Part 1
          Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Wauwatosa Savings Bank, are referred to herein as the “Company”, “Wauwatosa Holdings”, or “we”.
Item 1. Business
BUSINESS OF WAUWATOSA HOLDINGS, INC.
          Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc. is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Wisconsin. The Company was formed as part of the reorganization of Wauwatosa Savings Bank into mutual holding company form in October 2005. As part of the reorganization, Wauwatosa Holdings was formed as a mid-tier stock holding company and Lamplighter Financial, MHC was formed as a Wisconsin mutual holding company. In connection with the reorganization, Wauwatosa Holdings sold approximately 30% of its stock in a subscription offering, contributed approximately 1.65% of its common stock to a charitable foundation, and issued the remaining approximately 68.35% to Lamplighter Financial, MHC. As part of the reorganization, Wauwatosa Savings Bank was converted from a mutual to a stock savings bank. At the conclusion of the reorganization, Wauwatosa Holdings owns all of the stock of Wauwatosa Savings and, in turn, is majority owned by Lamplighter Financial, MHC. In this report, we refer to Wauwatosa Savings Bank, both before and after the reorganization, as “Wauwatosa Savings” or the “Bank.”
          The Company maintains a website at wsbonline.com. We make available through that website, free or charge, copies of our Annual (or Transition) Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports, as soon as is reasonably practical after the Company electronically files those materials with, or furnishes them to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. You may access those reports by following the links under “Investor Relations” at the Company’s website.

     See also the factors regarding future operations discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” below.
BUSINESS OF WAUWATOSA SAVINGS BANK
General
     Our principal business consists of attracting deposits from the general public in the areas surrounding our main office location in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee, and our five other banking offices and our 7 automated teller machines (“ATM”), including stand-alone ATM facilities, located in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties, Wisconsin.
     We invest those deposits, together with funds generated from operations, primarily in residential real estate mortgage loans. At December 31, 2005, residential real estate mortgage loans comprised 83.9% of our total loans receivable. On that same date, our residential real estate mortgage loan portfolio was comprised of loans secured by single family homes 33.7%, two-to four-family homes (18.4%), and over four-family buildings 31.8%. The remainder of loans receivable consist of construction mortgages, commercial mortgages and mortgages on land.
     Our revenues are derived principally from interest on loans and securities. Our primary sources of funds are deposits and principal and interest payments on loans and securities. We also borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.
Business Strategy
     Our business strategy is to operate a well-capitalized and profitable community bank dedicated to providing quality customer service. Our principal business activity has historically been the origination of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. More recently, we have increased our efforts to originate loans secured by commercial real estate, including over four-family properties. There can be no assurances that we will successfully implement our business strategy.

Table of Contents

     Highlights of our business strategy are as follows:
    Remaining a Community-Oriented Institution. We were established in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee, in 1921, and have been operating continuously since that time. We have been, and continue to be, committed to meeting the financial needs of the communities we serve, and we are dedicated to providing quality personal service to our customers. Our focus will be to retain our mutual holding company form of organization consistent with our historical, community-oriented focus.
 
    Continuing Emphasis on Residential Real Estate Lending. We intend to continue our emphasis on the origination of residential real estate loans, especially over four-family loans. Current loans-to-one borrower limitations cap the amount of credit that we can extend to affiliated investors/developers at 15% of Wauwatosa Savings’ capital. The additional capital raised in the stock offering associated with our recent reorganization has increased our real estate lending capacity by enabling us to originate more loans and loans with larger balances. This has permitted us to serve over four-family borrowers with larger lending needs and to originate larger commercial real estate loans than we have in the past. In addition, we intend to expand the owner-occupied residential mortgage product offering by developing a long-term, fixed-rate loan and an indexed, adjustable mortgage loan product.
 
    Expansion within Our Market Area. Wauwatosa Savings’ growth in recent years has been achieved through the origination of real estate mortgages funded primarily by fixed-term deposits. We currently operate six banking offices, one of which is a supermarket branch open seven days a week. In 2003 and 2004, we opened two new full service branches in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, one in the city of Oconomowoc and the other in the city of Pewaukee. In 2005, we opened a new, larger branch office in Waukesha which replaced a smaller facility that we had out grown. We plan to expand our branch network in the next few years by adding one to two branches each year within our existing market area defined as Milwaukee and Waukesha counties and each of the other six contiguous counties. The first new branch office that we expect to open in calendar 2006 will be located in the City of Franklin, Wisconsin.
 
    Maintaining High Asset Quality. We have emphasized maintaining strong asset quality by following conservative underwriting criteria, and by exclusively originating loans secured by real estate in relatively favorable economic and real estate market conditions. Through strategies which focus on borrower workout arrangements, Wauwatosa Savings has been proactive in managing non-performing assets such that realized losses are minimized.
 
    Expansion of Product Offerings. We intend to broaden the line of both retail and commercial product offerings in the upcoming years. The first example of this is our recent purchase of Waterstone Mortgage Corporation, a mortgage broker with offices located in Pewaukee, Madison, Lake Geneva and Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and Livonia, Michigan. This acquisition expands both the types of mortgage loan products offered and the geographical coverage for those products.

Competition
     We face competition within our market area both in making real estate loans and attracting deposits. Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties have a high concentration of financial institutions including large commercial banks, community banks and credit unions. As of June 30, 2005, based on the FDIC’s annual Summary of Deposits Report, our market share of deposits represented 3.3% of deposits in Milwaukee County, the 5th largest market share in that county, and 2.6% of deposits in Waukesha County, the 13th largest market share there.
     Our competition for loans and deposits comes principally from commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking firms and credit unions. We face additional competition for deposits from money market funds, brokerage firms, and mutual funds. Our primary focus is to build and develop profitable customer relationships across all lines of business while maintaining our role as a community bank.
Market Area
     We operate primarily in the Milwaukee suburban market area, which has a stable population and household base. All of our offices are located in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties, Wisconsin, which are both part of the Milwaukee metropolitan area. According to a recent census report, during the past five years, the number of households in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties and in the United States increased at an annual rate of 0.1%, 1.8% and 1.2%, respectively. In 2005, per capita income for Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties was $23,707 and $35,270, and the median household income was $41,373 and $73,322, respectively. This compares to per capita income for the State of Wisconsin and the United States of $25,474 and $26,228, respectively, and median household income of $50,407 and $49,747, respectively.
     Our market area is located in southeastern Wisconsin including the entire Milwaukee metropolitan area. Wauwatosa borders the west side of the City of Milwaukee, in Milwaukee County. We have two full-service offices in Milwaukee County and three full-service offices in Waukesha County, which is immediately west of Milwaukee County. Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties have a mix of industry groups and employment sectors, including services, manufacturing and wholesale/retail trade as the basis of the local economy. These three sectors comprise approximately 70.7% of the employment base in Milwaukee County and approximately 71.2% of the employment base in Waukesha County. Waukesha County’s unemployment rate for November 2005 of 3.5% was lower than the comparable Wisconsin unemployment rate of 4.3% and lower than the national unemployment rate of 4.8%. Milwaukee County’s unemployment rate alone for the same period of 2005 was 5.5%, higher than both the Wisconsin unemployment rate and the national unemployment rate. Consistent with the national and Wisconsin unemployment trends, Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties’ November 2005 unemployment rates were stable compared to the November 2004 unemployment rates of 5.5% and 3.5%, respectively.
     Our primary market area for deposits includes the communities in which we maintain our banking office locations. Our primary lending area is broader than our primary deposit market area and includes all of Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties, and parts of the adjacent Ozaukee,

Washington, Jefferson, Walworth, and Racine Counties.
Lending Activities
     Historically, our principal lending activity has been the origination of mortgage loans for the purchase or refinancing of residential real estate. Generally, we retain all loans that we originate. However, we periodically sell participations in large loans when borrower relationships begin to approach the maximum loans to one-borrower limit. When we sell loans, we retain the servicing rights for such loans. Single family residential real estate loans represented $469.4 million, or 33.7%, of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2005. Two- to four-family residential real estate mortgage loans represented $256.3 million, or 18.4%, of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2005. Over four-family residential real estate mortgage loans represented $443.5 million, or 31.80%, of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2005. We also offer construction loans, commercial real estate loans, and land loans. At December 31, 2005, construction loans and commercial real estate loans totaled $165.5 million and $34.5 million, or 11.9% and 2.5%, respectively, of our total loan portfolio.

     One- to Four-Family Residential Mortgage Loans. Wauwatosa Savings’ primary lending activity consists of the origination of residential mortgage loans secured by properties located in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties. We currently offer only variable-rate mortgage loans for one- to four-family properties, with an interest rate which can be adjusted at our discretion semi-annually after either a three- or five-year initial fixed rate period. This loan product, commonly known as a Wisconsin escalator, does not conform to secondary market standards and therefore can not be sold as such. This product is adjustable at the discretion of Wauwatosa Savings.
     We originated $81.4 million and $52.0 million of single family and two- to four-family residential loans, respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2005. Our variable-rate mortgage loans generally provide for maximum rate adjustments of 100 basis points per adjustment, with a lifetime maximum adjustment up to 3%, regardless of the initial rate. Our variable-rate mortgage loans typically amortize over terms of up to 30 years.
     Variable rate mortgage loans can decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of variable rate mortgage loans to decrease the risk associated with changes in interest rates may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.
     All residential mortgage loans that we originate include “due-on-sale” clauses, which give us the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event that, among other things, the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. We also require homeowner’s insurance and where circumstances warrant, flood insurance on properties securing real estate loans. At December 31, 2005, our largest single family owner-occupied residential mortgage loan had a principal balance of $1.8 million and our largest single family non-owner-occupied residential real estate loan had a principal balance of $1.1 million. Both loans were performing in accordance with repayment terms. The average single family first mortgage loan balance was $137,000 on December 31, 2005. This compares with an average balance of $128,000 for two- to four-family mortgage loans on December 31, 2005.
     Wauwatosa Savings has traditionally offered employees special terms applicable to home mortgage loans granted on their principal residence. In December 2005, however, the Board of Directors discontinued the employee loan program for employee loans originated after March 31, 2006. Consequently, the terms of the employee loan program described below will only apply with respect to loans originated on or before March 31, 2006.
     Under the terms of the discontinued program, the employee rate and terms were available only to full-time, permanent employees and officers after a minimum of six months of employment. Mortgage loans were underwritten and granted under normal terms and conditions applicable to any borrower from Wauwatosa Savings. The employee interest rate was predicated upon Wauwatosa Savings’ cost of funds on December 31 of the immediately

preceding year and was adjusted annually. The employee rate was not permitted to exceed the contract rate plus or minus increases or decreases to the contract rate directed by the Wauwatosa Savings Board of Directors to be made to all residential mortgage loans originated at the same contract rate, subject to any limitations or the lender’s right to increase or decrease interest rates contained in the mortgage note. The employee rate was applicable to all mortgage loans that qualified under the employee loan policy statement that are scheduled for automatic payment. Mortgage loans that were not scheduled for automatic payment as of the last business day preceding a monthly installment payment due date reverted back to the contract rate for the following month. All mortgage loans made to employees or to officers of Wauwatosa Savings must meet all provisions of the applicable state and federal regulations now in effect or as amended from time to time by federal regulatory agencies. At December 31, 2005, the rate of interest on an employee rate mortgage loan was 3.08%, as compared to the weighted average rate of 6.01% on all single family mortgage loans at December 31, 2005. Employee rate mortgage loans totaled $12.8 million, or 1.1% of our residential mortgage loan portfolio on that date.
     We also offer home equity loans and home equity lines of credit, both of which are secured by owner-occupied one- to four-family residences. At December 31, 2005, home equity loans and equity lines of credit totaled $46.9 million, or 3.4% of total loans. Additionally, at December 31, 2005, the unadvanced amounts of home equity lines of credit totaled $31.8 million. The underwriting standards utilized for home equity loans and home equity lines of credit include a determination of the applicant’s credit history, an assessment of the applicant’s ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan and the value of the collateral securing the loan. Home equity loans are offered with adjustable rates of interest and with terms up to 10 years. The loan-to-value ratio for our home equity loans and our lines of credit is generally limited to 90%. Our home equity lines of credit have ten-year terms and adjustable rates of interest which are indexed to the prime rate, as reported in The Wall Street Journal. Interest rates on home equity lines of credit are generally limited to a maximum rate of 18%. The largest home equity line of credit outstanding on December 31, 2005 totaled $579,000 on a commitment of $850,000 on a property with an appraised value of $1,700,000.
     Over Four-family Real Estate Loans. We originate over four-family real estate loans as a significant portion of total annual loan production. Over four-family loans originated during the six months ended December 31, 2005 totaled $95.7 million or 33.5% of all mortgage loans originated. These loans are generally located in our primary market area. Over four-family real estate underwriting policies provide that typically such real estate loans may be made in amounts of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property provided such loan complies with our current loans-to-one borrower limit. Over four-family real estate loans may be made with terms including up to 30-year amortization schedules and are offered with interest rates that are fixed up to five years or are variable and adjust at our discretion. In reaching a decision on whether to make an over four-family real estate loan, we consider gross revenues and the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise, business cash flow and credit history, and the appraised value of the underlying property. In addition, we will also consider the terms and conditions of the leases and the credit quality of the tenants. We generally require that the properties securing these real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization divided by interest expense and current maturities of long term debt) of at least 1.15 times. Environmental surveys are required for commercial real estate loans when environmental risks are identified. Generally, over four-

-12-


Table of Contents

family and commercial real estate loans made to corporations, partnerships and other business entities require personal guarantees by the principals and owners of 20% or more of the entity.
     An over four-family borrower’s financial information is monitored on an ongoing basis by requiring periodic financial statement updates, payment history reviews and periodic face-to-face meetings with the borrower. We generally require borrowers with aggregate outstanding balances exceeding $1 million to provide annually updated financial statements and federal tax returns. These requirements also apply to all guarantors on these loans. We also require borrowers with rental investment property to provide an annual report of income and expenses for the property, including a tenant list and copies of leases, as applicable. The largest over four-family real estate loan in our portfolio at December 31, 2005 was an $8.7 million loan for a 112 unit, 14 building apartment complex located in Walworth County, Wisconsin. At December 31, 2005, the largest exposure to a related group of borrowers was $22.9 million, represented by 29 separate loans, primarily on residential properties with over four units located throughout Milwaukee. These loans were performing according to their terms. The average outstanding over four-family mortgage loan totaled $493,000 on December 31, 2005.
     Loans secured by over four-family real estate generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by over four-family properties are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.
     Residential Construction Loans. We originate construction loans to individuals and contractors for the construction and acquisition of personal and multi-family residences. At December 31, 2005, construction mortgage loans amounted to $165.5 million, or 11.9%, of total loans. At December 31, 2005, the unadvanced portion of these construction loans totaled $82.7 million.
     Our construction mortgage loans generally provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase, which is typically up to nine months although our policy is to consider construction periods as long as 12 months or more. At the end of the construction phase, the construction loan converts to a longer term mortgage loan. Construction loans can be made with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 90%, provided that the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance on the loan if the loan balance exceeds 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or sales price of the secured property. At December 31, 2005, our largest single family residential construction mortgage loan commitment was for $2.3 million, $1.5 million of which had been disbursed. This loan was performing according to its terms. The average outstanding construction loan balance totaled $800,000 on December 31, 2005. The longer term portions of construction loans to individuals are generally made on the same terms as our one- to four-family mortgage loans.
     Before making a commitment to fund a residential construction loan, we require an appraisal of the property by an independent licensed appraiser. We also review and inspect each property before disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan. Loan proceeds are disbursed after inspection based on the percentage of completion method.

Table of Contents

     Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than longer-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost is inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value is inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, with a value that is insufficient to assure full payment.
     Wauwatosa Savings also extends loans to residential subdivision developers for the purpose of land acquisition, the development of infrastructure and the construction of homes. Advances are determined as a percentage of cost or appraised value (whichever is less) and the project is physically inspected prior to each advance. As of December 31, 2005 the single largest commitment on a single residential subdivision totaled $8.0 million.
     Commercial Real Estate Loans. We originate commercial real estate loans as a limited portion of total annual loan production. Commercial loans originated during the six months ended December 31, 2005 totaled $2.7 million or 0.9% of all mortgage loans originated. Commercial real estate loans totaled $34.5 million at December 31, 2005, or 2.5% of total loans, and are made up of loans secured by office and retail buildings, churches, restaurants, other retail properties and mixed use properties. These loans are generally located in our primary market area. Commercial real estate underwriting policies provide that typically such real estate loans may be made in amounts of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property. Commercial real estate loans may be made with terms including up to 30-year amortization schedules and are offered with interest rates that are fixed up to five years or are variable and adjust at our discretion. In reaching a decision on whether to make a commercial real estate loan, we consider gross revenues and the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise, business cash flow and credit history, and the appraised value of the underlying property. In addition, we will also consider the terms and conditions of the leases and the credit quality of the tenants. We generally require that the properties securing these real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization divided by interest expense and current maturities of long term debt) of at least 1.15 times. Environmental surveys are required for commercial real estate loans when environmental risks are identified. Generally, commercial real estate loans made to corporations, partnerships and other business entities require personal guarantees by the principals and owners of 20% or more of the entity.
     A commercial borrower’s financial information is monitored on an ongoing basis by requiring periodic financial statement updates, payment history reviews and periodic face-to-face meetings with the borrower. We generally require borrowers with aggregate outstanding balances exceeding $1 million to provide annually updated financial statements and federal tax returns. These requirements also apply to all guarantors on these loans. We also require borrowers to provide an annual report of income and expenses for the property, including a tenant list and copies of leases, as applicable. The largest commercial real estate loan in our portfolio at December 31, 2005 was a $2.0 million loan for a multi-level commercial and warehouse building with an appraised value of $4.0 million located in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. This loan is performing in accordance with all loan terms. Wauwatosa Savings’ combined loan to value ratio for this mortgage loan is 49.2%.

