PSB Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



NOTE 1 – GENERAL


In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly PSB Holdings, Inc.’s (“PSB”) financial position, results of its operations, and cash flows for the periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries.  All material intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Any reference to “PSB” refers to the consolidated or individual operations of PSB Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary Peoples State Bank.  Dollar amounts are in thousands, except per share amounts.


These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted or abbreviated.  The information contained in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in PSB’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, should be referred to in connection with the reading of these unaudited interim financial statements.


In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.  Estimates that are susceptible to significant change include the determination of the allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing right assets, and the valuation of investment securities.


NOTE 2 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


Under the terms of an incentive stock option plan adopted during 2001, 31,500 shares of unissued common stock were reserved for options to officers and key employees at prices not less than the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant.  These options expire 10 years after the grant date with the first options scheduled to expire beginning in the year 2011.  As of September 30, 2009, 4,281 options were outstanding and eligible to be exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $15.96 per share.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, no options were exercised but options to purchase 195 shares at $15.86 per share lapsed.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, no options were exercised or lapsed.


During 2009, PSB granted 10,416 shares of restricted stock to certain employees at $14.40 per share having a total market value of $150 upon issuance.  During 2008, PSB granted 3,916 shares of restricted stock to certain employees at $25.53 per share having a total market value of $100 upon issuance.  The restricted shares vest to employees based on continued PSB service over a six-year period and are recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period.  Cash dividends are paid on unvested shares at the same time and amount as paid to PSB common shareholders.  Cash dividends paid on unvested restricted stock shares are charged to retained earnings as significantly all restricted shares are expected to vest to employees.  Unvested shares are subject to forfeiture upon employee termination.  During the nine months ended September 30, compensation expense recorded from amortization of restricted shares expected to vest upon the initial vesting date was $18 and $8 during 2009 and 2008, respectively.  As of September 30, 2009, all 14,332 shares of restricted stock remained unvested.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE


Basic earnings per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Unvested but issued restricted shares are considered to be outstanding shares and used to calculate the weighted average number of shares outstanding and determine net book value per share.  Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options.

NOTE 5 – LOANS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES


Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances plus net deferred loan origination costs less loans in process and the allowance for loan losses.


Interest on loans is credited to income as earned.  Interest income is not accrued on loans where management has determined collection of such interest is doubtful or those loans which are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments.  When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest deemed uncollectible is reversed and charged against current income.  After being placed on nonaccrual status, additional income is recorded only to the extent that payments are received or the collection of principal becomes reasonably assured.  Interest income recognition on loans considered to be impaired under current accounting standards is consistent with the recognition on all other loans.


Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized to income over the contractual life of the underlying loan.


The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely.  Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable credit losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable credit losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio.  In accordance with current accounting standards, the allowance is provided for losses that have been incurred as of the balance sheet date.  The allowance is based on past events and current economic conditions, and does not include the effects of expected losses on specific loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or expected changes in economic conditions.  While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions.


The allowance for loan losses includes specific allowances related to loans which have been judged to be impaired as defined by current accounting standards.  A loan is impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that PSB will not collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Management has determined that commercial, financial, agricultural, and commercial real estate loans that have a nonaccrual status or have had their terms restructured meet this definition.  Large groups of homogenous loans, such as residential mortgage and consumer loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Specific allowances are based on discounted cash flows of expected future payments using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.


In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for loan losses.  These agencies may require PSB to make additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments of collectibility based on information available to them at the time of their examination.


Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate and are carried as “Loans held for sale” on the balance sheet.  Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.  Gains and losses on the sale of loans held for sale are determined using the specific identification method using quoted market prices.


NOTE 6 – FORECLOSED ASSETS


Real estate and other property acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair value (after deducting estimated costs to sell) at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis.  Costs related to development and improvement of property are capitalized, whereas costs related to holding property are expensed.  After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management, and the real estate or other property is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in any valuation allowance are included in loss on foreclosed assets.




8





NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES


All derivative instruments are recorded at their fair values.  If derivative instruments are designated as hedges of fair values, both the change in the fair value of the hedge and the hedged item are included in current earnings.  Fair value adjustments related to cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction is reflected in earnings.  Ineffective portions of hedges are reflected in income.


NOTE 8 – CONTINGENCIES


In the normal course of business, PSB is involved in various legal proceedings.  In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.


NOTE 9 – HOLDING COMPANY LINE OF CREDIT


PSB maintains an unsecured line of credit at the parent holding company level with U.S. Bank for advances up to $1 million, which expires February 27, 2010.  The line carries a variable rate of interest based on changes in the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.50%.  As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, no advances were outstanding on the line.


NOTE 10 – SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES


On July 1, 2009, PSB completed its issue of $7,000 of Senior Subordinated Notes (“Notes”) on a private placement basis.  The Notes carry a fixed interest rate of 8.00% paid quarterly maturing on July 1, 2019.  At its option, PSB may prepay the Notes in whole or in part beginning July 1, 2012.  Under current banking regulatory capital rules, for the first five years of the issue PSB may reclassify the Notes as Tier 2 equity capital.  Beginning in the sixth year, the amount eligible to be classified as regulatory capital declines 20% per year until the Note’s final maturity.


NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


Certain assets and liabilities are recorded and disclosed at fair value to provide financial statement users additional insight into PSB’s quality of earnings.  Under current accounting guidance, PSB groups assets and liabilities which are recorded at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.  A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (with Level 1 considered highest and Level 3 considered lowest).  


Following is a brief description of each level of the fair value hierarchy:


Level 1 – Fair value measurement is based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.


Level 2 – Fair value measurement is based on 1) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; 2) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or 3) valuation models and methodologies for which all significant assumptions are or can be corroborated by observable market data.


Level 3 – Fair value measurement is based on valuation models and methodologies that incorporate at least one significant assumption that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.  Level 3 measurements reflect PSB’s estimates about assumptions market participants would use in measuring fair value of the asset or liability.


Some assets and liabilities, such as securities available for sale and loans held for sale, are measured at fair value on a recurring basis under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Other assets



9





and liabilities, such as impaired loans, foreclosed assets, mortgage servicing rights, mortgage rate lock commitments, and guarantee liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.


Following is a description of the valuation methodology used for each asset and liability measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis, as well as the classification of the asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy.


Securities available for sale – Securities available for sale may be classified as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.  Level 1 securities include equity securities traded on a national exchange.  The fair value measurement of a Level 1 security is based on the quoted price of the security.  Level 2 securities include U.S. government and agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, corporate debt securities, and mortgage related securities.  The fair value measurement of a Level 2 security is obtained from an independent pricing service and is based on recent sales of similar securities and other observable market data.  Level 3 securities include trust preferred securities that are not traded in an active market.  The fair value measurement of a Level 3 security is based on a discounted cash flow model that incorporates assumptions market participants would use to measure the fair value of the security.


