expense. Net servicing revenues are expected to exceed this amortization expense. However, if actual prepayment experience or defaults exceed what was originally anticipated, net servicing revenues may be less than expected and mortgage servicing rights may be impaired. Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. |
|
| • | The Corporation provides for federal income taxes with a deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset computed by applying the current statutory tax rates to net taxable or deductible differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future periods. The Corporation regularly reviews the carrying amount of its deferred tax assets to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary. If based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Corporation’s deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods, a deferred tax valuation allowance would be established. Consideration is given to various positive and negative factors that could affect the realization of the deferred tax assets. |
In evaluating this available evidence, management considers, among other things, historical financial performance, expectation of future earnings, the ability to carry back losses to recoup taxes previously paid, length of statutory carry forward periods, experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, tax planning strategies and timing of reversals of temporary differences. Significant judgment is required in assessing future earning trends and the timing of reversals of temporary differences. The Corporation’s evaluation is based on current tax laws as well as management’s expectations of future performance.
As a result of its evaluation, the Corporation has recorded a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset.

Segment Review
The Corporation’s primary reportable segment is community banking. Community banking consists of lending and deposit gathering (as well as other banking-related products and services) to businesses, governments and consumers and the support to deliver, fund and manage such banking services. The Corporation’s real estate segment invested in real estate developments. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, IDI sold its interest in several limited partnerships as well as substantially all of its remaining assets. The assets that remain at IDI include an equity interest in one commercial real estate property and one real estate development along with various notes receivable.
50
The Corporation’s profitability is predominantly dependent on net interest income, non-interest income, the level of the provision for loan losses, non-interest expense and taxes of its community banking segment. The following table sets forth the results of operations of the Corporation’s segments for the periods indicated.

Results of Operations
Comparison of Years Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
General. Net income increased $53.7 million to a net loss of $177.1 million in fiscal 2010 from net loss of $230.8 million in fiscal 2009. The primary component of this increase in earnings for fiscal 2010, as compared to fiscal 2009, was a decrease in non-interest expense of $67.7 million, due to a $72.2 million impairment of goodwill in the prior year. The increase in net income was also attributable to a $43.8 million decrease in the provision for loan losses. In addition, non-interest income increased $10.8 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net interest income of $40.0 million and a decrease in income tax benefit of $28.6 million. An allowance of $71.3 million was placed on the deferred tax asset during the year ended March 31, 2010. A full valuation allowance has been recorded on the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of the Corporation to create sufficient taxable income in the near future to fully utilize it. The returns on average assets and average stockholders’ equity for fiscal 2010 were (3.67)% and (158.84)%, respectively, as compared to (4.65)% and (77.05)%, respectively, for fiscal 2009.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased by $40.0 million during fiscal 2010 due to the decline in yield on interest earning assets which was offset by the decreased cost of interest bearing liabilities. The primary factor that contributed to the decline in net interest income was the fact that approximately $12.7 million of interest income on nonaccrual loans was reversed when the loans were placed on nonaccrual status. The average balances of interest-earning assets decreased to $4.58 billion and the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased to $4.69 billion in fiscal 2010, from $4.62 billion and $4.61 billion, respectively, in fiscal 2009. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.98 in fiscal 2010 from 1.00 in fiscal
53
2009. The average yield on interest-earning assets (4.74% in fiscal 2010 versus 5.63% in fiscal 2009) decreased, as did the average cost on interest-bearing liabilities (2.82% in fiscal 2010 versus 2.94% in fiscal 2009). The net interest margin decreased to 1.85% in fiscal 2010 from 2.70% in fiscal 2009 and the interest rate spread decreased to 1.92% from 2.69% in fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in interest rate spread was reflective of a decrease in the yields on loans as interest rates decreased, which was slightly offset by a smaller decrease in the cost of funds. These factors are reflected in the analysis of changes in net interest income arising from changes in the volume of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and the rates earned and paid on such assets and liabilities as set forth under “Rate/Volume Analysis” below. The analysis indicates that the decrease of $40.0 million in net interest income stemmed from net rate/volume decreases in interest-earning assets of $43.2 million offset by the net rate/volume decreases of interest- bearing liabilities of $3.2 million.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses decreased $43.8 million from $205.7 million in fiscal 2009 to $161.9 million in fiscal 2010 based on management’s ongoing evaluation of asset quality. This charge reflected a decrease in provision to $161.9 million during the year allocated between specific reserves on impaired credits and an increase to the general reserve. The decrease in provision and specific and general reserves was in response to the following trends identified in the portfolio: (i) a proactive method of identification of criticized assets and (ii) continued analysis of the commercial real estate, construction and land portfolios. These increases resulted in the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses increasing $42.4 million from $137.2 million at March 31, 2009 to $179.6 million at March 31, 2010. The allowance for loan losses represented 5.23% of total loans at March 31, 2010, as compared to 3.34% of total loans at March 31, 2009. For further discussion of the allowance for loan losses, see “Financial Condition — Allowance for Loan and Foreclosure Losses.”
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 in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at adequate levels to provide for probable and estimable future 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 multi-family and commercial loan portfolios increase, additional provisions would likely be added to the loan loss allowance as they carry a higher risk of loss.
Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased $10.9 million to $56.8 million for fiscal 2010 compared to $45.9 million for fiscal 2009 primarily due to the increase of net gain on sale of investment securities of $14.4 million for fiscal 2010. In addition, net gain on sale of loans increased $7.9 million due to an increase in refinancing activity. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in other categories. Income from the Corporation’s real estate segment decreased $8.6 million and other non-interest income decreased $1.1 million primarily due to decreased fee income.
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $67.7 million to $158.2 million for fiscal 2010 compared to $225.9 million for fiscal 2009 primarily due to a $72.2 million impairment of goodwill and a $17.6 million impairment of real estate in the prior year. In addition, expenses of the real estate segment decreased $6.3 million, mortgage servicing rights impairment expense decreased $4.3 million and compensation expense decreased $3.4 million. These decreases were offset by an increase in federal deposit insurance premiums of $14.7 million, an increase in other non-interest expense of $9.4 million due to increased legal and consulting fees, an increase in net expense of REO operations of $8.8 million and an increase in the impairment of foreclosure cost advances of $4.7 million due to the fact that previously capitalized foreclosure cost advances were deemed unrecoverable.
Real Estate Segment. Net income generated by the real estate segment increased $15.6 million for fiscal 2010 to a net loss of $2.8 million from a net loss of $18.4 million in fiscal 2009. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, IDI sold its interest in several limited partnerships as well as substantially all of its remaining assets, which included some developed lots. The assets that remain at IDI include an equity interest in one commercial real estate property and one real estate development along with various notes receivable.
54
Non-Controlling Interests. Non-controlling interest in income (loss) of real estate partnership operations represents the share of income of development partners in the Corporation’s real estate investment partnerships. Such non-controlling interest increased $148,000 from a loss of $148,000 in fiscal 2009 to zero in fiscal 2010.
For more information on the effects to the consolidated operations of the Corporation, see “Real Estate Held for Development and Sale and Variable Interest Entities,” in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Income Taxes. Income tax benefit decreased $28.6 million for fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2010 was (0.84)% as compared to (11.65)% for fiscal 2009. The decline in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the valuation allowance of $71.3 million placed on the deferred tax asset during the year ended March 31, 2010. A full valuation allowance has been recorded on the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of the Corporation to create sufficient taxable income in the near future to fully utilize it. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Comparison of Years Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
General. Net income decreased $261.5 million to a loss of $230.8 million in fiscal 2009 from net income of $30.7 million in fiscal 2008. The primary component of this decrease in earnings for fiscal 2009, as compared to fiscal 2008, was a $183.2 million increase in the provision for loan losses. The decrease in net income was also attributable to an increase in non-interest expense of $118.7 million, primarily due to a $72.2 million write down of goodwill due to impairment. In addition, non-interest income decreased $5.2 million and net interest income decreased $4.2 million. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense of $49.7 million. An allowance of $46.3 million was placed on the deferred tax asset during the year ended March 31, 2009. A valuation allowance was recognized because it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The remaining deferred tax asset is realizable due to the ability to carry back losses to prior years, future reversals of existing temporary differences, and the expectation of future taxable income. The returns on average assets and average stockholders’ equity for fiscal 2009 were (4.65)% and (77.05)%, respectively, as compared to 0.63% and 9.17%, respectively, for fiscal 2008.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased by $4.2 million during fiscal 2009 due to the decreased cost of interest bearing liabilities which was offset by the decline in yield on interest earning assets. Factors that contributed to the decline in net interest income were the fact that approximately $5.6 million of interest income on nonaccrual loans was reversed when the loans were placed on nonaccrual status. The average balances of interest-earning assets decreased to $4.62 billion and the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased to $4.61 billion in fiscal 2009, from $4.75 billion and $4.60 billion, respectively, in fiscal 2008. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.00 in fiscal 2009 from 1.03 in fiscal 2008. The average yield on interest-earning assets (5.63% in fiscal 2009 versus 6.25% in fiscal 2008) decreased, as did the average cost on interest-bearing liabilities (2.94% in fiscal 2009 versus 3.65% in fiscal 2008). The net interest margin decreased to 2.70% in fiscal 2009 from 2.72% in fiscal 2008 and the interest rate spread increased to 2.69% from 2.60% in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in interest rate spread was reflective of a decrease in the cost of funds, which was slightly offset by a smaller decrease in the yields on loans as interest rates decreased. These factors are reflected in the analysis of changes in net interest income arising from changes in the volume of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and the rates earned and paid on such assets and liabilities as set forth under “Rate/Volume Analysis” below. The analysis indicates that the decrease of $4.2 million in net interest income stemmed from net rate/volume decreases in interest- earning assets of $36.4 million offset by the net rate/volume decreases of interest- bearing liabilities of $32.2 million.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses increased $183.2 million from $22.6 million in fiscal 2008 to $205.7 million in fiscal 2009 based on management’s ongoing evaluation of asset quality. This charge reflected an increase in provision to $205.7 million during the year allocated between specific reserves on impaired credits and an increase to the general reserve. The increase in provision and specific and general reserves was in response to the following trends identified in the portfolio: (i) an increase in net charge-offs of $99.3 million in fiscal 2009, primarily due to increased mortgage loan charge-offs. and (ii) increases in non-performing loans, in commercial real estate, construction and land and consumer loans, from $101.2 million at March 31, 2008 to
55
$227.8 million at March 31, 2009. These increases resulted in the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses increasing $98.9 million from $38.3 million at March 31, 2008 to $137.2 million at March 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses represented 3.34% of total loans at March 31, 2009, as compared to 0.87% of total loans at March 31, 2008. For further discussion of the allowance for loan losses, see “Financial Condition — Allowance for Loan and Foreclosure Losses.”
Non-interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $5.2 million to $45.9 million for fiscal 2009 compared to $51.1 million for fiscal 2008 primarily due to the decrease of income from the Corporation’s real estate segment of $5.7 million for fiscal 2009. In addition, gain (loss) on investments and mortgage-related securities decreased $3.8 million, loan servicing income decreased $2.1 million and other than temporary impairment on securities of $805,000 was recorded. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in other categories. Net gain on sale of loans increased $4.5 million and service charges on deposits increased $2.4 million.
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $118.7 million to $225.9 million for fiscal 2009 compared to $107.2 million for fiscal 2008 primarily due to goodwill impairment of $72.2 million and a $17.6 million impairment of real estate. In addition, net expense of REO operations increased $11.9 million, compensation expense increased $9.4 million, other non-interest expense increased $4.9 million due to increased legal fees and loan fees, mortgage servicing rights impairment expense increased $3.1 million, furniture and equipment expense increased $1.8 million due to the fact that the current year includes a full year of operations at branches acquired in the prior year, occupancy expense increased $1.6 million due to a full year of operations in the current year of branches acquired in the prior year and data processing expense increased $1.1 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in real estate investment partnership cost of sales of $6.8 million and marketing expense decreased $1.0 million.
Real Estate Segment. Net income generated by the real estate segment decreased $16.1 million for fiscal 2009 to a net loss of $18.4 million from a net loss of $2.3 million in fiscal 2008. The primary reason for the decrease for fiscal 2009 was a $17.6 million impairment of real estate. In addition, partnership sales decreased $6.5 million, income tax expense increased $614,000 and minority interest in income of real estate partnerships increased $254,000. These decreases in net income were offset in part by a $6.8 million decrease in real estate investment cost of sales and a $754,000 increase in other revenue from real estate operations. Future sales revenues are based on several factors, including the interest rate environment. Therefore, management cannot predict future activity.
Non-Controlling Interests. Non-controlling interest in income (loss) of real estate partnership operations represents the share of income of development partners in the Corporation’s real estate investment partnerships. Such non-controlling interest increased $254,000 from a loss of $402,000 in fiscal 2008 to a loss of $148,000 in fiscal 2009.
For more information on the effects to the consolidated operations of the Corporation, see “Real Estate Held for Development and Sale and Variable Interest Entities,” in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense decreased $49.7 million for fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2009 was (11.65)% as compared to 38.69% for fiscal 2008. The decline in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the valuation allowance of $46.3 million placed on the deferred tax asset during the year ended March 31, 2009. To the extent available, sources of taxable income, including those available from prior years’ under tax regulations, are deemed per GAAP to be insufficient to absorb tax losses, and a valuation allowance is therefore necessary. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Fourth Quarter Results
Net loss for the quarter ending March 31, 2010 was $26.6 million, compared to net loss of $45.9 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2009. The results for the quarter ending March 31, 2010 generated an annualized return on average assets of (2.40)% and an annualized return on average equity of (232.27)%, compared to (3.62)% and (84.21)%, respectively, for the same period in 2009.
56
Net interest income was $18.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $10.1 million from $28.7 million for the comparable period in 2009. The net interest margin was 1.77% for the quarter ending March 31, 2010 and 2.45% for the quarter ending March 31, 2009.
Provision for loan losses was $20.2 million in the quarter ending March 31, 2010 compared to $56.4 million in the quarter ending March 31, 2009. Net charge-offs were $5.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to $41.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Asset Quality” below for further analysis of the allowance for loan losses.
Non-interest income was $10.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $5.5 million compared to $16.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The majority of the decrease was attributable to a $5.0 million decrease in revenue from the real estate segment. In addition, income from net gain on sale of loans decreased $4.5 million. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in loan servicing income of $1.9 million.
Non-interest expense decreased $13.2 million to $37.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 from $50.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 primarily due to a $15.5 million decrease in expenses from the Corporation’s real estate segment, which included $13.0 million of impairment of real estate in the prior year. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in federal deposit insurance premiums of $1.1 million.
The Corporation had an income tax benefit of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to income tax benefit of $16.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The effective tax rate (benefit) was (5.34)% and (27.2)% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate was mainly due to the fact that a full valuation allowance has been recorded on the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of the Corporation to create sufficient taxable income in the near future to fully utilize it.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The most significant impact on the Corporation’s net interest income between periods is derived from the interaction of changes in the volume of and rates earned or paid on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The volume of earning dollars in loans and investments, compared to the volume of interest-bearing liabilities represented by deposits and borrowings, combined with the spread, produces the changes in net interest income between periods. The following table shows the relative contribution of the changes in average volume and average interest rates on changes in net interest income for the periods indicated. Information is provided with respect to the effects on net interest income attributable to (i) changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume), (ii) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate) and (iii) changes in rate/volume (changes in rate multiplied by changes in volume).

