Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2011
(Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts)
1. Basis of Presentation
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Bank Mutual Corporation (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiary Bank Mutual (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s subsidiaries.
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, and the instructions to Form 10-Q. The financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial information. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary for a fair presentation of operations, cash flows, and financial position have been included in the accompanying financial statements. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
In January 2010 the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to certain disclosures about fair value measurements. Certain aspects of the new guidance were effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, which for the Company was the first quarter of 2010. However, certain other aspects are not effective until the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2010, which was the first quarter of 2011 for the Company. The Company’s adoption of the new guidance had no impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.
In December 2010 the FASB issued new accounting guidance clarifying the presentation of pro forma information required for business combinations when a public company presents comparative financial information. The amendments in this guidance are effective prospectively for 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, 2010. This new accounting guidance had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.
In April 2011 the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to a creditor’s determination of whether a loan restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring. The new guidance is effective for the first interim period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, which will be the third quarter of 2011 for the Company. The Company’s adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity, although it will affect matters that will be disclosed in the financial statements.
The Company describes all of its critical and/or significant accounting policies, judgments, and estimates in Note 1 of its Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in its 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Particular attention should be paid to the Company’s allowance for losses on loans, which requires significant management judgments and/or estimates because of the inherent uncertainties surrounding this area and/or the subjective nature of the area. Information regarding the impact loss allowances have had on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, can be found in Note 3, “Loans Receivable,” below.
Significant judgments and/or estimates are also made in accounting for the Company’s goodwill and other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) of its securities available-for-sale. The Company updated its annual goodwill impairment analysis during the three months ended March 31, 2011. In the judgment of management there was no impairment of the Company’s goodwill as of that date. Information regarding the impact OTTI has had on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, can be found in Note 2, “Securities Available-for-Sale,” below.

The Company determined that the unrealized losses reported for its investment and mortgage-related securities as of March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, were temporary. The Company believes it is probable that it will receive all future contractual cash flows related to these securities. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is unlikely that it will be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost.
A portion of the Company’s securities that were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2011, and/or December 31, 2010, consisted of U.S. government and federal agency obligations and mortgage-related securities issued by government sponsored entities. Accordingly, the Company determined that none of those securities were other-

than-temporarily impaired as of those dates. The Company also determined that none of its private-label collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) were other-than-temporarily impaired as of those dates. This determination was based on management’s judgment regarding the nature of the loan collateral that supports the securities, a review of the current ratings issued on the securities by various credit rating agencies, a review of the actual delinquency and/or default performance of the loan collateral that supports the securities, and recent trends in the fair market values of the securities. In addition, as of March 31, 2011, the Company had private-label CMOs, with an aggregate carrying value of $36,458 and unrealized loss of $2,057, that were rated less than investment grade. These private-label CMOs were analyzed using modeling techniques that considered the priority of cash flows in the CMO structure and various default and loss rate scenarios that management considered appropriate given the nature of the loan collateral. Based on this analysis, management concluded that none of these securities were other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2011, or December 31, 2010.
Results of operations included gross realized gains on the sale of securities available-for-sale of $1,113, and $4,384 for the three month periods ending March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. None of these periods included gross realized losses on the sale of securities available-for-sale.
The amortized cost and fair values of securities by contractual maturity at March 31, 2011, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations without penalty.

Substantially all of the Company’s non-mortgage loans have also been made to borrowers in these same lending areas.
At both March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, certain one- to four-family mortgage loans, multi-family mortgage loans, and home equity loans with aggregate carrying values of approximately $200,000 were pledged to secure FHLB advances.
The unpaid principal balance of loans serviced for others was $1,093,857 and $1,076,772 at March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. These loans are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company adjusted certain factors used to determine the allowance for loan losses on loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. Management considered these adjustments necessary and prudent in light of recent trends in real estate values, economic conditions, and unemployment. The Company estimates that these adjustments, as well as overall changes in the balance of loans to which these factors were applied, resulted in $186 decrease in the total allowances for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The transfers noted in the table were the result of the reclassification of certain construction loans to permanent loans as a result of the completion of construction.

Loans rated “pass” or “watch” are generally current on contractual loan and principal payments and comply with other contractual loan terms. Pass loans generally have no noticeable credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses. Loans rated watch, however, will typically exhibit early signs of credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. Loans rated “special mention” do not currently expose the Company to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant a lower rating, but possess clear trends in credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. The allowance for loan losses on loans rated pass, watch, or special mention is typically evaluated collectively for impairment using a homogenous pool approach. This approach utilizes quantitative factors developed by management from its assessment of historical loss experience, qualitative factors, and other considerations.
Loans rated “substandard” involve a distinct possibility that the Company could sustain some loss if deficiencies associated with the loan are not corrected. Loans rated “doubtful” indicate that full collection is highly questionable or improbable. The Company did not have any loans that were rated doubtful at March 31, 2011, or December 31, 2010. Loans rated substandard or doubtful that are also considered in management’s judgment to be impaired are generally analyzed individually to determine an appropriate allowance for loan loss. A loan rated “loss” is considered uncollectible, even if a partial recovery could be expected in the future. The Company generally charges off loans that are rated as a loss. As such, the Company did not have any loans that were rated loss at March 31, 2011, or December 31, 2010.

7. Borrowings (continued)
The Bank had a $5,000 line of credit with a financial institution at March 31, 2011. At December 31, 2010, the Bank had a $5,000 and a $10,000 line of credit with two financial institutions. At March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, no amounts were outstanding on these lines of credit.
8. Shareholders’ Equity
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators, that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s and the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by federal regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total capital and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted assets (as all of these terms are defined in the applicable regulations). Management believes, as of March 31, 2011, that the Bank met or exceeded all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. The Company is not aware of any conditions or events which would change the Bank’s status from “well capitalized.”
The following table presents the Bank’s actual and required regulatory capital amounts and ratios as of the dates indicated:

The Company had stock options for 2,391,000 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2011, and for 2,064,000 shares as of March 31, 2010, that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. These shares had weighted average exercise prices of $9.50 and $10.75 per share as of those dates, respectively.
10. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has a discretionary, defined contribution savings plan (the “Savings Plan”). The Savings Plan is qualified under Sections 401 and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and provides employees meeting certain minimum age and service requirements the ability to make contributions to the Savings Plan on a pretax basis. The Company then matches a percentage of the employee’s contributions. Matching contributions made by the Company were $40 and $37 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The Company also has a defined benefit pension plan covering employees meeting certain minimum age and service requirements and a non-qualified supplemental pension plan for certain qualifying employees. The supplemental pension plan is funded through a “rabbi trust” arrangement. The benefits are generally based on years of service and the employee’s average annual compensation for five consecutive calendar years in the last ten calendar years that produces the highest average. The Company’s funding policy for the qualified plan is to contribute annually the amount necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