Loans held for sale – Loans held for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value.  The fair value measurement of a loan held for sale is based on current secondary market prices for similar loans, which is considered a Level 2 measurement.


Loans – Loans are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  However, loans considered to be impaired (see Note 5) are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  The fair value measurement of an impaired loan that is collateral dependent is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral.  All other impaired loan fair value measurements are based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the applicable effective interest rate.  Fair value measurements of underlying collateral that utilize observable market data, such as independent appraisals reflecting recent comparable sales, are considered Level 2 measurements.  Other fair value measurements that incorporate internal collateral appraisals or estimated assumptions market participants would use to measure fair value, such as discounted cash flow measurements, are considered Level 3 measurements.


Foreclosed assets – Real estate and other property acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  Initially, foreclosed assets are recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure.  Valuations are periodically performed by management, and the real estate or other property is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Fair value measurements are based on current formal or informal appraisals of property value compared to recent comparable sales of similar property.  Independent appraisals reflecting comparable sales are considered Level 2 measurements, while internal assessments of appraised value based on current market activity are considered Level 3 measurements.  


Mortgage servicing rights – Mortgage servicing rights are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  However, mortgage servicing rights that are impaired are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  Serviced loan pools are stratified by year of origination and term of the loan, and a valuation model is used to calculate the present value of expected future cash flows for each stratum.  When the carrying value of a stratum exceeds its fair value, the stratum is measured at fair value.  The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as costs to service, a discount rate, custodial earnings rate, ancillary income, default rates and losses, and prepayment speeds.  Although some of these assumptions are based on observable market data, other assumptions are based on unobservable estimates of what market participants would use to measure fair value.  As a result, the fair value measurement of mortgage servicing rights is considered a Level 3 measurement.


Mortgage rate lock commitments – The fair value of mortgage rate lock commitments is not measured on a recurring basis.  Fair value is based on current secondary market pricing for delivery of similar loans and the value of originated mortgage servicing rights on loans expected to be delivered.  Although some of these assumptions are based on observable market data, other assumptions are based on unobservable estimates of what market participants would use to measure fair value.  As a result, the fair value measurement of mortgage rate lock commitments is considered a Level 3 measurement.




10





Guarantee liability – Guarantees by PSB of customer payment obligations to a third party are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs on a nonrecurring basis.  Fair value measurements include fair value of interest rate swaps covered by the guarantee, transaction fees received for offering the guarantee, and the credit risk and performance of the customer for which the guarantee is given.

At September 30, 2009, loans with a carrying amount of $11,906 were considered impaired and were written down to their estimated fair value of $10,708 net of a valuation allowance of $1,198.  At December 31, 2008, loans with a carrying amount of $9,685 were considered impaired and were written down to their estimated fair value of $9,138, net of a valuation allowance of $547.  Changes in the valuation allowances are reflected through earnings as a component of the provision for loan losses.


At September 30, 2009, mortgage servicing rights with a carrying amount of $1,205 were considered impaired and were written down to their estimated fair value of $1,151, resulting in an impairment allowance of $54.  At December 31, 2008, mortgage servicing rights with a carrying amount of $980 were considered impaired and were written down to their estimated fair value of $785, resulting in an impairment charge of $158.  Changes in the impairment allowances are reflected through earnings as a component of mortgage banking income.


PSB estimates fair value of all financial instruments regardless of whether such instruments are measured at fair value.  The following methods and assumptions were used by PSB to estimate fair value of financial instruments not previously discussed.


Cash and cash equivalents - Fair value approximates the carrying value.


Loans – Fair value of variable rate loans that reprice frequently are based on carrying values.  Fair value of other loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings.  Fair value of impaired and other nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted expected future cash flows or the fair value of underlying collateral, if applicable.


Federal Home Loan Bank stock – Fair value is the redeemable (carrying) value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.


Accrued interest receivable and payable – Fair value approximates the carrying value.


Cash value of life insurance – Fair value is based on reported values of the assets by the issuer.


Deposits – Fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposits, savings, and money market accounts, by definition, is the amount payable on demand on the reporting date.  Fair value of fixed rate time deposits is estimated using discounted cash flows applying interest rates currently being offered on similar time deposits.


FHLB advances and other borrowings – Fair value of fixed rate, fixed term borrowings is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which similar borrowings would be made.  Fair value of borrowings with variable rates or maturing within 90 days approximates the carrying value of these borrowings.


Senior subordinated notes and junior subordinated debentures – Fair value of fixed rate, fixed term notes and debentures are estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which similar borrowings would be made.

NOTE 12 – ACCOUNTING CHANGES

FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” On January 1, 2009, new authoritative accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” became applicable to our accounting for business combinations closing on or after January 1, 2009. ASC Topic 805 applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. ASC Topic 805 requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is required to be recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date when the amount of that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable doubt. This fair value approach replaces the cost-allocation process required under previous accounting guidance whereby the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. ASC Topic 805 also requires acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as was previously the case under prior accounting guidance.  Adoption of these accounting changes did not have a material impact to our financial statements.


FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” amends prior guidance to amend and expand the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities to provide greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under ASC Topic 815, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, the new authoritative accounting guidance requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 815 became effective for us on January 1, 2009 but did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” On January 1, 2009, we adopted new authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends (whether paid or unpaid) such as awards to our employees granted under our restricted stock compensation program are considered participating securities and



13





shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Adoption of this new accounting guidance lowered calendar 2008 earnings per share by $.01 as prior period earnings per share are adjusted retrospectively when shown comparatively with 2009 earnings per share.  The following table outlines changes to reported earnings and net book value per share due to the change in accounting.

FASB ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. ASC Topic 855 defines (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855 first became effective for our financial statements issued for the periods ending June 30, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820,”Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction, and clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active. ASC Topic 820 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. The new accounting guidance amended prior guidance to expand certain disclosure requirements. We adopted the new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820 during the second quarter of 2009. Adoption of the new guidance did not significantly impact our financial statements.

Further new authoritative accounting guidance (Accounting Standards Update [“ASU”] No. 2009-5) under ASC Topic 820 provides guidance for measuring the fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available.  In such instances, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value utilizing a valuation technique that uses (i) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset (ii) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assts, or (iii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the existing principles of ASC Topic 820, such as an income or market approach.  The new authoritative accounting guidance also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability.  The forgoing new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820 will be effective of our financial statements beginning October 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

FASB ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 825,”Financial Instruments,” requires an entity to provide disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information and amends prior guidance to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The new interim disclosures required under



14





Topic 825 were first included in the June 30, 2009 financial statements.  Adoption of this new disclosure did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

FASB ASC Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities,” (i) changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Under ASC Topic 320, declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. We adopted the provisions of the new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 320 during the second quarter of 2009. Adoption of the new guidance did not significantly impact our financial statements.

FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 amends prior guidance to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new authoritative accounting guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial statements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 will be effective January 1, 2010 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.


FASB ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” amends prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860 will be effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.


NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


Management has reviewed PSB’s operations for potential disclosure of information or financial statement impacts related to events occurring after September 30, 2009 but prior to the release of these financial statements.  During the period of this review, PSB did incur a loss following the offering of $5.8 million of foreclosed assets at public auction.  At the auction, non-reserved properties with foreclosed cost basis of $3.0 million were sold at a loss of $349 ($211 after tax benefits).  Properties with a cost basis of $2.8 million were offered at the auction subject to a reserve price floor.  None of the reserve properties were sold at the auction due to receiving bids totaling $1.7 million that represented distressed prices not indicative of fair market value.  The reserve properties retained in foreclosed assets will be evaluated for potential write-down based on non-distressed fair value indications during the quarter ended December 31,2009.  Financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, were not restated in light of this subsequent event based on the result of the auction because management believes bids received on properties sold without reserve were distressed prices not indicative of fair value.


Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


The following discussion and analysis is presented to assist in the understanding and evaluation of PSB’s financial condition and results of operations.  It is intended to complement the unaudited financial statements, footnotes, and supplemental financial data appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and should be read in

conjunction therewith.  Dollar amounts are in thousands, except per share amounts.  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q describes the business of PSB Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary Peoples State Bank as in effect on September 30, 2009, and references to “PSB” as well as use of terms like “we” and “our” are references to PSB Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.


Forward-looking statements have been made in this document that are subject to risks and uncertainties.  While we believe these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, all such statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in this report.  The assumptions, risks, and uncertainties relating to the forward-looking statements in this report include those referred to under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 1 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (“2008 Form 10-K”), and, from time to time, in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  We do not intend to update forward-looking statements.  


Executive Overview


September 2009 quarterly net income was $738, or $.47 earnings per diluted share, compared to the most recent June 2009 quarterly net income of $883, or $.57 earnings per diluted share, and the prior year September 2008 quarterly net income of $221, or $.14 earnings per share.  September 2008 quarterly net income was reduced $600 by a write down of our investment in FNMA preferred stock (after tax benefits).  September 2008 quarterly net income would have been $821, or $.53 per share before the write-down. Year to date through September 30, 2009, increased net interest income from asset growth and an improvement in net interest margin as well as higher mortgage banking income has been offset by higher provision for loan losses and FDIC insurance expenses.  Earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $1.68 on net income of $2,627 compared to $1.84 per share on net income of $2,842 during 2008 if the FNMA stock loss was excluded.


Total assets were $586.6 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $570.5 million at December 31, 2008 and $557.8 million at September 30, 2008, increasing $28.8 million or 5.2% during the past twelve months.  Net loans receivable decreased to $433.7 million compared to $434.2 million at the most recent June 30, 2009 quarter due to a $5.8 million increase in foreclosed assets reclassified out of loans receivable during the quarter.  However, net loans have increased $15.3 million, or 3.7%, compared to net loans of $418.4 million at September 30, 2008.  Loan growth during the September 2009 quarter slowed from that seen in the past several quarters as the recession further stressed our local economy reducing growth opportunities from commercial related borrowers with acceptable credit risk.  Year to date, loan growth has come from commercial loans, including commercial real estate loans, while residential mortgage loans held for investment have declined as some borrowers refinanced into the secondary market.  


Total deposits at September 30, 2009 were $443.1 million compared to $427.8 million at December 31, 2008 and $416.8 million at September 30, 2008.  Local deposits grew $12.5 million, or 3.6%, to $358.7 million since September 30, 2008, with the remaining $13.8 million of deposit growth seen in wholesale and brokered deposits.  The increase in brokered deposits has been offset by a reduction in FHLB advances of $13.9 million since September 30, 2008.  All wholesale funding, including brokered deposits, FHLB advances, and other borrowings, to total assets was 28.2%, 27.3%, and 28.9% at September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008, respectively.


Our provision for loan losses was $800 and $285 during the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively.  Year to date, provision for loans losses has been $2,100 and $555 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The provision for loan losses increased dramatically during 2009 from an increase in nonperforming loans as well as internal assessments of currently performing loans with current factors that increase the risk for future delinquency.  Annualized net charge-offs were .25% and .04% of average loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  At September 30, 2009, the allowance for loan losses of $6,801 was 1.54% of total loans compared to 1.28% of total loans at December 31, 2008, and 1.25% of total loans at September 30, 2008.  


Nonperforming assets increased 12.3% to $16,527 compared to the most recent quarter ended June 30, 2009 and have increased $4,668, or 39.4%, since December 31, 2008.  Current nonperforming assets represent



16





approximately 41% of tangible book equity capital compared to 37% of capital at June 30, 2009 and 31% of capital at December 31, 2008.  During the September 2009 quarter, nonperforming loans increased $1.8 million from the addition of new nonaccrual borrowers before reclassification of a large foreclosed property out of nonperforming loans.  Approximately 35% of total nonperforming assets is represented by a property taken in foreclosure during the September 2009 quarter.  This $5.8 million foreclosed asset was sold for a substantial loss at public auction on November 14, 2009.  At the auction, non-reserved properties with foreclosed cost basis of $3.0 million were sold at a loss of $349 ($211 after tax benefits).  Properties with a cost basis of $2.8 million were offered at the auction subject to a reserve price floor.  None of the reserve properties were sold at the auction due to receiving bids totaling $1.7 million that represented distressed prices not indicative of fair market value.  The reserve properties retained in foreclosed assets will be evaluated for potential write-down based on non-distressed fair value indications during the quarter ended December 31,2009.  Financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, were not restated in light of this subsequent event based on the result of the auction because management believes bids received on properties sold without reserve were distressed prices not indicative of fair value.


On July 1, 2009, we completed an issue of $7 million 8% Senior Subordinated Notes and contributed the net proceeds to our subsidiary, Peoples State Bank.  While the Notes are reflected as debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the debt is reclassified as Tier 2 equity for banking regulatory purposes.  Due to this increase in regulatory capital, our total risk adjusted capital ratio increased to 12.61% at September 30, 2009, compared to 10.63% at December 31, 2008.  To retain “well capitalized” status under banking regulation, Peoples State Bank’s total risk adjusted capital ratio must continue to be greater than 10%.  The primary purpose of the Notes was to provide capital required for loan growth, potential future credit losses, and anticipated future higher regulatory capital standards or expectations.


Regarding other government programs made available to support the nation’s banks, we do not expect to sell any of our assets pursuant to the U.S. Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) or to participate in its guarantee program for troubled assets.  We also elected not to participate in the Capital Purchase Program, in which preferred shares and warrants would be issued to the U.S. Treasury, even though we were approved for participation in this program.  We have elected to participate in the Transaction Account Guarantee (“TAG”) Program, just as we participate in all other FDIC deposit insurance programs and will elect to participate in the extension of the TAG Program through June 30, 2010.  Also, we did not issue senior unsecured debt securities under the U.S. Treasury’s Debt Guarantee Program which expired on October 31, 2009.


