Forward-Looking Statements


This Annual Report on Form 10-K, including "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 7, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions.  Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance.  If the risks or uncertainties ever materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, the results of PSB Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“PSB”) may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions.  All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements may be identified by, among other things, expressions of beliefs or expectations that certain events may occur or are anticipated, and projections or statements of expectations.  Risks, uncertainties, and assumptions relat ing to forward-looking statements include changes in interest rates, deterioration of the credit quality of our loan portfolio, the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses, inadequate liquidity, disruptions in the financial markets, economic conditions in PSB’s market area, the loss of business or inability to operate profitably because of competition, failure to comply with or changes in government regulations, the inability to execute expansion plans, increased funding costs, changes in customers’ preferences for types and sources of financial services, loss of key personnel, the inability to implement required technologies, problems in the operation of our information technology systems, unforeseen problems in the operation of our business, failure to maintain and enforce adequate internal controls, the inability of our principal subsidiary to pay dividends, lack of marketability of PSB stock, the effect of certain organizational anti-takeover provisions, unforeseen liabilities arising from cu rrent or prospective claims or litigation, changes in accounting principles and tax laws, and unexpected disruption in our business.  These and other risks, uncertainties, and assumptions are described under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission after the date of this report.  PSB assumes no obligation, and does not intend, to update these forward-looking statements.


Business Operations and Products


PSB Holdings, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation formed in 1995, is a one-bank holding company regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) under the authority of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”).  PSB Holdings, Inc.’s sole business is the ownership and management of Peoples State Bank, a Wisconsin state chartered bank headquartered in Wausau, Wisconsin.  Since 1962, Peoples State Bank has operated as a community bank and currently serves customers in the central and northern Wisconsin counties of Marathon, Oneida, and Vilas through a branch network of 8 retail full-service locations.  This Annual Report on Form 10-K describes the business of PSB Holdings, Inc. and Peoples State Bank as in effect on December 31, 2007, and any reference to “PSB” refers to the consolidated or individual operations of PSB Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary Peoples State Bank.


PSB’s branch offices are located in the communities of Wausau, Rib Mountain, Weston, Marathon, Rhinelander, Minocqua, and Eagle River, Wisconsin.  PSB is engaged in general commercial and retail banking and serves individuals, businesses, and governmental units.  PSB offers most forms of commercial lending, including lines and letters of credit, secured and unsecured term loans, equipment and lease financing, and commercial mortgage lending. Commercial customers may use available cash management and lockbox services in addition to merchant banking products.  In addition, PSB provides a full range of personal banking services, including checking accounts, savings and time accounts, installment, credit and debit cards, and other personal loans, as well as long-term fixed rate mortgage loans.  PSB offers both commercial and personal customers automated teller machines and online computer banking to expand its services to customers on a 24-hour basis.  New serv ices are frequently added to PSB’s commercial and retail banking departments.  PSB offers brokerage services at its Wausau locations, including the sale of annuities, mutual funds, and other investments to Peoples State Bank customers and the general public.  As of February 8, 2008, PSB operated with 128 full-time equivalent (“FTE”) employees, including 15 FTE employed on a part time basis.  None of the employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement.


All of PSB’s products and services are directly or indirectly related to the business of community banking and all activity is reported as one segment of operations.  Therefore, all revenue, profit and loss, and total assets are reported in one segment and represent the entire operations of PSB.  



1




As a community bank, the majority of PSB’s operating revenues come from interest earned on local loans receivable and its investment securities portfolio.  PSB does not have a dependence on any major customers and collects revenue or obtains funding from approximately 13,400 households and businesses.  The table below shows a breakdown of principal sources of operating revenue.

PSB operates as a local community bank, but offers virtually the same products as much larger regional banks.  PSB maintains a traditional retail and commercial banking business model and does not actively employ stand-alone derivative instruments to hedge cash flow and fair value risks.  The primary sources of income are net interest income earned on residential and commercial loans made to local customers after payment of interest to depositors.  PSB originates and sells long-term fixed rate mortgage loans to the secondary market and services future payments on these loans for a substantial amount of fee income.  Depositors pay various service fees including overdraft charges and commercial service fees which contribute to PSB’s noninterest income.  PSB sells retail investment products on a commission basis primarily to individuals.  Interest income on loans, mortgage banking income, service charges on deposit accounts, and investment sales commissio ns make up approximately 85% of PSB’s gross revenue, consistent with recent years.


PSB serves customers with an emphasis on customer service, flexibility, and local decision making.  Customers and prospects are identified and served on a face to face basis through relationships directly with bank staff.  Virtually all PSB customers live or work within the bank’s primary market area in central and northern Wisconsin.  PSB employees are substantial participants in community involvement for the betterment of PSB’s market areas.


PSB recognizes many opportunities for continued growth in products, customers, assets, and profits.  PSB’s relative size (compared to other area community banks, thrifts, and credit unions) allows it to offer a wide array of financial service products in a one-stop shopping service model.  Although greater in size than typical community banks, traditional community bank customer service and flexibility differentiate PSB from larger financial service providers.  Therefore, PSB can offer better service to customers disenfranchised by large banks and bank mergers while allowing them to continue their practice of one-stop shopping and commercial support.  PSB can compete against smaller local community banks and credit unions by continuing the same level of service these customers expect, but giving them an expanded and competitively priced product lineup due in part to economies of scale.


PSB has traditionally pursued a market expansion plan that included de novo branching into adjacent market areas previously identified as offering favorable long-term business prospects.  Full-service bank branches were opened in Eagle River, Rhinelander, Minocqua, and Weston, Wisconsin in during 2001 through 2005.  During those periods, management believed opening in adjacent markets capitalized on existing management resources and minimized costs for name recognition and awareness while increasing the speed in which customers are obtained via new locations while improving convenience of service for existing customers.  No de-novo branches were opened by PSB during 2006 and 2007.  However, PSB intends to pursue opportunities to acquire additional bank subsidiaries or banking offices both in and out of its current market area so that, at any time, it may be engaged in some tentative or preliminary discussions for such purposes with officers, directors, or principal s tockholders of other holding companies or banks.

Bank Market Area and Competition


There is a mix of retail, manufacturing, agricultural, and service businesses in the areas served by PSB.  PSB has substantial competition in its market areas.  Much of this competition comes from companies which are larger and have greater resources than PSB.  PSB competes for deposits and other sources of funds with other banks, savings associations, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, life insurance companies, and other financial and non financial companies.  Many of these nonbank competitors offer products and services which are functionally equivalent to the products and services offered by PSB.  New bank and nonbank competitors continue to enter our markets on a regular basis.


Based on publicly available deposit market share information as of June 30, 2007, the following is a list of the three largest FDIC insured banking competitors in each of PSB’s primary markets and a comparison of PSB’s deposit market share to these primary competitors.  During the period ended June 30, 2007, PSB lost market share in part from an $8 million reduction in wholesale brokered certificate of deposit funding, and loss of a large governmental account in the Vilas County market.

Current banking law provides for a competitive environment in which PSB operates and competition for PSB services is likely to continue.  For example, current federal law permits adequately capitalized and managed bank holding companies to engage in interstate banking on a broad scale.  In addition, financial holding companies are permitted to conduct a broad range of banking, insurance, and securities activities.  PSB believes that the combined effects of more interstate banking and the development of greater “one-stop” availability for banking, insurance, and securities services will both increase the overall level of competition and attract competitors with which PSB may not now compete for its customers.


In addition to competition, the business of PSB is and will continue to be affected by general economic conditions, including the level of interest rates and the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve (see “Regulation and Supervision – Monetary Policy”).  This competition may cause PSB to seek out opportunities to provide additional financial services to replace or supplement traditional net interest income.

Executive Officers


Peter W. Knitt, 49 – President and Chief Executive Officer of PSB and Peoples State Bank since July 2006; previously Senior Vice President of Peoples State Bank (2003-2006).


Scott M. Cattanach, 39 – Secretary of PSB since January 2007; Treasurer of PSB since 2002; Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Peoples State Bank since 2002.


Regulation and Supervision


Regulation


PSB is subject to regulation under both federal and state law.  PSB Holdings, Inc. is a registered bank holding company and is subject to regulation and examination by the Federal Reserve pursuant to the BHCA.  Peoples State Bank is subject to regulation and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and, as a Wisconsin chartered bank, by the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions.  


The Federal Reserve expects a bank holding company to be a source of strength for its subsidiary banks.  As such, PSB Holdings, Inc. may be required to take certain actions or commit certain resources to Peoples State Bank when it might otherwise choose not to do so.  Under federal and state banking laws, PSB is subject to regulations which govern its capital adequacy, loans and loan policies (including the extension of credit to affiliates), deposits, payment of dividends, establishment of branch offices, mergers and other acquisitions, investments in or the conduct of other lines of business, management personnel, interlocking directorates, and other aspects of its operations.  Bank regulators having jurisdiction over PSB generally have the authority to impose civil fines or penalties and to impose regulatory sanctions for noncompliance with applicable banking regulations and policies.  In particular, bank regulators have broad authority to take corrective action i f Peoples State Bank fails to maintain required minimum capital.  Information concerning compliance with applicable capital requirements is set forth in Item 8, in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  


Banking laws and regulations have undergone periodic revisions that have often had a direct or indirect effect on PSB’s operations and its competitive environment.  Such laws and regulations are often, if not continuously, subject to review and possible revision.  Among recent changes in the regulatory environment in which PSB operates are the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which eliminated many of the barriers to affiliation among banks, insurance companies, and other securities or financial services companies, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA PATRIOT Act”) which requires banks and other financial services companies to implement additional policies and procedures designed to address, among other things, money laundering, terrorist financing, identifying and reporting suspicious activities and currency transactions, and currency crimes, and the recent “Ch eck 21” legislation which involves the replacement of paper check records with digital copies in order to speed processing.  Depending on the scope and timing of future regulatory changes, it is likely they will affect the competitive environment in which PSB operates or increase costs of regulatory compliance and, accordingly, may have a material adverse effect on PSB’s consolidated financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations.  


Monetary Policy


The earnings and growth of PSB are affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and governmental agencies.  The Federal Reserve has a direct and indirect influence on the costs of funds used by PSB for lending and its actions have a substantial effect on interest rates, the general availability of credit, and the economy as a whole.  These policies therefore affect the growth of bank loans and deposits and the rates charged for loans and paid for deposits.  Federal Reserve policies, in particular, have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to do so in the future.  PSB is not able to anticipate the future impact of such policies and practices on its growth or profitability.

Item 1A.  RISK FACTORS


An investment in PSB Holdings, Inc. common stock involves a significant degree of risk.  The following paragraphs describe what we believe are the most significant risks of investing in PSB common stock.  You should also read carefully the cautionary statement in Item 1 regarding the use of forward-looking statements in this discussion.


We are subject to interest rate risk.


