NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wauwatosa Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company’s subsidiaries.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and the instructions to Form 10-Q. The financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

The preparation of the unaudited 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 and assumptions include the allowance for loan losses and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 — Reclassifications

Certain items in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the March 31, 2008 presentation.

Table of Contents

The amortized cost and fair values of investment securities by contractual maturity at March 31, 2008, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

	Amortized		Fair
	Cost		Value
	(In Thousands)
Due within one year	$	5,493		5,565
Due after one year through five years		7,807		8,138
Due after five years through ten years		1,353		1,383
Due after ten years		25,652		24,927
Mortgage-related securities		141,133		140,813
Other securities		250		250
	$	181,688		181,076

Gross unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale and the fair value of the related securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, were as follows:

	March 31, 2008
	Less than 12 months					12 months or longer					Total
	Fair		Unrealized			Fair		Unrealized			Fair		Unrealized
	value		loss			value		loss			value		loss
	(In Thousands)
Mortgage backed securites	$	7,527		(35	)		—		—			7,527		(35	)
Collateralized mortgage obligations		28,288		(1,284	)		18,725		(775	)		47,013		(2,059	)
Municipal securities		16,618		(909	)		1,379		(6	)		17,997		(915	)
	$	52,433		(2,228	)		20,104		(781	)		72,537		(3,009	)

There are eight collateralized mortgage obligation securities and one municipal security at March 31, 2008 which have been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer. Because the decline in fair value of all aforementioned securities is not attributable to credit deterioration, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

Securities Held-to-Maturity

As of March 31, 2008, the Company held three securities that have been designated as held-to-maturity. The securities have a total amortized cost of $9.9 million and an estimated fair value $9.6 million. Each security is callable quarterly, two beginning in the first quarter of 2009 with a final maturity in 2022. The remaining security is callable beginning in the first quarter of 2009 with a final maturity in 2023.

The $65 million in advances due in 2017 consist of three callable advances. The call features are as follows: two $25 million advances at a weighted average rate of 3.12% callable quarterly until maturity and a $15 million advance at a rate of 3.46% callable until maturity.

The $84 million in repurchase agreements include quarterly call options beginning in 2009. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities available for sale with an estimated fair value of $89.5 million at March 31, 2008.

The Company selects loans that meet underwriting criteria established by the FHLBC as collateral for outstanding advances. The Company’s FHLB borrowings are limited to 75% of the carrying value of qualifying, unencumbered one- to four-family mortgage loans. In addition, these advances are collateralized by FHLBC stock of $19.7 million at March 31, 2008 and $19.3 million at December 31, 2007.

Note 8 – Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Off-balance sheet financial instruments or obligations whose contract amounts represent credit and/or interest rate risk are as follows:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2008		2007
	(In Thousands)
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent
potential credit risk:
Commitments to extend credit under first mortgage loans	$	35,331		16,674

Unused portion of business lines of credit		11,649		8,721
Standby letters of credit		2,283		2,337

In connection with its mortgage banking activities, the Company enters into forward loan sale commitments. Forward commitments to sell mortgage loans represent commitments obtained by the Company from a secondary market agency to purchase mortgages from the Company at specified interest rates and within specified periods of time. Commitments to sell loans are made to mitigate interest rate risk on commitments to originate loans and loans held for sale. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had $20.3 million and $23.1 million, respectively in forward loan sale commitments. A forward sale commitment is a derivative instrument under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (“SFAS No. 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (as amended), which must be recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet in other assets and other liabilities with changes in its value recorded in income from mortgage banking operations. In determining the fair value of its derivative loan commitments for economic purposes, the Company considers the value that would be generated when the loan arising from exercise of the loan commitment is sold in the secondary mortgage market. That value includes the price that the loan is expected to be sold for in the secondary mortgage market.

Note 9 – Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings 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. Nonvested restricted stock is considered outstanding for dilutive earnings per share only. Nonvested restriced stock and stock options at March 31, 2008 are antidilutive and are excluded from the earnings per share calculation.

