EXPLANATORY NOTE
Anchor Bancorp Wisconsin Inc. is filing this amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2009, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 8, 2010. This Amendment is being filed to amend and restate our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009.
In conjunction with its review of the results of operations in connection with the annual audit, management discovered a systemic error in the recognition of federal deposit insurance premium expense. While the quarterly federal deposit insurance premiums are currently billed in arrears, the premium notices were being treated as billed in advance, as had been the case in prior years. This error was compounded by the significant increase in the amount of the federal deposit insurance premiums in the current fiscal year. As a result of its analysis of the accounting error, management determined that federal insurance premium expense was understated by $1.2 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and total equity was cumulatively overstated by $8.9 million at that date.
The information in this Amendment has been updated to give effect to the restatement. Anchor Bancorp Wisconsin, Inc. has not updated the information in the initial Form 10-Q, except as necessary to reflect the effects of the restatement described above. Information not affected by the restatement is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the filing of the initial Form 10-Q on February 8, 2010. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our subsequent filings with the SEC, as information in such filings may update or supersede certain information contained in this Amendment.

ANCHOR BANCORP WISCONSIN INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. (the “Corporation”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AnchorBank fsb (the “Bank”) and Investment Directions, Inc. (“IDI”). The Bank’s accounts and results of operations include its wholly-owned subsidiaries ADPC Corporation (“ADPC”) and Anchor Investment Corporation (“AIC”). Significant inter-company balances 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 (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810-10-15, “Consolidation.”
Note 2 — Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been included.
In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited 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 investment securities. The results of operations and other data for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010. We have evaluated all subsequent events through the date of this filing. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.
The Corporation’s investment in real estate held for investment and sale includes 50% owned real estate partnerships which are considered variable interest entities (“VIE’s”) and therefore subject to the requirements of ASC 810-10-15. ASC 810-10-15 requires the consolidation of entities in which an enterprise absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity.
Other revenue and other expenses from real estate operations are also included in non-interest income and non-interest expense, respectively.
Noncontrolling interest in real estate partnerships represents the equity interests of development partners in the real estate investment partnerships. The development partners’ share of income is reflected as non-controlling interest in income of consolidated real estate partnership operations.
Certain prior period accounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentations. The reclassifications had no impact on prior year’s consolidated net loss or stockholders’ equity.

Note 3 — Significant Risks and Uncertainties
While the Corporation has devoted and will continue to devote substantial management resources toward the resolution of all delinquent, impaired and nonaccrual loans, no assurance can be made that management’s efforts will be successful. These conditions create an uncertainty about material adverse consequences that may occur in the near term. The continuing recession and the decrease in valuations of real estate have had a significant adverse impact on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations. As reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Corporation has incurred a net loss of $10.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and a net loss of $150.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009. Stockholders’ equity decreased from $211.4 million or 4.01% of total assets at March 31, 2009 to $52.2 million or 1.17% of total assets at December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009, the Bank’s Risk-based capital is considered undercapitalized for regulatory purposes. Additionally, the Bank’s risk-based capital and Tier 1 capital ratios are below the target levels of the Order to Cease and Desist dated June 26, 2009. The recent losses originate from a provision for loan losses of $141.8 million, for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009, along with an increase in nonaccrual loans, which has reduced the Corporation’s net interest income. The Corporation’s net interest income will continue to be impacted by the level of non-performing assets and the Corporation expects additional losses for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Management of the Corporation has taken significant actions in the credit risk area to limit any additional material adverse consequences. These efforts include the following:
1.   Realigned corporate structure to ensure that risk is adequately and appropriately identified, mitigated and where possible, eliminated through the:
    Appointment a Chief Credit Risk Officer responsible for overseeing all aspects of corporate risk.
    Creation of a Special Assets Group to properly assess potential collateral shortfall exposure and to develop workout plans.
2.   Created and implemented a new loan risk rating system using qualitative metrics to identify loans with potential risk so they could be properly classified and monitored.
3.   Implemented a new enhanced impairment analysis to evaluate all classified loans.
4.   Introduced a new Allowance for Loan and Lease Policy that improves the timeliness of specific reserves taken for the allowance for loan and lease calculation.
5.   Analyzed the population of recent appraisals received and developed a specific reserve amount to capture the probable deterioration in value.
6.   Established an independent underwriting group that evaluates the total borrowing relationship using a global cash flow methodology.
7.   Began proactive monitoring of matured and delinquent loans.
8.   Proactively reviewing the performing (non-impaired) portfolio for performance issues.
9.   Classified assets are reviewed on a monthly basis.
Management of the Corporation has entered into an agreement for the sale of eleven branches in Northwestern Wisconsin. The buyer will assume approximately $177 million in deposits and receive a corresponding amount in loans, real estate and other assets. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions. If regulatory approval is not received, the Corporation may not achieve the increase capital level anticipated.

The Corporation has entered into agreements with Badger Anchor Holdings, LLC (“Badger Holdings”), pursuant to which Badger Holdings will make up to an aggregate $400 million investment in the Corporation, which amount includes a term loan in the principal amount of $110 million. In connection with the proposed transaction, the Corporation also offered up to 166 million shares of common stock to its shareholders of record as of November 23, 2009. Consummation of the proposed transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including: (i) resolution satisfactory to Badger Holdings of the Corporation’s outstanding loan from U.S. Bank and others in the aggregate principal amount of $116 million; (ii) conversion into common stock of the shares of preferred stock and warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury pursuant to the TARP Capital Purchase Program at an acceptable conversion rate; (iii) shareholder approval of the proposed transaction; (iv) receipt of all required regulatory approvals; (v) the absence of certain material adverse developments with respect to the Corporation and its business and (vi) other terms and conditions typical of similar transactions. On March 31, 2010, the Corporation and Badger Anchor Holdings, LLC mutually terminated the agreement because several conditions to closing had not been met.
The Corporation and the Bank have submitted a capital restoration plan stating that the Bank intends to restore the capital position of the Bank through the proposed transaction with Badger Holdings. If the OTS does not accept the Bank’s plan, the OTS could assess civil money penalties or take other enforcement actions against the Bank or the Corporation. If the proposed transaction is not consummated, including for reasons outside of the Corporation or the Bank’s control, the Bank may be unable to successfully implement its capital restoration plan.
The Corporation and the Bank have consented to the issuance of Orders to Cease and Desist by the Office of Thrift Supervision. The Orders, which are further described in Note 17, place certain restrictions on the Corporation and the Bank.
Further, the Corporation entered into an amendment (Amendment No. 5) to the Credit Agreement with U.S. Bank NA as described in Note 15, which established new financial covenants. Under the terms of the amended Credit Agreement, the Agent and the lenders have certain rights, including the right to accelerate the maturity of the borrowings if all covenants are not complied with. Currently, the Corporation is in compliance with the financial and non-financial covenants. If the above transactions are not consummated, the Corporation may not remain in compliance with the covenants. Accordingly, this creates significant uncertainty related to the Corporation’s operations.
Note 4 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2007, FASB ASC 810-10 “Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment to ASC 860-10was issued. ASC 810-10 changes the way consolidated net earnings are presented. The new standard requires consolidated net earnings to be reported at amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest and will require disclosure on the face of the consolidated statement of operations amounts attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest. The adoption of this statement will result in more transparent reporting of the net earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest. The statement establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation. ASC 810-10 was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Corporation adopted ASC 810-10 on April 1, 2009 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141R, which has now been codified as ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” ASC 805 changed the accounting for business combinations. Under ASC 805, an acquiring entity is required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. In addition,
    acquisition costs are required to be expensed as incurred;
 
    noncontrolling interests (formerly known as “minority interests”) will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date;
 
    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.
ASC 805-10 also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. ASC 805-10 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. The Corporation adopted ASC 805-10 on April 1, 2009, which did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 805-20, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies.” ASC 805-20 amends the guidance in ASC 805-10 to require that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. If fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would generally be recognized in accordance with ASC 942-310-25, “Accounting for Contingencies,” and ASC 450-20, “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss.” ASC 805-20 removes subsequent accounting guidance for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies from ASC 805-10 and requires entities to develop a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies. ASC 805-20 eliminates the requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of outcomes of recognized contingencies at the acquisition date. For unrecognized contingencies, entities are required to include only the disclosures required by ASC 942-310-25. ASC 805-20 also requires that contingent consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a business combination be treated as contingent consideration of the acquirer and should be initially and subsequently measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 805-10. ASC 805-20 is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies the Corporation acquires in business combinations occurring after January 1, 2009.
In February 2008, the FASB issued ASC 860-10 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions.” ASC 860-10 requires the initial transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing that was entered into contemporaneously with or in contemplation of the initial transfer, to be treated as a linked transaction under ASC 860-10, unless certain criteria are met, in which case the initial transfer and repurchase will not be evaluated as a linked transaction, but will be evaluated separately under ASC 860-10. ASC 860-10 was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASC 860-10 did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued ASC 350-10, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” ASC 350-10 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. ASC 350-10 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, on a retrospective basis and was adopted by the Corporation on April 1, 2009. The Corporation has some grants of restricted stock that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are now considered to be participating securities. As participating securities, the Corporation is required to include these instruments in the calculation of earnings per share (EPS), using the “two-class method.”
In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 320-10 “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” ASC 320-10 amended existing other-than-temporary guidance to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. ASC 320-10 modifies the current indicator that, to avoid considering an impairment to be other-than-temporary, management must assert that it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. ASC 320-10 requires management to assert that (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security and (b) it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the security before its recovery. ASC 320-10 changes the total amount recognized in earnings when there are factors other than credit losses associated with an impairment of a debt security. The impairment is separated into impairments related to credit losses and impairments related to all other factors with only the portion of impairment related to credit losses included in earnings in the current period. ASC 320-10 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Corporation adopted ASC 320-10 as of January 1, 2009. The Corporation recognized in earnings $346,000 and $805,000 of credit related other-than-temporary impairments on its non-agency mortgage-related securities portfolio during the quarter ending December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively.

Table of Contents

In April 2009, FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” which has been included in ASC 820. ASC 820-10 provides additional guidance on determining whether a market for a financial asset is not active and a transaction is not distressed. ASC 820-10 was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. In April 2009, FASB also issued ASC 825-10 and ASC 270-10, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instrument.” ASC 825-10 and ASC 270-10 require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim periods of publicly traded companies that were previously only required to be disclosed in annual financial statements. The provisions of ASC 825-10 and ASC 270-10 were effective for the interim period ending June 30, 2009. The disclosures required by ASC 820-10 and ASC 270-10 are included in the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” which has been codified in ASC 855. ASC 855-10 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, ASC 855-10 provides:
    The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements;
 
    The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and
 
    The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.
ASC 855-10 became effective for the Corporation on June 30, 2009.
In June 2009, FASB issued ASC 860-10 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of ASC 860-10” amending ASC 860-10, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. ASC 860-10 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. ASC 860-10 also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. ASC 860-10 will be effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009, or April 1, 2010 for the Corporation. Early application is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the provisions of ASC 860-10 and its potential effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, FASB issued ASC 810-10, “Amendments to ASC 810-10, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. ASC 810-10 requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial statements. ASC 810-10 will be effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009, or April 1, 2010 for the Corporation. Early application is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the provisions of ASC 810-10 and its potential effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

The tables above represent four investment securities at December 31, 2009 compared to ten at March 31, 2009 that, due to the current interest rate environment and other factors, have declined in value but do not presently represent other-than-temporarily impairment. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses on investment securities, management considers many factors which include: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. To determine if an other-than-temporary impairment exists on a debt security, the Bank first determines if (a) it intends to sell the security or (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of the conditions is met, the Bank will recognize an other-than-temporary impairment in earnings equal to the difference between the security’s fair value and its adjusted cost basis. If neither of the conditions is met, the Bank determines (a) the amount of the impairment related to credit loss and (b) the amount of the impairment due to all other factors. The difference between the present values of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis is the credit loss. The credit loss is the portion of the other-than-temporary impairment that is recognized in earnings and is a reduction to the cost basis of the security. The portion of other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is included in other comprehensive income (loss).
In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports.

The tables above represent 64 securities at December 31, 2009 and 72 securities at March 31, 2009 that, due to the current interest rate environment and other factors, have declined in value but do not presently represent other-than-temporary losses due to credit deterioration. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis. To determine if an other-than-temporary impairment exists on a debt security, the Bank first determines if (a) it intends to sell the security or (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of the conditions is met, the Bank will recognize an other-than-temporary impairment in earnings equal to the difference between the security’s fair value and its adjusted cost basis. If neither of the conditions is met, the Bank determines (a) the amount of the impairment related to credit loss and (b) the amount of the impairment due to all other factors. The difference between the present values of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis is the credit loss. The credit loss is the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment that is recognized in earnings and is a reduction to the cost basis of the security. The amount of total impairment related to all other factors is included in other comprehensive income.
The Bank utilizes a discounted cash flow model to determine fair value, which is also used in the calculation of other-than-temporary impairments on non-agency CMOs. This model is also used to determine the portion of the other-than-temporary impairment that is due to credit losses, and the portion that is due to all other factors. On securities with other-than-temporary impairment, the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis of the debt security is the credit loss.
The significant inputs used for calculating the credit loss portion of the OTTI include yield prepayment assumptions, loss severities, original FICO scores, historical rates of delinquency, percentage of loans with limited underwriting, historical rates of default, original loan-to-value ratio, aggregate property location by metropolitan statistical area, estimated loan to value ratio at the valuation date, original credit support, current credit support, and weighted-averaged maturity. Default rates were based on current, 30 to 59 days delinquent, 60 to 89 days delinquent, 90+ days delinquent, and foreclosure balances of the loans as of December 1, 2009. These balances were entered into a loss migration model to calculate projected default rates, which are benchmarked against results that have recently been experienced by other major servicers on non-agency CMOs with similar attributes. The projected default rates used in the model ranged from 0.03% to 12.54%. In establishing the fair value of the securities, a discount rate of 4.5% to 15% was utilized. There are no payments in kind allowed on these non-agency CMOs.
Based on the Bank’s impairment testing as of December 31, 2009, fourteen non-agency CMOs with a fair value of $32.9 million and an adjusted cost of $39.3 million were other-than-temporarily impaired. Based on the Bank’s impairment testing as of March 31, 2009, nine non-agency CMOs with a fair value of $26.1 million and an adjusted

cost of $32.5 million were other-than-temporarily impaired. The portion of the other-than-temporary impairment due to credit of $346,000 and $745,000 was included in earnings for the three- and nine-month periods ending December 31, 2009, respectively.
On a cumulative basis, other-than-temporary impairments due to credit were $1.5 million at December 31, 2009. Total unrealized losses at December 31, 2009 on these securities were $6.4 million. The difference between the total unrealized losses of $7.9 million and the credit loss of $1.5 million, or $6.4 million, was charged against other comprehensive income.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the fourteen other-than-temporarily impaired non-agency CMOs by year of vintage, credit rating, and collateral loan type. This table also includes a breakout of OTTI between impairment due to credit loss and impairment due to other factors.