Our earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon our net interest income.  Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and securities and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowed funds.  Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including general economic conditions, the competitive environment within our markets, consumer preferences for specific loan and deposit products, and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Federal Reserve.  Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the amount of interest we receive on loans and securities and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also affect our ability to originate loans and obtain deposits as well as the fair value of our financial assets and li abilities.  If the interest we pay on deposits and other borrowings increases at a faster rate than the interest we receive on loans and other investments, our net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affected.  Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest we receive on loans and other investments falls more quickly than the interest we pay on deposits and other borrowings.  Management uses simulation analysis to produce an estimate of interest rate exposure based on assumptions and judgments related to balance sheet growth, new products, and pricing.  Simulation analysis involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires estimates of future risks and trends.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those derived in simulation analysis due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, changes in balance sheet composition, and the possible effects of unanticipated or unknown events.   Although management believes it has implemented effective asset and liability management strategies to reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on our results of operations, any substantial, unexpected, and/or prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


We are subject to credit risk.


There are inherent risks associated with our lending activities.  These risks include, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates and changes in the economic conditions in central and northern Wisconsin where we operate.  Increases in interest rates and/or weakening economic conditions could adversely impact the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans or the value of the collateral securing these loans.  We also are subject to various laws and regulations that affect our lending activities.  Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject us to regulatory enforcement action that could result in the assessment against us of civil money or other penalties.  As of December 31, 2007, approximately 71% of our loan portfolio consisted of commercial, financial, agricultural, and commercial real estate loans, including commercial mortgage and construction loans.  These types of loans are typically larger than residentia l real estate loans and consumer loans.  We closely monitor and manage risk concentrations and utilize various portfolio management practices to limit excessive concentrations when it is feasible to do so; however, our loan portfolio still contains a number of commercial loans with relatively large balances.  The deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in non-performing loans, and an increase in non-performing loans could result in a net loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for loan losses, and an increase in loan chargeoffs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


Various factors may cause our allowance for loan losses to increase.


We maintain an allowance for loan losses, which is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, that represents management’s estimate of probable losses within the existing portfolio of loans.  The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio.  The level of the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of industry concentrations, specific credit risks, loan loss experience, current loan portfolio quality, present economic, political, and regulatory conditions, and unexpected losses inherent in the current loan portfolio.  The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses inherently involves a degree of subjectivity and requires that we make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes.  Changes in economic



5



conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans, and other factors, both within and outside of our control, may require an increase in the allowance for loan losses.  In addition, bank regulatory agencies and our independent auditors periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments that can differ somewhat from those of our own management.  In addition, if charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance for loan losses (i.e., if the loan loss allowance is inadequate), we will need additional loan loss provisions to increase the allowance for loan losses.  Additional provisions to increase the allowance for loan losses, should they become necessary, would result in a decrease in net income and capital, and may have a material adverse effect on our fi nancial condition and results of operations.


We are subject to liquidity risk.


Market conditions or other events could negatively affect the level or cost of funding, affecting our ongoing ability to accommodate liability maturities and deposit withdrawals, meet contractual obligations, and fund asset growth and new business transactions at a reasonable cost, in a timely manner, and without adverse consequences.  Although management has implemented strategies to maintain sufficient and diverse sources of funding to accommodate planned as well as unanticipated changes in assets and liabilities under both normal and adverse conditions, any substantial, unexpected, and/or prolonged change in the level or cost of liquidity could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  For example, during the past year, a significant portion of the taxable investment security portfolio has been pledged for repurchase agreements or municipal deposits, leaving them unavailable for liquidation in the event of a liquidity crisis. &nbs p;As of December 31, 2007, approximately 67% of taxable securities were pledged for such purposes.  Accordingly, a deep and prolonged disruption in the markets could have the effect of significantly restricting the accessibility of cost-effective capital and funding which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


Disruptions in financial markets may adversely affect us.


Since July 2007, certain credit markets have experienced difficult conditions, extraordinary volatility, and rapidly widening credit spreads and, therefore, have provided significantly reduced availability of liquidity for many borrowers.  Uncertainties in these markets present significant challenges, particularly for the financial services industry.  As a financial services company, our operations and financial condition are affected by economic and market conditions.  For example, the need for funding by some large national banking organizations has increased certificate of deposit costs for participants in the brokered deposit market relative to other sources of funding such as FHLB advances or repurchase agreements.  Because the brokered certificate market provides PSB the largest pool of potential new funding, higher wholesale certificate of deposit costs has an adverse impact on PSB’s net interest margin.  It is difficult to predict how long these eco nomic conditions will exist, which of our products will ultimately be affected, and whether management’s actions will effectively mitigate these external factors.  Accordingly, these factors could materially and adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.


We operate in a highly competitive industry and market areas.


We face substantial competition in all areas of our operations from a variety of different competitors, many of which are larger and may have more financial resources.  Such competitors primarily include national and super-regional banks as well as smaller community banks within the various markets in which we operate.  However, we also face competition from many other types of financial institutions, including, without limitation, savings associations, credit unions, mortgage banking companies, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, investment management firms, investment banking firms, broker-dealers, and other local, regional, and national financial services firms.  The financial services industry could become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory, and technological changes and continued consolidation.  Also, technology has lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for non-banks to offer products and services traditionall y provided by banks.  Our ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, including, among other things:


• our ability to develop and execute strategic plans and initiatives;


• our ability to develop, maintain and build upon long-term customer relationships based on quality service, high ethical standards, and safe, sound assets;


• our ability to expand our market position;



6




• the scope, relevance, and pricing of products and services offered to meet customer needs and demands;


• the rate at which we introduce new products and services relative to our competitors; and


• industry and general economic trends.


Failure to perform in any of these areas could significantly weaken our competitive position, adversely affect our growth and profitability, and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


Our profitability depends significantly on economic conditions in the central and northern Wisconsin geographic regions in which we operate.


Our success depends primarily on economic conditions in the markets in which we operate due to concentrations of loans and other business activities in geographic areas where our branches are principally located.  The regional economic conditions in areas in which we conduct our business have an impact on the demand for our products and services as well as the ability of our customers to repay loans, the value of the collateral securing loans and the stability of our deposit funding sources.  A significant decline in general economic conditions caused by inflation, recession, an act of terrorism, outbreak of hostilities or other international or domestic occurrences, unemployment, changes in securities markets, or other factors, such as severe declines in the value of homes and other real estate, could also impact these regional economies and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


Failure to comply with government regulations or changes in government regulation and supervision policies could increase our costs, limit our operations, and increase competition.


We are subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision.  Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance funds, and the banking system as a whole, not shareholders.  These regulations affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy, and growth, among other things.  Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations, and policies for possible changes.  Changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, changes in the interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, and/or continuing to become subject to heightened regulatory practices, requirements, or expectations, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways.  Such changes could subject us to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products that we may offer, and/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer c ompeting financial services and products, among other things.  Failure to appropriately comply with laws, regulations, or policies (including internal policies and procedures designed to prevent such violations) could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties, reputation damage, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.


Potential acquisitions may disrupt our business and dilute shareholder value.


Acquiring other banks, businesses, or branches involves various risks commonly associated with acquisitions, including, among other things:


• potential exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities of the acquired company;

• exposure to potential asset quality issues of the acquired company;

• difficulty and expense of integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired company;

• potential disruption to our business;

• potential diversion of our management’s time and attention;

• the possible loss of key employees and customers of the acquired company;

• difficulty in estimating the value (including goodwill) of the acquired company;

• difficulty in estimating the fair value of acquired assets, liabilities, and derivatives of the acquired company; and

• potential changes in banking or tax laws or regulations that may affect the acquired company.


We may evaluate merger and acquisition opportunities and conduct due diligence activities related to possible transactions with other financial institutions and financial services companies.  As a result, future mergers or acquisitions involving cash, or debt or equity securities may occur at any time.  Acquisitions typically involve the



7



payment of a premium over book and market values, and, therefore, some dilution of our tangible book value and net income per common share may occur in connection with any future transaction.  Furthermore, failure to realize the expected revenue increases, cost savings, increases in geographic or product presence, and/or other projected benefits from an acquisition could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


Our funding costs may increase if consumers decide not to use banks as their primary source to invest liquid or other personal assets.


While the banking industry has historically held a majority of available deposits, generational factors and trends in using other non-banking providers for investment of funds may reduce the level of deposits available to fund banking assets and increase the cost of funding.  Demographic trends in the United States point to a growing transfer of wealth to the next generation in the following decades that could accelerate this transfer of wealth out of the banking system and into other non-banking providers.  If this change occurs, our funding costs could increase and adversely affect our results of operations.


We may lose fee income and deposits if a significant portion of consumers decide not to use banks to complete their financial transactions.


Technology and other changes are allowing parties to complete financial transactions that historically have involved banks at one or both ends of the transaction.  For example, consumers can now pay bills and transfer funds directly without banks.  The process of eliminating banks as intermediaries, known as disintermediation, could result in the loss of fee income, as well as the loss of customer deposits and income generated from those deposits.


We may not be able to attract and retain skilled people.


Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to attract and retain key people.  Competition for the best people can be intense and we may not be able to hire or retain the people we want or need.  Although we maintain employment agreements with certain key employees, and have incentive compensation plans aimed, in part, at long-term employee retention, the unexpected loss of services of one or more of our key personnel could still occur, and such events may have a material adverse impact on our business because of the loss of the employee’s skills, knowledge of our market, years of industry experience, and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel.


We may not be able to implement new technologies necessary to remain competitive with other financial institutions.


The financial services industry is continually undergoing rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services.  The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs.  Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands, as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations.  Our largest competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements.  We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers.  Failure to successfully keep pace with technological change affecting the financial services industry could have a material adverse impact on our business and, in t urn, our financial condition and results of operations.


Our information systems may experience an interruption or breach in security.


We rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our business.  Any failure, interruption, or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in our customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan, and other systems.  While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the possible failure, interruption, or security breach of our information systems, there can be no assurance that any such failure, interruption, or security breach will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed.  The occurrence of any failure, interruption, or security breach of our information systems could damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.




8



We are subject to operational risk.


We, like all businesses, are subject to operational risk, which represents the risk of loss resulting from human error, inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, and external events.  Operational risk also encompasses compliance (legal) risk, which is the risk of loss from violations of, or noncompliance with, laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards.  Although we seek to mitigate operational risk through a system of internal controls, resulting losses from operational risk could take the form of explicit charges, increased operational costs, harm to our reputation, or foregone opportunities, any and all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


Our internal controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented.


Management regularly reviews and updates our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures.  Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met.  Any failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.


We rely on dividends from our Peoples State Bank subsidiary for virtually all  of our funds.


PSB is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiary Peoples State Bank.  PSB receives substantially all of its cash flow from dividends from its subsidiary.  These dividends are the principal source of funds to pay dividends on our common stock and interest and principal on our debt.  Various laws and regulations limit the amount of dividends that Peoples State Bank may pay to PSB.  Also, PSB’s right to participate in a distribution of assets upon Peoples State Bank’s liquidation or reorganization is subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors.  In the event Peoples State Bank is unable to pay dividends to PSB, we may not be able to service debt, pay obligations, or pay dividends on our common stock.  The inability to receive dividends from Peoples State Bank could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


Investors may not be able to liquidate their PSB holdings when desired because there is no active public trading market for PSB stock.


