SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Nature of Business

Anchor Bancorp (“Company”) was incorporated in September 2008 as the proposed holding company for Anchor  Bank (“Bank”) in connection with the Bank’s  conversion from mutual to stock form of ownership (See Note 3 of these Selected Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), which was completed on January 25, 2011.

Anchor Bank is a community-based savings bank primarily serving Western Washington through its 14 full-service banking offices (including four Wal-Mart store locations) and one loan production office located within Grays Harbor, Thurston, Lewis, Pierce, Mason and Clark counties, Washington. Anchor Bank’s business consists of attracting deposits from the public and utilizing those deposits to originate loans.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2011. For further information, refer to the Bank’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended June 30, 2010 included in the Company’s prospectus dated November 12, 2011.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on net income (loss) or equity.

Note 3 – Plan of Conversion and Change in Corporate Form and Subsequent Events

            On January 25, 2011, in accordance with a Plan of Conversion (“Plan”) adopted by its Board of Directors and as approved by its depositors and borrower members, the Bank (i) converted from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank, (ii) changed its name to “Anchor Bank” and (iii) became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  In connection with the conversion, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,550,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of $25.5 million.   The cost of conversion and the issuance of capital stock was approximately $2.1 million which was deducted from the proceeds of the offering.

The Company retained 10% or $2.3 million of the net conversion proceeds and downstreamed the remaining 90% or $21.1 million of the net conversion proceeds to the Bank in exchange a 100% ownership interest in the Bank.  The Bank intends to use this additional capital for future lending and investment activities and for general and other corporate purposes subject to regulatory limitations.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) which subscribed for 4% of the common stock sold in the offering or 102,000 shares.  As provided for in the Plan, the Bank established a liquidation account in the amount of retained earnings as of June 30, 2010,. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefits of eligible savings account holders as of June 30, 2007 and supplemental eligible account holders as of September 30, 2010 who maintain deposit accounts in the Bank after conversion.  The conversion will be accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and equity unchanged as a result.

Note 4 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-16, Transfer and Servicing (Topic 860) Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets which amends ASC 860-10, Transfers and Servicing-Overall (ASC 860-10) and adds transition paragraphs 860-10-65-3 of ASC 860-10. ASC 860-10 requires more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. ASC 860-10 is effective for the Bank for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2010. The adoption of ASC 860-10 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, (Topic 820)-Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 revises two disclosure requirements concerning fair value measurement and clarifies two others. It requires separate presentation of significant transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the reasons for such transfers. It will also require the presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within Level 3 on a gross basis rather than a net basis. The amendments also clarify that disclosure should be disaggregated by class of asset or liability and that disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques should be provided for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. The Company’s disclosures about fair value measurements are presented in Note 10. These new disclosure requirements were adopted by the Bank during the year ended June 30, 2010, with the exception of the requirement concerning gross presentation of Level 3 activity, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. With respect to the portions of this ASU that were adopted during the current period, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe that the adoption of the remaining portion of this ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On July 21, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, which requires significant new disclosures about the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables. The requirements are intended to enhance transparency regarding credit losses and the credit quality of loan and lease receivables. Under this statement, allowance for credit losses and fair value are to be disclosed by portfolio segment, while credit quality information, impaired financing receivables, and nonaccrual status are to be presented by class of financing receivable. Disclosure of the nature and extent, the financial impact, and the segment information of troubled debt restructurings will also be required. The
disclosures are to be presented at the level of disaggregation that management uses when assessing and monitoring the portfolio’s risk and performance. The Company adopted ASU during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Adoption of this ASU has significantly expanded the disclosures within the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, The Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.  This update provides additional guidance in determining what is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The update clarifies the two criteria that are required in determining a TDR. The update is effective for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update to its consolidated financial statements.

