FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In the normal course of business, we, in an effort to help keep our shareholders and the public informed about our operations, may from time to time issue or make certain statements, either in writing or orally, that are or contain forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the U.S. federal securities laws. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions made by or to be made by us, projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, profitability or other aspects of operating results or other future developments in our affairs or the industry in which we conduct business. Forward-looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions.
Although we believe that the anticipated results or other expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that those results or expectations will be attained. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions (some of which are beyond our control), and as a result actual results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following, as well as those discussed elsewhere herein:
| | |
| • | our investments in our businesses and in related technology could require additional incremental spending, and might not produce expected deposit and loan growth and anticipated contributions to our earnings; |
|
| • | general economic or industry conditions could be less favorable than expected, resulting in a deterioration in credit quality, a change in the allowance for loan and lease losses or a reduced demand for credit or fee-based products and services; |
|
| • | changes in the domestic interest rate environment could reduce net interest income and could increase credit losses; |
|
| • | the conditions of the securities markets could change, which could adversely affect, among other things, the value or credit quality of our assets, the availability and terms of funding necessary to meet our liquidity needs and our ability to originate loans; |
|
| • | changes in the extensive laws, regulations and policies governing financial holding companies and their subsidiaries could alter our business environment or affect our operations; |
|
| • | the potential need to adapt to industry changes in information technology systems, on which we are highly dependent, could present operational issues or require significant capital spending; |
|
| • | competitive pressures could intensify and affect our profitability, including as a result of continued industry consolidation, the increased availability of financial services from non-banks, technological developments such as the Internet or bank regulatory reform; |
|
| • | acquisitions may result in large one-time charges to income, may not produce revenue enhancements or cost savings at levels or within time frames originally anticipated and may result in unforeseen integration difficulties; and |
|
| • | acts or threats of terrorism and actions taken by the United States or other governments as a result of such acts or threats, including possible military action, could further adversely affect business and economic conditions in the United States generally and in our principal markets, which could have an adverse effect on our financial performance and that of our borrowers and on the financial markets and the price of our common stock. |
You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events except to the extent required by federal securities laws.

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. 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.”
The Bank blends an interest in the consumer and small business markets with the willingness to expand its numerous checking, savings and lending programs to meet customers’ changing financial needs. The Bank offers checking, savings, money market accounts, mortgages, home equity and other consumer loans, student loans, credit cards, annuities and related consumer financial services. The Bank also offers banking services to businesses, including checking accounts, lines of credit, secured loans and commercial real estate loans. The Bank also offers investments and credit life and disability insurance to the Bank’s customers and other members of the general public.
The Corporation has a non-banking subsidiary, Investment Directions, Inc. (“IDI”), a Wisconsin corporation which invests in real estate partnerships. IDI has two subsidiaries, Nevada Investment Directions, Inc. (“NIDI”) and California Investment Directions, Inc. (“CIDI”), both of which invest in real estate held for development and sale.
The Bank has three 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). Willow River, Inc., an operating subsidiary that is located in Wisconsin and formed under the laws of the state of Delaware, manages a portion of the Bank’s investment portfolio (primarily state and municipal bonds) and was acquired in the merger of S&C Bank effective January 2008.
The Corporation maintains a web site atwww.anchorbank.com. All 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 the metropolitan area of Madison, Wisconsin, the suburban communities of Dane County, Wisconsin, south-central Wisconsin, the Fox Valley in east-central Wisconsin, the Milwaukee metropolitan area in southeastern Wisconsin and northwest Wisconsin, as well as contiguous counties in Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois. At March 31, 2008, the Bank conducted business from its headquarters and main office in Madison, Wisconsin and from 73 other full-service offices and two loan origination offices.
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
1
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 and increase market share.
The origination of loans secured by real estate is the Bank’s primary business and principal source of profits. If customer demand for real estate loans decreases, the Bank’s income could be affected because alternative investments, such as securities, typically earn less income than real estate secured loans. Customer demand for loans secured by real estate could be reduced by a weaker economy, an increase in unemployment, a decrease in real estate values, or an increase in interest rates.
The principal factors that are used to attract deposit accounts and that distinguish one financial institution from another include rates of return, types of accounts, service fees, convenience of office locations and hours, and other services. The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates, loan fee charges, timeliness and quality of service to the borrower.
Lending Activities
General. At March 31, 2008, the Bank’s net loans held for investment totaled $4.20 billion, representing approximately 81.6% of its $5.15 billion of total assets at that date. Approximately $3.38 billion, or 77.1%, of the Bank’s total loans receivable at March 31, 2008 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. In order to increase the yield and interest rate sensitivity of its portfolio, the Bank also emphasizes the origination of commercial real estate, multi-family, construction, consumer and commercial business loans secured by properties and assets located primarily in its primary market area.
Non-real estate loans originated by the Bank consist of a variety of consumer loans and commercial business loans. At March 31, 2008, the Bank’s total loans receivable included $727.0 million, or 16.6%, of consumer loans and $277.3 million, or 6.3%, of commercial business loans.

Single-Family Residential Loans. At March 31, 2008, $893.0 million, or 20.4%, 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. Although the Bank continues to originate single-family residential loans, they have declined as a percentage of the Bank’s total loans receivable from 22.7% at March 31, 2004 to 20.4% at March 31, 2008.
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, 2008, approximately $615.0 million, or 68.9%, 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. The Bank also acts as agent for the FHLB to originate single family loans. 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, 2008, approximately $278.0 million, or 31.1%, 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,
5
because of prepayments anddue-on-sale clauses, such loans generally remain outstanding for a substantially shorter period of time.
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, 2008, the Bank had $694.4 million of loans secured by multi-family residential real estate and $1.09 billion of loans secured by commercial real estate, which represented 15.8% and 24.8% 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 30 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. Historically, the Bank has been an active originator of loans to construct residential and commercial properties (“construction loans”), and to a lesser extent, loans to acquire and develop real estate for the construction of such properties (“land loans”). At March 31, 2008, construction loans amounted to $402.4 million, or 9.2%, of the Bank’s total loans receivable. Land loans amounted to $306.4 million, or 7.0%, of the Bank’s total loans receivable at March 31, 2008.
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 appraiser and outside construction inspectors warrant. Land acquisition and development loans generally have the same terms as construction loans, but may have longer maturities than such loans.
Consumer Loans. The Bank offers consumer loans in order to provide a full range of financial services to its customers. At March 31, 2008, $727.0 million, or 16.6%, 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. These risks are not as prevalent in the case of the Bank’s consumer loan portfolio, however, because a high percentage of insured home equity loans are underwritten in a manner such that they result in a lending risk which is substantially similar to single-family residential loans and education loans. Education loans are generally guaranteed by a federal governmental agency.
The largest component of the Bank’s consumer loan portfolio is second mortgage and home equity loans, which amounted to $356.0 million, or 8.1%, of total loans receivable at March 31, 2008. 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 100% of assessed or appraised value as of the loan origination date. A fixed-rate home equity product is also offered.
Approximately $275.9 million, or 6.3%, of the Bank’s total loans receivable at March 31, 2008 consisted of education loans. These are generally made for a maximum of $2,500 per year for undergraduate studies and $5,000 per year for graduate studies and are either due within six months of graduation or repaid on an installment basis after 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 Student Loan Marketing Association (“SLMA”) or to other investors. The Bank did not sell any of these education loans during fiscal 2008.
6
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, currently within a range of 42% to 45%, with a third party, Elan. The Bank also shares 33% of annual fees paid to Elan and 30% of late payments paid to Elan.
At March 31, 2008, the Bank’s approved credit card lines amounted to $47.8 million. The total outstanding amount at March 31, 2008 is $7.4 million.
Commercial Business Loans and Leases. The Bank originates loans for commercial, corporate and business purposes, including issuing letters of credit. At March 31, 2008, commercial business loans amounted to $277.3 million, or 6.3%, 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 corporate 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 individuals 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, referrals from real estate brokers and 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 solicitation of eligible students and from walk-in customers.
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 Officers’ Loan Committee, within designated limits. Depending on the type and amount of the loans, one or more 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 an Officers’ Loan Committee and requires at least three of the members’ signatures. 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 the loan-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, 2008, the Bank had approximately $152.5 million of loans that had loan-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 have loan-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 security property from independent appraisal firms.
7
The portfolio of commercial real estate, multi-family residential and commercial business loans are reviewed on a continuing basis to identify any potential risks that exist in regard to the property management, financial criteria of 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 generally obtains title insurance policies on most first mortgage real estate loans it originates. If title insurance is not obtained or is unavailable, the Bank obtains an abstract of title and title opinion. Borrowers must obtain hazard insurance prior to closing and, when required by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, flood insurance. Borrowers may be required to advance funds, with each monthly payment of principal and interest, to a loan escrow account from which the Bank makes disbursements for items such as real estate taxes, hazard insurance premiums, flood insurance premiums, and mortgage insurance premiums as they become due.
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. In addition, the Bank has an agency relationship with the FHLB to originate single family loans. 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 reliant 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, 2008, the Bank was servicing $3.25 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, 2008, approximately $24.4 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 generally instituted. The borrower is contacted to determine the reason for the delinquency and attempts are made to cure the loan. In most cases, deficiencies are cured promptly. 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, when deemed necessary, 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 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. A judgment of foreclosure for residential mortgage loans will normally provide for the recovery of all sums advanced by the mortgagee including, but not limited to, insurance, repairs, taxes, appraisals, post-judgment interest, attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements.
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 carried at the lower of carrying amount or estimated fair
9
value less cost to sell at the 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. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are capitalized to the extent of fair value. Remaining gain or loss on the ultimate disposal of the property is included in non-interest income.
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 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
Investment Securities
In addition to lending activities and investments in mortgage-related securities, 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. Investment decisions are made by authorized officers in accordance with policies established by the respective boards 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 the income statement.
Securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale. At March 31, 2008, all of the Corporation’s investment securities were so classified. 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, 2008 and 2007, stockholders’ equity increased $2.4 million (net of deferred income tax receivable) and increased $2.0 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, 2008.
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. Subject to limitations on investment grade securities, the Corporation also invests in corporate stock and debt securities from time to time.