There is no active public established trading market for PSB stock.  As a result, investors may not be able to resell shares at the price or time they desire.


Our articles of incorporation could make more difficult or discourage an acquisition of PSB.


PSB’s articles of incorporation require the approval of two-thirds of all shares outstanding in order to effect a merger, share exchange, or other reorganization.  This provision may discourage potential takeover attempts, discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over market price, or otherwise adversely affect the market price of our common stock.


Unexpected liabilities resulting from current or future claims or contingencies may have a material adverse effect on PSB’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.


We may be involved from time to time in a variety of litigation arising out of our business.  Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against PSB, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, and such claims may harm our reputation.  In addition, we may not be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future, nor may we be able to obtain adequate replacement policies with acceptable terms, if at all.  Should the ultimate judgments or settlements in any actual or threatened claims or litigation exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.




9



Our earnings may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles and in tax laws.


Changes in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles could have a significant adverse effect on PSB’s reported financial results.  Although these changes may not have an economic impact on our business, they could affect our ability to attain targeted levels for certain performance measures.  We, like all businesses, are subject to tax laws, rules, and regulations.  Changes to tax laws, rules, and regulations, including changes in the interpretation or implementation of tax laws, rules, and regulations by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or other governmental bodies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways.  Such changes could subject us to additional costs, among other things.  Failure to appropriately comply with tax laws, rules, and regulations could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties, and/or reputation damage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditio n, and results of operations.


Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, and other external events could significantly impact our business.


Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, and other adverse external events could have a significant impact on our ability to conduct business.  Such events could affect the stability of our deposit base, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral securing loans, cause significant property damage, result in loss of revenue, and/or cause us to incur additional expenses.  Although management has established disaster recovery plans and procedures, the occurrence of any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Item 5.

MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.


Market


There is no active established public trading market in PSB common stock.  Bid and ask prices are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “PSBQ.OB.”  Transactions in PSB common stock are limited and sporadic.


PSB maintains an informal, annual share repurchase program of up to 1% of outstanding shares per year in addition to periodic tender offers for stock or other announced buyback programs when deemed advantageous to PSB.  During 2007, 59,000 shares of PSB stock were purchased at an average price of $28.81 per share.  During 2006, 117,000 shares of PSB stock were purchased at an average price of $33.36 per share.  No repurchases by PSB or any affiliated purchasers occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2007.


Holders


As of December 31, 2007, there were approximately 882 holders of record of PSB common stock.  Some of PSB’s shares are held in “street” name brokerage accounts and the number of beneficial owners of such shares is not known and therefore not included in the foregoing number.


Dividends


PSB expects that its practice of paying semi-annual dividends on its common stock will continue, although the payment of future dividends will continue to depend upon earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other factors.  The principal source of funds for the payment of dividends by PSB is dividend income from its bank subsidiary.  Payment of dividends by Peoples State Bank is subject to various limitations under banking laws and regulations.  To fund the repurchase of 100,000 (5.9%) of PSB’s common equity shares during the 2006 tender offer, the subsidiary bank made a dividend distribution to PSB in excess of current year net income.  Under state banking regulations, the subsidiary bank may not make dividend distributions in excess of year-to-date net income to PSB during 2007 and 2008 without regulatory approval.  If regulatory approval was obtained, at December 31, 2007, the bank could have paid a maximum of approximately $14.3 mil lion in additional dividends to PSB.  However, to remain “well capitalized” under regulatory Prompt Corrective Action Provisions (see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), dividends could not exceed approximately $5.0 million as of December 31, 2007.  PSB has paid regular dividends since its inception in 1995.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


Management’s discussion and analysis reviews significant factors with respect to PSB’s financial condition and results of operations for 2007 and 2006.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes, tables, and the selected financial data presented elsewhere in this report.  All figures are in thousands, except per share data and per employee data.


Management’s discussion and analysis, like other portions of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, includes forward-looking statements that are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial performance.  However, such performance involves risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such forward-looking statements.  A cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements is set forth under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  This discussion and analysis should be considered in light of such cautionary statement and the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of this report.


Results of Operations


Earnings per share increased substantially during 2007 to $2.64 per share (up 28%) on net income of $4,140 compared to $2.07 per share on net income of $3,427 during 2006.  The 2007 earnings increase included $.13 per share ($200) from a favorable decision in Tax Court regarding our ability to deduct interest expense allocated certain tax-exempt investments.  The 2007 earnings increase was also driven by greater net interest margin, elimination of the interest rate swap expense seen during 2006, and reduced salaries and employee benefits costs.  Due to repurchase of PSB stock, total average common shares outstanding declined 5% during 2007, which increased earnings per share from leverage of existing capital for accretion of income on a per share basis to current shareholders.  Due to average asset growth of less than 1%, volume growth was not a significant driver to increased profits in 2007.




13



Net income declined $.45 per share (18%) to $2.07 during 2006 on net income of $3,427 compared to $2.52 on net income of $4,340 in 2005.  A decline in net interest margin without asset growth, higher provisions for estimated loan losses, and increased employee health insurance costs were the greatest factors behind lower net income, with these factors contributing $.30 of the decrease in 2006 earnings per share.  Besides the factors behind the $.30 reduction in earnings per share, several special items were recognized in 2006 net income including a loss on sale of securities to restructure the balance sheet, gain on sale of vacant land formerly held for future branching, and an executive officer severance benefit.  The net impact of these special items was to decrease earnings per share by $.09 during the year.  Lastly, during 2006, PSB determined an existing interest rate swap to convert a time deposit from fixed to floating rates did not q ualify for hedge accounting.  Elimination of hedge accounting generated a non-cash charge against net income of $.05 per share.  The swap was prepaid during 2007.  


Item 6 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K presents other various financial performance ratios and measures for the five years ending December 31, 2007.  A number of separate factors impacted PSB earnings during the past several years as outlined in the table below.  Earnings have been volatile during the past five years.  Since 2003, earnings have declined as a result of a falling net interest rate margin through 2006, reduced mortgage banking income, and increased wage, occupancy, technology and compliance expenses not offset by earning asset growth.  The following table presents PSB’s net income for the five years ending December 31, 2007, before tax-adjusted special and nonrecurring income and expense items.

Net Interest Income


Net interest income represents the difference between interest earned on loans, securities, and other interest-earning assets, and the interest expense associated with the deposits and borrowings that fund them.  Interest rate fluctuations together with changes in volume and types of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities combine to affect total net interest income.  Additionally, net interest income is impacted by the sensitivity of the balance sheet to change in interest rates, contractual maturities, and repricing frequencies. Net interest income is the most significant item of PSB revenue generated by operations.


PSB incurs market risk primarily from interest-rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities.  Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates.  Management actively monitors and manages its interest-rate risk exposure.  The measurement of the market risk associated with financial instruments (such as loans and deposits) is meaningful only when all related and offsetting on- and off-balance sheet transactions are aggregated, and the resulting net positions are identified.  Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments that reflect changes in market prices and rates can be found in Item 8, Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


PSB’s primary objective in managing interest-rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital, while adjusting the asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure.  PSB relies primarily on its asset-liability structure to control interest-rate risk.  In general, longer-term earning assets are funded by shorter-term funding sources allowing PSB to earn net interest income on both the credit risk taken on assets and the yield curve of market interest rates.  However, a sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact earnings, to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis.  PSB does not engage in trading activities to enhance earnings or for hedging purposes.

(1) The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

(2) The yield on tax-exempt loans and investment securities has been adjusted to its fully taxable equivalent using a 34% tax rate.


Average earnings assets grew 1.1% to $476,968 during 2007 compared to growth of 3.9% to $471,837 during 2006.  Tax adjusted net interest income increased $491 or 3.4% in 2007 compared to a decline of $284 or 1.9% during 2006.  During 2007, approximately one-third of the increase in net interest income ($158) was from greater earning asset growth (volume) and approximately two-thirds of the increase ($333) was from an increase in the spread (rate) earned on average product balances.  During 2006, the decline in net interest income from lower net margin on product spreads of $659 as shown in Table 4 was not offset by additional net interest income of $375 from the higher volume of earning assets during 2006.  Competition for both loans and deposits in PSB’s market area is strong with pricing pressure to hold down loan rates and to keep local deposit rates to levels near wholesale funding alternatives.  


Quarterly product spreads during 2007 were consistently greater than in 2006.  During the first six months of 2007, growth in asset yields from repricing loans and taxable securities outpaced increased funding costs, as quarterly asset yields increased .28% while the quarterly cost of interest-bearing liabilities (funding costs) increased .13%.  During the last half of 2007 following the beginning of short-term Federal Funds rate decreases by the Federal Reserve Open Markets Committee, quarterly asset yields fell faster than quarterly funding costs, with funding costs down .08% while asset yields declined .15%.


During 2006, net interest margin declined compared to 2005, as interest-bearing liabilities rates increased faster than asset yields throughout the year.  Rising short-term interest rates (that began with Federal Reserve discount rate increases during June 2004) increased deposit costs faster than corresponding longer-term interest rates.  Static gap analysis projections showed earning assets to reprice with similar timing to interest-bearing liabilities, but the extent of deposit repricing during 2006 was greater than loans as the market’s interest yield curve was inverted for much of 2006.




17



In 2005, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago began to reduce the rate of quarterly dividends paid on their stock held by PSB and other stockholders.  During 2007, the FHLB ceased quarterly dividend payments and is not expected to pay a dividend during 2008.


Interest expense on other borrowings increased substantially during 2007 compared to prior years from an increase in wholesale repurchase agreement funding.  Changes in national market rates made structured repurchase agreement funding substantially less than FHLB advances or brokered certificate of deposit funding.  During 2007, PSB originated new repurchase agreements to refinance maturing FHLB advances ($7,000) and to enter into a leveraged security purchase ($13,500) for increased net interest income.


Due to limited investment securities available for pledging to repurchase agreements, and limitations on FHLB advance growth without purchase of additional capital stock, brokered certificates are the most likely source of wholesale funding during 2008 should local deposit growth lag asset growth.  Currently, the relative cost of brokered certificates is significantly greater than equivalent term FHLB advances or repurchase agreements.  Therefore, 2008 net interest income and net interest margin may be adversely impacted if asset growth cannot be funded from local deposit growth.


The following table outlines the change in yields during the three years ended December 31, 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses


The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is assessed based upon credit quality, existing economic conditions, and loss exposure by loan category.  Management determines the allowance for loan losses based on past loan experience, current economic conditions, composition of the loan portfolio, and the potential for future loss.  Accordingly, the amount charged to expense is based on management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio.  It is PSB’s 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.  The provision for loan losses was $480 in 2007 and $495 in 2006.  Non-performing loans relative to total loans and total assets declined slightly during 2007 after increasing in 2006.  See additional discussion under this Item 7 in the section titled “Allowance for Loan Losses.”