We regularly maintain access to wholesale markets to fund loan originations and manage fluctuations in local depositor balances.  All wholesale funding, including brokered deposits, FHLB advances, and other borrowings was $165.6 million, $155.5 million, and $161.3 million, at September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008, respectively.  At September 30, 2009, unused (but available) wholesale funding was approximately $237 million, or 40% of total assets, compared to $119 million, or 21% of total assets at December 31, 2008.  The increase in wholesale funding availability during 2009 was due primarily to our acceptance by the Federal Reserve to participate in their “Borrower in Custody” program in which unencumbered performing commercial and commercial real estate loans are pledged against potential short-term Federal Reserve Discount Window advances.


Tax adjusted net interest income totaled $4,337 during the September 2009 quarter compared to $4,375 in the June 2009 quarter and $3,707 in the September 2008 quarter.  Year to date tax adjusted net interest income was $13,028 through September 30, 2009 compared to $11,253 during 2008, an increase of 15.8%.  Approximately $901 of the increase was from growth in earning assets over the prior year period and approximately $874 was from an increase in net interest margin from 2.96% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to 3.19% during 2009.  During the September 2009 quarter, net margin declined to 3.09% from 3.23% during the most recent June 2009 quarter due to lower investment security yields and the cost of new senior subordinated notes issued July 1, 2009.


Current economic conditions have resulted in an increased number of bank failures and, consequently, greater use of Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) resources.  In response, the FDIC raised the premium assessment for 2009 pursuant to a restoration plan designed to increase the DIF reserve ratio to required levels.  Under the



17





FDIC’s restoration plan, the premium assessment rate was raised by seven basis points beginning on January 1, 2009 resulting in a 2009 initial base assessment rate of approximately 14 basis points for Peoples State Bank.  In addition, the FDIC assessed PSB an industry wide special assessment during the June 2009 quarter totaling $264 ($160 after tax benefits).  We expect our 2009 FDIC insurance expense to be many multiples greater than seen during 2008.  Total FDIC insurance expense was $801 and $190 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


Our effective income tax rate increased to 26.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 17.8% during 2008 from two primary factors.  First, Wisconsin’s change to a “combined reporting” method of state franchise tax requires us to pay state franchise tax on income earned on securities held in Peoples State Bank’s Nevada investment subsidiary which was previously not subject to state income taxes.  This change increased the provision for income taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 by approximately $113 compared to state tax regulation in effect during 2008.  Secondly, the FNMA stock loss recorded during 2008 increased the relative percentage of tax exempt investment security and life insurance income to pre-tax income during that period which had the impact of lowering the effective tax rate.  Excluding these two factors, the effective income tax rate would have been approximately 22.8% and 23.6% during 2009 and 2008, respectively.

During the September 2009 quarter, reclassification of a commercial real estate loan of approximately $5.8 million lowered commercial related loan growth while increasing foreclosed assets.  Investment securities grew during the quarter from an increase in unrealized gains in fair value over their amortized cost basis.    During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, commercial and commercial real estate loans grew $15,057, despite the increase of $6,282 in foreclosed assets reclassified from loans (primarily one $5.8 million loan).  Before reclassification of the loans to foreclosed assets, commercial related lending grew 7.9% during the 12 months ending September 30, 2009.  However, commercial loan growth is expected to moderate during the remainder of 2009, continuing a slowdown that began during the September 2009 quarter as the recessionary local economy has decreased potential new commercial borrowers with acceptable credit quality.  


Residential mortgage loans increased slightly during the September 2009 quarter, although the year to date trend has seen a decline in retained residential loans as customers refinanced into the secondary market.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, residential mortgage loans serviced for other investors increased $46 million, or 24.9%, due to refinancing customers as well as an increase in market share.

The substantial increase in core deposits during the September 2009 quarter was driven primarily by an increase in commercial demand and money market deposits of $9,225 and increased Reward Checking deposits (a high rate interest bearing retail checking account) of $4,880.  This quarterly increase in local deposits allowed us to decrease usage of wholesale deposit and FHLB advance funding by $10,568 during the quarter.  However, year to date for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, commercial related loan growth outpaced local deposit growth and has increased usage of net wholesale funding by $5,599.  Due to favorable low rates for brokered certificates of deposits compared to local certificate of deposit funding, retail certificates of deposits (both core deposits and those certificates of deposit > $100) have declined as our local retail rates were lower than some providers in our market.  We expect to see continued run-off at a similar pace during future quarters until brokered certificate of deposit rates approximate local provider rates.

The loan portfolio is our primary asset subject to credit risk.  Our process for monitoring credit risks includes quarterly analysis of loan quality, delinquencies, nonperforming assets, and potential problem loans.  Loans are placed on a nonaccrual status when they become contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments.  All interest accrued but not collected for loans (including applicable impaired loans) that are placed on nonaccrual status or charged off is reversed against interest income.  We apply all payments received on nonaccrual loans to principal until the loan is returned to accrual status.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due have been collected and there is reasonable assurance that repayment according to the contractual terms will continue.


Nonperforming assets increased $1,804, or 12.3%, to $16.5 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $14.7 million at June 2009, and increased $4,668, or 39.4%, compared to $11.9 million at December 31, 2008.  Nonperforming loans declined $5.8 million during the September 2009 quarter due to foreclosure of a large



19





land development loan now reflected as foreclosed assets but increased approximately $1.8 million from the addition of new nonaccrual borrowers.  Excluding the impacts of the $5.8 million foreclosure borrower, nonaccrual loans have increased approximately 24% since June 30, 2009 and 80% since December 31, 2008.  


Upon foreclosure of the large nonperforming loan during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we assigned a net realizable cost basis of $5,809 representing approximately 74% of fair value based on a June 30, 2009 appraisal.   The $5.8 million foreclosed asset was auctioned to the public on November 14, 2009.  At the auction, properties offered absolute (without price reserve) with foreclosed cost basis of $3,004 were sold for net proceeds of $2,655, incurring a loss of sale of foreclosed properties totaling $349, representing approximately 12% of cost basis.  Properties with cost basis of $2,805 were offered at auction subject to reserve price floors.  None of the reserve properties were sold at the auction due to receiving distressed market bids not indicative of fair value totaling $1,730.  The reserve properties retained in foreclosed assets will be evaluated for potential write-down based on non-distressed fair value indications during the quarter ended December 31,2009.  Financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, were not restated in light of this subsequent event based on the result of the auction because management believes bids received on properties sold without reserve were distressed prices not indicative of fair value.