Mortgage-Related Securities
The Corporation purchases mortgage-related securities to supplement loan production and to provide collateral for borrowings. 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 CMO’s.
At March 31, 2008, the amortized cost of the Corporation’s mortgage-related securities held to maturity amounted to $59,000, all of which are30-year securities. There were no five- and seven-year balloon securities. All of the held to maturity mortgage-related securities are insured or guaranteed by FNMA and are adjustable-rate securities.
The fair value of the Corporation’s mortgage-related securities available for sale amounted to $269.4 million at March 31, 2008, of which $1.5 million are five- and seven-year balloon securities, $267.9 million are 10-, 15- and30-year securities and of all of those securities, $65.1 million are adjustable-rate securities. Of the total available for sale mortgage-related securities, $104.1 million, $55.9 million and $31.8 million are insured or guaranteed by FNMA, FHLMC and GNMA, respectively. Of the total of available for sale mortgage-related securities, $77.6 million are corporate securities and therefore not insured by one of the three foregoing agencies. The adjustable-rate securities included in the above totals for March 31, 2008, are $27.0 million, $8.6 million, $29.4 million and $125,000 for FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA and corporate, respectively.
Mortgage-related 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, 2008, all mortgage-related securities held by the Corporation are either AAA rated or are guaranteed by the government. At March 31, 2008, $119.4 million of the Corporation’s mortgage-related securities available for sale were pledged to secure various obligations of the Corporation. The Corporation had no mortgage-backed securities held to maturity that were pledged to secure obligations of the Corporation at March 31, 2008.
The table below sets forth information regarding the amortized cost and fair values of the Corporation’s mortgage-related securities at the dates indicated.

Management believes that certain mortgage-derivative securities represent an attractive alternative relative to other investments due to the wide variety of maturity and repayment options available through such investments and due to the limited credit risk associated with such investments. The Corporation’s mortgage-derivative securities are made up of collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), including CMOs which qualify as Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (“REMICs”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”). At March 31, 2008, the
11
Corporation had no mortgage-derivative securities held to maturity. The fair value of themortgage-derivative securities available for sale held by the Corporation amounted to $126.6 million at the same date.

Due to repayments of the underlying loans, the actual maturities of mortgage-related securities are expected to be substantially sooner than the scheduled maturities.

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 market 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, 2008, the Bank had $220.3 million in brokered deposits, which accounted for 6.2% of its $3.5 billion of total deposits.
12
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, 2008.

(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 contractual maturity. The preliminary 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, 2008, the Bank had $396.3 million of certificates greater than or equal to $100,000, of which $147.4 million are scheduled to mature in seven through twelve months and $41.3 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 is required to be held by the Bank and by certain of the Bank’s mortgage loans. 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. The Bank has pledged a substantial portion of its loans receivable and all of its investment in FHLB stock as collateral for these advances. A portion of the Bank’s mortgage-related securities has also been pledged as collateral.
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, 2008 but may do so in the future.
The Corporation has 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 funds other Corporation needs. The interest is based on a money market rate (estimated to be 3.55% at March 31, 2008) and LIBOR on fixed term (estimated to be 4.20% at March 31, 2008), and is payable quarterly. Each LIBOR note has a specified maturity. The final maturity of the line of credit is in September 2008. At March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Corporation had drawn $118.5 million and $63.6 million under this line of credit, respectively. See Note 10 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“FIN 46”). The application of FIN 46 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 belongs to the other partner is reflected as minority 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 of FIN 46.

California Investment Directions, Inc. CIDI is a wholly owned non-banking subsidiary of IDI formed in April 2000 to purchase and hold the general partnership interest in Indian Palms and a minority interest in Davsha, LLC. CIDI was organized in the state of California. Davsha and its subsidiaries invest in VIE’s which are subject to consolidation pursuant to FIN 46R. The loss at CIDI in 2008 was the result of decreased sale activity at Davsha and its subsidiaries. See “Davsha, LLC” below for a discussion of the effects of FIN 46R on the financial statements of Davsha and its subsidiaries as well as a discussion of VIE’s in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
Nevada Investment Directions, Inc. NIDI is a wholly owned non-banking subsidiary of IDI formed in March 1997 that has invested in a limited partnership, Oakmont, as a 94.12% owner (IDI being the other 5.88% owner). NIDI was organized in the state of Nevada. Oakmont invests in a VIE, Chandler Creek Business Park of Round Rock, Texas, which is subject to consolidation pursuant to FIN 46R.
S&D Indian Palms, Ltd. Indian Palms is a wholly owned non-banking subsidiary of IDI organized in the state of California which owns a golf resort and land for residential lot development in California. Indian Palms sells land to Davsha, LLC, which in turn sells land to its subsidiaries and subsequently to its real estate partnerships for lot development. Gains are realized as fully developed lots are sold to unaffiliated parties. The loss at Indian Palms in 2008 was the result of decreased lot sales.
15
Davsha, LLC. Davsha is 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 develops residential housing for sale. Davsha has three wholly owned non-banking subsidiaries, Davsha III, Davsha V and Davsha VII. Each of these subsidiaries formed partnerships with developers and purchased lots from Davsha. Since each of the three Davsha subsidiaries exercise significant influence over the operations of their respective partnerships, the assets, liabilities, income and expense are consolidated with the financial statements of each of the respective Davsha’s, pursuant to FIN 46R. The loss in 2008 was the result of decreased sale activity at the Davsha subsidiaries.
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 is 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. There are currently six buildings which are approximately 75% occupied and approximately 125 acres of land available for future development. The loss in 2008 was the result of operating costs at Oakmont without sufficient commercial property sales at Chandler Creek to offset costs. Because Oakmont made substantially all of the initial capital investment in Chandler Creek and bears substantially all the risks of ownership, the assets, liabilities, income and expense of that partnership are consolidated with the financial statements of Oakmont, pursuant to FIN 46R.
Together, IDI, CIDI, NIDI, Indian Palms, Davsha, and Oakmont represent the real estate investment segment of the Corporation’s business. At March 31, 2008, the majority of this segment was classified as real estate held for development and sale on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. Minority interest of the partnerships is reported as a mezzanine item below liabilities and above stockholders’ equity. The components of income from operations of the real estate investment subsidiaries that are consolidated in accordance with FIN 46R are reported in real estate investment partnership revenue, real estate investment partnership cost of sales, other expenses from real estate partnership operations, and minority interest in net income of real estate partnership operations. For further discussion of the real estate held for development and sale segment, see Note 19 to the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
The balance of assets at IDI includes loans to finance the acquisition and development of property for various partnerships and subsidiaries. At March 31, 2008, IDI had extended $14.5 million to Indian Palms, $2.5 million to Davsha and $2.9 million to Oakmont as compared to $13.9 million to Indian Palms, $3.0 million to Davsha and $3.2 million to Oakmont at March 31, 2007. These amounts are eliminated in consolidation.
In addition, IDI had invested in a heavy industrial battery charger manufacturer, Power Designers, Inc. The investment in Power Designers was made to potentially recover loans written off by the Bank in the past. In February 2008, Power Designers was placed in bankruptcy receivership. On March 28, 2008, Power Designers was sold to an independent third party with a closing date in May 2008. As a result of the sale, IDI recognized a loss on its note receivable and investment in Power Designers of approximately $300,000. IDI received approximately $1.3 million in cash from the independent third party buyer and has recorded a two year note receivable in the amount of $2.4 million from the sale. IDI no longer has an equity interest in the new corporation.
At March 31, 2008, the Corporation had extended $28.9 million to IDI to fund various partnership and subsidiary investments. This represents an increase of $1.4 million from borrowings of $27.5 million at March 31, 2007. 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, 2008 amounted to $511,000 as compared to $507,000 at March 31, 2007. ADPC had net income of $3,000 for the year ended March 31, 2008 as compared to net income of $41,000 for the year ended March 31, 2007.
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
16
operations are combined with the Bank’s for financial and regulatory purposes. The Bank’s investment in AIC amounted to $216.4 million at March 31, 2008 as compared to $208.7 million at March 31, 2007. AIC had net income of $6.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $5.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2007.
Willow River. Willow River is an operating subsidiary of the Bank that was acquired in the merger of S&C Bank effective January 2008. Located in the state of Wisconsin, Willow River was formed under the laws of the state of Delaware for the purpose of managing a portion of the Bank’s investment portfolio (primarily state and municipal bonds). As an operating subsidiary, Willow River’s results of operations are combined with the Bank’s for financial and regulatory purposes. The Bank’s investment in Willow River amounted to $62.4 million at March 31, 2008. Willow River had net income of approximately $289,000 since the date of acquisition (for the three months ended March 31, 2008).
Employees
The Corporation had 990 full-time employees and 163 part-time employees at March 31, 2008. 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.
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
17
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.
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.
18
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.
“Core capital” includes common stockholders’ equity (including common stock, common stock surplus 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 minority 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, 2008, the Bank was in compliance with all minimum regulatory capital requirements, with tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios of 7.04%, 7.04% and 10.14%, 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. The Bank is not subject to any such individual minimum capital requirement.
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
19
capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. The capital thresholds established for each of the categories are as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | | | Tier 1
| | Total