Total noninterest income was $3,704 during the year ended 2007 compared to $3,276 during 2006, an increase of $428 or 13.1%.  Merchant and debit card fee income showed the greatest relative increase, up $122, or 55.5% in 2007.  PSB’s new Reward Checking account requires greater customer debit card use to obtain the premium account interest rate and other rewards.  Growth in this deposit account category during 2007 led to the substantially increased debit card income.  However, 2006 results included several special items impacting non-interest income as outlined in the following paragraphs.




19



During 2005, PSB entered into a $10 million interest rate swap (receive fixed, pay variable payments) to hedge the interest rate risk inherent in a fixed rate certificate of deposit that was later determined to not qualify for hedge accounting.  Eliminating the application of fair value hedge accounting in March 2006 caused PSB to mark the swap liability to fair value and generated a charge against noninterest income.  Following a decline in interest rates (which lowered the swap liability), this swap was prepaid in the March 2007 quarter with a final payment of $115 (swap final maturity was in October 2008).  Changes in the fair value of the swap liability and the monthly settlement payments were recorded as reductions to noninterest income.  Disclosures about the impact of the interest rate swap can be found in Item 8, Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


In 2004, PSB purchased vacant land in the Portage County, Wisconsin Business Park for a possible de novo branch location.  During 2006, PSB decided to forego entering the market as a de novo branch and sold the land to an unrelated party for a gain on sale of $389, which is included in the gain on sale of premises and equipment.


In response to falling long-term market rates in September 2006 and the ability to offset a securities loss against the one-time gain on sale of land held for branching, PSB restructured its balance sheet by selling low yielding securities for a loss and reinvesting in longer-term higher yielding securities.  During the September 2006 quarter, PSB sold $17 million of securities which generated a loss of $472.


If the impact to noninterest income from the three 2006 special items were excluded, noninterest income would have been $3,687 in 2007 and $3,595 in 2006, an increase of $92 or 2.6%.  


Special noninterest income items in 2005 included a $6 gain on sale of securities, $39 of swap settlement income, and $78 gain on sale of Pulse stock.  Noninterest income before special items was $3,345 during 2005.  Excluding the special items, 2006 noninterest income increased $250, or 7.5% from 2005.


PSB serviced $169,777 and $170,162 of residential real estate loans which have been sold to the FHLB under the Mortgage Partnership Finance Program (“MPF”) at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  PSB also serviced $1,174 and $729 of residential real estate loans which have been sold to the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) at 2007 and 2006, respectively.  A servicing fee equal to .25% of outstanding principal is retained from payments collected from the customer as compensation for servicing the loan for the FHLB and FNMA.  As a FHLB MPF loan servicer, PSB is also paid a “credit enhancement” fee of .07% to .10% of outstanding serviced principal in addition to the .25% collected for servicing the loan for the FHLB.  See also “Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.”  Mortgage loan servicing and credit enhancement fees have been an important source of mortgage banking income.   Refer to Item 8, Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a breakdown of mortgage banking revenue.  PSB recognizes a mortgage servicing right asset due to the substantial volume of loans serviced for the FHLB and FNMA.  Refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of PSB’s mortgage servicing right accounting policies.  


PSB ceased originating loans under the FHLB MPF 100 agent program during November 2003.  Since that time all FHLB originations have been through the FHLB MPF 125 closed loan program.  PSB provides 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.  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, management believes the possibility of losses under guarantees to the FHLB to be remote.  Accordingly, no provision for a recourse liability has been made for this recourse obligation on loans currently serviced by PSB.  The following table summarizes loan principal serviced for the FHLB and terms of the MPF program as of December 31, 2007.

Salaries and employee benefits expense declined during 2007 totaling $6,921 compared to $7,057 during 2006.  Lower employee health insurance expense was a significant driver to lower costs, with total savings of $73 during all of 2007 compared to 2006.  Savings were achieved from more active management of self-funded plan expenses, moderately higher benefit deductibles, and a lower number of employee claims.  Refer to Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of PSB’s self-funded health insurance plan.  Salaries and benefits expenses have also benefited from operational efficiencies delivered by a smaller employee base, which has declined from 139 full-time equivalent employees (FTE) at December 31, 2006 to 130 at December 31, 2007.  Salaries and benefits included employee severance expenses of $146 and $167 during 2007, and 2006, respectively.


Expenses other than salaries and benefits totaled $5,031 during all of 2007 compared to $4,645 for all of 2006, an increase of $386, or 8.3%.  Costs related to compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX 404”) were $146 in 2007 compared to $26 in 2006, an increase of $120.  In addition, PSB recorded a long-term donation commitment for a qualifying community reinvestment project during 2007 totaling $47.  Before the SOX 404 costs and the donation commitment, 2007 operating expenses other than salaries and benefits increased $219 or 4.7% led by marketing costs (up $94), and information technology expense (up $55).

Note – Net interest income (net margin) is calculated on a tax equivalent basis using a tax rate of 34%.


During 2006, employee health and dental insurance expenses grew $209, or 37.1% due to additional claims under the self insured plan and higher individual stop loss limits.  


As a method to retain key employees with PSB, a deferred compensation program was initiated during 2005.  PSB deferred compensation plan contributions for employee plans were $38 and $79 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Concurrent with initiating the deferred compensation plan, PSB purchased bank owned life insurance to protect itself from the unexpected loss of key personnel and provide tax advantaged income to offset compensation plan costs.  Refer to Item 8, Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on PSB deferred compensation programs.   For 2008, the deferred compensation plan crediting rate applicable to the employee plan and the director plan was increased to 100% of return on equity from 50% of return on equity during 2007 and 2006.  This change will increase plan expense during 2008 if PSB return on equity remains similar to that seen during 2007.


Directors’ fees and benefits increased $44, or 19.6%, during 2006 compared to the prior year due to additional meetings related to CEO transition issues and selection of the new PSB CEO, who began in that capacity effective July 1, 2006.

Income Taxes


The effective tax rate was 23.4% in 2007 compared to 29.4% in 2006 and 31.9% in 2005.  The 2007 effective tax rate declined due to a higher portion of pre-tax income from interest income on tax-exempt investments and a reduction to federal tax from a favorable Tax Court ruling on interest expense deductions related to tax-exempt income (commonly referred to as the TEFRA interest disallowance calculation).  The effective tax rate would have been 27.1% during 2007 before the $200 reduction in federal tax from the favorable Tax Court ruling.  During 2006, PSB recorded greater tax exempt income on securities and bank owned life insurance increase in cash surrender value relative to pre-tax income, lowering the effective tax rate from that in 2005.  See Item 8, Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional tax information.


As described in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, PSB recorded $200 to income on receiving a favorable Tax Court opinion on the TEFRA calculation used to complete PSB’s 1999 through 2002 tax returns.  The IRS may appeal this case to the United States Court of Appeals for review.  If the Tax Court decision is overturned by the Appeals Court in favor of the IRS, PSB will be required to pay additional income tax for the years 1999 through 2002, increasing federal tax expense in the year of final court decision by $200 plus interest until settlement of the case.

Assets at December 31, 2007 were $534.2 million compared to $501.8 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $32.3 million, or 6.5%.  Total loans receivable were $387.1 million at December 31, 2007 compared to $369.7 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $17.4 million, or 4.7%.  Investment securities also grew $17.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2007 primarily from a leveraged security purchase of $15 million funded by a new $13.5 million structured repurchase agreement during the December 2007 quarter.


Total deposits of $402.0 million at December 31, 2007 increased $10.6 million from December 31, 2006, an increase of 2.7%.  However, the retail and local deposits category increased $27.8 million, or 8.6%, which was used in part to pay down wholesale brokered certificates by $17.2 million.   During 2007, PSB also entered into new structured repurchase agreements totaling $20.5 million which were used to purchase $15.0 million in mortgage backed securities and refinance a maturing FHLB advance of $7 million.  Total wholesale funding at December 31, 2007 was $134.1 million, up $2.2 million, or 1.7% from total wholesale funding of $131.9 million at December 31, 2006.


During 2007, a greater percentage of total assets were allocated to securities from the leveraged mortgage backed security purchase in which $15 million of 30 year fixed rate pass through conforming mortgages were purchased with a new $13.5 million structured repurchase agreement.  In addition, certain maturing FHLB advances were refinanced with a repurchase agreement.  The repurchase agreements are classified as other borrowings.  Total deposits as a percentage of assets declined as wholesale brokered certificates of deposit declined $17,231 during 2007.

Investment Securities Portfolio


The investment securities portfolio is intended to provide PSB with adequate liquidity, flexible asset/liability management, and a source of stable income.  During the three years ended December 31, 2007, all securities were classified as available for sale and reported at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings, but are reported as other comprehensive income in a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of income tax.  The following table presents the fair value of securities held by PSB at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005.

Continuing a trend that began during 2006, PSB allocated a greater amount of security purchases toward higher yielding, longer term, tax-exempt obligations during 2007.  Proceeds received on paydowns from collateralized mortgage obligations were reinvested in pass through mortgage backed securities in addition to the leveraged mortgage backed securities purchased as described previously. At December 31, 2007 all mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations were collateralized by conventional conforming residential mortgages, except $732 of private issuer (non agency) jumbo whole loan pools classified above as mortgage backed securities purchased during 2003 to 2006.


The following table categorizes securities by scheduled maturity date and does not take into account the existence of optional calls held by the security issuer.  Therefore, actual funds flow from maturing securities may be different than presented below.  Maturity of mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, some of which call for scheduled monthly payments of principal and interest, are categorized by average principal life of the security.  Yields by security type and maturity are based on amortized security cost.

(1) Weighted average yields on tax-exempt securities have been calculated on a tax-equivalent basis using a rate of 34%.


At December 31, 2007 and 2006, PSB’s securities portfolio did not contain securities of any single issuer where the aggregate carrying value of such securities exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity.


Securities with an approximate carrying value (fair value) of $42,938, and $19,623, at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were pledged primarily to secure public deposits, other borrowings, and for other purposes required by law.  The increase in amount of securities pledged is due to $20.5 million of new repurchase agreements entered into during 2007.


The market value of the investment portfolio as a percentage of book value improved during 2007 as falling market reinvestment rates improved the value of fixed rate securities already held in the PSB portfolio.  At December 31, 2007, market value was 100.7% of amortized cost compared to 99.8% of amortized cost at December 31, 2006.  The net unrealized gain on securities available for sale, recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, was $423, net of deferred taxes of $218 at December 31, 2007 compared to an unrealized loss of $105 net of deferred income taxes of $66 at December 31, 2006.  Unrealized securities gains and losses, net of income tax effects, do not impact the level of regulatory capital under current banking regulations.  Management believes investment security yields have a stabilizing effect on net interest margin during periods of interest rate swings and expects to hold existing securities until maturity or repayment unless such f unds are needed for liquidity due to unexpected loan growth or depositor withdrawals or if the sale is beneficial to PSB’s interest rate risk and return profile.