At September 30, 2009, our internal credit grading system identified 21 separate loan relationships totaling $8.6 million against which $1.6 million in specific loan loss reserves were recorded.  Excluding the large foreclosed property discussed previously, at December 31, 2008, our internal credit grading system identified 14 separate loan relationships totaling $1.8 million against which $610 in loan loss reserves were recorded.  We expect to see continued deterioration in credit quality in our commercial portfolio as the local economy contracts and impacts locally owned small to mid market businesses which make up our customer base.  These factors are likely to increase the level of nonperforming assets in future quarters.  


The unemployment rate in our home market of Marathon County, Wisconsin was 8.7% during August 2009, slightly above the state average of 8.4%.  However, we do not expect significant loan charge-offs from our retail loan portfolio of approximately $102 million, of which $57 million are performing, fully disbursed, fixed or adjustable rate first mortgages on local 1 to 4 family homes with average unpaid mortgage principal of approximately $101.  The remaining retail loan portfolio of approximately $45 million represents approximately 10% of gross loans receivable and includes home equity lines of credit, closed end second mortgages, residential construction loans, vacant land loans, and other consumer purpose loans.  As a normal course of business, we did not originate subprime mortgage loans or home equity loans in excess of 100% loan to value.  Our retail loan portfolio is well diversified and does not have any undue geographic, industry, or real estate/land development concentrations which carry significant loss exposure.  For the bank wide portfolio, existing non-performing loans are spread over many different borrowers and industries.  At September 30, 2009, real estate construction and land development loans were approximately 8.6% of total gross loans.


Restructured and nonaccrual loans remain classified as nonperforming loans until the uncertainty surrounding the credit is eliminated.  Therefore, some borrowers continue to make substantially all required payments while maintained on non-accrual status.  We apply all payments received on nonaccrual loans to principal until the loan is returned to accrual status.  At September 30, 2009, $399 of customer interest payments have been recognized as reductions to nonaccrual loan principal.


Local loan demand has traditionally met requirements for loan growth and out of area participation loans we have purchased represent a small portion of the total loan portfolio, currently $16,926, or 3.8% of gross loans.  Many Wisconsin community banks work together on an informal basis to allow customers with credit needs above an individual institution’s legal lending limit to be served by their local community bank as the lead bank after selling portions of the loan to other banks.  From time to time, we will purchase an out of area loan originated by another Wisconsin community bank or Bankers’ Bank, located in Madison, Wisconsin, for this purpose.  In addition, we may sell a portion of a large loan credit for one of our customers to these same community banks to accommodate large loan requests.  At September 30, 2009 nonperforming loans included a participation loan purchased from Bankers’ Bank of Madison, Wisconsin totaling $1,529 with real estate development collateral located outside of Wisconsin.  A $300 specific loss reserve was maintained against that loan at September 30, 2009.

We have guaranteed repayment of a customer’s interest rate swaps and letter of credit to a correspondent bank in exchange for an underwriting fee and a first mortgage lien on real estate.  The total principal amount we have guaranteed totaled $6,198 and $6,853 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.  The letter of credit guarantee expires during 2010, while the swap guarantees expire in 2018 and 2022.  The guarantee liability is carried at cost (equal to the amount of deferred income received), which approximates fair value and totaled $69 and $99 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.  Our customer has made all required payments to the various counterparties associated with the transaction and is considered to represent lower than average credit risk.  The liability is recognized as income on a pro-rata basis over the life of the letter of credit guarantee as loan interest income, while swap guarantee income is recognized as other noninterest income.  Income recognized on all commercial related credit guarantees totaled $29 and $56 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

LIQUIDITY


Liquidity refers to the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet our need for cash at a reasonable cost.  We manage our liquidity to provide adequate funds to support borrowing needs and deposit flow of our customers.  We also view liquidity as the ability to raise cash at a reasonable cost or with a minimum of loss and as a measure of balance sheet flexibility to react to marketplace, regulatory, and competitive changes.  Retail and local deposits are the primary source of funding.  Retail and local deposits were 61.1% of total assets at September 30, 2009, compared to 63.6% of total assets at December 31, 2008, and 62.1% of total assets at September 30, 2008.  This liquidity and funding measure declined during the nine months ended



21





September 30, 2009, as loan growth was funded primarily with wholesale brokered deposits while retail and local time deposits declined.

Money market deposits have increased since December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008 from a program to attract uncollateralized local municipal deposits with above market rates.  Competitive pressures and municipalities looking to make up budgeted interest income shortfalls in the significantly lower interest rate environment have moved funds from low rate collateralized interest bearing demand deposits into higher rate uncollateralized money market deposits.  Since September 30, 2008, lower rate municipal interest bearing deposits have declined $9,476, or 49.0%, while higher rate municipal money market deposits have increased $7,936.  


Despite the decline in municipal interest bearing demand accounts, this account category has continued growth over September 30, 2008 due to increased balances in the Reward Checking product, a high rate interest bearing demand account. Peoples Rewards Checking pays a premium interest rate and reimbursement of ATM fees to depositors who meet account usage requirements including minimum debit card purchases, acceptance of electronic account statements, and direct deposit activity.  The average interest cost of Reward Checking balances (excluding debit card interchange fee income, savings from delivery of electronic periodic statements and software costs of maintaining the program) was 3.01% and 3.68% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


Wholesale funding generally carries higher interest rates than local core deposit funding, so loan growth supported by wholesale funds often generates lower net interest spreads than loan growth supported by local funds.  However, wholesale funds provide us the ability to quickly raise large funding blocks and to match loan terms to minimize interest rate risk and avoid the higher incremental cost to existing deposits from simply increasing retail rates to raise local deposits.  Rates paid on local deposits are significantly impacted by competitor interest rates and the local economy’s ability to grow in a way that supports the deposit needs of all local financial institutions.


Current brokered certificate of deposit rates available to us are less costly than equivalent local deposits as national wholesale funds place a premium on FDIC insurance available on their large deposit when placed with brokers in amounts less than current FDIC insurance limits.  Due to large demand through brokers for these types of deposits, brokered deposit rates for well performing banks are historically low.  In addition, declines in profitability and capital at some banks have reduced their individual availability of wholesale funding or increased its cost.  In many cases, these institutions with reduced wholesale funding access have increased their retail interest rates to gather funds through local depositors.  Consequently, local certificate of deposit rates in many markets are priced higher than equivalent wholesale brokered deposits due to a limited supply of retail deposits.  We expect this difference in pricing between wholesale and local certificates of deposit to be removed by the wholesale funding market as the banking industry becomes well capitalized and



22





regains consistent profits.  The impact of an improving national economy will likely be an increase in wholesale rates relative to local core deposit rates that could increase the volatility of our interest expense due to a significant portion of our funding coming from wholesale sources.