Note 5Regulatory Order, Economic Environment, and Management’s Plans
 
On August 12, 2009, the Bank entered into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist (the “Order”) with the FDIC, and the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks (“DFI”). The FDIC and DFI determined that the Bank had engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices. Under the terms of the Order, the Bank cannot declare dividends without the prior written approval of the FDIC and the DFI. Other material provisions of the Order require the Bank to: (i) maintain specified capital and liquidity ratios and (ii) prepare and submit progress reports to the FDIC and DFI. The Order will remain in effect until modified or terminated by the FDIC and the DFI. The Bank has been actively engaged in responding to the concerns raised by the Order.

The Order does not restrict the Bank from transacting its normal banking business. The Bank has continued to serve its customers in all areas including making loans, establishing lines of credit, accepting deposits, and processing banking transactions. All customer deposits remain fully insured to the highest limits set by the FDIC. The FDIC and DFI did not impose any monetary penalties. In response to financial results for the year ended June 30, 2010, and to address the provisions of the Order, the Bank has developed specific plans focused on increasing liquidity, reducing nonperforming assets, and improving capital levels.
 
The Bank’s first priority is to maintain liquidity sufficient to continue to meet all obligations as they come due. The Bank’s second priority is to reduce nonperforming assets. The Bank’s third priority is to increase capital levels in order to offset net losses incurred. The Bank plans to improve capital levels by managing the Bank’s asset size and composition, reducing or maintaining operating costs, as necessary.
 
Although the Bank is “well capitalized” at March 31, 2011 based on financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and the general percentages in the regulatory guidelines, because of the deficiencies cited in the Order, we are no longer regarded as “well capitalized” for federal regulatory purposes.  The Bank intends to use this additional capital raised in its recent public offering for future lending and investment activities and for general and other corporate purposes pursuant to regulatory limitations included in the Order.
 
Management believes the Bank is taking appropriate steps to comply with the Order.

Note 6 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.  The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to compute basic and diluted loss per share. The Company completed its stock conversion on January 25, 2011.

Allowance for Possible Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses must be maintained at a level necessary to absorb specific losses on impaired loans and probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The assessment includes analysis of several different factors, including delinquency, charge-off rates and the changing risk profile of our loan portfolio, as well as local economic conditions such as unemployment rates, bankruptcies and vacancy rates of business and residential properties.  During the quarter, $6.2 million of loans specifically allowed for in the prior quarter were charged off as confirmed losses against the allowance for loan losses.

A loan is considered impaired when we have determined that we may be unable to collect payments of principal or interest when due under the terms of the loan. In the process of identifying loans as impaired, management takes into consideration factors which include payment history and status, collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, and the probability of collecting scheduled payments in the future. Minor payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls typically do not result in a loan being classified as impaired. The significance of payment delays and shortfalls is considered by management on a case by case basis, after taking into consideration the totality of circumstances surrounding the loans and the borrowers, including payment history and amounts of any payment shortfall, length and reason for delay, and likelihood of return to stable performance. Impairment is
measured on a loan by loan basis for all loans in the portfolio except for the smaller groups of homogeneous consumer loans in the portfolio.

Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans.  Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due.  Loans are placed on non-accrual when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment of obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions.

Credit Quality Indicators.  Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities, as substandard, doubtful or loss. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and pay capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

When we classify problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, we may establish a specific allowance to address the risk specifically or we may allow the loss to be addressed in the general allowance. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been specifically allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as a loss, it is required to charge off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Assets that do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but possess identified weaknesses are required to be classified as either watch or special mention assets.

We also use early indicator loan grades to identify and track potential problem loans which do not rise to the levels described for substandard, doubtful or loss.  The grades for watch and special mention are assigned to loans which have been criticized based upon known characteristics such as periodic payment delinquency or stale financial information from the borrower and/or guarantors.  Loans identified as criticized (watch and special mention) or classified (substandard, doubtful, or loss) are subject to problem loan reporting not less than every three months.

Adjustable rate loans have interest rate adjustment limitations and are generally indexed to either the one-year Treasury bill or the monthly weighted-average cost of funds for 11th district institutions regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision, as published by the FHLB of Seattle.
 