Financial Condition
General. Total assets of the Corporation decreased $855.8 million, or 16.2%, from $5.27 billion at March 31, 2009 to $4.42 billion at March 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in loans receivable as well as a decrease in investment securities.
Investment Securities. Investment securities (bothavailable-for-sale andheld-to-maturity) decreased $68.8 million during the year due to principal repayments, sales and fair value adjustments of $614.3 million andother-than-temporary impairments of $1.1 million due to credit losses that are recognized in earnings partially offset by purchases of $497.7 million and the securitization of mortgage loans to agency mortgage-backed securities of $48.9 million. See Notes 1 and 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Investment securities are subject to inherent risks based upon the future performance of the underlying collateral (i.e., mortgage loans) for these securities. Among these risks are prepayment risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Should general interest rate levels decline, the mortgage-related securities portfolio would be subject to (i) prepayments as borrowers typically would seek to obtain financing at lower rates, (ii) a decline in interest income received on adjustable-rate mortgage-related securities, and (iii) an increase in fair value of fixed-rate mortgage-related securities. Conversely, should general interest rate levels increase, the mortgage-related securities portfolio would be subject to (i) a longer term to maturity as borrowers would be less likely to prepay their loans, (ii) an increase in interest income received on adjustable-rate mortgage-related securities, (iii) a decline in fair value of fixed-rate mortgage-related securities, (iv) a decline in fair value of adjustable-rate mortgage-related securities to an extent dependent upon the level of interest rate increases, the time period to the next interest rate repricing date for the individual security and the applicable periodic (annualand/or lifetime) cap which could limit the degree to which the individual security could reprice within a given time period, and (v) should default rates and loss severities increase on the underlying collateral of mortgage-related securities, the Corporation may experience credit losses that need to be recognized in earnings as another-than-temporary impairment.
Loans Receivable. Total net loans decreased $809.3 million during fiscal 2010 from $4.06 billion at March 31, 2009 to $3.25 billion at March 31, 2010. The activity included (i) originations of $1.52 billion, (ii) sales of $1.13 billion and (iii) principal repayments and other reductions of $1.20 billion.
During 2010, the Corporation originated $631.1 million of loans for investment, as compared to $780.0 million and $1.19 billion during fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Of the $631.1 million of loans originated for investment in fiscal 2010, $184.4 million or 29.2% was comprised of single-family residential loans, $134.0 million or 21.2% was comprised of multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans, $81.8 million or 13.0% was comprised of construction and land loans, $212.5 million or 33.7% was comprised of consumer loans and $18.5 million or 2.9% was comprised of commercial business loans. During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Corporation securitized $48.9 million of mortgage loans to agency mortgage-backed securities which were sold at a gain of $1.8 million. Single-family residential loans held by the Corporation for investment amounted to $765.3 million and $843.5 million at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which represented approximately 22.3% and 20.5% of gross loans held for investment in 2010 and 2009, respectively. In the aggregate, gross multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans, construction and land loans, consumer loans and commercial business loans, each of which involves more risk than single-family residential loans because of the nature of, or in certain cases the absence of, loan collateral, decreased $595.1 million or 18.2% from March 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010 and represented approximately 77.7% and 79.5% of gross loans held for investment at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Single-family residential loans originated for sale amounted to $1.16 billion in fiscal 2010, as compared to $1.01 billion and $530.3 million in fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively. This increase was primarily attributable to the decreasing interest rate environment in fiscal 2010. At March 31, 2010, loans held for sale, which consisted of single-family residential loans, multi-family residential loans and commercial real estate loans, amounted to $19.5 million, as compared to $162.0 million at March 31, 2009. Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market.

Loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring due to rate or term concessions that are currently on non-accrual status will remain on non-accrual status for a period of at least six months. If after six months, or a period sufficient enough to demonstrate the willingness and ability of the borrower to perform under the modified terms, the borrower has made payments in accordance with the modified terms, the loan is returned to accrual status but retains its status as a troubled debt restructuring. The designation as a troubled debt restructuring is removed in years after the restructuring if both of the following conditions exist: (a) the restructuring agreement specifies an interest rate equal to or greater than the rate that the creditor was willing to accept at the time of restructuring for a new loan with comparable risk and (b) the loan is not impaired based on the terms specified by the restructuring agreement.
The decrease in loans considered troubled debt restructurings of $16.9 million to $44.6 million at March 31, 2010 from $61.5 million at March 31, 2009 is a result of continued efforts by the Corporation to work with their borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. As time passes and borrowers continue to perform in accordance with the restructured loan terms, we expect a portion of this balance to be returned to accrual status.
Beginning late in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, management began significant efforts in the credit risk area to obtain a thorough understanding of the risk within the loan portfolio and to take action to eliminate or limit any further material adverse consequences. These efforts include the following:
1. Realigning the corporate structure to ensure that risk is adequately and appropriately identified, mitigated and where possible, eliminated:
| | |
| • | Appointment of a Chief Credit Risk Officer responsible for overseeing all aspects of corporate risk. |
|
| • | Creation of a Special Assets Group to properly assess potential collateral shortfall exposure and to develop workout plans. |
|
| • | Development of a risk management framework. |
2. Creation and implementation of a new loan risk rating system using qualitative metrics to identify loans with potential risk so they could be properly classified and monitored.
3. Implementation of a new enhanced impairment analysis to evaluate all classified loans.
4. Introduction of a new Allowance for Loan and Lease Policy that improves the timeliness of specific reserves taken for the allowance for loan and lease calculation.
5. Analysis of the population of recent appraisals received and developed a specific reserve amount to capture the probable deterioration in value.
62
6. Establishment of an independent underwriting group that evaluates the total borrowing relationship using a global cash flow methodology.
7. Beginning of proactive monitoring of matured and delinquent loans.
8. Proactive review of the performing (non-impaired) portfolio for performance issues.
9. Development of resolution plan on all classified assets.
10. Introduction of a portfolio management team.
As a result of these continued efforts, management has a clearer understanding of the non-performing loans and related probable and inherent losses within the loan portfolio. While no assurances can be given as to whether significant increases in the level of non-performing loans and the ALLL through additional provisions for loan losses will be required in the future, we believe the magnitude of the initial increase in non-performing loans and in the level of non-performing loans and the provisions that were taken in fiscal 2010 and 2009 are a result of our efforts described above and are not indicative of a trend for the future.

The interest income that would have been recorded during fiscal 2010 if the Bank’s non-performing loans at the end of the period had been current in accordance with their terms during the period was $13.0 million. The amount of interest income attributable to these loans and included in interest income during fiscal 2010 was $5.9 million.
Allowances for Loan and Lease Losses. Like all financial institutions, we must maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when we believe that repayment of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that we believe will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluation of the collectability of loans and prior credit loss experience, together with the other factors noted earlier.
Our allowance for loan loss methodology incorporates several quantitative and qualitative risk factors used to establish the appropriate allowance for loan loss at each reporting date. Quantitative factors include our historical loss experience, peer group experience, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in non-performing loans, other factors, and information about individual loans including the borrower’s sensitivity to interest rate movements. Qualitative factors include the economic condition of our operating markets and the state of certain industries. Specific changes in the risk factors are based on perceived risk of similar groups of loans classified by collateral type, purpose and terms. Statistics on local trends, peers, and an internal three-year loss history are also incorporated into the allowance. Due to the credit concentration of our loan portfolio in real estate secured loans, the value of collateral is heavily dependent on real estate values in Wisconsin and surrounding states. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, the OTS, as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review the Banks’ allowance for loan losses, and may require us to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations. Management periodically reviews the assumptions and formulae used in determining the allowance and makes adjustments if required to reflect the current risk profile of the portfolio.
63
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific allowance relates to impaired loans. For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan, pursuant toASC 450-20 “Loss Contingencies.” The general allowance coversnon-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for the various qualitative and quantitative factors listed above, pursuant toASC 450-20 and other related regulatory guidance. Loans graded substandard and below are individually examined closely to determine the appropriate loan loss reserve.
The following table summarizes the activity in our allowance for loan losses for the period indicated.

Total loan charge-offs were $122.3 million and $108.9 million for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Total loan charge-offs for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 increased $13.4 million and $101.0 million respectively, from the prior fiscal years. The increase in charge-offs for fiscal 2010 was largely due to an increase of $19.1 million in construction and land loan charge-offs, a $2.6 million increase in multi-family residential loan charge-offs and a $2.0 million increase in consumer loan charge-offs, which was offset in part by a $5.7 million decrease in single-family residential loan charge-offs, a $4.0 million decrease in commercial business charge-offs and a $735,000 decrease in commercial real estate charge-offs. The increase in charge-offs for fiscal 2009 was largely due to an increase of $29.8 million in commercial real estate loan charge-offs, a $25.0 million increase in construction and land loan charge-offs, a $24.9 million increase in commercial business loan charge-offs, an $10.6 million increase in single-family residential loan charge-offs, a $9.4 million increase in multi-family residential loan charge-offs and a $1.4 million increase in consumer loan charge-offs. Recoveries increased
64
$751,000 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. Recoveries increased $1.8 million from $335,000 in fiscal 2008 to $2.1 million in fiscal 2009.
The provision for loan losses decreased $43.8 million to $161.9 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010 compared to $205.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in the provision for loan losses is the result of management’s ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio. Management considered the increase in non-accrual loans to total loans to 10.83% at March 31, 2010 from 5.54% at March 31, 2009 as well as an increase in total non-performing assets to 9.69% at March 31, 2010 from 5.32% at March 31, 2009 to be factors that warranted the provision for loan losses.
The table below shows the Corporation’s allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan loss reserve category at the dates indicated.