We originate retail certificates of deposit with local depositors under a program known as the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry System (“CDARS”) in which our customer deposits (with participation of other banks in the CDARS network) are able to obtain levels of FDIC deposit insurance coverage in amounts greater than traditional limits.  For purposes of the Period-end Deposit Composition Table above, these certificates are included in retail time deposits $100 and over and totaled $15,670 at September 30, 2009 compared to $14,671 at December 31, 2008, and $13,705 at September 30, 2008.  CDARS balances increased since September 30, 2008 as certain large depositors sought to increase the FDIC insurance coverage on their accounts during the period of significant national financial turmoil experienced after September 2008.  Although classified as retail time deposits $100 and over in the table above, we are required to report these balances as broker deposits on our quarterly regulatory call reports.  


Our internal policy is to limit broker and national time (not including CDARS) deposits to 20% of total assets.  Broker and national deposits as a percentage of total assets was 14.4%, 11.4%, and 12.7% at September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008, respectively.  Brokered deposits continue to fund a significant portion of commercial related loan growth during 2009 as well as providing funds to repay $13,932 of FHLB net advances upon maturity during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Due to borrowing capacity at the FHLB from pay down of prior advances, we expect a mix of brokered deposits and new FHLB advances to provide wholesale funding as needed during the coming quarters.  Beyond these traditional sources of wholesale funding, secondary wholesale sources include Federal Reserve Discount Window advances and pledging of investments securities against repurchase agreements.

(2)Based on our internal policy limit of 20% of total assets.


Wholesale funding availability was reduced during the March 2009 quarter from a reduction in a federal funds availability line offered by a correspondent bank from $10 million to $7 million.  The bank that reduced the line is not our primary correspondent banking relationship and this federal funds purchased line has not been used for many years.  Our primary correspondent bank used for daily cash management purposes provides us an overnight federal funds purchased line up to $12.5 million.  Our federal funds purchased lines are unsecured but are subject to ongoing underwriting by our correspondent banks and are not guaranteed funds.


During the 2009, we were accepted by the Federal Reserve to participate in its Borrower in Custody (“BIC”) Program, which allows us to pledge performing commercial and commercial real estate loans as collateral against Discount Window advances.  This $100 million Discount Window availability significantly increased the amount of unused, but available funding sources other than retail deposits during the June 2009 quarter.  Because only performing loans may be pledged as collateral against Discount Window advances, availability of the line is dependent on the credit quality and repayment ability of our commercial related loan customers.  During the December 2009 quarter, the Federal Reserve added loan quality criteria on a loan level basis to all participants in the BIC program.  These changes had the impact of significantly reducing the collateral value of our pledged loans.  Since we are not a regular user of Discount Window advances, these changes to collateral pledge value are not expected to significantly impact unused liquidity, which will continue to be above available levels at December 31, 2008.


Total FHLB advances in excess of $65,000 require us to purchase additional FHLB stock equal to 5% of the advance amount.  At September 30, 2009, we could have drawn an FHLB advance up to $13,932 of the $27,800 available without the purchase of FHLB stock.  Further advances of the remaining $13,868 available would have required us to purchase additional FHLB stock totaling $691.  The FHLB currently pays no dividends on its stock and has informed its shareholders that no dividends should be expected during 2009.  Therefore, additional FHLB advances carry additional cost relative to other wholesale borrowing alternatives due to the requirement to hold non-earning FHLB stock.  Available repurchase agreement funding increased since December 31, 2008 from the ability to pledge municipal investment securities against FHLB advances.


We believe available but unused wholesale funding remains sufficient for current operations.  However, since additional FHLB advances would require us to purchase nonperforming FHLB stock, as well as increased costs and spreads associated with repurchase agreement funding with the FHLB and others, we expect to fund loan growth with brokered certificates or Federal Reserve Discount Window advances as needed in the near term.

The table below presents maturity repricing information as of September 30, 2009.  The following repricing methodologies should be noted:


1.

Money market deposit accounts are considered fully repriced within 90 days.  Rewards Checking NOW accounts are considered fully repriced within one year.  Other NOW and savings accounts are considered “core” deposits as they are generally insensitive to interest rate changes.  These deposits are generally considered to reprice beyond five years.


2.

Nonaccrual loans are considered to reprice beyond five years.


3.

Assets and liabilities with contractual calls or prepayment options are repriced according to the likelihood of the call or prepayment being exercised in the current interest rate environment.


4.

Impact of rising or falling interest rates is based on a parallel yield curve change that is fully implemented within a 12-month time horizon.

The Asset/Liability Committee uses financial modeling techniques that measure the interest rate risk.  Policies established by our Asset/Liability Committee are intended to limit exposure of earnings at risk.  A formal liquidity contingency plan exists that directs management to the least expensive liquidity sources to fund sudden and unanticipated liquidity needs.  We also use various policy measures to assess the adequacy of our liquidity and interest rate risk as described below.


Basic Surplus


We measure basic surplus as the amount of existing net liquid assets (after deducting short-term liabilities and coverage for anticipated deposit funding outflows during the next 30 days) divided by total assets.  The basic surplus calculation does not consider unused but available correspondent bank federal funds purchased, as those funds are subject to availability based on the correspondent bank’s own liquidity needs and therefore are not guaranteed contractual funds.  Internal company policy is to maintain a basic surplus including FHLB capacity of at least 5.0%.  Our basic surplus, including available open line of credit FHLB advances not yet utilized, was 7.5%, 6.0%, and 5.4% at September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008, respectively.


Interest Rate Risk Limits


We balance the need for liquidity with the opportunity for increased net interest income available from longer term loans held for investment and securities.  To measure the impact on net interest income from interest rate changes, we model interest rate simulations on a quarterly basis.  Our policy is that projected net interest income over the next 12 months will not be reduced by more than 15% given a change in interest rates of up to 200 basis points.  The following table presents the projected impact to net interest income by certain rate change scenarios and the change to the one year cumulative ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities.

Core Funding Utilization


To assess whether interest rate sensitivity beyond one year helps mitigate or exacerbate the short-term rate sensitive position, a quarterly measure of core funding utilization is made.  Core funding is defined as liabilities with a maturity in excess of 60 months and capital.  Core deposits including certain DDA, NOW, and non-maturity savings accounts (except money market accounts) are also considered core long-term funding sources.  The core funding utilization ratio is defined as assets with a maturity in excess of 60 months divided by core funding.  Our target for the core funding utilization ratio is to remain at 80% or less given the same 200 basis point changes in rates that apply to the guidelines for interest rate risk limits exposure



26





described previously.  At September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008, our core funding utilization ratio was projected to be 74%, 76%, and 85%, respectively, after a rate increase of 200 basis points.