As a member of the FHLB system, PSB is required to hold stock in the FHLB based on total assets and borrowings advanced to its bank subsidiary.  This stock has a purchase cost and par value of $100 per share.  PSB held $3,017 of FHLB Chicago stock at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The stock is recorded at cost which approximates market value.  Transfer of the stock is substantially restricted.  The FHLB may pay dividends in both cash and additional shares of stock.  In accordance with industry accounting conventions, PSB recorded FHLB dividends in the form of stock as income in the year received.  During 2007, the FHLB suspended dividend payments and announced it was unlikely dividends would be paid during 2008.  The FHLB dividend rate was 5.48% as recently as 2005.  The  FHLB Chicago currently operates under a capital management plan required by their regulatory oversight body, the  Federal Housing Finance Board.   The capital plan prevents the FHLB from repurchasing capital shares from members or from paying dividends unless certain earning and capital minimums are met.  PSB cannot predict when it may receive future dividends on FHLB capital stock.  Due to a heightened level of regulatory oversight and in recognition of stock transfer restrictions, PSB’s investment in FHLB stock has been evaluated for impairment.



26




Loans Receivable


Total loans as presented in the following table include loans held for sale to the secondary market and expected final fully disbursed principal on construction loans not yet fully disbursed at year-end.  Total loans receivable as presented in the table below increased 5.6% to $405,185 during 2007.   During 2007, as in prior years, loan growth was predominantly in the commercial and industrial and commercial real estate mortgage categories.  Growth in these categories is expected to continue to increase as PSB’s strategic plan calls for the bank to be a leader in providing credit and treasury management services to locally owned businesses in its markets.

Commercial real estate loans are originated for a broad range of business purposes including non-owner occupied office rental space, multi-family rental units, owner occupied manufacturing facilities, and owner occupied retail sales space.  PSB has little lending activity for agricultural purposes.  Management of PSB is involved in the communities served by PSB and believes it has a strong understanding of the local economy, its business leaders, and trends in successful business development.  Based on this knowledge, PSB offers flexible terms and efficient approvals which have allowed it to make inroads in this type of lending.

Residential mortgage principal held on the PSB balance sheet declined during 2007 as customers were directed to a variety of secondary market loan programs originated by PSB.  From time to time, PSB retains second mortgage loans on certain high value homes requiring total financing above the conforming secondary market limit after selling the first mortgage into the secondary market.  In addition, some local borrowers require mortgage financing that does not fit one of the secondary market programs or the borrower prefers PSB to hold the loan in its own portfolio.  First and second mortgage loans on the balance sheet generally carry balloon payment terms of five years or less.  As part of the asset/liability and interest rate sensitivity management strategy, PSB generally does not retain long-term 15 to 30 year fixed rate mortgages in its own portfolio.  


Real estate construction loans increased by $6,609, or 22.2%% during 2007, but remain at typical levels based on several years of activity.  Real estate construction loans represented 9.0% of total gross loans at December 31, 2007.  Loans in this classification are primarily short-term loans that provide financing for the acquisition or development of commercial real estate, such as multi-family or other commercial development projects.  PSB retains permanent financing on these projects following completion of construction in a majority of cases.


Installment loans include short-term personal loans, automobile loans, recreational vehicle loans, and credit card loans.  PSB experiences extensive competition from local credit unions offering low rates on installment loans and directs resources toward more profitable lending categories such as residential fixed rate mortgages and commercial real estate lending.  However, due to income tax advantages, many customers appeared to borrow on a tax deductible home equity line of credit for many purposes formerly funded by a consumer installment loan.  Total home equity and installment loans increased $4,034, or 23.3%% during 2007 due to an increase in home equity loans.


The following table categorizes loan principal by scheduled maturity and does not take into account any prepayment options held by the borrower.  The loan portfolio is widely diversified by types of borrowers, industry groups, and market areas.  Significant loan concentrations are considered to exist for a financial institution when there are amounts loaned to numerous borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic conditions.  At December 31, 2007, no concentrations existed in PSB’s portfolio in excess of 10% of total loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses


The loan portfolio is the primary asset subject to credit risk.  Credit risk is controlled through the use of credit standards, review of potential borrowers, and loan payment performance.  Provisions to the allowance for loan losses of $480 during 2007 were similar to the $495 provision during 2006.  The 2007 provision level combined with low net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans (.03%) and net loan growth of just 4.7% increased to the allowance for loan losses to 1.24% of loans from 1.20% of loans as of December 31, 2006.  As of December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 127.7% compared to 104.6%, at December 31, 2006.  In addition to coverage from the allowance for loan losses, nonperforming loans are secured by various collateral including real estate and consumer collateral.

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of an amount adequate to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio.  Adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on management’s ongoing review and grading of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, trends in past due and nonperforming loans, and current economic conditions.  PSB has an internal risk analysis and review staff that continuously reviews loan quality.




29



PSB has historically incurred low net charge off levels as a percentage of average loans outstanding, ranging from a low of .03% (during 2007) to a high of .16% (during 2003) during the past five years.  Loans charged off are subject to continuous review and specific efforts are taken to achieve maximum recovery of principal, accrued interest, and related expenses.


The allocation of the year-end allowance for loan losses for each of the past five years based on management’s estimates of loss exposure by category of loans is shown in the following table.  The allocation methodology applied by PSB focuses on changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio, current and expected economic conditions, the geographic and industry mix of the loan portfolio, and historical losses by category.  The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any segment of the portfolio.  Management allocates the allowance for loan losses by pools of risk and by loan type.  PSB combines estimates of the allowance needed for loans analyzed individually and loans analyzed on a pool basis.  The determination of allocated reserves for larger commercial loans involves a review of individual higher-risk transactions, focusing on loan grading, and assessment of specific loss content and possible resolutions of problem credits.  Whi le management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future adjustments may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and future impacts to specific borrowers.

Nonperforming loans are defined as loans 90 days or more past due but still accruing, nonaccrual loans, including those defined as impaired under current accounting standards, and restructured loans.  Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments.  Previously accrued and uncollected interest on such loans is reversed, and future payments received are applied in full to reduce remaining loan principal.  No income is accrued or recorded on future payments until the loan is returned to accrual status.  Upon return to accrual status, the interest portion of past payments that were applied to reduce nonaccrual principal is taken back into income.  The interest that would have been reported in 2007 if all such loans had been current throughout the year in accordance with their original terms was approximately $351 in comparison to $139 actually recorded in income. The interest that would have bee n reported in 2006 if all such loans had been current throughout the year in accordance with their original terms was approximately $295 in comparison to $110 actually recorded in income.


Restructured loans are also included in nonperforming loans.  Restructured loans involve the granting of concessions to the borrower involving the modification of terms of the loan, such as changes in payment schedule or interest rate, or capitalization of unpaid real estate taxes or unpaid interest.  The majority of restructured loans represent capitalized loan principal and/or interest and real estate taxes that borrowers were unable to repay according to the original repayment terms.  Such loans are subject to senior management review and ongoing monitoring and are made in cases where the borrower’s delinquency is considered short-term from circumstances the borrower is believed able to overcome.

Nonperforming loans at December 31, 2007 decreased $484 to $3,797 from $4,281 at December 31, 2006.  However, foreclosed assets increased slightly from $464 at December 31, 2006 to $653 at December 31, 2007.  Taken together nonperforming loans and foreclosed assets decreased $295, or 6.2% at December 31, 2007 compared to the prior year.   Nonperforming loans to gross loans was .97%% at December 31, 2007, compared to 1.14% at December 2006.  PSB also tracks delinquencies on a contractual basis quarter to quarter since some problem loans currently making payments remain on non-accrual status until ongoing ability to repay according to the contract is shown.  Loans contractually delinquent 30 days or more as a percentage of gross loans were .63% at December 2007 compared to 1.12%% at December 2006.  Nonaccrual loans as of December 31, 2007 are well diversified between approximately 67 unrelated relationships with the top five largest individual nonaccrual relationships representing 34% or $1,066 of total nonaccrual loans.  The largest nonaccrual commercial loan principal balance is $251 and the largest residential mortgage nonaccrual loan principal balance is $339.  Nonaccrual loans as of December 31, 2006 were also well diversified between approximately 60 unrelated relationships with the largest individual nonaccrual relationship (a commercial real estate loan) totaling $688 on which PSB was repaid without loss by an unrelated lender during 2007.  


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements


As a FHLB MPF loan servicer, PSB has provided a credit enhancement guarantee to reimburse the FHLB for foreclosure losses in excess of 1% of the original loan principal sold to the FHLB.  Refer to Item 8, Notes 4, 5, and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the FHLB MPF program.  These first mortgage loans are underwritten using standardized criteria considered by management to be conservative on residential properties in PSB’s local communities.  Management believes loans serviced for the FHLB will realize minimal foreclosure losses in the future and that PSB will experience no loan losses related to charge-offs in excess of the FHLB 1% loss pool.  The central and northern Wisconsin residential real estate market typically does not experience as wide of upward and downward swings in housing values as in other areas of the country.  The average residential first mortgage originated by PSB under the FHLB program was approxi mately $140 in 2007 and $144 during 2006.  Management does not expect to be significantly impacted by loss exposure if housing values drop from a substantial increase in future mortgage lending rates or other local economic factors.




31



Under bank regulatory capital rules, this FHLB recourse obligation to the FHLB is risk-weighted for the purposes of the total capital to risk-weighted assets capital calculation.  Total risk-based capital required to be held for the recourse obligations under the FHLB MPF programs for capital adequacy purposes was $1,079 at December 31, 2007, and $937 at December 31, 2006.  During 2008, as new loans continue to be originated under the new program, risk based capital needs will increase equal to additional recourse obligations.  However, in light of the existing capital structure of PSB and anticipated activity in loan originations during 2008, management does not expect these capital requirements to impact operations in the near-term.


PSB is party to limited off balance sheet activity but did enter into a stand alone interest rate swap to convert fixed rate funding to variable during 2005.  This interest rate swap was prepaid during 2007.  Refer to Item 8, Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the financial impacts during 2007 and 2006 prior to its prepayment.  


During 2007, PSB entered into a contract to guarantee repayment of a customer interest rate swap and letter of credit to a correspondent bank in exchange for an underwriting fee and a first mortgage lien on commercial real estate whose purchase was financed as a part of the transaction.  Refer to Item 8, Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the extent of the guarantee and the recourse liability recorded in the balance sheets.


Other significant off-balance sheet financial instruments include the various loan commitments outlined in Item 8, Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  These lending commitments are a traditional and customary part of lending operations and many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon.  


Liquidity and Capital Resources


A majority of asset growth during 2007 was funded with an increase in local deposits, reversing a trend seen in previous years.  During 2007, local deposits increased $27,822, or 8.6% while wholesale funding increased $2,181, or 1.7%.  Wholesale funding includes FHLB advances, brokered certificates of deposits, repurchase agreements, and federal funds purchased.  These sources of wholesale funding are limited both by the wholesale lender’s ability to raise individual depositor funds and by internal policy limitations on aggregate exposure to use of such funds.  The following table outlines in summary form the sources and uses of cash for the three years ending December 31, 2007.