As of December 31, 2009, the Corporation had loans totaling $31.5 million that have an interest reserve. For these loans, no payments are typically received from the borrower since accumulated interest is added to the principal of the loan through the interest reserve. If appraisal values relating to these real estate secured loans, which include various assumptions, prove to be overstated and/or decline over the contractual term of the loan, the Corporation may have inadequate security for the repayment of the loan. As of December 31, 2009, $2.3 million of our impaired loans have an interest reserve and have been placed on non-accrual status.

At December 31, 2009, the Corporation has identified $433.4 million of loans as impaired. A loan is identified as impaired when, according to ASC 310-10-35, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include loans considered trouble debt restructurings (TDRs), all loans 90 days or more delinquent and loans less than 90 days delinquent and for which management has determined a loss is probable. A summary of the details regarding impaired loans follows:

Total impaired loans have increased $205.6 million since March 31, 2009. This increase is the result of certain steps taken by the Corporation in an effort to eliminate or limit any further deterioration. See Note 3 — Significant Risks and Uncertainties for further discussion.
The Corporation is currently committed to lend approximately $8.6 million in additional funds on these impaired loans in accordance with the original terms of these loans; however, the Corporation is not legally obligated to, and will not, disburse additional funds on any loans while in non-accrual status. Of the $8.6 million in committed funds all of it is applicable to nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2009.
The Corporation has experienced declines in the current valuations for real estate collateral supporting portions of its loan portfolio, primarily land and development loans, throughout calendar year 2008 and 2009, as reflected in recently received appraisals. Currently, $167.9 million or approximately 67.1% of impaired loans secured by real estate have recent appraisals (i.e. within one year). The Corporation applies discounts to aged appraisals.

The Corporation records mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) when loans are sold to third-parties with servicing of those loans retained. In addition, MSRs are recorded when acquiring or assuming an obligation to service a financial (loan) asset that does not relate to a financial asset that is owned. The servicing asset is initially measured at fair value. The Corporation has chosen to use the amortization method to measure each class of separately recognized servicing assets. Under the amortization method, the Corporation amortizes servicing assets in proportion to and over the period of net servicing income. Income generated as the result of new servicing assets is reported as net gain on sale of loans and the amortization of servicing assets is reported as a reduction to loan servicing income in the Corporation’s consolidated statements of income. Ancillary income is recorded in other non-interest income. The Corporation has defined two classes of MSRs — residential (one to four family) and large multi-family/commercial real estate serviced for private investors.
The first class, residential MSRs, are servicing rights on one to four family mortgage loans sold to public agencies and servicing assets related to loans sold through the FHLB MPF program. The Corporation obtained a servicing asset when we delivered loans “as an agent” to the FHLB of Chicago under its MPF program. Initial fair value of these residential mortgage servicing rights is calculated using a discounted cash flow model based on market value assumptions at the time of origination. In addition, this class includes servicing rights purchased from other banks for residential loans at an agreed upon purchase price which becomes the initial fair value. The Corporation assesses individual strata within this class for impairment using a discounted cash flow model based on current market value assumptions at each reporting period. A strata is a group of servicing rights with similar terms and rates.
The other class of mortgage servicing rights is for large multi-family/commercial real estate loans partially sold to private investors. The initial fair value is calculated using a discounted cash flow model based on market value assumptions at the time of origination. The Corporation assesses individual strata within this class for impairment using a discounted cash flow model based on current market value assumptions at each reporting period.

23


Table of Contents

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 10 to 19 percent as well as total portfolio lifetime weighted average prepayment speeds of 11 to 14 percent annual CPR. Many of these assumptions are subjective and require a high level of management judgment. MSR valuation assumptions are reviewed and approved by management on a quarterly basis.
Prepayment speeds may be affected by economic factors such as home price appreciation, market interest rates, the availability of other credit products to our borrowers and customer payment patterns. Prepayment speeds include the impact of all borrower prepayments, including full payoffs, additional principal payments and the impact of loans paid off due to foreclosure liquidations. As market interest rates decline, prepayment speeds will generally increase as customers refinance existing mortgages under more favorable interest rate terms. As prepayment speeds increase, anticipated cash flows will generally decline resulting in a potential reduction, or impairment, to the fair value of the capitalized MSRs. Alternatively, an increase in market interest rates may cause a decrease in prepayment speeds and therefore an increase in fair value of MSRs. Annually, external data is obtained to test the values and assumptions that are used in the initial valuations for the discounted cash flow model.

Note 9 — Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
The Corporation views its investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock as a long-term investment. Accordingly, when evaluating for impairment, the value is determined based on the ultimate recovery of the par value rather than recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recovery is influenced by criteria such as: 1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLBs as compared to the capital stock amount and length of time a decline has persisted; 2) impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the FHLB and 3) the liquidity position of the FHLB.
The FHLB of Chicago filed an SEC Form 10-Q as of September 30, 2009 announcing its financial results for the third quarter of 2009. The FHLB of Chicago reported net loss of $150 million for third quarter of 2009, compared to net income of $33 million in the same period of the previous year. This $183 million decrease in net income was due to increases in other-than-temporary impairment charges of $160 million and a decrease in derivatives and hedging activities income of $132 million. These items were partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $91 million. The FHLB of Chicago is under a cease and desist order that restricts capital stock repurchases and redemptions. The FHLB of Chicago reported regulatory capital at September 30, 2009 of 5.16%, which was above its regulatory requirement of 4.76%. The FHLB of Chicago did not pay any dividends in 2008 and 2009. The Corporation has concluded that its investment in the FHLB Chicago is not impaired as of December 31, 2009. However, this estimate could change in the near term by the following: 1) significant OTTI losses are incurred on the MBS causing a significant decline in their regulatory capital status; 2) the economic losses resulting from credit deterioration on the MBS increases significantly and 3) capital preservation strategies being utilized by the FHLB become ineffective.

Note 11 — Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 have been determined by dividing net income for the respective periods by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive securities. The effects of dilutive securities are computed using the treasury stock method.

Note 12 — 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 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.

Commitments to extend credit are in the form of a loan in the near future. 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 and may be drawn upon at the borrowers’ discretion. 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”) under the Mortgage Partnership Finance Program, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Corporation evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-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.
The Corporation intends to fund commitments through current liquidity.
The real estate investment segment borrowing guarantees unfunded represented the Corporation’s commitment through its IDI subsidiary to guarantee the borrowings of the related real estate investment partnerships, which are included in the consolidated financial statements. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, IDI sold its interest in the majority of the real estate segment. As part of the transaction, IDI was released from its guarantees. For additional information, see “Guarantees” in Item 2- Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Except for the above-noted commitments to originate and/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 consolidated financial position of the Corporation.
Note 13 — 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

29


Table of Contents

many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Certain financial instruments with a fair value that is not practicable to estimate and all non-financial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent the underlying value of the Corporation.
The Corporation, in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments, used the following methods and assumptions:
Cash and cash equivalents and accrued interest: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated 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. If quoted market prices of comparable instruments are not available, fair values are derived from other valuation methodologies, primarily discounted cash flow models.
Loans receivable: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for loans held for sale are based on outstanding sale commitments or quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair value of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans held for investment, commercial real estate loans, rental property mortgage loans and consumer and other loans and leases are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. For construction loans, fair values are based on carrying values due to the short-term nature of the loans.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock: The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates its fair value.
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 interest rates being offered on certificates of deposit to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of the outstanding certificates of deposit.
Other Borrowed Funds: The fair values 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 December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments consist of the following (in thousands):

ASC 820-10 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820-10) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 applies only to fair value measurements already required or permitted by other accounting standards and does not impose requirements for additional fair value measures. ASC 820-10 was issued to increase consistency and comparability in reporting fair values. In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC 820-10-55, which delayed the effective date of ASC 820-10 for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The delay was intended to allow additional time to consider the effect of various implementation issues that have arisen, or that may arise, from the application of ASC 820-10.
As defined in ASC 820-10, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining the fair value, the Corporation uses various valuation methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Corporation utilizes assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. The Corporation uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Corporation is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
    Level 1: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
 
    Level 2: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
 
    Level 3: Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets.

The Corporation adopted the provisions of ASC 820-10 with respect to certain nonfinancial assets, such as other real estate owned effective April 1, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, but resulted in additional disclosures related to the fair value of nonfinancial assets.
The Corporation has identified available-for-sale securities, loans held for sale, foreclosed properties and repossessed assets, mortgage servicing rights and impaired loans with allocated reserves under ASC 820-10 as those items requiring disclosure under ASC 820-10.

The purchases of securities classified as Level 3 during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 included collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and U.S. agency real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs).
A pricing service was used to value our investment securities and mortgage-related securities as of December 31, 2009. Mortgage-related securities were considered a level 3 due to the fact that the inputs for determining fair value are unobservable and these securities need to be placed out for bid in order to arrive at the fair value. The Corporation utilized fair value estimates obtained from an independent pricing service as of December 31, 2009 for all corporate mortgage-related securities that were rated below triple-A by at least one major rating service as of the measurement date. These estimates were determined using a discounted cash flow model in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC 820-10-65. The significant inputs to the discounted cash flow model are prepayment

speeds of 5.79% to 24.68%, default rates of 0.03% to 12.54%, loss severities of 23.28% to 55.17% and discount rates of 4.50% to 15.00%.
Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The following table presents such assets carried on the consolidated balance sheet by caption and by level within the ASC 820-10 hierarchy as of December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

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

Note 14 — Income Taxes
The Corporation accounts for income taxes on the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, computed using enacted tax rates. We have maintained significant net deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences, the largest of which relates to our allowance for loan losses. For income tax return purposes, only net charge-offs on uncollectible loan balances are deductible, not the provision for loan losses. Under generally accepted accounting principles, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the realizability of the deferred tax assets is highly subjective and dependent upon judgment concerning management’s evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, the forecasts of future income, applicable tax planning strategies, and assessments of the current and future economic and business conditions. We consider both positive and negative evidence regarding the ultimate realizability of our deferred tax assets. Positive evidence includes the existence of taxes paid in available carryback years as well as the probability that taxable income will be generated in future periods while negative evidence includes significant losses in the current year or cumulative losses in the current and prior two years as well as general business and economic trends. At December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, we determined that a valuation allowance relating to our deferred tax asset was necessary. This determination was based largely on the negative evidence represented by the losses in the current and prior fiscal years caused by the significant loan loss provisions associated with our loan portfolio. In addition, general uncertainty surrounding future economic and business conditions have increased the potential volatility and uncertainty of our projected earnings. Therefore, a valuation allowance of $106.2 million at December 31, 2009 and $50.0 million at March 31, 2009 was recorded to offset net deferred tax assets that exceed the Corporation’s carryback potential.

Income tax benefit decreased $1.9 million or 100.0% and $14.0 million or 100.0%, during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2008. This decrease was due to the tax benefit from the net operating loss being offset by the charge to taxes related to the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate was 0% for the three-and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2009 due to a $7.1 million and $56.3 million valuation allowance charge in the respective periods. This rate compared to 1.1% and 7.0% for the same respective periods last year, which approximated a statutory tax rate.
The Corporation recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Corporation has not recognized any accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
Note 15 — Credit Agreement
The Corporation owes $116 million to various Lenders under a Credit Agreement. The Corporation is currently in default of the Credit Agreement as a result of failure to make a principal payment on March 2, 2009. On December 22, 2009, we entered into Amendment No. 5 (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2008, the “Credit Agreement,” among the Corporation, the lenders from time to time a party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent for such lenders, or the “Agent.” Under the Amendment, the Agent and the Lenders agree to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies against the Corporation until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than a failure to make principal payments on the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement or other Existing Defaults); or (ii) May 31, 2010. Notwithstanding the agreement to forbear, the Agent may at any time, in its sole discretion, take any action reasonably necessary to preserve or protect its interest in the stock of the Bank, Investment Directions, Inc. or any other collateral securing any of the obligations against the actions of the Corporation or any third party without notice to or the consent of any party. The Corporation incurred an amendment fee of $1.2 million that is being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt.
The Amendment also provides that the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement shall bear interest equal to a “Base Rate” of 8% per annum up to and including December 31, 2009 and at all times thereafter at a floating rate per annum equal to the prime rate announced by the Agent from time to time, plus a “Deferred Interest Rate” of 4.0% per annum up to and including December 31, 2009 and at all times thereafter, the difference at any time between 12.0% per annum and the Base Rate. Interest accruing at the Base Rate is due on the last day of each month and on May 31, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”); interest accruing at the Deferred Interest Rate is due on the earlier of (i) the date the Loans are paid in full or (ii) the Maturity Date.
Within two business days after the Corporation has knowledge of an event, the CFO shall submit a statement of the event together with a statement of the actions which the Corporation proposes to take to the Agent. An event may include:
    Any event which, either of itself or with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a Default under the Credit Agreement;
 
    A default or an event of default under any other material agreement to which the Corporation or Bank is a party, including that certain Stock Purchase Agreement and Loan Agreement between the Corporation and Badger Anchor Holdings, LLC; or
 
    Any pending or threatened litigation or certain administrative proceedings.
Within 15 days after the end of each month, the Corporation’s president or vice president shall submit a certificate indicating whether the Corporation is in compliance with the following financial covenants:
    The Bank shall maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of not less than (i) 4.00% at all times during the period ending February 28, 2010 and (ii) 4.25% at all times thereafter.
 