    216        
     
Net periodic benefit cost
  $ 761     $ 418  
     
The net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s supplemental plan was $6 and $107 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The amounts in both periods consisted solely of interest cost.
The amount of the 2011 contribution will be determined based on a number of factors, including the results of the Actuarial Valuation Report as of January 1, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, the amount of the 2011 contribution was unknown. No contribution is necessary for the Supplemental Plan.
11. Stock-Based Benefit Plans
In 2001 the Company’s shareholders approved the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2001 Plan”), which provided for stock option awards of up to 4,150,122 shares. Options granted under the 2001 Plan vested over five years and had expiration terms of ten years. The 2001 Plan also provided for restricted stock (“MRP”) awards of up to 1,226,977 shares. All options and MRPs awarded under the 2001 Plan are fully vested and no further awards may be granted under the 2001 Plan.
In 2004 the Company’s shareholders approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”), which provided for stock option awards of up to 4,106,362 shares. Options granted under the 2004 Plan vest over five years and have expiration terms of ten years. The 2004 Plan also provided for MRP awards of up to 1,642,521 shares. MRP shares awarded under the 2004 Plan vest over five years. As of March 31, 2011, 617,721 MRP shares and options for 1,051,362 shares remain eligible for award under the 2004 Plan.
MRP grants are amortized to compensation expense as the Company’s employees and directors become vested in the granted shares. The amount amortized to expense was $30 and $19 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively. Outstanding non-vested MRP grants had a fair value of $202 and an unamortized cost of $362 at March 31, 2011. The cost of these shares is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded stock option compensation expense of $40 and $9, respectively. As of March 31, 2011, there was $640 in total unrecognized stock option compensation expense related to non-vested options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

The intrinsic value of options exercised during the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was $38. There were no options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The weighted average grant date fair value of non-vested options at March 31, 2011, was $1.26 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, options for 421,000 shares were granted, options for 43,439 shares became vested, and forfeitures of non-vested options was 4,000 shares.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of granted options. This model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. However, the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from traded options and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. Option valuation models such as Black-Scholes require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility, which is computed using five-years of actual price activity in the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data of employee behavior as a basis to estimate the expected life of the options, as well as forfeitures due to employee terminations. The Company also uses its actual dividend yield at the time of the grant, as well as actual U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of the grant to estimate the risk-free rate. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to value 421,000 options granted during the three month period ended

11. Stock-Based Benefit Plans (continued)
March 31, 2011: risk free rate of 2.06%, dividend yield of 2.04%, expected stock volatility of 25%, and expected term to exercise of 7.5 years. These options had a weighted-average value of $1.15 per option using these assumptions. There were no options granted during the three month period ended March 31, 2010.
The Company has no stock compensation plans that have not been approved by shareholders.
12. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Off-balance sheet financial instruments or obligations whose contract amounts represent credit and/or interest rate are summarized in the following table as of the dates indicated:
                 
    March 31     December 31  
    2011     2010  
     
Unused consumer lines of credit
  $ 149,621     $ 146,381  
Unused commercial lines of credit
    23,403       20,856  
Commitments to extend credit:
               
Fixed rate
    36,363       73,340  
Adjustable rate
    8,213       1,784  
Undisbursed commercial loans
    1,155       462  
Standby letters of credit
    339       339  
The Company sells substantially all of its long-term, fixed-rate, one- to four-family loan originations in the secondary market. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk associated with these activities. Specifically, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) with borrowers, which are considered to be derivative instruments. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk in IRLCs (as well as interest rate risk in its loans held-for-sale) by entering into forward commitments to sell loans to the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”). Commitments to sell loans expose the Company to interest rate risk if market rates of interest decrease during the commitment period. Such forward commitments are considered to be derivative instruments. These derivatives are not designated as accounting hedges as specified in GAAP. As such, changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized currently through earnings.
As of March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, net unrealized gains of $11 and $1,474, respectively, were recognized in net gain on loan sales activities on the derivative instruments specified in the previous paragraph. These amounts were exclusive of net unrealized gains (losses) of $56 and $(800) on loans held-for-sale as of those dates, respectively, which were also included in net gain on loan sales activities.

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Disclosure of fair value information about certain financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated financial statements, for which it is practicable to estimate the value, is summarized below. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.
Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.
Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from this disclosure. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value of amounts presented does not represent the underlying value of the Company and is not particularly relevant to predicting the Company’s future earnings or cash flows.
The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.
Securities Available-for-Sale Fair values for these securities are based on quoted market prices or such prices of comparable instruments. These securities are recorded on the statement of financial condition at fair value; thus the carrying value equals fair value.
Loans Held-for-Sale The fair value of loans held-for-sale is based on the current market price for securities collateralized by similar loans. Loans held-for-sale are recorded on statement of financial condition at fair value; thus the carrying value equals fair value.
Loans Receivable Loans receivable are segregated by type such as one- to four-family, multi-family, and commercial real estate mortgage loans, consumer loans, and commercial business loans. The fair value of each type is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the expected maturity of the loans using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan type.
The estimated maturity is based on the Company’s historical experience with prepayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions.
Mortgage Servicing Rights The Company has calculated the fair market value of MSRs for those loans that are sold with servicing rights retained. For valuation purposes, loans are stratified by product type and, within product type, by interest rates. The fair value of MSRs is based upon the present value of estimated future cash flows using current market assumptions for prepayments, servicing cost and other factors.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock FHLB of Chicago stock is carried at cost, which is its redeemable (fair) value, since the market for this stock is restricted.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable The carrying values of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate their fair value.
Deposit Liabilities and Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance Fair value for demand deposits equal book value. Fair values for other deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current market borrowing interest rates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on deposits. The advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance are equal to their carrying amounts at the reporting date.

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Borrowings The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow calculations with the discount rates equal to interest rates currently being offered for borrowings with similar terms and maturities. The carrying value on short-term borrowings approximates fair value.
The carrying values and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are presented in the following table as of the indicated dates.

Excluded from the above table are off-balance-sheet items (refer to Note 12) as the fair value of these items is not significant.
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 (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing its financial assets and liabilities, 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. The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), the next highest priority to prices based on models, methodologies, and/or management judgments that rely on direct or indirect observable inputs (Level 2), and the lowest priority to prices derived from models, methodologies, and/or management judgments that rely on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy (i.e., Level 1, 2, or 3) the Company’s financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated. The Company’s financial liabilities accounted for at fair value were a negligible amount as of these dates. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

For purposes of the impairment testing of MSRs, the underlying mortgage loans are stratified into pools by product type and, within product type, by interest rates. Pools with an amortized cost basis greater than fair value are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements. Although not included in the above table, the Company considers the fair value of MSRs to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. There were no pools determined to be impaired at March 31, 2011. Pools determined to be impaired at December 31, 2010, had an amortized cost basis of $390 and a fair value of $384 as of that date. Accordingly, the Company had no valuation allowance as of March 31, 2011, compared to $6 as of December 31, 2010. Refer to Note 4 for additional disclosures related to MSRs.
For non-accrual loans greater than an established threshold and individually evaluated for impairment and all renegotiated loans, impairment is measured based on: (1) the fair value of the loan or the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs (collectively the “collateral value method”) or (2) the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate (the “discounted cash flow method”). The resulting valuation allowance, if any, is a component of the allowance for loan losses. The discounted cash flow method is a fair value measure. For the collateral value method, the Company generally obtains appraisals to support the fair value of collateral underlying the loans. Appraisals incorporate measures such as recent sales prices for comparable properties and costs of construction. The Company considers these fair values to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. For those loans individually evaluated for impairment using the collateral value method, a valuation allowance of $27,298 was recorded for loans with a recorded investment of $144,363 at March 31, 2011. These amounts were $31,571 and $149,665 at December 31, 2010, respectively.
Foreclosed properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. In determining fair value, the Company generally obtains appraisals to support the fair value of foreclosed properties. The Company considers these fair values to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2011, $20,368 in foreclosed properties were valued at collateral value compared to $17,742 at December 31, 2010.