CAPITAL RESOURCES


Stockholders’ equity increased $3,132 to $43,031 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase was driven by retained net income net of dividends paid of $2,077 and an increase in unrealized gain on securities available for sale of $1,037.  All other increases to stockholders equity totaled $18.  Net book value per common share increased from $25.76 per share at December 31, 2008, to $27.60 per share at September 30, 2009, an increase of 7.1%.  Net book value of $27.60 per share at September 30, 2009 increased 11.7% from net book value per share of $24.71 at September 30, 2008.  Unrealized gains in securities available for sale reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income since September 30, 2008 provided $1.36 per share, or approximately 47% of the increase in net book value during the past twelve months.  The decline in market interest rates since September 30, 2008 has increased the fair value of the fixed rate debt securities held in our investment portfolio.  If market rates were to increase in the future, existing unrealized gains would decline, negatively influencing net book value per share.  


During the March 2009 quarter, we issued 10,416 shares of restricted stock to certain key employees as a retention tool and to align employee performance with shareholder interests.  The shares vest over the service period using a straight-line method and unvested shares are forfeited if the employee leaves PSB’s employment.  Refer to Footnote 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the restricted shares.


No shares were repurchased by us during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 or 2008 as we sought to conserve capital for growth.  Industry wide, the cost of capital has increased significantly compared to prior years and many sources of previously low cost capital such as pooled trust preferred offerings have been closed.  The banking industry continues to place a premium on capital and we expect to refrain from significant treasury stock repurchases during the remainder of 2009.


The adequacy of our capital is regularly reviewed to ensure sufficient capital is available for current and future needs and is in compliance with regulatory guidelines.  As of September 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the Bank’s Tier 1 risk-weighted capital ratio, total risk-weighted capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratio were in excess of regulatory minimums and were classified as “well-capitalized.”  Failure to remain well-capitalized could prevent us from obtaining future wholesale brokered time deposits which are an important source of funding.  Average book tangible stockholders’ equity to average assets was 6.89% during the September 2009 quarter, 6.87% during the December 2008 quarter, and 6.91% during the September 2008 quarter.




27





Regulatory capital ratios increased since December 31, 2008 from our issuance of Senior Subordinated Notes on July 1, 2009.  The Notes were issued to support capital needs for ongoing organic growth in commercial lending.  Increased commercial lending had placed downward pressure on our regulatory risk-weighted total capital ratio.  In addition, the Notes provide Tier 2 (secondary) regulatory capital in the event of unforeseen credit losses during the current economic downturn.  We are required to maintain a minimum of 10% risk-weighted total capital under current banking regulation to be considered well-capitalized.  Our total risk-weighted capital ratio increased to 12.61% at September 30, 2009 compared to 10.63% at December 31, 2008.  Because the Notes do not qualify as Tier 1 (primary) capital, the September 30, 2009 leverage ratio of 8.18% remained similar to the leverage ratio of 8.21% seen at December 31, 2008.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


September 2009 quarterly earnings were $.47 per share on net income of $738 compared to earnings of $.57 per share on net income of $883 during the most recent June 2009 quarter and $.14 per share on net income of $221 during the prior year September 2008 quarter.  September 2009 quarterly income declined slightly due to an increase in provision for loan losses compared to the June 2009 quarter in addition to a lower level of mortgage banking income.  Year to date for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, earnings were $1.68 per share on net income of $2,627 compared to $1.45 per share on net income of $2,242 last year.


The decline in September 2008 quarterly and year to date net income was due to a write down of our investment in FNMA preferred stock of approximately $1 million.  The federal government’s placement of FNMA into conservatorship on September 7, 2008, permanently impaired the value of our FNMA investment by placement of the government’s new equity interest as superior to FNMA’s existing preferred stock.  During September, we reduced our holding cost of the investment to $50 through a write-down of $991, which reduced net income by $600 after tax benefits.  September 2008 quarterly net income prior to the special FNMA charge would have been $821, or $.53 per share, and year to date income would have been $2,842, or $1.84 per share, an increase in diluted earnings per share of 2.8% over the same period during 2007.


Return on average assets was .50% and .16% (.59% excluding the FNMA loss) during the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Return on average stockholders’ equity was 6.94% and 2.32% (8.62% excluding the FNMA loss) during the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


Return on average assets was .61% and .56% (.70% before the FNMA loss) during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Return on average stockholders’ equity was 8.41% and 7.87% (9.98% before the FNMA loss) during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME


Net interest income is the most significant component of earnings.  September 2009 quarterly tax adjusted net interest income decreased $38, or 0.9%, to $4,337 from the recent quarter ended June 30, 2009, but increased $630, or 17.0%, from the prior year quarter ended September 30, 2008.  Quarterly and year-to-date product balances, yields, and costs are presented in the following tables.  Compared to the prior year’s quarter, net interest income benefited from declining funding rates that outpaced the decline in earning asset yields.  Insertion of adjustable rate commercial loan interest rate floors and an increase in required credit spread on maturing loans helped to support the loan yield despite falling short-term market rates.  During the September 2009 quarter, investment security yields declined at an accelerated rate, continuing a trend that began during the June 2009 quarter, reflecting an environment of very low reinvestment rates for security cash inflows.  We expect security reinvestment rates to continue to be very low during the remainder of 2009 with continued declines in our taxable and tax-exempt security yields.  


Year to date tax adjusted net interest income was $13,028 through September 30, 2009 compared to $11,253 during 2008, an increase of 15.8%.  Approximately $1,030 of the increase was from growth in earning assets over the prior year’s quarter and approximately $745 was from an increase in net interest margin from 2.96% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to 3.19% during 2009.  


Net margin decreased from 3.23% in the June 2009 quarter to 3.09% in the September 2009 quarter.  Although the decline in interest bearing deposits and time deposits cost of .15% was greater than the decline in loan yields of .12%, the yield on the taxable securities portfolio declined .36% to 4.54% during the quarter.  In addition, new senior subordinated notes interest costs contributed to higher cost of interest bearing funding.  In the coming quarter, other borrowings interest costs will increase as certain floating rate repurchase agreement funding resets to higher fixed rates.


In the upcoming December 2009 quarter, loan and investment yields are expected to decline slightly, but the decline in certificate of deposit and wholesale funding costs is expected to outpace the decline in asset yields, resulting in an improvement in net interest margin compared to that seen during the September 2009 quarter.  Interest rates paid on core deposit accounts, including Rewards Checking, were reduced effective October 1, 2009.   However, we expect downward pressure on net interest margin could occur during coming quarters if interest rate levels remain low and liquidity in the banking system brings in lending spreads relative to U.S. Treasury securities and LIBOR indicative rates.  In addition, a sustained increase in market rates could lower net margin as funding costs rise but adjustable rate loans remain at interest rate floors.  At September 30, 2009, approximately $104 million, or 24% of gross loans were adjustable rate loans at the interest rate floor which currently carry an average interest rate of 4.87%.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES


We determine the adequacy of the provision for loan losses based on past loan loss experience, current economic conditions, and composition of the loan portfolio.  Accordingly, the amount charged to expense is based on management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio.  It is our policy that when available information confirms that specific loans, or portions thereof, including impaired loans, are uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the allowance.  Our provision for loan losses was $800 in the September 2009 quarter compared to $285 in the September 2008 quarter.  Year to date for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, provision for loan losses was $2,100 compared to $555 during 2008.  Annualized net charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, were .25% and .04% 2009 and 2008, respectively.