    The Bank shall maintain a Total Risk Based Capital ratio of not less than (i) 7.25% at all times during the period ending February 28, 2010 and (ii) 7.50% at all times thereafter.
 
    The ratio of Non-Performing Loans to Gross Loans shall not exceed (i) 13.75% at all times during the period ending January 31, 2010 and (ii) 14.50% at all times thereafter.

Table of Contents

The total outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2009 was $116.3 million. These borrowings are shown in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements as other borrowed funds. The Amendment provides that the Corporation must pay in full the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement on the earlier of the Corporation’s receipt of net proceeds of a financing transaction from the sale of equity securities in an amount not less than $116.3 million or May 31, 2010.
The Credit Agreement and the Amendment also contain customary representations, warranties, conditions and events of default for agreements of such type. At December 31, 2009, the Corporation was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Agent and the Lenders have certain rights, including the right to accelerate the maturity of the borrowings if all covenants are not complied with. Currently, no such action has been taken by the Agent or the Lenders. However, the default creates significant uncertainty related to the Corporation’s operations.
The Corporation subsequently entered into Amendment No. 6 of the Credit Agreement on April 29, 2010. Under the Amendment, the Agent and the Lenders agree to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies against the Corporation until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than a failure to make principal payments on the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement or other Existing Defaults); or (ii) May 31, 2011.
Note 16 — Capital Purchase Program
Pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program (CPP), the U.S. Treasury, on behalf of the U.S. government, purchased preferred stock, along with warrants to purchase common stock, from certain financial institutions, including bank holding companies, savings and loan holding companies and banks or savings associations not controlled by a holding company. The investment will have a dividend rate of 5% per year, until the fifth anniversary of Treasury’s investment and a dividend of 9% thereafter. During the time Treasury holds securities issued pursuant to this program, participating financial institutions will be required to comply with certain provisions regarding executive compensation and corporate governance. Participation in this program also imposes certain restrictions upon an institution’s dividends to common shareholders and stock repurchase activities. We elected to participate in the CPP and received $110 million pursuant to the program. We have deferred three dividend payments on the Series B Preferred Stock held by Treasury.
Note 17 — Regulatory Matters
On June 26, 2009, the Corporation and the Bank each consented to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist (the “Corporation Order” and the “Bank Order,” respectively, and together, the “Orders”) by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”).
The Corporation Order requires that the Corporation notify, and in certain cases receive the permission of, the OTS prior to: (i) declaring, making or paying any dividends or other capital distributions on its capital stock, including the repurchase or redemption of its capital stock; (ii) incurring, issuing, renewing or rolling over any debt, increasing any current lines of credit or guaranteeing the debt of any entity; (iii) making certain changes to its directors or senior executive officers; (iv) entering into, renewing, extending or revising any contractual arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any of its directors or senior executive officers; and (v) making any golden parachute payments or prohibited indemnification payments. The Corporation’s board was also required to develop and submit to the OTS a three-year cash flow plan by July 31, 2009, which must be reviewed at least quarterly by the Corporation’s management and board for material deviations between the cash flow plan’s projections and actual results (the “Variance Analysis Report”). Lastly, within thirty days following the end of each quarter, the Corporation is required to provide the OTS its Variance Analysis Report for that quarter. The Corporation has complied with each of these requirements as of December 31, 2009.
The Bank Order requires that the Bank notify, or in certain cases receive the permission of, the OTS prior to (i) increasing its total assets in any quarter in excess of an amount equal to net interest credited on deposit liabilities during the quarter; (ii) accepting, rolling over or renewing any brokered deposits; (iii) making certain changes to its directors or senior executive officers; (iv) entering into, renewing, extending or revising any contractual arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any of its directors or senior executive officers; (v) making any golden parachute or prohibited indemnification payments; (vi) paying dividends or making other capital

distributions on its capital stock; (vii) entering into certain transactions with affiliates; and (viii) entering into third-party contracts outside the normal course of business.
The Orders also required that, no later than September 30, 2009, the Bank meet and maintain both a core capital ratio equal to or greater than 7 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 11 percent. Further, no later than December 31, 2009, the Bank was required to meet and maintain both a core capital ratio equal to or greater than 8 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 12 percent. The Bank was required to submit, and has submitted, to the OTS, a written capital contingency plan, a problem asset plan, a revised business plan, and an implementation plan resulting from a review of commercial lending practices. The Orders also require the Bank to review its current liquidity management policy and the adequacy of its allowance for loan and lease losses. The Bank has completed these reviews.
At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009, the Bank had a core capital ratio of 4.12 percent and 4.12 percent, respectively, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 7.36 percent and 7.59 percent, respectively, each below the required capital ratios set forth above. The Corporation is working with its advisors to explore possible alternatives to raise additional equity capital. On December 1, 2009, the Corporation entered into agreements with Badger Anchor Holdings, LLC, pursuant to which Badger will make up to a $400 million investment in the Corporation. On March 31, 2010, the Corporation and Badger Anchor Holdings, LLC mutually terminated the agreement. Due to the fact that this transaction was not completed, the OTS may take additional significant regulatory action against the Bank and Corporation which could, among other things, materially adversely affect the Corporation’s shareholders. All customer deposits remain fully insured to the highest limits set by the FDIC. The OTS may grant extensions to the timelines established by the Orders.
The description of each of the Orders and the corresponding Stipulation and Consent to Issuance of Order to Cease and Desist were previously filed as Exhibits to the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.
Note 18 — Recent Developments
On November 13, 2009, the Bank entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of 11 Bank branches in northwestern Wisconsin to Royal Credit Union of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. This transaction, which is subject to regulatory and other customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of calendar 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, Royal Credit Union will assume approximately $177 million in deposits and a proportionate amount in loans, real estate and other assets.
On December 1, 2009, the Corporation entered into agreements with Badger Anchor Holdings, LLC (“Badger Holdings”), pursuant to which Badger Holdings will make up to a $400 million investment in the Corporation including a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $110 million (the “Transaction”).
Pursuant to the Transaction, Badger Holdings will purchase up to 483,333,333 shares of common stock at $0.60 per share and will provide the Corporation with a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $110 million, which will be convertible into shares of the Corporation’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of $0.60 per share or the per share tangible book value measured as of the last day of the most recently completed month preceding the month in which the conversion occurred.
In connection with the proposed Transaction, the Corporation will also offer up to 166 million shares of common stock to its shareholders of record on November 23, 2009, at a price of $0.60 per share. In connection with the additional offering of up to 166 million shares, a registration statement will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Consummation of the proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including: (i) resolution satisfactory to Badger Holdings of the Corporation’s outstanding loan from U.S. Bank and others in the aggregate principal amount of $116 million; (ii) conversion into common stock of the shares of preferred stock and warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury pursuant to the TARP Capital Purchase Program at an acceptable conversion rate; (iii) shareholder approval of the Transaction; (iv) receipt of all required regulatory approvals; (v) the absence of certain material adverse developments with respect to the Corporation and its business and (vi) other terms and conditions typical of similar transactions.

The underlying agreements to the transaction also provide that Badger Holdings will receive fees totaling five percent of the sum of the amount of the investment pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the aggregate principal amount of the loan pursuant to the Loan Agreement, plus five percent of the amount by which the outstanding indebtedness under the Corporation’s existing outstanding loan from U.S. Bank is reduced and/or converted to equity.
In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Corporation will enter into a registration rights agreement with Badger Holdings at the closing of the Transaction.
A proxy statement relating to certain matters of the proposed Transaction will be filed with the SEC and sent to shareholders in connection with the required shareholder approval.
Upon the completion of the proposed Transaction, current shareholders will experience significant dilution. Assuming the maximum number of shares are purchased by Badger Holdings, current shareholders of the Corporation would own less than 5 percent of the Corporation’s outstanding common shares and Badger Holdings would own a majority. Badger Holdings will be registered as a savings and loan holding company. On March 31, 2010, the Corporation and Badger Anchor Holdings, LLC mutually terminated the agreement because several conditions to closing had not been met.
Note 19 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
We have restated our financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009. In conjunction with its review of the results of operations in connection with the annual audit, management discovered a systemic error in the recognition of federal deposit insurance premium expense. While the quarterly federal deposit insurance premiums are currently billed in arrears, the premium notices were being treated as billed in advance, as had been the case in prior years. This error was compounded by the significant increase in the amount of the federal deposit insurance premiums in the current fiscal year. As a result of its analysis of the accounting error, management determined that federal deposit insurance premium expense was understated by $1.2 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and total equity was cumulatively overstated by $8.9 million at that date in the original Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2009.
In addition to the impact on the quarter ended June 30, 2009, there was $2.4 million of FDIC insurance premium that should have been expensed in prior years. In analyzing the accounting error, the impact on years prior to March 31, 2009 was evaluated as being immaterial to each of the specific years and immaterial in total. With that conclusion, management elected to restate retained earnings as of March 31, 2009 to correct the accounting error for the periods prior to March 31, 2009.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Set forth below is management’s discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Anchor Bancorp Wisconsin Inc. (the “Corporation”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AnchorBank fsb (the “Bank”) and Investment Directions Inc. (“IDI”), for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, which includes information on the Corporation’s asset/liability management strategies, sources of liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and supplemental data contained elsewhere in this report.
Executive Overview
Highlights for the third quarter ended December 31, 2009 include:
    On June 14, 2010, the Corporation restated results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2010 due to a systematic error in the recognition of federal insurance premium expense.
    Diluted loss per common share decreased to $(0.63) for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to $(7.96) per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, primarily due to a $82.5 million decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $80.6 million decrease in non-interest expense;
    The interest rate spread decreased to 2.13% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to 2.88% for the quarter ended December 31, 2008;
    Loans receivable decreased $639.5 million, or 15.8%, since March 31, 2009;
    Deposits and accrued interest decreased $325.6 million, or 8.3%, since March 31, 2009;
    Book value per common share was $(2.66) at December 31, 2009 compared to $4.70 at March 31, 2009 and $6.80 at December 31, 2008;
    Total non-performing assets (consisting of loans past due more than ninety days, loans past due less than ninety days but placed on non-accrual status due to anticipated probable loss, non-accrual troubled debt restructurings and other assets owned by the Bank) increased $64.0 million, or 22.8%, to $344.4 million at December 31, 2009 from $280.4 million at March 31, 2009, and total non-performing loans (consisting of loans past due more than 90 days, loans less than 90 days delinquent but placed on non-accrual status due to anticipated probable loss and non-accrual troubled debt restructurings) increased $76.1 million, or 33.4% to $303.9 million at December 31, 2009 from $227.8 million at March 31, 2009; and
    Provision for loan losses decreased $82.5 million, or 88.8%, to $10.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 from $93.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and $50.4 million, or 82.8%, from $60.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

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 amortized cost that are deemed to be other than temporary due to credit loss are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses on debt securities, management considers many factors which include: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. To determine if an other-than-temporary impairment exists on a debt security, the Corporation first determines if (a) it intends to sell the security or (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of the conditions is met, the Corporation will recognize an other-than-temporary impairment in earnings equal to the difference between the fair value of the security and its adjusted cost. If neither of the conditions is met, the Corporation determines (a) the amount of the impairment related to credit loss and (b) the amount of the impairment due to all other factors. The difference between the present values of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis is the credit loss. The credit loss is the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment that is recognized in earnings and is a reduction to the cost basis of the security. The amount of total impairment related to all other factors is included in other comprehensive income (loss).
    The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable and inherent losses incurred in the loan portfolio. The allowance is comprised of both a specific and general component. Specific allowances are provided on impaired loans pursuant to accounting standards. The general allowance is based on historical loss experience, adjusted for qualitative and environmental factors pursuant to ASC 450-2 “Loss Contingencies” and other related regulatory guidance. At least quarterly, we review the assumptions and methodology related to the general allowance in an effort to update and refine the estimate.
      In determining the general allowance we have segregated the loan portfolio by collateral type. By doing so we are better able to identify trends in borrower behavior and loss severity. For each collateral type, we compute a historical loss factor. In determining the appropriate period of activity to use in computing the historical loss factor we look at trends in quarterly net charge-off ratios. It is our intention to utilize a period of activity that we believe to be most reflective of current experience. Changes in the historical period are made when there is a distinct change in the trend of net charge-off experience.
      In addition to the historical loss factor, we consider the impact of the following qualitative factors: changes in lending policies, procedures and practices, economic and industry trends and conditions, experience, ability and depth of lending management, level of and trends in past dues and delinquent loans, changes in the quality of the loan review system, changes in the value of the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans, changes in credit concentrations, and other external factors such as legal and regulatory. In determining the impact, if any, of an individual qualitative factor, we compare the current underlying facts and circumstances surrounding a particular factor with those in the historical periods, adjusting the historical loss factor in a directionally consistent manner with changes in the qualitative factor. We will continue to analyze the qualitative factors on a quarterly basis, adjusting the historical loss factor both up and down, to a factor we believe is appropriate for the probable and inherent risk of loss in our portfolio.
      Specific allowances are determined as a result of our loan review process. When a loan is identified as impaired it is evaluated for loss using either the fair value of collateral less selling costs or a discounted cash flow analysis as a determinant of fair value. If fair value exceeds the Bank’s carrying value of the loan no loss is anticipated and no specific reserve is established. However, if the Bank’s carrying value of the loan is greater than fair value a specific reserve is established. In either situation, loans identified as impaired are excluded from the calculation of the general reserve.