14. Subsequent Event
In late April 2011 the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) asked the Company and the Bank to address certain items identified in the most recent OTS examinations, even though the examinations did not note any significant regulatory violations, by entering into Memoranda of Understanding (“MOU”). An MOU is an agreement between the OTS and an institution which requires the exercise of reasonable good faith efforts to comply with its requirements but is not subject to direct judicial enforcement as are other forms of supervisory action such as a consent or cease and desist orders.
Under the proposed MOU for the Company, an updated business and capital plan would be submitted to the OTS which, among other things, would include the establishment of a minimum tangible capital ratio (no particular ratio was specified by the draft MOU and was left to the judgment of the board of directors based on its risk profile analysis). The Company would also be required to provide notice and obtain the non-objection of the OTS prior to declaring or paying cash dividends, repurchasing Company shares, or incurring, issuing, increasing, modifying or redeeming any debt or lines of credit.
Pursuant to the proposed MOU with the Bank, the Bank would continue to develop individual workout plans for each problem asset, or group of problem assets, to any one borrower or loan relationship of $3,000 or more. The MOU would require the Bank to retain an independent third party consulting firm to conduct an external credit administration review and prepare a report, which the Bank would use to update its credit administration policies, procedures, and practices in accordance with the recommendations and suggestions. Pursuant to the MOU (and the Bank’s existing policies), the Bank would also provide additional information to the board of directors regarding the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses and its consistency with accounting guidance and the Bank’s experience and trends. The Bank would also be required to submit a business and capital plan (although no particular capital requirements are included in the MOU, with the ratios again left to the discretion of the board of directors based on its risk analysis). Under the MOU, the Bank would not be permitted to declare or pay dividends or make any other capital distributions without prior approval of the OTS.
As to many of these requirements, the Company believes it is already in substantial compliance and has already taken many of the steps contemplated by the MOUs. For example, the Bank has already hired additional personnel, re-allocated responsibilities in the credit administration and risk management areas and addressed the noted loan issues. The MOUs also would give the Company and the Bank substantial latitude in determining appropriate action and targets. The Company’s proposed MOU was approved by the board of directors on May 2, 2011, and the Bank board of directors is expected to approve the Bank’s proposed MOU on May 16, 2011. However, the MOUs will not be final or effective until formally accepted by the OTS, which is expected to occur in May 2011.

Results of Operations
Overview The Company’s net income was $1.0 million or $0.02 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $2.1 million or $0.05 per diluted share during the same period in 2010. The Company’s net income for these periods represented a return on average assets (“ROA”) of 0.16% and 0.24%, respectively, and a return on average equity (“ROE”) of 1.33% and 2.09%, respectively. The decline in net income between these periods was principally due to a decline in gains on sales of investments and an increase in compensation-related expenses. These developments were offset in part by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in losses on foreclosed real estate. The following paragraphs describe these changes in greater detail, along with other matters affecting the Company’s results of operations during the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Net Interest Income Net interest income increased by $1.7 million or 12.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to an improvement in the Company’s net interest margin between the quarters, which increased to 2.82% in the 2011 period compared to 1.76% in the 2010 period. This increase was principally the result of the

Table of Contents

Company’s early repayment of $756.0 million in high-cost borrowings from the FHLB of Chicago in December of last year, which contributed to a significant decline in the average cost of the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter in 2010, as well as a significant decline in the amount of high-cost liabilities outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company’s average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.42% compared to 2.46% in the same period of the previous year. In addition, average borrowings, which consist of advances from the FHLB of Chicago, declined from $906.8 million in the first quarter of 2010 to $146.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. Also contributing to the decline in the Company’s average cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the 2011 period compared to the 2010 period was a 49 basis point decline in the average cost of its deposit liabilities. The Company has continued to manage its overall liquidity position by maintaining the interest rates it offers on its certificates of deposits and certain other deposit accounts at relatively low levels compared to some competitors. However, absent a meaningful decline in market interest rates, management believes that the ability to significantly reduce the average cost of the Company’s deposit liabilities in 2011 is limited.
Also contributing to the increase in the Company’s net interest margin during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, was a 13 basis point improvement in the yield on interest-earning assets, from 3.99% in the first quarter of 2010 to 4.12% in the first quarter of 2011. This increase was caused by a shift in the mix of earning assets between the periods from lower-yielding assets, such as overnight investments and available-for-sale securities, to higher-yielding assets, such as loans receivable. This change in mix was caused by the Company’s use of lower-yielding assets to fund the early repayment of high-cost borrowings from the FHLB of Chicago in December of 2010, as previously described. Partially offsetting the favorable impact of the improved earning asset mix was a decline in the average yield on the Company’s loans receivable and available-for-sale securities in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter in 2010. This decline was caused by a declining interest rate environment during much of 2010 that resulted in lower yields on these earning assets. In addition, the Company sold a substantial number of higher-yielding available-for-sale securities in 2010 at gains, which reduced the overall yield on the securities portfolio.

Table of Contents

The following table presents certain details regarding the Company’s average balance sheet and net interest income for the periods indicated. The tables present the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. The average balances are derived from daily balances over the periods indicated. Interest income includes fees, which are considered adjustments to yields. Net interest spread is the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is derived by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets. No tax equivalent adjustments were made since the Company does not have any tax exempt investments.

Provision for Loan Losses The Company’s provision for loan losses was $3.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $3.4 million in the same period last year. The losses in both periods were impacted by continuing weak economic conditions, high unemployment, and lower values for real estate. These conditions have been particularly challenging for borrowers whose loans are secured by commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, and developed and undeveloped land. Beginning in the later part of last year, management began to notice an increase in vacancy rates, a decline in rents, and/or delays in unit sales for many of the properties that secure the Company’s loans. In many instances, management’s observations included loans that borrowers and/or loan guarantors have managed to keep current despite underlying difficulties with the collateral properties. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded $3.2 million in loss provisions against several commercial real estate and business loan relationships, the largest of which was a $903,000 loss on a $3.6 million loan relationship secured by multi-family dwellings. Although the borrower was current with respect to all principal and interest payments, management concluded that it was likely the borrower would not be able to continue to service the debt and that the loan was collateral dependent. The amount of the loss was based on an internal management evaluation of the collateral that secures the loan. In addition to this development, the Company recorded a $569,000 loss on an $8.3 million loan secured by an apartment complex and undeveloped land. This loss was based on an updated independent appraisal that was received during the quarter and was in addition to $1.5 million that was recorded against this loan in 2010. Remaining losses during the first quarter of 2011 tended to be on smaller commercial real estate and business loan relationships. With respect to single- family residential and consumer loans, the Company recorded modest recoveries in its provision for loan losses related to these portfolios during the first quarter of 2011. These recoveries were primarily the result of minor adjustments to the factors used to compute loss allowances on these portfolios under the Company’s homogenous pool approach for determining loss allowances on these portfolios.

During the first quarter of the previous year the Company recorded $2.2 million in loss provisions against four unrelated loan relationships aggregating $10.2 million that defaulted during that period. These loans were secured by office, commercial, and retail buildings, developed land, and equipment and inventory. In addition, the Company recorded $1.0 million in additional losses against two unrelated loan relationships aggregating $13.9 million that had defaulted in earlier periods.