Presented below are the calculations for basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and provides a hierarchical disclosure framework for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations. Presented below is information about assets recorded on our consolidated statement of financial position at fair value on a recurring basis and assets recorded in our consolidated statement of financial position on a nonrecurring basis.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents information about our assets recorded in our consolidated statement of financial position at their fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability , either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets where there are few transactions and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

	Assets Measured at Fair Value at March 31, 2008		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
	(In Thousands)

Available for sale securities	$	181,076		-		174,655		6,421

The following summarizes the valuation techniques for assets recorded in our consolidated statement of financial position at their fair value on a recurring basis:

Available for sale securities – The fair value of available-for-sale securities is determined by a third party valuation source using observable market data utilizing a matrix or multi-dimensional relational pricing model. Standard inputs to these models include observable market data such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities and bid/offer market data. For securities with an early redemption feature, an option adjusted spread model is utilized to adjust the issuer spread. Prepayment models are used for mortgage related securities with prepayment features.

The table below presents a reconciliation for all assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during 2008.

Level 3 available-for sale securities includes a single corporate collateralized mortgage obligation. At March 31, 2008, this security was valued by obtaining indicative market pricing quotes from active brokers.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Loans – On a non-recurring basis, loans determined to be impaired are analyzed to determine whether a collateral shortfall exists, and if such a shortfall exists, are recorded in our consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. Fair value is determined based on third party appraisals. At March 31, 2008, loans determined to be impaired with an outstanding balance of $42.1 million were carried net of specific reserves of $7.5 million for a fair value of $34.6 million.

Loans held for sale - On a non-recurring basis, loans held for sale are recorded in our consolidated statement of financial position at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is generally determined by estimating a gross premium or discount, which is derived from pricing currently observable in the market. Loans held for sale are considered to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques.

Real estate owned – On a non-recurring basis, real estate owned, is recorded in our consolidated statement of financial position at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is determined based on third party appraisals obtained at the time the Company takes title to the property and, if less than the carrying value of the loan, the carrying value of the loan is adjusted to the fair value. Real estate owned is considered to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques.

Note 11 – Recent Accounting Developments

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised December 2007), Business Combinations , which replaces FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations.” This statement requires an acquirer to recognize identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their full fair values at that date, with limited exceptions. Assets and liabilities assumed that arise from contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date must also be measured at their acquisition-date full fair values. SFAS 141R requires the acquirer to recognize goodwill as of the acquisition date, and in the case of a bargain purchase business combination, the acquirer shall recognize a gain. Acquisition-related costs are to be expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred

and the services are received. Additional presentation and disclosure requirements have also been established to enable financial statement users to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS 141R is to be applied prospectively for acquisition dates on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt SFAS 141R when required in 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements . SFAS 160 requires noncontrolling interests to be treated as a separate component of equity, rather than a liability or other item outside of equity. This statement also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the income statement. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest, as long as the parent retains a controlling financial interest, must be accounted for as equity transactions, and should a parent cease to have a controlling financial interest, SFAS 160 requires the parent to recognize a gain or loss in net income. Expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements are required by this statement and must clearly identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is to be applied prospectively for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with the exception of presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company will adopt SFAS 160 when required in 2009 and is in the process of assessing the impact on its results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities . SFAS 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires (1) qualitative disclosures about objectives for using derivatives by primary underlying risk exposure (e.g., interest rate, credit or foreign exchange rate) and by purpose or strategy (fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, net investment hedge, and non-hedges), (2) information about the volume of derivative activity in a flexible format that the preparer believes is the most relevant and practicable, (3) tabular disclosures about balance sheet location and gross fair value amounts of derivative instruments, income statement and other comprehensive income location of gain and loss amounts on derivative instruments by type of contract, and (4) disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company will adopt SFAS 160 when required in 2009 and is in the process of assessing the impact on its results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This report contains or incorporates by reference various forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s prospects that are based on the current expectations and beliefs of management. Forward-looking statements may also be made by the Company from time to time in other reports and documents as well as in oral presentations. When used in written documents or oral statements, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “objective” and similar expressions and verbs in the future tense, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The statements contained herein and such future statements involve or may involve certain assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that could cause the Company’s actual results and performance to differ materially from what is expected. In addition to the assumptions and other factors referenced specifically in connection with such statements, the following factors could impact the business and financial prospects of the Company:

inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;

legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business;

our ability to enter new markets successfully and take advantage of growth opportunities;

general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected;

significantly increased competition among depository and other financial institutions;

adverse changes in the securities markets;

adverse changes in the real estate markets;

changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies and the Financial Accounting Standards Board; and

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits.

See also the factors referred to in reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (particularly those under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K).