      We consider the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2009 to be at an acceptable level. Although we believe that we have established and maintained the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level, changes may be necessary if future economic and other conditions differ substantially from the current environment. Although we use the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.
    Mortgage servicing rights are established on loans that are originated and subsequently sold with servicing retained. A portion of the loan’s book basis is allocated to mortgage servicing rights at the time of sale. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is the present value of estimated future net cash flows from the servicing relationship using current market participant assumptions for prepayments or defaults, servicing costs and other factors. As the loans are repaid and net servicing revenue is earned, mortgage servicing rights are amortized into expense. Net servicing revenues are expected to exceed this amortization expense. However, if actual prepayment experience or defaults exceed what was originally anticipated, net servicing revenues may be less than expected and mortgage servicing rights may be impaired. Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.
    The Corporation provides for federal income taxes with a deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset computed by applying the current statutory tax rates to net taxable or deductible differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future periods. The Corporation regularly reviews the carrying amount of its deferred tax assets to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary. If based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Corporation’s deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods, a deferred tax valuation allowance would be established. Consideration is given to various positive and negative factors that could affect the realization of the deferred tax assets.
      In evaluating this available evidence, management considers, among other things, historical financial performance, expectation of future earnings, the ability to carry back losses to recoup taxes previously paid, length of statutory carry forward periods, experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, tax planning strategies and timing of reversals of temporary differences. Significant judgment is required in assessing future earning trends and the timing of reversals of temporary differences. The Corporation’s evaluation is based on current tax laws as well as management’s expectations of future performance.
      As a result of its evaluation, the Corporation has recorded a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General. Net income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 increased $156.9 million or 93.9% to a net loss of $10.2 million from a net loss of $167.1 million and increased $34.5 million or 18.7% to a net loss of $150.4 million from a net loss of $184.9 million as compared to the same respective periods in the prior year. The increase in net income for the three-month period compared to the same period last year was largely due to a decrease in provision for loan losses of $82.5 million, a decrease in non-interest expense of $80.6 million and an increase in non-interest income of $6.1 million, which were partially offset by a decrease in net interest income of $10.4 million and a decrease in income tax benefit of $1.9 million. The increase in net income for the nine-month period compared to the same period last year was largely due to a decrease in provision for loan losses of $7.6 million, a decrease in non-interest expense of $54.3 million and an increase in non-interest income of $16.5 million, which were partially offset by a decrease in income tax benefit of $14.0 million and a decrease in net interest income of $30.0 million.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $10.4 million or 31.7% and $30.0 million or 31.1% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same respective periods in the prior year. Interest income decreased $11.1 million or 17.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Interest expense decreased $745,000 or 2.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Interest income decreased $30.1 million or 15.1% for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Interest expense decreased $229,000 or 0.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The net interest margin decreased to 2.05% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 from 2.88% for the three-month period in the prior year and decreased to 1.87% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009 from 2.79% for the same period in the prior year. The change in the net interest margin reflects the decrease in yield on interest-earning assets from 5.69% to 4.92% during the three months and from 5.78% to 4.79% during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets is primarily the result of the reversal of interest income on non-accrual loans as well as the decline in interest rates. The interest rate spread decreased to 2.13% from 2.88% for the three-month period and decreased to 1.93% from 2.77% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the same respective periods in the prior year.
Interest income on loans decreased $11.5 million or 19.1% and $33.3 million or 18.0%, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same respective periods in the prior year. These decreases were primarily attributable to a decrease of 34 basis points in the average yield on loans to 5.56% from 5.90% for the three-month period and a decrease of 52 basis points to 5.47% from 5.99% for the nine-month period. The decrease in the yield on loans was due to the level of loans on non-accrual status as well as a modest decline in rates on loans. In addition, the average balances of loans decreased $580.4 million in the three months and decreased $420.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Interest income on mortgage-related securities increased $874,000 or 23.4% and increased $4.3 million or 38.5% for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same respective periods in the prior year, primarily due to an increase of $182.1 million in the three-month average balance and an increase of $172.6 million in the nine-month average balance of mortgage-related securities. The increase in the average balance of mortgage-related securities is due to the purchase of securities (all of which were rated AAA). This increase was offset by a decrease of 142 basis points in the average yield on mortgage-related securities to 4.06% from 5.48% for the three-month period and a decrease of 82 basis points in the average yield on mortgage-related securities to 4.60% from 5.42% for the nine-month period. This decrease reflects management’s change in mix of mortgage-related securities to a lower risk weighted category. Interest income on investment securities (including Federal Home Loan Bank stock) decreased $634,000 or 77.5% and $1.4 million or 60.2%, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the same respective periods in the prior year. The decreases for the three- and nine-month periods were due to a decrease in the average balances as well as a decrease in the average yield. Interest income on interest-bearing deposits increased $138,000 and $369,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the same respective periods in 2008, primarily due to an increase in the average balances offset by decreases in the average yields for the three- and nine-month periods.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $324,000 or 1.5% and decreased $3.9 million or 5.4%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same respective periods in 2008. These decreases were primarily attributable to a decrease of 27 basis points in the weighted average cost of deposits to 2.29% from 2.56% and a decrease of 46 basis points in the weighted average cost of deposits to 2.37% from 2.83% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same respective periods in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits and accrued interest of $328.7 million and $445.8 million for the respective three- and nine-month periods. The decrease in the cost of deposits was due to the fact that certificates are repricing at lower rates and interest rates on demand deposits have declined. Interest expense on other borrowed funds decreased $421,000 or 4.1% and increased $3.7 million or 11.9%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same respective periods in the prior year. The weighted average cost of other borrowed funds increased 167 basis points to 5.24% from 3.57% for the three-month period and increased 135 basis points to 4.89% from 3.54% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same respective periods last year due to the fact that borrowings were prepaid and a prepayment fee was incurred. For the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2009, the average balance of other borrowed funds decreased $403.0 million and $221.4 million, respectively, as compared to the same respective periods in 2008.
Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses decreased $82.5 million or 88.8% for the three-month period and decreased $7.6 million or 5.1% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same respective periods last year. Through significant efforts in the credit area to gain a thorough understanding of the risk within the portfolio, management evaluates a variety of qualitative and quantitative factors when determining the adequacy of the allowance for losses. The provisions were based on management’s ongoing evaluation of asset quality and pursuant to a policy to maintain an allowance for losses at a level which management believes is adequate to absorb probable losses on loans as of the balance sheet date.
Average Interest-Earning Assets, Average Interest-Bearing Liabilities and Interest Rate Spread. The table on the following page shows the Corporation’s average balances, interest, average rates, net interest margin and interest rate spread for the periods indicated. The average balances are derived from average daily balances.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $6.1 million or 64.2% to $15.6 million and increased $16.4 million or 55.7% to $46.0 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, respectively, as compared to $9.5 million and $29.6 million for the same respective periods in 2008. The increase for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 was primarily due to the increase in net gain on investments and mortgage-related securities of $7.2 million as a result of the gain on sale of agency securities. In addition, net gain on sale of loans increased $3.0 million due to an increase in refinancing activity, investment and insurance commissions increased $99,000 and other non-interest income increased $97,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in real estate investment partnership revenue of $1.8 million as well as a decrease in other revenue from real estate partnership operations of $1.7 million, both due to the fact that IDI sold its interest in the majority of the real estate segment in the previous quarter. In addition, net impairment losses recognized in earnings increased $346,000, loan servicing income decreased $206,000 and credit enhancement income decreased $188,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same respective period in the prior year. The increase for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009 was primarily due to the increase in net gain on investments and mortgage-related securities of $12.7 million as a result of the gain on sale of agency securities. In addition, net gain on sale of loans increased $12.4 million due to an increase in refinancing activity. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in loan servicing income of $2.3 million due to increased amortization of mortgage servicing rights, a decrease in real estate investment partnership revenue of $1.8 million and a decrease in other revenue from real estate partnership operations of $1.8 million, both due to the fact that IDI sold its interest in the majority of the real estate segment in the previous quarter. In addition, other non-interest income decreased $961,000 mainly due to a decline in fee income from loans, net impairment losses recognized in earnings increased $745,000 due to the fact that a new accounting standard was adopted since the prior year, investment and insurance commissions decreased $553,000 due to a decline in securities commission income and credit enhancement income decreased $388,000 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same respective period in the prior year.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $80.6 million or 68.1% to $37.7 million and decreased $54.3 million or 31.0% to $120.9 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, respectively, as compared to $118.3 million and $175.2 million for the same respective periods in 2008. The decrease for the three-month period was primarily due to the write down of goodwill due to impairment of $72.2 million in the prior year. In addition, other expense from real estate partnership operations decreased $7.0 million and real estate investment partnership cost of sales decreased $1.2 million, both due to the fact that IDI sold its interest in the majority of the real estate segment in the previous quarter. Also, mortgage servicing rights impairment decreased $3.0 million due to an increase in interest rates on residential loans, net expense from REO operations decreased $2.2 million due to a decrease in the provision for REO losses, compensation expense decreased $1.4 million mainly due to a decline in benefits expense, furniture and equipment expense decreased $353,000 and marketing expense decreased $185,000. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in other non-interest expense of $3.0 million primarily due to increased legal expenses from foreclosure activity and increased consulting expenses for the review of the loan portfolio and concentrations as well as evaluating business and staffing practices, an increase in federal insurance premiums of $3.7 million mainly due to the fact that the Bank is in a higher risk category and an increase in occupancy expense of $99,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease for the nine-month period was primarily due to the write down of goodwill due to impairment of $72.2 million in the prior year. In addition, other expense from real estate partnership operations decreased $7.2 million and real estate investment partnership cost of sales decreased $1.2 million, both due to the fact that IDI sold its interest in the majority of the real estate segment in the previous quarter. Also, mortgage servicing rights impairment decreased $4.3 million due to an increase in interest rates on residential loans, compensation expense decreased $1.1 million mainly due to a decline in benefits expense, marketing expense decreased $498,000 and furniture and equipment expense decreased $404,000. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in other non-interest expense of $8.1 million due to increased legal expenses from foreclosure activity and increased consulting expenses for the review of the loan portfolio and concentrations as well as evaluating business and staffing practices, an increase in federal insurance premiums of $13.6 million mainly due to a special assessment in the first quarter and the fact that the Bank is in a higher risk category, an increase in net expense from REO operations of $6.9 million due to additional write downs, an increase in the impairment of foreclosure cost advances $3.7 million due to the fact that previously capitalized foreclosure cost advances were deemed unrecoverable and an increase in occupancy expense of $185,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Income Taxes. The Corporation recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2009, the Corporation has not recognized any accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The Corporation is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of state jurisdictions. The tax years 2005-2008 remain open to examination by the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions to which we are subject.
Income tax benefit decreased $1.9 million or 100.2% and decreased $14.0 million or 100.0% during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same respective periods in 2008. This decrease was due to the tax benefit from the net operating loss being offset by the charge to taxes related to the valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate was 0% for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2009 due to the $7.1 million and $56.3 million valuation allowance charge in each respective period. A full valuation allowance has been recorded on the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of the Corporation to create sufficient taxable income in the near future to fully utilize it. This rate compared to 1.1% and 7.0% for the same respective period last year.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, the Corporation’s assets decreased by $818.1 million from $5.27 billion at March 31, 2009 to $4.45 billion at December 31, 2009. The majority of this decrease was attributable to a decrease of $639.5 million in loans receivable, a decrease of $101.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as well as a decrease of $60.3 million in investment securities available for sale, which were partially offset by a $40.7 million increase in mortgage-related securities available for sale.
Total loans (including loans held for sale) decreased $639.5 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2009. Activity for the period consisted of (i) sales of one to four family loans to the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of $1.12 billion, (ii) principal repayments and other adjustments (the majority of which are undisbursed loan proceeds) of $681.5 million, (iii) the securitization of mortgage loans to agency mortgage-backed securities of $48.9 million, (iv) transfer to foreclosed properties and repossessed assets of $20.9 million and (v) originations, refinances and purchases of $1.23 billion.
Mortgage-related securities (both available for sale and held to maturity) increased $40.7 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as a result of purchases of $437.1 million and the securitization of mortgage loans to agency mortgage-backed securities of $48.9 million, which were partially offset by sales of $354.6 million, principal repayments of $84.4 million and fair value adjustments of $6.4 million in this period. Mortgage-related securities consisted of $60.8 million of mortgage-backed securities and $387.2 million of corporate collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and real estate mortgage investment conduits (“REMICs”) issued by government agencies at December 31, 2009.
The Corporation’s CMOs and REMICs have interest rate risk due to, among other things, actual prepayments being more or less than those predicted at the time of purchase. The majority of the Corporation’s CMO’s and REMICs are rated AA or above. The Corporation invests only in short-term tranches in order to limit the reinvestment risk associated with greater than anticipated prepayments, as well as changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates.
A collateralized debt obligation (“CDO’s”) is a type of asset-backed security and structured credit product which gains exposure to the credit of a portfolio of fixed-income assets and divides the credit risk among different tranches. The investment portfolio of the Corporation does not contain any CDO’s.
Investment securities decreased $60.3 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as a result of sales, maturities, amortization and fair value adjustments of $78.8 million of U.S. Government and agency securities, which were partially offset by purchases of $18.5 million of such securities.
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock remained constant during the nine months ended December 31, 2009. The Corporation views its investment in the FHLB stock as a long-term investment. Accordingly, when evaluating for impairment, the value is determined based on the ultimate recovery of the par value rather than recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recovery is influenced by criteria such as: 1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLBs as compared to the capital stock amount

50


Table of Contents

and length of time a decline has persisted; 2) impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the FHLB and 3) the liquidity position of the FHLB.
The FHLB of Chicago filed an SEC Form 10-Q as of September 30, 2009 announcing its financial results for the third quarter of 2009. The FHLB of Chicago reported net loss of $150 million for third quarter of 2009, compared to net income of $33 million in the same period of the previous year. This $183 million decrease in net income was due to increases in other-than-temporary impairment charges of $160 million and a decrease in derivatives and hedging activities income of $132 million. These items were partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $91 million. The FHLB of Chicago is under a cease and desist order that restricts capital stock repurchases and redemptions. The FHLB of Chicago reported regulatory capital at September 30, 2009 of 5.16%, which was above its regulatory requirement of 4.76%. The FHLB of Chicago did not pay any dividends in 2008 and 2009. The Corporation has concluded that its investment in the FHLB Chicago is not impaired as of December 31, 2009. However, this estimate could change in the near term by the following: 1) significant OTTI losses are incurred on the MBS causing a significant decline in their regulatory capital status; 2) the economic losses resulting from credit deterioration on the MBS increases significantly and 3) capital preservation strategies being utilized by the FHLB become ineffective.
Foreclosed properties and repossessed assets decreased $12.2 million to $40.4 million at December 31, 2009 from $52.6 million at March 31, 2009 due to (i) sales of $19.3 million and (ii) additional write downs of various properties of $13.7 million. These decreases were partially offset by (i) transfers in of $20.9 million.
Net deferred tax assets decreased $16.2 million to zero at December 31, 2009 from $16.2 million at March 31, 2009 due to the recognition of all available recoverable income taxes as a result of the net loss for the period. An allowance of $56.3 million was placed on the deferred tax asset during the nine months ended December 31, 2009. The valuation allowance is necessary as the recovery of the net deferred asset is not more likely than not. It is uncertain if the Corporation can generate taxable income in the near future.
Total liabilities decreased $658.6 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2009. This decrease was largely due to a $325.6 million decrease in deposits and accrued interest, a $318.9 million decrease in other borrowed funds and a $14.0 million decrease in other liabilities. Brokered deposits totaled $218.8 million or approximately 6.1% of total deposits at December 31, 2009 and $457.3 million at March 31, 2009, and generally mature within one to five years.
Stockholders’ equity decreased $159.1 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as a net result of (i) comprehensive loss of $155.4 million, (ii) accrual of dividends on preferred stock of $4.1 million and (iii) tax benefit from stock-related compensation of $194,000. These decreases were partially offset by (i) the issuance of shares for management and benefit plans of $566,000.