Non-Interest Income Total non-interest income decreased by $3.2 million or 35.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. This decrease was principally caused by a decline in net gains on investments, which were $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $4.4 million in the same quarter of 2010. In the 2011 period the Company sold a $20.8 million investment in a mutual fund that management did not expect would perform well in a higher interest rate environment. In the first quarter of the prior year, the Company sold $167.6 million in longer-term, mortgage-related securities. Management considered these sales to be prudent in light of expectations that interest rates could trend higher in the future. Significant reasons for other changes in non-interest income are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Service charges on deposits increased by $78,000 or 5.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same quarter in 2010. Management attributes this improvement to an increase in the Company’s core deposit accounts, consisting of checking, savings, and money market accounts, which increased by $97.6 million or 11.7% during the twelve months ended March 31, 2011. In addition, management believes that unfavorable economic conditions during much of 2009 and 2010 resulted in reduced spending by consumers in general during those periods, which had an adverse impact on the Company’s transaction fee revenue, which consists principally of ATM, debit card, and overdraft fees.
Brokerage and insurance commissions were $614,000 during the first quarter of 2011, a $28,000 or 4.8% improvement over the same period in the previous year. This improvement was principally due to increased sales of tax-deferred annuity products in 2011 compared to 2010. It is not unusual for sales of such products to increase during periods of lower interest rates, when the returns on annuities improve relative to other investment alternatives such as certificates of deposit. In the first quarter of last year, this revenue item also benefited from higher commissions on sales of other equity investments due to favorable trends in equity markets during that time frame.
Net loan-related fees and servicing revenue was $251,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $158,000 in the same period of 2010. The following table presents the primary components of net loan-related fees and servicing revenue for the periods indicated:
                 
    Three months ended March 31

Loan-related fees and servicing revenue, net

Gross servicing fees and related amortization increased in the 2011 period compared to the 2010 period as a result of an increase in the amount of loans that the Company services for third-party investors. As of March 31, 2011, the Company serviced $1.1 billion in loans for third-party investors compared to $1.0

Table of Contents

billion at March 31, 2010. Loan-related fees and servicing revenue is also impacted by changes in the valuation allowance that is established against MSRs. The change in this allowance is recorded as a recovery or charge, as the case may be, in the period in which the change occurs.
The valuation of MSRs, as well as the periodic amortization of MSRs, is significantly influenced by the level of market interest rates and loan prepayments. If interest rates decrease and/or prepayment expectations increase, the Company could potentially record charges to earnings related to increases in the valuation allowance on its MSRs. In addition, amortization expense could increase due to likely increases in loan prepayment activity. Alternatively, if market interest rates for one- to four-family loans increase and/or actual or expected loan prepayment expectations decrease in future periods, the Company could recover all or a portion of previously established allowance on MSRs (if any), as well as record reduced levels of MSR amortization expense.
Gains on sales of loans were $596,000 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $653,000 in the same period last year. During the first quarter of 2011 sales of one- to four-family mortgage loans were $57.6 million compared to $45.9 million for the same period in 2010. Although loan sales increased in the 2011 period relative to the 2010 period, gains realized on these sales were lower in the 2011 period than they were in the 2010 period. This development was caused by fluctuations in period end mark-to-market adjustments on loans held-for-sale. Loans held-for-sale were $3.9 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $37.8 million at December 31, 2010. Despite the increase in loan sales in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter last year, loan sales have actually declined in recent months due to slightly higher interest rates for fixed-rate, single-family mortgage loans. The Company typically sells these loans in the secondary market. If this trend continues, management expects that gains on sales of loans in 2011 will be significantly lower than they were in 2010.
Non-Interest Expense Total non-interest expense increased by $488,000 or 2.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to a $686,000 or 7.9% increase in compensation-related expense in the 2011 quarter compared to the 2010 quarter. This increase was principally due to an increase in compensation expense related to the Company’s hiring of certain key management personnel in recent periods. In April 2010, David A. Baumgarten joined the Company as President and recently hired two new senior vice presidents to manage commercial banking and credit administration and risk. In addition, the Company recently hired several commercial relationship managers experienced in originating loans and selling deposit and cash management services to the mid-tier commercial banking market, defined by management as business entities with sales revenues of $10 to $100 million. This is a new market segment for the Company.
Also contributing to the increase in compensation-related expense in the 2011 quarter compared to the same period in the prior year was an increase in costs related to the Company’s defined-benefit pension plan. This increase was caused by an increase in the number of qualified participants in the plan in recent periods, as well as a decline in the interest rate used to determine the present value of the pension obligation.
The increase in compensation-related expense between the 2011 and 2010 periods was partially offset by a decline in ESOP expense. Last year marked the scheduled end of a 10-year commitment to the ESOP. The Company does not intend to make additional contributions to the ESOP at this time. However, this decision is subject to review on a periodic basis and contributions may be reinstated in future periods.
Federal insurance premiums were $1.0 million during both the first quarter of 2011 and the first quarter 2010. In February 2011 the FDIC issued a new rule as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) which changed the definition of a financial institution’s deposit insurance assessment base and revised the deposit insurance risk-based assessment rate schedule, among other things. Under the new rule the assessment base changed from an insured institution’s domestic deposits (minus certain allowable exclusions) to an insured institution’s average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity and certain other adjustments. In addition, the

37


Table of Contents

assessment rate schedule changed as more fully described in Part I, Item 1, “Business—Regulation and Supervision,” of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The new rule takes effect in the quarter beginning April 1, 2011. Under the new rule and schedule, management expects the Company’s FDIC insurance premiums to be modestly lower during the remainder of 2011, although there can be no assurances.
Losses on foreclosed real estate were $685,000 during the first quarter of 2011 compared a loss of $955,000 in the same quarter last year. In the past year the Company has experienced elevated losses on foreclosed real estate due to lower real estate values and weak economic conditions. If these conditions persist, losses on foreclosed real estate could remain elevated in the near term.
Income Tax Expense Income tax expense was $361,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $1.1 million in the same period of 2010. The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) for the three month periods in 2011 and 2010 was 26.0% and 33.3%, respectively. The Company’s ETR was lower in the 2011 period because non-taxable revenue, such as earnings from bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”), comprised a larger percentage of pre-tax earnings than it did in 2010.
Like many Wisconsin financial institutions, the Company has non-Wisconsin subsidiaries that hold and manage investment assets and loans, the income from which has not been subject to Wisconsin tax prior to 2009. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (the “Department”) has instituted an audit program specifically aimed at financial institutions’ out-of-state investment subsidiaries. The Department has asserted the position that some or all of the income of the out-of-state subsidiaries in years prior to 2009 was taxable in Wisconsin. In 2010 the Department’s auditor issued a Notice of Proposed Audit Report to the Bank which proposes to tax all of the income of the Bank’s out-of-state investment subsidiaries for all periods that are still open under the statute of limitations, which includes tax year back to 1997. This is merely a preliminary determination made by the auditor and does not represent a formal assessment. The Bank’s outside legal counsel has met with representatives of the Department to discuss, and object to, the auditor’s proposed adjustments. The Department has not yet responded to the Company’s objection.
Management continues to believe that the Bank has reported income and paid Wisconsin taxes in prior periods in accordance with applicable legal requirements and the Department’s long-standing interpretations of them and that the Bank’s position will prevail in discussions with the Department, court proceedings, or other actions that may occur. Ultimately, however, an adverse resolution of these matters could result in additional Wisconsin tax obligations for prior periods, which could have a substantial negative impact on the Bank’s earnings in the period such resolution is reached. The Bank may also incur further costs in the future to address and defend these issues.
Financial Condition
Overview The Company’s total assets decreased by $62.7 million or 2.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Total assets at March 31, 2011, were $2.53 billion compared to $2.59 billion at December 31, 2010. During the period the Company’s cash and cash equivalents declined by $149.0 million or 64.0% and its loans held-for-sale declined by $33.9 million or 89.7%. These developments were partially offset by a $119.3 million or 18.0% increase in securities available-for-sale during the period. The Company’s deposit liabilities decreased by $60.3 million or 2.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The Company’s total shareholders’ equity decreased slightly from $313.0 million at December 31, 2010, to $312.6 million at March 31, 2011. Non-performing assets increased by $4.5 million or 3.2% to $146.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
The following paragraphs describe these changes in greater detail, along with other changes in the Company’s financial condition during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Table of Contents