Overview

Generally, our results of operations depend on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on loans receivable, investment securities and cash and cash equivalents and the interest we pay on deposits and other borrowings. The Company’s banking subsidiary, Wauwatosa Savings Bank (“Wauwatosa Savings”), is primarily a mortgage lender with such loans comprising 97.8% of total loans receivable on March 31, 2008. Further, 79.2% of loans receivable are residential mortgage loans with over four-family loans comprising 32.5% of all loans on March 31, 2008. Wauwatosa Savings funds loan production primarily with retail deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. On March 31, 2008, deposits comprised 68.6% of total liabilities. Time deposits, also known as certificates of deposit, accounted for 84.3% of total deposits at March 31, 2008. Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding on March 31, 2008 totaled $383.1 million, or 24.3% of total liabilities.

Table of Contents

Our results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 have been significantly affected by the Federal Reserve’s aggressive reduction of short term interest rates and the concurrent steepening of the yield curve.

Our results of operations also are affected by our provision for loan losses, net interest income, noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income consists primarily of service charges and mortgage banking fee income. Noninterest expense consists primarily of compensation and employee benefits and occupancy expenses. Our results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, our results of operation were adversely affected by deterioration in our asset quality resulting in increases in our non-accrual loans and real estate owned and a corresponding increase in loan charge-offs. As a consequence we determined that significant additional provisions for loan losses were warranted. As discussed below, during the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company significantly increased its provision for loan losses to $2.7 million from $350,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Additional information regarding loan quality and its impact on our financial condition and results of operations can be found in the Asset Quality discussion beginning on page 29 .

The following discussion and analysis is presented to assist the reader in the understanding and evaluation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. It is intended to complement the unaudited consolidated financial statements, footnotes, and supplemental financial data appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction therewith. The detailed discussion focuses on the results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and the financial condition as of March 31, 2008 compared to the financial condition as of December 31, 2007.

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 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 net realizable 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; 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 at least 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.

Table of Contents

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, state and 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.

Income Taxes. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The provision for income taxes is based upon income in the consolidated financial statements, rather than amounts reported on the income tax return. 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 as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

Positions taken in the Company’s tax returns may be subject to challenge by the taxing authorities upon examination. Uncertain tax positions are initially recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are both initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not of being realized upon settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. Interest and penalties on income tax uncertainties are classified within income tax expense in the income statement.

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. If our estimated valuation allowance is too high or too low it will affect our future net income. Net deferred tax assets totaled $10.5 million and $9.7 million on March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there was a valuation allowance of $244,000, net of $131,000 federal income tax benefit, related to the deferred tax asset recognized for the Wisconsin charitable contribution deduction carryforward. 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 Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

General - Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled $609,000, or $0.02 for both basic and diluted earnings per share compared to net income of $2.1 million , or $0.06 for both basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The quarter ended March 31, 2008 generated an annualized return on average assets of 0.14% and an annualized return on average equity of 1.22%, compared to returns of 0.52% and 3.58%, respectively, for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in net income was due to a $2.3 million increase in provisions for loan losses, a $273,000 decrease in net interest income and a $194,000 increase in noninterest expense offset by $1.3 million decrease in income taxes. The increase in the provision for loan losses was the direct result of an increase in loan charge-offs and an increase in specific loan losses attributable to impaired loans. Loan charge-off activity and specific loan reserves are discussed in additional detail in the Asset Quality section beginning on page 29. The net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was 2.03% compared to 2.27% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Table of Contents

Total Interest Income - Total interest income increased $1.0 million, or 4.3%, to $24.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Interest income on loans increased $556,000, or 2.6%, to $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $21.3 million for the comparable period of 2007. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $51.8 million, or 3.7%, in the average loan balance to $1.44 billion during the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 from $1.38 billion during the comparable period in 2007. The increase in average balance was partially offset by a 14 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans to 6.11% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 from 6.25% for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in average yield on loans was significantly impacted by non-accrual loans. Unrecognized interest income on non-accrual loans increased by $975,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. This had the effect of reducing the average yield on loans for the quarter by seven basis points. Unrecognized interest income on non-accrual loans increased by $476,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 effectively reducing the average yield on loans for that period by three basis points.