Non-performing loans (consisting of loans past due more than 90 days, loans less than 90 days delinquent but placed on non-accrual status due to anticipated probable loss and non-accrual troubled debt restructurings) increased $76.1 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2009. Non-performing assets increased $64.0 million to $344.4 million at December 31, 2009 from $280.4 million at March 31, 2009 and increased as a percentage of total assets to 7.73% from 5.32% at such dates, respectively. The increase in non-performing loans at December 31, 2009 was the result of an increase of $42.0 million in non-performing construction and land loans, $21.3 million in non-performing commercial real estate loans, $16.7 million in non-performing single-family residential loans, $5.2 million in non-performing commercial business loans and $2.8 million in non-performing consumer loans offset by a $11.9 million decrease in non-performing multi-family loans. On a linked-quarter basis, non-performing loans decreased $111.1 million, or 26.7% at December 31, 2009 from $415.1 million at September 30, 2009.

Loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring that are currently on non-accrual status will remain on non-accrual status for a period of at least six months. If after six months, or a period sufficient enough to demonstrate the willingness and ability of the borrower to perform under the modified terms, the borrower has made payments in accordance with the modified terms, the loan is returned to accrual status but retains its status as a troubled debt restructuring. The designation as a troubled debt restructuring is removed in years after the restructuring if both of the following conditions exist: (a) the restructuring agreement specifies an interest rate equal to or greater than the rate that the creditor was willing to accept at the time of restructuring for a new loan with comparable risk and (b) the loan is not impaired based on the terms specified by the restructuring agreement.
The decrease in loans considered troubled debt restructurings of $8.6 million to $52.9 million at December 31, 2009 from $61.5 million at March 31, 2009 is a result of continued efforts by the Corporation to work with their borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. At December 31, 2009 there have been several opportunities to transfer a loan from non-accrual troubled debt restructuring status to accrual troubled debt restructuring because they have been performing according to terms of the restructuring for six months or more. As time passes and borrowers continue to perform in accordance with the restructured loan terms, we expect a portion of this balance to be returned to accrual status.
Beginning late in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, management began significant efforts in the credit risk area to obtain a thorough understanding of the risk within the loan portfolio and to take action to eliminate or limit any further material adverse consequences. These efforts include the following:
1.   Realigned corporate structure to ensure that risk is adequately and appropriately identified, mitigated and where possible, eliminated:
    Appointed a Chief Credit Risk Officer responsible for overseeing all aspects of corporate risk.
 
    Created a Special Assets Group to properly assess potential collateral shortfall exposure and to develop workout plans.
2.   Created and implemented a new loan risk rating system using qualitative metrics to identify loans with potential risk so they could be properly classified and monitored.
 
3.   Implemented a new enhanced impairment analysis to evaluate all classified loans.
 
4.   Introduced a new Allowance for Loan and Lease Policy that improves the timeliness of specific reserves taken for the allowance for loan and lease calculation.
 
5.   Analyzed the population of recent appraisals received and developed a specific reserve amount to capture the probable deterioration in value.
 
6.   Established an independent underwriting group that evaluates the total borrowing relationship using a global cash flow methodology.
 
7.   Began proactive monitoring of matured and delinquent loans.
 
8.   Proactively reviewing the performing (non-impaired) portfolio for performance issues.
 
9.   Classified assets are reviewed on a monthly basis.
As a result of these continued efforts management has a clearer understanding of the non-performing loans and related probable and inherent losses within the loan portfolio. While no assurances can be given as to whether significant increases in the level of non-performing loans and the ALLL through additional provisions for loan losses will be required in the future, we believe the magnitude of the initial increase in non-performing loans and in the level of non-performing loans and the provisions that were taken in fiscal 2009 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 are a result of our efforts described above and are not indicative of a trend for the future.

Some properties were transferred to OREO at a value that was based upon a discounted cash flow of the property upon completion of the project. Factors that were considered include the cost to complete a project, absorption rates and projected sales of units. The appraisal received at the time the loan was made is no longer considered applicable and therefore the properties are analyzed on a periodic basis to determine the current net realizable value.
On a quarterly basis, the Corporation reviews its list prices of its OREO properties and makes appropriate adjustments based upon updated appraisals or market analysis by brokers. The valuation allowance on OREO is due to the slow real estate market.
At December 31, 2009, the Corporation had $433.4 million of impaired loans. At March 31, 2009, impaired loans were $227.8 million. Total impaired loans have increased $205.6 million since March 31, 2009 as a result of certain steps taken by the Corporation in an effort to eliminate or limit any further deterioration as previously discussed. The timing of the identification of impaired loans was accelerated as a result of the efforts previously discussed. A loan is defined as impaired in the accounting guidance when based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include loans considered trouble debt restructurings (TDRs), all loans 90 days or more delinquent, matured loans and loans less than 90 days delinquent and for which management has determined a loss is probable. A summary of the details regarding impaired loans follows:

Delinquent loans decreased $6.8 million to $71.9 million at December 31, 2009 from $78.7 million at March 31, 2009 as a result of increased monitoring and loss mitigation efforts.
The Corporation’s loan portfolio, foreclosed properties and repossessed assets are evaluated on a continuing basis to determine the necessity for additions and recaptures to the allowance for loan losses and the related adequacy of the balance in the allowance for loan losses account. See the discussion on the allowance for loan losses under the Significant Accounting Policies section for a discussion of our methodology. Foreclosed properties are recorded at fair value with charge-offs, if any, charged to the allowance for loan losses upon transfer to foreclosed property. Subsequent decreases in the valuation of foreclosed properties are recorded as a write-down of the foreclosed property with a corresponding charge to expense. The fair value is primarily based on appraisals, discounted cash flow analysis (the majority of which is based on current occupancy and lease rates) and pending offers.

Although management believes that the December 31, 2009 allowance for loan losses is adequate there can be no assurance that future adjustments to the allowance, through increased provision for loan losses, 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 achieve strong asset quality.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On an unconsolidated basis, the Corporation’s sources of funds include dividends from its subsidiaries, including the Bank, interest on its investments and returns on its real estate held for sale. As a condition of the Cease and Desist Order with the OTS and the receipt of funding from the U.S. Treasury through the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”), the Bank is currently not allowed to pay dividends to the Corporation. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are payments on loans and securities, deposits from retail and wholesale sources, FHLB advances and other borrowings. We use brokered CDs, which are rate sensitive. We also rely on advances from the FHLB of Chicago as a funding source. We have also been granted access to the Fed fund line with a correspondent bank as well as the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s discount window, none of which had been borrowed as of December 31, 2009. In addition as of December 31, 2009, the Corporation had outstanding borrowings from the FHLB of $583.2 million, out of our maximum borrowing capacity of $762.4 million, from the FHLB at this time.

On January 30, 2009, as part of the United States Department of the Treasury (the “UST”) Capital Purchase Program, the Corporation entered into a Letter Agreement with the UST. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement — Standard Terms (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) issued 110,000 shares of the Corporation’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the “Preferred Stock”), having a liquidation amount per share of $1,000, for a total purchase price of $110,000,000. The Preferred Stock will pay cumulative compounding dividends at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years following issuance and 9% per year thereafter. The Corporation has deferred the payment of dividends during the quarters ending June 30, 2009, September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009. If the Corporation defers the quarterly dividend payment six times (whether consecutive or not), the Corporation’s Board shall automatically expand by two members and UST (or the then current holder of the preferred stock) may elect two directors at the next annual meeting and at every subsequent annual meetings until the dividend is paid in full. The Corporation may not redeem the Preferred Stock during the first three years following issuance except with the proceeds from one or more qualified equity offerings. After three years, the Corporation may redeem shares of the Preferred Stock for the per share liquidation amount of $1,000 plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.
As long as any Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation may pay dividends on its Common Stock, $.10 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and redeem or repurchase its Common Stock, provided that all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past dividend periods on the Preferred Stock are fully paid. Prior to the third anniversary of the UST’s purchase of the Preferred Stock, unless Preferred Stock has been redeemed or the UST has transferred all of the Preferred Stock to third parties, the consent of the UST will be required for the Corporation to increase its Common Stock dividend or repurchase its Common Stock or other equity or capital securities, other than in connection with benefit plans consistent with past practice and certain other circumstances specified in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Preferred Stock will be non-voting except for class voting rights on matters that would adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock.
As a condition to participating in the CPP, the Corporation issued and sold to the UST a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to 7,399,103 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Corporation’s Common Stock, at an initial per share exercise price of $2.23, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $16,500,000. The term of the Warrant is ten years. Exercise of the Warrant was subject to the receipt by the Corporation of shareholder approval which was received at the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders. The Warrant provides for the adjustment of the exercise price should the Corporation not receive shareholder approval, as well as customary anti-dilution provisions. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the UST has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant.
The terms of the UST’s purchase of the preferred securities include certain restrictions on certain forms of executive compensation and limits on the tax deductibility of compensation we pay to executive management. The Corporation invested the proceeds of the sale of Preferred Stock and Warrants in the Bank as Tier 1 capital.
At December 31, 2009, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $15.7 million and commitments to extend funds to, or on behalf of, customers pursuant to lines and letters of credit of $242.6 million. Scheduled maturities of certificates of deposit for the Bank during the twelve months following December 31, 2009 amounted to $1.80 billion. Scheduled maturities of borrowings during the same period totaled $153.0 million for the Bank and $116.3 million for the Corporation. Management believes adequate resources are available to fund all Bank commitments to the extent required. For more information regarding the Corporation’s borrowings, see “Credit Agreement” section below.
The Corporation previously participated in the Mortgage Partnership Finance Program of the FHLB of Chicago (MPF Program). Pursuant to the credit enhancement feature of the MPF Program, the Corporation has retained a secondary credit loss exposure in the amount of $21.6 million at December 31, 2009 related to approximately $979.9 million of residential mortgage loans that the Corporation has originated as agent for the FHLB. Under the credit enhancement, the FHLB is liable for losses on loans up to one percent of the original delivered loan balances in each pool. The Corporation is then liable for losses over and above the first position up to a contractually agreed-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 through the MPF Program will be incurred under the credit

enhancement obligation. The MPF Program was discontinued in 2008 in its present format and the Corporation no longer funds loans through the MPF Program.
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 December 31, 2009, the Bank had $218.8 million of brokered deposits. At December 31, 2009, the Bank was under a cease and desist agreement with the OTS which will limit the Bank’s ability to accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits without prior approval of the OTS.
Under federal law and regulation, the Bank is required to meet certain tangible, core and risk-based capital requirements. Tangible capital generally consists of stockholders’ equity minus certain intangible assets. Core capital generally consists of tangible capital plus qualifying intangible assets. The risk-based capital requirements presently address credit risk related to both recorded and off-balance sheet commitments and obligations. The OTS requirement for the core capital ratio for the Bank is currently 3.00%. The requirement is 4.00% for all but the most highly-rated financial institutions.
The Cease and Desist Orders also required that, no later than September 30, 2009, the Bank meet and maintain both a core capital ratio equal to or greater than 7 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 11 percent. Further, no later than December 31, 2009, the Bank was required to meet and maintain both a core capital ratio equal to or greater than 8 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 12 percent. The Bank was required to submit to the OTS, and has submitted, a written capital contingency plan, a problem asset plan, a revised business plan, and an implementation plan resulting from a review of commercial lending practices. The Orders also require the Bank to review its current liquidity management policy and the adequacy of its allowance for loan and lease losses. The Bank has completed these reviews.
At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009, the Bank had a core capital ratio of 4.12 percent and 4.12 percent, respectively, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 7.36 percent and 7.59 percent, respectively, each below the required capital ratios set forth above. The Corporation has signed the Stock Purchase Agreement and Loan Agreement with Badger Anchor Holdings, LLC, to raise capital to meet the capital ratios. As a result, the OTS may take additional significant regulatory action against the Bank and Corporation which could, among other things, materially adversely affect the Corporation’s shareholders. All customer deposits remain fully insured to the highest limits set by the FDIC. The OTS may grant extensions to the timelines established by the Orders.
Our ability to meet our short-term liquidity and capital resource requirements may be subject to our ability to obtain additional debt financing and equity capital. We may increase our capital resources through offerings of equity securities (possibly including common shares and one or more classes of preferred shares), commercial paper, medium-term notes, securitization transactions structured as secured financings, and senior or subordinated notes. Through participation in the CPP, on January 30, 2009 we issued and sold preferred shares and warrants to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
On December 1, 2009, the Corporation entered into agreements with Badger Anchor Holdings, LLC (“Badger Holdings”), pursuant to which Badger Holdings will make up to a $400 million investment in the Corporation including a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $110 million (the “Transaction”).
Pursuant to the Transaction, Badger Holdings will purchase up to 483,333,333 shares of common stock at $0.60 per share and will provide the Corporation with a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $110 million, which will be convertible into shares of the Corporation’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of $0.60 per share or the per share tangible book value measured as of the last day of the most recently completed month preceding the month in which the conversion occurred.
In connection with the proposed Transaction, the Corporation will also offer up to 166 million shares of common stock to its shareholders of record on November 23, 2009, at a price of $0.60 per share. In connection with the additional offering of up to 166 million shares, a registration statement will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Consummation of the proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including: (i) resolution satisfactory to Badger Holdings of the Corporation’s outstanding loan from U.S. Bank and others in the aggregate