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents declined from $232.8 million at December 31, 2010, to $83.9 million at March 31, 2011. This decline was caused by the Company’s purchase of mortgage-related securities during the period and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in deposit liabilities.
Securities Available-for-Sale The Company’s portfolio of securities available-for-sale increased by $119.3 million or 18.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was primarily the result of the Company’s purchase of $168.8 million in medium-term government agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBSs”) and CMOs during the period. These purchases were partially offset by principal payments in the portfolio, as well as the sale of a $20.8 million mutual fund, as previously described.
The Company classifies all of its securities as available-for-sale. Changes in the fair value of such securities are recorded through accumulated other comprehensive loss (net of deferred income taxes), which is a component of shareholders’ equity. The fair value adjustment on the Company’s available-for-sale securities was a net unrealized loss of $2.6 million at March 31, 2011, compared to a net unrealized loss of $2.3 million at December 31, 2010.
The Company maintains an investment in private-label CMOs that were purchased from 2004 to 2006 and are secured by prime residential mortgage loans. The securities were all rated “triple-A” by various credit rating agencies at the time of their purchase. However, in recent periods several of the securities in the portfolio have been downgraded. The following table presents the credit ratings, carrying values, and unrealized gains (losses) of the Company’s private-label CMO portfolio as of the dates indicated (in instances of split-ratings, each security has been classified according to its lowest rating):
                                 
    March 31, 2011     December 31, 2010

Total private-label CMOs
  $ 81,851     $ (2,683 )   $ 87,602     $ (3,139 )
 
                       
Although the net unrealized gain (loss) on the Company’s private-label CMOs improved during the three months ended March 31, 2011, the market value for these securities has remained depressed due to weak economic conditions and low real estate values. However, management has determined that it is unlikely the Company will not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of these securities. As such, management has determined that none of the Company’s private-label CMOs are other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2011. However, collection is subject to numerous factors outside of the Company’s control and a future determination of OTTI could result in significant losses being recorded through earnings in future periods.
Loans Held-for-Sale Loans held-for-sale decreased from $37.8 million at December 31, 2010, to $3.9 million at March 31, 2011. The Company’s policy is to sell substantially all of its thirty-year, fixed-rate, one- to four-family mortgage loan originations, as well as certain fifteen-year, one- to four-family loans, in the secondary market. Originations of such loans declined in the first quarter of 2011 in response to higher interest rates on such loans. As a result, management expects that loan sales in 2011 will be significantly lower than they were in 2010.

Loans Receivable Loans receivable decreased by $842,000 or 0.06% during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The Company’s aggregate portfolio of multi-family and commercial real estate loans decreased slightly from $495.5 million at December 31, 2010, to $494.4 million at March 31, 2011. In addition, its construction and development loans decreased from $83.5 million to $69.6 million during the same period. This latter decrease was due in part to the reclassification of certain construction loans to permanent loans as a result of the completion of construction. The Company’s originations of multi-family and commercial real estate loans were $14.6 million in the aggregate during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $5.2 million during the same period in 2010. Originations of construction and development loans were $7.3 million and $4.1 million during these same periods, respectively.
The Company’s portfolio of one- to four-family loans increased slightly from $531.9 million at December 31, 2010, to $534.9 million at March 31, 2011. In recent periods the Company has elected to retain certain fifteen-year, fixed-rate, one- to- four family loans in its loan portfolio, rather than sell such loans in the secondary market. In addition, as a result of recent increases in market interest rates on fixed-rate one- to four-family loans, fewer borrowers with adjustable-rate loans have elected to refinance into thirty-year, fixed-rate loans, which the Company typically sells in the secondary market.
The Company’s portfolio of commercial business loans increased from $50.1 million at December 31, 2010, to $53.5 million at March 31, 2011. Commercial business loan originations during the three months ended March 31, 2011, were $12.1 million compared to $4.4 million during the same period in the previous year.
The Company’s consumer loan portfolio, which includes fixed-term home equity loans and lines of credit, declined from $243.5 million at December 31, 2010, to $237.8 million at March 31, 2011. The Company’s consumer loan originations were $16.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $15.2 million during the same period in the prior year.

In April 2010 David A. Baumgarten joined the Company as President. Mr. Baumgarten has significant commercial banking experience in senior roles with other large commercial banks and has significant experience in the Company’s major market area, Milwaukee and southeastern Wisconsin. In recent periods the Company has also hired two new senior vice presidents, as well as a number of other commercial relationship managers, that are experienced in managing and selling loans, deposit, and cash management services to the mid-tier commercial banking market, defined by the Company as business entities with sales revenues of $10 to $100 million. This is a new market segment for the Company. In

Table of Contents

2011 the Company intends to add additional professionals capable of serving this market segment. The Company is unable to determine at this time the level of success, if any, that it will have in increasing its share of this market segment. Further, the Company is unable to provide any assurances that it will be able to attract or retain the talent necessary to increase its share of this market segment.
Foreclosed Properties and Repossessed Assets The Company’s foreclosed properties and repossessed assets increased to $22.5 million at March 31, 2011, from $19.3 million at December 31, 2010. This increase was caused by foreclosures related to a number of smaller commercial real estate loans and, to a lesser extent, single-family residential loans. Management expects foreclosed properties and repossessed assets to trend higher in the near term as the Company continues to work out its non-performing loans.
Goodwill The Company recorded goodwill as a result of its acquisitions of two other financial institutions in 1997 and 2000. The Company analyzes goodwill annually for impairment or more frequently when, in the judgment of management, an event has occurred that may indicate that additional analysis is required. In this process, the Company compares its estimated fair value to its market capitalization to determine the appropriateness of the Company’s fair value. Significant management judgment is required in this process. If goodwill is determined to be impaired, it will be expensed in the period in which it becomes impaired.
The Company performed an annual impairment analysis of its goodwill during the third quarter of 2010, and determined that its goodwill was not impaired at that time. Due to a continued decline in the price of the Company’s common stock since that time, however, management also evaluated whether an event occurred that would require the Company to analyze goodwill for impairment as of March 31, 2011. Based on an internal update of a third-party independent appraisal of the Company, which estimated a “Step 1” fair value (as defined in GAAP) of the Company using market transaction information for comparable financial institutions and accepted valuation techniques, management concluded that the Company’s goodwill was not impaired as of March 31, 2011. As of that date, management estimated the Step 1 fair value of the Company was approximately 12% higher than the Company’s total shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2011. As such, management believes it is possible that a future Step 1 evaluation could indicate that a “Step 2” evaluation (as defined in GAAP) must be performed. Management performed a Step 2 evaluation as of March 31, 2011, in anticipation of this possibility and further concluded that goodwill would not be impaired in a Step 2 evaluation. However, there can be no assurances that future circumstances and/or conditions will not change that could result in an impairment of the Company’s goodwill, which could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s results of operations in a future period. Such circumstances and/or conditions could include, but are not limited to, further decline in the price of the Company’s common stock, deterioration in the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, adverse changes in the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, and/or market information indicating a decline in the fair value of comparable financial institutions used to estimate the fair value of the Company. Management continues to monitor circumstances and conditions for events that could result in an impairment of the Company’s goodwill.
Mortgage Servicing Rights The carrying values of the Company’s MSRs were $7.9 million at March 31, 2011, and $7.8 million at December 31, 2010, net of valuation allowances of zero and $6,000 as of these dates, respectively. As of March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Company serviced $1.1 billion in loans for third-party investors.
Other Assets As a condition of membership in the FHLB of Chicago, the Company holds shares of the common stock of the FHLB of Chicago that had a carrying value of $46.1 million at both March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, and which is included as a component of other assets. As of March 31, 2011, the Company owns substantially more common stock of the FHLB of Chicago than it would otherwise be required to own given its level of borrowings from the FHLB of Chicago. From 2007 through 2010 the FHLB of Chicago suspended the payment of dividends on its common stock, as well as the repurchase of common stock from its members. The FHLB of Chicago resumed cash dividends at a