Deposits


Core retail deposits are PSB’s largest source of funds.  PSB considers core retail deposits to include noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest bearing demand and savings deposits, money market demand deposits, and retail time deposits less than $100.  Core retail deposits represented 54.8% and 54.2% of total assets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  In addition to core certificates of deposit, local certificates with balances greater than $100 increased $7,076, or 13.8% during 2007.  Despite being held by local customers, these large certificates are not considered core funds as the balances are often temporary and subject to origination from a financial institution offering the highest interest rate bid on a frequent basis.  PSB’s retail deposit growth is continuously influenced by competitive pressure from other financial institutions, as well as other investment opportunities available to customers.  The following table outl ines the average distribution of deposits during the three years ending December 31, 2007.

PSB’s introduction of its new Reward Checking product had a substantial impact on deposit distribution during 2007.  Reward Checking operates as a traditional interest bearing checking account but pays a premium interest rate and reimbursement of foreign ATM fees if the customer meets certain account usage requirements.  In general, the account requires customers to use their debit card at least 10 times per month, deposit their employer paycheck via ACH, and receive their periodic checking statement via email over the PSB home banking website.  The premium interest rate paid during 2007 was 6.01% annual percentage yield (APY) on the first $25 of account balance.  Accounts balances greater than $25 were paid 1.00% APY.  Customers not meeting any one of the account usage requirements were paid .25% APY on their entire balance.  The Rewards Checking product was very well received by both existing and new customers.  Some existing customers generally moved funds previously held in noninterest bearing demand deposit accounts and low rate savings accounts, decreasing the level of average noninterest bearing demand deposits as indicated in the table above.  However, average interest bearing demand deposit balances increased from these transferred deposits as well as new customer deposits.  The Rewards Checking interest rate is adjustable at the discretion of PSB, but is intended to be the highest retail deposit rate product available to customers.  The debit card usage requirement substantially increased the amount of debit card interchange income as described previously under the section titled “Noninterest income”.  The all-in cost of Reward Checking balances was substantially greater than previously paid on existing demand deposit or low rate savings balances.  Disintermediation of these existing funds into the higher cost Rewards Checking lowered net interest income during 2007.  However, the cost of Reward Check ing deposits is less than wholesale funding alternatives and is believed to be a long-term cost effective source of funds in addition to providing PSB with a competitive advantage in the retail banking environment.  




34



During 2007, money market demand deposits increased 7.8% from promotion of PSB’s Signature money market account, which pays premium interest rates on balances greater than $10.  In addition, several customers during 2007 used this account to hold large blocks of funds on a temporary basis until resolution of final transactions or legal situations.  These large accounts increased average money market balances.  PSB does not expect this level of individually large money market account holdings to continue during 2008.


PSB holds retail and local time deposits collected under the “Certificate of Deposit Account Registry System” (CDARS), a nation-wide program in which network banks work together to obtain greater FDIC insurance on deposits through sharing of banking charters.  Such deposits are typically greater than $100 in balance and average balances of CDARS deposits were $10,548 during 2007 and $10,776 during 2006.  For regulatory purposes, these deposits are considered brokered deposits and disclosed as such on quarterly regulatory filings.  However, for internal and external reporting other than for Call Report purposes, these deposits are considered to be retail deposits since the terms of the account are set directly between PSB and its local customer on a retail basis.  Accordingly, these deposits are included as “Retail time deposits $100 and over” in the Tables in this section.  Total CDARS deposits totaled $11,024 and $10,367 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

PSB internal policy allows broker funds to be used up to 20% of total assets.  Available and unused broker deposits were approximately $56,137 and $32,437 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, under this policy.  The table below outlines maturities of time deposits of $100 or more, including broker and retail time deposits.  Management is aware of the potential volatility of broker deposits due to funds flowing out of the banking system and into other investment vehicles, and other factors, that could increase the incremental cost of obtaining these types of deposits.  Broker deposits represent just one potential wholesale financing source in addition to FHLB advances and repurchase agreements.




35



Due to securities pledging on new structured repurchase agreements during 2007, and adverse impacts from holding additional FHLB common stock, brokered certificate of deposit funding is expected to increase during 2008 to the extent loan growth is not funded with local deposit growth.  Due to ongoing liquidity issues from some of the nations largest financial institutions that began with the July 2007 credit and liquidity crisis brought on by sub-prime mortgage issues, brokered certificate funding costs are elevated compared to equivalent repurchase agreement or FHLB advance costs.  To the extent local deposit growth does not fund incremental PSB loan growth, net interest income and net interest spread may be adversely impacted from funding with brokered certificates of deposit during 2008.

Contractual Obligations


PSB is party to various contractual obligations requiring use of funds as part of its normal operations.  The table below outlines the principal amounts and timing of these obligations, excluding amounts due for interest, if applicable.  Most of these obligations, including time deposits, are routinely refinanced into a similar replacement obligation without requiring any substantial outflow of cash.  However, renewal of these obligations is dependent on PSB’s ability to offer competitive market equivalent interest rates or availability of collateral for pledging such as retained mortgage loans or securities as in the case of advances from the FHLB.  PSB’s funds management policy includes a formal liquidity contingency plan to identify low cost and liquid funds available in the event of a liquidity crisis.

Liquidity, Funding Sources, and Interest Rate Sensitivity


Primary short-term and long-term funding sources other than retail deposits include federal funds purchased from other correspondent banks, repurchase agreements from security pledging, advances from the FHLB, and use of wholesale time deposits.  The following table outlines the available and unused portion of these funding sources (based on collateral and/or company policy limitations) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.  Currently unused but available funding sources along with local deposit raising activities are considered sufficient to fund anticipated 2008 asset growth.

Overnight federal funds purchased totaling $32,500 are available through four correspondent banks.  These lines are not supported by a formal written arrangement, but represent best efforts ability on the part of correspondent banks to raise these funds on a daily basis.  The cost of these funds is subject to change based on changes in the discount rate as determined by the Federal Reserve.  In some cases, PSB may maintain a continuous position in overnight federal funds purchased up to 14 days before amounts must be liquidated for at least one business day.  Consideration of the need for federal funds purchased is part of PSB’s daily cash management and funding procedures and represents the first source of liquidity as needed.


Under the existing credit line with the FHLB described in Item 8, Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, PSB may borrow on qualifying existing mortgage loan collateral.  In addition, PSB may pledge certain investment securities to obtain additional funding under repurchase agreements.  FHLB advances carry substantial penalties for early prepayment that are generally not recovered from the lower interest rates in refinancing.  The amount of early prepayment penalty is a function of the difference between the current borrowing rate, and the rate currently available for refinancing.  FHLB advance funding may be obtained for various terms on a daily basis at PSB’s request, and represents PSB’s second source of liquidity as needed after federal funds purchased.  Additional FHLB advances aggregating greater than $60,000 would require PSB to purchase additional FHLB capital stock equal to 5% of additional advances. FHLB stock currently pays no dividend potentially raising the cost of FHLB advances compared to other funding sources.


Repurchase agreements represent overnight and long-term funding in exchange for securities owned by PSB for a designated time period for an agreed upon interest rate.  Item 8, Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements outlines the activity in these other borrowings and federal funds purchased during the three years ending December 31, 2007.  Although PSB does not currently have any repurchase agreements with the FHLB, it does have a written agreement providing for their use in exchange for securities held.  An additional $19,865 and $25,092 of FHLB funding could have been obtained upon pledge of these available securities as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.




37



Due to favorable interest rates relative to other wholesale funding alternatives, PSB entered into several structured repurchase agreements during 2007.  These agreements were entered into to refinance maturity FHLB advances and to purchase mortgage backed securities in a leverage securities transaction.  Refer to Item 8, Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on terms of the repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2007.


As described in the changes in deposits and deposit activity above, wholesale broker deposits have represented a significant source of asset growth funding during the past several years.  PSB’s policy allows up to 20% of assets to be funded with wholesale time deposits.  Wholesale time deposits as a percentage of assets were 9.5% and 13.5% of total assets at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.


PSB at the parent company level maintains an unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank for borrowing up to $1 million for stock buybacks and other corporate purposes.  The line of credit is scheduled to renew annually and was unused during 2007.


PSB’s asset-liability management process provides a unified approach to management of liquidity, capital, and interest rate risk, as well as providing adequate funds to support the borrowing requirements and deposit flow of its customers.  Management views 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.  


Management’s overall strategy is to coordinate the volume of rate sensitive assets and liabilities to minimize the impact of interest rate movement on the net interest margin.  The following table represents PSB’s earning sensitivity to changes in interest rates at December 31, 2007.  It is a static indicator which does not reflect various repricing characteristics and may not indicate the sensitivity of net interest income in a changing interest rate environment.  The following repricing methodologies should be noted:


1.

Money market deposit accounts and high yield interest bearing demand (NOW) accounts are considered fully repriced within 90 days.  Retail priced standard rate NOW and savings deposits are considered “core” deposits as they are generally insensitive to interest rate changes.  These deposits are considered to reprice beyond 5 years.


2.

Nonaccrual loans are considered to reprice beyond 5 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 following table reflects a liability sensitive (“negative”) gap position during the next year, with a cumulative one-year gap ratio as of December 31, 2007 of 92.2% compared to a negative gap of 95.5% at December 31, 2006.  A current negative gap could be favorable in a falling interest rate environment.  However, net interest income is impacted not only by the timing of product repricing, but the extent of the change in pricing which could be severely limited from local competitive pressures.  This factor can result in change to net interest income from changing interest rates different than expected from review of the gap table.

PSB uses financial modeling techniques to measure interest rate risk.  These policies 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.  PSB also uses various policy measures to assess adequacy of liquidity and interest rate risk as described below.


Basic Surplus


PSB measures 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.  However, basic surplus does include unused but available FHLB advances under the open line of credit supported by a blanket lien on mortgage collateral.  Basic surplus does not include available brokered certificate of deposit funding as those funds generally may not be obtained within one business day following the request for funding.  PSB’s policy is to maintain a basic surplus of at least 5%.  Basic surplus was 7.4% and 10.1% at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  &n bsp;The basic surplus declined during 2007 as investment securities previously considered liquid assets were pledged against repurchase agreements even as brokered certificates declined substantially.




39



Interest Rate Risk Limits


PSB balances 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, PSB models interest rate simulations on a quarterly basis.  PSB’s 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 DDA, NOW, and non-maturity savings accounts (except high yield NOW and money market accounts) are also considered core long-term funding sources.  The core funding utilization ratio is defined as assets that reprice in excess of 60 months divided by core funding.  PSB’s target for the core funding utilization ratio is to remain at 80% or below given the same 200 basis point changes in rates that apply to the guidelines for interest rate risk limits exposure described previously.   PSB’s core fund utilization ratio after a projected 200 basis point increase in rates was 69.3% and 56.7% at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The core fundin g utilization ratio increased during 2007 due to the leveraged securities trade which purchased $15 million of long-term securities funded by repurchase agreements with expected issuer puts in a rising rate environment after lock-out periods that expire in 2009 and 2010.