Management increased the allowance for the single-family residential loan portfolio due to analysis of individual spec builders which indicate potential losses due to the slow down of residential real estate transactions. Of the $21.0 million allocated to single-family residential, $9.8 million relates to specific credits. The allowance allocation for the commercial real estate loan portfolio increased primarily due to the analysis of individual credits which required allocation of additional reserves for probable loss as well as the increase in non-performing loans. Approximately 53% of the allowance allocated to commercial real estate and construction and land categories are related to specific loans. Of the $30.3 million allocated to commercial business, $12.6 million is related to specific loans. Overall, of the Corporation’s $179.6 million allowance for loan losses, $60.6 million is related to specific loans.
The allowance process is analyzed regularly, with modifications made if needed, and those results are reported four times per year to the Bank’s Board of Directors. Although management believes that the March 31, 2010 allowance for loan losses is adequate based upon the current evaluation of loan delinquencies, non-performing assets, charge-off trends, economic conditions and other factors, there can be no assurance that future adjustments to the allowance will not be necessary. Management also continues to pursue all practical and legal methods of
65
collection, repossession and disposal, and adheres to high underwriting standards in the origination process in order to continue to maintain strong asset quality. Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount of our valuation allowances is subject to review by the OTS, which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.
Foreclosed Properties and Reposessed Assets. Foreclosed properties and repossessed assets (also known as other real estate owned or OREO) increased $2.9 million during the year ended March 31, 2010. Individual Properties included in OREO at March 31, 2010 with a recorded balance in excess of $1 million are listed below:

Some properties were transferred to OREO at a value that was based upon a discounted cash flow of the property upon completion of the project. Factors that were considered include the cost to complete a project, absorption rates and projected sales of units. The appraisal received at the time the loan was made is no longer considered applicable and therefore the properties are analyzed on a periodic basis to determine the current net realizable value.
On a quarterly basis, the Corporation reviews its list prices of its OREO properties and makes appropriate adjustments based upon updated appraisals or market analysis by brokers.
Accrued Interest and Other Assets. Accrued interest and other assets decreased $23.3 million to $83.7 million at March 31, 2010 from $107.0 million at March 31, 2009. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in income taxes receivable of $13.4 million.
Deposits and Accrued Interest. Deposits and accrued interest decreased $371.1 million during fiscal 2010 to $3.55 billion, of which $418.3 million was due to decreases in certificates of deposit and $25.8 million was due to decreases in money market accounts. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $54.0 million in checking accounts and a $25.3 million increase in passbook accounts. The increases were due to promotions and related growth of deposit households as interest rates begin to edge upward in fiscal 2010. Deposits obtained from brokerage firms which solicit deposits from their customers for deposit with the Corporation amounted to
66
$173.5 million at March 31, 2010, as compared to $457.3 million at March 31, 2009. The weighted average cost of deposits decreased to 2.31% in fiscal 2010 compared to 2.73% in fiscal 2009.
Borrowings. FHLB advances decreased $273.9 million during fiscal 2010. At March 31, 2010, advances totaled $613.4 million and had a weighted average interest rate of 3.08% compared to advances of $887.3 million with a weighted average interest rate of 3.41% at March 31, 2009. Other loans payable decreased $8.3 million from the prior fiscal year. Other loans payable consist of borrowings of the Corporation of $116.3 million, which was primarily for the purpose of the Corporation’s stock repurchase program. For additional information, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2010 was $30.1 million, or 0.68% of total assets, compared to $211.4 million, or 4.01% of total assets at March 31, 2009. Stockholders’ equity decreased during the year as a result of (i) comprehensive loss of $176.1 million, which includes net loss of $177.1 million and an increase in net unrealized gains onavailable-for-sale securities and non-credit OTTI charges included as a part of accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.0 million and (ii) the dividend accrued on preferred stock of $5.5 million. These decreases were partially offset by (i) the purchase of stock by retirement plans of $372,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a parent-only basis at March 31, 2010, the Corporation’s commitments and debt service requirements consisted primarily of $116.3 million payable to U.S. Bank pursuant to a $116.3 million line of credit. The weighted average rate on the line of credit was 12.00% at March 31, 2010 and the line of credit matures in May 2011. Corporation loans to IDI and other non-bank subsidiaries amounted to $4.6 million at March 31, 2010.
The Corporation’s principal sources of funds for it to meet its parent-only obligations are dividends from the Bank, which are subject to regulatory limitations, and borrowings from public and private sources. During fiscal 2010, the Bank made no dividend payments to the Corporation, and at March 31, 2010 the Bank had nothing available for dividends that could be paid to the Corporation without the prior approval of the OTS.
On January 30, 2009, as part of the United States Department of the Treasury (the “UST”) Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”), the Corporation entered into a Letter Agreement with the UST. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement — Standard Terms (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) issued 110,000 shares of the Corporation’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the “Preferred Stock”), having a liquidation amount per share of $1,000, for a total purchase price of $110,000,000. The Preferred Stock will pay cumulative compounding dividends at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years following issuance and 9% per year thereafter. The Corporation may not redeem the Preferred Stock during the first three years following issuance except with the proceeds from one or more qualified equity offerings. After three years, the Corporation may redeem shares of the Preferred Stock for the per share liquidation amount of $1,000 plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.
As long as any Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation may pay dividends on its Common Stock, $.10 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and redeem or repurchase its Common Stock, provided that all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past dividend periods on the Preferred Stock are fully paid. Prior to the third anniversary of the UST’s purchase of the Preferred Stock, unless Preferred Stock has been redeemed or the UST has transferred all of the Preferred Stock to third parties, the consent of the UST will be required for the Corporation to increase its Common Stock dividend or repurchase its Common Stock or other equity or capital securities, other than in connection with benefit plans consistent with past practice and certain other circumstances specified in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Preferred Stock will be non-voting except for class voting rights on matters that would adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock.
As a condition to participating in the CPP, the Corporation issued and sold to the UST a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 7,399,103 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Corporation’s Common Stock, at an initial per share exercise price of $2.23, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $16,500,000. The term of the Warrant is ten years. Exercise of the Warrant is subject to the receipt by the Corporation of shareholder approval. The Warrant provides for the adjustment of the exercise price should the Corporation not receive shareholder
67
approval, as well as customary anti-dilution provisions. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the UST has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant.
The terms of the Treasury Department’s purchase of the preferred securities include certain restrictions on certain forms of executive compensation and limits on the tax deductibility of compensation we pay to executive management. The Corporation invested the proceeds of the sale of Preferred Stock and Warrants in the Bank as Tier 1 capital.
For the Bank, liquidity represents the ability to fund asset growth, accommodate deposit withdrawls, pay operating expenses and meet other contractual obligations and commitments. See “Contractual Obligations and Commitments” below.
The Bank’s primary sources of funds are principal and interest payments on loans receivable and mortgage-related securities, sales of mortgage loans originated for sale, FHLB advances, deposits and other borrowings. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and mortgage-related securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
The Bank has entered into agreements with certain brokers that will provide deposits obtained from their customers at specified interest rates for an identified fee, or so called “brokered deposits.” At March 31, 2010, the Bank had $173.5 million of brokered deposits. In June, 2009, the Bank consented to the issuance of a Cease and Desist Agreement with the OTS which will limit the Bank’s ability to accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits without prior approval of the OTS. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
In fiscal 2010, consolidated operating activities resulted in a net cash outflow of $387.8 million. Operating cash flows for fiscal 2010 included loss of $177.1 million and $385.2 million of net payments from the origination and sale of mortgage loans held for sale.
Consolidated investing activities in fiscal 2010 resulted in a net cash inflow of $1.12 billion. Primary investing activities resulting in cash inflows were net decrease in loans held for investment of $942.7 million, proceeds of sales and maturities of investment securities of $519.0 million and $104.3 million of principal repayments received on securities. The most significant cash outflows from investing activities were $497.7 million for the purchase of securities.
Consolidated financing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of $654.3 million in fiscal 2010, including a net decrease in deposits of $365.6 million and a net decrease in borrowings of $288.7 million.
Credit Agreement
Effective April 29, 2010 we entered into Amendment No. 6 , or the “Amendment,” to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2008, the “Credit Agreement,”, among Anchor BanCorp, the lenders from time to time a party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent for such lenders, or the “Agent.” The Amendment provides that the Corporation must pay in full the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement on the earlier of (1) the Corporation’s receipt of net proceeds of a financing transaction from the sale of equity securities in an amount not less than $116,300,000 or (b) May 31, 2011. Amounts repaid by the Company may not be reborrowed and U.S. Bank National Association is under no obligation to make additional loans to the Corporation.
These borrowings are shown in the Company’s financial statements as “other borrowings.” For additional information about the Credit Agreement, see Part II, Item 1A — Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Credit Agreement.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
At March 31, 2010, on a consolidated basis the Corporation had outstanding commitments to originate $20.8 million of loans and commitments to extend funds to or on behalf of customers pursuant to lines and letters of credit of $247.8 million. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. Commitments to
68
extend funds typically have a term of less than one year. Scheduled maturities of certificates of deposit for the Bank during the twelve months following March 31, 2010 amounted to $1.92 billion. Scheduled maturities of borrowings during the same period totaled $181.5 million for the Bank and $122.7 million for the Corporation. Management believes adequate capital and borrowings are available from various sources to fund all commitments to the extent required.
The following table summarizes our contractual principal cash obligations and other commitments at March 31, 2010:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
At March 31, 2010, the Bank’s capital was below all capital requirements of the OTS as mandated by federal laws and regulations. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Regulatory Agreements
On June 26, 2009, Anchor Bancorp Wisconsin Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Anchor Bank (the “Bank”) each consented to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist (the “Company Order” and the “Bank Order,” respectively, and together, the “Orders”) by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”).
The Company Order requires that the Company notify, and in certain cases receive the permission of, the OTS prior to: (i) declaring, making or paying any dividends or other capital distributions on its capital stock, including the repurchase or redemption of its capital stock; (ii) incurring, issuing, renewing or rolling over any debt, increasing any current lines of credit or guaranteeing the debt of any entity; (iiv) making certain changes to its directors or senior executive officers; (iv) entering into, renewing, extending or revising any contractual arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any of its directors or senior executive officers; and (v) making any golden parachute payments or prohibited indemnification payments. By July 31, 2009, the Company’s board was required to develop and submit to the OTS a three-year cash flow plan, which must be reviewed at least quarterly by the Company’s management and board for material deviations between the cash flow plan’s projections and actual results (the “Variance Analysis Report”). Within thirty days following the end of each quarter, the Company is required to provide the OTS its Variance Analysis Report for that quarter.
The Bank Order requires that the Bank notify, or in certain cases receive the permission of, the OTS prior to (i) increasing its total assets in any quarter in excess of an amount equal to net interest credited on deposit liabilities during the quarter; (ii) accepting, rolling over or renewing any brokered deposits; (iii) making certain changes to its directors or senior executive officers; (iv) entering into, renewing, extending or revising any contractual arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any of its directors or senior executive officers; (v) making any golden parachute or prohibited indemnification payments; (vi) paying dividends or making other capital distributions on its capital stock; (vii) entering into certain transactions with affiliates; and (viii) entering into third-party contracts outside the normal course of business.
The Orders also require that, no later than September 30, 2009, the Bank was to meet and maintain both a core capital ratio equal to or greater than 7 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 11 percent. Further, no later than December 31, 2009, the Bank was to meet and maintain both a core capital ratio equal to or greater than 8 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 12 percent. The Bank must also submit to the OTS, within prescribed time periods, a written capital contingency plan, a problem asset plan, a revised business plan, and an implementation plan resulting from a review of commercial lending practices. The Orders also require the Bank to review its current liquidity management policy and the adequacy of its allowance for loan and lease losses.
69
At September 30, 2009, December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, the Bank had a core capital ratio of 4.12 percent, 4.12 percent and 3.73 percent, respectively, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 7.37 percent, 7.59 percent and 7.32 percent, respectively, each below the required capital ratios set forth above. Without a waiver by the OTS or amendment or modification of the Orders, the Bank could be subject to further regulatory action. All customer deposits remain fully insured to the highest limits set by the FDIC.
The Company is working with its advisors to explore possible alternatives to raise additional equity capital. If completed, any such transaction would likely result in significant dilution for the current common shareholders. No agreements have been reached with respect to any possible capital infusion transaction. Because by September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2009, respectively, the Bank did not meet the required capital ratios set forth above, either through the completion of a successful capital raise or otherwise, the OTS may take additional significant regulatory action against the Bank and Company which could, among other things, materially adversely affect the Company’s shareholders.
The OTS may grant extensions to the timelines established by the Orders.
The description of each of the Orders and the corresponding Stipulation and Consent to Issuance of Order to Cease and Desist (the “Stipulations”) set forth in this section is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Orders and Stipulations, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.25, 10.26, 10.27, and 10.28 to the Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009.

Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Asset and Liability Management. The primary objective of asset and liability management is to provide consistent net interest income growth and returns on equity while maintaining adequate liquidity over a range of interest rate environments. To that end, management focuses on asset and liability management strategies that help reduce interest rate risk and attain the corporate goals and objectives adopted by the Corporation’s board of directors.
The Corporation’s strategy for asset and liability management is to maintain an interest rate gap that attempts to minimize the negative impact of interest rate movements on the net interest margin. As part of this strategy, the Corporation sells substantially all new originations of long-term, fixed-rate, single-family residential mortgage loans in the secondary market, invests in adjustable-rate or medium-term, fixed-rate, single-family residential mortgage loans, invests in medium-term mortgage-related securities, and invests in consumer loans which generally have shorter terms to maturity and higherand/or adjustable interest rates. The Corporation occasionally sells adjustable-rate loans at origination to private investors.
The Corporation also originates multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans, which generally have adjustable or floating interest ratesand/or shorter terms to maturity than conventional single-family residential loans. Long-term, fixed-rate, single-family mortgage loans originated for sale in the secondary market are generally committed for sale at the time the interest rate is locked with the borrower. As such, these loans involve little interest rate risk to the Corporation.
The Corporation’s cumulative net gap position at March 31, 2010 for one year or less was a positive 4.58% of total assets, which was within the Corporation’s policy. The calculation of a gap position requires management to make a number of assumptions as to when an asset or liability will reprice or mature. Management believes that its assumptions approximate actual experience and considers them reasonable, although the actual amortization and repayment of assets and liabilities may vary substantially. Competitive pressures for deposits have made time deposits sensitive to interest rates and may also affect transaction accounts, in particular, passbooks and money market accounts in the future.
70
The Corporation utilizes certain prepayment assumptions and decay rates from various sources such as the OTS and as determined by management. The following table summarizes the Corporation’s interest rate sensitivity gap position at March 31, 2010.

Net Interest Income Sensitivity. Net interest income is a primary source of revenue. Net interest income sensitivity is used to assess the interest rate risk associated with this income in various interest rate environments. Management uses the net interest income sensitivity to provide a perspective on how interest rate pricing affects the Corporation’s interest rate risk profile. Simulations are processed quarterly and include scenarios where market rates are immediately “shocked” up and down along with current and anticipated interest rate pricing of interest sensitive assets and liabilities. The sensitivity measurement is calculated as the percentage variance of net interest income simulations to the base results.
71
The following table sets forth the estimated sensitivity of net interest income for 12 months following the dates indicated. The calculations are based on immediate changes of 100 and 200 points in interest rates up or down.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 200 Basis Point
| | 100 Basis Point
| | 100 Basis Point
| | 200 Basis Point

| | Rate Increase | | Rate Increase | | Rate Decrease | | Rate Decrease |
|
March 31, 2010 | | | 13.49 | % | | | 7.07 | % | | | (4.16 | )% | | | (10.75 | )% |
March 31, 2009 | | | 6.45 | % | | | 3.25 | % | | | (4.71 | )% | | | (10.32 | )% |
The methods we used in the previous table have some inherent shortcomings. This type of modeling requires that we make assumptions which may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. For example, we make 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. We also assume that decay rates on core deposits will accelerate in a rising rate environment and the reverse in a falling rate environment. The table assumes that we 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 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 net interest income model may provide an estimate of our 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 our interest income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Going Concern. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Significant operating losses in fiscal 2008, 2009 and 2010, significant levels of criticized assets and low levels of capital raise substantial doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 12. Other than a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, the Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Corporation is unable to continue as a going concern. See Note 14.
Business. Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. (the “Corporation”) is a Wisconsin corporation incorporated in 1992 for the purpose of becoming a savings and loan holding company for AnchorBank, fsb (the “Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Bank provides a full range of financial services to individual customers through its branch locations in Wisconsin. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and other financial service providers. The Corporation and its subsidiary also are subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The Corporation also has a non-banking subsidiary, Investment Directions, Inc. (“IDI”), which invests in real estate held for development and sale.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and include the accounts and operations of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank and IDI, and their wholly owned subsidiaries. The Bank has the following subsidiaries: Anchor Investment Corporation and ADPC Corporation. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed real estate and the fair value of financial instruments.
We have evaluated all subsequent events through the date of this filing.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Corporation considers interest-bearing deposits that have an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Investment SecuritiesHeld-to-Maturity andAvailable-For-Sale. Debt securities that the Corporation has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified asheld-to-maturity and are stated at amortized cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities not classified asheld-to-maturity are classified asavailable-for-sale.Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.
Discounts and premiums on investment and mortgage-backed securities are accreted and amortized into interest income using the effective yield method over the estimated remaining life of the assets.
Realized gains and losses are included in “Net gain (loss) on sale of investment securities” in the consolidated statements of income as a component of non-interest income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. When the Corporation sellsheld-to-maturity securities, it is in accordance withASC 320-10 as the securities are substantially mature.
Declines in the fair value ofheld-to-maturity andavailable-for-sale securities below their amortized cost basis that are deemed to beother-than-temporary impairment losses are reflected as realized losses. To determine if another-than-temporary impairment exists on a debt security, the Corporation first determines if (a) it intends to sell the security or (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of the conditions is met, the Corporation will recognize another-than-temporary impairment in earnings equal to the difference between the fair value of the security and its adjusted cost basis. If neither of the conditions is met, the Corporation determines (a) the amount of the impairment related to credit loss and (b) the amount of the impairment due to all other factors. The difference between the present values of the cash flows expected to be
80
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
collected and the amortized cost basis is the credit loss. The amount of the credit loss is included in the consolidated statements of income as another-than-temporary impairment on securities and is an adjustment to the cost basis of the security. The portion of the total impairment that is related to all other factors is included in other comprehensive income (loss).
Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale generally consist of the current origination of certain fixed-rate mortgage loans and certain adjustable-rate mortgage loans and are carried at lower of cost or fair value, determined on an aggregate basis. Fees received from the borrower and direct costs to originate the loan are deferred and recorded as an adjustment of the sales price.
Mortgage Servicing Rights. Mortgage servicing rights are recorded as an asset when loans are sold to third parties with servicing rights retained. The cost allocated to the mortgage servicing rights retained has been recognized as a separate asset and is initially recorded at fair value and is amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. The carrying value of these assets is periodically reviewed for impairment using a lower of carrying value or fair value methodology. The fair value of the servicing rights is determined by estimating the present value of future net cash flows, taking into consideration market loan prepayment speeds, discount rates, servicing costs and other economic factors. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights are stratified based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans which include product type (i.e., fixed or adjustable) and interest rate bands. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights on aloan-by-loan basis exceed their fair value.
Transfers of Financial Assets. Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Corporation, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Corporation does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Loans Held for Investment. Loans are stated at the amount of the unpaid principal, reduced by unearned net loan fees and an allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is accrued on the unpaid principal balances as earned. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due or in the judgment of management the probability of collection of principal and interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant further accrual. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income. Payments received on non-accrual loans are recognized in income on a cash basis. Loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
Loan Fees and Discounts. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to the related loan’s yield. The Corporation is generally amortizing these amounts, as well as discounts on purchased loans, using the level yield method, adjusted for prepayments, over the life of the related loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable and estimable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and is based on the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio; an assessment of individual problem loans; actual and anticipated loss experience; and current economic events in specific industries and geographical areas. These economic events include unemployment levels, regulatory guidance, and general economic conditions. Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. A provision for loan losses is charged to operating expense based on management’s periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned as well as other pertinent factors. In addition, regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require the Corporation to make
81
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgements of collectibility based on information available to them at the time of their examination.
Specific allowance allocations are established for probable losses resulting from analysis developed through specific allocations on individual loans and are based on a regular analysis of impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest due according to the terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include non-accrual and restructured loans exclusive of smaller homogeneous loans such as home equity, installment, and 1-4 family residential loans. The fair value of impaired loans is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the market price of the loan, or the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. Cash collections on impaired loans are credited to the loan receivable balance and no interest income is recognized on those loans until the principal balance is current.
Foreclosed Properties and Repossessed Assets. Real estate acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure and other repossessed assets are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling expenses. At the date of foreclosure any write down to fair value less estimated selling costs is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property are capitalized; holding period costs and subsequent changes to the valuation allowance are charged to expense.
Real Estate Held for Development and Sale. Real estate held for development and sale includes investments in land and partnerships that purchased land or other property. These investments are carried at the lower of cost plus capitalized development costs and interest, or estimated fair value. Income on the sale of land and lots between the entities is deferred until development and construction are complete and a third party purchases the property. Deferred income is then recognized as a component of non-interest income under real estate investment partnership revenue.
The assets and liabilities in real estate held for development and sale is summarized in the following table:

Real estate investment partnership revenue is presented in non-interest income and represents revenue recognized upon the closing of sales of developed lots and homes to independent third parties. Real estate investment partnership cost of sales is included in non-interest expense and represents the costs of such closed sales. Other revenue (primarily rental income) and other expenses from real estate operations are also included in non-interest income and non-interest expense, respectively.
Non-controlling interest in real estate partnerships represents the equity interests of development partners in the real estate investment partnerships. The development partners’ share of income is reflected as non-controlling interest in income of real estate partnership operations in non-interest expense.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Goodwill represented the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired using the purchase method of accounting. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that also lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights or because the asset is capable of being sold or exchanged either on its own or in combination with a related contract, asset, or liability. Goodwill was written off in the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Identified intangible assets that have a finite useful life are amortized over that life in a manner that reflects the estimated decline in the economic value of the identified intangible asset. Identified intangible assets that have a finite useful life are periodically reviewed to determine whether there have been any events or circumstances to indicate that the recorded amount is not recoverable from projected undiscounted net operating cash flows. If the projected undiscounted net operating cash flows are less than the carrying amount, a loss is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to fair value, and, when appropriate, the amortization period is also reduced. Unamortized intangible assets associated with disposed assets are included in the determination of gain or loss on sale of the disposed assets. All of the Company’s other intangible assets have finite lives and are amortized over varying periods not exceeding 11 years and are included in other assets.
Office Properties and Equipment. Office properties and equipment are recorded at cost and include expenditures for new facilities and items that substantially increase the estimated useful lives (3 years to 39 years) of existing buildings and equipment. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recorded in income.
Investment in Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system. As a result of membership in the FHLB system, the Company is required to maintain a minimum investment in FHLB stock. FHLB stock is capital stock that is bought from and sold to the FHLB at $100 par. The stock is not transferable and cannot be used as collateral. During the year ended March 31, 2008, the FHLB discontinued dividend payments.
The Corporation views its investment in the FHLB stock as a long-term investment. Accordingly, when evaluating for impairment, the value is determined based on the ultimate recovery of the par value rather than recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recovery is influenced by criteria such as: 1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLBs as compared to the capital stock amount and length of time a decline has persisted; 2) impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the FHLB and 3) the liquidity position of the FHLB.
83
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The FHLB of Chicago filed an SECForm 10-Q on May 13, 2010 announcing its financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2010. The FHLB of Chicago reported net income for the first quarter of $1 million, compared to a net loss of $39 million for the same period in the previous year. This $40 million increase in net income was due to a $42 million reduction inother-than-temporary-impairments on investment securities. Retained earnings at March 31, 2010 was $709 million, or a decrease of $25 million from March 31, 2009. The FHLB of Chicago reported that they are in compliance with all of their regulatory capital requirements as of the filing date of their10-Q. The FHLB Chicago is under a cease and desist order that precludes any capital stock repurchases or redemptions without the approval of the OS Director. It did not pay any dividends in 2009. The Corporation has concluded that its investment in the FHLB Chicago is not impaired as of this date. However, this estimate could change in the near term by the following: 1) significant OTTI losses are incurred on the MBS causing a significant decline in their regulatory capital status; 2) the economic losses resulting from credit deterioration on the MBS increases significantly and 3) capital preservation strategies being utilized by the FHLB become ineffective.
Advertising Costs. All advertising costs incurred by the Corporation are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation and Amortization. The cost of office properties and equipment is being depreciated principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (3 years to 39 years) of the assets. The cost of capitalized leasehold improvements is amortized on the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the respective lease or estimated economic life.
Income Taxes. The Corporation’s deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period adjusted for the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Corporation and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return and separate state income tax returns. The intercompany settlement of taxes paid is based on tax sharing agreements which generally allocate taxes to each entity on a separate return basis.
The Corporation is subject to the income tax laws of the U.S., its states and municipalities. These tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant Governmental taxing authorities. The Corporation adopted accounting guidance related to uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under the guidance, tax positions shall initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions shall initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. The guidance also revises disclosure requirements to include an annual tabular roll forward of unrecognized tax benefits. In establishing a provision for income tax expense, the Corporation must make judgments and interpretations about the application of these inherently complex tax laws within the framework of existing U.S. GAAP. The Corporation recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in other taxes.
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. The basic EPS computation excludes the dilutive effect of all common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available for common equity by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus all potential common shares which could be issued if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock. The Corporation’s common stock equivalents represent shares issuable under its long-term incentive compensation plans. Such common stock equivalents are computed based on the treasury stock method using the average market price for the period.
84
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Comprehensive Income (Loss). Comprehensive income or loss is the total of reported net income or loss and all other revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles bypass reported net income. The Corporation includes unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, on securities available for sale in other comprehensive income.
Deferred Compensation Obligation. Deferred compensation obligation is the cost of the stock associated with selected employee benefit plans. See Note 13 for further discussion of the plans.
Repurchase Plan. For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Corporation did not repurchase any shares of common stock on the open market. All repurchased shares are held as treasury after settlement.
Stock-Based Compensation Plan. The Corporation grants stock-based compensation to employees and directors under various plans discussed in Note 13. Compensation is granted in the forms of restricted stock and stock options.
The compensation expense recognized related to stock-based compensation was $566,000, $693,000 and $838,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
New Accounting Pronouncements.
On July 1, 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification became FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, AICPA, EITF and related literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.
FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” On April 1, 2009, the Corporation adopted new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method, as discussed above. The adoption of this guidance did not significantly impact the Corporation’s previously reported consolidated financial statements.
New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 amends prior guidance to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new authoritative accounting guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial statements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 will be effective April 1, 2010 and is not expected to have an impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. ASC Topic 855 defines (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855 became effective for the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements on June 30, 2009.
85
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
FASB ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” amends prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860 will be effective April 1, 2010 and is not expected to have an impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications and Restatements. Certain 2009 and 2008 accounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentations. There was $2.4 million of FDIC insurance premium that should have been expensed in prior years. The 2009 results of operations and stockholders’ equity have been restated to reflect this expense. The reclassifications had no impact on 2008 consolidated results of operations or stockholders’ equity.