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.
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, 2008, the Bank was “well capitalized.”
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. |
20
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 QTI, test set forth in the HOLA and implementing regulations of the OTS by either meeting the QTI 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 QTI test set forth in the HOLA requires a savings association to maintain 65% of portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments, or QTIs. 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, QTIs are residential housing related assets. At March 31, 2008, the amount of the Bank’s assets which were invested in QTIs exceeded the percentage required to qualify the Bank under the QTI 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.”
21
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.
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 five and seven 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 10, 28 and 43 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 2008 was .0112% 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.
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,
22
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 $220.3 million of outstanding brokered deposits at March 31, 2008.
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 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, 2008, 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
23
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 recently 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 (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.
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.
24
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.
Our results of operations are significantly dependent on economic conditions and related uncertainties.
Commercial banking is affected, directly and indirectly, by domestic and international economic and political conditions and by governmental monetary and fiscal policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, volatile interest rates, real estate values, government monetary policy, international conflicts, the actions of terrorists and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect our results of operations. Changes in interest rates, in particular, could adversely affect our net interest income and have a number of other adverse effects on our operations, as discussed in the immediately succeeding risk factor. Adverse economic conditions also could result in an increase in loan delinquencies, foreclosures and nonperforming assets and a decrease in the value of the property or other collateral which secures our loans, all of which could adversely affect our results of operations. We are particularly sensitive to changes in economic conditions and related uncertainties in Wisconsin and contiguous counties in Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois because we derive substantially all of our loans, deposits and other business from this area. Accordingly, we remain subject to the risks associated with prolonged declines in national or local economies.
Changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
The operations of financial institutions such as us are dependent to a large extent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and investment securities and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect our net interest income by affecting the difference between the weighted average yield earned on our interest-earning assets and the weighted average rate paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, or interest rate spread, and the average life of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in interest rates also can affect our ability to originate loans; the value of our interest-earning assets and our ability to realize gains from the sale of such assets; our ability to obtain and retain deposits in competition with other available investment alternatives; the ability of our borrowers to repay adjustable or variable rate loans; and the fair value of the derivatives carried on our balance sheet, derivative hedge effectiveness testing and the amount of ineffectiveness recognized in our earnings. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions and other factors beyond our control. Although we believe that the estimated maturities of our interest-earning assets currently are well balanced in relation to the estimated maturities of our interest-bearing liabilities (which involves various estimates
25
as to how changes in the general level of interest rates will impact these assets and liabilities), there can be no assurance that our profitability would not be adversely affected during any period of changes in interest rates.
There are increased risks involved with multi-family residential, commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer lending activities.
Our lending activities include loans secured by existing multi-family residential and commercial real estate. In addition, we originate loans for the construction of multi-family residential real estate and land acquisition and development loans. Multi-family residential, commercial real estate and construction lending generally is considered to involve a higher degree of risk than single-family residential lending due to a variety of factors, including generally larger loan balances, the dependency on successful completion or operation of the project for repayment, the difficulties in estimating construction costs and loan terms which often do not require full amortization of the loan over its term and, instead, provide for a balloon payment at stated maturity. Our lending activities also include commercial business loans and leases to small to medium businesses, which generally are secured by various equipment, machinery and other corporate assets, and a wide variety of consumer loans, including home improvement loans, home equity loans, education loans and loans secured by automobiles, boats, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Although commercial business loans and leases and consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interests rates than mortgage loans, they generally involve more risk than mortgage loans because of the nature of, or in certain cases the absence of, the collateral which secures such loans.
Additional increases in our level of non-performing assets will continue to 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. Loans classified as non-performing assets (consisting of non-accrual loans, non-performing real estate held for development and sale, foreclosed properties and repossessed assets) increased to $109.5 million, or 2.13% of total assets, at March 31, 2008 from $54.5 million, or 1.20% of total assets, at March 31, 2007, and $15.7 million, or 0.37% of total assets, at March 31, 2006. In addition, loans classified as special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss totaled $143.9 million (including $104.1 million of impaired loans) at March 31, 2008, compared to $61.1 million at March 31, 2007 and $15.8 million at March 31, 2006. If loans that are currently non-performing further deteriorate or loans that are currently performing become non-performing, we may need to continue to increase our allowance for loan losses, 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.
Our allowance for losses on loans and leases may not be adequate to cover probable losses.
As our level of non-performing loans increased significantly in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 we have incurred increased provisions for loan losses, which amounted to $22.6 million, $11.3 million and $3.9 million for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our allowance for loan losses increased to $38.3 million, or 0.87% of total loans, at March 31, 2008 from $20.5 million, or 0.50% of total loans, at March 31, 2007 and $15.6 million, or 0.41% of total loans, at March 2006. Although we have established an allowance for loan losses which we believe is adequate to offset probable losses on our existing loans and leases, 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.
We are subject to extensive regulation which could adversely affect our business and operations.
We and the Bank are subject to extensive federal governmental supervision and regulation, which are intended primarily for the protection of depositors. In addition, we and our subsidiaries are subject to changes in laws, as well as changes in regulations, governmental policies and accounting principles. The effects of any such potential changes cannot be predicted but could adversely affect the business and operations of us and our subsidiaries in the future.
26
We face strong competition which may adversely affect our profitability.
We are subject to vigorous competition in all aspects and areas of our business from banks and other financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, savings banks, finance companies, credit unions and other providers of financial services, such as money market mutual funds, brokerage firms, consumer finance companies and insurance companies. We also compete with non-financial institutions, including retail stores that maintain their own credit programs and governmental agencies that make available low cost or guaranteed loans to certain borrowers. Certain of our competitors are larger financial institutions with substantially greater resources, lending limits, larger branch systems and a wider array of commercial banking services. Competition from both bank and non-bank organizations will continue.
Our ability to successfully compete may be reduced if we are unable to make technological advances.
The banking industry is experiencing rapid changes in technology. In addition to improving customer services, effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. As a result, our future success will depend in part on our ability to address our customers’ needs by using technology. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively develop new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products to our customers. Many of our competitors have far greater resources than we have to invest in technology.
We and our banking subsidiary are subject to capital and other requirements which restrict our ability to pay dividends.
Our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders depends to a large extent upon the dividends we receive from the Bank. Dividends paid by the Bank are subject to restrictions under federal laws and regulations. In addition, the Bank must maintain certain capital levels, which may restrict the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to us and our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights and are subject to potential dilution.
Our certificate of incorporation does 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.
Our real estate operations have had and may continue to have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
The Corporation conducts real estate operations through Investment Directions, Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary, which invests in various real estate subsidiaries and partnerships and conducts real estate development and sales throughout California, Texas and Minnesota. As a result of weakening conditions in the real estate market and reduced sales of its properties, the Corporation has incurred losses from the operations of its real estate subsidiaries in recent years, which are expected to continue unless the real estate market improves. Losses from its real estate operations amounted to $2.3 million, $1.7 million and $1.6 million during the years ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Additional losses from our real estate operations would have an adverse effect on our results of operations and capital.