Capital Adequacy


PSB is required to maintain minimum levels of capital to be considered well-capitalized under current banking regulation.  Refer to Item 8, Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for these requirements and PSB’s current capital position relative to these requirements.  The primary increase in stockholders’ equity during the three years ending December 31, 2007 has been retained net income not distributed to stockholders via cash dividends or share buybacks on the open market.  Failure to remain well-capitalized would prevent PSB from obtaining future wholesale broker time deposits which have been an important source of funding during the past several years.  Refer to Item 8, Statement of Changes in Stockholder’s Equity in the Consolidated Financial

Statements for detailed activity in the capital accounts.  Average tangible capital to total assets was 6.99%  and 7.06% during 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The following table presents a reconciliation of stockholders’ equity as presented in the December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 consolidated balance sheets to regulatory capital.

Capital increased $4,894 during 2007 from net income, unrealized gains in the securities available for sale portfolio and employee exercise of stock options before payment of dividends and treasury stock buybacks totaling $2,726.  PSB pays a regular semi-annual cash dividend as described in Item 5 of this Annual Report of Form 10-K.  In addition, PSB maintains an informal, annual, ongoing share repurchase program of up to 1% of outstanding shares per year as described in Item 5 of this Annual Report of Form 10-K.  Although PSB is currently purchasing treasury shares under the buyback program, management may pursue a growth strategy which could require significant capital to be maintained to support asset growth, possibly eliminating the informal buyback program.


Regulatory capital increased significantly during 2005 from issuance of trust preferred securities represented by junior subordinated debentures on the consolidated balance sheets.  Refer to Item 8, Note 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for detailed information on the trust preferred security issue.  Trust preferred securities may provide up to 25% of PSB’s total Tier 1 regulatory capital.  As of December, 31, 2007, PSB could utilize up to $4,534 of additional trust preferred securities proceeds as additional Tier 1 regulatory capital.  


PSB maintains an incentive stock option plan approved by stockholders during 2001 as described in Item 8, Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  As of December 31, 2007, all shares available under the plan have been granted and no shares of common stock remained reserved for future grants.

Critical Accounting Estimates


Allowance for Loan Losses


Current accounting standards call for the allowance for loan losses to include both specific losses on identified problem loans (Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”) and “inherent” losses on existing loan pools not yet considered problem loans (SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”).  Determination of the allowance for loan losses at period-end is based primarily on subjective factors and management assessment of risk in the existing portfolio.  Actual results, if significantly different from that using estimates at period-end, could have a material impact on the results of operations.


Loans receivable, for the purpose of estimating the allowance for loan losses, are separated into four primary categories – residential real estate loan pool, consumer installment loan pool, specifically identified problem commercial loans, and pools of non-problem commercial purposes loans subcategorized by credit risk assessment.  PSB makes the following estimates and performs the following procedures when setting the allowance for loan losses at period-end:


1.

Categorize existing loan principal into either commercial purpose loans, a pool of residential real estate loans, or a pool of consumer installment loans.


2.

Commercial purpose loans are subcategorized into credit risk “grades” based on an internal determination of risk established during credit analysis and updated no less than annually.  Determination of risk grades takes into account several factors including collateral, cash flow, borrower’s industry environment, financial statement strength, and other factors.  PSB uses six risk grades for performing commercial purpose loans including separate risk grades for “watch” and “special mention” loans.


3.

Identified problem loans are classified into the lowest quality risk grades and individually reviewed to determine specific reserves required for each relationship depending on the specific collateral and timing of cash flows to be received.  The allowance for loan losses provided for these problem loans is based substantially on management’s estimates related the value of collateral, timing of cash flows to be received from the borrower or sale of the collateral, and likelihood of the specific borrower’s ability to repay all amounts due without foreclosure of collateral.  Management updates the cash flow analysis of problem loan relationships quarterly.


4.

Other commercial loans not considered to be problem loans are assigned an estimated loan loss allowance based on historical “inherent” losses for loans of similar credit risk.  These allowances range from .25% of principal to 2% of principal depending on the four assigned credit risk grades for non-problem performing commercial loans.  Performing loans placed on the “watch” list and the “special mention” list are assigned “inherent” losses of 5% and 10% of principal, respectively.  An inaccurate assignment of credit risk grade to a loan relationship could significantly change the actual levels of allowances required for that loan, and therefore management’s assigned of credit risk is a significant estimate.  Management reviews actual long-term losses in comparison to the inherent losses assigned by credit risk grade and updates allowance percentages as needed.


5.

Similar to nonproblem commercial purpose loans, inherent losses are assigned to the residential real estate loan pool.  However, since residential real estate loan risk characteristics are very similar from borrower to borrower, a flat percentage loss of principal is applied to real estate loans rather than breaking the pool into subcategories of credit risk.  The percentage applied is based primarily on historical losses on similar residential loan pools.  An inaccurate estimate of inherent losses related to the real estate loan pool could significantly increase the actual levels of allowances required.


6.

Similar to the residential real estate loan pool, consumer installment loans are assigned an estimated loss based on a flat percentage of principal outstanding.  The percentage applied is based primarily on historical losses on similar consumer installment loan pools.  An inaccurate estimate of inherent losses related to the consumer installment loan pool could significantly increase the actual levels of allowances required.




42



After calculating the estimate of required allowances for loan losses using the steps above, an analysis of the level of problem and past due loans is made relative to the aggregate allowance for loan losses recorded.  If past due and problem loans rise significantly, additional unallocated reserves may be recorded to account for this additional risk of loss before it is recognized by the change in commercial credit risk grades, or increase in the historical inherent loss percentage assigned to the real estate and consumer installment loan pools in the allowance for loan losses calculation.  As of December 31, 2007, there was no unallocated loan loss allowances recorded.

As required by current accounting standards (SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets”), PSB records a mortgage servicing right asset (“MSR”) when PSB continues to service borrower payments and maintenance activities on loans in which the principal has been sold to the FHLB or other secondary market investors.  PSB’s MSR calculation is calculated on an individual loan level basis and uses public financial market information for many of the significant estimates.  PSB makes the following estimates and performs the following procedures when accounting for MSRs:


1.

Serviced loans are stratified by risk of prepayment criteria.  Currently, strata are first based on the year in which the loan was originated, then on term, and then on the range of interest rates within that term.  


2.

PSB uses the discount approach to generate the initial value for the OMSR.  It takes the average of the current dealer consensus on prepayment speeds as reported to Reuters or the prepayment speed implied in the mortgage backed security prices for newly created loans along with other assumptions to general an estimate of future cash flows.  The present value of estimated cash flows equals the fair value of the OMSR.  PSB capitalizes the lower of fair value or cost of the OMSR.  Other than the estimate of public dealer consensus of prepayment speeds, significant fair value and cost estimates include:


Ø

Servicing cost of $60 per loan annually

Ø

Cash flow discount rate of 8.25% to 10%, depending on year of origination

Ø

Short-term reinvestment rate on the float of payments to investors equal to the Federal Funds Sold rate


Changes in these estimates and assumptions would change the initial value recorded for OMSRs and change the gain on sale of mortgage loans recorded in the income statement.


3.

Amortization of the OMSR is calculated based on actual payment activity on a per loan basis.  Because all loans are handled individually, curtailments decrease MSRs as well as regularly scheduled payments.  The loan servicing value is amortized on a level yield basis.


4.

Significant declines in current market mortgage interest rates decrease the fair value of existing MSRs due to the increase in anticipated prepayments above the original assumed speed.  Accounting standards at December 31, 2007 require that impairment testing be performed and that MSRs be recorded at the lower of fair value or amortized cost.  PSB performs quarterly impairment testing on its MSRs.  Actual prepayment speeds (based on actual PSB customer activity on a loan level basis) are compared to the assumed prepayment speed on the date of the last quarterly impairment testing (or the origination prepayment speed if a new loan).  The fair value assumptions other than prepayment speed are combined with the new estimated prepayment speed to create a new fair value.  An impairment allowance is recorded for any shortfall between the new fair value and the original cost after adjusting for past amortization and curtailments.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (dollars in thousands except per share data)


NOTE 1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Principal Business Activity


PSB Holdings, Inc. operates Peoples State Bank (the “Bank”), a full-service financial institution chartered as a Wisconsin commercial bank with eight locations in a primary service area including, but not limited to, Marathon, Oneida, and Vilas Counties, Wisconsin.  It provides a variety of banking products, including uninsured investment and insurance products, long-term fixed rate residential mortgages, and commercial treasury management services.


Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PSB Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary Peoples State Bank.  Peoples State Bank owns and operates a Nevada subsidiary, PSB Investments, Inc., to manage the Bank’s investment securities.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.  The accounting and reporting policies of PSB conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to the general practices within the banking industry.  Any reference to “PSB” refers to the consolidated or individual operations of PSB Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary Peoples State Bank.


Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements


The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash Equivalents


For purposes of reporting cash flows in the consolidated financial statements, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits and money market funds, and federal funds sold, all of which have original maturities of three months or less.


Securities


Securities are assigned an appropriate classification at the time of purchase in accordance with management’s intent.  Securities held to maturity represent those debt securities for which PSB has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity.  PSB has no held-to-maturity securities.


Trading securities include those securities bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near future.  PSB has no trading securities.  


Securities not classified as either securities held to maturity or trading securities are considered available for sale and reported at fair value determined from estimates of brokers or other sources.  Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings but are reported as other comprehensive income, net of income tax effects, in a separate component of stockholders’ equity.  Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the estimated lives of the securities.  Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific-identification method.


Declines in fair value of securities that are deemed to be other than temporary, if applicable, are reflected in earnings as realized losses.  In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of PSB to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.



50



Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (dollars in thousands except per share data)



Loans Held for Sale


PSB sells substantially all long-term fixed-rate single-family mortgage loans it originates to the secondary market.  The gain or loss associated with sales of single-family mortgage loans is recorded as a component of mortgage banking revenue.


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.  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.


In sales of mortgage loans to the FHLB, PSB retains a secondary portion of the credit risk on the underlying loans in exchange for a credit enhancement fee.  When applicable, PSB records a recourse liability to provide for potential credit losses.  Because the loans involved in these transactions are similar to those in PSB’s loans held for investment, the review of the adequacy of the recourse liability is similar to the review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (refer to “Allowance for Loan Losses”).


Loans


Loans that management has the intent to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans.  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 and the collection of principal becomes reasonably assured.  Interest income recognition on loans considered to be impaired is consistent with the recognition on all other loans.


Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.


Allowance for Loan Losses


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 the collectibility of the principal is unlikely.  


Management believes the allowance for loan losses is appropriate and covers 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 based on events that have occurred 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 commercial purpose loans which have been judged to be impaired.  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 homogeneous loans, such as mortgage and consumer loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Specific allowances on impaired loans are based on discounted cash flows of expected future payments using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the 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.