In addition, interest income from mortgage-related securities increased $557,000, or 44.1%, to $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1.3 million for the comparable quarter in 2007. This was primarily due to the increase of $36.5 million, or 37.4%, in the average balance to $134.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $97.6 million during the comparable period in 2007. The increase in interest income reflects an increase in the average balance of mortgage-related securities as well as a 20 basis point increase in the average yield on mortgage-related securities to 5.45% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 from 5.25% for the comparable period in 2007. Finally, interest income from debt securities, federal funds sold and short-term investments decreased $111,000, or 11.2%, to $877,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $988,000 for the comparable period in 2007. This was due to a 124 basis point decrease in the average yield on other earning assets to 3.35% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 from 4.59% for the comparable period in 2007, partially offset by an increase of $17.7 million, or 20.3%, in the average balance of other earning assets to $105.1 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 from $87.4 million during the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in average yield on other earning assets results primarily from a decline in dividends received on the Company’s FHLB stock. The FHLBC stock yielded a return of 3.16% during the three months ended March 31, 2007, however, no dividend was received during the three months ended March 31, 2008. On October 10, 2007, the FHLBC entered into a consensual cease and desist order with its regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Board. Under the terms of the order, dividend declarations are subject to the prior written approval of the Federal Housing Finance Board. The FHLBC has not declared a dividend since it entered into the cease and desist order.

Total Interest Expense - Total interest expense increased by $1.3 million, or 8.6%, to $16.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $14.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was the result of an increase an increase in average interest bearing deposits and borrowings outstanding.

Interest expense on deposits increased $40,000, or 0.4%, to $11.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $11.0 million during the comparable period in 2007. This was due to an increase of $24.9 million, or 2.4%, in the average balance of other interest bearing deposits to $1.05 billion during the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 from $1.02 billion during the comparable period in 2007. The increase in interest expense attributable to the increase in average balance was partially offset by a decrease in the cost of total average deposits of 13 basis points to 4.23% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to 4.36% for the comparable period during 2007. The decrease in the cost of deposits reflects the lower interest rate environment occasioned by the Federal Reserve’s reduction of short term interest rates which are the basis for determining the market rate for deposit interest rates.

Interest expense on borrowings increased $1.2 million, or 32.6%, to $5.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $3.8 million during the comparable period in 2007. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in average borrowings outstanding of $125.3 million, or 36.2%, to $471.3 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 from $346.0 million during the comparable period in 2007. The increase in average borrowings was partially offset by a 15 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowings to 4.18% during the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 from 4.33% during the comparable period in 2007.The increased use of borrowings as a source of funding during the year ended December 31, 2007 and the early portion of the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was due to favorable rates and terms compared to alternate funding sources including retail and wholesale deposits.

Net Interest Income - Net interest income decreased by $273,000 or 3.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease resulted primarily from a 7 basis point decrease in our net interest rate spread to 1.67% for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 from 1.74% for the comparable period in 2007. The 7 basis point decrease in the net interest rate spread resulted from a 21 basis point decrease in the yield on interest earning assets, which was partially offset by a 14 basis point decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities. The decrease in net interest income resulting from a decrease in our net interest rate spread was compounded by a decrease in net average earning assets of $43.5 million, or 23.2%, to $143.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 from $187.4 million from the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in net average earning assets was primarily attributable to the repurchase of outstanding Company common stock throughout the year ended December 31, 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses - Provision for loan losses increased $2.3 million to $2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $350,000 during the comparable period during 2007. The increased provision for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was the result of $758,000 of net loan charge-offs, specific loss provisions and a continued increase in non-performing assets. See Asset Quality section beginning on page 29 for an analysis of charge-offs, non-performing assets specific reserves and additional provisions.

Noninterest Income - Total noninterest income increased $124,000, or 7.7%, to $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $1.6 million during the comparable period in 2007. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in mortgage banking income generated by our Waterstone Mortgage Corporation subsidiary.

Noninterest Expense - Total noninterest expense increased $194,000, or 2.9%, to $7.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $6.8 million during the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily the result of increase in real estate owned expense and data processing expense, offset by decreases in compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits and advertising expense.

Compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefit expense decreased $175,000, or 4.4%, to $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $4.0 million during the comparable period in 2007. This decrease resulted primarily from a reduction in expense related to the ESOP plan in addition to a reduction in salaries. Expense related to the Company’s ESOP plan decreased $103,000, or 30.7%, to $233,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $336,000 during the comparable period in 2007. This decrease is directly related to the decrease in the Company’s average share price during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to the comparable period in 2007. Salary expense decreased by $80,000, or 3.0% to $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $2.7 million during the comparable period in 2007. Salary expense decreased as a result of a decrease in the overall level of full-time equivalent employees.