None
At March 31, 2008, the Bank conducted its business from its headquarters and main office at 25 West Main Street, Madison, Wisconsin and 73 other full-service offices and two loan origination offices. The Bank owns 52 of its full-service offices, leases the land on which five such offices are located, and leases the remaining 22 full-
27
service offices. The Bank also owns a building at its headquarters which hosts its support center, one building that is currently occupied and for sale and one building that is vacant and 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 2008 and 2029. The aggregate net book value at March 31, 2008 of the properties owned or leased, including headquarters, properties and leasehold improvements, was $35.8 million. See Note 8 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 of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimatingother-than-temporary impairment losses, 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. If a security has been impaired, and the impairment is deemed other-than-temporary and material, a write down will occur in that quarter. If a loss is deemed to be other-than-temporary, it is recognized as a realized loss in the consolidated statement of income with the security assigned a new cost basis. |
|
| • | Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, requires that available-for-sale securities be carried at fair value. Management utilizes the services of a third party vendor to assist with the determination of estimated fair values. Adjustments to the available-for-sale securities fair value impact the consolidated financial statements by increasing or decreasing assets and stockholders’ equity. |
|
| • | The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable losses incurred in the loan portfolio. Our allowance for loan loss methodology incorporates a variety of risk considerations in establishing an allowance for loan losses that we believe is adequate to absorb probable losses in the existing portfolio. Such analysis addresses our historical loss experience, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in non-performing loans, economic conditions, peer group experience and other considerations. This information is then analyzed to determine “estimated loss factors” which, in turn, is assigned to each loan category. These factors also incorporate known information about individual loans, including the borrowers’ sensitivity to interest rate movements. Changes in the factors themselves are driven by perceived risk in pools of homogenous loans classified by collateral type, purpose and term. Management monitors local trends to anticipate future delinquency potential on a quarterly basis. |
The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. Provisions for loan losses are provided on both a specific and general basis. Specific allowances are provided for watch, criticized, and impaired credits for which the expected/anticipated loss may be measurable. General valuation allowances are based on a portfolio segmentation based on collateral type, purpose and risk grading, with a further evaluation of various factors noted above.
32
We incorporate our internal loss history to establish potential risk based on collateral type securing each loan. As an additional comparison, we examine peer group banks to determine the nature and scope of their losses. Finally, we closely examine each credit graded substandard to individually assess the appropriate specific loan loss reserve for such credit.
At least quarterly, we review the assumptions and formulas by which additions are made to the specific and general valuation allowances for loan losses in an effort to refine such allowance in light of the current status of the factors described above. The total loan portfolio is thoroughly reviewed at least quarterly for satisfactory levels of general and specific reserves together with impaired loans to determine if write downs are necessary.
Although we believe the levels of the allowance as of March 31, 2008 and 2007 were adequate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio, a decline in local economic conditions or other factors could result in increasing losses that cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
| | |
| • | At least quarterly, we review the assumptions and formulas by which additions are made to the specific and general valuation allowances for loan losses in an effort to refine such allowance in light of the current status of the factors described above. The total loan portfolio is thoroughly reviewed periodically for satisfactory levels of general and specific reserves together with impaired loans to determine if write downs are necessary. We believe the allowance for loan losses is adequate and properly recorded in the financial statements. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Allowances for Loan Losses” in Item 8 for a discussion of risk components. |
|
| • | Valuation of mortgage servicing rights requires the use of judgment. Mortgage servicing rights are established on loans that are originated and subsequently sold. A portion of the loan’s book basis is allocated to mortgage servicing rights when a loan is sold. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is the present value of estimated future net cash flows from the servicing relationship using current market assumptions for prepayments, 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 exceeds 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 cost or market value. |
|
| • | The Corporation evaluates goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis pursuant to SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The first step of the impairment evaluation involves the determination of the fair value of each reporting unit to which goodwill has been assigned. Goodwill is not impaired if the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. The Corporation determined that none of its goodwill was impaired as of December 31, 2007, which is the annual review date. |
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 invests in real estate developments.
33
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, 2008 and 2007
General. Net income decreased $7.9 million to $31.1 million in fiscal 2008 from $39.0 million in fiscal 2007. The primary component of this decrease in earnings for fiscal 2008, as compared to fiscal 2007, was an $11.3 million increase in the provision for loan losses. The decrease in net income was also attributable to a decrease in non-interest income of $2.4 million, primarily due to a $9.5 million decrease in income from the Corporation’s real estate segment. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $959,000 and a decrease in income tax expense of $4.9 million. The returns on average assets and average stockholders’ equity for fiscal 2008 were 0.63% and 9.17%, respectively, as compared to 0.89% and 11.75%, respectively, for fiscal 2007.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $959,000 during fiscal 2008 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 we no longer receive a dividend from the Federal Home Loan Bank and approximately $6.8 million of income on nonaccrual loans was reversed. The average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities increased to $4.75 billion and $4.60 billion in fiscal 2008, respectively, from $4.19 billion and $4.02 billion, respectively, in fiscal 2007. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.03 in fiscal 2008 from 1.04 in fiscal 2007. The average yield on interest-earning assets (6.25% in fiscal 2008 versus 6.71% in fiscal 2007) decreased, as did the average cost on interest-bearing liabilities (3.65% in fiscal 2008 versus 3.80% in fiscal 2007). The net interest margin decreased to 2.72% in fiscal 2008 from 3.06% in fiscal 2007 and the interest rate spread decreased to 2.60% from 2.91% in fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in interest rate spread was reflective of an
36
increase in the cost of funds, which was slightly offset by a smaller increase in the yields on loans as interest rates increased. 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 increase of $959,000 in net interest income stemmed from net rate/volume increases in interest-bearing liabilities of $15.0 million offset by the net rate/volume increases of interest-earning assets of $16.0 million.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses increased $11.3 million from $11.3 million in fiscal 2007 to $22.6 million in fiscal 2008 based on management’s ongoing evaluation of asset quality. This charge reflected an increase in provision to $22.6 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. An increase in net charge-offs of $1.3 million in fiscal 2008, primarily due to increased mortgage loan charge-offs. Increases in non-accrual loans, in single-family residential, commercial real estate, commercial business and construction and land loans, from $47.0 million at March 31, 2007 to $101.2 million at March 31, 2008. These increases resulted in the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses increasing $17.8 million from $20.5 million at March 31, 2007 to $38.3 million at March 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses represented 0.87% of total loans at March 31, 2008, as compared to 0.50% of total loans at March 31, 2007. 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 decreased $2.4 million to $51.6 million for fiscal 2008 compared to $54.0 million for fiscal 2007 primarily due to the decrease of income from the Corporation’s real estate segment of $9.5 million for fiscal 2008. In addition, other non-interest income decreased $503,000. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in other categories. Net gain on sale of loans increased $3.4 million, service charges on deposits increased $2.8 million, net gain on sale of investments and mortgage-related securities increased $797,000, investment and insurance commissions increased $341,000 and loan servicing income increased $184,000.
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $188,000 to $107.7 million for fiscal 2008 compared to $107.5 million for fiscal 2007 primarily due to an increase in compensation expense of $3.3 million, an increase in other non-interest expense of $3.1 million and an increase in other expense from real estate partnership operations of $1.3 million. In addition, occupancy expense increased $756,000, furniture and equipment expense increased $711,000 and data processing expense increased $243,000. These increases were offset by a decrease in real estate investment partnership cost of sales of $9.1 million. In addition, marketing expense decreased $187,000.
Real Estate Segment. Net income generated by the real estate segment decreased $603,000 for fiscal 2008 to a net loss of $2.3 million from a net loss of $1.7 million in fiscal 2007. The primary reason for the decrease for fiscal 2008 was a decrease of $10.4 million in partnership sales, which was offset in part by a $9.1 million decrease in real estate investment cost of sales, a $161,000 decrease in minority interest in income of real estate partnerships and a $1.1 million decrease in income tax expense. Future sales revenues are based on several factors, including the interest rate environment. Therefore, management cannot predict future activity.
Minority Interests. Minority 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 minority interest decreased $161,000 from loss of $241,000 in fiscal 2007 to a loss of $402,000 in fiscal 2008. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of partnership sales and cost of sales.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense decreased $4.9 million for fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2008 was 38.69% as compared to 38.68% for fiscal 2007. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Comparison of Years Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
General. Net income decreased $5.7 million to $39.0 million in fiscal 2007 from $44.7 million in fiscal 2006. The primary component of this decrease in earnings for fiscal 2007, as compared to fiscal 2006, was a $13.0 million decrease in non-interest income, primarily due to a $13.7 million decrease in income from the Corporation’s real estate segment. The decrease in net income was also attributable to an increase in the provision for loan losses of $7.4 million and a decrease in net interest income of $4.7 million. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease in non-interest expense of $11.0 million, due primarily to a $11.5 million decrease attributable to the Corporation’s real estate segment, and a decrease in income tax expense of $6.3 million. The returns on average assets and average stockholders’ equity for fiscal 2007 were 0.89% and 11.75%, respectively, as compared to 1.08% and 14.16%, respectively, for fiscal 2006.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased by $4.7 million during fiscal 2007 due to a larger increase in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities compared to the increase in the volume of interest-earning assets coupled with a greater increase in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities as compared to the increase in the yields earned on interest-earning assets. The average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities increased to $4.19 billion and $4.02 billion in fiscal 2007, respectively, from $3.94 billion and $3.78 billion, respectively, in fiscal 2006. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities remained steady at 1.04 in fiscal 2007 and 2006. The average yield on interest-earning assets (6.71% in fiscal 2007 versus 6.05% in fiscal 2006) increased, as did the average cost on interest-bearing liabilities (3.80% in fiscal 2007 versus 2.80% in fiscal 2006). The net interest margin decreased to 3.06% in fiscal 2007 from 3.36% in fiscal 2006 and the interest rate spread decreased to 2.91% from 3.25% in fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease in interest rate spread was reflective of an increase in the cost of funds, which was slightly offset by a smaller increase in the yields on loans as interest rates increased. 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 $4.7 million in net interest income stemmed from net rate/volume increases in interest-bearing liabilities of $46.8 million offset by the net rate/volume increases of interest-earning assets of $42.1 million.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses increased $7.4 million from $3.9 million in fiscal 2006 to $11.3 million in fiscal 2007 based on management’s ongoing evaluation of asset quality. There was a decrease in net charge-offs of $8.5 million in fiscal 2007, primarily due to decreased commercial business loan charge-offs. There was an increase in non-accrual loans, particularly in single-family and multi-family residential loans, from $13.5 million at March 31, 2006 to $47.0 million at March 31, 2007. The Corporation’s allowance for loan losses increased $4.9 million from $15.6 million at March 31, 2006 to $20.5 million at March 31, 2007. The allowance for loan losses represented 0.50% of total loans at March 31, 2007, as compared to 0.41% of total loans at March 31, 2006. 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-
38
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 decreased $13.0 million to $54.0 million for fiscal 2007 compared to $67.0 million for fiscal 2006 primarily due to the decrease of income from the Corporation’s real estate segment of $13.7 million for fiscal 2007. In addition, other non-interest income decreased $1.0 million, net gain on sale of investments and mortgage-related securities decreased $565,000 and loan servicing income decreased $237,000. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in other categories. Investment and insurance commissions increased $947,000, service charges on deposits increased $933,000 and net gain on sale of loans increased $651,000.
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $11.0 million to $107.5 million for fiscal 2007 compared to $118.4 million for fiscal 2006 primarily due to the decrease of real estate investment partnership cost of sales of $10.9 million. In addition, compensation expense decreased $1.3 million mainly due to a decrease of employee benefits of approximately $973,000, other expense from real estate partnership operations decreased $629,000 and furniture and equipment decreased $343,000. These decreases were offset by an increase in occupancy expense of $892,000 and an increase in other non-interest expense of $586,000. In addition, data processing expense increased $379,000 and marketing expense increased $299,000.
Real Estate Segment. Net income generated by the real estate segment decreased $108,000 for fiscal 2007 to a net loss of $1.7 million from a net loss of $1.6 million in fiscal 2006. The primary reason for the decrease for fiscal 2007 was a decrease of $15.0 million in partnership sales, which was offset in part by a $10.9 million decrease in real estate investment cost of sales, a $2.0 million decrease in minority interest in income of real estate partnerships and a $424,000 decrease in income tax expense. Future sales revenues are based on several factors, including the interest rate environment. Therefore, management cannot predict future activity.
Minority Interests. Minority 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 minority interest decreased $2.0 million from income of $1.7 million in fiscal 2006 to a loss of $241,000 in fiscal 2007. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of partnership sales and cost of sales.
For more information on the effects of the implementation of FIN 46 on 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 $6.3 million for fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2007 was 38.68% as compared to 40.90% for fiscal 2006. The decrease in the effective tax rate for fiscal 2007 was due to the tax benefit recorded for the deduction of dividends paid by the Corporation to employee benefit plans in prior periods of approximately $1.0 million. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Fourth Quarter Results
Effective January 2, 2008, the Corporation acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of S&C Bank (“S&C”), headquartered in New Richmond, Wisconsin for a total purchase price of $106.0 million. Direct costs of the acquisition were $890,000. Total assets acquired were $380.7 million. At the date of acquisition, S&C became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation and on February 8, 2008, S&C was merged into the Corporation. On February 15, 2008, the Corporation sold three branches of S&C that were located in Minnesota.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $5.6 million, compared to $8.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2007. The results for the fourth quarter of 2008 generated an annualized return on average assets of 0.43% and an annualized return on average equity of 6.56%, compared to 0.74% and 9.72%, respectively, for the same period in 2007.
Net interest income was $35.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $5.3 million from $29.8 million for the comparable period in 2007. The net interest margin was 2.84% for the fourth quarter of
39
2008 and 2.81% for the fourth quarter of 2007. Reflected in the increase is a $1.6 million adjustment for the over accrual of interest expense in prior quarters. See note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Provision for loan losses was $10.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Net charge-offs were $3.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to $3.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Asset Quality” section below for further analysis of the allowance for loan losses.
Non-interest income was $13.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $2.1 million compared to $11.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The majority of the increase was attributable to a $2.5 million increase in income from net gain on sale of loans. In addition, service charges on deposits increased $1.0 million. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in other categories. Income from the Corporation’s real estate segment decreased $1.9 million and loan servicing income decreased $483,000.
Non-interest expense increased $5.2 million to $29.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 from $24.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 primarily due to a $3.0 million increase in compensation expense. In addition, other non-interest expense increased $1.9 million and occupancy expense increased $888,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in expenses from the Corporation’s real estate segment of $1.4 million.
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $2.3 million to $2.8 million compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 2007. Included in the decrease is a $415,000 adjustment reducing tax expense for a re-evaluation of the effect of the implementation of FIN 48. The effective tax rate was 33.5% and 38.20% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate was mainly impacted by the adjustments described above.