     Origination, Purchasing and Servicing of Loans. All loans originated by us are underwritten pursuant to our policies and procedures. While we generally underwrite loans to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae standards, due to several unique characteristics, a majority of our loans do not conform to the secondary market standards. The unique features include: interest payments in advance, discretionary rate adjustments, pre-payment penalties, and the historically lower periodic and lifetime caps on rate adjustments. We only originate variable-rate and limited term fixed-rate loans. Our ability to originate these loans is dependent upon the relative customer demand for such loans, which is affected by the current and expected future level of interest rates.
     Generally, we retain in our portfolio all loans that we originate; however, we periodically sell mortgage loans when a loans-to-one-borrower limit is being approached. At December 31, 2005, Wauwatosa Savings was servicing loans sold in the amount of $8.1 million. Loan servicing includes collecting and remitting loan payments, accounting for principal and interest, contacting delinquent mortgagors, supervising foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of unremedied defaults, making certain insurance and tax payments on behalf of the borrowers and generally administering the loans.

     Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Wauwatosa Savings’ lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory, underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by Wauwatosa Savings’ Board of Directors. The loan approval process is intended to assess the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, the viability of the loan, and the adequacy of the value of the property that will secure the loan, if applicable. To assess the borrower’s ability to repay, we review the employment and credit history and information on the historical and projected income and expenses of borrowers.
     Effective January of 2006, loan officers are authorized to approve and close any loan that qualifies under standard Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guidelines within the following lending limits:
    Any secured 1-4 family mortgage loan up to $500,000 can be approved and closed by any loan officer, commercial real estate loan officer, the Director of Lending-Retail, or the Head of Lending.
 
    Any secured mortgage loan up to $500,000 can be approved and closed by a commercial real estate loan officer, the Director of Lending-Retail, or the Head of Lending.
 
    Any secured mortgage loan within $500,001-$2,999,999 must be approved by the Officer Loan Committee. If approved, any loan officer, commercial real estate loan officer, the Director of Lending-Retail, or the Head of Lending may close the loan.
 
    Any secured mortgage loan for $3,000,000 or greater must be approved by the Board of Directors prior to closing.
     All loans are approved or ratified by the Board of Directors.
Non-performing and Problem Assets
     A computer-generated delinquency notice is mailed monthly to all delinquent borrowers, advising them of the amount of their delinquency. When a loan becomes more than 30 days delinquent, Wauwatosa Savings sends a letter advising the borrower of the delinquency. The borrower is given 30 days to pay the delinquent payments or to contact Wauwatosa Savings to make arrangements to bring the loan current over a longer period of time. If the borrower fails to bring the loan current within 90 days from the original due date or to make arrangements to cure the delinquency over a longer period of time, the matter is referred to legal counsel and foreclosure or other collection proceedings are considered. We may consider forbearance in select cases where a temporary loss of income might result, if a reasonable plan is presented by the borrower to cure the delinquency in a reasonable period of time after his or her income resumes.
     All mortgage loans are reviewed on a regular basis, and such loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become more than 90 days delinquent. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received.

     Non-Performing Assets. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our non-performing loans and real estate owned at the dates indicated. Once a loan is 90 days delinquent or the borrower or loan collateral experiences an event that makes collectibility suspect, the loan is placed on “non-accrual” status. Our policies require six-months of continuous payments in order for the loan to be removed from non-accrual status.
     For the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 and the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the amount of interest income that would have been recognized on non-accrual loans if such loans had continued to perform in accordance with their contractual terms was $686,000, $967,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 and the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the amount of interest income that was recognized on non-accrual loans was $534,000, $732,000 and $575,000, respectively.

The amount of income that was contractually due but not recognized on non-accrual loans totaled $558,000, $407,000, $490,000, $430,000, $377,000 and $370,000 as of December 31, 2005, June 30, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001. There were no troubled debt restructurings.
     Classified Assets. Under our internal risk rating system, we currently classify loans and other assets considered to be of lesser quality as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses

present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.
     An institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is required to establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management for loans classified substandard or doubtful, as well as for other problem loans. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as “loss,” it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of the amount of the asset so classified or to charge off such amount.
     On the basis of management’s review of its assets, at December 31, 2005, we had classified $23.8 million of our assets as substandard. At December 31, 2005, there were no assets classified as either doubtful or as a loss. Substantially all classified loans as of December 31, 2005 were also non-performing loans, except for a single over four-family construction loan secured by real estate located in Washington County with an outstanding balance of $5.4 million and a total loan commitment of $8.0 million. This loan is currently performing according to its terms.
     The loan portfolio is reviewed on a regular basis to determine whether any loans require risk classification. Not all classified assets constitute non-performing assets.
Allowance for Loan Losses
     Wauwatosa Savings establishes valuation allowances on multi-family and commercial real estate loans considered impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Wauwatosa Savings will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A valuation allowance is established for an amount equal to the impairment when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral.
     Wauwatosa Savings also establishes valuation allowances based on an evaluation of the various risk components that are inherent in the loan portfolio. The risk components that are evaluated include past loan loss experience; the level of nonperforming and classified assets; current economic conditions; volume, growth, and composition of the loan portfolio; adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay; the estimated value of any underlying collateral; peer group comparisons; regulatory guidance; and other relevant factors. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to earnings and recoveries of previously charged-off loans and reduced by charge-offs. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed and approved quarterly by the Wauwatosa Savings board of directors. The allowance reflects management’s best estimate of the amount needed to provide for the probable loss on impaired loans and other inherent losses in the loan portfolio, and is based on a risk model developed and implemented by management and approved by the Wauwatosa Savings board of directors.

     Actual results could differ from this estimate, and future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on unforeseen changes in loan quality and economic conditions. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review Wauwatosa Savings’ allowance for loan losses. Such regulators have the authority to require Wauwatosa Savings to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their review or examination.
     Any loan that is 90 or more days delinquent is placed on non-accrual and classified as a non-performing asset. A loan is classified as impaired when it is probable that Wauwatosa Savings will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Non-performing assets are then evaluated and accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

     Each quarter, management evaluates the total balance of the allowance for loan losses based on several factors some of which are not loan specific, but are reflective of the inherent losses in the loan portfolio. This process includes, but is not limited to, a periodic review of loan collectibility in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of loan activity, conditions that may affect the ability of the borrower to repay, underlying value of collateral and economic conditions in our immediate market area. All loans meeting the criteria established by management are evaluated individually, based primarily on the value of the collateral securing the loan and ability of the borrower to repay as agreed. Specific loss allowances are established as required by this analysis. All loans for which a specific loss review is not required are segregated by loan type and a loss allowance is established by using loss experience data and management’s judgment concerning other matters it considers significant including trends in non-performing loan balances, impaired loan balances, classified asset balances and the current economic environment. The allowance is allocated to each category of loan based on the results of the above analysis. Differences between the allocated balances and recorded allowances are reflected as unallocated and are available to absorb losses resulting from the inherent imprecision involved in the loss analysis process.
     Wauwatosa Savings’ allowance for loan losses at 0.40% of loans receivable at December 31, 2005 is a relatively low total as compared to bank industry peer groups. Wauwatosa Savings’ allowance is deemed by management to be adequate at this level due to the generally lower level net charge-offs historically realized. Annualized net charge-offs for the six months ended December 31, 2005 were 0.06% of average loans outstanding. Net charge-offs for the five years ended June 30, 2005 ranged from a high of 0.09% to a low of 0.0% of average loans outstanding during the applicable period, and averaged 0.04%. Management believes the level of charge-offs reflects the stringent underwriting standards employed when originating loans, as well as on-going monitoring of the portfolio.
     The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans outstanding at period end increased from 0.38% at June 30, 2005 to 0.40% at December 31, 2005. This increase was warranted due to an increase both in classified loans and in past due loans over the six months. Classified mortgage loans increased from $11.2 million at June 30, 2005 to $20.5 million at December 31, 2005. There was one significant addition to classified loans during the six month period ended December 31, 2005, an over four-family mortgage loan secured by a complex of 12 duplexes located in the City of Milwaukee with an outstanding balance of $1.7 million. This loan was more than 90 days past due and classified as non-performing at December 31, 2005.
     This analysis process is both quantitative and subjective, as it requires us to make estimates that are susceptible to revisions as more information becomes available. Although we believe that we have established the allowance at levels to absorb probable and estimable losses, future additions may be necessary if economic or other conditions in the future differ from the current environment.
Investment Activities
     Wauwatosa Savings’ Treasurer and its Treasury Officer are responsible for implementing our Investment Policy and monitoring the investment activities of Wauwatosa Investments, Inc., our Nevada subsidiary. The Investment Policy is reviewed annually by management and any

-22-


Table of Contents

changes to the policy are recommended to and subject to the approval of our Board of Directors. Authority to make investments under the approved Investment Policy guidelines is delegated by the Board to designated employees. While general investment strategies are developed and authorized by management, the execution of specific actions rests with the Treasurer and Treasury Officer who may act jointly or severally. In addition, the President of the Wauwatosa Savings investment subsidiary has execution authority for securities transactions. The Treasurer and Treasury Officer are responsible for ensuring that the guidelines and requirements included in the Investment Policy are followed and that all securities are considered prudent for investment. The Treasurer, the Treasury Officer and the President of the Wauwatosa Savings investment subsidiary are authorized to execute investment transactions (purchases and sales) without the prior approval of the Board and within the scope of the established Investment Policy.
     Wauwatosa Investments, Inc. is Wauwatosa Savings’ investment subsidiary located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Wauwatosa Investments, Inc. manages the entire consolidated investment portfolio. At December 31, 2005, Wauwatosa Investments, Inc. also managed a net mortgage loan participation portfolio which totaled $191.9 million, or 14.8 % of Wauwatosa Savings’ consolidated net mortgage loans.
     Our Investment Policy requires that all securities transactions be conducted in a safe and sound manner. Investment decisions are based upon a thorough analysis of each security instrument to determine its quality, inherent risks, fit within our overall asset/liability management objectives, effect on our risk-based capital measurement and prospects for yield and/or appreciation.
     Consistent with our overall business and asset/liability management strategy, which focuses on sustaining adequate levels of core earnings, all securities purchased are held available-for-sale.
     U.S. Government and Agency Bonds. At December 31, 2005, our U.S. Government and Agency securities portfolio totaled $26.0 million, all of which were issued by government sponsored entities and were classified as available-for-sale. The weighted average yield on these securities was 3.65% and the weighted average remaining average life was 2.3 years at December 31, 2005. While these securities generally provide lower yields than other investments in our securities investment portfolio, we maintain these investments, to the extent appropriate, for liquidity purposes and prepayment protection.
     Mortgage-Related Securities. We purchase government sponsored enterprise mortgage- related securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. We invest in mortgage-related securities to achieve positive interest rate spreads with minimal administrative expense, and lower our credit risk.
     Mortgage-related securities are created by the pooling of mortgages and the issuance of a security with an interest rate which is less than the interest rate on the underlying mortgages. Mortgage-related securities typically represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages, although we focus our investments on mortgage-related securities backed by one- to four-family mortgages. The issuers of such securities (generally

-23-


Table of Contents

U.S. government agencies and government sponsored enterprises, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae) pool and resell the participation interests in the form of securities to investors such as Wauwatosa Savings, and guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors. Mortgage-related securities generally yield less than the loans that underlie such securities because of the cost of payment guarantees and credit enhancements. However, mortgage-related securities are usually more liquid than individual mortgage loans.
     At December 31, 2005, mortgage-related securities totaled $91.6 million, or 6.1% of assets and 7.0 % of interest earning assets, all of which were classified as available-for-sale. The mortgage-related securities portfolio had a weighted average yield of 4.7% and a weighted average remaining life of 5.5 years at December 31, 2005. The estimated fair value of our mortgage-related securities at December 31, 2005 was $91.6 million, which is $1.9 million less than the amortized cost of $93.5 million. Investments in mortgage-related securities involve a risk that actual prepayments may differ from estimated prepayments over the life of the security, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount relating to such instruments, thereby changing the net yield on such securities. There is also reinvestment risk associated with the cash flows from such securities or if such securities are redeemed by the issuer. In addition, the market value of such securities may be adversely affected in a rising interest rate environment, particularly since virtually all of our mortgage-related securities have a fixed rate of interest.
     Municipal Obligations. These securities consist of obligations issued by states, counties and municipalities or their agencies and include general obligation bonds, industrial development revenue bonds and other revenue bonds. Our Investment Policy requires that such state agency or municipal obligations be rated “A” or better by a nationally recognized rating agency. A security that is down graded below investment grade will require additional analysis of credit worthiness and a determination will be made to hold or dispose of the investment. At December 31, 2005, Wauwatosa Savings’ state agency and municipal obligations portfolio totaled $4.4 million, all of which was classified as available-for-sale. The weighted average yield on this portfolio was 4.59% at December 31, 2005, with a weighted average remaining life of 12.8 years. All municipal securities are either issued by a Wisconsin municipality or are rated AA or better by Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s.

Sources of Funds
     General. Deposits have traditionally been our primary source of funds for use in lending and investment activities. In addition to deposits, funds are derived from scheduled loan payments, investment maturities, loan prepayments, retained earnings and income on earning assets. While scheduled loan payments and income on earning assets are relatively stable sources of funds, deposit inflows and outflows can vary widely and are influenced by prevailing interest rates, market conditions and levels of competition. Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago are used to compensate for reductions in deposits and to fund loan growth.
     Deposits. A majority of our depositors are persons who work or reside in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties and, to a lesser extent, other southeastern Wisconsin communities. We offer a selection of deposit instruments, including checking, savings, money market deposit accounts, and fixed-term certificates of deposit. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance required, the amount of time the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. We also accept non-local, brokered deposits. Certificates of deposit comprised 88.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2005, and had a weighted average cost of 3.8% on that date. Our high reliance on certificates of deposit results in a higher cost of funding than would otherwise be the case if demand deposits, savings and money market accounts made up a larger part of our deposit base. Expansion and development of the Wauwatosa Savings branch network is expected to result in a decreased reliance on higher cost certificates of deposit by aggressively seeking lower cost savings, checking and money market accounts.
     Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market rates, liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors and growth goals. To attract and retain deposits, we rely upon personalized customer service, long-standing relationships and competitive interest rates.
     The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and other prevailing interest rates and competition. The variety of deposit accounts that we offer allows us to be competitive in obtaining funds and responding to changes in consumer demand. Based on historical experience, management believes our deposits are relatively stable. It is unclear whether future levels of deposits will reflect our historical, stable experience with deposit customers. The ability to attract and maintain money market accounts and certificates of deposit, and the rates paid on these deposits, has been and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions. At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, $929.7 million and $1.0 billion, or 88.9% and 88.7 %, respectively, of our deposit accounts were certificates of deposit, of which $599.6 million and $612.8 million, respectively, had maturities of one year or less. The percentage of our deposit accounts that are certificates of deposit is greater than most of our competitors.
     Deposits obtained from brokers totaled $104.7, $126.3 million and $127.9 million at December 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Brokered deposits are utilized when their relative cost compares favorably to the cost of local deposits. This is generally the case in a declining interest rate environment as local market deposit rates lag the national market.

Brokered deposits are also used when it is necessary as a result of higher than expected loan growth or other short-term liquidity needs to obtain significant additional funding over a period of weeks rather than months. Internal policy currently limits the use of brokered deposits to no more than 20% of total deposits. Brokered deposits at December 31, 2005 were 10.0% of total deposits and have not exceeded 13.9 % of total deposits during the past three years.