Table of Contents

principal amount of $116 million; (ii) conversion into common stock of the shares of preferred stock and warrants issued to the U.S. Treasury pursuant to the TARP Capital Purchase Program at an acceptable conversion rate; (iii) shareholder approval of the Transaction; (iv) receipt of all required regulatory approvals; (v) the absence of certain material adverse developments with respect to the Corporation and its business and (vi) other terms and conditions typical of similar transactions.
The underlying agreements to the transaction also provide that Badger Holdings will receive fees totaling five percent of the sum of the amount of the investment pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the aggregate principal amount of the loan pursuant to the Loan Agreement, plus five percent of the amount by which the outstanding indebtedness under the Corporation’s existing outstanding loan from U.S. Bank is reduced and/or converted to equity.
In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Corporation will enter into a registration rights agreement with Badger Holdings at the closing of the Transaction.
Upon the completion of the proposed Transaction, assuming the maximum number of shares are purchased by Badger Holdings, current shareholders of the Corporation would own less than 5 percent of the Corporation’s outstanding common shares and Badger Holdings would own more than 80 percent of the Corporation’s outstanding shares. Badger Holdings will be registered as a savings and loan holding company.
On March 31, 2010, the Corporation and Badger Anchor Holdings, LLC mutually terminated the agreement because several conditions to closing had not been met.

Credit Agreement
On December 22, 2009, we entered into Amendment No. 5 (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2008, (the “Credit Agreement,”) among the Corporation, the lenders from time to time a party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent for such lenders, or the “Agent.” The Amendment provides that the Corporation must pay in full the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement on the earlier of the Corporation’s receipt of net proceeds of a financing transaction from the sale of equity securities in an amount not less than $116.3 million or May 31, 2010. The Corporation incurred an amendment fee of $1.2 million that is being amortized to interest expense.
The Amendment also provides that the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement shall bear interest equal to a “Base Rate” of 8% per annum up to and including December 31, 2009 and at all times thereafter at a floating rate per annum equal to the prime rate announced by the Agent from time to time, plus a “Deferred Interest Rate” of 4.0% per annum up to and including December 31, 2009 and at all times thereafter, the difference at any time between 12.0% per annum and the Base Rate. Interest accruing at the Base Rate is due on the last day of each month and on May 31, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”); interest accruing at the Deferred Interest Rate is due on the earlier of (i) the date the Loans are paid in full or (ii) the Maturity Date.
Within two business days after the Corporation has knowledge of the event, the CFO shall submit a statement describing (i) any event which, either of itself or with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a Default under the Credit Agreement or a default or an event of default under any other material agreement to which the Corporation or Bank is a party, including that certain Stock Purchase Agreement and Loan Agreement between the Corporation and Badger Anchor Holdings, LLC, together with a statement of the actions which the Corporation proposes to take and (ii) any pending or threatened litigation or certain administrative proceedings.
Within 15 days after the end of each month, the Corporation’s president or vice president shall submit a certificate indicating whether the Corporation is in compliance with the following financial covenants:
    The Bank shall maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of not less than (i) 4.00% at all times during the period ending February 28, 2010 and (ii) 4.25% at all times thereafter.
 
    The Bank shall maintain a Total Risk Based Capital ratio of not less than (i) 7.25% at all times during the period ending February 28, 2010 and (ii) 7.50% at all times thereafter.
 
    The ratio of Non-Performing Loans to Gross Loans shall not exceed (i) 13.75% at all times during the period ending January 31, 2010 and (ii) 14.50% at all times thereafter.

The total outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2009 was $116.3 million. These borrowings are shown in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements as other borrowed funds. Under the Amendment, the Agent and the Lenders agree to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies against the Corporation until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than a failure to make principal payments on the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement or other Existing Defaults); or (ii) May 31, 2010. Notwithstanding the agreement to forbear, the Agent may at any time, in its sole discretion, take any action reasonably necessary to preserve or protect its interest in the stock of the Bank, Investment Directions, Inc. or any other collateral securing any of the obligations against the actions of the Corporation or any third party without notice to or the consent of any party.
The Credit Agreement and the Amendment also contain customary representations, warranties, conditions and events of default for agreements of such type. At December 31, 2009, the Corporation was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Agent and the Lenders have certain rights, including the right to accelerate the maturity of the borrowings if all covenants are not complied with. Currently, no such action has been taken by the Agent or the Lenders. Accordingly, this creates significant uncertainty related to the Corporation’s operations.
The Corporation subsequently entered into Amendment No. 6 of the Credit Agreement on April 29, 2010. Under the Amendment, the Agent and the Lenders agree to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies against the Corporation until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than a failure to make principal payments on the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement or other Existing Defaults); or (ii) May 31, 2011.
GUARANTEES
ASC 460-10-35 “Subsequent Measurement of Guarantees” requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value as a liability at inception and when a loss is probable and reasonably estimatable, as those terms are defined in ASC 450-20 “Loss Contingencies.” The recording of the outstanding liability in accordance with ASC 810-10-15 has not significantly affected the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition.
The Corporation’s consolidated real estate investment subsidiary, IDI, was required to guarantee the partnership loans of its consolidated subsidiaries for the development of homes for sale. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, IDI sold its interest in the majority of the real estate segment. As part of the transaction, IDI was released from its guarantees. The table below summarizes the individual subsidiaries and their respective guarantees and outstanding loan balances.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The primary function of asset and liability management is to provide liquidity and maintain an appropriate balance between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities within specified maturities and/or repricing dates. Interest rate risk is the imbalance between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at a given maturity or repricing date, and is commonly referred to as the interest rate gap (the “gap”). A positive gap exists when there are more assets than liabilities maturing or repricing within the same time frame. A negative gap occurs when there are more liabilities than assets maturing or repricing within the same time frame. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap over a particular period would tend to adversely affect net interest income over such period, while a positive gap over a particular period would tend to result in an increase in net interest income over such period.
The Bank’s strategy for asset and liability management is to maintain an interest rate gap that minimizes the impact of interest rate movements on the net interest margin. As part of this strategy, the Bank sells substantially all new originations of long-term, fixed-rate, single-family residential mortgage loans in the secondary market, and invests in adjustable-rate or medium-term, fixed-rate, single-family residential mortgage loans, medium-term mortgage-related securities and consumer loans, which generally have shorter terms to maturity and higher interest rates than single-family mortgage loans.
The Bank also originates multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans, which generally have adjustable or floating interest rates and/or shorter terms to maturity than conventional single-family residential loans. Long-term, fixed-rate, single-family residential 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 Bank.
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. The Bank’s cumulative net gap position at December 31, 2009 has not changed significantly since March 31, 2009. See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Asset/Liability Management” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program
In October 2008, the Secretary of the United States Department of the Treasury invoked the systemic risk exception of the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991 and the FDIC announced the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (the “TLGP”). The TLGP provides a guarantee, through the earlier of maturity or June 30, 2012, of certain senior unsecured debt issued by participating Eligible Entities (including the Corporation) between October 14, 2008 and June 30, 2009. The maximum amount of FDIC-guaranteed debt a participating Eligible Entity (including the Corporation) may have outstanding is 125% of the entity’s senior unsecured debt that was outstanding as of September 30, 2008 that was scheduled to mature on or before June 30, 2009. The ability of Eligible Entities (including the Corporation) to issue guaranteed debt under this program is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, the Corporation had no senior unsecured debt outstanding under the TLGP. The Corporation and the Bank signed a master agreement with the FDIC on December 5, 2008 for issuance of bonds under the program. The Corporation does not have any unsecured debt, thus must file for an exemption to be able to issue bonds under this program. The Bank is eligible to issue up to $88 million as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009 the Bank had $60.0 million of bonds issued.
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
On October 3, 2008, President Bush signed into law the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), giving the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) authority to take certain actions to restore liquidity and stability to the U.S. banking markets. Based upon its authority in the EESA, a number of programs to implement EESA have been announced. Those programs include the following:
  Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”). Pursuant to this program, Treasury, on behalf of the US government, will purchase preferred stock, along with warrants to purchase common stock, from certain financial institutions, including bank holding companies, savings and loan holding companies and banks or savings associations not controlled by a holding company. The investment will have a dividend rate of 5% per year, until the fifth anniversary of Treasury’s investment and a dividend of 9% thereafter. During the time Treasury holds securities issued pursuant to this program, participating financial institutions will be required to comply with certain provisions regarding executive compensation and corporate governance. Participation in this program also imposes certain restrictions upon an institution’s dividends to common shareholders and stock repurchase activities. We elected to participate in the CPP and received $110 million pursuant to the program.
  Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. This program contained both (i) a debt guarantee component, whereby the FDIC will guarantee until June 30, 2012, the senior unsecured debt issued by eligible financial institutions between October 14, 2008 and June 30, 2009; and (ii) an account transaction guarantee component, whereby the FDIC will insure 100% of non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts held at eligible financial institutions, such as payment processing accounts, payroll accounts and working capital accounts through December 31, 2009. The deadline for participation or opting out of this program was December 5, 2008. We elected not to opt out of the program.
  Temporary increase in deposit insurance coverage. Pursuant to the EESA, the FDIC temporarily raised the basic limit on federal deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor. The EESA provides that the basic deposit insurance limit will return to $100,000 after December 31, 2013, except for IRAs and other certain retirement accounts (including IRAs) which will remain at $250,000 per depositor.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) into law. The ARRA is intended to revive the US economy by creating millions of new jobs and stemming home foreclosures. For financial institutions that have received or will receive financial assistance under CPP or related programs, the ARRA significantly rewrites the original executive compensation and corporate governance provisions of Section 111 of the EESA. Among the most important changes instituted by the ARRA are new limits

on the ability of CPP recipients to pay incentive compensation to up to 20 of the next most highly-compensated employees in addition to the “senior executive officers,” a restriction on termination of employment payments to senior executive officers and the five next most highly-compensated employees and a requirement that CPP recipients implement “say on pay” shareholder votes. Further legislation is anticipated to be passed with respect to the economic recovery.
In February 2009, the Administration also announced its Financial Stability Plan and Homeowners Affordability and Stability Plan (“HASP”). The Financial Stability Plan is the second phase of TARP, to be administrated by the Treasury. Its four key elements include:
    the development of a public/private investment fund essentially structured as a government sponsored enterprise with the mission to purchase troubled assets from banks with an initial capitalization from government funds;
 
    the Capital Assistance Program under which the Treasury will purchase additional preferred stock available only for banks that have undergone a new stress test given by their regulator;
 
    an expansion of the Federal Reserve’s term asset-backed liquidity facility to support the purchase of up to $1 trillion in AAA — rated asset backed securities backed by consumer, student, and small business loans, and possible other types of loans; and
 
    the establishment of a mortgage loan modification program with $50 billion in federal funds further detailed in the HASP.
The HASP is a program aimed to help seven to nine million families restructure their mortgages to avoid foreclosure. The plan also develops guidance for loan modifications nationwide. HASP provides programs and funding for eligible refinancing of loans owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, along with incentives to lenders, mortgage servicers, and borrowers to modify mortgages of “responsible” homeowners who are at risk of defaulting on their mortgage. The goals of HASP are to assist in the prevention of home foreclosures and to help stabilize falling home prices.
Beyond the Corporation’s participation in certain programs, such as CPP, the Corporation will benefit from these programs if they help stabilize the national banking system and aid in the recovery of the housing market.
OTS Order to Cease and Desist
On June 26, 2009, the Corporation and the Bank each consented to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist (the “Corporation Order” and the “Bank Order,” respectively, and together, the “Orders”) by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”).
The Corporation Order requires that the Corporation notify, and in certain cases receive the permission of, the OTS prior to: (i) declaring, making or paying any dividends or other capital distributions on its capital stock, including the repurchase or redemption of its capital stock; (ii) incurring, issuing, renewing or rolling over any debt, increasing any current lines of credit or guaranteeing the debt of any entity; (iii) making certain changes to its directors or senior executive officers; (iv) entering into, renewing, extending or revising any contractual arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any of its directors or senior executive officers; and (v) making any golden parachute payments or prohibited indemnification payments. The Corporation’s board was also required to develop and submit to the OTS a three-year cash flow plan by July 31, 2009, which must be reviewed at least quarterly by the Corporation’s management and board for material deviations between the cash flow plan’s projections and actual results (the “Variance Analysis Report”). Lastly, within thirty days following the end of each quarter, the Corporation is required to provide the OTS its Variance Analysis Report for that quarter. The Corporation has complied with each of these requirements as of December 31, 2009.
The Bank Order requires that the Bank notify, or in certain cases receive the permission of, the OTS prior to (i) increasing its total assets in any quarter in excess of an amount equal to net interest credited on deposit liabilities during the quarter; (ii) accepting, rolling over or renewing any brokered deposits; (iii) making certain changes to its