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 increased $609.9 million, or 13.43%, from $4.54 billion at March 31, 2007 to $5.15 billion at March 31, 2008. This increase was primarily attributable to the merger of S&C Bank into the Corporation which increased assets by $437.2 million as well as a $53.2 million increase in loans, which was funded primarily by an increase in borrowings.
Mortgage-Related Securities. Mortgage-related securities (both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity) increased $21.4 million during the year due to purchases of $90.8 million partially offset by principal repayments and market value adjustments of $53.6 million and sales of $15.8 million. Mortgage-related securities consisted of $142.8 million of mortgage-backed securities ($142.7 million were available for sale and $59,000 were held to maturity) and $126.6 million of mortgage-derivative securities (all of which were available for sale) at March 31, 2008. See Notes 1 and 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Mortgage-related 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 and interest rate 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, and (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.
Loans Receivable. Total net loans increased $334.0 million during fiscal 2008 from $3.88 billion at March 31, 2007 to $4.21 billion at March 31, 2008. The activity included (i) originations of $1.85 billion, (ii) sales of $655.6 million and (iii) principal repayments and other reductions of $863.0 million.
During 2008, the Corporation originated $1.19 billion of loans for investment, as compared to $1.44 billion and $1.67 billion during fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. Of the $1.19 billion of loans originated for investment in fiscal 2008, $209.9 million or 17.6% was comprised of single-family residential loans, $354.0 million or 29.7% was comprised of multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans, $367.6 million or 30.8% was comprised of construction and land loans, $157.0 million or 13.2% was comprised of consumer loans and $103.3 million or 8.7% was comprised of commercial business loans. Single-family residential loans held by the Corporation for investment amounted to $893.0 million and $843.7 million at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which represented approximately 20.4% and 20.8% of gross loans held for investment in 2008 and 2007, 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, increased $274.5 million or 8.5% from March 31, 2007 to March 31, 2008 and represented approximately 79.6% and 79.2% of gross loans held for investment at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Single-family residential loans originated for sale amounted to $530.3 million in fiscal 2008, as compared to $283.7 million and $534.3 million in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively. This increase was primarily attributable to the decreasing interest rate environment in fiscal 2008. At March 31, 2008, loans held for sale, which consisted of single-family residential loans, multi-family residential loans and commercial real estate loans, amounted to $9.7 million, as compared to $4.5 million at March 31, 2007. Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market.
Non-Performing Assets. Non-performing assets (consisting of non-accrual loans, non-performing real estate held for development and sale, foreclosed properties and repossessed assets) increased to $109.5 million or 2.13% of total assets at March 31, 2008 from $54.5 million, or 1.20%, of total assets at March 31, 2007.

Non-accrual loans increased $54.2 million in fiscal 2008 to $101.2 million at March 31, 2008. This increase was largely attributable to a $17.2 million increase in non-accrual commercial real estate loans, a $13.2 million increase in construction and land loans, a $13.0 million increase in commercial business loans, an increase of $8.2 million in non-accrual single-family residential loans, a $1.6 million increase in consumer loans and a $1.1 million increase in non-accrual multi-family residential loans. The increase in non-accrual commercial real estate loans was attributable to the addition of five loans with a carrying value of $1.0 million or more ($9.1 million in the aggregate) as well as four loans to one borrower ($1.2 million in the aggregate). The increase in non-accrual construction and land loans was largely attributable to the addition of four loans with a carrying value of $1.0 million or more ($6.7 million in the aggregate). The increase in non-accrual commercial business loans was largely attributable to the addition of two loans with a carrying value of $1.0 million or more ($2.8 million in the aggregate) as well as four loans to one borrower ($1.3 million in the aggregate). These loans were to a developer and are not owner-occupied single-family loans. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of 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. As a matter of policy, the Corporation does not accrue interest on loans past due more than 90 days. Additionally, loans past due less than 90 days may be placed on non-accrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of 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.
Foreclosed properties and repossessed assets increased $836,000 in fiscal 2008. The majority of the increase was due to the addition of a multi-family residential loan totaling $2.5 million offset by the sale of several related
44
single family properties with a carrying value of $1.8 million. At March 31, 2008, the Bank had one foreclosed property with a net carrying value of $1.0 million or more. At March 31, 2008 and 2007, there was $400,000 of troubled debt restructurings.

The interest income that would have been recorded during fiscal 2008 if the Bank’s non-accrual loans at the end of the period had been current in accordance with their terms during the period was $6.8 million. The amount of interest income attributable to these loans and included in interest income during fiscal 2008 was $3.1 million.
Potential Problem Loans. Management utilizes an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem assets. At least quarterly, a list is presented to the Bank’s Board of Directors showing all loans listed as “Special Mention”, “Substandard”, “Doubtful” or “Loss.” A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan at some future date. An asset is classified Substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Assets classified as Loss are those considered uncollectible and viewed as non-bankable assets, worthy of charge-off. Assets that do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but possess weaknesses that may or may not be within the control of the customer are deemed to be Watch loans. As of March 31, 2008, loans classified as Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss totaled $143.9 million ($104.1 million of which is considered impaired) compared to $61.1 million ($47.8 million of which is considered impaired) as of March 31, 2007, an increase of $82.8 million. The $82.8 million increase in classified assets was attributable to the addition of fifteen single- and multi-family residential loans with a carrying value greater of $1.0 million or more that totaled $41.4 million in the aggregate. The increase was also attributable to the addition of four commercial real estate loans ($7.7 million in the aggregate).
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. The OTS, in conjunction with the other federal banking agencies, has adopted an interagency policy statement on the allowance for loan losses. The policy statement provides guidance for financial institutions on both the responsibilities of management for the assessment and establishment of adequate allowances and guidance for banking agency examiners to use in determining the adequacy of general valuation guidelines. Generally, the policy statement recommends that (i) institutions have effective systems and controls to identify, monitor and address asset quality problems; (ii) management has analyzed all significant factors that affect the collectibility of the portfolio in a reasonable manner; and (iii) management has established acceptable allowance evaluation processes that meet the objectives set forth in the policy statement. We have established an adequate allowance for probable loan losses. We analyze the process regularly, with modifications made if needed, and report those results four times per year to the Bank’s Board of Directors. However, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing our loan portfolio, will not request us to materially increase our allowance for loan losses at the time. Although management believes that
45
adequate specific and general loan loss allowances have been established, actual losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further additions to the level of specific and general loan loss allowances may become necessary.
Allowances for Loan and Foreclosure 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 collectibility 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 collectibility 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 five-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.
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 to Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Statement No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The general allowance covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for the various qualitative and quantitative factors listed above, pursuant to FASB Statement No. 5, or FASB 5, Accounting for Contingencies. Loans graded substandard and below are individually examined closely to determine the appropriate loan loss reserve.