41


Table of Contents

modest amount in the first quarter of 2011. The original suspension was due to the FHLB of Chicago entering into a memorandum of understanding with its primary regulator the Federal Housing Finance Board (“FHFB”) which, among other things, restricted the dividends that the FHLB of Chicago could pay without prior approval of the FHFB, as well as the stock that it can repurchase from its members. Management is unable to determine whether the FHLB of Chicago will continue to pay dividends on its common stock or the amount of future dividends, if any. Furthermore, the Company is unable to determine when, or if, it will be able to reduce its holdings of the common stock of the FHLB of Chicago.
The Company’s investment in the common stock of the FHLB of Chicago is carried at cost (par value) and is periodically reviewed for impairment. Investments in FHLB common stock are considered to be long-term investments under GAAP. Accordingly, the evaluation of FHLB common stock for impairment is based on management’s assessment of the ultimate recoverability at the stock’s par value rather than by temporary declines in its value. Based on a review of the FHLB of Chicago’s results of operations, capital, liquidity, commitments, and other activities, as well as the continued status of the FHLB System as a government-sponsored entity, management concluded that the Company’s FHLB stock was not impaired as of March 31, 2011. However, this conclusion is subject to numerous factors outside the Company’s control, including, but not limited to, future legislative or regulatory changes and/or adverse economic developments that could have a negative impact on the Company’s investment in the common stock of the FHLB of Chicago. Accordingly, a future determination of impairment could result in significant losses being recorded through earnings in future periods.
Deposit Liabilities Deposit liabilities decreased by $60.3 million or 2.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2011, to $2.02 billion compared to $2.08 billion at December 31, 2010. Core deposits, consisting of checking, savings, and money market accounts, declined by $19.4 million or 2.0% during the period while certificates of deposit declined by $41.0 million or 3.6%. Core deposits were higher than typical at December 31, 2010, due to the timing of certain local government tax deposits which had not been withdrawn as of that date. With respect to certificates of deposit, the Company has reduced the rates it offers on this product during the past year in an effort to manage its overall liquidity position, which has resulted in a decline in certificates of deposit.
Borrowings Borrowings, which consist of advances from the FHLB of Chicago, declined slightly during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The following table presents the Company’s FHLB advances by contractual maturities as of that date.
                 
    Amount     Rate  
    (Dollars in thousands)  
FHLB advances maturing in:

  $ 100,000       4.52 %

2017 and thereafter
    49,417       5.22  
     
Total FHLB advances
  $ 149,662       4.79 %
     
The Company’s advances from the FHLB of Chicago are subject to significant prepayment penalties if repaid by the Company prior to their stated maturity. In December 2010, the Company repaid $756.0 million in advances that had an average remaining maturity of six years. The Company recognized a one-time charge of $89.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2010, as previously noted. As of March 31, 2011, $100.0 million in advances from the FHLB of Chicago that mature in 2012 are redeemable at the option of the FHLB of Chicago, although management believes such is unlikely to occur.
Management believes that additional funds are available to be borrowed from the FHLB of Chicago or other sources in the future to fund loan originations or security purchases if needed or desirable; however, management does not expect additional borrowings to be significant in the near term. There can be no assurances of the future availability of borrowings or any particular level of future borrowings.

Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance Advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance (i.e., escrow deposits) were $11.9 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 2010. Escrow deposits typically increase during the course of the calendar year until real estate tax obligations are paid, generally in December of each year or January of the following year.
Other Liabilities The Company’s other liabilities declined to $34.0 million at March 31, 2011, from $45.0 million at December 31, 2010. Most of this decline was seasonal, caused by a decline in drafts payable related to disbursement of customer escrow deposits near the end of 2010.
Shareholders’ Equity The Company’s shareholders’ equity decreased slightly from $313.0 million at December 31, 2010, to $312.6 million at March 31, 2011. This decline was primarily due to the Company’s payment of $1.4 million in cash dividends, offset in part by $1.0 million in net income for the period. Also contributing to the decline in shareholders’ equity was an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, due to a modest increase in the unrealized loss on the Company’s available-for-sale securities during the period. The Company’s ratio of shareholders’ equity to total assets was 12.36% at March 31, 2011, compared to 12.07% at December 31, 2010. Book value per share of the Company’s common stock was $6.82 at March 31, 2011, compared to $6.84 at December 31, 2010.
A quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share was paid in the first quarter of 2011; the dividend payout ratio during this period was 132% of net income. On May 2, 2011, the Company’s board of directors announced that it had declared a $0.01 per share dividend payable on June 1, 2011, to shareholders of record on May 13, 2011. In view of the Company’s earnings level in the first quarter, the current regulatory and economic climate, and the proposed memorandum of understanding with the OTS, discussed below, the board of directors determined that it would be prudent to reduce the Company’s quarterly dividend payment. During the first quarter of 2011 the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock nor did its board of directors authorize a program for the purchase of additional shares.
For additional discussion relating to the Company’s ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares of its common stock, refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Resources,” below.

(1)   Amounts shown are for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, respectively.
The Company’s non-performing loans were $124.3 million or 9.39% of loans receivable as of March 31, 2011, compared to $122.9 million or 9.29% as of December 31, 2010. Non-performing assets, which includes non-performing loans, were $146.8 million or 5.80% of total assets and $142.2 million or 5.49% of total assets as of these same dates, respectively. The Company’s elevated level of non-performing loans and assets is due to continuing weakness in economic conditions, low values for commercial and multi-family real estate, and high unemployment rates in recent periods, which has resulted in increased stress on borrowers and increased loan delinquencies. Many properties securing the Company’s loans have experienced increased vacancy rates, reduced lease rates, and/or delays in unit sales, as well as lower real estate values. During the fourth quarter of 2010 in particular, management increased its assessment of the number of loans secured by commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, undeveloped land, and commercial business assets that are or will likely become collateral dependent. In many instances, management’s assessment included loans that borrowers have managed to keep current despite underlying difficulties with the properties that secure the loans. As of March 31, 2011, non-performing loans included $48.2 million in loans that were current on all contractual principal and interest payments, but which management determined should be classified as non-performing in light of underlying difficulties with the properties that secure the loans, as well as an increasingly strict regulatory environment. The Company has continued to record periodic interest payments on these loans in interest income provided the borrowers have remained current on the loans and provided, in the judgment of management, the Company’s net recorded investment in the loan has been deemed to be collectible.