Nonperforming loans are reviewed to determine exposure for potential loss within each loan category.  The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is assessed based on credit quality and other pertinent loan portfolio information.  The adequacy of the allowance and the provision for loan losses is consistent with the composition of the loan portfolio and recent internal credit quality assessments.  The quarterly level of loan loss provision during the remainder of 2009 is expected to be greater than that seen during 2008 primarily to reflect negative changes in credit quality and higher net charge-offs as a result of declining general economic conditions locally and nationally as well as supporting new loan growth.

NONINTEREST INCOME


Total noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $1,203 compared to $21 earned during the September 2008 quarter, an increase of $1,182.  During September 2008, we recorded a $991 charge to recognize permanent impairment in value of our investment in FNMA preferred stock.  If this loss was excluded, total noninterest income during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 would have been $1,012.  Excluding the prior year’s FNMA stock loss, quarterly noninterest income increased $191, or 18.9%.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, total noninterest income was $4,013, an increase of $882, or 28.2% over 2008 if the FNMA loss is excluded.


The majority of the quarterly increase over the prior year was from mortgage banking income, which increased $139, or 59.7% during the September 2009 quarter and increased $784, or 93.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Intervention by various United States Treasury programs and open market mortgage related asset purchases by the Federal Reserve since December 2008 have dramatically lowered long-term residential mortgage rates, contributing to a wave of mortgage refinancing during 2009.  However, the income from mortgage loan refinancing continues to diminish as mortgage banking income was $372, $496, and $757 during the quarters ended September 30, June 30, and March 31, 2009, respectively.


Service fee income continued a decline of $24, or 5.8% in the September 2009 quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to lower overdraft fees collected in our “Overdraft Defender” product and lower commercial and retail deposit fees and service fees.  Overdraft fees can be seasonal and quarterly fees typically increase throughout the calendar year.  Although September 2009 quarterly overdraft fees were greater than seen during the June 2009 quarter which was an increase over the March 2009 quarter, total year to date fees continue to be less than the prior year due to recessionary economic conditions causing customers to minimize use of the product when used simply for convenience.  Year to date, overdraft fees declined $84, or 9.7% to $777 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to last year.  Debit card interchange fees are reflected as other noninterest income and increased $65 (21.4%) during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the prior year due to continued growth in Reward Checking account deposits.  Customers must meet minimum debit card usage requirements to earn the monthly account reward.


As a FHLB Mortgage Partnership Finance (“MPF”) loan servicer, we provide a credit enhancement guarantee to reimburse the FHLB for foreclosure losses in excess of 1% of the original loan principal sold to the FHLB on an aggregate pool basis.  The following table summarizes loan principal serviced for the FHLB under various MPF programs and for FNMA as of September 30, 2009.

We have ceased originating loans under the MPF 100 and MPF 125 programs.  All FHLB originations are now through the FHLB XTRA closed loan program which do not include our credit enhancement.  Due to historical strength of mortgage borrowers in our markets, the original 1% of principal loss pool provided by the FHLB, and current economic conditions in our markets, management believes the possibility of losses under guarantees to the FHLB to be remote.  Accordingly, we have made no provision for a recourse liability related to this recourse obligation on loans we currently service.  Under the MPF 100 and MPF 125 credit enhancement programs, the FHLB is reimbursed for any incurred principal losses by withholding the monthly credit enhancement fee normally paid to us until their principal loss is recovered.  We recognize credit enhancement income on a cash basis when received monthly from the FHLB.


Under the XTRA program, loan principal is sold to the FHLB in exchange for a fee while we retain servicing rights to the loan.  We are paid an annualized fee of 25 basis points for servicing future payments on the loan.  We provide no credit enhancement on the loan to the FHLB and are paid no credit enhancement fees.  The FHLB has no recourse to us for their realized future principal losses under the XTRA program.  As loan principal is repaid by customers on loans in these discontinued MPF 100 and MPF 125 programs, credit enhancement fees (approximately 7 to 10 basis points of principal per year on a loan level basis) will decline, potentially reducing PSB mortgage banking income in future periods. Credit enhancement fee income was $89 and $117 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


NONINTEREST EXPENSE


Total noninterest expenses increased $358, or 11.2%, during the September 2009 quarter to $3,553 compared to total noninterest expenses of $3,195 during the September 2008 quarter.  The majority of the increase was due to increased FDIC insurance expense of $133 and a $125 payment related to the auction of foreclosed properties.  An increase in salaries and employee benefits contributed to the remainder of the increase in quarterly expenses.


During nine months ended September 30, 2009, total noninterest expenses were $10.8 million compared to $9.5 million during 2008, an increase of $1,282, or 13.5%.  FDIC insurance expenses were the most significant reason for increased expense, rising $611.  Salaries and benefits increased $532 as rising health insurance and incentive plan costs increased average wages and benefits per employee by 9.0%.  The increase in loss on foreclosed assets made up the remaining expense increase compared to 2008.


In addition to increased regular quarterly insurance premiums, during the June 2009 quarter the FDIC charged an industry wide special assessment equal to 5 basis points (.05%) of total assets to recapitalize the FDIC insurance fund in light of ongoing and expected bank failures.  This special assessment increased our FDIC insurance expense by $264 during the nine months ended September 2009.  On November 12, 2009, the FDIC finalized rules to collect all estimated premiums through December 2012 in one prepayment due in December 2009.  We estimate this prepayment to be $2.7 million which will be amortized as FDIC insurance expense during the next three years.  Due to deposit growth and an announced increase in the FDIC assessment rate of 3 basis points effective January 1, 2011, we expect FDIC insurance expense to be greater in future years than seen during 2009.




35





Our effective income tax rate increased to 26.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 17.8% during 2008 from two primary factors.  First, Wisconsin’s change to a “combined reporting” method of state franchise tax requires us to pay state franchise tax on income earned on securities held in Peoples State Bank’s Nevada investment subsidiary which was previously not subject to state income taxes.  This change increased the provision for income taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 by approximately $113 compared to state tax regulation in effect during 2008.  Secondly, the FNMA stock loss recorded during 2008 increased the relative percentage of tax exempt investment security and life insurance income to pre-tax income during that period which had the impact of lowering the effective tax rate.  Excluding these two factors, the effective income tax rate would have been approximately 22.8% and 23.6% during 2009 and 2008, respectively.  


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


There has been no material change in the information provided in response to Item 7A of PSB’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures


As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, under the supervision, and with the participation, of PSB’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of PSB’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.  Based upon, and as of the date of such evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that PSB’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  There were no changes in PSB’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, PSB’s internal control over financial reporting.