Advertising expense decreased $109,000, or 39.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $164,000 from $273,000 during the comparable period in 2007. The Company has scaled back its advertising efforts during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Advertising activity is expected to increase later in 2008 in connection with the marketing of the new Bank name, WaterStone Bank SSB.

Data processing expense increased $129,000, or 54.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $368,000 from $239,000 during the comparable period in 2007. The increase in data processing expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the comparable period in 2007 was due to increased usage of services offered by our core data processing service provider partially offset by a reduction in the use of other third party information technology consultants and service providers.

Real estate owned expense totaled $383,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. There was no comparable expense during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Real estate owned expense includes the net gain or loss recognized upon the sale of a foreclosed property, as well as the operating and carrying costs related to the properties. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, operational expenses totaled $454,000 and net gains on sales totaled $71,000. The increase in expense compared to the comparable prior period results from an increase in the number and total cost basis of foreclosed properties. Real estate owned totaled $9.8 million at March 31, 2008 and $733,000 at March 31, 2007.

Income Taxes - The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008 provided a 17.3% benefit as compared to a 34.6% expense for the comparable period during 2007. The change between first quarter 2007 pre-tax income and 2008 income tax benefit was the result of a combination of a federal effective tax rate of 11.1% and an effective state benefit of 28.3%. The low federal rate is the result of low consolidated pre-tax income due to the high loan loss provision. The state tax benefit is the result of pre-tax losses generated by high loan loss provisions for the Wisconsin banking subsidiary. It is anticipated that these benefits will be realized in future periods.

Net Income - As a result of the foregoing factors, net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $1.5 million, or 71.0%, to $609,000, from $2.1 million during the comparable period in 2007.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007

Total Assets - Total assets increased by $67.2 million, or 3.9%, to $1.78 billion at March 31, 2008 from $1.71 billion at December 31, 2007. The increase in total assets is reflected in increases in cash and cash equivalents of $18.8 million, increases in securities available for sale and held to maturity of $11.2 million, and an increase in loans receivable of $34.1 million.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents increased by $18.8 million to $36.7 million at March 31, 2008 from $17.9 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in cash and cash equivalents funded primarily by an increase in time deposits.

Securities Available for Sale – Securities available for sale increased by $8.9 million, or 5.2%, to $181.1 million at March 31, 2008 from $172.1 million at December 31, 2007. The Company invested an additional $10.0 million in its Nevada investment subsidiary during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The investment subsidiary used the proceeds of the capital infusion to purchase additional mortgage-related securities.

Securities Held to Maturity – Securities held to maturity increased by $2.3 million, or 30.0%, to $9.9 million at March 31, 2008 from $7.6 million at December 31, 2007. A portion of the Company’s proceeds of the capital infusion in its Nevada investment subsidiary were used to increase the subsidiary’s held-to-maturity portfolio. These higher yield structured notes accrue interest based on the range of a constant maturity treasury yield spread and therefore have a higher potential for market value volatility. As the Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities until maturity, they have been classified as held-to-maturity rather than as available-for-sale.

Loans Held for Sale – Loans held for sale decreased by $2.8 million, or 12.2%, to $20.3 million at March 31, 2008, from $23.1 million at December 31, 2007. Fluctuations in the balance of loans held for sale result primarily from the timing of loan closings and sales to third parties.

Loans Receivable - Loans receivable increased $34.1 million, or 2.4%, to $1.44 billion at March 31, 2008 from $1.40 billion at December 31, 2007. Loans receivable increased by $4.1 million, or 0.3%, during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The 2008 total increase in loans receivable was primarily attributable to a $31.6 million increase in one –to four-family loans and a $12.2 million increase in over four-family loans and a $4.4 million increase in commercial business, offset by a $13.3 million decrease in construction and land loans. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, $4.7 million in loans were transferred to real estate owned.