directors or senior executive officers; (iv) entering into, renewing, extending or revising any contractual arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any of its directors or senior executive officers; (v) making any golden parachute or prohibited indemnification payments; (vi) paying dividends or making other capital distributions on its capital stock; (vii) entering into certain transactions with affiliates; and (viii) entering into third-party contracts outside the normal course of business.
The Orders also require that, no later than September 30, 2009, the Bank meet and maintain both a core capital ratio equal to or greater than 7 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 11 percent. Further, the Bank was required to meet and maintain both a core capital ratio equal to or greater than 8 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 12 percent. The Bank must also submit, and has submitted, to the OTS, within prescribed time periods, a written capital contingency plan, a problem asset plan, a revised business plan, and an implementation plan resulting from a review of commercial lending practices. The Orders also require the Bank to review its current liquidity management policy and the adequacy of its allowance for loan and lease losses.
At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009, the Bank had a core capital ratio of 4.12 percent and 4.12 percent, respectively, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 7.36 percent and 7.59 percent, respectively, each below the required capital ratios set forth above. The Corporation has signed the Stock Purchase Agreement and Loan Agreement with Badger, to raise capital to meet the capital ratios. On March 31, 2010, the Corporation and Badger Anchor Holdings, LLC mutually terminated the agreement. Due to the fact that this transaction was not completed, without a waiver by the OTS or amendment or modification of the Orders, the Bank could be subject to further regulatory action. All customer deposits remain fully insured to the highest limits set by the FDIC.
The description of each of the Orders and the corresponding Stipulation and Consent to Issuance of Order to Cease and Desist were previously filed attached as Exhibits to the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act,” and Section 27A of the Securities Act. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” and similar words or phrases. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of several factors more fully described under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Factors that could affect actual results include but are not limited to; (i) general market rates; (ii) changes in market interest rates and the shape of the yield curve; (iii) general economic conditions; (iv) unfavorable effects of future economic conditions, including inflation and recession; (v) real estate markets; (vi) legislative/regulatory changes; (vii) monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board; (viii) changes in the quality or composition of the Bank’s loan and investment portfolios; (ix) demand for loan products; (x) level of loan and mortgage-backed securities repayments; (xi) impact of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008; (xii) changes in the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program; (xiii) unprecedented volatility in equity, fixed income and other market valuations; (xiv) higher-than-expected credit losses due to business losses, constraints on borrowers’ ability to repay outstanding loans or the diminishment of the value of collateral securing such loans, capital market disruptions, changes in commercial or residential real estate development and real estate prices or other economic factors; (xv) substantial loss of customer deposit accounts; (xvi) soundness of other financial institutions with which the Corporation and the Bank engage in transactions; (xvii) increases in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums due to market developments and regulatory changes; (xviii) competition; (xix) success and timing of business strategies and the ability to effectively carry out the Bank’s business plan; (xx) inability to realize the benefits from cost saving initiatives, branch sales and/or branch closings; (xxi) demand for financial services in the Corporation’s market; (xxii) changes under the OTS Cease and Desist Order or Capital Restoration Plan; (xxiii) changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; (xxiv) inability to continue to operate as a going concern; (xxv) reduction in the value of certain assets; (xxvi)

inability to meet liquidity needs; (xxvii) inability to raise capital to comply with the requirements of regulators and for continued support of operations; (xxviii) inability to successfully implement out capital restoration plan; and (xxix) changes in the securities’ markets.
In addition, to the extent that we engage in acquisition transactions, such transactions 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. These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. All forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results, and there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations, and, therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this report. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
The Corporation does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
    The Corporation’s market rate risk has not materially changed from March 31, 2009. See Item 7A in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009. See also “Asset/Liability Management” in Part I, Item 2 of this report.
Item 4 Controls and Procedures.
    Internal Control over Financial Reporting
    In our 10K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, the Corporation identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) related to the following:
  1.   Our Internal Control over Financial Reporting related to the allowance for loan losses and the completeness and accuracy of the provision for loan losses contained multiple deficiencies that represent material weaknesses. Specifically the Corporation failed to:
    Maintain policies and procedures to ensure that loan personnel performed an analysis adequate to risk classify the loan portfolio.
 
    Effectively monitor the loan portfolio and identify problem loans in a timely manner.
 
    Maintain policies and procedures to ensure that ASC 310-10-35 “Receivables” documentation is prepared timely, accurately and subject to supervisory review.
 
    Receive current financial information on problem loans, in a timely manner, to ensure that these loans were evaluated for impairment under ASC 310-10-35.
 
    Establish policies and procedures to ensure that an impairment calculation is prepared for all loans identified as impaired and that the impairment calculation is updated on a quarterly basis.
 
    Effectively monitor problem loans to ensure that recent appraisals are used to support collateral valuation utilized in the impairment analysis.
 
    Maintain policies and procedures to ensure that the supporting documentation for the allowance for loan loss calculation is reviewed and tested by an individual independent of the allowance for loan loss process.
 
    Re-evaluate the qualitative factors used in the allowance calculation on a quarterly basis to assess the continued decline in the local and national economy; exacerbation of certain negative trends in real estate values; increasing regional unemployment levels; slowed

      demand for both new and existing housing; and the resulting stress on the Bank’s real estate and development portfolios.
    Properly review subsequent events and therefore had to restate its first quarter financial statements.
 
    Apply consistent discounts in its impairment analysis.
  2.   The Corporation did not maintain effective controls over financial reporting over impairment charges, related to Other Real Estate Owned (‘OREO’). The existing policies and procedures did not provide for sufficient supervisory controls around the valuation and recording of impairment charges for other real estate owned to ensure impairment charges were properly recognized and recorded.
 
  3.   The Corporation did not maintain effective entity-level controls to ensure that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This material weakness was identified by our auditors when they reviewed the financial statements and identified disclosures that either required significant modification or were missing altogether. The weakness relates primarily to disclosures required as a result of changing economic conditions, adoption of new accounting standards, and disclosure of unusual significant transactions. This material weakness was evidenced by the ineffective preparation of the financial statements and resulted from the lack of the necessary supervisory review to ensure accurate presentation and disclosure in the financial statements.
    The Corporation’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are not operating in an effective manner. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The Corporation’s internal control processes and procedures were inadequate to ensure that appraisals were reviewed and incorporated into the calculation of the specific reserves on impaired loans by the time the Form 10-Q was issued. Following its identification of the weakness, the Corporation determined that an additional adjustment to the allowance for loan losses was necessary.

     Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
    During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we have implemented a number changes in our internal control structure to address the material weaknesses described above. Following is a description of those changes.
  1.   Our Internal Control over Financial Reporting related to the allowance for loan losses and the completeness and accuracy of the provision for loan losses contained multiple deficiencies that represented material weaknesses. In addition to the hiring of a Chief Credit Risk Officer, the following changes were made to address these material weaknesses:
 
      To ensure early detection of and timely communication to the Board of Directors regarding deteriorating assets, the Corporation:
    Created and implemented a new loan risk rating system based on qualitative metrics to proactively identify loans with potential risk and move them to a substandard list.
 
    Developed a dedicated team to underwrite all new loans, modifications and renewals using the new loan risk rating system.
 
    Implemented procedural changes, including a “material change form” to ensure all downgrades are communicated and escalated to management on a timely basis.
 
    Began conducting monthly watch list, delinquencies and matured/maturing loan meetings as well as quarterly Portfolio Review meetings.
      The Corporation did not have a dedicated team to address loans identified as problem loans. The Corporation created a Special Assets Group to oversee problem loans. The Special Assets Group is responsible for collecting the information to perform analysis in accordance with ASC 310-10-35, assessing potential shortfall exposure, developing workout plans, and making recommendations for the impairment calculation. In addition:
    Problem loans over $300,000 in total exposure are assigned to a special asset officer that is determined by collateral type.
 
    Regular meetings are being held to assess resolution plans for problem loans.
 
    Proactive and aggressive steps are being taken to resolve the problem loan, including the obtainment of additional collateral, a loan restructuring or a pay down.
      To improve asset tracking and ensure application of a consistent accounting approach for all classified assets the Corporation implemented a new impairment analysis format and reevaluated all classified relationships over $500,000 in order to:
    Establish standard discount rates for all collateral types.
 
    Identify all related entities associated with existing impaired loans thereby ensuring a complete evaluation.
 
    Update the impairment evaluation procedure where collateral is the primary repayment source, so that collateral is now evaluated on a loan-by-loan basis.
 
    Define the appropriate calculation method for the impairment, collateral or cash flow.
 
    Establish a quarterly, independent review by internal audit to validate the impairment analysis

      The Corporation did not have a formal process for evaluating loan modifications for the accurate identification of Troubled Debt Restructures. A formal Trouble Debt Restructures (“TDR”) Policy has been developed and implemented as follows:
    The TDR Policy is incorporated within the ALLL Policy for ease of use and assurance of compliance.
 
    The TDR Policy clearly identifies the criteria for designating a loan modification as a TDR and outlines the appropriate measures for those classified as such.
 
    TDR Procedures have been developed to support the TDR Policy and ensure its accurate implementation.
      To improve the process of computing the allowance for loan and lease loss (“ALLL”) in accordance with ASC 450-2 the Corporation implemented an improved ALLL Policy. The ALLL Policy is designed to streamline and improve the timeliness of specific reserves taken within the ALLL calculation and ensure the historical and qualitative factors used in determining the general reserve are appropriate based on the underlying facts and circumstance within the loan portfolio. Specific changes in the process include the following:
    Identified specific risk concentrations within the loan portfolio to better track and understand borrower behavior.
 
    Developed and analyzed historical charge-off information by risk concentration to identify an appropriate historical look back period to serve as the basis for the historical loss component of the ALLL calculation.
 
    Developed qualitative factors using guidance from the December 2006 Interagency Statement on the Allowance for Loan Loss and current informational sources.
 
    Developed proper segregation of duties between those individuals responsible for preparing the general reserve portion of the ALLL and the specific reserve portion of the ALLL and those reviewing the overall adequacy of the ALLL.
 
    Developed a process to consistently document the ALLL calculation and the underlying support.
  2.   Our existing policies and procedures relating to OREO did not provide for sufficient supervisory controls around the valuation and recording of impairment charges for other real estate owned to ensure impairment charges were properly recognized and recorded. The following changes were made to correct these material weaknesses:
    An asset account has been set up for legal and miscellaneous expenses related to loans that have not completed the foreclosure process and been transferred to OREO but for which the Corporation believes they will be able to recover. This account is now reconciled on a monthly basis and reviewed for collectability in accordance with ASC 450-2.
 
    The OREO Policy was improved and implemented. Improvements include ordering appraisals on all OREO at the earlier of in-substance foreclosure or transfer to OREO and subsequently as deemed necessary by management, development of a standard form to determine values for all OREO, development of a checklist to determine the appropriate accounting entries for OREO, including entries related to OREO sales financed by the Bank, reconciliation of OREO accounts monthly and guidelines for accepting or declining offers to purchase.
  3.   Our controls over the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) were not effective. We have made changes to the financial statement close process as follows to enable us to prepare timely, accurate financial statements in accordance with GAAP:

69


Table of Contents

    Completion of a GAAP Disclosure Checklist provided by a nationally recognized accounting support vendor on a quarterly basis. This has enabled us to ensure that all required disclosures have been identified and included as deemed necessary.
 
    Developed a responsibility matrix and production calendar. The responsibility matrix identifies the preparer, reviewer and backup reviewer as well as a due date, which is determined by the production calendar.
 
    Engaged a regional public accounting firm to assist in the preparation of technical accounting memos and oversight of the financial statement production process.
    Other than the actions mentioned above, there has been no change in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting ((as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Corporation’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
    Management believes that the changes to the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting identified above will remediate the material weaknesses in internal control described above. However, since testing of the operating effectiveness of these changes is still in process, management has concluded that as of December 31, 2009, the disclosure controls and procedures are not operating in an effective manner.

Part II — Other Information
Item 1 Legal Proceedings.
The Corporation is involved in routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business which, in the aggregate, are believed by management of the Corporation to be immaterial to the financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation.
Item 1A Risk Factors.
In addition to the risk factors set forth below and the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
Risks Related to Our Business
We experienced a net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 directly attributable to a substantial deterioration in our land and construction loan portfolio and the resulting increase in our provision for loan losses.
We realized a net loss of $10.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The net loss is partially the result of a $10.5 million provision to our loan loss reserve. The loan loss reserve is the amount required to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level to absorb probable loan losses. The provision for loan losses is primarily attributable to our residential construction and residential land loan portfolios, which continue to experience deterioration in estimated collateral values and repayment abilities of some of our customers. Other reasons for the level of the provision for loan losses are attributable to the continuing general weakening economic conditions and decline in real estate values in the markets served by the Corporation.
At December 31, 2009, our non-performing loans (loans past due 90 days or more) were $303.9 million compared to $227.8 million at March 31, 2009. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were (1.91)% compared to (3.44)% for the corresponding period in 2008.
At December 31, 2009, approximately 74% of total gross loans were classified as first mortgage loans, with approximately 4% of loans being classified as construction loans and approximately 7% being classified as land loans.
The deterioration in our construction and land loan portfolios has been caused primarily by the weakening economy and the slowdown in sales of the housing market. The local unemployment rate was 8.3% as of December 31, 2009 compared to 9.4% at March 31, 2009. With many real estate projects requiring an extended time to market, some of our borrowers have exhausted their liquidity which may require us to place their loans into non-accrual status.