Outstanding commitments to borrowers for loans as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 totaled $118,000 and $579,000, respectively.  Unfunded commitments under lines of credit as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 totaled $37.2 million and $36.7 million, respectively.
 
Trouble Debt Restructure. At March 31, 2011, troubled debt restructured loans, included in impaired loans above, totaled $12.6 million with $1.9 million currently in non-accrual.   Restructured loans are an option that the Bank uses to minimize risk of loss. The modifications have included items such as lowering the interest on the loan for a period of time and extending the maturity date of the loan. These modifications are made only when there is a reasonable and attainable workout plan that has been agreed to by the borrower and is in the Bank’s best interest. At March 31, 2011, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans have been modified in troubled debt restructurings.

Note 10 – Employee Benefit Plans

     Employee Stock Ownership Plan

              On January 25, 2011, the Bank established an ESOP for the benefit of substantially all employees. The ESOP borrowed $1.0 million from the Company and used those funds to acquire 102,000 shares of the Company’s stock at the time of the initial public offering at a price of $10.00 per share.

              Shares purchased by the ESOP with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account and allocated to ESOP participants on a pro rata basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to the Company. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Company’s discretionary contributions to the ESOP and earnings on the ESOP assets. Payments of principal and interest are due annually on June 30, the Company’s fiscal year end.
 
       As shares are committed to be released from collateral, we report compensation expense equal to the daily average market prices of the shares and the shares become outstanding for EPS computations. The compensation expense is accrued throughout the year.

              Shares held by the ESOP are as follows:

Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis - Assets and liabilities are considered to be fair valued on a recurring basis if fair value is measured regularly.  The following definitions describe the levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

The following definitions describe the levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The following table shows the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the nine months ended March 31, 2011).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis - Assets and liabilities are considered to be fair valued on a nonrecurring basis if the fair value measurement of the instrument does not necessarily result in a change in the amount recorded on the balance sheet. Generally, nonrecurring valuation is the result of the application of other accounting pronouncements that require assets or liabilities to be assessed for impairment or recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. The following table presents the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

The impaired loans amount above represents impaired, collateral dependent loans that have been adjusted to fair value.  When we identify a collateral dependent loan as impaired, we measure the impairment using the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs.  Depending on the characteristics of a loan, the fair value of collateral is generally estimated by obtaining external appraisals.  If we determine that the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, we recognize this impairment and adjust the carrying value of the loan to fair value through the allowance for loan and lease losses.  The loss represents charge-offs or impairments on collateral dependent loans for fair value adjustments based on the fair value of collateral.
 
The real estate owned amount above represents impaired real estate that has been adjusted to fair value.  At the time of foreclosure, other real estate owned is recorded at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan or fair value less costs to sell, which becomes the property's new basis. Any write-downs based on the asset's fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations such that the real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Fair value adjustments on other real estate owned are recognized within net loss on real estate owned. The loss represents impairments on other real estate owned for fair value adjustments based on the fair value of the real estate.

Cash and due from banks - For cash, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
Securities - The estimated fair values of Securities in debt securities were based on quoted market prices of similar securities.
 
Loans held for sale - The fair value of loans held-for-sale is based on quoted market prices from FHLMC. The FHLMC quotes are updated daily and represent prices at which loans are exchanged in high volumes and in a liquid market.  For impaired loans, the fair value was based on the face amount of the collateral.
 
Loans receivable, net - As of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, loans were priced using comparable market statistics. The loan portfolio was segregated into various categories and a weighted average valuation discount that approximated similar loan sales was applied to each category.  For impaired loans the fair value was based on the collateral less estimated selling costs.

Bank owned life insurance - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.
 
FHLB stock - FHLB stock is carried at par and does not have a readily determinable fair value. Ownership of FHLB stock is restricted to the member institutions, and can only be purchased and redeemed at par. Due to ongoing turmoil in the capital and mortgage markets, the FHLB of Seattle has a risk-based capital deficiency largely as a result of write-downs on their private label mortgage-backed securities portfolios.
 