Regulatory Agreements
On June 26, 2009, Anchor Bancorp Wisconsin Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Anchor Bank (the “Bank”) each consented to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist (the “Company Order” and the “Bank Order,” respectively, and together, the “Orders”) by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”).
The Company Order requires the Company to notify, and in certain cases to obtain the permission of, the OTS prior to: (i) declaring, making or paying any dividends or other capital distributions on its capital stock, including the repurchase or redemption of its capital stock; (ii) incurring, issuing, renewing or rolling over any debt, increasing any current lines of credit or guaranteeing the debt of any entity; (iii) making certain changes to its directors or senior executive officers; (iv) entering into, renewing, extending or revising any contractual arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any of its directors or senior executive officers; and (v) making any golden parachute payments or prohibited indemnification payments. By July 31, 2009, the Company’s board was required to develop and submit to the OTS a three-year cash flow plan, which must be reviewed at least quarterly by the Company’s management and board for material deviations between the cash flow plan’s projections and actual results (the “Variance Analysis Report”). This plan has been submitted. Within thirty days following the end of each quarter, the Company is required to provide the OTS its Variance Analysis Report for that quarter. These reports have been submitted.
The Bank Order requires the Bank to notify, or in certain cases obtain the permission of, the OTS prior to (i) increasing its total assets in any quarter in excess of an amount equal to net interest credited on deposit liabilities during the quarter; (ii) accepting, rolling over or renewing any brokered deposits; (iii) making certain changes to its directors or senior executive officers; (iv) entering into, renewing, extending or revising any contractual arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any of its directors or senior executive officers; (v) making any golden parachute or prohibited indemnification payments; (vi) paying dividends or making other capital distributions on its capital stock; (vii) entering into certain transactions with affiliates; and (viii) entering into third-party contracts outside the normal course of business.
The Orders also require that, no later than September 30, 2009, the Bank meet and maintain both a core capital ratio equal to or greater than 7 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 11 percent. Further, the Bank was required to meet and maintain both a core capital ratio equal to or greater than 8 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 12 percent. The Bank must also submit, and has submitted, to the OTS, within prescribed time periods, a written capital contingency plan, a problem asset plan, a revised business plan, and an implementation plan resulting from a review of commercial lending practices. The Orders also require the Bank to review its current liquidity management policy and the adequacy of its allowance for loan and lease losses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
At September 30, 2009, December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, the Bank had a core capital ratio of 4.12 percent, 4.12 percent and 3.73 percent, respectively, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 7.37 percent, 7.59 percent and 7.32 percent, respectively, each below the required capital ratios set forth above. Without a waiver by the OTS or amendment or modification of the Orders, the Bank could be subject to further regulatory action. All customer deposits remain fully insured to the highest limits set by the FDIC.
The description of each of the Orders and the corresponding Stipulation and Consent to Issuance of Order to Cease and Desist were previously filed attached as Exhibits to the Corporation’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.
Going Concern
The Corporation and the Bank continue to diligently work with their financial and professional advisors in seeking qualified sources of outside capital, and in achieving compliance with the requirements of the Cease and Desist Order. The Corporation and the Bank continue to consult with the OTS and FDIC on a regular basis concerning the Corporation’s and Bank’s proposals to obtain outside capital and to develop action plans that will be acceptable to federal regulatory authorities, but there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful, or that even if one or more of the Corporation’s and Bank’s proposals are accepted by the Corporation’s and Bank’s Federal regulators, that these proposals will be successfully implemented. While the Corporation’s management continues to exert maximum effort to attract new capital, significant operating losses in fiscal 2008, 2009 and 2010, significant levels of criticized assets and low levels of capital raise substantial doubt as to the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Corporation is unable to achieve compliance with the requirements of the Cease and Desist Order, or implement an acceptable Capital Restoration Plan, and if the Corporation cannot otherwise comply with such commitments and regulations, the OTS or FDIC could force a sale, liquidation or federal conservatorship or receivership of the Bank. See Note 1.
Branch Sales
Management of the Corporation has entered into an agreement for the sale of eleven branches in Northwestern Wisconsin. The buyer will assume approximately $169 million in deposits and receive $65 million in loans and $9.9 million in real estate and other assets. On June 14, 2010 the Corporation announced that it received the necessary regulatory approval for the sale of these branches. The sale and conversion was completed on June 25, 2010 and a gain of approximately $4.9 million was recognized. In addition, management of the Corporation has entered into an agreement for the sale of four branches in the Green Bay, Wisconsin area. The buyer will assume approximately $117 million in deposits along with loans, real estate and other assets. This transaction is subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions. If regulatory approval is not received, the Corporation may not achieve the increase in capital level anticipated.
Credit Risks
While the Corporation has devoted and will continue to devote substantial management resources toward the resolution of all delinquent, impaired and nonaccrual loans, no assurance can be made that management’s efforts will be successful. These conditions create an uncertainty about material adverse consequences that may occur in the near term. The continuing recession and the decrease in valuations of real estate have had a significant adverse impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations. As reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Corporation has incurred a net loss of $177.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. Stockholders’ equity decreased from $211.4 million or 4.01% of total assets at March 31, 2009 to $30.1 million or 0.68% of total assets at March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2010, the Bank’s Risk-based capital is considered undercapitalized for regulatory purposes. Additionally, the Bank’s risk-based capital and Tier 1 capital ratios are below the target levels of the Order to Cease and Desist dated June 26, 2009. The recent losses originate from a provision for loan losses of $161.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, along with an increase in nonaccrual loans, which has reduced the Corporation’s net interest income. The Corporation’s
87
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
net interest income will continue to be impacted by the level of non-performing assets and the Corporation expects additional losses into the next fiscal year.
Management of the Corporation has taken significant actions in the credit risk area to limit any additional material adverse consequences. These efforts include the following:
1. Realigning the corporate structure to ensure that risk is adequately and appropriately identified, mitigated and where possible, eliminated through the:
a. Appointment of a Chief Credit Risk Officer responsible for overseeing all aspects of corporate risk.
b. Creation of a Special Assets Group to properly assess potential collateral shortfall exposure and to develop workout plans.
c. Development of a risk management framework.
2. Creation and implementation of a new loan risk rating system using qualitative metrics to identify loans with potential risk so they could be properly classified and monitored.
3. Implementation of a new enhanced impairment analysis to evaluate all classified loans.
4. Introduction of a new Allowance for Loan and Lease Policy that improves the timeliness of specific reserves taken for the allowance for loan and lease calculation.
5. Analysis of the population of recent appraisals received and developed a specific reserve amount to capture the probable deterioration in value.
6. Establishment of an independent underwriting group that evaluates the total borrowing relationship using a global cash flow methodology.
7. Beginning of proactive monitoring of matured and delinquent loans.
8. Proactive review of the performing (non-impaired) portfolio for performance issues.
9. Development of resolution plan on all classified assets.
10. Introduction of a portfolio management team.
The Corporation and the Bank have submitted a capital restoration plan stating that the Bank intends to restore the capital position of the Bank. If the OTS does not accept the Bank’s plan, the OTS could assess civil money penalties or take other enforcement actions against the Bank or the Corporation.
Further, the Corporation entered into an amendment (Amendment No. 6) to the Credit Agreement with U.S. Bank NA as described in Note 11, which established new financial covenants. Under the terms of the amended Credit Agreement, the Agent and the lenders have certain rights, including the right to accelerate the maturity of the borrowings if all covenants are not complied with. Currently, the Corporation is in compliance with the financial and non-financial covenants. If the above transactions are not consummated, the Corporation may not remain in compliance with the covenants. Accordingly, this creates significant uncertainty related to the Corporation’s operations.

Note 3 — | Restrictions on Cash and Due From Bank Accounts |
AnchorBank fsb (Bank) is required to maintain cash and reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of reserve balances for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $21.0 million and $18.5 million, respectively.
The nature of the Corporation’s business requires that it maintain amounts due from banks and federal funds sold which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Management monitors these correspondent relationships and the Corporation has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

The tables above represent 43 investment securities at March 31, 2010 compared to 82 at March 31, 2009 that, due to the current interest rate environment and other factors, have declined in value but do not presently represent other than temporary losses. Management evaluates securities forother-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. In estimatingother-than-temporary impairment losses on investment securities, management considers many factors which include: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. To determine if another-than-temporary impairment exists on a debt security, the Corporation first determines if (a) it intends to sell the security or (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of the conditions is met, the Corporation will recognize another-than-temporary impairment in earnings equal to the difference between the security’s fair value and its adjusted cost basis. If neither of the conditions is met, the Corporation determines (a) the amount of the impairment related to credit loss and (b) the amount of the impairment due to all other factors. The difference between the present values of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis is the credit loss. The credit loss is the portion of theother-than-temporary impairment that is recognized in earnings and is a reduction to the cost basis of the security. The portion of total impairment related to all other factors is included in other comprehensive income (loss).
90
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports.
The Corporation utilizes a discounted cash flow model in the determination of fair value which is used in the calculation ofother-than-temporary impairments on non-agency CMOs. This model is also used to determine the portion of theother-than-temporary impairment that is due to credit losses, and the portion that is due to all other factors. On securities withother-than-temporary impairment, the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis of the debt security is the credit loss.
The significant inputs used for calculating the credit loss portion of the OTTI include prepayment assumptions, loss severities, original FICO scores, historical rates of delinquency, percentage of loans with limited underwriting, historical rates of default, originalloan-to-value ratio, aggregate property location by metropolitan statistical area, original credit support, current credit support, and weighted-averaged maturity. The discount rates used to establish the net present value of expected cash flows for purposes of determining OTTI ranged from 5.4% to 9.5%. The rates used equate to the effective yield implicit in the security at the date of acquisition for the bonds for which the bank has not in the past incurred OTTI. For the bonds for which the bank has previously recorded OTTI, the discount rate used equates to the accounting yield on the security as of the valuation date. Default rates were calculated separately for each category of underlying borrower based on delinquency status (i.e. current, 30 to 59 days delinquent, 60 to 89 days delinquent, 90+ days delinquent, and foreclosure balances) of the loans as of March 1, 2010. These balances were entered into a loss migration model to calculate projected default rates, which are benchmarked against results that have recently been experienced by other major servicers on non-agency CMOs with similar attributes. The projected default rates used in the model ranged from 2.2% to 12.8%. To estimate fair value, the bank discounted its best estimate expected cash flows after credit losses at rates ranging from 4.5% to 15.0%. The rates utilized are based on the risk free rate equivalent to the remaining average life of the security, plus a spread for normal liquidity, plus a spread to reflect the uncertainty of the cash flow estimates. The bank benchmarks it fair value results to a pricing service and monitors the market for actual trades. The bank includes these inputs in its derivation of the discount rates used to estimate fair value. There are no payments in kind allowed on these non-agency CMOs.
Based on the Corporation’s impairment testing as of March 31, 2010, 15 non-agency CMOs with a fair value of $34.8 million and an adjusted cost of $40.7 million wereother-than-temporarily impaired compared to nine non-agency CMOs with a fair value of $26.1 million and an adjusted cost basis of $32.5 million as of March 31, 2009. The portion of theother-than-temporary impairment due to credit of $1.1 million and $805,000 was included in earnings for the year ending March 31, 2010 and three-month period ending March 31, 2009, respectively. The cumulative unrealized losses on the securities analyzed were $7.8 million at March 31, 2010 and $7.2 million at March 31, 2009. The difference between the total unrealized losses of $7.8 million and the credit loss of $1.9 million, or $5.9 million, was included in other comprehensive income. All of the Corporation’sother-than-temporary impaired debt securities are non-agency CMOs.