The following table shows loan origination, principal repayment and sales activity during the periods indicated.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance – Cash surrender value of life insurance increased $5.2 million, or 20.4%, to $30.9 million at March 31, 2008 from $25.6 million at December 31, 2007. A new $5 million bank owned life insurance contract was executed in the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Deposits – Total deposits increased $86.2 million, or 8.7%, to $1.08 billion at March 31, 2008 from $994.5 million at December 31, 2007. Total time deposits increased $84.8 million, or 10.3%, to $911.0 million from $826.2 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in time deposits resulted from the promotion of competitive rates on both the local retail and non-local wholesale markets. Time deposits originated through local retail outlets increased $51.4 million, or 6.3%, to $863.3 million at March 31, 2008 from $811.9 million at December 31, 2007. Time deposits originated through the wholesale market increased $33.4 million, to $47.7 million at March 31, 2008 from $14.3 million at December 31, 2007. Total money market and savings deposits increased $6.2 million, or 5.5%, to $120.6 million at March 31, 2008 from $114.4 million at December 31, 2007. Partially offsetting the increase in time and money market and

savings deposits, total demand deposits decreased $4.1 million, or 7.7%, to $49.1 million at March 31, 2008 from $53.2 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in money market account balances included amounts transferred from existing demand accounts.

Borrowings – Total borrowings decreased $8.4 million, or 1.8%, to $467.1 million at March 31, 2008 from $475.5 million at December 31, 2007. The overall decrease in borrowings at March 31, 2008 was a result of a decrease of $17.7 million in FHLB advances and a decrease of $5.7 million in short-term federal funds borrowed, partially offset by a new $15.0 million FHLB advance at a rate of 2.73%, due in January 2018 and with quarterly calls beginning in April 2008.

Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes - Advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance increased $7.8 million to $8.4 million at March 31, 2008 from $607,000 at December 31, 2007. The increase was the result of payments received from borrowers for their real estate taxes and is seasonally normal, as balances increase during the course of the calendar year until real estate tax obligations are paid out in the fourth quarter.

Other Liabilities - Other liabilities decreased $19.2 million, or 50.7%, to $18.6 million at March 31, 2008 from $37.8 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease, which is seasonally normal, was primarily due to a decrease in amounts due to mortgage holders related to advance payments by borrowers for taxes. The Company receives payments from borrowers for their real estate taxes during the course of the calendar year until real estate tax obligations are paid out in the fourth quarter. These amounts remain classified as other liabilities until paid. The balance of these outstanding checks was $579,000 at March 31, 2008 and $17.4 million at December 31, 2007.

Shareholders’ Equity – Shareholders’ equity increased $837,000 million, or 0.4%, to $202.7 million at March 31, 2008 from $201.8 million at December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily a result of net income recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2008, which totaled $609,000. In addition, shareholders’ equity increased by $670,000 due to the net impact of employee benefits including ESOP, incentive stock options and restricted stock awards. This increase was partially offset by a $442,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is the estimated unrealized loss attributable to the decline in market value of available-for-sale investment securities.

Non-accrual loans:

Total non-accrual loans to total assets		4.95	%		4.70	%
Total non-performing assets to total assets		5.51	%		5.20	%

Total non-accrual loans increased by $7.7 million to $88.1 million as of March 31, 2008, compared to $80.4 million as of December 31, 2007. The ratio of non-accrual loans to total loans at March 31, 2008 was 6.13% compared to 5.73% at December 31, 2007. All categories of loans with the exception of one- to four-family loans experienced an increase in non-accrual loans. The $7.7 million increase in non-accrual loans between December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, primarily relates to three borrowers. The first is a $3.8 million relationship with a borrower who has fifteen loans that are secured by one- to four-family, over four-family and commercial real estate properties. Based upon a review of the underlying collateral, the Company has determined that the value of the properties is not sufficient to allow for the recovery of the outstanding balance. As a result, a $168,000 specific reserve has been established with respect to this relationship. The second lending relationship that has contributed to the increase in non-accrual loans is an individual with two loans totaling $3.3 million. The Company believes that the collateral, which consists of commercial real estate and land, is adequate to recover the outstanding principal balance of each of the loans, should the borrower cease efforts to return the loan to a performing status. The third is a $1.9 million relationship with borrower with a loan secured by land to be used for residential development. Based upon a review of the underlying collateral, management has determined that the value is adequate to recover the outstanding principal balance of each of the loans, should the borrower cease efforts to return the loan to a performing status.

Table of Contents

Of the $88.1 million in total non-accrual loans as of March 31, 2008, the Company has determined that $36.8 million represent loans in which the estimated realizable value of the underlying collateral is not sufficient to allow for the recovery of the outstanding balance. As a result of this collateral shortfall, the Company recorded charge-offs totaling $291,000 and specific reserves totaling $6.5 million. Based upon its review of the remaining $51.3 million in non-accrual loans, the Company believes that the value of the underlying collateral securing these loans is adequate to recover the outstanding principal balance of each of the loans, should the respective borrower cease efforts to return the loan to a performing status.