The increases in non-performing commercial real estate and multi-family loans during the three months ended March 31, 2011, was largely due to the reclassification of certain construction loans during the period, due to the completion of the construction phase on these loan relationships.
In addition to non-performing assets, at March 31, 2011, management was closely monitoring $26.5 million in additional loans that were classified as “special mention” and $20.1 million that were adversely classified as “substandard” in accordance with the Company’s internal risk rating policy. These amounts compared to $8.9 million and $27.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2010. These loans are primarily secured by commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, developed and undeveloped land, and certain commercial business assets. Although these loans were performing in accordance with their contractual terms, management deemed their classification prudent in light of deterioration in the financial strength of the borrowers and/or the performance of the collateral, including an assessment of occupancy rates, lease rates, unit sales, and/or estimated changes in the value of the collateral. The decrease in substandard loans during the three months ended March 31, 2011, was largely due to the repayment of two loans from the same borrower that aggregated $6.1 million. The Company charged-off $1.9 million in previously established loan loss allowances related to the resolution of this loan relationship. The increase in special mention loans during the three months ended March 31, 2011, was primarily caused by the Company’s downgrade of a $15.9 million loan secured by a multi-tenant retail development. Although this loan is performing in accordance with its contractual terms, management determined that classification as special mention was appropriate in light of recent trends in occupancy levels and lease rates on the collateral property. The Company does not expect to incur a loss on this loan at this time, although there can be no assurance.
A summary of the allowance for loan losses is shown below for the periods indicated:

The Company’s allowance for loan losses declined to $43.5 million or 3.29% of total loans at March 31, 2011, compared to $48.0 million or 3.63% at December 31, 2010. As a percent of non-performing loans, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was 35.0% at March 31, 2011, compared to 39.0% at December 31, 2010. The decrease in the allowance was caused by $7.6 million in net charge-offs that was only partially offset by the additional loss allowances established during the period, as described earlier in this report. As previously noted, the Company charged off $1.9 million on two loans from the same borrower that aggregated $6.1 million and which were paid off during the period. In addition, the Company charged off $3.7 million on four unrelated loans that aggregated $6.8 million on which management commenced foreclosure proceedings during the period. For the most part, these allowances were established in prior periods.
The allowance for loan losses has been determined in accordance with GAAP. Management is responsible for the timely and periodic determination of the amount of the allowance required. Future provisions for loan losses will continue to be based upon management’s assessment of the overall loan portfolio and the underlying collateral, trends in non-performing loans, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. To the best of management’s knowledge, all known and inherent losses have been provided for in the allowance for loan losses.
Refer to “Operating Results—Provision for Loan Losses,” above, for additional discussion.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity The term “liquidity” refers to the Company’s ability to generate cash flow to fund loan originations, loan purchases, deposit withdrawals, and operating expenses. The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposit liabilities, scheduled payments, prepayments, and maturities of loans and securities available-for-sale, sales of one- to four-family loans in the secondary market, sales of securities available-for-sale, borrowings from the FHLB of Chicago, and cash flow provided by the Company’s operations. Historically, these sources of funds have been adequate to maintain liquidity, with the Company borrowing correspondingly more in periods in which its operations generate less cash.
Scheduled payments and maturities of loans and securities available-for-sale are relatively predictable sources of funds. However, cash flows from customer deposits, calls of investment securities, and prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities are strongly influenced by interest rates, general and local economic conditions, and competition in the marketplace. These factors increase the variability of cash flows from these sources of funds.
The Company is committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position; therefore, management monitors the Company’s liquidity position on a daily basis. Based upon historical experience and available sources of liquidity, management anticipates that the Company will have sufficient funds to meet current funding commitments. For additional discussion refer to “Financial Condition,” above, and “Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part I, Item 3, below.
Capital Resources At March 31, 2011, the Bank exceeded each of the applicable regulatory capital requirements (refer to Note 8, “Shareholders’ Equity,” of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, above). In order to be classified as “well-capitalized” by the FDIC, the Bank is

46


Table of Contents

required to have Tier 1 (leverage) capital to total adjusted assets of at least 5.0% and total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 10.0%. At March 31, 2011, the Bank had a Tier 1 capital ratio of 9.48% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 18.42%.
Current economic conditions and the weakness in the financial markets have caused bank regulators to become more aggressive in monitoring financial institutions. Among other actions, the regulators have been requiring institutions to maintain capital beyond regulatory requirements and to take aggressive loss reserves and write offs in view of the systemic level of problem loans. Although the Company and the Bank maintain capital well above current regulatory requirements—at levels sufficient to be considered well capitalized—and believe their loan loss experience has been generally better than peer institutions, the OTS, in late April 2011, asked the Company and the Bank to address certain items identified in the most recent OTS examinations, even though the examinations did not note any significant regulatory violations, by entering into Memoranda of Understanding (“MOU”). An MOU is an agreement between the OTS and an institution which requires the exercise of reasonable good faith efforts to comply with its requirements but is not subject to direct judicial enforcement as are other forms of supervisory action such as a consent or cease and desist orders.
Under the proposed MOU for the Company, an updated business and capital plan would be submitted to the OTS which, among other things, would include the establishment of a minimum tangible capital ratio (no particular ratio was specified by the draft MOU and was left to the judgment of the board of directors based on its risk profile analysis). The Company would also be required to provide notice and obtain the non-objection of the OTS prior to declaring or paying cash dividends, repurchasing Company shares, or incurring, issuing, increasing, modifying or redeeming any debt or lines of credit. Although the MOU is not yet in effect, the OTS provided a “non-objection” to the dividend declared by the board of directors in May 2011 and described herein.
Pursuant to the proposed MOU with the Bank, the Bank would continue to develop individual workout plans for each problem asset, or group of problem assets, to any one borrower or loan relationship of $3.0 million or more. The MOU would require the Bank to retain an independent third party consulting firm to conduct an external credit administration review and prepare a report, which the Bank would use to update its credit administration policies, procedures, and practices in accordance with the recommendations and suggestions. Pursuant to the MOU (and the Bank’s existing policies), the Bank would also provide additional information to the board of directors regarding the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses and its consistency with accounting guidance and the Bank’s experience and trends. The Bank would also be required to submit a business and capital plan (although no particular capital requirements are included in the MOU, with the ratios again left to the discretion of the board of directors based on its risk analysis). Under the MOU, the Bank would not be permitted to declare or pay dividends or make any other capital distributions without prior approval of the OTS.
As to many of these requirements, the Company believes it is already in substantial compliance and has already taken many of the steps contemplated by the MOUs. For example, the Bank has already hired additional personnel, re-allocated responsibilities in the credit administration and risk management areas and addressed the noted loan issues. The MOUs also would give the Company and the Bank substantial latitude in determining appropriate action and targets. The Company’s proposed MOU was approved by the board of directors on May 2, 2011, and the Bank board of directors is expected to approve the Bank’s proposed MOU on May 16, 2011. However, the MOUs will not be final or effective until formally accepted by the OTS, which is expected to occur in May 2011.
As noted in “Financial Condition—Shareholders’ Equity,” above, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2011, nor did its board of directors authorize a program for the purchase of additional shares. In addition, recently the board of directors reduced the regular quarterly dividend from $0.03 per share paid in the first quarter of 2011 to $0.01 per share to be paid in the second quarter. In view of the Company’s earnings level in the first quarter, the

47


Table of Contents

current regulatory and economic climate, and the proposed memorandum of understanding discussed above, the board of directors determined that it would be prudent to reduce the Company’s quarterly dividend payment and to continue to the suspension of stock repurchases.
The payment of dividends or the repurchase of common stock by the Company is highly dependent on the ability of the Company’s bank subsidiary to pay dividends or otherwise distribute capital to the Company. Such payments are subject to any requirements imposed by law or regulations and to the application and interpretation thereof by the OTS, which has become increasingly strict as to the amount of capital it expects financial institutions to maintain. The Company cannot provide any assurances that dividends will continue to be paid, the amount of any such dividends, or the possible future resumption of share repurchases. Refer to Part I, Item 1, “Business—Regulation and Supervision,” of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional discussion.

