Article: Anchor's quarterly loss bigger than initially reported Restatement comes amid pressure from regulators

By PAUL GORES

The parent company of AnchorBank said Friday it is restating its most recent quarterly results to report a loss of $65 million to $75 million -- up to six times worse than the firm initially reported.

Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. said the loss grew as it reclassified some of its delinquent loans and re-evaluated how much money to add to reserves to cover bad loans.

In late July, Anchor reported a loss of $11.8 million for the first quarter of its fiscal year. On Friday, Anchor said its loss for the quarter now will total as much as $75 million. It said it expects to have a final figure by Sept. 25.

Executives at Madison-based Anchor couldn't be reached for comment Friday night.