Supervision and Regulation
     The following discussion is only a summary of the main regulations imposed upon Wauwatosa Savings, Wauwatosa Holdings, and Lamplighter Financial, MHC. It is not intended to be a comprehensive description of all regulations and supervision applicable to those entities and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations.
Regulation of Wauwatosa Savings Bank
     Wauwatosa Savings is a stock savings bank organized under the laws of the state of Wisconsin. The lending, investment, and other business operations of Wauwatosa Savings are governed by Wisconsin law and regulations, as well as applicable federal law and regulations, and Wauwatosa Savings is prohibited from engaging in any operations not specifically authorized by such laws and regulations. Wauwatosa Savings is subject to extensive regulation by the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banking (“WDFI”), by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), as its deposit insurer and principal federal regulator, and by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”). Wauwatosa Savings’ deposit accounts are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC under the Savings Association Insurance Fund (“SAIF”). A summary of the main laws and regulations that govern the operations of Wauwatosa Savings are set forth below.
   Intrastate and Interstate Merger and Branching Activities
     Wisconsin Law and Regulation. Any Wisconsin savings bank meeting certain requirements may, upon approval of the WDFI, establish one or more branch offices in the state of Wisconsin or the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, and Ohio. In addition, upon WDFI approval, a Wisconsin savings bank may establish a branch office in any other state as the result of a merger or consolidation.
     Federal Law and Regulation. Beginning June 1, 1997, the Interstate Banking Act (the “IBA”) permitted the federal banking agencies to, under certain circumstances, approve acquisition transactions between banks located in different states, regardless of whether the acquisition would be prohibited under the law of the two states. The IBA also permitted a state to “opt in” to the provisions of the IBA before June 1, 1997, and permitted a state to “opt out” of the provisions of the IBA by adopting appropriate legislation before that date. The IBA also authorizes de novo branching into another state if the host state enacts a law expressly permitting out of state banks to establish such branches within its borders.
   Loans and Investments
     Wisconsin Law and Regulations. Under Wisconsin law and regulations, Wauwatosa Savings is authorized to make, invest in, sell, purchase, participate or otherwise deal in mortgage loans or interests in mortgage loans without geographic restriction, including loans made on the security of residential and commercial property. Wisconsin savings banks also may lend funds

-32-


Table of Contents

on a secured or unsecured basis for business, corporate commercial or agricultural purposes, provided the total of all such loans does not exceed 10% of Wauwatosa Savings’ total assets, unless the WDFI authorizes a greater amount. Loans are subject to certain other limitations, including percentage restrictions based on Wauwatosa Savings’ total assets.
     Wisconsin savings banks may invest funds in certain types of debt and equity securities, including obligations of federal, state and local governments and agencies. Subject to prior approval of the WDFI, compliance with capital requirements and certain other restrictions, Wisconsin savings banks may invest in residential housing development projects. Wisconsin savings banks may also invest in service corporations or subsidiaries with the prior approval of the WDFI, subject to certain restrictions.
     Wisconsin savings banks may make loans and extensions of credit, both direct and indirect, to one borrower in amounts up to 15% of Wauwatosa Savings’ capital plus an additional 10% for loans fully secured by readily marketable collateral. In addition, Wisconsin savings banks may make loans to one borrower for any purpose in an amount not to exceed $500,000, or to develop domestic residential housing units in an amount not to exceed the lesser of $30 million or 30% of Wauwatosa Savings’ capital, subject to certain conditions. At December 31, 2005, Wauwatosa Savings did not have any loans which exceeded the loans-to-one borrower limitations.
     Finally, under Wisconsin law, Wauwatosa Savings must qualify for and maintain a level of qualified thrift investments equal to 60% of its assets as prescribed in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A Wisconsin savings bank that fails to meet the qualified thrift lender test becomes subject to certain operating restrictions otherwise applicable only to commercial banks. At December 31, 2005, Wauwatosa Savings maintained 84.4% of its assets in qualified thrift investments and therefore met the qualified thrift lender requirement.
     Federal Law and Regulation. FDIC regulations also govern the equity investments of Wauwatosa Savings, and, notwithstanding Wisconsin law and regulations, the FDIC regulations prohibit Wauwatosa Savings from making certain equity investments and generally limit Wauwatosa Savings’ equity investments to those that are permissible for federally-chartered banks and their subsidiaries. Under FDIC regulations, Wauwatosa Savings must obtain prior FDIC approval before directly, or indirectly through a majority-owned subsidiary, engaging “as principal” in any activity that is not permissible for a federally-chartered bank unless certain exceptions apply. The activity regulations provide that state banks which meet applicable minimum capital requirements would be permitted to engage in certain activities that are not permissible for national banks, including guaranteeing obligations of others, activities which the FRB has found to be closely related to banking, and certain real estate and securities activities conducted through subsidiaries. The FDIC will not approve an activity that it determines presents a significant risk to the FDIC insurance funds. The activities of Wauwatosa Savings and its subsidiary are permissible under applicable federal regulations.
     Loans to, and other transactions with, affiliates of Wauwatosa Savings, Wauwatosa Holdings, or Lamplighter Financial, MHC are also restricted by the Federal Reserve Act and regulations issued by the FRB thereunder. See “Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders” below.

     Lending Standards
          Wisconsin Law and Regulation. Wisconsin law and regulations issued by the WDFI impose upon Wisconsin savings banks certain fairness in lending requirements and prohibit savings banks from discriminating against a loan applicant based upon the applicant’s physical condition, developmental disability, sex, marital status, race, color, creed, national origin, religion or ancestry.
          Federal Law and Regulation. The federal banking agencies adopted uniform regulations prescribing standards for extensions of credit that are secured by liens on interests in real estate or made for the purpose of financing the construction of a building or other improvements to real estate. Under the joint regulations adopted by the federal banking agencies, all insured depository institutions, including Wauwatosa Savings, must adopt and maintain written policies that establish appropriate limits and standards for extensions of credit that are secured by liens or interests in real estate or are made for the purpose of financing permanent improvements to real estate. These policies must establish loan portfolio diversification standards, prudent underwriting standards (including loan-to-value limits) that are clear and measurable, loan administration procedures, and documentation, approval and reporting requirements. The real estate lending policies must reflect consideration of the Interagency Guidelines for Real Estate Lending Policies that have been adopted by the federal bank regulators.
          The Interagency Guidelines, among other things, require a depository institution to establish internal loan-to-value limits for real estate loans that are not in excess of the following supervisory limits:
    for loans secured by raw land, the supervisory loan-to-value limit is 65% of the value of the collateral;
 
    for land development loans (i.e., loans for the purpose of improving unimproved property prior to the erection of structures), the supervisory limit is 75%;
 
    for loans for the construction of commercial, over four-family or other non-residential property, the supervisory limit is 80%;
 
    for loans for the construction of one- to four-family properties, the supervisory limit is 85%; and
 
    for loans secured by other improved property (e.g., farmland, completed commercial property and other income-producing property, including non-owner occupied, one- to four-family property), the limit is 85%.
          Although no supervisory loan-to-value limit has been established for owner-occupied, one- to four-family and home equity loans, the Interagency Guidelines state that for any such loan with a loan-to-value ratio that equals or exceeds 90% at origination, an institution should require appropriate credit enhancement in the form of either mortgage insurance or readily marketable collateral.

     Deposits
          Wisconsin Law and Regulation. Under Wisconsin law, Wauwatosa Savings is permitted to establish deposit accounts and accept deposits. Wauwatosa Savings’ board of directors determines the rate and amount of interest to be paid on or credited to deposit accounts.
          Federal Law and Regulation. FDIC regulations govern the ability of Wauwatosa Savings to accept brokered deposits. Under applicable regulations, the capital position of an institution determines whether and with what limitations an institution may accept brokered deposits. A “well-capitalized” institution (one that significantly exceeds specified capital ratios) may accept brokered deposits without restriction. “Undercapitalized” institutions (those that fail to meet minimum regulatory capital requirements) may not accept brokered deposits and “adequately capitalized” institutions (those that are not “well-capitalized” or “undercapitalized”) may only accept such deposits with the consent of the FDIC. Wauwatosa Savings is a “well-capitalized” institution and therefore may accept brokered deposits without restriction. At December 31, 2005, Wauwatosa Savings had $104.7 million in brokered deposits.
     Deposit Insurance
          Wisconsin Law and Regulation. Under Wisconsin law, Wauwatosa Savings is required to obtain and maintain insurance on its deposits from a deposit insurance corporation. The deposits of Wauwatosa Savings are insured up to the applicable limits by the FDIC.
          Federal Law and Regulation. The deposit accounts held by customers of Wauwatosa Savings are insured by the SAIF to a maximum of $100,000 as permitted by law; provided, however, that as of April 1, 2006, certain retirement accounts will be increased up to $250,000. Insurance on deposits may be terminated by the FDIC if it finds that Wauwatosa Savings has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC as Wauwatosa Savings’ primary regulator. The management of Wauwatosa Savings does not know of any practice, condition, or violation that might lead to termination of Wauwatosa Savings’ deposit insurance.
          Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”), the FDIC established a system for setting deposit insurance premiums based upon the risks a particular bank or savings association posed to its deposit insurance funds. Under the risk-based deposit insurance assessment system, the FDIC assigns an institution to one of three capital categories based on the institution’s financial information, as of the reporting period ending six months before the assessment period. The three capital categories are (1) well capitalized, (2) adequately capitalized and (3) undercapitalized. The FDIC also assigns an institution to one of three supervisory subcategories within each capital group. With respect to the capital ratios, institutions are classified as well capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized using ratios that are substantially similar to the prompt corrective action capital ratios discussed below. The FDIC also assigns an institution to a supervisory subgroup based on a supervisory evaluation provided to the FDIC by the institution’s primary federal regulator and information that the FDIC determines to be relevant to the institution’s financial condition and the risk posed to the deposit insurance funds (which may include, if applicable, information

-35-


Table of Contents

provided by the institution’s state supervisor).
          An institution’s assessment rate depends on the capital category and supervisory category to which it is assigned. Under the final risk-based assessment system, there are nine assessment risk classifications (i.e., combinations of capital groups and supervisory subgroups) to which different assessment rates are applied. Assessment rates for deposit insurance currently range from 0 basis points to 27 basis points. The capital and supervisory subgroup to which an institution is assigned by the FDIC is confidential and may not be disclosed. A bank’s rate of deposit insurance assessments will depend upon the category and subcategory to which the bank is assigned by the FDIC. Any increase in insurance assessments could have an adverse effect on the earnings of insured institutions, including Wauwatosa Savings.
     Capitalization
          Wisconsin Law and Regulation. Wisconsin savings banks are required to maintain a minimum capital to assets ratio of 6% and must maintain total capital necessary to ensure the continuation of insurance of deposit accounts by the FDIC. If the WDFI determines that the financial condition, history, management or earning prospects of a savings bank are not adequate, the WDFI may require a higher minimum capital level for the savings bank. If a Wisconsin savings bank’s capital ratio falls below the required level, the WDFI may direct the savings bank to adhere to a specific written plan established by the WDFI to correct the savings bank’s capital deficiency, as well as a number of other restrictions on the savings bank’s operations, including a prohibition on the declaration of dividends. At December 31, 2005, Wauwatosa Savings’ capital to assets ratio, as calculated under Wisconsin law, was 12.08%.
          Federal Law and Regulation. Under FDIC regulations, federally insured state-chartered banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System (“state non-member banks”), such as Wauwatosa Savings, are required to comply with minimum leverage capital requirements. For an institution determined by the FDIC to not be anticipating or experiencing significant growth and to be, in general, a strong banking organization, rated composite 1 under the Uniform Financial Institutions Ranking System established by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, the minimum capital leverage requirement is a ratio of Tier I capital to total assets of 3%. For all other institutions, the minimum leverage capital ratio is not less than 4%. Tier I capital is the sum of common shareholders’ equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock (including any related surplus) and minority investments in certain subsidiaries, less intangible assets (except for certain servicing rights and credit card relationships) and certain other specified items.
          The FDIC regulations require state non-member banks to maintain certain levels of regulatory capital in relation to regulatory risk-weighted assets. The ratio of regulatory capital to regulatory risk-weighted assets is referred to as a bank’s “risk-based capital ratio.” Risk-based capital ratios are determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet items (including recourse obligations, direct credit substitutes and residual interests) to four risk-weighted categories ranging from 0% to 100%, with higher levels of capital being required for the categories perceived as representing greater risk. For example, under the FDIC’s risk-weighting system, cash and securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government are given a 0% risk weight, loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties generally have a 50%

-36-


Table of Contents

risk weight, and commercial loans have a risk weighting of 100%.
          State non-member banks, such as Wauwatosa Savings, must maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8%, of which at least one-half must be Tier I capital. Total capital consists of Tier I capital plus Tier 2 or supplementary capital items, which include allowances for loan losses in an amount of up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, cumulative preferred stock and certain other capital instruments, and a portion of the net unrealized gain on equity securities. The includable amount of Tier 2 capital cannot exceed the amount of the institution’s Tier I capital. Banks that engage in specified levels of trading activities are subject to adjustments in their risk based capital calculation to ensure the maintenance of sufficient capital to support market risk.
          The FDICIA requires each federal banking agency to revise its risk-based capital standards for insured institutions to ensure that those standards take adequate account of interest-rate risk, concentration of credit risk, and the risk of nontraditional activities, as well as to reflect the actual performance and expected risk of loss on multi-family residential loans. The FDIC, along with the other federal banking agencies, has adopted a regulation providing that the agencies will take into account the exposure of a bank’s capital and economic value to changes in interest rate risk in assessing a bank’s capital adequacy. The FDIC also has authority to establish individual minimum capital requirements in appropriate cases upon determination that an institution’s capital level is, or is likely to become, inadequate in light of the particular circumstances.
          As a bank holding company, Wauwatosa Holdings is subject to capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies similar to those of the FDIC for state-chartered banks. Wauwatosa Holding’s shareholders’ equity exceeds these requirements as of December 31, 2005.
     Safety and Soundness Standards
          Each federal banking agency, including the FDIC, has adopted guidelines establishing general standards relating to internal controls, information and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings and compensation, fees and benefits. In general, the guidelines require, among other things, appropriate systems and practices to identify and manage the risks and exposures specified in the guidelines. The guidelines prohibit excessive compensation as an unsafe and unsound practice and describe compensation as excessive when the amounts paid are unreasonable or disproportionate to the services performed by an executive officer, employee, director, or principal shareholder.
     Prompt Corrective Action
          FDICIA also established a system of prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized insured institutions. The FDIC has regulations governing the supervisory actions that may be taken against undercapitalized institutions. These regulations establish and define five capital categories, in the absence of a specific capital directive, as follows:

Table of Contents

                         
            Tier 1    
    Total Capital to   Capital to   Tier 1 Capital
Category   Risk Weighted Assets   Risk Weighted Assets   to Total Assets
     
Well capitalized
    ³10 %     ³6 %     ³5 %
Adequately capitalized
    ³ 8 %     ³4 %     ³4 %*
Under capitalized
    < 8 %     <4 %     <4 %*
Significantly undercapitalized
    < 6 %     <3 %     <3 %
Critically undercapitalized
  Tangible assets to capital of < 2%                
 
*   3% if the bank receives the highest rating under the uniform system
          The severity of the action authorized or required to be taken under the prompt corrective action regulations increases as a bank’s capital decreases within the three undercapitalized categories. All savings associations are prohibited from paying dividends or other capital distributions or paying management fees to any controlling person if, following such distribution, the association would be undercapitalized. The FDIC is required to monitor closely the condition of an undercapitalized bank and to restrict the growth of its assets. An undercapitalized savings association is required to file a capital restoration plan within 45 days of the date the association receives notice that it is within any of the three undercapitalized categories, and the plan must be guaranteed by any parent holding company. The aggregate liability of a parent holding company is limited to the lesser of:
    an amount equal to five percent of the bank’s total assets at the time it became “undercapitalized”; and
 
    the amount that is necessary (or would have been necessary) to bring the bank into compliance with all capital standards applicable with respect to such bank as of the time it fails to comply with the plan.
          Failure to submit an acceptable plan is treated as if the bank were “significantly undercapitalized.” Banks that are significantly or critically undercapitalized are subject to a wider range of regulatory requirements and restrictions.
          The FDIC has a broad range of grounds under which it may appoint a receiver or conservator for an insured bank. If one or more grounds exist for appointing a conservator or receiver, the FDIC may require the bank to issue additional debt or stock, sell assets, be acquired by a depository bank or bank holding company or combine with another depository savings bank. Under FDICIA, the FDIC is required to appoint a receiver or a conservator for a critically undercapitalized savings bank within 90 days after the association becomes critically undercapitalized or to take such other action that would better achieve the purposes of the prompt corrective action provisions. Such alternative action can be renewed for successive 90-day periods. However, if the savings bank continues to be critically undercapitalized on average during the quarter that begins 270 days after it first became critically undercapitalized, a receiver must be appointed, unless the FDIC makes certain findings that the bank is viable.