Demand deposits, savings, money market, and certificates of deposit - The fair value of the Bank’s demand deposits, savings, and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis using current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
FHLB advances - The fair value of the Bank’s FHLB advances was calculated using the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate was equal to the current rate offered by the FHLB for advances of similar remaining maturities.
 
Accrued interest receivable and advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance - The carrying value has been determined to be a reasonable estimate of their fair value.

Background and Overview

Anchor Bank is a Washington chartered savings bank that was organized in 1907 as a Washington state chartered savings and loan association, converted to a federal mutual savings and loan association in 1935, and converted to a Washington state chartered mutual savings bank in 1990.  Effective January 25, 2011, the Bank converted from mutual to stock form.  Anchor Bank is a community-based savings bank primarily serving Western Washington through 14 full-service banking offices (including four Wal-Mart store locations) and one loan production office located within Grays Harbor, Thurston, Lewis, Pierce, Mason and Clark counties, Washington. We are in the business of attracting deposits from the public and utilizing those deposits to originate loans.  Historically, lending activities have been primarily directed toward the origination of one- to four-family residential construction, commercial real estate and consumer loans.  Since 1990, we have also offered commercial real estate loans and multi-family loans primarily in Western Washington. To an increasing extent in recent years, lending activities have also included the origination of residential construction loans through brokers, in particular within the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area and increased reliance on non-deposit sources of funds.

On August 12, 2009, Anchor Bank became subject to the Order, issued with its consent, by the FDIC and DFI. The Order is a formal corrective action pursuant to which Anchor Bank has agreed to take certain measures in the areas of capital, loan loss allowance determination, risk management, liquidity management, board oversight and monitoring of compliance, and imposes certain operating restrictions on Anchor Bank.  Management and the Bank’s Board of Directors have been taking action and implementing programs to comply with the requirements of the Order.  Information regarding Anchor Bank’s compliance with the Order is included in Note 3 to the Selected Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and “Risk Factors - Cease and Desist Order” in the prospectus dated November 12, 2010.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Related Accounting Policies

We use estimates and assumptions in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements. These policies relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the associated provision for loan losses, the valuation of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, deferred income taxes and the associated income tax expense, as well as valuation of real estate owned. Management reviews the allowance for loan losses for adequacy on a monthly basis and establishes a provision for loan losses that it believes is sufficient for the loan portfolio growth expected and the loan quality of the existing portfolio. The carrying value of the capitalized mortgage servicing rights are evaluated annually and the carrying value of real estate owned is assessed on a quarterly basis. Income tax expense and deferred income taxes are calculated using an estimated tax rate and are based on management’s understanding of our effective tax rate and the tax code.

 
 
 

24
 

Allowance for Loan Losses. Management recognizes that loan losses may occur over the life of a loan and that the allowance for loan losses must be maintained at a level necessary to absorb specific losses on impaired loans and probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our board of directors and management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The Executive Loan Committee analyzes several different factors including delinquency rates, charge-off rates and the changing risk profile of our loan portfolio, as well as local economic conditions such as unemployment rates, bankruptcies and vacancy rates of business and residential properties.
 
We believe that the accounting estimate related to the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period, requiring management to make assumptions about future losses on loans. The impact of a sudden large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings.

Our methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of specific allocations on significant individual credits that meet the definition of impaired and a general allowance amount.  The specific allowance component is determined when management believes that the collectability of a specifically identified large loan has been impaired and a loss is probable. The general allowance component relates to assets with no well-defined deficiency or weakness and takes into consideration loss that is inherent within the portfolio but has not been realized. The general allowance is determined by applying an expected loss percentage to various types of loans with similar characteristics and classified loans that are not analyzed specifically for impairment.  Because of the imprecision in calculating inherent and potential losses, the national and local economic conditions are also assessed to determine if the general allowance is adequate to cover losses.  We factored in an unallocated portion for market risk.
 