Total loan charge-offs were $7.9 million and $7.2 million for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Total loan charge-offs for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 increased $696,000 and decreased $7.9 million respectively, from the prior fiscal years. The increase in charge-offs for fiscal 2008 was largely due to an increase of $3.7 million in mortgage loan charge-offs and a $446,000 increase in consumer loan charge-offs, which was offset in part by a $3.4 million decrease in commercial business charge-offs. The decrease in charge-offs for fiscal 2007 was largely due to a decrease of $7.7 million in commercial business charge-offs as well as a $168,000 decrease in consumer loan charge-offs, which were offset in part by a $14,000 increase in mortgage loan charge-offs. Recoveries decreased $574,000 from $909,000 in fiscal 2007 to $335,000 in fiscal 2008. Recoveries increased $608,000 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
The provision for loan losses increased $11.3 million to $22.6 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 compared to $11.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2007. The increase 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 2.31% at March 31, 2008 from 1.16% at March 31, 2007 as well as an increase in total non-performing assets to 2.13% at March 31, 2008 from 1.20% at March 31, 2007 to be factors that warranted an increase in the provision for loan losses.

Management increased the allowance for the single-family residential loan portfolio due to management analysis of individual spec builders which indicate potential losses due to the slow down of residential real estate transactions. Of the $5.1 million allocated to single-family residential, $2.9 million is due to specific credits. Management increased the ratio for the commercial real estate and construction and land loan portfolios primarily due to the analysis of individual credits which required allocation of additional reserves for potential loss as well as the increase in non-performing loans. Approximately half of the allowance allocated to commercial real estate and construction and land categories are related to specific loans. Of the $7.9 million allocated to commercial business $3.0 million is related to specific loans. Overall, of the Corporation’s $38.3 million allowance for loan losses, $17.6 million is related to specific loans.
Although management believes that the March 31, 2008 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 collection, repossession and disposal, and adheres to high underwriting standards in the origination process in order to continue to maintain strong asset quality.
Deposits. Deposits increased $291.7 million during fiscal 2008 to $3.54 billion, of which $114.3 million was due to increases in certificates of deposit, $78.5 million was due to increases in money market accounts, $67.7 million was due to increases in interest bearing checking accounts and $27.0 million was due to increases in passbook accounts. The increases were due to promotions and related growth of deposit households as interest rates begin to edge upward in fiscal 2008. Deposits obtained from brokerage firms which solicit deposits from their customers for deposit with the Corporation amounted to $220.3 million at March 31, 2008, as compared to $363.7 million at March 31, 2007. The weighted average cost of deposits increased to 3.45% in fiscal 2008 compared to 3.67% in fiscal 2007.
Borrowings. FHLB advances increased $249.5 million during fiscal 2008. At March 31, 2008, advances totaled $1.06 billion and had a weighted average interest rate of 3.63% compared to advances of $810.3 million with
48
a weighted average interest rate of 4.64% at March 31, 2007. Other loans payable increased $56.7 million from the prior fiscal year. Other loans payable consist of borrowings of the Corporation of $118.5 million, which was primarily for the purpose of the Corporation’s stock repurchase program as well as for the acquisition of S&C Bank, an increase of $54.9 million over March 31, 2007. In addition, borrowings by the partnerships of IDI’s subsidiaries were $28.4 million at March 31, 2008, an increase of $1.8 million over March 31, 2007. Per FIN 46R, such borrowings are consolidated into the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. For additional information, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.
Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2008 was $345.1 million, or 6.70% of total assets, compared to $336.9 million, or 7.42% of total assets at March 31, 2007. Stockholders’ equity increased during the year as a result of (i) comprehensive income of $33.5 million, which includes net income of $31.1 million and an increase in net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities included as a part of accumulated other comprehensive income of $2.4 million, (ii) the exercise of stock options of $838,000, (iii) the purchase of stock by retirement plans of $1.2 million and (iv) the tax benefit from certain stock options of $178,000. These increases were partially offset by (i) the repurchase of common stock of $12.6 million and (ii) the payment of cash dividends of $14.9 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a parent-only basis at March 31, 2008, the Corporation’s commitments and debt service requirements consisted primarily of $118.5 million payable to U.S. Bank pursuant to a $120.0 million line of credit and $28.4 million of mortgage loans to subsidiaries of the Corporation secured by real estate held for development. The weighted average rate on the line of credit was 3.93% at March 31, 2008 and the line of credit matures in January 2009. Corporation loans to IDI and other non-bank subsidiaries amounted to $28.9 million at March 31, 2008.
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 2008, the Bank made dividend payments of $16.0 million to the Corporation, and at March 31, 2008 the Bank had $55.6 million available for dividends that could be paid to the Corporation without application for approval by (but with prior notice to) the OTS.
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, 2008, the Bank had $220.3 million of brokered deposits.
In fiscal 2008, consolidated operating activities resulted in a net cash inflow of $16.8 million. Operating cash flows for fiscal 2008 included earnings of $31.1 million and $1.2 million of net proceeds from the origination and sale of mortgage loans held for sale.
Consolidated investing activities in fiscal 2008 resulted in a net cash outflow of $121.2 million. Primary investing activities resulting in cash outflows were $387.7 million for the purchase of securities and $911.0 million for the origination of loans receivable. The most significant cash inflows from investing activities were principal repayments on loans of $867.9 million, proceeds of sales and maturities of investment securities of $341.3 million and $57.2 million of principal repayments received on mortgage-related securities.
49
Consolidated financing activities resulted in a net cash inflow of $240.1 million in fiscal 2008, including a net decrease in deposits of $17.9 million, a net increase in borrowings of $283.7 million and a cash outflow of $12.6 million for treasury stock purchases.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
At March 31, 2008, on a consolidated basis the Corporation had outstanding commitments to originate $119.2 million of loans and commitments to extend funds to or on behalf of customers pursuant to lines and letters of credit of $352.5 million. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. Commitments to extend funds typically have a term of less than one year. Scheduled maturities of certificates of deposit during the twelve months following March 31, 2008 amounted to $2.00 billion, and scheduled maturities of borrowings during the same period totaled $355.6 million. Management believes adequate capital and borrowings are available from various sources to fund all commitments to the extent required.

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, 2008 for one year or less was a positive 10.46% of total assets, which was 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
50
deposits sensitive to interest rates and may also affect transaction accounts, in particular, passbooks and money market accounts in the future.
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, 2008.

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
51
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.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

|
March 31, 2008 | | | 15.84 | % | | | 8.23 | % | | | (8.95 | )% | | | (17.66 | )% |
March 31, 2007 | | | 14.19 | % | | | 8.10 | % | | | (8.75 | )% | | | (18.79 | )% |
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.

Note 1 — | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
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, ADPC Corporation and Willow River. IDI’s wholly owned subsidiaries are Nevada Investment Directions, Inc. (“NIDI”) and California Investment Directions, Inc. (“CIDI”). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Corporation also consolidates certain variable interest entities (joint ventures and other 50% or less owned partnerships) to which the Corporation is the primary beneficiary pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“FIN 46R”).
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 deferred tax assets and the fair value of financial instruments.
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 and Mortgage-Related Securities Held-to-Maturity and Available-For-Sale. Debt securities that the Corporation has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are stated at amortized cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with the 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, and declines in value judged to be other than temporary, are included in “Net gain on sale of securities” in the consolidated statements of income as a component of other income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. When the Corporation sells held-to-maturity securities, it is in accordance with SFAS No. 115 and the securities are substantially mature.
Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, 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. If a loss is deemed to be other-than-temporary, it is recognized as a realized loss in the consolidated statement of income with the security assigned a new cost basis.
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
60
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
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 pursuant to SFAS 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, 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. Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of cost or market 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 applied to interest 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.
Foreclosed Properties and Repossessed Assets. Real estate acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure and other repossessed assets is 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.
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
61
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 expected losses resulting from analysis developed through specific credit allocations on individual loans and are based on a regular analysis of impaired loans where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification. 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 the 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.
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 net income (loss) from operations of real estate investments.
Real estate held for development and sale of $59.0 million consists of assets of the subsidiaries which invest in consolidated partnerships of $45.4 million (which includes construction in progress, land and improvements) as well as assets of wholly owned subsidiaries of $13.6 million. Cash and other assets of the variable interest entities of $3.5 million and $9.5 million, respectively, are reported as cash and accrued interest on investments and loans and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Liabilities total $59.3 million consisting of borrowings of the consolidated partnerships of $28.4 million, reported in Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings, other liabilities of the same entities of $30.9 million, reported in other liabilities and minority interest of $6.1 million, which represents the ownership interests of the other partners.
The assets and liabilities in real estate held for development and sale is summarized in the following table:

Real estate segment 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.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Goodwill represents 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. The Company follows SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment, or more often if events or circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. 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.
Advertising Costs. All advertising costs incurred by the Corporation are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
63
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
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.
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 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 potential common shares 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.
Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income is the total of reported net income 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 11 for further discussion of the plans.
Repurchase Plan. For the year ended March 31, 2008, the Corporation repurchased approximately 469,000 shares of common stock on the open market with a weighted average price of $27.26 per share. 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 discuss in Note 12. Compensation is granted in the forms of restricted stock and stock options.
The Corporation adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in 2007 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of April 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to April 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123(R). Results for the prior periods have not been restated. FAS 123(R) requires the cash flow resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. Volatility is measured at the time options are granted. Prior to April 1, 2006, the Corporation accounted for stock awards under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“FAS 123”). No stock-based employee compensation cost was recognized in the Statements of Income for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
64
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The compensation expense recognized related to restricted stock awards was $644,000, $400,000 and $317,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Corporation had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123 to options granted under the Corporation’s stock compensation plans in all periods presented. For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the value of the options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing formula and amortized expense over the options’ vesting periods.

The pro forma amounts indicated above may not be representative of the effects on reported net income for future years. The fair values of stock options granted in fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model based on certain assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical daily volatilities of Company shares. The risk free rate for periods within the contractual term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected life of options is estimated based on historical employee behavior and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to outstanding. These assumptions are summarized in the following table.

Current Accounting Developments.
Income Taxes. In June 2006, the FASB, issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Corporation
65
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
adopted this Statement during the year ended March 31, 2008. Adoption of the FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. FAS 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets. Under FAS 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy. The requirements of FAS 157 are first effective for the Corporation’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, the FASB decided that an entity need not apply this standard to non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until the subsequent year. Accordingly, our adoption of this standard on April 1, 2008 is limited to financial assets and liabilities, and any nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed on a recurring basis. No significant impact is expected on the consolidated financial statements at the time of adoption.
Fair Value Option. In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” which provides all entities, including not-for-profit organizations, with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of the Statement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply the complex provisions of hedge accounting. Certain specified items are eligible for the irrevocable fair value measurement option as established by Statement No. 159. Statement No. 159 is effective for the Corporation’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this Statement will have on its financial position, results of operation and cash flows.
Business Combinations. On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under Statement 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS 141R will change the accounting treatment for certain specific items, including:
| | |
| • | acquisition costs will be generally expensed as incurred; |
|
| • | noncontrolling interests (formerly known as “minority interests”) will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; |
|
| • | acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies; |
|
| • | the acquirer shall not recognize a separate valuation allowance as of the acquisition date for assets acquired in a business that are measured at their acquisition-date fair value; |
|
| • | restructuring costs associated with a business combination will be generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and |
|
| • | changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. |
SFAS 141R also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Management is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 141R and its potential effect on its financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Noncontrolling Interests. On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51(SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Management is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 160 and its potential effect on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s operating results, financial position, and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of FAS 161 and have not yet adopted the statement. However, as the provisions of FAS 161 are only related to disclosure of derivative and hedging activities, we do not believe the adoption of FAS 161 will have a material impact on our consolidated operating results, financial position, or cash flows.
Reclassifications. Certain 2007 and 2006 accounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentations. The reclassifications had no impact on prior year’s net income or stockholders’ equity.

Note 2 — | Business Combination |
Business Combination. The following business combination was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in the Corporation’s results of operations since the date of acquisition. Under this method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values, net of applicable income tax effects. The excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
Effective January 2, 2008, the Corporation acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of S&C Bank (“S&C”), headquartered in New Richmond, Wisconsin. The definitive agreement (the “agreement”) was entered into on July 11, 2007 and, pursuant to that agreement, the Corporation purchased all of the outstanding shares of S&C. Under the terms of the agreement, 235,071 shares of S&C common stock were purchased by the Corporation and S&C shareholders received $450.93 in cash for each share of S&C common stock for a total purchase price of $106.0 million. Direct costs of the acquisition were $890,000. At the date of acquisition, S&C became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation and on February 8, 2008, S&C was merged into the Corporation. On February 15, 2008, the Corporation sold three branches of S&C that were located in Minnesota.
As the merger closed on January 2, 2008, S&C’s results were not included in the Corporation’s results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2007, but are included for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The merger increases the Corporation’s presence in Wisconsin to include northwest Wisconsin.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The foregoing represent four investment securities at March 31, 2008 compared to sixteen at March 31, 2007 that, due primarily to the current interest rate environment, have declined in value but do not presently represent realized losses. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, 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.
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. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.
Proceeds from sales of investment securities available for sale during the year ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $24.1 million and $65,000, respectively. There were no sales of investment securities available for sale during the year ended March 31, 2006. Gross gains of $320,000 were realized on sales in 2008. There were no gross gains realized on sales of investment securities for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Gross losses of $87,000 and $283,000 were realized on sales for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. There were no gross losses realized on sales of investment securities for the year ended March 31, 2006.
At March 31, 2008, investment securities with a fair value of approximately $36.1 million were pledged to secure deposits, borrowings and for other purposes as permitted or required by law.
The fair value of investment securities by contractual maturity at March 31, 2008 are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Municipal bonds subject to three-month calls amount to $2.4 million at March 31, 2008. Municipal bonds subject to six-month calls at March 31, 2008 are $1.1 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The foregoing represent 47 securities at March 31, 2008 compared to eighty one at March 31, 2007 that, due to the current interest rate environment, have declined in value but do not presently represent realized losses. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (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. At March 31, 2008 and 2007, unrealized losses on debt securities are generally due to changes in interest rates and as such, are considered by the Corporation to be temporary.
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. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.
Proceeds from sales of mortgage-related securities available for sale during the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2006 were $16.0 million and $20.1 million, respectively.

The Corporation adopted FAS 156 — “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“FAS 156”) as of April 1, 2006. FAS 156 changes the way the Corporation accounts for servicing assets and obligations associated with financial assets disposed of or acquired. Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) are recorded 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 to be accounted for under FAS 156 — 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 obtains a servicing asset when we deliver loans “as an agent” to the FHLB of Chicago under its MPF program. Initial fair value of the servicing right is calculated by 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 by a discounted cash flow model based on market value assumptions at the time of origination at each reporting period.
Critical assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model include mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates, costs to service and ancillary 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 value assumptions based on loan product types — fixed rate, adjustable rate and balloon loans - include discount rates in the range of 9 to 21 percent and national prepayment speeds. 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 generally increase as customers refinance existing mortgages under more favorable interest rate terms. As
75
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
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 and 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.

(1) | | Stemming from the Bank’s purchase of S&C Bank on January 2, 2008, an adjustment was made to the market values of FHLB advances. The market value of FHLB advances was determined by discounting cash flows using current borrowing rates for the remaining contractual maturity. |
The Bank selects loans that meet underwriting criteria established by the FHLB as collateral for outstanding advances. FHLB advances are limited to 85% of single-family loans, 70% of multi-family loans and to 50% 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 and $41,361,000 at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The FHLB borrowings are also collateralized by mortgage-related securities with a fair value of $119.4 million and $154.2 million at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Corporation had drawn a total of $118.5 million at a weighted average interest rate of 3.93% and $63.6 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6.16%, respectively, on a short term line of credit at U.S. Bank. The total line of credit available is $120.0 million. The interest is based on a money market rate (estimated to be 3.55% at March 31, 2008) and LIBOR rates on fixed term loans (estimated to be 4.20% at March 31, 2008), and is payable quarterly and each draw has a specified maturity. Subsequent to March 31, 2008, the Corporation renegotiated the terms of the line of credit to seek relief from various covenants within the contract.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The final maturity of the line of credit is September 2008. The remaining balance of $28.4 million of other loans payable represent mortgage loans on real estate held for development at a weighted average interest rate of 6.20%.

Note 11 — | 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. No preferred stock has been issued.
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.
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, 2008, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of March 31, 2008, the most recent notification from the OTS categorizes the Bank as well capitalized 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. There have been no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The qualification results in a lower assessment of FDIC premiums and other benefits.
The following table summarizes the Bank’s capital ratios and the ratios required by its federal regulators at March 31, 2008 and 2007:

The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend if such declaration and payment would violate regulatory requirements. Unlike the Bank, the Corporation is not subject to these regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends to its stockholders. However, the source of its future corporate dividends depends upon dividends from the Bank.