As of March 31, 2010, the Corporation had loans totaling $17.1 million that are on interest reserve. For these loans, no payments are typically received from the borrower since accumulated interest is added to the principal of the loan through the interest reserve. If appraisal values relating to these real estate secured loans, which includes various assumptions, prove to be overstatedand/or decline over the contractual term of the loan, the Corporation may have inadequate security for the repayment of the loan. As of March 31, 2010, $1.0 million of our impaired loans remain on interest reserve, all of which have been placed on non-accrual status.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
At March 31, 2010, the Corporation has identified $388.3 million of loans as impaired, net of allowances and including performing troubled debt restructurings. A loan is identified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A summary of the details regarding impaired loans follows:

Currently, all impaired loans (except for performing troubled debt restructurings) are placed on nonaccrual status. In those instances in which terms of a loan have been modified, including troubled debt restructurings, the Corporation may remove the non-performing designation at such time the borrower has complied with the modified terms of the loan for at least six months and applicable underwriting criteria have been satisfied, including an indication of sufficient collateral coverage. In the event a portion of a loan has been charged-off to reflect deterioration in fair value of the collateral, no recovery is recognized until the modified loan has been fully satisfied. Previously, a loan could be considered substandard and impaired while not being placed on nonaccrual status if contractually performing. Those loans past due more than 90 days are considered non-performing. March 31, 2009 impaired loans net of allowances as previously reported were $415.1 million. Based on the work performed for the restatement of the first quarter of fiscal year end March 31, 2010, classifications were changed.
The Corporation is currently committed to lend approximately $7.4 million in additional funds on these impaired loans in accordance with the original terms of these loans; however, the Corporation is not legally obligated to, and will not, disburse additional funds on any loans while in nonaccrual status. All of the $7.4 million in committed funds on impaired loans is applicable to non-performing loans. The Corporation will continue to monitor its portfolio on a regular basis and will only lend additional funds as warranted on these impaired loans.
Approximately 26% of the impaired loans as of March 31, 2010 relate to residential construction and residential land loans. As of March 31, 2010, $238.5 million of impaired loans do not have any specific valuation allowance. A loan is impaired when both the contractual interest payments and the contractual principal payments of a loan are not expected to be collected as scheduled in the loan agreement. The $238.5 million of impaired loans without a specific valuation allowance as of March 31, 2010 are generally impaired due to delays or anticipated delays in receiving payments pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan agreements.
The Corporation has experienced declines in the current valuations for real estate collateral supporting portions of its loan portfolio, primarily residential construction and residential land loans, throughout fiscal year 2010, as reflected in recently received appraisals. Currently, $398.2 million or approximately 88.7% of impaired loans secured by real estate before reserves have recent appraisals (i.e. within one year) or an appraisal is not required due to the fact that the loan is either fully reserved or has a small balance and is included in a homogenous pool of loans; uses a net present value of future cash flows for impairment; or has an SBA guaranty although the
95
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Corporation continues to receive appraisals. If real estate values continue to decline and as updated appraisals are received, the Corporation may have to increase its allowance for loan losses significantly.
Certain mortgage loans are pledged as collateral for FHLB borrowings. See Note 11.
A substantial portion of the Bank’s loans are collateralized by real estate in and around the State of Wisconsin. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in market conditions in that area.
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has granted loans to principal officers and directors and their affiliates amounting to $9,329,000 and $12,435,000 at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2010, total principal additions were $272,000 and total principal payments were $3,378,000.

Note 6 — | Foreclosed Properties and Repossessed Assets |
Real estate acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure and other repossessed assets are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling expenses. At the date of foreclosure any write down to fair value less estimated selling costs is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property are capitalized; holding period costs and subsequent changes to the valuation allowance are charged to expense.

Note 7 — | Goodwill and Other Intangibles |
The Corporation accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other.” All of the Corporation’s goodwill was assigned to the community banking segment, which was also the reporting unit. The Corporation tested its goodwill for impairment on its annual impairment testing date of December 31, 2008 and ultimately concluded that the impairment was equal to $72.2 million, the entire balance of the recorded goodwill.

Note 8 — | Mortgage Servicing Rights |
The Corporation records mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) when loans are sold to third-parties with servicing of those loans retained. In addition, MSRs are recorded when acquiring or assuming an obligation to service a financial (loan) asset that does not relate to a financial asset that is owned. The servicing asset is initially measured at fair value. The Corporation has defined two classes of MSRs — residential (one to four family) and large multi-family/commercial real estate serviced for private investors.
The first class, residential MSRs, are servicing rights on one to four family mortgage loans sold to public agencies and servicing assets related to the FHLB MPF program. The Corporation obtained a servicing asset when they delivered loans “as an agent” to the FHLB of Chicago under its MPF program. Initial fair value of these residential mortgatge servicing rights is calculated using a discounted cash flow model based on market value assumptions at the time of origination. In addition, this class includes servicing rights purchased from other banks for residential loans at an agreed upon purchase price, which becomes the initial fair value. The Corporation assesses this class for impairment using a discounted cash flow model based on current market value assumptions at each reporting period.
The other class of mortgage servicing rights is for large multi-family/commercial real estate loans partially sold to private investors. The initial fair value is calculated using a discounted cash flow model based on market participant assumptions at the time of origination at each reporting period.
Critical assumptions used in the discounted cash flow models for both classes of MSRs include mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates, costs to service, ancillary and late fee income. Variations in the assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes to the assumptions are made when current trends and market data indicate that new trends have developed. Current market participant assumptions based on loan product types — fixed rate, adjustable rate and balloon loans — include discount rates in the range of 9.5 to 23.5 percent as well as total portfolio lifetime weighted average prepayment speeds of 12.6 to 14.4 percent annual CPR. Many of these assumptions are subjective and require a high level of management judgment. MSR valuation assumptions are reviewed and approved by management on a quarterly basis.
Prepayment speeds may be affected by economic factors such as home price appreciation, market interest rates, the availability of other credit products to our borrowers and customer payment patterns. Prepayment speeds include the impact of all borrower prepayments, including full payoffs, additional principal payments and the impact of loans paid off due to foreclosure liquidations. As market interest rates decline, prepayment speeds will
97
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
generally increase as customers refinance existing mortgages under more favorable interest rate terms. As prepayment speeds increase, anticipated cash flows will generally decline resulting in a potential reduction, or impairment, to the fair value of the capitalized MSRs. Alternatively, an increase in market interest rates may cause a decrease in prepayment speeds and therefore an increase in fair value of MSRs. Annually, external data is obtained to test the values and assumptions that are used in the initial valuations for the discounted cash flow model.
The Corporation has chosen to use the amortization method to measure each class of separately recognized servicing assets. Under the amortization method, the Corporation amortizes servicing assets in proportion to and over the period of net servicing income. Income generated as the result of new servicing assets is reported as net gain on sale of loans and the amortization of servicing assets is reported as a reduction to loan servicing income in the Corporation’s consolidated statements of income. Ancillary income is recorded in other non-interest income.

The Bank has entered into agreements with certain brokers that will provide deposits obtained from their customers at specified interest rates for an identified fee, or so called “brokered deposits.” At March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Bank had $173.5 million and $457.3 million in brokered deposits. In June, 2009, the Bank entered into a Cease and Desist Agreement with the OTS which limits the Bank’s ability to accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits without prior approval of the OTS as discussed in Note 2.

The Bank selects loans that meet underwriting criteria established by the FHLB as collateral for outstanding advances. FHLB advances are limited to 65% of single-family loans, 60% of multi-family loans and to 25% of eligible home equity and home equity line of credit loans meeting such criteria. In addition, these notes are collateralized by FHLB stock of $54,829,000 at March 31, 2010 and 2009. The FHLB borrowings are also collateralized by mortgage-related securities with a fair value of $222.8 million and $301.2 million at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and agency notes with a fair value of $5.0 million at March 31, 2010 and 2009.
As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Corporation had drawn a total of $116.3 million at a weighted average interest rate of 12.00% and $116.3 million at a weighted average interest rate of 8.00%, respectively, on a short term line of credit at U.S. Bank. The total line of credit available is $116.3 million. At March 31, 2010, the base rate was 4.00% and the deferred rate was 8.00% for a weighted average interest rate of 12.00%. The credit agreement was amended as of April 29, 2010 to a base rate of 0.00% and a deferred rate of 12.00% for a weighted average rate of 12.00%. The remaining balance of $66.4 million of other borrowed funds represent borrowings of $60.0 million on an FDIC guaranteed senior note at a weighted average interest rate of 2.74% as well as accrued dividends on preferred stock of $6.4 million at a weighted average interest rate of 5.00%.
The Corporation owes $116.3 million to various Lenders led by U.S. Bank under the Credit Agreement discussed in the previous paragraph. The Corporation is currently in default of the Credit Agreement as a result of failure to make a principal payment on March 2, 2009. On April 29, 2010, the Corporation entered into Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2008, the “Credit Agreement,” among the Corporation, the lenders from time to time a party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent for such lenders, or the “Agent.” Under the Amendment, the Agent and the Lenders agree to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies against the Corporation until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than a failure to make principal payments on the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement or other Existing Defaults); or (ii) May 31, 2011. Notwithstanding the agreement to forbear, the Agent may at any time, in its sole discretion, take any action reasonably necessary to preserve or protect its interest in the stock of the Bank, Investment Directions, Inc. or any other collateral securing
101
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
any of the obligations against the actions of the Corporation or any third party without notice to or the consent of any party.
The Amendment also provides that the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement shall bear interest equal to a “Base Rate” of 0% per annum up to and including April 28, 2010 and at all times thereafter at a floating rate per annum equal to the prime rate announced by the Agent from time to time, plus a “Deferred Interest Rate” of 4.0% per annum up to and including April 28, 2010 and at all times thereafter, the difference at any time between 12.0% per annum and the Base Rate. Interest accruing at the Base Rate is due on the last day of each month and on May 31, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”); interest accruing at the Deferred Interest Rate is due on the earlier of (i) the date the Loans are paid in full or (ii) the Maturity Date.
Within two business days after the Corporation has knowledge of an “event,” the CFO shall submit a statement of the event together with a statement of the actions which the Corporation proposes to take to the Agent. An event may include:
| | |
| • | Any event which, either of itself or with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a Default under the Credit Agreement; |
|
| • | A default or an event of default under any other material agreement to which the Corporation or Bank is a party; or |
|
| • | Any pending or threatened litigation or certain administrative proceedings. |
Within 15 days after the end of each month, the Corporation’s president or vice president shall submit a certificate indicating whether the Corporation is in compliance with the following financial covenants:
| | |
| • | The Bank shall maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of not less than (i) 3.75% at all times during the period from April 29, 2010 through May 31, 2010, (ii) 3.85% at all times during the period from June 1, 2010 through August 31, 2010, (iii) 3.90% at all times during the period from September 1, 2010 through November 30, 2010 and (iv) 3.95% at all times thereafter. |
|
| • | The Bank shall maintain a Total Risk Based Capital ratio of not less than (i) 7.10% at all times during the period from April 29, 2010 through May 31, 2010, (ii) 7.35% at all times during the period from June 1, 2010 through August 31, 2010, (iii) 7.60% at all times during the period from September 1, 2010 through November 30, 2010 and (iv) 7.65% at all times thereafter. |
|
| • | The ratio of Non-Performing Loans to Gross Loans shall not exceed (i) 14.50% at any time during the period from April 29, 2010 through May 31, 2010, (ii) 13.00% at any time during the period from June 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010, (iii) 12.50% at any time during the period from October 1, 2010 through November 30, 2010, (iv) 12.00% at any time during the period from December 1, 2010 through March 31, 2010, (v) 11.00% at any time during the period from April 1, 2011 through April 30, 2011 and (vi) 10.00% at all times thereafter. |
The total outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2010 was $116.3 million. These borrowings are shown in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements as other borrowed funds. The Amendment provides that the Corporation must pay in full the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement on the earlier of the Corporation’s receipt of net proceeds of a financing transaction from the sale of equity securities in an amount not less than $116.3 million or May 31, 2011.
The Credit Agreement and the Amendment also contain customary representations, warranties, conditions and events of default for agreements of such type. At March 31, 2010, the Corporation was not in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was subsequently amended. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Agent and the Lenders have certain rights, including the right to accelerate the maturity of the borrowings if all covenants are not complied with. Currently, no such action has been taken by the Agent or the Lenders. However, the default creates significant uncertainty related to the Corporation’s operations.