The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is charged against current period operating results and decreased by the amount of actual loan charge-offs, net of recoveries.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. Mortgage servicing rights represent the present value of the future loan servicing fees from the right to service loans for others. The most critical accounting policy associated with mortgage servicing is the methodology used to determine the fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, which requires the development of a number of estimates, the most critical of which is the mortgage loan prepayment speeds assumption. The mortgage loan prepayment speeds assumption is significantly impacted by interest rates. In general, during periods of falling interest rates, the mortgage loans prepay faster and the value of our mortgage servicing asset declines. Conversely, during periods of rising rates, the value of mortgage servicing rights generally increases due to slower rates of prepayments.  We account for mortgage servicing rights initially at fair value and on an ongoing basis evaluate the fair value.  We use the direct write off method, thus minimizing the potential for impairment.  We perform an annual review of mortgage servicing rights for potential changes in value. This review includes an independent appraisal by an outside party of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights.
 
Deferred Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are reported for temporary differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes. Deferred taxes are computed using the asset and liability.  Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in an institution’s income tax returns.  Deferred tax assets are deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences and carryforwards.  After the deferred tax asset has been measured using the applicable enacted tax rate and provisions of the enacted tax law, it is then necessary to assess the need for a valuation allowance.  A valuation allowance is needed when, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  As required by GAAP, available evidence is weighted heavily on cumulative losses with less weight placed on future projected profitability.  Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on whether there will be sufficient future taxable income of the appropriate character in the period during which deductible temporary differences reverse or within the carryback and carryforward periods available under tax law.  Based upon the available evidence, we recorded a valuation allowance of $3.2 million at March 31, 2011.  The deferred tax provision for the year is equal to the net change in the net deferred tax asset from the beginning to the end of the year, less amounts applicable to the change in value related to securities available for sale. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date. The primary differences between financial statement income and taxable income result from deferred loan fees and costs,
 
 
 
 

25
 
 
mortgage servicing rights, loan loss reserves and dividends received from the FHLB of Seattle.  Deferred income taxes do not include a liability for pre-1988 bad debt deductions allowed to thrift institutions that may be recaptured if the institution fails to qualify as a bank for income tax purposes in the future.

Real Estate Owned.  Real estate acquired through foreclosure is transferred to the real estate owned asset classification at the lesser of “cost” (principal balance less unearned loan fees, plus capitalized expenses of acquisition, if any) or “fair value” (estimated fair market value less estimated costs of disposal).  Costs associated with real estate owned for maintenance, repair, property tax, etc., are expensed during the period incurred. Assets held in real estate owned are reviewed monthly for potential impairment.  When impairment is indicated the impairment is charged against current period operating results and netted against the real estate owned to reflect a net book value.  At disposition any residual difference is either charged to current period earnings as a loss on sale or reflected as income in a gain on sale.

General. Total assets decreased $34.7 million, or 6.4%, to $510.1 million at March 31, 2011 from $544.8 million at June 30, 2010.  The decrease in assets during this period was primarily a result of a $47.9 million, or 12.3%, decrease in loans receivable and a $9.8 million, or 20.0%, decrease in securities available for sale, partially offset by a $29.8 million, or 90.6%, increase in cash and cash due from banks.   The proceeds from loan maturities and pay-offs and the sale of securities during the period, together with the $21.1 million in net conversion proceeds raised during the quarter, were used to reduced outstanding borrowings and eliminate brokered deposits, with the excess proceeds resulting in an increase in cash and cash due from banks.  Total liabilities decreased $52.2 million, or 10.4%, to $448.0 million at March 31, 2011 from $500.2 million at June 30, 2010.  The decrease in liabilities during the period was primarily the result of a $13.3 million, or 3.7%, decrease in deposits, which included a $21.7 million, or 100%, decrease in brokered deposits partially offset by an increase in other deposits, and a $38.5 million, or 28.1%, decrease in FHLB advances..  These decreases were due to our continued focus to replace wholesale deposits and borrowings with core deposits.