Note 12 — | 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 may contribute up to 50% of their base compensation. The Corporation matches 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. The Corporation may also contribute additional amounts at its discretion. The Corporation’s contribution was $963,000, $887,000, and $845,000, for the years ended March 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, 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. The ESOP expense for fiscal year 2006 was $589,000. There was no ESOP expense for fiscal year 2008 and 2007.
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, 2008 and 2007, the ESOP held 1,270,438 shares and
81
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
1,355,508 shares, respectively, all of which have been allocated to ESOP participants. The fair market value of those shares totaled $24.1 million and $38.4 million as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the fair market value of the stock purchased by the Company from ESOP participants totaled $979,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. The Corporation expects the amount it may be required to pay during 2009 for shares from ESOP participants will approximate the amount paid during 2008.
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, 2008, 2007 and 2006. 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. The amount amortized to expense was $33,000 for the year ended March 31, 2006. There was no MRP amortized to compensation expense for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. Shares vested during the year ended March 31, 2006 and distributed to the employees totaled 5,500. There were no shares vested during the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
The activity in the MRP shares is as follows:

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.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2008 was $970,000.
In March 2006, the Board approved the accelerated vesting and exercisability of all unvested and unexercisable stock options to purchase common stock of the Corporation outstanding as of March 31, 2006. As a result, options to
82
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
purchase 67,240 shares of common stock, which would have otherwise vested and become exercisable from time to time over the next four years (including options to purchase 30,168 shares of common stock that would have vested and become exercisable in June 2006), became vested and exercisable on March 31, 2006. The number of shares and exercise price of the options subject to acceleration are unchanged. The accelerated options have exercise prices between $23.77 and $31.945 per share, with a weighted average exercise price of $26.43 per share.
The Corporation estimates that accelerating the vesting and exercisability of these options eliminated approximately $0.5 million of non-cash compensation expense that would otherwise have been recorded in the Corporation’s income statements in future periods upon its adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share- Based Payment, as of April 1, 2006.
At March 31, 2008, 877,364 shares were available for future grants.

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 32,700, 55,000 and 27,300 shares granted at fair value under the plan during the year ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The restricted stock grant plan expense was $644,000, $400,000 and $317,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Corporation has two types of deferred compensation plans to benefit certain executives of the Corporation and the Bank. The first type of plan provides for contributions by both the participant and the Corporation equal to
83
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
the amounts in excess of limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code amendment of 1986. The expense associated with this plan for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $67,000, $102,000 and $90,000, respectively. The amount accrued at March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $12,000, $90,000 and $110,000, respectively. The second type of plan provides for contributions by the Corporation to supplement the participant’s retirement. The expense associated with this plan for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $249,000, $163,000 and $781,000, respectively. When the benefits are to be paid to the participants, they are paid in a fixed number of shares of company stock. These two plans are reported in other liabilities with a related contra account reported as a deferred compensation obligation in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets.
As of March 31, 2008, there was approximately $1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements (including share option and nonvested share awards) granted under the Plan. The fair value of stock that vested during the year ended March 31, 2008 was $660,000.

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
85
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
expected to be taken, in tax returns. The initial adoption of this Interpretation had no material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.
A reconciliation of the change in unrecognized tax benefits from April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008 is as follows:
| | | | |
Balance at April 1, 2007 | | $ | 359 | |
Reductions for tax positions of prior years | | | 54 | |
| | | | |
Balance at March 31, 2008 | | $ | 305 | |
| | | | |
The whole amount of unrecognized tax benefits would affect the tax provision and the effective income tax rate if recognized in future periods.
The Corporation elects to treat interest and penalties recognized for the underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense, to the extent not included in unrecognized tax benefits. As of March 31, 2008, the Corporation had $50,000 of accrued interest included in unrecognized tax benefits. The Corporation’s federal and various state income tax returns are open and subject to examination from the 2004 tax return year and forward.
Financial Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others,” (FIN 45) requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value as a liability at inception and when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, as those terms are defined in FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” FIN 45 also requires a guarantor to make significant new disclosures (see below) even when the likelihood of making any payments under the guarantee is remote.
The Corporation’s real estate investment subsidiary, IDI, is required to guaranty the partnership loans of its subsidiaries, for the development of homes for sale. These subsidiaries are consolidated in these financial statements as VIE’s since IDI or its wholly owned subsidiaries is the primary beneficiary. These loans are secured by lots and homes being developed at rates ranging from 5.75% to 6.51%. As of March 31, 2008 the Corporation’s real estate investment subsidiary, IDI, had guaranteed $31.5 million for the following partnerships on behalf of the respective subsidiaries. As of that same date, $28.2 million is outstanding. The table below summarizes the individual subsidiaries and their respective guarantees and outstanding loan balances.

IDI has real estate partnership investments within its subsidiaries for which it guarantees the above loans. These partnerships are also funded by financing with loans guaranteed by IDI and secured by the lots and homes being developed within each of the respective partnership entities.
As a limited partner, the Corporation still has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. This influence is evident in the terms of the respective partnership agreements and participation in policy-making processes. The Corporation has a 50% controlling interest in the respective limited partnerships and therefore has significant influence over the right to approve the sale or refinancing of assets of the respective partnerships in accordance with those partnership agreements.
In acting as a partner with a controlling interest, the Corporation is committed to providing additional levels of funding to meet partnership operating deficits up to an aggregate amount of $31.5 million. At March 31, 2008, the
86
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Corporation’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of involvement with these limited partnerships was $6.6 million as detailed in Note 1.
The partnership agreements generally contain buy-sell provisions whereby certain partners can require the purchase or sale of ownership interests by certain partners.
| |
Note 15 — | 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):
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | |
|
Commitments to extend credit: | | | | | | | | |
Fixed rate | | $ | 94,290 | | | $ | 58,844 | |
Adjustable rate | | | 24,934 | | | | 32,237 | |
Unused lines of credit: | | | | | | | | |
Home equity | | | 136,458 | | | | 91,630 | |
Credit cards | | | 40,368 | | | | 40,799 | |
Commercial | | | 128,505 | | | | 125,560 | |
Letters of credit | | | 47,218 | | | | 59,910 | |
Credit enhancement under the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago Mortgage Partnership Finance Program | | | 23,698 | | | | 20,902 | |
Real estate investment segment borrowing guarantees unfunded | | | 3,277 | | | | 18,555 | |
Other financial guarantees | | | — | | | | 900 | |
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 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 $9,708,000 and $4,474,000 at March 31, 2008 and 2007, 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, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $89,421,000 and $27,025,000, respectively.
The Corporation participates in the Mortgage Partnership Finance (MPF) Program of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB). The program is intended to provide member institutions with an alternative to holding
87
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
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. 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 may also be liable for certain first layer losses after a specified period of time. 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 $23,698,000 at March 31, 2008 related to approximately $1,663,000,000 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 16 — | 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 15). The fair values of these derivatives were immaterial at March 31, 2008 and 2007.
| |
Note 17 — | 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 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.
88
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
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 and mortgage-related securities: Fair values for investment and mortgage-related 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.
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 sold to the FHLB or other member banks at its par value of $100.
Mortgage Servicing Rights: 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.
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, 2008 and 2007.

Note 19 — | 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 of one-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, and its subsidiaries, NIDI and CIDI, invest in real estate developments. Such developments include recreational residential developments and industrial developments (such as office parks).
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, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note 22 — | Fourth Quarter Adjustments |
The Corporation recorded adjustments in its fourth quarter ending March 31, 2008, which increased net income by $1,362,000, net of income taxes. These fourth quarter adjustments were necessary to correct a misstatement of $415,000 which decreased income tax expense and a misstatement of $948,000 ($1.6 million, net of taxes of $631,000) which decreased interest expense and increased net income. The income tax expense misstatement related to management’s year endre-evaluation of its adoption of FIN 48 and interest expense misstatement related to an overaccrual which had accumulated on its Index powered CD product. The effect of the correcting the misstatements was to increase net income for the year ending March 31, 2008 by $1.4 million, which is net of income taxes of $631,000 on the ICPD adjustment reduced by the $415,000 effect of FIN 48 adjustment. These fourth quarter adjustments are not considered material to the fourth quarter or any previous quarter, and the effect of these adjustments is not considered material to the current year or prior year’s audited statements.

Madison, Wisconsin
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. (the Corporation) as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2008. 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 consolidated 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, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
To the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc.
Madison, Wisconsin
We have audited Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. (the Corporation’s) internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued 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 accompanyingManagement’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.
In our opinion, the corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008, based on criteria established inInternal Control-Integrated Frameworkissued by the COSO.
On January 2, 2008, the Corporation acquired S&C Bank. S&C Bank was merged into AnchorBank fsb, another wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, as of February 8, 2008. As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, management elected to exclude the operations of the former S&C Bank branches from the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008. Total deposits excluding accrued interest of the branches that were formerly branches of S&C Bank were $298,612,765 as of March 31, 2008, which is 8.49% of consolidated total deposits excluding accrued interest. Our audit of internal controls over financial reporting of the Corporation also excluded an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting of the operations of the branches that were formerly part of S&C Bank.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the March 31, 2008 financial statements of the Corporation and our report dated June 13, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion.

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, 2008. 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 effective as of March 31, 2008. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008 has been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report included in Item 8.
On January 2, 2008, the Corporation acquired S&C Bank. S&C Bank was merged into AnchorBank fsb, another wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, as of February 8, 2008. As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, management elected to exclude the operations of the former S&C Bank branches from the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008. Total deposits excluding accrued interest of the branches that were formerly branches of S&C Bank were $298.6 million as of March 31, 2008, which is 8.49% of consolidated total deposits excluding accrued interest. Our audit of internal controls over financial reporting of the Corporation also excluded an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting of the operations of the branches that were formerly part of S&C Bank.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined inRules 13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Corporation’s fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