The Company’s operating lease obligations represent short- and long-term lease and rental payments for facilities, certain software and data processing equipment, and other equipment. Purchase obligations represent obligations under agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on the Company and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. The purchase obligation amounts presented above primarily relate to certain contractual payments for services provided for information technology.
The Company also has obligations under its deferred retirement plan for executives and directors as described in Note 10, “Employee Benefit Plans,” to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, above.

Approved commitments to extend credit, including loan commitments, standby letters of credit, unused lines of credit, and commercial letters of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements, since these commitments often expire without being drawn upon.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements At March 31, 2011, the Company had forward commitments to sell one- to four-family mortgage loans of $9.8 million to Fannie Mae. As described in Note 12, “Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk,” to the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company uses forward commitments to sell loans to mitigate interest rate risk on one- to four-family IRLCs and loans held-for-sale.
Contingent Liabilities The Company did not have a material exposure to contingent liabilities as of March 31, 2011.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Gap Analysis
Repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive” and by monitoring a financial institution’s interest rate sensitivity “gap.” An asset or liability is said to be “interest rate sensitive” within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity “gap” is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period.
A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a specific time period exceeds the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within the same period. During a period of rising interest rates, a financial institution with a negative gap position would be expected, absent the effects of other factors, to experience a greater increase in the costs of its liabilities relative to the yields of its assets and thus a decrease in the institution’s net interest income. An institution with a positive gap position would be expected, absent the effect of other factors, to experience the opposite result. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to reduce net interest income.

Table of Contents

The table on the following page presents the amounts of the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at March 31, 2011, which management anticipates will reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. The information presented in the following table is based on the following assumptions:
    Investment securities—based upon contractual maturities and if applicable, call dates. $122.8 million in investment securities with maturities beyond one year have been classified as due within one year base on their call dates. These investments may or may not be called prior to their stated maturities. $83.0 million in investment securities with call dates within one year have been classified as due beyond one year. These investments may be called prior to one year.
 
    Mortgage-related securities—based upon known repricing dates (if applicable) and an independent outside source for determining estimated repayment speeds. Actual cash flows may differ from these assumptions.
 
    Loans receivable—based upon contractual maturities, repricing dates (if applicable), scheduled repayments of principal, and projected prepayments of principal based upon the Company’s historical experience or anticipated prepayments. Actual cash flows may differ from these assumptions.
 
    Deposit liabilities—based upon contractual maturities and historical decay rates. Actual cash flows may differ from these assumptions.
 
    Borrowings—based upon stated maturity. However, $100.0 million of borrowings classified as due beyond one year contain a redemption option which has not been reflected in the analysis. These borrowings could be redeemed at the option of the lender prior to their stated maturity (refer to “Financial Condition—Borrowings” in Part I, Item 2, above).

Based on the above gap analysis, at March 31, 2011, the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year exceeded its interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within the same period by $223.2 million. This represented a negative cumulative one-year interest rate sensitivity gap of 8.82%, and a ratio of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year to interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year of 82.70%. Based on this information, over the course of the next year the Company’s net interest income could be adversely impacted by an increase in market interest rates. Alternatively, the Company’s net interest income could be favorably impacted by a decline in market interest rates. However, it should be noted that the Company’s future net interest income is affected by more than just future market

interest rates. Net interest income is also affected by absolute and relative levels of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the level of non-performing loans and other investments, and by other factors outlined in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Cautionary Statement,” above, as well as Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In addition to not anticipating all of the factors that could impact future net interest income, gap analysis has certain shortcomings. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features which limit changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the loan. If interest rates change, prepayment, and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of borrowers to make payments on their adjustable-rate loans may decrease if interest rates increase.
Present Value of Equity
In addition to the gap analysis table, management also uses simulation models to monitor interest rate risk. The models report the present value of equity (“PVE”) in different interest rate environments, assuming an instantaneous and permanent interest rate shock to all interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. The PVE is the difference between the present value of expected cash flows of interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. The changes in market value of assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates reflect the interest rate sensitivity of those assets and liabilities as their values are derived from the characteristics of the asset or liability (i.e., fixed rate, adjustable rate, caps, and floors) relative to the current interest rate environment. For example, in a rising interest rate environment, the fair market value of a fixed rate asset will decline whereas the fair market value of an adjustable rate asset, depending on its repricing characteristics, may not decline. Increases in the market value of assets will increase the PVE whereas decreases in market value of assets will decrease the PVE. Conversely, increases in the market value of liabilities will decrease the PVE whereas decreases in the market value of liabilities will increase the PVE.
The following table presents the estimated PVE over a range of interest rate change scenarios at March 31, 2011. The present value ratio shown in the table is the PVE as a percent of the present value of total assets in each of the different rate environments. For purposes of this table, management has made assumptions such as prepayment rates and decay rates similar to those used for the gap analysis table.

Based on the above analysis, the Company’s PVE could be adversely affected by an increase in interest rates. The decline in the PVE as a result of an increase in rates is attributable to the combined effects of a decline in the present value of the Company’s earning assets (which is further impacted by an extension in duration in rising rate environments due to slower prepayments on loan and mortgage-related securities and

reduced likelihood of calls on certain investment securities), partially offset by a decline in the present value of deposit liabilities and FHLB of Chicago advances. Also based on the above analysis, the Company’s PVE could be favorably impacted by a modest amount by a decrease in interest rates for opposite reasons than those described, above. However, it should be noted that the Company’s PVE is impacted by more than changes in market interest rates. Future PVE is also affected by management’s decisions relating to reinvestment of future cash flows, decisions relating to funding sources, and by other factors outlined in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Cautionary Statement,” above, as well as Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As is the case with gap analysis, PVE analysis also has certain shortcomings. PVE modeling requires management to make assumptions about future changes in market interest rates that are unlikely to occur, such as parallel or equal changes in all market rates across all maturity terms. PVE modeling also requires that management make assumptions which may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. For example, management makes assumptions regarding the acceleration rate of the prepayment speeds of higher yielding mortgage loans. Prepayments will accelerate in a falling rate environment and the reverse will occur in a rising rate environment. Management also assumes that decay rates on core deposits will accelerate in a rising rate environment and the reverse in a falling rate environment. The model assumes that the Company will take no action in response to the changes in interest rates, when in practice rate changes on certain products, such as savings deposits, may lag behind market changes. In addition, prepayment estimates and other assumptions within the model are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties, and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Accordingly, although the PVE model may provide an estimate of the Company’s interest rate risk at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company’s PVE.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