     Dividends
          Under Wisconsin law and applicable regulations, a Wisconsin savings bank that meets its regulatory capital requirement may declare dividends on capital stock based upon net profits, provided that its paid-in surplus equals its capital stock. If the paid-in surplus of the savings bank does not equal its capital stock, the board of directors may not declare a dividend unless at least 10% of the net profits of the preceding half year, in the case of quarterly or semi-annual dividends, or 10% of the net profits of the preceding year, in the case of annual dividends, has been transferred to paid-in surplus. In addition, prior WDFI approval is required before dividends exceeding 50% of profits for any calendar year may be declared and before a dividend may be declared out of retained earnings. Under WDFI regulations, a Wisconsin savings bank which has converted from mutual to stock form also is prohibited from paying a dividend on its capital stock if the payment causes the regulatory capital of the savings bank to fall below the amount required for its liquidation account
     Liquidity and Reserves
          Wisconsin Law and Regulation. Under WDFI regulations, all Wisconsin savings banks are required to maintain a certain amount of their assets as liquid assets, consisting of cash and certain types of investments. The exact amount of assets a savings bank is required to maintain as liquid assets is set by the WDFI, but generally ranges from 4% to 15% of the saving bank’s average daily balance of net withdrawable accounts plus short-term borrowings (the “Required Liquidity Ratio”). At December 31, 2005, Wauwatosa Savings’ Required Liquidity Ratio was 8.0%, and Wauwatosa Savings was in compliance with this requirement. In addition, 50% of the liquid assets maintained by Wisconsin savings banks must consist of “primary liquid assets”, which are defined to include securities of the United States government and United States government agencies. At December 31, 2005, Wauwatosa Savings was in compliance with this requirement.
          Federal Law and Regulation. Under federal law and regulations, Wauwatosa Savings is required to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure safe and sound banking practices. Regulation D, promulgated by the FRB, imposes reserve requirements on all depository institutions, including Wauwatosa Savings, which maintain transaction accounts or non-personal time deposits. Checking accounts, NOW accounts, Super NOW checking accounts, and certain other types of accounts that permit payments or transfers to third parties fall within the definition of transaction accounts and are subject to Regulation D reserve requirements, as are any non-personal time deposits (including certain money market deposit accounts) at a savings institution. For 2005, a depository institution was required to maintain average daily reserves equal to 3% on the first $47.6 million of transaction accounts and an initial reserve of $1.2 million, plus 10% of that portion of total transaction accounts in excess of $47.6 million. The first $7.0 million of otherwise reservable balances (subject to adjustment by the FRB) are exempt from the reserve requirements. These percentages and threshold limits are subject to adjustment by the FRB. Savings institutions have authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve System “discount window,” but Federal Reserve System policy generally requires savings institutions to exhaust all other sources before borrowing from the Federal Reserve System. As of December 31, 2005, Wauwatosa Savings met its Regulation D reserve requirements.

     Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders
          Wisconsin Law and Regulation. Under Wisconsin law, Wauwatosa Savings may not make a loan to a person owning 10% or more of its stock, an affiliated person, agent, or attorney of the savings bank, either individually or as an agent or partner of another, except as approved by the WDFI and regulations of the FDIC. In addition, unless the prior approval of the WDFI is obtained, Wauwatosa Savings may not purchase, lease or acquire a site for an office building or an interest in real estate from an affiliated person, including a shareholder owning more than 10% of its capital stock, or from any firm, corporation, entity or family in which an affiliated person or 10% shareholder has a direct or indirect interest.
          Federal Law and Regulation. Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act govern transactions between an insured savings bank, such as Wauwatosa Savings, and any of its affiliates, including Wauwatosa Holdings. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted Regulation W, which comprehensively implements and interprets Sections 23A and 23B, in part by codifying prior Federal Reserve Board interpretations under Sections 23A and 23B.
          An affiliate of a bank is any company or entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the bank. A subsidiary of a bank that is not also a depository institution or a “financial subsidiary” under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act is not treated as an affiliate of the bank for the purposes of Sections 23A and 23B; however, the FDIC has the discretion to treat subsidiaries of a bank as affiliates on a case-by-case basis. Sections 23A and 23B limit the extent to which a bank or its subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such bank’s capital stock and surplus, and limit all such transactions with all affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such capital stock and surplus. The statutory sections also require that all such transactions be on terms that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices. The term “covered transaction” includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of guarantees and other similar types of transactions. Further, most loans by a bank to any of its affiliates must be secured by collateral in amounts ranging from 100 to 130 percent of the loan amounts. In addition, any covered transaction by an association with an affiliate and any purchase of assets or services by an association from an affiliate must be on terms that are substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the bank as those that would be provided to a non-affiliate.
          A savings bank’s loans to its executive officers, directors, any owner of more than 10% of its stock (each, an insider) and any of certain entities affiliated with any such person (an insider’s related interest) are subject to the conditions and limitations imposed by Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation O thereunder. Under these restrictions, the aggregate amount of the loans to any insider and the insider’s related interests may not exceed the loans-to-one-borrower limit applicable to national banks, which is comparable to the loans-to-one-borrower limit applicable to Wauwatosa Savings’ loans. All loans by a savings bank to all insiders and insiders’ related interests in the aggregate may not exceed the bank’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. With certain exceptions, loans to an executive officer, other than loans for the education of the officer’s children and certain loans secured by the officer’s residence, may not exceed the greater of $25,000 or 2.5% of the savings bank’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus, but in no event more than $100,000. Regulation O also requires that any proposed loan to an insider or a related interest of that insider

-40-


Table of Contents

be approved in advance by a majority of the board of directors of the savings bank, with any interested director not participating in the voting, if such loan, when aggregated with any existing loans to that insider and the insider’s related interests, would exceed either $500,000 or the greater of $25,000 or 5% of the savings bank’s unimpaired capital and surplus. Generally, such loans must be made on substantially the same terms as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are no less stringent than, those that are prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and must not present more than a normal risk of collectibility.
          An exception is made for extensions of credit made pursuant to a benefit or compensation plan of a bank that is widely available to employees of the savings bank and that does not give any preference to insiders of the bank over other employees of the bank.
     Transactions between Bank Customers and Affiliates
          Under Wisconsin and federal laws and regulations, Wisconsin savings banks, such as Wauwatosa Savings, are subject to the prohibitions on certain tying arrangements. A savings bank is prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from extending credit to or offering any other service to a customer, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that such customer obtain some additional service from the institution or certain of its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution.
     Examinations and Assessments
          Wauwatosa Savings is required to file periodic reports with and is subject to periodic examinations by the WDFI and FDIC. Federal regulations require annual on-site examinations for all depository institutions except those well-capitalized institutions with assets of less than $100 million; annual audits by independent public accountants for all insured institutions with assets in excess of $1 billion; the formation of independent audit committees of the boards of directors of insured depository institutions for institutions with assets equal to or in excess of $500 million; and management of depository institutions to prepare certain financial reports annually and to establish internal compliance procedures. Wauwatosa Savings is required to pay examination fees and annual assessments to fund its supervision. Wauwatosa Savings paid an aggregate of $59,000 in assessments for the calendar year ending December 31, 2005.
     Customer Privacy
          Under Wisconsin and federal law and regulations, savings banks, such as Wauwatosa Savings, are required to develop and maintain privacy policies relating to information on its customers, restrict access to and establish procedures to protect customer data. Applicable privacy regulations further restrict the sharing of non-public customer data with non-affiliated parties if the customer requests.
     Community Reinvestment Act
          Under the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”), any insured depository institution, including Wauwatosa Savings, has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with its safe and sound operation to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements

-41-


Table of Contents

or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community. The CRA requires the FDIC, in connection with its examination of a savings association, to assess the financial institution’s record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain applications by such institution, including applications for additional branches and acquisitions.
          Among other things, the CRA regulations contain an evaluation system that would rate an institution based on its actual performance in meeting community needs. In particular, the evaluation system focuses on three tests:
    a lending test, to evaluate the institution’s record of making loans in its service areas;
 
    an investment test, to evaluate the institution’s record of investing in community development projects, affordable housing, and programs benefiting low or moderate income individuals and businesses; and
 
    a service test, to evaluate the institution’s delivery of services through its branches, ATMs and other offices.
          The CRA requires the FDIC, in the case of Wauwatosa Savings, to provide a written evaluation of an institution’s CRA performance utilizing a four-tiered descriptive rating system and requires public disclosure of an institution’s CRA rating. Wauwatosa Savings received at least “satisfactory” overall ratings in it most recent CRA examinations.
     Federal Home Loan Bank System
          The Federal Home Loan Bank System, consisting of twelve FHLBs, is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Housing Finance Board (“FHFB”). The designated duties of the FHFB are to supervise the FHLBs; ensure that the FHLBs carry out their housing finance mission; ensure that the FHLBs remain adequately capitalized and able to raise funds in the capital markets; and ensure that the FHLBs operate in a safe and sound manner.
          Wauwatosa Savings, as a member of the FHLB-Chicago, is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB-Chicago in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or (ii) 0.3% of total assets. Wauwatosa Savings is in compliance with this requirement with an investment in FHLB-Chicago stock of $14.4 million at December 31, 2005.
          Among other benefits, the FHLBs provide a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures established by the FHFB and the Board of Directors of the FHLB-Chicago. At December 31, 2005, Wauwatosa Savings had $201.2 million in advances from the FHLB-Chicago.

     USA PATRIOT Act
          In response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Congress adopted the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, or the USA PATRIOT Act. The USA PATRIOT Act gives the federal government new powers to address terrorist threats through enhanced domestic security measures, expanded surveillance powers, increased information sharing, and broadened anti-money laundering requirements. By means of amendments to the Bank Secrecy Act, Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act takes measures intended to encourage information sharing among bank regulatory agencies and law enforcement bodies. Further, certain provisions of Title III impose affirmative obligations on a broad range of financial institutions, including banks and savings associations.
          Among other requirements, Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act imposes the following requirements with respect to financial institutions:
    All financial institutions must establish anti-money laundering programs that include, at minimum; (a) internal policies, procedures, and controls; (b) specific designation of an anti-money laundering compliance officer; (c) ongoing employee training programs, and (d) an independent audit function to test the anti-money laundering program.
 
    The Secretary of the Treasury, in conjunction with other bank regulators, may issue regulations that provide for minimum standards with respect to customer identification at the time new accounts are opened.
 
    Financial institutions that establish, maintain, or manage private banking accounts or correspondent accounts in the United States for non-United States persons or their representatives (including foreign individuals visiting the United States) must establish appropriate, specific, and, where necessary, enhanced due diligence policies, procedures, and controls designed to detect and report money laundering.
 
    Financial institutions are prohibited from establishing, maintaining, administering or managing correspondent accounts for foreign shell banks (foreign banks that do not have a physical presence in any country), and will be subject to certain recordkeeping obligations with respect to correspondent accounts of foreign banks.
 
    Bank regulators are directed to consider a holding company’s effectiveness in combating money laundering when ruling on Federal Reserve Act and Bank merger act applications.

Regulation of Wauwatosa Holdings
     Holding Company Regulation
     Wisconsin Law and Regulation. Any company that owns or controls, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the voting securities of a state savings bank is subject to regulation as a savings bank holding company by the WDFI. Wauwatosa Holdings is subject to regulation as a savings bank holding company under Wisconsin law. However, the WDFI has not yet issued specific regulations governing savings bank holding companies.
     Federal Law and Regulation. Wauwatosa Holdings is registered and regulated as a bank holding company pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). As such, Wauwatosa Holdings is subject to examination, regulation and periodic reporting under the BHCA, as administered by the FRB. The FRB has adopted capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies (on a consolidated basis) substantially similar to those of the FDIC for Wauwatosa Savings. Failure to meet the capital adequacy requirements may result in supervisory or enforcement action by the FRB.
     Wauwatosa Holdings is required to obtain the prior approval of the FRB to acquire all, or substantially all, of the assets of any bank or bank holding company. Prior FRB approval is also required for Wauwatosa Holdings to acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting securities of any bank or bank holding company if, after giving effect to such acquisition, it would, directly or indirectly, own or control more than 5% of any class of voting shares of such bank or bank holding company. The BHCA also prohibits the acquisition by Wauwatosa Holdings of more than 5% of the voting shares of a bank located outside the State of Wisconsin or of substantially all of the assets of such a bank, unless such an acquisition is specifically authorized by the laws of the state in which such bank is located.
     FRB regulations govern a variety of bank holding company matters, including redemption of outstanding equity securities and a bank holding company engaging in non-banking activities. Pursuant to FRB policy, dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the bank holding company appears consistent with its capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. The FRB policy also requires that a bank holding company serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary banks by standing ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to those banks during periods of financial stress or adversity. These policies could affect the ability of Wauwatosa Holdings to pay cash dividends.
     Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain quantitative and qualitative restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extension of credit to, or purchase of assets from, or letter of credit on behalf of, the bank holding company or its subsidiaries, and on the investment in or acceptance of stocks or securities of such holding company or its subsidiaries as collateral for loans. In addition, provisions of the Federal Reserve Act and FRB regulations limit the amounts of, and establish required procedures and credit standards with respect to, loans and other extensions of credit to officers, directors and principal shareholders of Wauwatosa Savings, Wauwatosa Holdings, any subsidiary of Wauwatosa Holdings and related interests of such persons. See “Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders” above. Moreover, subsidiaries of bank holding companies are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements (with Wauwatosa Holdings or any of its subsidiaries) in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services.

Table of Contents

          Wauwatosa Holdings and its subsidiary, Wauwatosa Savings, are affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of various agencies of the United States Government, including the Federal Reserve System. In view of changing conditions in the national economy and in the money markets, it is impossible for management of Wauwatosa Holdings to accurately predict future changes in monetary policy or the effect of such changes on the business or financial condition of Wauwatosa Holdings.
     Federal Securities Laws Regulation
          Securities Exchange Act. Wauwatosa Holdings common stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is therefore subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act.
          Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was adopted in response to public concerns regarding corporate accountability in connection with the accounting and corporate governance scandals at several prominent companies. The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws.
          The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is the most far-reaching U.S. securities legislation enacted in some time. It applies to all public companies, including Wauwatosa Holdings, that file periodic reports with the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act.
          The Sarbanes-Oxley Act includes very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules, requires the SEC and national securities exchanges and associations to adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related rules and mandates further studies of certain issues by the SEC, and increases penalties for violation. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees.
          The Sarbanes-Oxley Act addresses, among other matters:
    audit committees and auditor independence;
 
    certification of financial statements by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer;
 
    the forfeiture of bonuses or other incentive-based compensation and profits from the sale of an issuer’s securities if the issuer’s financial statements later require restatement;
 
    a prohibition on insider trading during retirement plan black-out periods;
 
    further disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions;

-45-


Table of Contents

    a prohibition on many personal loans to directors and officers (with exceptions for financial institutions);
 
    expedited filing requirements for reporting of insiders’ transactions; and
 
    disclosure of a code of ethics and disclosure of a change or waiver of such code.
          Because some FDIC accounting and governance regulations also refer to the SEC’s regulations, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act also may affect Wauwatosa Savings.
Regulation of Lamplighter Financial, MHC
     Bank Holding Company Regulation
          Wisconsin Law and Regulation. Because Lamplighter Financial, MHC indirectly controls more than 25% of the stock of Wauwatosa Savings, Lamplighter Financial, MHC is subject to regulation under Wisconsin law as a savings bank holding company just as Wauwatosa Holdings. For a discussion of the savings bank holding company regulations that apply to Lamplighter Financial, MHC, see “Regulation of Wauwatosa Holdings—Holding Company Regulation” above.
          Federal Law and Regulation. Because Lamplighter Financial, MHC indirectly controls Wauwatosa Savings within the meaning of the BHCA, Lamplighter Financial, MHC is subject to regulation under the BHCA as a bank holding company just as Wauwatosa Holdings. For a discussion of the bank holding company regulations that apply to Lamplighter Financial, MHC, see “Regulation of Wauwatosa Holdings—Holding Company Regulation” above.
     Mutual Holding Company Regulation
          In addition to the savings bank holding company regulation imposed by Wisconsin law upon Lamplighter Financial, MHC, Lamplighter Financial, MHC is also subject to regulation under Wisconsin law as a mutual holding company.
          Membership. A person owning a deposit account (except for negotiable certificates of deposit not in registered form) in a Wisconsin savings bank that is a subsidiary of a mutual holding company has membership rights in the mutual holding company. A member of a mutual holding company has one vote for each $100 or fraction of $100 of the combined withdrawal value of the member’s deposit accounts in a subsidiary savings bank of the mutual holding company.
          Permitted Activities. Wisconsin mutual holding companies are only permitted to engage in activities set forth in the applicable regulations or that are otherwise approved by the WDFI. Generally, a Wisconsin mutual holding company is only permitted to acquire savings banks or other bank holding companies and engage in activities that are approved by the WDFI for Wisconsin savings banks or activities approved by the FRB for bank holding companies.
          Examinations and Assessments. Under the applicable regulations, Lamplighter Financial, MHC is required to register with the WDFI as a mutual holding company and is required to file

periodic reports with the WDFI. In addition, Lamplighter Financial, MHC is subject to examination by the WDFI and must pay assessments.
Federal and State Taxation
     Federal Taxation
          General. Wauwatosa Holdings and subsidiaries and Lamplighter Financial, MHC are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. Wauwatosa Holdings and subsidiaries constitute an affiliated group of corporations and, therefore, are be eligible to report their income on a consolidated basis. Because Lamplighter Financial, MHC owns less than 80% of the common stock of Wauwatosa Holdings, it is not a member of that affiliated group and will report its income on a separate return. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize certain pertinent federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to Lamplighter Financial, MHC, Wauwatosa Holdings or Wauwatosa Savings.
          Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, Wauwatosa Holdings currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a tax year ending December 31 for filing its federal income tax returns.
          Bad Debt Reserves. Prior to the Small Business Protection Act of 1996 (the “1996 Act”), Wauwatosa Savings was permitted to establish a reserve for bad debts and to make annual additions to the reserve. These additions could, within specified formula limits, be deducted in arriving at our taxable income. As a result of the 1996 Act, Wauwatosa Savings was required to use the specific charge off method in computing its bad debt deduction beginning with its 1996 federal tax return. Savings institutions were required to recapture any excess reserves over those established as of December 31, 1987 (base year reserve). At December 31, 2005, Wauwatosa Savings had no reserves subject to recapture in excess of its base year.
          Taxable Distributions and Recapture. Prior to the 1996 Act, bad debt reserves created prior to January 1, 1988 were subject to recapture into taxable income if Wauwatosa Savings failed to meet certain thrift asset and definitional tests. Federal legislation has eliminated these thrift-related recapture rules. At December 31, 2005, our total federal pre-1988 base year reserve was approximately $16.7 million. However, under current law, pre-1988 base year reserves remain subject to recapture if Wauwatosa Savings makes certain non-dividend distributions, repurchases any of its stock, pays dividends in excess of tax earnings and profits, or ceases to maintain a bank charter.
          Alternative Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), imposes an alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences which we refer to as “alternative minimum taxable income.” The AMT is payable to the extent such alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of an exemption amount and the AMT exceeds the regular income tax. Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain AMT