Assets. Total assets decreased $34.7 million at March 31, 2011 from June 30, 2010. The following table details the increases and decreases in the composition of our assets from June 30, 2010 to March 31, 2011:

Cash and due from banks increased $29.8 million or 90.6% at March 31, 2011 from June 30, 2010.  This increase was primarily related to the $23.2 million net proceeds the Company received upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering on January 25, 2011.

Securities available for sale decreased $9.8 million or 20.0% to $39.0 million at March 31, 2011 from $48.8 million at June 30, 2010. The decrease in this portfolio was primarily the result of sales and maturities of securities of $4.0 million and contractual repayments of $4.9 million.   Securities held-to-maturity decreased $2.0 million or 19.8% due to contractual repayments.

Loans receivable, net, decreased $47.9 million or 12.3% to $341.5 million at March 31, 2011 from $389.4 million at June 30, 2010.  The total construction loan portfolio decreased $18.1 million due to loan repayments and the transfer of loans to real estate owned.   Our total commercial loan real estate portfolio decreased $10.0 million as a result of our continued focus to reduce this portion of the loan portfolio.

 
Deposits.  Deposits decreased $13.3 million, or 3.7%, to $342.5 million at March 31, 2011 from $355.8 million at June 30, 2010.  A significant portion of the decrease was in brokered certificates of deposit which decreased $21.7 million and a $6.3 million decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits. These decreases were partially offset by increases in our money market accounts of $8.1 million and retail certificates of deposit of $2.5 million.

Borrowings.  FHLB advances decreased $38.5 million, or 28.1%, to $98.4 million at March 31, 2011 from $136.9 million at June 30, 2010. The decrease was related to our continued focus on reducing our reliance on outside borrowings and our emphasis on retail deposits.
.
               Stockholders’ Equity.  Total stockholders’ equity increased $17.4 million or 38.9% to $62.1 million at March 31, 2011 from $44.7 million at June 30, 2010.  The increase was primarily due to net proceeds of $23.2 million generated by the Company’s public offering, offset by a net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 of $4.1 million, the purchase of shares for the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) of $1.0 million and a decrease in other accumulated comprehensive income, net of tax of $643,000.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

General.  Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $3.4 million compared to a net loss of $326,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the net loss was $4.1 million compared to net income of $1.5 million for the comparable period in 2010.
 
Net Interest Income.  Net interest income remained relatively unchanged at $4.5 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, net interest income increased $234,000 or 1.8%, to $13.5 million from $13.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

Our net interest margin increased 54 basis points to 3.87% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from 3.33% for the same period the prior year. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 48 basis points to 5.32% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 5.80% for the comparable quarter in 2010. The decrease in yield was the result of the cash received through the offering. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 106 basis points to 1.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to 2.71% for the same period the prior year, primarily due to a lower rate and average balance of FHLB borrowings and certificates of deposit.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased $1.7 million, or 49.8%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 106 basis points to 1.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 2.71% for the same period of the prior year.  The decrease was primarily due to a 99 basis point decline in our average cost of certificates of deposit and a 184 basis point decline in the average cost of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  The average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased $88.3 million, or 17.7%, to $409.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $497.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily a result of a $34.2 million decline due a decrease in average retail certificates of deposits, a decrease in $11.8 million of average brokered deposits, and a $38.5 million decrease in average FHLB advances.

Provision for Loan Losses.  In connection with its analysis of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2011, management determined that a provision for loan losses of $3.6 million was required for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the $666,000 provision for loan losses established for the three months ended
 
 
March 31, 2010.  Most of the increases in the provision relates to the single family, home equity, and consumer loan portfolios and results from continued weakness in employment within Anchor’s primary market areas.   The specific allowance component is created when management believes that the collectability of a specific large loan, such as a real estate, multi-family or commercial real estate loan, has been impaired and a loss is probable.  The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is charged against current period earnings and decreased by the amount of actual loan charge-offs, net of recoveries.  During the quarter, $6.2 million of loans specifically allowed for in the prior quarter were charged off as confirmed losses against the allowance for loan losses.   Included in the $6.2 million is one large credit relationship for $4.2 million that, as previously disclosed, was classified as Substandard at December 31, 2010 and that experienced further deterioration during the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  This relationship, which was originated by a former loan officer, had a principal balance totaling $4.2 million at March 31, 2011 and has been reserved to a level of fifty percent (50%), based on estimates of the value of the Bank’s security positions.  