Note 12 — Stockholders’ Equity
The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to issue preferred stock in series and to establish the voting powers, other special rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications and restrictions thereof. Preferred stock may rank prior to the common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preferences or both, and may have full or limited voting rights. Under Wisconsin state law, preferred stockholders would be entitled to vote as a separate class or series in certain circumstances, including any amendment which would adversely change the specific terms of such series of stock or which would create or enlarge any class or series ranking prior thereto in rights and preferences. We have deferred five dividend payments on the Series B Preferred Stock held by the Treasury.
Preferred Equity: The Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a par value of $0.10 per share. In January, 2009, as part of the U.S. Department of Treasury’s (“UST”) Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”), the Corporation issued 110,000 shares of senior preferred stock (with a par value of $0.10 per share and a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share) and a10-year warrant to purchase approximately 7.4 million shares of common stock (see section “Common Stock Warrants” below for additional information), for aggregate proceeds of $110 million. The proceeds received were allocated between the Senior Preferred Stock and the Common Stock Warrants based upon their relative fair values, which resulted in the recording of a discount on the Senior Preferred Stock upon issuance that reflects the value allocated to the Common Stock Warrants. The discount is accreted using a level-yield basis over five years. The allocated carrying value of the Senior Preferred Stock and Common Stock Warrants on the date of issuance (based on their relative fair values) were $72.9 million and $37.1 million, respectively. Cumulative dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock are payable at 5% per annum for the first five years and at a rate of 9% per annum thereafter on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. The Corporation is prohibited from paying any dividend with respect to shares of common stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends are paid in full on the Senior Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods. The Senior Preferred Stock is non-voting, other than class voting rights on matters that could adversely affect the Senior Preferred Stock. Three years after the original issue date the Corporation may redeem the Senior Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to the sum of the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and any accrued and unpaid dividends. Prior to the end of three years, the Senior Preferred Stock may be redeemed with the proceeds from one or more qualified equity offerings of any Tier 1 perpetual preferred or common stock of at least $110 million (each a “Qualified Equity Offering”). The UST may also transfer the Senior Preferred Stock to a third party at any time.
Common Stock Warrants: The Common Stock Warrants have a term of 10 years and are exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, at an exercise price of $2.23 per share (subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments).
Assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of Common Stock Warrants. The weighted average expected life of the Common Stock Warrants represents the period of time that common stock warrants are expected to be outstanding. 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 of the Corporation’s stock. The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value for the Common Stock Warrants: a weighted average expected life of 10 years, a risk-free interest rate of 3.35%, an expected volatility of 50.12%, and a dividend yield of 1.55%. Based on these assumptions, the estimated fair value of the Common Stock Warrants was $7.8 million.
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, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’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.
103
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Qualitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of core, tangible, and risk-based capital. Management believes, as of March 31, 2010, that the Bank was below all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of March 31, 2010, the most recent notification from the OTS categorizes the Bank as undercapitalized under the framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum core, tangible and risk-based capital ratios. In June, 2009, the Bank consented to the issuance of a Cease and Desist Agreement with the OTS which requires, among other things, capital requirements in excess of the generally applicable minimum requirements.
The following table summarizes the Bank’s capital ratios and the ratios required by its federal regulators to be considered adequately or well-capitalized at March 31, 2010 and 2009:

The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend if such declaration and payment would violate regulatory requirements. As part of the Cease and Desist Agreement with the OTS, the Corporation must receive the permission of the OTS prior to declaring, making or paying any dividends or other capital distributions on its capital stock as further described in Note 2.

Note 13 — | Employee Benefit Plans |
The Corporation maintains a defined contribution plan in which all employees are eligible to participate. Employees become eligible on the first of the month following 60 days of employment. Participating employees
104
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
may contribute up to 50% of their base compensation. The Corporation matched 100% of the amounts contributed by each participating employee up to 2% of the employee’s compensation, 50% of the employee’s contribution up to the next 2% of compensation, and 25% of each employee’s contributions up to the next 4% of compensation. In October 2009, the Corporation suspended the matching contribution. The Corporation may also contribute additional amounts at its discretion. The Corporation’s contribution was $567,000, $1.1 million, and $963,000, for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.
The Corporation sponsors an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) which covers all employees with more than one year of employment, who are at least 21 years of age and who work more than 1,000 hours in a plan year. Any discretionary contributions to the ESOP have been allocated among participants on the basis of compensation. Forfeitures are reallocated among the remaining participating employees. The dividends on ESOP shares were used to purchase additional shares to be allocated under the plan. The number of shares allocated to participants is determined based on the annual contribution plus any shares purchased from dividends received during the year. There was no ESOP expense for fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008.
The activity in the ESOP shares of both plans is as follows:

In the event a terminated ESOP participant desires to sell their shares of the Corporation’s stock, or for certain employees who elect to diversify their account balances, the Corporation may be required to purchase the shares from the participant at their fair market value. At March 31, 2010 and 2009, the ESOP held 1,334,140 shares and 1,195,831 shares, respectively, all of which have been allocated to ESOP participants. The fair market value of those shares totaled $1.5 million and $1.6 million as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair market value of the stock purchased by the Company from ESOP participants totaled $222,000 and $363,000, respectively. The Corporation is planning on terminating the ESOP plan during fiscal year 2011. Upon termination, all ESOP shares will be distributed to participants of the plan.
During 1992, the Corporation formed four Management Recognition Plans (“MRPs”) which acquired a total of 4% of the shares of the Corporation’s common stock. The Bank contributed $2,000,000 to the MRPs to enable the MRP trustee to acquire a total of 1,000,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock. In 2001, the Corporation amended and restated the MRPs to extend their term. There were no shares granted during the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. The $2,000,000 contributed to the MRPs is being amortized to compensation expense as the Bank’s employees become vested in the awarded shares. There was no MRP amortized to compensation expense for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. There were no shares vested during the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

The Corporation has stock compensation plans under which shares of common stock are reserved for the grant of incentive and non-incentive stock options and restricted stock or restricted stock units to directors, officers and employees. The date the options are first exercisable is determined by a committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The options expire no later than ten years from the grant date.

In 2004, the Corporation approved the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. The purpose of the plan was to promote the interests of the Corporation and its stockholders by (i) attracting and retaining exceptional executive personnel and other key employees of the Corporation and its Affiliates; (ii) motivating such employees by means of performance-related incentives to achieve long-range performance goals; and (iii) enabling such employees to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Corporation. Under the plan, up to 921,990 shares of Common Stock were authorized and available for issuance. Of the 921,990 shares available, up to 300,000 shares may be awarded in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units which are not subject to the achievement of a performance target or targets. The restricted stock grants generally vest over a period of three to five years and are included in outstanding shares at the time of vesting. There were 22,500 and 32,700 shares granted at fair value under the plan during the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. There were no shares granted under the plan for the year ended March 31, 2010. The restricted stock grant plan expense was $501,000, $599,000 and $644,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

We have maintained significant net deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences, the largest of which relates to our allowance for loan losses. For income tax return purposes, only net charge-offs on uncollectible loan balances are deductible, not the provision for loan losses. Under generally accepted accounting principles, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the realizability of the deferred tax assets is highly subjective and dependent upon judgment concerning management’s evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, the forecasts of future income, applicable tax planning strategies, and assessments of the current and future economic and business conditions. Management considered both positive and negative evidence regarding the ultimate realizability of the Corporation’s deferred tax assets. Positive evidence includes the existence of taxes paid in available carryback years as well as the probability that taxable income will be generated in future periods while negative evidence includes significant losses in the current year or cumulative losses in the current and prior two years as well as general business and economic trends. At March 31, 2010, Management determined that a valuation allowance relating to a portion of the Corporation’s deferred tax asset was necessary. This determination was based largely on the negative evidence represented by a loss in the two most recent years caused by the significant loan loss provisions recorded during the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 associated with our loan portfolio. In addition, general uncertainty surrounding future economic and business conditions have increased the potential volatility and uncertainty of our projected earnings. Therefore, a valuation allowance of $118.6 million was recorded to offset net deferred tax assets that exceed the Corporation’s carryback potential.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: Effective April 1, 2007, the Corporation adopted FIN 48. This Interpretation provides guidance on financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in tax returns. The adoption of this Interpretation had no material impact on the Corporation’s current and prior year financial statements.
The Corporation is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of various state jurisdictions. The tax years2007-2009 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and certain state jurisdictions while the years2006-2009 remain open to examination by certain other state jurisdictions.

Note 16 — | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities |
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, loans sold with recourse against the Corporation and financial guarantees which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement and exposure to credit loss the Corporation has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows (in thousands):

Commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Letters of credit commit the Corporation to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur. Commitments and letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. As some such commitments expire without being drawn upon or funded by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB), the
110
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Corporation evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on acase-by-case basis. With the exception of credit card lines of credit, the Corporation generally extends credit only on a secured basis. Collateral obtained varies, but consists primarily of single-family residences and income-producing commercial properties. Fixed-rate loan commitments expose the Corporation to a certain amount of interest rate risk if market rates of interest substantially increase during the commitment period. Similar risks exist relative to loans classified as held for sale, which totaled $19,484,000 and $161,964,000 at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This exposure, however, is mitigated by the existence of firm commitments to sell the majority of the fixed-rate loans. Commitments to sell mortgage loans within 60 days at March 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $59,000,000 and $540,198,000, respectively.
The Corporation previously participated in the Mortgage Partnership Finance (MPF) Program of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB). The program was intended to provide member institutions with an alternative to holding fixed-rate mortgages in their loan portfolios or selling them in the secondary market. An institution participates in the MPF Program by either originating individual loans on a “flow” basis as agent for the FHLB pursuant to the “MPF 100 Program” or by selling, as principal, closed loans owned by an institution to the FHLB pursuant to one of the FHLB’s closed-loan programs. The program was discontinued in 2008 in its present format and the Corporation no longer funds loans through the MPF program. The Corporation does, however, continue to service the loans funded under the program and maintains the credit exposure and credit enhancement fees. Under the MPF Program, credit risk is shared by the participating institution and the FHLB by structuring the loss exposure in several layers, with the participating institution being liable for losses after application of an initial layer of losses (after any private mortgage insurance) is absorbed by the FHLB, subject to anagreed-upon maximum amount of such secondary credit enhancement which is intended to be in an amount equivalent to a “AA” credit risk rating by a rating agency. The participating institution receives credit enhancement fees from the FHLB for providing this credit enhancement and continuing to manage the credit risk of the MPF Program loans. Participating institutions are also paid specified servicing fees for servicing the loans.
Pursuant to the credit enhancement feature of that Program, the Corporation has retained secondary credit loss exposure in the amount of $21.6 million at March 31, 2010 related to approximately $920.0 million of residential mortgage loans that the Corporation has originated as agent for the FHLB. Under the credit enhancement, the FHLB is liable for losses on loans up to one percent of the original delivered loan balances in each pool. The Corporation is then liable for losses over and above the first position up to a contractuallyagreed-upon maximum amount in each pool that was delivered to the Program. The Corporation receives a monthly fee for this credit enhancement obligation based on the outstanding loan balances. Based on historical experience, the Corporation does not anticipate that any credit losses will be incurred under the credit enhancement obligation.
Loans sold to investors with recourse to the Corporation met the underwriting standards of the investor and the Corporation at the time of origination. In the event of default by the borrower, the investor may resell the loans to the Corporation at par value. As the Corporation expects relatively few such loans to become delinquent, the total amount of loans sold with recourse does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Collateral obtained on such loans consists primarily of single-family residences.
Except for the above-noted commitments to originateand/or sell mortgage loans in the normal course of business, the Corporation and the Bank have not undertaken the use of off-balance-sheet derivative financial instruments for any purpose.
In the ordinary course of business, there are legal proceedings against the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Management considers that the aggregate liabilities, if any, resulting from such actions would not have a material, adverse effect on the financial position of the Corporation.