-47-


Table of Contents

payments may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. Wauwatosa Savings has not been subject to the AMT and has no such amounts available as credits for carryover.
          Net Operating Loss Carryovers. A financial institution may carry back net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. At December 31, 2005, Wauwatosa Savings had no net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
          Corporate Dividends-Received Deduction. Wauwatosa Holdings may exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from Wauwatosa Savings as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations. The corporate dividends-received deduction is 80% in the case of dividends received from corporations with which a corporate recipient does not file a consolidated tax return, and corporations which own less than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend may deduct only 70% of dividends received or accrued on their behalf.
     State Taxation
          Wisconsin State Taxation. Lamplighter Financial, MHC, Wauwatosa Holdings and Wauwatosa Savings are subject to the Wisconsin corporate franchise (income) tax. Under current law, the state of Wisconsin imposes a corporate franchise tax of 7.9% on the separate taxable incomes of the members of our consolidated income tax group except our Nevada subsidiary. Presently, the income of the Nevada subsidiary is only subject to taxation in Nevada, which currently does not impose a corporate income or franchise tax. However, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Factors – Wisconsin Tax Developments Could Reduce Our Net Income” for a discussion of Wisconsin tax developments relating to these subsidiaries.
          Wauwatosa Savings is currently under state tax audit for the years 1998 through 2003. Like the majority of financial institutions located in Wisconsin, Wauwatosa Savings transferred investment securities and mortgage loan participations to a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Nevada. Wauwatosa Savings’ Nevada subsidiary now holds and manages those assets. Because the subsidiary is located in the state of Nevada, income from its operations has not been subject to Wisconsin state taxation. The investment subsidiary has not filed returns with, or paid income or franchise taxes to, the State of Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (the “Department”) implemented a program to audit Wisconsin financial institutions which have formed and contributed assets to subsidiaries located outside of Wisconsin, and the Department has generally indicated that it may assess franchise taxes on the income of the out-of-state investment subsidiaries of Wisconsin financial institutions. The Department has not issued an assessment to Wauwatosa Savings, but the Department has stated that it intends to do so if the matter is not settled.
          Prior to the formation of the investment subsidiary, Wauwatosa Savings sought and obtained private letter rulings from the Department regarding the non-taxability of the investment subsidiary in the State of Wisconsin. Wauwatosa Savings believes that it has complied in all respects with Wisconsin law and the private rulings received from the

-48-


Table of Contents

Department. Should a Wisconsin tax assessment be issued, Wauwatosa Savings intends to defend its position through the available administrative appeals process at the Department and through other judicial remedies if necessary. Although Wauwatosa Savings will oppose any such assessment, there can be no assurance that the Department will not be successful in whole or in part in its efforts to tax the income of Wauwatosa Savings’ Nevada investment subsidiary. Wauwatosa Savings has accrued an estimated state liability, including interest, of $3.6 million for the probable assessment amount on the basis of facts known at that time. A deferred Federal tax benefit of $1.2 million has also been established as a result of this accrual. Wauwatosa Savings intends to continue accruing state income taxes on future investment subsidiary earnings consistent with the accrual previously described until such time as the dispute is resolved.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
     Changing Interest Rates May Hurt Our Profits.
          Interest rates were recently at historically low levels. However, from June 30, 2004 until the date of this report, the U.S. Federal Reserve has increased its target for the federal funds rate thirteen times from 1.25% to 4.50%. If interest rates continue to rise, and if our cost of deposits and borrowings reprice upwards faster than the interest income we receive on our loans and investments, we would experience compression of our net interest margin, which would have a negative effect on our profitability. Specifically, at December 31, 2005, certificate of deposit accounts totaling $599.6 million will mature within one year. As these deposits mature, our cost of funds will increase if market interest rates are higher, resulting in a reduction in our net interest income. Increases in market rates do not affect the Wauwatosa Savings mortgage loan portfolio as quickly as they affect certificates of deposit. In a rising interest rate environment, the average lives of mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities extend, resulting in a longer period over which the lower rate is earned, thus negatively impacting net interest income. Furthermore, Wauwatosa Savings has historically not raised the rates on its adjustable rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family owner-occupied residences, even though it reserves the right to do so, thus foregoing additional net interest income.
     Wisconsin Tax Developments Could Reduce Our Net Income.
          Like many financial institutions located in Wisconsin, Wauwatosa Savings transferred investment securities and mortgage loan participations to a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Nevada. Because the subsidiary holds and manages those assets and is located in the state of Nevada, income from its operations has not been subject to Wisconsin taxation. The investment subsidiary has not filed returns with, or paid income or franchise taxes to, Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (the “Department”) recently implemented a program to audit Wisconsin financial institutions which have formed and contributed assets to subsidiaries located outside of Wisconsin, and the Department has generally indicated that it may assess franchise taxes on the income of the out-of-state investment subsidiaries of Wisconsin financial institutions. However, the Department has not yet asserted a claim or issued an assessment against Wauwatosa Savings. Wauwatosa Savings is currently being audited by the Department for the years 1998 through 2003.

          Prior to the formation of the investment subsidiary, Wauwatosa Savings sought and obtained a private letter ruling from the Department confirming that the Nevada subsidiary’s income would not be taxed in Wisconsin. Wauwatosa Savings believes that it has complied in all respects with Wisconsin law and the private rulings received from the Department. Should a Wisconsin tax assessment be issued, Wauwatosa Savings intends to defend its position through the available administrative appeals process at the Department and through other judicial remedies if necessary. Although Wauwatosa Savings will oppose any such assessment, there can be no assurance that the Department will not be successful in whole or in part in its efforts to tax the income of Wauwatosa Savings’ Nevada investment subsidiary. The Company has accrued an estimated state liability, including interest, of $3.6 million for its estimate of the probable assessment amount on the basis of facts known at that time. A deferred tax benefit of $1.2 million was also established as a result of this accrual. The Company intends to continue accruing state income taxes on future investment subsidiary earnings consistent with the accrual previously described until such time as the dispute is resolved.
          Depending upon the terms and circumstances, an adverse resolution of these matters could result in additional Wisconsin tax obligations for prior periods and/or higher Wisconsin taxes going forward, with a substantial negative impact on the earnings of Wauwatosa Holdings. We may also need to incur costs in the future to address any action taken against us by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.
If Our Allowance for Loan Losses is Not Sufficient to Cover Actual Loan Losses, Our Earnings Could Decrease.
          We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, we review our loss and delinquency experience on different loan categories and we evaluate existing economic conditions. If our assumptions are incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in our loan portfolio, resulting in additions to our allowance which would decrease our net income. Although we are unaware of any specific problems with our loan portfolio that would require any increase in our allowance at the present time, it may need to be increased further in the future due to our emphasis on loan growth and on increasing our portfolio of commercial real estate loans.
          In addition, bank regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs, although we are unaware of any reason for them to do so at the present time. Any increase in our allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory authorities may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
A Large Portion of Our Loan Portfolio Is Relatively Unseasoned Over Four-Family Loans, Which May Be Individually Riskier Than One- To Four-Family Loans.
          One of the drivers of our recent loan portfolio growth is an increase in the amount of our over four-family loans. Loans secured by over four-family real estate generally involve larger

-50-

principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by over four-family properties are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties and the cash flow received from rents, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. As the amount of our over four-family loans increases, we will also increase our allowance for loan losses. If borrowers default on their over four-family loans, our provision for loan losses may be inadequate, and such defaults may adversely affect the profitability of Wauwatosa Savings.
Our Shareholders Own a Minority of Wauwatosa Holdings’ Common Stock and Are Not Able to Exercise Voting Control Over Most Matters Put to a Vote of Shareholders.
          Public shareholders own a minority of the outstanding shares of Wauwatosa Holdings common stock. As a result, shareholders other than Lamplighter Financial, MHC are not able to exercise voting control over most matters put to a vote of shareholders. Lamplighter Financial, MHC owns a majority of Wauwatosa Holdings’ common stock and, through its Board of Directors, is able to exercise voting control over most matters put to a vote of shareholders, including possible acquisitions. The same directors who govern Wauwatosa Holdings and Wauwatosa Savings also govern Lamplighter Financial, MHC. The only matters as to which shareholders other than Lamplighter Financial, MHC are able to exercise voting control are those requiring a majority of disinterested or non-Lamplighter Financial, MHC shareholders. Approval of the 2006 Incentive Plan at the 2006 annual meeting of shareholders or any other proposal to implement a recognition and retention stock plan or stock option plan within a one year period following completion of our reorganization requires the approval of non-interested, non-Lamplighter Financial, MHC shareholders.
If We Declare Dividends on Our Common Stock, Lamplighter Financial, MHC Will be Prohibited From Waiving the Receipt of Dividends by Current Federal Reserve Board Policy.
          Wauwatosa Holdings’ Board of Directors has the authority to declare dividends on our common stock, subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. If Wauwatosa Holdings pays dividends to its shareholders, it also is required to pay dividends to Lamplighter Financial, MHC, unless Lamplighter Financial, MHC is permitted by the Federal Reserve Board to waive the receipt of dividends. The Federal Reserve Board’s current position is to not permit a bank holding company to waive dividends declared by its subsidiary. Accordingly, because dividends are required to be paid to Lamplighter Financial, MHC along with all other shareholders, the amount of dividends available for all other shareholders is less than if Lamplighter Financial, MHC were permitted to waive the receipt of dividends.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchase of Equity Securities
     The common stock of Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc. is traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market® under the symbol “WAUW”.
     As of March 21, 2006, there were 33,049,236 shares of common stock outstanding and approximately 5,000 shareholders of record of the common stock. Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc became a publicly-held corporation on October 4, 2005.
     The Company did not pay a cash dividend in 2005. Our Board has not currently considered a policy of paying cash dividends on the common stock. If the Board makes that consideration in the future, which cannot be assured, the payment of dividends will depend upon a number of factors, including capital requirements, Wauwatosa Holdings’ and Wauwatosa Savings’ financial condition and results of operations, tax considerations, statutory and regulatory limitations and general economic conditions and regulatory restrictions that affect the payment of dividends by Wauwatosa Savings to Wauwatosa Holdings and the receipt from the Federal Reserve Board of a waiver of dividends to our mutual holding company. No assurances can be given that any dividends will be paid or that, if paid, they will not be reduced or eliminated in the future. Special cash dividends, stock dividends or returns of capital, to the extent permitted by applicable policy and regulation, may be paid in addition to, or in lieu of, regular cash dividends. Accordingly, it is anticipated that any cash distributions made by Wauwatosa Holdings to its shareholders would be treated as cash dividends and not as a non-taxable return of capital for federal and state tax purposes.
     Dividends from Wauwatosa Holdings will depend, in part, upon receipt of dividends from Wauwatosa Savings, because Wauwatosa Holdings initially will have no source of income other than dividends from Wauwatosa Savings, earnings from the investment of proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock, and interest payments with respect to Wauwatosa Holdings’ loan to the employee stock ownership plan. Wisconsin law generally will allow Wauwatosa Savings to pay dividends to Wauwatosa Holdings equal to up to 50% of Wauwatosa Savings’ net profit in the current year without prior regulatory approval and above such amount, including out of retained earnings, with prior regulatory approval.
     If Wauwatosa Holdings pays dividends to its shareholders, it will be required to pay dividends to Lamplighter Financial, MHC. The Federal Reserve Board’s current policy prohibits the waiver of dividends by mutual holding companies. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that Lamplighter Financial, MHC will be permitted by the Federal Reserve Board to waive dividends paid by Wauwatosa Holdings.
     Our common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market® on October 5, 2005. The high and low trading prices from that date through December 31, 2005 were as follows:

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
     Effective October 4, 2005, Wauwatosa Savings Bank completed its reorganization and subsequent initial public offering of common stock of Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc. Upon completion of the reorganization, Lamplighter Financial, MHC (a Wisconsin chartered mutual holding company) owns a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc. and Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc. owns 100% of the common stock of the Bank.
     In the reorganization, 10,117,125 shares of common stock of Wauwatosa Holdings were sold to eligible subscribers in a registered stock offering, 556,442 shares were issued to the Wauwatosa Savings Bank Fund of the Waukesha County Community Foundation, Inc., and the remaining 23,050,183 shares were issued to Lamplighter Financial, MHC.
     Proceeds from the stock offering, net of issuance costs, amounted to approximately $98.8 million. One half of the proceeds were retained by Wauwatosa Holdings. The remaining proceeds were invested in Wauwatosa Savings Bank. Wauwatosa Holdings. utilized $8.5 million of the proceeds to extend a loan to the Wauwatosa Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”). In turn, the Plan used the $8.5 million in loan proceeds to purchase 761,515 shares of common stock on the open market at an average price of $11.21 per share.
     Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of residential loans, construction loans and debt and mortgage-related securities and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of time deposits and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. Wauwatosa Savings is a mortgage lender with mortgage loans comprising 99.9% of total loans receivable on December 31, 2005. Further, 83.9% of loans receivable are residential mortgage loans and 32.05% of loans receivable are over four-family residential mortgage loans on December 31, 2005. Wauwatosa Savings funds loan production primarily with retail deposits. On December 31, 2005, 88.9% of total deposits were time deposits also known as certificates of deposit. Deposits obtained from brokers totaled $104.7 million at December 31, 2005. Wauwatosa Savings uses borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago as a secondary source of funding. Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding on December 31, 2005 totaled $201.2 million or 19.2% of total deposits.
     Our results of operations also are affected by our provision for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income currently consists primarily of service fees, income from the increase on the cash surrender value of life insurance and miscellaneous other income. Noninterest expense currently consists primarily of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy, data processing, advertising and marketing, charitable contributions and other operating expenses including consulting and other professional fees. Our results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive

conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
Critical Accounting Policies
     Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assumptions by management and that have, or could have, a material impact on our income or the carrying value of our assets.
     Allowance for Loan Losses. Wauwatosa Savings establishes valuation allowances on over four-family and commercial real estate loans considered impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Wauwatosa Savings will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A valuation allowance is established for an amount equal to the impairment when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral.
     Wauwatosa Savings also establishes valuation allowances based on an evaluation of the various risk components that are inherent in the credit portfolio. The risk components that are evaluated include past loan loss experience; the level of nonperforming and classified assets; current economic conditions; volume, growth, and composition of the loan portfolio; adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay; the estimated value of any underlying collateral; peer group comparisons; regulatory guidance; and other relevant factors. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to earnings and recoveries of previously charged-off loans and reduced by charge-offs. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed and approved quarterly by the Wauwatosa Savings board of directors. The allowance reflects management’s best estimate of the amount needed to provide for the probable loss on impaired loans and other inherent losses in the loan portfolio, and is based on a risk model developed and implemented by management and approved by the Wauwatosa Savings board of directors.
     Actual results could differ from this estimate, and future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on unforeseen changes in loan quality and economic conditions. In addition, federal regulators periodically review the Wauwatosa Savings allowance for loan losses. Such regulators have the authority to require Wauwatosa Savings to recognize additions to the allowance at the time of their examination.
     If the allowance for loan losses is too low we may incur higher provisions for loan losses in the future resulting in lower net income. If an estimate of the allowance for loan losses is too high, we may experience lower provisions for loan losses resulting in higher net income.
     Income Taxes. We recognize income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the