Of the $88.1 million in total non-accrual loans as of March 31, 2008, $26.6 million related to two borrower relationships. The first is a $17.9 million relationship with a borrower who has twenty loans that are all secured by multi-family properties. Based upon a review of the underlying collateral, the Company has determined that the value of the properties is not sufficient to allow for the recovery of the outstanding balance. As a result, a $2.0 million specific reserve has been established with respect to this relationship. The second is a relationship with a borrower that has twelve loans totaling $8.7 million. The Company believes that the collateral, which consists of two- to four-family and multifamily rental units, is not sufficient to recover the outstanding principal balance of each of the loans, should the borrower cease efforts to return the loan to a performing status. As a result, a $380,000 specific reserve has been established with respect to this relationship. In addition to the two borrower relationships noted previously, a significant portion of total non-accrual loans relates to a number of lending relationships with small real estate investors, whose collateral consists of non-owner occupied one- to four-family properties. As of March 31, 2008, $17.7 million relates to this general category. Based upon a review of the underlying collateral, the Company has determined that the value of the properties related to these loans is not sufficient to allow for the recovery of the outstanding balance. As a result, a $2.0 million specific reserve has been established with respect to this general category of borrowers.

Total real estate owned increased by $1.2 million, or 14.6%, to $9.8 million as of March 31, 2008, compared to $8.5 million as of December 31, 2007. The entire $1.2 million increase relates to one- to four-family properties, the majority of which were non-owner occupied properties repossessed from small real estate investors. Of the $9.8 million in total real estate owned as of March 31, 2008, $4.2 million represented non-owner occupied one- to four-family properties owned by small real estate investors, $1.9 million related to a single lending relationship, consisting of three notes collateralized by two parcels of undeveloped land that was to have been developed into residential real estate and $1.0 million related to a number of borrowers who contracted to construct single-family homes on a speculative basis, using a common contractor. Foreclosed properties are recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value with charge-offs, if any, charged to the allowance for loan losses upon transfer to real estate owned. The fair value is primarily based upon updated appraisals in addition to an analysis of current real estate market conditions. Upon foreclosure and transfer to real estate owned the Company recognized approximately $881,000 in charge-offs related to these properties during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

_______________

Net charge-offs totaled $758,000, or 0.25% of average loans for the three months ended March 31, 2008 on an annualized basis, compared to $301,000, or 0.09% of average loans for the comparable period in 2007. Of the $758,000 in net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2008, approximately $503,000 related to loans secured by one- to four-family loans. The vast majority of charge-offs in this category relate to losses sustained on properties owned and managed by small real estate investors. An additional $243,000 in net charge-offs related to construction and land loans. Of this total, approximately $218,000 related to loans made to a number of borrowers to finance single-family speculative home construction using a common contractor. The contractor was unable to deliver according to plan and the borrowers were unable to cover cost over runs. The charge-offs are based on either “as is” or “as completed” updated appraisals.

Table of Contents

The allowance for loan loss totaled $14.8 million or 1.03% of loans outstanding as of March 31, 2008 compared to $12.8 million or 0.92% of loans outstanding as of December 31, 2007. Of the $1.9 million, or 15.1% increase during the three months ended March 31, 2008, $1.8 million resulted from the establishment of specific reserves on new and existing non-accrual loans. The increase in specific reserves primarily resulted from estimated collateral shortfalls noted in the one- to four-family loan category related to small real estate investors. The shortfall in value generally results from property mismanagement as well as a softening of the overall real estate market.

The remaining $100,000 increase in the March 31, 2008 allowance for loan losses is attributable to the general valuation allowance intended to cover probable losses in the existing loan portfolio and was based on the increases in actual charge-off experience and in non-performing assets as previously described plus the increase in past due but still performing loans. Total loans past due in excess of 60 days increased $1.5 million, or 1.5%, to $98.8 million as of March 31, 2008, compared to $97.3 million as of December 31, 2007.

The increase in the estimated allowance for loan losses for the period of $1.9 million plus the $758,000 in net charge-offs results in the $2.7 million loan loss provision for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The net increase in the allowance for loan loss is primarily attributable to the increase in non-accrual loans, growth of the overall loan portfolio and an increase in loss experience.