The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $5.1 million, an increase of $2.9 million from the $2.2 million provision for loan losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Management considers the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2011 to be adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of the above-mentioned factors affecting the loan portfolio. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

The provision for loan losses is impacted by the types of loans and the risk factors associated with each loan type in the Bank’s portfolio. As the Bank increases its commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios, the Bank anticipates it will increase its allowance for loan losses based upon the higher risk characteristics associated with commercial loans compared with one- to four- family residential loans, which have historically comprised the majority of the Bank’s loan portfolio.

Non-performing loans were $18.8 million or 3.7% of total assets at March 31, 2011, compared to $20.0 million, or 3.6% of total assets at March 31, 2010.   The following table details activity and information related to the allowance for loan losses at and for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Noninterest income decreased $288,000 or 19.0% to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1.5 million for the same quarter in 2010.  The decrease in deposit services fees is related to our two branch closures, and a decrease in ATM fee income as a result of the closures.  The decrease in the amount of gain on the sale of loans was the result of a lower volume of loans sold into the secondary market during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to lower demand for one-to-four home loans.
 
The following table provides a detailed analysis of the changes in the components of noninterest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010:

               Noninterest income decreased $771,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period in 2010 primarily as a result of a $722,000 decrease in gains on the sales of loan. There was a sale in August 2010 of $13.2 million in single family loans that resulted in a gain of $331,000 with no comparable gain during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.   Deposit fees decreased due to two Wal-Mart branch closures.  Gain on sale of Securities increased due to the sale of mortgage backed securities used to eliminate wholesale funds.

Liquidity, Commitments and Capital Resources

Liquidity. We are required to have enough cash flow in order to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure a safe and sound operation. Historically, we have maintained cash flow above the minimum level believed to be adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations, including potential deposit outflows. On a monthly basis, we review and update cash flow projections to ensure that adequate liquidity is maintained.
 
Our primary sources of funds are from customer deposits, loan repayments, loan sales, investment payments, maturing investment securities and advances from the FHLB of Seattle. These funds, together with retained earnings and equity, are used to make loans, acquire investment securities and other assets, and fund continuing operations. While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
 
We believe that our current liquidity position is sufficient to fund all of our existing commitments.  At March 31, 2011, the total approved loan origination commitments outstanding amounted to $118,000.   At the same date, unused lines of credit were $37.2 million.

 For purposes of determining our liquidity position, we use a concept of basic surplus, which is derived from the total of available for sale securities, as well as other liquid assets, less short-term liabilities.  Our Board of Directors has established a target range for basic surplus of 5% to 7%.  For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, our average basic surplus was 12.9% and 10.2%, respectively, which indicates we exceed the liquidity standard set by the Board.   The Order requires Anchor Bank to establish a liquidity and funds management policy that includes specific provisions to maintain a liquidity ratio of at least 15%.  As of March 31, 2011 our liquidity ratio is 26.86%.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as overnight deposits or mortgage-backed securities. On a longer-term basis, we maintain a strategy of investing in various lending products.  We use our sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments, to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, to fund loan commitments and to maintain our portfolio of mortgage-backed securities and investment securities.

Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2011 totaled $71.5 million with no  brokered deposits. Management’s policy is to generally maintain deposit rates at levels that are competitive with other local financial institutions. Based on historical experience, we believe that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with Anchor Bank. In addition, we had the ability to borrow an additional $25.7 million from the FHLB of Seattle.