-59-


Table of Contents

enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
     Wauwatosa Savings has an investment subsidiary operating in Nevada. The income earned by that corporation is not subject to tax in Wisconsin nor has any such tax been paid. An accrued liability has been recorded pursuant to the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 5 because the Wisconsin Department of Revenue has generally indicated that it may assess franchise taxes on the income of such out of state subsidiaries. Wauwatosa Savings has accrued an estimated liability, as of December 31, 2005, of $2.4 million net of the federal deferred tax benefit. The accrued gross estimated liability as of December 31, 2005, is $3.6 million offset by a $1.2 million federal deferred tax benefit. Wauwatosa Savings will continue to accrue state income tax on certain Nevada subsidiary earnings until such time as this issue is resolved.
     Management believes its tax policies and practices are critical because the determination of the tax provision and current and deferred tax assets and liabilities have a material impact on our net income and the carrying value of our assets. We have no plans to change the tax recognition methodology in the future. If our estimated valuation allowance is too high or too low it will affect our future net income. Net deferred tax assets totaled $6.8 million, $4.4 million and $4.0 million on December 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. As of December 31, 2005, there was a valuation allowance of $346,000 related to the deferred tax asset recognized for the charitable contribution deduction carryforward. There were no valuation allowances as of June 30, 2005 or June 30, 2004. If our estimated current and deferred tax assets and liabilities and any related estimated valuation allowance is too high or too low, it will affect our future net income in the year that the new information enabling us to better evaluate our estimates of income tax assets and liabilities becomes available.
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005
     Total Assets. Our total assets increased by $125.1 million, or 9.0%, to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2005 from $1.4 billion at June 30, 2005. The increase in total assets resulted primarily from continued growth of the loan portfolio and an increase in investment securities. The growth of the loan portfolio and purchase of investment securities was funded in part with the $98.7 net million in proceeds received from the stock offering.
     Loans. Loans receivable increased $87.2 million, or 7.2%, to $1.3 billion at December 31, 2005 from $1.2 billion at June 30, 2005, reflecting continuing demand for new loans in a relatively low interest rate environment. Of the total increase in loans receivable, net, $80.0 million, or 91.7%, was attributable to residential mortgage loans, of which $38.9 million was for loans secured by over four-family residential properties.
     Securities Available for Sale. Proceeds from the stock offering were also used to purchase available-for-sale securities which increased by $38.0 million, or 45.2%, to $122.0 million at December 31, 2005 from $84.0 million at June 30, 2005. The increase as a result of

-60-

purchases was partially offset by a decrease of $1.5 million in the underlying market value of the existing portfolio.
     Deposits. Total deposits decreased by $83.2 million, or 7.4%, to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2005 from $1.1 billion at June 30, 2005. Interest-bearing deposits decreased by $82.6 million or 7.3% and noninterest bearing deposits decreased by $616,000 or 5.3%. Approximately $19.1 million of this decrease resulted from the use of funds by depositors to purchase Company stock during the initial public offering. Brokered certificates of deposit decreased by $21.6 million, or 17.1%, to $104.7 million at December 31, 2005 from $126.3 million at June 30, 2005. Brokered deposits tend to be a more volatile source of funds than deposits obtained from the local community and are used when the cost is measurably less than that of local funding.
     Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Total advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $108.1 million, or 116.0%, to $201.2 million at December 31, 2005 from $93.2 at June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to the decrease in deposits. Advances outstanding at December 31, 2005 have a weighted average rate of 3.90%, compared to 3.07% on advances outstanding at June 30, 2005.
     Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes. Advance payments by borrowers for taxes decreased $15.6 million, or 98.9%, to $181,000 at December 31, 2005 from $15.8 million at June 30, 2005. The decrease is seasonally normal, as Wauwatosa Savings receives payments from borrowers’ for their real estate taxes during the course of the calendar year until real estate tax obligations are paid out, primarily in December.
     Other Liabilities. Other liabilities increased $17.6 million, or 117.7%, to $32.5 million at December 31, 2005 from $14.9 million at June 30, 2005. The increase, which is seasonally normal, was primarily due to an increase in outstanding checks related to advance payments by borrowers for taxes. Wauwatosa Savings receives payments from borrowers’ for their real estate taxes during the course of the calendar year until real estate tax obligations are paid out, primarily in December. The outstanding checks remain classified as an other liability until cashed. The balance of outstanding checks was $16.5 million at December 31, 2005. There was no comparable balance at June 30, 2005.
     Shareholders’ Equity. Total shareholders’ equity increased by $98.3 million, or 73.7%, to $231.7 million at December 31, 2005 from $133.4 million at June 30, 2005, as a result of $104.2 million of capital received from the stock offering, partially offset as discussed below. This amount primarily consists of $98.8 million in net proceeds from the shares issued to subscribing depositors and $5.6 million of additional paid-in-capital recognized as a result of the contribution of shares to Wauwatosa Savings Bank Fund of the Waukesha County Community Foundation. In connection with the reorganization and stock offering, Wauwatosa Savings initiated an employee stock ownership plan (the “Plan”). Approximately $8.5 million of the proceeds from the offering were used to extend a loan to the Plan. In turn, the Plan used the proceeds to purchase 761,515 shares of stock on the open market. As a result of the purchase of shares by the Plan, total shareholders’ equity of the Company was reduced by $7.7 million, which represents the $8.5 million of shares purchased, less $854,000 expensed in the six months ended December 31, 2005 for shares committed to be released to Plan participants by December

31, 2005. Total shareholders’ equity also increased by $2.8 million in net income recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2005, partially offset by an increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities, net of tax of $944,000.
Average Balance Sheets, Interest and Yields/Costs
     The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Rate/Volume Analysis
     The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Month Periods Ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004
     General. Net income decreased $3.1 million, or 53.1%, to $2.7 million during the six months ended December 31, 2005 from $5.8 million during the six months ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in net income resulted primarily from the $5.6 million ($3.5 million after tax) charitable contribution made in connection with the stock offering. An increase in net interest income of $2.0 million was offset by a $672,000 increase in the provision for loan loss and a $1.7 million increase in compensation expense. These items are described in greater detail in subsequent paragraphs.
     Interest Income. Interest income increased by $5.5 million, or 14.9%, to $42.0 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 from $36.6 million for the six months ended

December 31, 2004. Of the increase in interest income, $4.2 million was related to the loan portfolio. The increase in interest income on loans receivable resulted from an increase in average loan balance of $151.8 million, or 13.7%, to $1.3 billion during the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 from $1.1 billion during the comparable period in 2004. The increase in volume was partially offset by a 7 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans to 6.12% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 from 6.19% during the comparable period in 2004. The remaining increase in overall interest income was primarily related to the increase in the average balance of short term investments of $30.3 million, or 124.7%, to $54.6 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 from $24.3 during the comparable period ended in 2004. In connection with the initial public offering, the Company received $386.7 million of cash from eligible stock subscribers. The cash was deposited in a Wauwatosa Savings Bank escrow account and invested in federal funds sold and short-term debt securities. The oversubscribed amounts were returned to depositors following the October 4, 2005 offering.
     Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased by $3.5 million, or 20.1%, to $20.8 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2005 from $17.3 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The increase in total interest expense resulted from a 37 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 3.42% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 from 3.05% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004, and by a $81.3 million, or 7.2%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities to $1.2 billion for the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 from $1.1 billion for the comparable period in 2004. The increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities primarily reflected the increase in market interest rates generally which resulted in higher rates offered on all deposit account products, especially time accounts or certificates of deposit.
     Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $2.0 million, or 10.4%, to $21.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 from $19.3 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The increase resulted from an increase in net average earning assets of $124.6 million, or 126.5%, to $223.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 from $98.5 million from the comparable period of the preceding year. The increase in average earning assets was partially offset by a 46 basis point decrease in the net interest rate spread to 2.43% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 from 2.89% for the comparable period in 2004. The 46 basis point decrease in the net interest rate spread resulted from a 9 basis point decrease in the yield on interest earning assets, compounded by a 37 basis point increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities. Consistent with industry trends, the Bank has experienced net interest margin compression as the yield curve continues to flatten.
     Provision for Loan Losses. Management provided $1.0 million for loan losses for the six months ended December 31, 2005, compared to a provision of $363,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The provision increased as a result of an increase both in the overall balance of the loan portfolio as well as a significant and sustained increase in classified loans from $11.2 million at June 30, 2005 to $14.2 million at December 31, 2005. The allowance for loan losses totaled $5.2 million, or 0.40% of total loans at December 31, 2005, compared to $4.6 million, or 0.38% of total loans, at June 30, 2005.
     Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased by $287,000, or 14.5%, to $2.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 from $2.0 million for the six months ended

December 31, 2004. The increase in noninterest income resulted primarily from a $163,000, or 38.4%, increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance to $587,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 from $424,000 for the comparable period during 2004. The increase in noninterest income was also due to an increase in other income of $113,000, or 17.9%, to $745,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 compared to $632,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. This increase resulted from a $571,000 net gain from the sales of land and building in fiscal 2005. During the six-month period ended December 31, 2004 sales of land and building resulted in a net gain of $488,000.
     Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $6.1 million, or 49.5%, to $18.3 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 from $12.3 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The primary reasons for the increase in noninterest expense were increases in salary and employee benefits and charitable contributions. Salaries and employee benefit expenses increased by $1.7 million, or 29.8%, to $7.4 million for the six- month period ended December 31, 2005 from $5.7 million for the comparable period during 2004. The increase was primarily the result of the addition of the Wawatosa Savings Bank ESOP and planned termination of the existing pension plan. For the period ended December 31, 2005, the Company incurred $854,000 of expense for the shares committed to be released to ESOP participants for 2005. There was no comparable expense during the prior year. In addition, the plan to terminate the pension plan resulted in an additional pension expense of $370,000. Charitable contributions increased by $3.6 million, or 210.0%, to $5.3 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 from $1.7 million for the comparable period in 2004. The increase was attributable to the $5.6 million donation of 556,442 shares of Wauwatosa Holdings common stock issued to the Wauwatosa Savings Bank Fund of the Waukesha County Community Foundation in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.
     Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased to $1.5 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 from $2.9 million for the comparable period during 2004. The decrease in income tax expense was the direct result of a decrease in pretax income for the reasons discussed previously. The effective tax rate was 35.2% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 compared to 33.1% for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The increase in rate was due to increased state income taxes.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2005 (Fiscal 2005) and June 30, 2004 (Fiscal 2004)
     General. Net income decreased $1.5 million, or 13.9%, to $9.1 million in fiscal 2005 from $10.6 million for fiscal 2004. The decrease in net income resulted primarily from the establishment of an accrual related to a dispute with the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, which reduced net income for fiscal 2005 by $2.0 million. The accrual was initially established in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 as the direct result of a general settlement agreement offered by the Department of Revenue in a letter dated July 27, 2004, which requested a response by September 10, 2004. While numerous Wisconsin financial institutions have negotiated and accepted settlement agreements with the Department of Revenue, Wauwatosa Savings has neither accepted, rejected, nor offered an alternate settlement as of this time.

     Interest Income. Interest income increased by $8.1 million, or 12.3%, to $74.2 million for fiscal 2005 from $66.1 million for fiscal 2004. The increase in interest income resulted from a 6 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.9% for fiscal 2005 from 5.9% for fiscal 2004, and by an increase in average interest-earning assets to $1.3 billion for fiscal 2005 from $1.1 billion for fiscal 2004. The increase in average yield reflected the increase in market interest rates generally from fiscal 2004 through fiscal 2005. The increase in average interest-earning assets reflected continued strong demand for mortgage loans in a low interest rate environment.
     Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased by $3.7 million, or 11.4%, to $36.1 million for fiscal 2005 from $32.4 million for fiscal 2004. The increase in total interest expense resulted from a 2 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 3.17% for fiscal 2005 from 3.2% for fiscal 2004, and by a $110.4 million, or 10.7%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities to $1.1 billion for fiscal 2005 from $1.0 billion for fiscal 2004. The increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities primarily reflected the increase in market interest rates generally which resulted in higher rates offered on all deposit account products, especially time accounts or certificates of deposit.
     Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $4.5 million, or 13.3%, to $38.1 million for fiscal 2005 from $33.7 million for fiscal 2004 and a 4 basis point increase in the net interest rate spread to 2.74% for fiscal 2005 from 2.70% for fiscal 2004. The increase in net interest income is the direct result of the 14.4% increase in average loans receivable for the period partially offset by the 18.8% decrease in available for sale securities.
     Provision for Loan Losses. Management provided $1.2 million for loan losses for fiscal 2005, compared to a provision of $860,000 for fiscal 2004. The provision increased as a result of an increase both in the loan portfolio as well as a significant and sustained increase in classified loans from $3.9 million at June 30, 2004 to $11.2 million at June 30, 2005. The allowance for loan losses totaled $4.6 million, or 0.38% of total loans at June 30, 2005, compared to $3.4 million, or 0.32% of total loans, at June 30, 2004.
     Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased by $276,000, or 9.1%, to $3.3 million for fiscal 2005 from $3.0 million for fiscal 2004. The increase in noninterest income resulted primarily from a $488,000 net gain from the sales of land and building in fiscal 2005. There was no comparable transactions in the prior fiscal year. Noninterest income from the increase in cash surrender value of life insurance was lower in 2005 by $365,000.
     Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $3.2 million, or 15.7%, to $23.6 million for fiscal 2005 from $20.4 million for fiscal 2004. The primary reasons for the increase in noninterest expense were increases in salary and employee benefits and charitable contributions. Salaries and employee benefits expenses increased by $671,000, or 6.2%, to $11.4 million for fiscal 2005 from $10.8 million for fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily the result of increases in staff members needed to sustain growth, annual salary increases for existing staff and higher pension plan expenses. Charitable contributions increased by $1.1 million, or 111.4%, to $2.1 million in fiscal 2005 as compared to $988,000 in fiscal 2004.
     Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased to $7.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2005 from $4.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2004. The higher income tax

expense was the direct result of the establishment of an accrual related to a dispute with the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, which increased net income taxes for fiscal 2005 by $2.0 million plus the effect of the $1.2 million, or 7.7% increase in income before income taxes. The effective tax rate was 45.2% for 2005 compared to 31.5% for 2004.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2004 (Fiscal 2004) and June 30, 2003 (Fiscal 2003)
     General. Net income decreased $521,000, or 4.7%, to $10.6 million in fiscal 2004 from $11.1 million for fiscal 2003. The decrease in net income resulted from an increase in higher noninterest expense of $2.8 million, or 15.7%, to $20.4 million for fiscal 2004 from $17.6 million for fiscal 2003. The increase in noninterest expense was partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $1.7 million, or 5.2%, to $33.7 million for fiscal 2004 from $32.0 million for fiscal 2003 and a related decrease in income tax expense of $879,000, or 15.3%, to $4.8 million from $5.7 million for fiscal 2003.
     Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $363,000, or 0.5%, to $66.1 million for fiscal 2004 from $66.5 million for fiscal 2003. The decrease in interest income resulted from a 77 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.85% for fiscal 2004 from 6.62% for fiscal 2003, which was only partially offset by an increase in average interest-earning assets to $1.1 billion for fiscal 2004 from $1.0 billion for fiscal 2003. The decrease in average yield reflected the decrease in market interest rates generally from fiscal 2003 through fiscal 2004. The increase in average interest-earning assets reflected continued strong demand for mortgage loans in a low interest rate environment.
     Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased by $2.0 million, or 5.9%, to $32.4 million for fiscal 2004 from $34.5 million for fiscal 2003. The decrease in total interest expense resulted from a 63 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 3.15% for fiscal 2004 from 3.8% for fiscal 2003, which was only partially offset by a $117.1 million, or 12.8%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities to $1.0 billion for fiscal 2004 from $911.9 million for fiscal 2003. The decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities primarily reflected the continued decline in market interest rates generally which resulted in lower rates offered on all deposit account products, especially time accounts or certificates of deposit.
     Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.7 million, or 5.2%, to $33.7 million for fiscal 2004 from $32.0 million for fiscal 2003 in spite of a 14 basis point decline in the net interest rate spread to 2.7% for fiscal 2004 from 2.8% for fiscal 2003. The increase in net interest income is the direct result of the 9.3% increase in average loans receivable for the period plus the 69.4% increase in available for sale securities.
     Provision for Loan Losses. Management provided $860,000 for loan losses for fiscal 2004, compared to a provision of $520,000 for fiscal 2003. The provision increased as a result of an increase both in the loan portfolio as well as an increase in actual net chargeoffs of $423,000 in fiscal 2004. At June 30, 2004, the allowance for loan losses totaled $3.4 million, or 0.3% of total loans, compared to $3.2 million, or 0.3% of total loans, at June 30, 2003.

Table of Contents

     Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased by $42,000, or 1.4%, to $3.0 million for fiscal 2004 from $3.0 million for fiscal 2003. The increase in cash surrender value of life insurance totaling $1.0 million in fiscal 2004 was $387,000 higher than the prior fiscal year. Wauwatosa Savings purchased policies totaling $13 million in February 2003 generating other income for the remaining five months of fiscal 2003 and all 12 months of fiscal 2004.
     Service charges and fees decreased $363,000 or 24.1% to $1.1 million for fiscal 2004 compared to $1.5 million for fiscal 2003. Wauwatosa Savings’ most recent refinancing wave peaked in fiscal 2003.
     Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $2.8 million, or 15.7%, to $20.4 million for fiscal 2004 from $17.6 million for fiscal 2003. The primary reasons for the increase in noninterest expense were increases in salary and employee benefits and occupancy expenses. Salaries and employee benefits expenses increased by $2.1 million, or 23.3%, to $10.8 million for fiscal 2004 from $8.7 million for fiscal 2003. The increase was primarily the result of higher salaries, staff increases, and higher health insurance expenses. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $936,000, or 36.9%, to $3.5 million for fiscal 2004 from $2.5 million for fiscal 2003. The increase was primarily the result of opening a new branch office in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin in mid-2003 and the establishment of a non-retail, corporate center leased in November 2002 and opened in April 2003.
     Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased to $4.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 from $5.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2003. The lower income tax expense was the direct result of the overall decline in income before taxes plus the effect of the non-taxable income from the increase in cash value of life insurance. The effective tax rate was 31.5% for 2004 compared to 34.1% for 2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     We maintain liquid assets at levels we consider adequate to meet our liquidity needs. Our liquidity ratio averaged 3.4%, 1.7%, 1.4% and 2.8% for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The liquidity ratio is equal to average daily cash and cash equivalents for the period divided by average total assets. We adjust our liquidity levels to fund loan commitments, repay our borrowings, fund deposit outflows and pay real estate taxes on mortgage loans. We also adjust liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives. The operational adequacy of our liquidity position at any point in time is dependent upon the judgment of the Chief Financial Officer as supported by the full Asset/Liability Committee. Liquidity is monitored on a daily, weekly and monthly basis using a variety of measurement tools and indicators. Regulatory liquidity, as required by the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, is based on current liquid assets as a percentage of the prior month’s average deposits and short-term borrowings. Minimum primary liquidity is equal to 4.0% of deposits and short-term borrowings and minimum total regulatory liquidity is equal to 8.0% of deposits and short-term borrowings. Wauwatosa Savings primary and total regulatory liquidity at December 31, 2005 was 4.43% and 13.47%, respectively.

     Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our competition. We set the interest rates on our deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. Additional sources of liquidity used for the purpose of managing long- and short-term cash flows include $45 million in Federal funds lines of credit with three commercial banks and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. Internal policy limits reliance on Federal Home Loan Bank advances to 25% of total deposits. At December 31, 2005, Federal Home Loan Bank advances amounted to 19.2% of total deposits.
     A portion of our liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, which are a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively, $16.5 million and $20.5 million of our assets were invested in cash and cash equivalents. Our primary sources of cash are principal repayments on loans, proceeds from the calls and maturities of debt and mortgage-related securities, increases in deposit accounts, Federal funds purchased and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.
     Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
     During the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, our loan originations, net of collected principal, totaled $88.2 million, $79.6 million, $153.1 million and $127.6 million, respectively, reflecting net growth in our portfolio due to a continued low interest rate environment and strong housing market. Cash received from the calls and maturities of debt and mortgage-related securities totaled $16.7 million, $15.9 million, $46.5 million and $51.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We purchased $56.4 million, $10.0 million, $34.2 million and $71.3 million in available-for-sale debt and mortgage-related securities during the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We sold $5.3 million, $5.6 million and $7.1 million in available-for-sale debt and mortgage-related securities during the six months ended December 31, 2004 and for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. There were no securities sold during the six months ended December 31, 2005.
     Deposit flows are generally affected by the level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by local competitors, and other factors. The net decrease in deposits was $83.2 million during the six months ended December 31, 2005. The net increases in total deposits were $47.4 million, $93.2 million and $126.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2004 and for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
     Liquidity management is both a daily and longer-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, which provide an additional source of funds. At December 31, 2005, we had $201.2 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of

Chicago, of which $87.2 million was due within 12 months, and an additional available borrowing limit of $301.2 million based on collateral requirements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. Internal policies limit borrowings to 25% of total deposits, or $261.4 million at December 31, 2005.
     At December 31, 2005, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $43.4 million and unfunded commitments under lines of credit and standby letters of credit of $33.4 million. At December 31, 2005, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $599.6 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In the event a significant portion of our deposits are not retained by us, we will have to utilize other funding sources, such as Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago advances in order to maintain our level of assets. However, we cannot assure that such borrowings would be available on attractive terms, or at all, if and when needed. Alternatively, we would reduce our level of liquid assets, such as our cash and cash equivalents and securities available-for-sale in order to meet funding needs. In addition, the cost of such deposits may be significantly higher if market interest rates are higher or there is an increased amount of competition for deposits in our market area at the time of renewal.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
     The financial statements and accompanying notes of Wauwatosa Savings have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than do the effects of inflation.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Management of Market Risk
     General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, Wauwatosa Savings’ Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Committee which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. Management monitors the level of interest rate risk on a regular basis and the Asset/Liability Committee meets at least weekly to review our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position, which are evaluated quarterly.
     We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. During the low interest rate environment that has existed in recent years, we have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: (i) emphasized variable rate loans including variable rate one- to four-family, and commercial loans as well as three to five year commercial balloon loans, (ii) reducing and shortening the expected average life of the investment portfolio, and (iii) whenever possible, lengthening the term structure of our deposit base and our borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. These measures should serve to reduce the volatility of our net interest income in different interest rate environments.
     Income Simulation. Simulation analysis is an estimate of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. At least quarterly we review the potential effect changes in interest rates could have on the repayment or repricing of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities. Our most recent simulation uses projected repricing of assets and liabilities at December 31, 2005 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate adjustments. Prepayment rate assumptions can have a significant impact on interest income simulation results. Because of the large percentage of loans and mortgage-backed securities we hold, rising or falling interest rates may have a significant impact on the actual prepayment speeds of our mortgage related assets that may in turn affect our interest rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayment speeds slow and the average expected lives of our assets would tend to lengthen more than the expected average lives of our liabilities and therefore would most likely result in an increase to our liability sensitive position.

    Percentage
    Increase (Decrease) in Estimated Net
    Annual Interest Income
    Over 24 Months
300 basis point increase in rates
    (15.41 %)
200 basis point increase in rates
    (7.91 %)
100 basis point increase in rates
    (3.72 %)
100 basis point decrease in rates
    1.49 %
     Wauwatosa Savings’ Asset/Liability policy limits projected changes in net average annual interest income to a maximum variance of (10%) to (50%) for various levels of interest rate changes measured over a 24-month period when compared to the flat rate scenario. In addition, projected changes in the capital ratio are limited to (.15%) to (1.00%) for various levels of changes in interest rates when compared to the flat rate scenario. These limits are re-evaluated on a periodic basis and may be modified, as appropriate. Because our balance sheet is liability sensitive, income is projected to decrease proportionately with increases in interest rates. At December 31, 2005, a 300 basis point immediate and instantaneous increase in interest rates had the effect of reducing forecast net interest income by 15.41% while a 100 basis point decrease in rates had the effect of increasing net interest income by 1.49%. At December 31, 2005, a 300 basis point immediate and instantaneous increase in interest rates had the effect of reducing the forecast return on assets by 0.27% while a 100 basis point decrease in rates had the effect of increasing the return on assets by 0.03%. While we believe the assumptions used are reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate actual future mortgage-backed security and loan repayment activity.

WAUWATOSA HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 and 2004
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
1)   Summary of Accounting Policies
  a)   Organization
 
      The Board of Directors of Wauwatosa Savings Bank (the Bank) adopted the Plan of Reorganization and related Stock Issuance Plan on May 17, 2005, as amended on June 3, 2005, under which Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc. (the Company) was formed to become the mid-tier holding company for the Bank. In addition, Lamplighter Financial, MHC, a Wisconsin-chartered mutual holding company, was formed to become the majority owner of Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc.
 
      In connection with the Plan of Reorganization and Stock Issuance Plan, on October 4, 2005, 10,117,125 shares of Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc. were sold to eligible subscribers in a registered stock offering, 556,442 shares were issued to the Wauwatosa Savings Bank Fund of the Waukesha County Community Foundation, and the remaining 23,050,183 shares were issued to Lamplighter Financial, MHC. The Company’s outstanding common shares are 68.3% owned by Lamplighter Financial, MHC.
 
  b)   Fiscal Year Change
 
      In 2005, the Company changed its fiscal year ended June 30 to a fiscal year ended December 31. The six month period ended December 31, 2005, transitions between the Company’s old and new fiscal year ends. The results of operations for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for an entire fiscal year. The unaudited financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 2004, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  c)   Nature of Operations
 
      The Company operates as a one-bank holding company. The Bank is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits to originate residential real estate loans.
 
  d)   Principles of Consolidation
 
      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wauwatosa Savings Bank. The Bank has the following wholly owned subsidiaries: Wauwatosa Investments, Inc. and Main Street Real Estate Holdings, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
      The Bank provides a full range of financial services to customers through branch locations in Wauwatosa, Oak Creek, Waukesha, Oconomowoc, and Pewaukee, Wisconsin. The Bank is subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
 
  e)   Use of Estimates
 
      The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
      and assumptions include the allowance for loan losses and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  f)   Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
      The Company considers federal funds sold and highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
 
  g)   Securities
 
      Management has designated all securities as available-for-sale. As such, they are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of equity.
 
      The cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity or, in the case of mortgage-related securities, over the estimated life of the security. Such amortization is included in interest income from investments. Realized gains and losses and impairment in value determined to be other than temporary are included in gain or loss on the sale of investments and mortgage-related securities. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
 
      Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at cost, which is the amount that the stock is redeemable by tendering to the FHLB or the amount at which shares can be sold to other FHLB members. In October 2005, the FHLB announced that it was indefinitely suspending the right of members to redeem excess amounts of FHLB stock. FHLB dividends are recognized as income on their ex-dividend date.
 
  h)   Interest on Loans
 
      Interest on loans is accrued and credited to income as it is earned. Allowances are established for uncollected interest on mortgage loans on which any payments are 90 days or more past due and are determined to be uncollectible. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
 
  i)   Allowance for Loan Losses
 
      The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
 
      The Bank establishes valuation allowances on multi-family and commercial real estate loans considered impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A valuation allowance is established for an amount equal to the impairment when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral.
 
      The Bank also establishes valuation allowances based on an evaluation of the various risk components that are inherent in the loan portfolio. The risk components that are evaluated include past loan loss experience; the level of nonperforming and classified assets; current economic conditions; volume,

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
      growth, and composition of the loan portfolio; adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay; the estimated value of any underlying collateral; peer group comparisons; regulatory guidance; and other relevant factors. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to earnings and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is approved quarterly by the Bank’s board of directors. The allowance reflects management’s best estimate of the amount needed to provide for the probable loss on impaired loans, as well as other credit risks of the Bank, and is based on a risk model developed and implemented by management and approved by the Bank’s board of directors.
 
      Actual results could differ from this estimate, and future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on unforeseen changes in economic conditions. In addition, federal regulators periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such regulators have the authority to require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance at the time of their examination.
 
  j)   Foreclosed Properties
 
      Foreclosed properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, minus estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure. Impairments of foreclosed properties after acquisition are charged to expense at the time of impairment.
 
  k)   Loan Fees
 
      Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loans’ yield. Amortization is based on a level-yield method over the contractual life of the related loans or until the loan is paid in full.
 
  l)   Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance
 
      The Company purchased bank owned life insurance on the lives of certain officers. The Company is the beneficiary of the life insurance policies. The cash surrender value of life insurance is reported at the amount that would be received in cash if the polices are surrendered. Increases in the cash value of the policies and proceeds of death benefits received are recorded in non-interest income. The increase in cash surrender value of life insurance is not subject to income taxes, as long as the Company has the intent and ability to hold the policies until the death benefits are received.
 
  m)   Office Properties and Equipment
 
      Office properties and equipment, including leasehold improvements and software, are stated at cost, net of depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term, if shorter than the estimated useful life. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while additions or major improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives of the assets are 10 to 30 years for office properties, three to 10 years for equipment, and three years for software. Rent expense related to long-term operating leases is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
  n)   Income Taxes
 
      Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their

      respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and, if necessary, tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
 
      The Company accrues for income tax exposures for amounts management deems probable to be paid upon settlement of the related income tax issue. Amounts are accrued in the period in which the exposure becomes probable and estimable. When the year to which the exposure relates is closed or when the amount is no longer determined to be probable, the accrual is reversed as a reduction of income tax expense.
 
  o)   Earnings Per Share
 
      Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of all potential common shares. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The Company does not currently have any securities or contracts to issue common stock that, if exercised or converted into common stock, would result in dilution. Shares of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan committed to be released are considered outstanding for both common and diluted EPS. The calculation of EPS for the period subsequent to the reorganization reflect the actual net loss and weighted average             shares outstanding from the period October 5, 2005 through December 31, 2005.
 
  p)   Other Comprehensive Income
 
      Comprehensive income is the total of reported net income and all other revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles bypass reported net income. The Company includes unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, on securities available for sale in other comprehensive income.
 
  q)   Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
 
      Compensation expense under the ESOP is equal to the fair value of common shares released or committed to be released to participants in the ESOP in each respective period. Common stock purchased by the ESOP and not committed to be released to participants is included in the consolidated statements of financial condition at cost as a reduction of shareholders’ equity.
 
  r)   Reclassifications
 
      Certain 2004 accounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.

  s)   Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
      In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 changes the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle by requiring retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle unless impracticable. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
 
      In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 115-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments". This FSP provides additional guidance on when an investment in a debt or equity security should be considered impaired and when that impairment should be considered other-than-temporary and recognized as a loss in earnings. Specifically, the guidance clarifies that an investor should recognize an impairment loss no later than when the impairment is deemed other-than-temporary, even if a decision to sell has not been made. The FSP also requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The Company applied the guidance in this FSP in 2005. There was not a material impact on results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
 
      In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”). SFAS 155 amends FASB Statements No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", and No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” for the following purposes: permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; clarify which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133; establish a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; clarify that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

The unrealized losses reported for government agency bonds and mortgage-related securities relate exclusively to debt securities issued by government agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC). Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these debt securities until a market price recovery or maturity, these securities are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

The Company has granted loans to their directors, executive officers, or their related interests. These loans were made on substantially the same terms and collateral as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other unrelated customers, except that loans to executive officers (as with all employees of the Company) were made at interest rates approximating the Company’s cost of funds, which is a lower rate than similar loans to unrelated parties. These loans are performing according to contractual terms and do not present more than a normal risk of collection. These loans to related parties are summarized as follows:

The Company serves the credit needs of its customers by offering a wide variety of loan programs to customers, primarily in Wisconsin. The loan portfolio is widely diversified by types of borrowers, property type, and market areas. Significant loan concentrations are considered to exist for a financial institution when there are amounts loaned to one borrower or to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At December 31, 2005 and at June 30, 2005 and 2004, no loans to one borrower or industry concentrations existed in the Company’s loan portfolio in excess of 10% of total loans.

7)   Regulatory Capital
 
    The Company, as well as the subsidiary Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’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 regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2005, that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
 
    As of December 31, 2005 the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios, as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.
 
    As a state-chartered savings bank, the Bank is required to meet minimum capital levels established by the state of Wisconsin in addition to federal requirements. For the state of Wisconsin, regulatory capital consists of retained income, paid-in-capital, capital stock equity and other forms of capital considered to be qualifying capital by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 
    The actual capital amounts and ratios for the Company and its subsidiary Bank as of December 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 are presented in the table below:

    and for the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. The Company’s policy is to fund pension costs accrued. During the period ended December 31, 2005, the Company elected to freeze benefits accruing in the Pension Plan, and will apply to the Internal Revenue Service to terminate the Plan and to pay out all benefits to Plan participants in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The expense for the six months ended December 31, 2005 includes amounts contributed to the Plan to fully settle the pension plan obligation.
 
    The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan and trust covering substantially all employees with at least one year of service who have attained age 18. Participating employees may annually contribute up to 15% of their pretax compensation. The Company made no contributions to the Plan during the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003.
 
    The Company has a nonqualified salary continuation plan for one current and two former employees. These agreements provide for payments of specific amounts over 10-year periods subsequent to each key employee’s retirement. The deferred compensation liability is being accrued ratably to the respective normal retirement date for the current employee. Payments made to the retired employees reduce the liability. As of December 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and 2004, approximately $2,720, $2,915 and $3,279 are accrued related to these plans, respectively. These agreements are intended to be funded by life insurance policies owned by the Company on these employees, which have a face amount of $12,083 and a cash surrender value of $8,506, $8,000 and $7,333 at December 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The employees, however, have no interest in these policies. The expense for compensation under these agreements was approximately $40, $34, $74, $69, and $64 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and for the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.
 
    Bank-owned life insurance has a face amount of $308,481 and cash surrender value of $14,285, $14,078 and $13,648 at December 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
9)   Employee Stock Ownership Plan
 
    In conjunction with the mutual holding company reorganization, Wauwatosa Savings established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”). All employees are eligible to participate in the Plan after they attain twenty-one years of age and complete twelve consecutive months of service in which they work at least 1,000 hours of service. The Plan borrowed $8,539 from the Company and purchased 761,515 shares of common stock of the Company in the open market. The Plan debt is secured by shares of the Company. The Company has committed to make annual contributions to the Plan necessary to repay the loan, including interest. The loan is scheduled to be repaid in ten annual installments beginning on January 1, 2006. While the shares are not released and allocated to Plan participants until the loan payment is made, the shares are deemed to be earned and are therefore, committed to be released throughout the service period. As such, one-tenth of the shares are scheduled to be released as shares are earned over the next ten years, beginning with the six-month period ended December 31, 2005. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to active employees’ accounts. The shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the consolidated statement of financial condition. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the average fair market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations. Compensation expense attributed to the ESOP was $854 for the six months ended December 31, 2005.