Table of Contents

Our business is subject to liquidity risk, and changes in our source of funds may adversely affect our performance and financial condition by increasing our cost of funds.
Our ability to make loans is directly related to our ability to secure funding. Retail deposits and core deposits are our primary source of liquidity. We also use brokered CDs, which are rate sensitive. We also rely on advances from the FHLB of Chicago as a funding source. We have also been granted access to the Fed fund line with a correspondent bank as well as the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s discount window, none of which had been borrowed as of December 31, 2009. In addition as of December 31, 2009, the Corporation had outstanding borrowings from the FHLB of $583.2 million, out of our maximum borrowing capacity of $762.4 billion, from the FHLB at this time.
Primary uses of funds include withdrawal of and interest payments on deposits, originations of loans and payment of operating expenses. Core deposits represent a significant source of low-cost funds. Alternative funding sources such as large balance time deposits or borrowings are a comparatively higher-cost source of funds. Liquidity risk arises from the inability to meet obligations when they come due or to manage unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources. Although we believe we can continue to pursue our core deposit funding strategy successfully, significant fluctuations in core deposit balances may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Additional increases in our level of non-performing assets will have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Weakening conditions in the real estate sector have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our loan portfolio. Non-performing assets increased by $64.0 million to $344.4 million, or 7.7% of total assets, at December 31, 2009 from $280.4 million, or 5.3% of total assets, at March 31, 2009. If loans that are currently non-performing further deteriorate we would need to increase our allowance to cover additional charge-offs. If loans that are currently performing become non-performing, we may need to continue to increase our allowance for loan losses if additional losses are anticipated which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. The increased time and expense associated with the work out of non-performing assets and potential non-performing assets also could adversely affect our operations.
Future sales or other dilution of the Corporation’s equity may adversely affect the market price of the Corporation’s common stock.
In connection with our participation in the CPP the Corporation has, or under other circumstances the Corporation may, issue additional common stock or preferred securities, including securities convertible or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock. Further, pursuant to the cease and desist order with the OTS, the Bank must meet certain capital ratios which may require additional equity capital, which would significantly dilute the current shareholders. The market price of the Corporation’s common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of common stock, preferred stock or similar securities in the market. The issuance of additional common stock would dilute the ownership interest of the Corporation’s existing shareholders.

72


Table of Contents

Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights and are subject to potential dilution.
Our articles of incorporation do not provide any shareholder with a preemptive right to subscribe for additional shares of common stock upon any increase thereof. Thus, upon the issuance of any additional shares of common stock or other voting securities of the Company or securities convertible into common stock or other voting securities, shareholders may be unable to maintain their pro rata voting or ownership interest in us.
On June 26, 2009, the Corporation and the Bank each consented to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist by the Office of Thrift Supervision. If we do not raise additional capital, we may not be in compliance with the capital requirements of the Bank’s Cease and Desist Order, which could have a material adverse effect upon us.
The Cease and Desist Orders required that, no later than September 30, 2009, the Bank meet and maintain both a core capital ratio equal to or greater than 7 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 11 percent. Further, no later than December 31, 2009, the Bank had to meet and maintain both a core capital ratio equal to or greater than 8 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 12 percent. At December 31, 2009, the Bank, based upon presently available unaudited financial information, had a core capital ratio of 4.12 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio of 7.59 percent, each below the required capital ratios set forth above. The Corporation has signed the Stock Purchase Agreement and Loan Agreement with Badger, to raise capital to meet the capital ratios. If completed, the Badger Transaction will result in significant dilution for the current common shareholders. If the Badger Transaction is not completed, without a waiver by the OTS or amendment or modification of the Orders, the Bank could be subject to further regulatory action. All customer deposits remain fully insured to the highest limits set by the FDIC.
If the Bank is placed in conservatorship or receivership, it is highly likely that such action would lead to a complete loss of all value of the Company’s ownership interest in the Bank. In addition, further restrictions could be placed on the Bank if it were determined that the Bank was undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized, with increasingly greater restrictions being imposed as any level of undercapitalization increased.
Anchor Bancorp and the Bank are no longer considered “adequately capitalized” for regulatory which will cause us to incur increased premiums for deposit insurance, limits the Bank’s ability to gather brokered deposits, and will trigger acceleration of certain of our brokered deposits.
As of December 31, 2009, AnchorBank is not considered “adequately capitalized” for regulatory capital purposes. As a result, the FDIC will assess higher deposit insurance premiums on the Bank, which will impact our earnings. Because the Bank is not considered “adequately capitalized”, the Bank is not able to accept new brokered deposits at this time or to renew maturing brokered deposits without FDIC approval. The Bank is also precluded from offering certificates of deposit at rates which exceed the national average from comparable certificates of deposit plus 75 basis points.

Our allowance for losses on loans and leases may not be adequate to cover probable losses.
Our level of non-performing loans increased significantly in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 and for the three months ended December 31, 2009, relative to comparable periods for the preceding year. Our provision for loan losses increased by $183.1 million to $205.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 from $22.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Our provision for loan losses was $10.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $56.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our allowance for loan losses increased by $27.3 million to $164.5 million, or 4.6% of total loans, at December 31, 2009 from $137.2 million, or 3.3% of total loans at March 31, 2009. Our allowance for loan losses also increased by $98.9 million to $137.2 million, or 3.3% of total loans, at March 31, 2009, from $38.3 million, or 0.9% of total loans, at March 31, 2008. Our allowance for loan and foreclosure losses was 51.6% at December 31, 2009, 52.1% at March 31, 2009 and 35.0% at March 31, 2008, respectively, of non-performing assets. There can be no assurance that any future declines in real estate market conditions and values, general economic conditions or changes in regulatory policies will not require us to increase our allowance for loan and lease losses, which would adversely affect our results of operations.
Future Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments will hurt our earnings.
In May 2009, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation adopted a final rule imposing a special assessment on all insured institutions due to recent bank and savings association failures. The emergency assessment amounts to 5 basis points of total assets minus Tier 1 Capital as of June 30, 2009. We recorded an expense of $2.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, to reflect the special assessment. The assessment was collected on September 30, 2009 and was recorded against earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The special assessment will negatively impact the Company’s earnings and the Company expects that non-interest expenses will increase approximately $2.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended March 31, 2009 as a result of this special assessment. Any additional emergency special assessment imposed by the FDIC will likely negatively impact the Company’s earnings.

We are not paying dividends on our common stock and are deferring distributions on our preferred stock, and are otherwise restricted from paying cash dividends on our common stock. The failure to resume paying dividends on our preferred stock may adversely affect us.
We historically paid cash dividends before we suspended dividend payments on our common stock. The Federal Reserve, as a matter of policy, has indicated that bank holding companies should not pay dividends using funds from the TARP CPP. There is no assurance that we will resume paying cash dividends. Even if we resume paying dividends, future payment of cash dividends on our common stock, if any, will be subject to the prior payment of all unpaid dividends and deferred distributions on our Series B Preferred Stock. Further, we need prior Treasury approval to increase our quarterly cash dividends prior to January 30, 2012, or until the date we redeem all shares of Series B Preferred Stock or the Treasury has transferred all shares of Series B Preferred Stock to third parties. All dividends are declared and paid at the discretion of our board of directors and are dependent upon our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant.
Further, dividend payments on our Series B Preferred Stock are cumulative and therefore unpaid dividends and distributions will accrue and compound on each subsequent dividend payment date. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of our company, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive for each share of Series B Preferred Stock the liquidation amount plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends. If we defer six quarterly dividend payments, whether or not consecutive, the Treasury will have the right to appoint two directors to our board of directors until all accrued but unpaid dividends have been paid. We have deferred three dividend payments on the Series B Preferred Stock held by Treasury.

We are party to a credit agreement that requires us to observe certain covenants that limit our flexibility in operating our business.
We are party to a Credit Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2008, by and among the Corporation, the financial institutions from time to time party to the agreement and U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent for the lenders, as amended by Amendment No. 5 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2009 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with affirmative and negative covenants customary for restricted indebtedness. These covenants limit our ability to, among other things:
    incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;
 
    pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments;
 
    make certain investments;
 
    sell certain assets; and
 
    consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets.
The Credit Agreement and the Amendment also contain customary representations, warranties, conditions and events of default for agreements of such type. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Agent and the lenders have certain rights, including the right to accelerate the maturity of the borrowings if all covenants are not complied with. Under the terms of the

Amendment, the Agent or the lenders have agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies until the earlier of (i) the occurrence of an event of default, as that term is defined in the Amendment, other than failure to make principal payments, or (ii) May 31, 2010.
If the lenders under the secured credit facilities accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to make the payments when due.
Accordingly, this creates significant uncertainty related to the Corporation’s operations.
We must pay in full the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement by the earlier of May 31, 2010 or the receipt of net proceeds of a financing transaction from the sale of equity securities.
As of December 31, 2009, the total revolving loan commitment under the Credit Agreement was $116.3 million and aggregate borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $116.3 million. We must pay in full the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement by the earlier of May 31, 2010 or the receipt of net proceeds of a financing transaction from the sale of equity securities. If the net proceeds are received from the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the terms of such investment prohibit the use of the investment proceeds to repay senior debt, then no payment is required from the Treasury investment. As of the date of this filing, we do not have sufficient cash on hand to reduce our outstanding borrowings to zero. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient capital or have sufficient cash on hand to reduce our outstanding borrowings to zero by May 31, 2010, which may limit our ability to fund ongoing operations.
Unless the maturity date is extended, our outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement are due on May 31, 2010. The Credit Agreement does not include a commitment to refinance the remaining outstanding balance of the loans when they mature and there is no guarantee that our lenders will renew their loans at that time. Refusal to provide us with renewals or refinancing opportunities would cause our indebtedness to become immediately due and payable upon the contractual maturity of such indebtedness, which could result in our insolvency if we are unable to repay the debt.
The Corporation subsequently entered into Amendment No. 6 of the Credit Agreement on April 29, 2010. Under the Amendment, the Agent and the Lenders agree to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies against the Corporation until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than a failure to make principal payments on the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement or other Existing Defaults); or (ii) May 31, 2011.
If the Agent or the lenders decided not to refinance the remaining outstanding balance of the loans then at the earlier of (i) the occurrence of an event of default under the Amendment (other than a failure to make principal payments), or (ii) May 31, 2010, the agent, on behalf of the lenders may, among other remedies, seize the outstanding shares of the Bank’s capital stock held by the Corporation or other securities or assets of the Corporation’s subsidiaries which have been pledged as collateral for borrowings under the Credit Agreement. If the Agent were to take one or more of these actions, it could have a material adverse affect on our reputation, operations and ability to continue as a going concern, and you could lose your investment in the securities.
If we are unable to renew, replace or expand our sources of financing on acceptable terms, it may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations and our ability to make distributions to shareholders. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive, and any holders of preferred stock that is currently outstanding and that we may issue in the future may receive, a distribution of our available assets prior to holders of our common stock. The decisions by investors and lenders to enter into equity and financing transactions with us will depend upon a number of factors, including our historical and projected financial performance, compliance with the terms of our current credit

arrangements, industry and market trends, the availability of capital and our investors’ and lenders’ policies and rates applicable thereto, and the relative attractiveness of alternative investment or lending opportunities.
Risks Related to Recent Market, Legislative and Regulatory Events
The TARP CPP and the ARRA impose certain executive compensation and corporate governance requirements that may adversely affect us and our business, including our ability to recruit and retain qualified employees.
The purchase agreement we entered into in connection with our participation in the TARP CPP required us to adopt the Treasury’s standards for executive compensation and corporate governance while the Treasury holds the equity issued pursuant to the TARP CPP, including the common stock which may be issued pursuant to the warrant to purchase 7,399,103 shares of common stock. These standards generally apply to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and the three next most highly compensated senior executive officers. The standards include:
    ensuring that incentive compensation for senior executives does not encourage unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the financial institution;
 
    required clawback of any bonus or incentive compensation paid to a senior executive based on statements of earnings, gains or other criteria that are later proven to be materially inaccurate;
 
    prohibition on making golden parachute payments to senior executives; and
 
    agreement not to deduct for tax purposes executive compensation in excess of $500,000 for each senior executive.
In particular, the change to the deductibility limit on executive compensation may increase the overall cost of our compensation programs in future periods.
The ARRA imposed further limitations on compensation during the TARP Assistance Period including
    a prohibition on making any golden parachute payment to a senior executive officer or any of our next five most highly compensated employees;
 
    a prohibition on any compensation plan that would encourage manipulation of the reported earnings to enhance the compensation of any of its employees; and
 
    a prohibition of the five highest paid executives from receiving or accruing any bonus, retention award, or incentive compensation, or bonus except for long-term restricted stock with a value not greater than one-third of the total amount of annual compensation of the employee receiving the stock.
The prohibition may expand to other employees based on increases in the aggregate value of financial assistance that we receive in the future.
The Treasury released an interim final rule on TARP standards for compensation and corporate governance on June 10, 2009, which implemented and further expanded the limitations and restrictions imposed on executive compensation and corporate governance by the TARP CPP and ARRA. The new Treasury interim final rules, which became effective on June 15, 2009, also prohibit any tax gross-up payments to senior executive officers and the next 20 highest paid

executives. The rule further authorizes the Treasury to establish the Office of the Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation with broad powers to review compensation plans and corporate governance matters of TARP recipients.
These provisions and any future rules issued by the Treasury could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain management capable and motivated sufficiently to manage and operate our business through difficult economic and market conditions. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified employees to manage and operate our business, we may not be able to successfully execute our business strategy.
TARP lending goals may not be attainable.
Congress and the bank regulators have encouraged recipients of TARP capital to use such capital to make loans and it may not be possible to safely, soundly and profitably make sufficient loans to creditworthy persons in the current economy to satisfy such goals. Congressional demands for additional lending by TARP capital recipients, and regulatory demands for demonstrating and reporting such lending are increasing. On November 12, 2008, the bank regulatory agencies issued a statement encouraging banks to, among other things, “lend prudently and responsibly to creditworthy borrowers” and to “work with borrowers to preserve homeownership and avoid preventable foreclosures.” We continue to lend and have expanded our mortgage loan originations, and to report our lending to the Treasury. The future demands for additional lending are unclear and uncertain, and we could be forced to make loans that involve risks or terms that we would not otherwise find acceptable or in our shareholders’ best interest. Such loans could adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition, and may be in conflict with bank regulations and requirements as to liquidity and capital. The profitability of funding such loans using deposits may be adversely affected by increased FDIC insurance premiums.