The allowance for loan losses has been determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). We are responsible for the timely and periodic determination of the amount of the allowance required. Future provisions for loan losses will continue to be based upon our assessment of the overall loan portfolio and the underlying collateral, trends in non-performing loans, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. To the best of management’s knowledge, all probable losses have been provided for in the allowance for loan losses.

The establishment of the amount of the loan loss allowance inherently involves judgments by management as to the adequacy of the allowance, which ultimately may or may not be correct. Higher than anticipated rates of loan default would likely result in a need to increase provisions in future years. See “Significant Accounting Policies” above for a discussion on the use of judgment in determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We maintain liquid assets at levels we consider adequate to meet our liquidity needs. Our liquidity ratio averaged 2.3% and 3.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 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 March 31, 2008 was 5.5% and 14.0%, 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 competitors. 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 $50 million in federal funds lines of credit with three commercial banks and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBC).

A portion of our liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, which are a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. At March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, $36.7 million and $17.9 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 FHLBC.

On October 10, 2007, the FHLBC entered into a consensual cease and desist order with its regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Board. Under the terms of the order, capital stock repurchases and redemptions, including redemptions upon membership withdrawal or other termination, are prohibited unless the FHLBC has received approval of the Director of the Office of Supervision of the Federal Housing Finance Board ("OS Director"). The order also provides that dividend declarations are subject to the prior written approval of the OS Director. We currently hold, at cost, $19.7 million of FHLBC stock, all of which we believe we will ultimately be able to recover. Based upon correspondence we received from the FHLBC, also incorporated into FHLBC’s 8-K, there is currently no expectation that this cease and desist order will impact the short- and long-term funding options provided by the FHLBC.

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 three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, loan originations, net of collected principal and transfers to real estate owned, totaled $34.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively, reflecting net growth in our portfolio.

Deposit flows are generally affected by the level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by local competitors, and other factors. Deposits increased by $86.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily as the result of competitive pricing offered in the local market as well as the non-local wholesale market.

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 FHLBC, which provide an additional source of funds. At March 31, 2008, we had $383.1 million in advances from the FHLBC, of which $30.1 million was due within 12 months, and an additional available borrowing limit of $123.5 million based on collateral requirements of the FHLBC. As an additional source of funds, we also enter into repurchase agreements. At March 31, 2008, we had $84.0 million in repurchase agreements. The agreements mature at various times beginning in 2017, however, both all are callable beginning in 2009 and quarterly thereafter.

At March 31, 2008, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $35.3 million, unfunded commitments under construction loans of $25.5 million, unfunded commitments under business lines of credit of $11.6 million and unfunded commitments under lines of credit and standby letters of credit of $32.9 million. At March 31, 2008, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $746.9 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 is not retained by us, we will have to utilize other funding sources, such as FHLBC 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.

Regulatory Capital

Wauwatosa Savings is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank 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, that as of March 31, 2008, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of March 31, 2008 the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized Wauwatosa Savings as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” Wauwatosa Savings 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 Wauwatosa Savings’ category.

As a state-chartered savings bank, Wauwatosa Savings 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 Wauwatosa Savings as of March 31, 2008 are presented in the table below:

Item 3. 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 and other borrowings. 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, the 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.

Income Simulation. Simulation analysis is used to estimate 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 used projected repricing of assets and liabilities at March 31, 2008 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 expected average lives of our assets tend to lengthen more than the expected average lives of our liabilities and, therefore, negatively impact net interest income and earnings.

	Percentage Increase (Decrease) in Estimated Annual Net Interest Income Over 24 Months

300 basis point increase in rates		3.94	%
200 basis point increase in rates		4.71
100 basis point increase in rates		2.65
100 basis point decrease in rates		(9.51	)
200 basis point decrease in rates		(12.89	)
300 basis point decrease in rates		(22.42	)

Table of Contents

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 (0.15%) 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 asset sensitive, income is projected to increase proportionately with increases in interest rates. At March 31, 2008, a 100 basis point immediate and instantaneous increase in interest rates had the effect of increasing estimated net interest income by 2.65% while a 100 basis point decrease in rates had the affect of decreasing net interest income by 9.51%. At March 31, 2008, a 100 basis point immediate and instantaneous increase in interest rates had the effect of increasing the estimated return on assets by 0.04% while a 100 basis point decrease in rates had the effect of decreasing the return on assets by 0.15%. 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.