The significant components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets (liabilities) included in prepaid expenses and other assets are as follows at December 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and 2004:

Net deferred tax assets
  $ 6,823       4,369       3,954  
 
                 
The change in net deferred tax assets from June 30, 2005 to December 31, 2005, June 30, 2004 to June 30, 2005 and from June 30, 2003 to June 30, 2004 includes the deferred tax effect reported in other comprehensive income of $(521), $777 and $(1,230), respectively.
Based upon the level of historical taxable income and expected future taxable income over the periods in which the net deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.
Like many financial institutions located in Wisconsin, the Bank transferred investment securities and loans to an out-of-state subsidiary. The Bank’s Nevada subsidiary now holds and manages those assets. Because the subsidiary is located in the state of Nevada, income from its operations has not been subject to Wisconsin state taxation. The investment subsidiary has not filed returns with, or paid income or franchise taxes to, the state of Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (the Department) recently implemented a program to audit Wisconsin financial institutions that have formed and contributed assets to subsidiaries located outside of Wisconsin, and the Department has generally indicated that it intends to assess income or franchise taxes on some or all of the income of the out-of-state investment subsidiaries of

    Wisconsin financial institutions. The Department has not issued an assessment to the Bank, but the Department has stated that it intends to do so if the matter is not settled.
 
    Prior to the formation of the investment subsidiary, the Bank sought and obtained a private letter ruling from the Department regarding the non-taxability of the investment subsidiary in the state of Wisconsin. The Bank believes that it complied with Wisconsin law and the private ruling received from the Department. Should assessment be forthcoming, the Bank intends to defend its position through the available administrative appeals process in place at the Department and through other judicial remedies should they become necessary. Although the Bank will vigorously oppose any such assessment, there can be no assurance that the Department will not be successful in whole or in part in its efforts to tax the income of the Bank’s Nevada investment subsidiary. At December 31, 2005, the Company has an accrued estimated state tax liability of $3,553 including interest for the probable settlement amount on the basis of facts currently known. A deferred Federal tax benefit of $1,243 has been established as a result of this accrual. The Company does not expect the resolution of this matter to have a material adverse affect on its consolidated results of operations and financial position beyond the amounts accrued. However, the Company intends to accrue state income taxes on future income of the Nevada subsidiary in line with the previously discussed accrual until such time as the dispute is resolved.
 
    Under the Internal Revenue Code and Wisconsin Statutes, the Company is permitted to deduct, for tax years beginning before 1998, an annual addition to a reserve for bad debts. This amount differs from the provision for loan losses recorded for financial accounting purposes. Under prior law, bad debt deductions for income tax purposes were included in taxable income of later years only if the bad debt reserves were used for purposes other than to absorb bad debt losses. Because the Company did not intend to use the reserve for purposes other than to absorb losses, no deferred income taxes were provided. Retained earnings at December 31, 2005 includes approximately $16,654 for which no deferred Federal or state income taxes were provided. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes have been provided on certain additions to the tax reserve for bad debts.
 
11)   Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
 
    The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
 
    The Company’s potential exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for other financial instruments reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent potential credit risk:
                       
Commitments to extend credit under first mortgage loans
  $ 43,375       65,566       69,324  
Commitments to extend credit home equity lines of credit
    31,809       30,253       22,867  
Standby letters of credit
    1,576       1,374       2,252  
    Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements of the Company. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral obtained generally consists of mortgages on the underlying real estate.
 
    Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds mortgages on the underlying real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.
 
    The Company has determined that there are no probable losses related to commitments to extend credit or the standby letters of credit as of December 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004.
 
12)   Fair Values of Financial Instruments
 
    Fair value information about financial instruments follows, whether or not recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. 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 its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.
 
    The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.
  a)   Cash and Cash Equivalents and Accrued Interest Receivable
 
      The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents and accrued interest receivable approximate those assets’ fair values.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
  b)   Mortgage-Related and Debt Securities
 
      Fair values for mortgage-related and debt securities are based on quoted market prices of these or comparable instruments.
 
  c)   Loans Receivable
 
      Fair values for loans receivable are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to estimated future cash flows of the loans receivable.
 
  d)   FHLB Stock
 
      For FHLB stock, the carrying amount is the amount at which shares can be redeemed with the FHLB and is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
  e)   Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance
 
      The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition for the cash surrender value of life insurance approximate those assets’ fair values.
 
  f)   Deposits and Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes
 
      The fair values for interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing negotiable order of withdrawal accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates of similar remaining maturities to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of the outstanding certificates of deposit. The advance payments by borrowers for taxes are equal to their carrying amounts at the reporting date.
 
  g)   FHLB Advances
 
      Fair values for FHLB advances are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to estimated future cash flows of the advances.
 
  h)   Accrued Interest Payable and Accrued Interest Receivable
 
      For accrued interest payable and accrued interest receivable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
  i)   Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit
 
      Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are generally not marketable. Furthermore, interest rates on any amounts drawn under such commitments would be generally established at market rates at the time of the draw. Fair values for the Company’s commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the counterparty’s credit standing, and discounted cash flow analyses. The fair value of the Company’s commitments to extend credit is not material at December 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004.

13)   Earnings (loss) per share
 
    Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of all potential common shares. At December 31, 2005, 76,150 shares of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan have been committed to be released to Plan participants and are considered outstanding for both common and dilutive earnings per share. The calculation of earnings per share for the period subsequent to the reorganization reflect the actual net loss and weighted average shares outstanding from the period October 5, 2005 through December 31, 2005. No earnings per share are reflected for periods prior to October 4, 2005, as there were no shares outstanding prior to the reorganization.

15)   Segments and Related Information
 
    The Company is required to report each operating segment based on materiality thresholds of 10% or more of certain amounts, such as revenue. Additionally, the Company is required to report separate operating segments until the revenue attributable to such segments is at least 75% of total consolidated revenue. The Company provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies in southeastern Wisconsin. These services include demand, time, and savings products, and commercial and retail lending. While the Company’s chief decision-maker monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Since the Company’s business units have similar basic characteristics in the nature of the products, production processes, and type or class of customer for products or services, and do not meet materiality thresholds based on the requirements of reportable segments, these business units are considered one operating segment.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
     Ernst & Young LLP was previously the principal accountant for Wauwatosa Savings. On March 12, 2004, that firm was terminated and KPMG LLP was engaged as principal accountant for Wauwatosa Savings. The decision to change accountants was approved by the audit committee of the Board of Directors of Wauwatosa Savings.
     In connection with the audit of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 and through March 12, 2004, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused that firm to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its opinion.
     The audit reports of Ernst & Young LLP on the consolidated financial statements of Wauwatosa Savings and its subsidiaries as of and for the year ended June 30, 2003 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
     Wauwatosa Savings has provided Ernst & Young LLP with a copy of the disclosures contained herein and has requested that Ernst & Young LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by Wauwatosa Savings herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Ernst & Young LLP’s letter is contained as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Wauwatosa Holdings management, with the participation of Wauwatosa Holding’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Wauwatosa Holdings’ 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, Wauwatosa Holdings’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, Wauwatosa Holdings’ disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by Wauwatosa Holdings in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There have not been any changes in Wauwatosa Holdings’ 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 final fiscal quarter of the period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Wauwatosa Holdings’ internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.
     On March 22, 2006, the Bank entered into an Early Retirement, Resignation and Release Agreement (the “Resignation Agreement”) with Donald J. Stephens pursuant to which the Bank and Mr. Stephens have set forth the terms and conditions on which Mr. Stephens will retire from the Bank on December 31, 2006. Mr. Stephens has decided to retire and resign from the Bank for personal and family health reasons. Under the terms of the Resignation Agreement, Mr. Stephens has agreed to resign from all positions he currently holds with the Bank, the Company and their affiliates, including directorships, as of December 31, 2006. Until his resignation, Mr. Stephens will continue to perform his duties in accordance with his employment contract and will receive his current base salary and all benefits to which he is entitled as a full-time executive employee of the Bank, including consideration for a 2006 year-end bonus commensurate with prior bonuses. Following his resignation, Mr. Stephens will also receive a lump sum payment which, after the payment of all taxes on such payment, will provide him with an amount equal to the value of the automobile that the Bank provided for his use during his employment.
     In the Resignation Agreement, the parties acknowledged that Mr. Stephens’ resignation shall be treated as a “voluntary termination” under Mr. Stephens’ current employment agreement. On account of Mr. Stephens’ long-standing commitment and exemplary service to the Bank and the health circumstances under which Mr. Stephens has decided to resign only six months prior to his attaining age 62, the Bank has agreed in the Resignation Agreement that, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Stephens will not have attained the age of 62 upon his resignation, it will pay Mr. Stephens the full retirement benefit of $170,000 per year, rather than the approximately $163,700 per year he otherwise would have been entitled to, for ten years following his resignation under the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan between the Bank and Mr. Stephens. No payments will be made to Mr. Stephens prior to six months following his resignation, as required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
     Reference is made to the full text of the Resignation Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
     The Board anticipates that upon Mr. Stephens’ retirement, Douglas Gordon will assume Mr. Stephens’ duties. The Board also anticipates that upon Mr. Stephens’ retirement, an outside director will be elected as Chair of the Board.
     On account of the recent nature of this arrangement and the lack of time with which the Company’s Nominating Committee could seek and consider an alternative nominee for the Company’s Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee has decided to retain Mr. Stephens as a nominee for the Board of Directors at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders to be held on May 16, 2006. If elected, Mr. Stephens will serve as a Director of the Company until his resignation on December 31, 2006, at which point the Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to authority in the Company’s Bylaws, will either fill the vacancy on the Board created by Mr. Stephens’ resignation or leave the directorship unfilled until the next annual meeting of shareholders.

EX-10.5 2 c01965exv10w5.htm EARLY RETIREMENT, RESIGNATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT exv10w5
 

EXHIBIT 10.5
DONALD J. STEPHENS
EARLY RETIREMENT, RESIGNATION
AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
     THIS AGREEMENT is made as of March 22, 2006, between WAUWATOSA SAVINGS BANK (the “Bank”) and DONALD J. STEPHENS (the “Executive”).
     WHEREAS, the Executive is currently employed as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and its holding companies, Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc. and Lamplighter Financial MHC (together the “Company”), and
     WHEREAS, the Executive and the Bank are parties to the Wauwatosa Savings Bank Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan, dated as of July 13, 1999 (the “SERP”), which provides the Executive with certain benefits upon termination of his employment;
     WHEREAS, the Executive and the Bank are parties to the Employment Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2005 (the “Employment Agreement”), which governs the terms of the Executive’s current employment relationship with the Bank;
     WHEREAS, the Executive is currently a participant in the Wauwatosa Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”); and
     WHEREAS, the Bank and the Executive have had discussions regarding the possible resignation by the Executive in an orderly fashion providing for reasonable management succession and the terms and conditions that would be applicable; and
     WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into this Agreement to finalize all such terms and conditions.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Executive’s past and future service and of the mutual promises herein made and other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
  1.   Early Retirement and Resignation. The Executive hereby resigns from all positions (including, but not limited to, directorships) with the Bank, the Company and their affiliates and subsidiaries, and retires as an employee of the Bank, effective as of December 31, 2006 (the “Early Retirement and Resignation Date”). The Bank, the Company and their affiliates and subdivisions hereby accept such resignation effective as of the Early Retirement and Resignation Date. The Executive shall continue to receive his current base salary and all benefits to which he is entitled as a full-time

 


 

      executive employee of the Bank until the Early Retirement and Resignation Date, including but not limited to, consideration for a 2006 year end bonus reasonably commensurate with past bonus awards and taking into consideration the additional contributions of the Executive in coordinating the transition of Bank and Company management. Any such bonus shall be paid in January 2007. The parties agree that the Bank or its affiliates may alter and reduce the Executive’s duties at any time from the date hereof to the Early Retirement and Resignation Date, but that any such reduction in duties will not constitute a violation of the Employment Agreement nor affect the amounts owed to Executive under this paragraph 1 or the remainder of this Agreement.
 
  2.   Employment Agreement. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that the Executive’s resignation shall be treated as a voluntary termination pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Employment Agreement and that Executive shall be due the benefits set forth therein. The parties further acknowledge that the Employment Agreement shall continue in full force and effect following the execution of this Agreement and that, upon and after the Early Retirement and Resignation Date, Executive shall continue to be subject to the provisions of the Employment Agreement that by their terms survive his termination of employment, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Article III of the Employment Agreement regarding Executive’s noncompetition and confidentiality obligations.
 
  3.   SERP. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the fact that Executive will not have attained his “Early Retirement Date” as of his resignation from employment with the Bank, the Executive shall be due benefits pursuant to Section 3.1 of the SERP as if he had attained his Early Retirement Date. The parties further acknowledge that the SERP shall continue in full force and effect following the execution of this Agreement and that, upon Executive’s resignation, Executive shall continue to be subject to the provisions of the SERP that by their terms survive his termination of employment, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Section 8 of the SERP regarding Executive’s noncompetition obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the SERP, the parties agree that the SERP payments shall commence on the first day of the month following the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Executive’s separation from service (as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”)). The Company and the Executive agree to execute any reasonable amendments to this Agreement and the SERP as may be necessary to ensure compliance with Section 409A.

-2-


 

  4.   ESOP. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Executive shall remain a participant in the Bank’s ESOP through the Early Retirement and Resignation Date and that, on account of Executive’s vested years of service, Executive shall be fully vested in his “Employer Contribution Account” as of the Resignation Date.
 
  5.   Equity Compensation Benefits. The parties acknowledge that the Company will be seeking shareholder approval of the Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Incentive Plan”) at the Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 16, 2006. The Executive acknowledges that on account of the vesting schedule for awards under the 2006 Incentive Plan, any potential awards to Executive would be forfeited upon his resignation. Consequently, Executive acknowledges and agrees that he shall not be granted any awards under the 2006 Incentive Plan if it is approved by the Company’s shareholders.
 
  6.   Automobile. Section 2.4 of Article II of the Employment Agreement provides that, within 15 days following the Executive’s voluntary termination of employment, the Bank will transfer to the Executive title to the Bank automobile that he is using at the time his employment terminates. To comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the parties agree that the Executive’s right to title to such automobile is terminated. In lieu of such right, the parties agree that the Bank shall provide the Executive with a cash lump sum payment in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes on such payment (assuming Executive is in the highest marginal state and federal income tax brackets), the Executive retains an amount equal to the fair market value, as of the Early Retirement and Resignation Date, of the Bank automobile used by the Executive. The Bank shall pay such lump sum amount to the Executive on the first business day that is at least six months after the Early Retirement and Resignation Date. The parties agree that the Executive shall have the right to purchase from the Bank the Bank automobile he is using at the time of his Early Retirement and Resignation Date. The purchase price shall be the automobile’s fair market value on the date of purchase.
 
  7.   Release. In consideration of the Bank’s performance of its promises in this Agreement, the Executive hereby releases the Bank, the Company, their subsidiaries and affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, agents, predecessors and successors from any and all claims that the Executive might have arising out of his employment and the termination thereof arising prior to the time the Executive signs this Agreement, with the exception of (a) Executive’s rights to receive vested benefits to which the

-3-


 

Executive is entitled after the Early Retirement and Resignation Date under any qualified or nonqualified employee benefits plans and arrangements of the Company and Bank, (b) claims for indemnification as provided under applicable law, any applicable insurance policies (e.g., directors and officers insurance), the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Bank, the Company, or any affiliate, or any applicable policy statements or indemnification agreements with the Bank or any of its affiliates, and (c) obligations owed to the Executive under this Agreement, the Employment Agreement, the SERP, or the ESOP. The claims that are being released include, but are not limited to, claims for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, harassment, unlawful terms and conditions of employment, retaliation, defamation, invasion of privacy, discrimination (including, but not limited to, discrimination on the basis of age under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and state and local law), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any other claims that might be brought under any federal, state or local law or regulation that regulates the employment relationship or employee benefits, whether such claims are known or unknown to the Executive at the time the Executive signs this Agreement. The Bank, the Company, their subsidiaries and affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, agents, predecessors and successors hereby release the Executive from any and all claims that they might have arising out of or relating to acts or omissions by the Executive prior to the time the Bank signs this Agreement, excepting only any claims arising out of intentionally wrongful illegal conduct by the Executive.
  8.   Acknowledgments. Each party acknowledges entering into this Agreement knowingly, freely and voluntarily. The Executive acknowledges that:
  (a)   he has been and is hereby advised by the Bank to consult with legal counsel before signing this Agreement;
 
  (b)   he has 21 days from the date of his receipt of this Agreement within which to consider it;
 
  (c)   he understands that this Agreement includes a final general release of the Bank, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, agents, predecessors and successors, for any and all claims described in paragraph 6 up to the date that this Agreement is signed; and
 
  (d)   he may, within 7 calendar days following the date of his execution of this Agreement, revoke this Agreement by giving written notice

-4-


 

of his intent to revoke to William F. Bruss, General Counsel, Wauwatosa Savings Bank. This Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until this 7-day revocation period has expired. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE WITH REGARD TO THIS PARAGRAPH.
  9.   Representation. Each party represents and acknowledges that in executing this Agreement, such party has not relied upon any representation or statement not set forth herein made by the other party or any of the other party’s agents, representatives or employees with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this Agreement. The Bank represents and warrants that it has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations required to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, that they are in full force and effect as of the date hereof, and that this Agreement is a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Bank in accordance with its terms.
 
  10.   Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect or impair the validity or enforceability of any other provision and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained herein.
 
  11.   Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto and completely supersedes any prior agreements or understandings between the parties. It may be amended only by an agreement in writing signed by both parties. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