Note 17 — | Derivative Financial Instruments |
The Corporation has recorded derivative contracts related to commitments to fund residential mortgages (“interest rate locks”) and commitments to deliver funded mortgages to investors (see Note 16). The fair values of these derivatives were immaterial at March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Note 18 — | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value, is required whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. 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 instruments. Certain financial instruments with a fair value that is not practicable to estimate and all non-financial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent the underlying value of the Corporation.
The Corporation, in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments, used the following methods and assumptions:
Cash and cash equivalents and accrued interest: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets approximate those assets’ and liabilities’ fair values.
Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. For securities in inactive markets, fair values are based on discounted cash flow or other valuation models.
Loans receivable: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for loans held for sale are based on outstanding sale commitments or quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair value of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans held for investment, commercial real estate loans, rental property mortgage loans and consumer and other loans and leases are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. For construction loans, fair values are based on carrying values due to the short-term nature of the loans.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock: The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates its fair value as it can only be redeemed to the FHLB at its par value of $100.
Deposits: The fair values disclosed for NOW accounts, passbook accounts and variable rate insured money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The fair values of fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current incremental interest rates being offered on certificates of deposit to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of the outstanding certificates of deposit.
Borrowings: The fair value of the Corporation’s borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Corporation’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values of the Corporation’s off-balance-sheet instruments (lending commitments and unused lines of credit) are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the counterparties’ credit standing and discounted cash flow analyses. The fair value of these off-balance-sheet items approximates the recorded amounts of the related fees and is not material at March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Accounting guidance for fair value establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.ASC 820-10 applies only to fair value measurements already required or permitted by other accounting standards and does not impose requirements for additional fair value measures. It defines fair value as 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.
In determining the fair value, the Corporation uses various valuation methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Corporation utilizes assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, 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 inputs. The Corporation uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Corporation is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
| | |
| • | Level 1: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities. |
|
| • | Level 2: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities. |
|
| • | Level 3: Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets. |

The purchases of securities classified as level 3 during the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 included collateralized mortgage obligation (CMOs) and U.S. Government sponsored agency real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs).
A pricing service was used to value our investment securities and mortgage-related securities as of March 31, 2010. Mortgage-related securities were considered a level 3 due to the fact that the inputs for determining fair value are unobservable and these securities need to be placed out for bid in order to arrive at the fair value. The Corporation utilized fair value estimates obtained from an independent pricing service as of March 31, 2010 for all corporate mortgage-related securities that were rated below triple-A by at least one major rating service as of the measurement date. These estimates were determined using a discounted cash flow model in accordance with the guidance provided inASC 820-10-65. The significant inputs to the discounted cash flow model are prepayment speeds of 4.8% to 17.3%, default rates of 1.5% to 12.8%, loss severities of 23.6% to 55.3% and discount rates of 4.5% to 15.0%.
Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The following table presents such assets carried on the consolidated balance sheet by caption and by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

The Corporation does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. The specific reserves for collateral dependent impaired loans are based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of collateral was determined based on appraisals. In some cases, adjustments were made to the appraised values due to various factors including age of the appraisal, age of comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. When significant adjustments were based on unobservable inputs, the resulting fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 3 measurement.
Loans held for sale generally consist of the current origination of certain fixed-rate mortgage loans and certain adjustable-rate mortgage loans and are carried at lower of cost or fair value, determined on an aggregate basis. Fees received from the borrower and direct costs to originate the loan are deferred and recorded as an adjustment of the sales price.
Mortgage servicing rights are recorded as an asset when loans are sold to third parties with servicing rights retained. The cost allocated to the mortgage servicing rights retained has been recognized as a separate asset and is initially recorded at fair value and amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. The carrying value of these assets is periodically reviewed for impairment using a lower of carrying value or fair value methodology. The fair value of the servicing rights is determined by estimating the present value of future net cash flows, taking into consideration market loan prepayment speeds, discount rates, servicing costs and other economic factors. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights are stratified based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans which include product type (i.e., fixed or adjustable) and interest rate bands. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights on aloan-by-loan basis exceed their fair value. Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.
Foreclosed properties and repossessed assets, upon initial recognition, are measured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the foreclosed asset. The fair value of foreclosed properties and repossessed assets, upon initial recognition, are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals adjusted for market discounts. Foreclosed properties and repossessed assets are re-measured at fair value after initial recognition through the use of a valuation allowance on foreclosed assets.
In accordance with the accounting standards, goodwill with a carrying value of $72.2 million was written down to its implied fair value of zero, resulting in an impairment charge of $72.2 million, which was included in earnings for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Note 20 — | Segment Information |
The Corporation provides a full range of banking services, as well as real estate investments through its two consolidated subsidiaries. The Corporation manages its business with a primary focus on each subsidiary. Thus, the Corporation has identified two operating segments. The Corporation has not aggregated any operating segments.
Community Banking: This segment is the main basis of operation for the Corporation and includes the branch network and other deposit support services; origination, sales and servicing ofone-to-four family loans; origination of multifamily, commercial real estate and business loans; origination of a variety of consumer loans; and sales of alternative financial investments such as tax deferred annuities.
Real Estate Investments: The Corporation’s non-banking subsidiary, IDI, invested in limited partnerships in real estate developments. Such developments included recreational residential developments. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, IDI sold its interest in several limited partnerships as well as substantially all of its remaining assets, which included some developed lots. The assets that remain at IDI include an equity interest in one commercial real estate property and one real estate development along with various notes receivable.
The Real Estate Investment segment borrows funds from the Corporation to meet its operating needs. Such intercompany borrowings are eliminated in consolidation. The interest income and interest expense associated with such borrowings are also eliminated in consolidation.
The following represents reconciliations of reportable segment revenues, profit or loss, and assets to the Corporation’s consolidated totals for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

At March 31, 2010, approximately 475,000 stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. The warrant to purchase 7.4 million shares at an exercise price of $2.23 was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the warrant’s exercise price was greater than the average market price of common stock and was, therefore, anti-dilutive. Because of their anti-dilutive effect, the shares that would be issued if the Senior Preferred Stock were converted are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc.
Madison, Wisconsin
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Corporation) as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Corporation and the Bank will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, at March 31, 2010, all of the subsidiary bank’s regulatory capital amounts and ratios are below the required levels and the bank is considered “undercapitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. The subsidiary bank has also suffered recurring losses from operations. Failure to meet the capital requirements exposes the Corporation to regulatory sanctions that may include restrictions on operations and growth, mandatory asset dispositions, and seizure of the subsidiary bank. In addition, as discussed in Note 11, the Corporation’s outstanding balance under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement could be declared in default and become due or payable if financial covenants are not met. These matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Corporation to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary should the Corporation be unable to continue as a going concern.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Our report dated June 29, 2010 expressed an opinion that the Corporation had not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc.
Madison, Wisconsin
We have audited Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Corporation’s) internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A corporation’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A corporation’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the corporation; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the corporation are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the corporation; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the corporation’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the corporation’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment.
The Corporation did not maintain effective entity level controls to ensure that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2010 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated June 29, 2010 on those financial statements.
125
In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Corporation has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of for the year ended March 31, 2010 of Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. and our report dated June 29, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion with an emphasis paragraph regarding the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Item 9. | Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure |
None.

Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Corporation maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any disclosure controls and procedures will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined inRule 13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management is required to assess the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year and report, based on that assessment, whether the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. The Corporation’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation and may not prevent or detect all misstatements.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. These criteria include the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication and monitoring of each of the above criteria. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2010. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010 has been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report included in Item 8.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Corporation identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting (as defined inRules 13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). The Corporation’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the entity level controls over financial reporting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Corporation’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the year ended March 31, 2010, we have implemented a number changes in our internal control structure to address the material weaknesses described above. Following is a description of those changes.
1. Our Internal Control over Financial Reporting related to the allowance for loan losses and the completeness and accuracy of the provision for loan losses contained multiple deficiencies that represented material weaknesses.
127
In addition to the hiring of a Chief Credit Risk Officer, the following changes were made to address these material weaknesses:
To ensure early detection of and timely communication to the Board of Directors regarding deteriorating assets, the Corporation:
| | |
| • | Created and implemented a new loan risk rating system based on qualitative metrics to proactively identify loans with potential risk and move them to a substandard list. |
|
| • | Developed a dedicated team to underwrite all new loans, modifications and renewals using the new loan risk rating system. |
|
| • | Implemented procedural changes, including a “material change form” to ensure all downgrades are communicated and escalated to management on a timely basis. |
|
| • | Began conducting monthly watch list, delinquencies and matured/maturing loan meetings as well as quarterly Portfolio Review meetings. |
The Corporation did not have a dedicated team to address loans identified as problem loans. The Corporation created a Special Assets Group to oversee problem loans. The Special Assets Group is responsible for collecting the information to perform analysis in accordance with ASC310-10-35, assessing potential shortfall exposure, developing workout plans, and making recommendations for the impairment calculation. In addition:
| | |
| • | Problem loans over $300,000 in total exposure are assigned to a special asset officer that is determined by collateral type. |
|
| • | Regular meetings are being held to assess resolution plans for problem loans. |
|
| • | Proactive and aggressive steps are being taken to resolve the problem loan, including the obtainment of additional collateral, a loan restructuring or a pay down. |
To improve asset tracking and ensure application of a consistent accounting approach for all classified assets the Corporation implemented a new impairment analysis format and reevaluated all classified relationships over $500,000 in order to:
| | |
| • | Establish standard discount rates for all collateral types. |
|
| • | Identify all related entities associated with existing impaired loans thereby ensuring a complete evaluation. |
|
| • | Update the impairment evaluation procedure where collateral is the primary repayment source, so that collateral is now evaluated on aloan-by-loan basis. |
|
| • | Define the appropriate calculation method for the impairment, collateral or cash flow. |
|
| • | Establish a quarterly, independent review by internal audit to validate the impairment analysis |
The Corporation did not have a formal process for evaluating loan modifications for the accurate identification of Troubled Debt Restructures. A formal Trouble Debt Restructures (“TDR”) Policy has been developed and implemented as follows:
| | |
| • | The TDR Policy is incorporated within the ALLL Policy for ease of use and assurance of compliance. |
|
| • | The TDR Policy clearly identifies the criteria for designating a loan modification as a TDR and outlines the appropriate measures for those classified as such. |
|
| • | TDR Procedures have been developed to support the TDR Policy and ensure its accurate implementation. |
To improve the process of computing the allowance for loan and lease loss (“ALLL”) in accordance withASC 450-2 the Corporation implemented an improved ALLL Policy. The ALLL Policy is designed to streamline and improve the timeliness of specific reserves taken within the ALLL calculation and ensure the historical and
128
qualitative factors used in determining the general reserve are appropriate based on the underlying facts and circumstance within the loan portfolio. Specific changes in the process include the following:
| | |
| • | Identified specific risk concentrations within the loan portfolio to better track and understand borrower behavior. |
|
| • | Developed and analyzed historical charge-off information by risk concentration to identify an appropriate historical look back period to serve as the basis for the historical loss component of the ALLL calculation. |
|
| • | Developed qualitative factors using guidance from the December 2006 Interagency Statement on the Allowance for Loan Loss and current informational sources. |
|
| • | Developed proper segregation of duties between those individuals responsible for preparing the general reserve portion of the ALLL and the specific reserve portion of the ALLL and those reviewing the overall adequacy of the ALLL. |
|
| • | Developed a process to consistently document the ALLL calculation and the underlying support. |
2. Our existing policies and procedures relating to OREO did not provide for sufficient supervisory controls around the valuation and recording of impairment charges for other real estate owned to ensure impairment charges were properly recognized and recorded. The following changes were made to correct these material weaknesses:
| | |
| • | An asset account has been set up for legal and miscellaneous expenses related to loans that have not completed the foreclosure process and been transferred to OREO but for which the Corporation believes they will be able to recover. This account is now reconciled on a monthly basis and reviewed for collectability in accordance withASC 450-2. |
|
| • | The OREO Policy was improved and implemented. Improvements include ordering appraisals on all OREO at the earlier of in-substance foreclosure or transfer to OREO and subsequently as deemed necessary by management, development of a standard form to determine values for all OREO, development of a checklist to determine the appropriate accounting entries for OREO, including entries related to OREO sales financed by the Bank, reconciliation of OREO accounts monthly and guidelines for accepting or declining offers to purchase. |
3. Our controls over the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) were not effective. We have made changes to the financial statement close process as follows to enable us to prepare timely, accurate financial statements in accordance with GAAP:
a. Completion of a GAAP Disclosure Checklist provided by a nationally recognized accounting support vendor on a quarterly basis. This has enabled us to ensure that all required disclosures have been identified and included as deemed necessary.
b. Developed a responsibility matrix and production calendar. The responsibility matrix identifies the preparer, reviewer and backup reviewer as well as a due date, which is determined by the production calendar.
c. Engaged a regional public accounting firm to assist in the preparation of technical accounting memos and oversight of the financial statement production process.
Other than the actions mentioned above, there has been no change in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting ((as defined inRules 13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Corporation’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management believes that the changes to the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting identified above remediate the material weaknesses in internal control described above.