We measure our liquidity based on our ability to fund our assets and to meet liability obligations when they come due. Liquidity (and funding) risk occurs when funds cannot be raised at reasonable prices, or in a reasonable time frame, to meet our normal or unanticipated obligations. We regularly monitor the mix between our assets and our liabilities to manage effectively our liquidity and funding requirements

Our primary source of funds is our deposits. When deposits are not available to provide the funds for our assets, we use alternative funding sources. These sources include, but are not limited to: cash management from the FHLB of Seattle, wholesale funding, brokered deposits, federal funds purchased and dealer repurchase agreements, as well as other short-term alternatives. Alternatively, we may also liquidate assets to meet our funding needs.  On a monthly basis, we estimate our liquidity sources and needs for the corning three-month, nine-month, and one-year
 
 
 
 

35
 
 
time periods. Also, we determine funding concentrations and our need for sources of funds other than deposits. This information is used by our Asset Liability Management Committee in forecasting funding needs and investing opportunities.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and will have to provide for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations.  The Company’s primary source of income will be ESOP loan payments, operating expense, and management expense reimbursement with no ability to pay dividends from Bank in the near future.   Our strategic business plan filed with the FDIC in connection with the Order contemplates no payment of dividends throughout the three-year period covered by the plan and we do not expect to be permitted to pay dividends as long as the Order remains in effect.  In addition, the FDIC’s non-objection of the conversion restricts us from making any distributions to stockholders that represent a return of capital without the written non-objection of the FDIC Regional Director.

Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.  The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of the Bank’s customers.  These financial instruments generally include commitments to originate mortgage, commercial and consumer loans, and involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.  The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
borrower is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  Because some commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

The same credit policies are used in making commitments as are used for on-balance sheet instruments.  Collateral is required in instances where deemed necessary.

Undisbursed balances of loans closed include funds not disbursed but committed for construction projects.  Unused lines of credit include funds not disbursed, but committed for, home equity, commercial and consumer lines of credit.

Commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily used to support public and private borrowing arrangements.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Capital.  Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to maintain a “well capitalized” institution in accordance with regulatory standards and the Order. Anchor Bank’s total regulatory capital was $63.1 million at March 31, 2011, or 12.4%, of total assets on that date. As of March 31, 2011, we exceeded all regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized as of that date.  Our regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2011, were as follows: Tier 1 capital 16.3%; Tier 1 (core) risk-based capital 11.6%; and total risk-based capital 17.6%. The regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized are 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively. Although we were “well capitalized” at March 31, 2011, based on financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and the general percentages in the regulatory guidelines, we are no longer regarded as “well capitalized” for federal regulatory purposes as a result of the deficiencies cited in the Order.  For additional information, see the discussion included in Note 5 to the Selected Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
           There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in the Company’s prospectus dated November 12, 2011.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other members of the Company’s management team as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2011, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  A number of internal control procedures were, however, modified during the quarter in conjunction with the Bank's internal control testing.  The Company also continued to implement suggestions from its internal auditor and independent auditors to strengthen existing controls.

The Company intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business.  While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures.  The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent every error or instance of fraud.  A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is engaged in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, none of which are currently considered to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


Item 1A.  Risk Factors

For information regarding the company’s risk factors, see “Risk Factors” in the Company’s prospectus, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) on November 12, 2011.  As of March 31, 2011, the risk factors of the Company have not changed materially from those disclosed in the prospectus

Item 2.   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On August 12, 2009, the Bank entered into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist (the “Order”) with the FDIC, and the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks (“DFI”). Under the terms of the Order, the Bank, among other things, cannot declare dividends to the Company without the prior written approval of the FDIC and the DFI.  In addition, the FDIC’s non-objection of our recently completed conversion from mutual to stock form restricts the Company from making any distributions to stockholders that represent a return of capital without the written non-objection of the FDIC Regional Director.  We do not expect to be permitted to pay dividends as long as the Order remains in effect.