Foreclosed Assets


Real estate and other property acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure 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.


Premises and Equipment


Premises and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method and is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets varying primarily from 30 to 40 years on buildings, 5 to 10 years on furniture and equipment, and 3 years on computer hardware and software.  Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred.  Gains or losses on disposition of property and equipment are reflected in income.  


Mortgage Servicing Rights


PSB services the single-family mortgages it sells to the FHLB and Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA).  Servicing mortgage loans includes such functions as collecting monthly payments of principal and interest from borrowers, passing such payments through to third-party investors, maintaining escrow accounts for taxes and insurance, and making such payments when they are due.  When necessary, servicing mortgage loans also includes functions related to the collection of delinquent principal and interest payments, loan foreclosure proceedings, and disposition of foreclosed real estate.  PSB generally earns a servicing fee of 25 basis points on the outstanding loan balance for performing these services as well as fees and interest income from ancillary sources such as delinquency charges and float.  Servicing fee income is recorded as a component of mortgage banking revenue, net of the amortization and charges described in the following paragraphs.


PSB records originated mortgage servicing rights (OMSR) as a component of mortgage banking income when the obligation to service such loans has been retained.  The initial value recorded for OMSR is based on the relative values of the servicing fee adjusted for expected future costs to service the loans, as well as income and fees expected to be received from ancillary sources, as previously described.  The carrying value of OMSR is amortized against service fee income in proportion to estimated gross servicing revenues, net of estimated costs of servicing, adjusted for expected prepayments.  In addition to this periodic amortization, the carrying value of OMSR associated with loans that actually prepay is also charged against servicing fee income as amortization.


The carrying value of OMSR recorded in PSB’s Consolidated Balance Sheets (“mortgage servicing rights” or “MSRs”) is subject to impairment because of changes in loan prepayment expectations and in market discount rates used to value the future cash flows associated with such assets.  In valuing MSRs, PSB stratifies the loans by year of origination, term of the loan, and range of interest rates within each term.  If, based on a periodic evaluation, the estimated fair value of the MSRs related to a particular stratum is determined to be less than its carrying value, a valuation allowance is recorded against such stratum and against PSB’s loan servicing fee income, which is included as a component of mortgage banking revenue.  The valuation allowance is calculated using the current outstanding principal balance of the related loans, long-term prepayment assumptions as provided by independent sources, a market-based discount rate, and other manage ment assumptions related to future costs to service the loans, as well as ancillary sources of income.


Federal Home Loan Bank Stock


As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, PSB is required to hold stock in the FHLB based on asset size and the level of borrowings advanced to PSB.  This stock is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.  The stock is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis.  Transfer of the stock is substantially restricted.  



52

Bank-Owned Life Insurance


PSB has purchased life insurance policies on certain officers.  Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value.  Changes in cash surrender value are recorded in other income.


Retirement Plans


PSB maintains a defined contribution 401(k) profit sharing plan which covers substantially all full-time employees.


Income Taxes


Deferred income taxes have been provided under the liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in the deferred tax asset and liability and is a component of the provision for income taxes.  Interest and penalties due on income tax obligations are recorded as additional income tax expense.


Advertising and Promotional Costs


Costs relating to PSB’s advertising and promotion are generally expensed when paid.


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.


Rate Lock Commitments


PSB enters into commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments).  Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives.  Rate lock commitments are recorded only to the extent of fees received since recording the estimated fair value of these commitments would not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.  


Fair Values of Financial Instruments


Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed separately.  Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.  Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.  The fair value estimates of existing on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments do not include the value of anticipated future business or the values of assets and liabilities not considered financial instruments.


Segment Information


PSB, through a branch network of its banking subsidiary, provides a full range of consumer and commercial banking services to individuals, businesses, and farms in north central Wisconsin.  These services include demand, time, and savings deposits; safe deposit services; credit cards; notary services; night depository; money orders, traveler’s checks, and cashier’s checks; savings bonds; secured and unsecured consumer, commercial, and real estate loans; ATM processing; cash management; and financial planning.  While PSB’s chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of various PSB products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a companywide basis.  Accordingly, all of PSB’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Stock-Based Compensation


PSB uses the fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is normally the vesting period.    During the periods prior to January 1, 2006, PSB followed the provisions of Accounting Principals Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and used the “intrinsic value method” of recording stock-based compensation cost.  Under the intrinsic method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.


Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)


Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is shown on the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity.  PSB’s accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is composed of the unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale, net of tax, and is shown on the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity.


Current Year Accounting Changes


In 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments.  This statement amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.  Among other things, SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and establishes a requirement to evaluate interest in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation.  SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued by PSB beginning January 1, 2007.  The adoption of SFAS No. 155 did not have a material effect on PSB’s financial statements.


In 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets.  This statement amends SFAS No. 140 with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities such as PSB’s mortgage servicing rights.  Among other things, SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or fair value measurement method to subsequently measure and report each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.  It also requires additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.  SFAS No. 156 was effective for PSB on January 1, 2007 when PSB elected to continue to account for its mortgage servicing rights under the amortization method.  Adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have a materia l effect on PSB’s financial condition or results of operations.


In 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in PSB’s tax returns.  This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  FIN 48 became effective for PSB on January 1, 2007.  Upon adoption, PSB had no significant uncertain tax positions with a potentially material liability, and the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on its financial statements.


During 2006, PSB adopted SFAS No. 123, Share-Based Payment, which requires all share-based awards and compensation to be reflected in earnings.  Prior to the date of adoption, PSB’s stock option plan was fully granted with no additional shares available for grant.  There were no stock options granted during the three years ended December 31, 2006.  Adoption of this accounting change did not have an effect on PSB’s financial condition or results of operations.

Future Accounting Changes


In 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.  This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principals generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for PSB’s financial statements issued after January 1, 2008.  PSB believes the adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on its financial statements.


In 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities.  The statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assts and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  This statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.  SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued beginning January 1, 2008.  PSB believes adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on its financial statements.


The FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements, was issued during 2006 and EITF Issue No. 06-10, Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements, was issued during 2007 to be effective for PSB on January 1, 2008.  These EITF Issues clarify that deferred compensation or postretirement or postemployment benefits should be accounted for separately from related investments in split-dollar bank-owned life insurance (BOLI).  The benefits of the life insurance investment should be calculated based on the substantive agreement and the plan costs accrued for over the requisite service period.  Adoption of EITF Issues No. 06-4 and 06-10 is not expected to have a material effect on PSB’s financial condition or results of operations.   


Reclassifications


Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.


NOTE 2

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS


PSB is required to maintain a certain reserve balance, in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank, based upon a percentage of transactional deposits.  The total required reserve balance was approximately $249 and $252 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.


In the normal course of business, PSB maintains cash and due from bank balances with correspondent banks.  Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100.  PSB also maintains cash balances in money market funds.  Such balances are not insured.  Uninsured cash and cash equivalent balances totaled $18,504 and $13,448 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

At December 31, 2007, 54 debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 1.0% from the amortized cost basis.  These unrealized losses relate principally to an increase in interest rates relative to interest rates in effect at the time of purchase and are not due to changes in the financial condition of the issuers.  In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by a government body or agency, whether a rating agency has downgraded the securities, and industry analysts’ reports.  Since management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity (or the foreseeable future for securities available for sale), no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

Under a secondary market loan servicing program with the FHLB, PSB in exchange for a monthly fee provides a credit enhancement guarantee to reimburse the FHLB for foreclosure losses in excess of 1% of original loan principal sold to the FHLB.  At December 31, 2007, PSB serviced payments on $169,777 of first lien residential loan principal for the FHLB.  At December 31, 2007, the maximum PSB obligation for such guarantees would be approximately $1,538 if total foreclosure losses on the entire pool of loans exceed approximately $3,688.  Management believes the likelihood of a reimbursement for loss payable to the FHLB beyond the monthly credit enhancement fee is remote.  PSB recognizes the credit enhancement fee as mortgage banking income when received in cash and does not maintain any recourse liability for possible losses.

The rate on the adjustable rate FHLB advance at December 31, 2007, resets daily based on a spread over the FHLB’s effective federal funds rate.  At December 31, 2007, fixed rate advances maturing in 2010 include $4,000 in advances that carry a one-time optional issuer (FHLB) put back to PSB during 2008 at par.


FHLB advances are subject to a prepayment penalty if they are repaid prior to maturity.  PSB may draw upon an FHLB open line of credit up to approximately 65% of unencumbered 1-4 family residential first mortgage loans and 44% of residential junior mortgage loans pledged as collateral out of its portfolio.  The FHLB advances are also secured by $3,017 of FHLB stock owned by PSB at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  PSB may draw both short-term and long-term advances on a maximum line of credit totaling approximately $80,571 based on residential real estate mortgage collateral totaling $117,355 as of December 31, 2007.  At December 31, 2007, PSB’s available and unused portion of this line of credit totaled approximately $23,571.  PSB also has, under a current agreement with the FHLB, an ability to borrow up to $19,865 by pledging securities available for sale.


FHLB advances drawn by PSB totaling greater than $60,340 require PSB to purchase additional shares of FHLB stock.

OTHER BORROWINGS


Other borrowings consist of federal funds purchased of $2,492 at December 31, 2007, and securities sold under both short-term and long-term repurchase agreements totaling $23,915 and $3,995 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.


PSB pledges various securities available for sale as collateral for repurchase agreements.  The fair value of securities pledged for repurchase agreements totaled $24,765 and $5,062 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

During 2007, PSB entered into a line of credit at the parent holding company level for advances up to $1 million which expires in March 2008.  The line carries a variable rate of interest based on changes in the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.50%.  As of December 31, 2007, no advances were outstanding on the line of credit.


NOTE 10

JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES


PSB has issued $7,732 of junior subordinated debentures to PSB Holdings Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) in connection with an issue of trust preferred securities during 2005.  The subordinated debentures mature in 2035 and carry an initial fixed rate of 5.82% until September 2010.  Following the fixed period, the rate is adjusted quarterly to the three month LIBOR plus 1.70%.  Total interest expense on the junior subordinate debentures was $454 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The subordinated debentures may be called by PSB in part or in full on September 15, 2010, and quarterly thereafter.


PSB has fully and unconditionally guaranteed all the obligations of the Trust.  The guarantee covers the quarterly distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities to the extent of the funds held by the Trust.  The trust preferred securities qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes.


NOTE 11

RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS


PSB has established a 401(k) profit sharing plan for its employees.  PSB matches 50% of employees’ salary deferrals up to the first 6% of pay deferred.  PSB also may declare a discretionary profit sharing contribution.  The expense recognized for contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $309, $310, and $315, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (dollars in thousands except per share data)


PSB maintains deferred compensation agreements with certain executives at December 31, 2007.  PSB matches 20% of the amount of employees' salary deferrals up to the first 15% of pay deferred.  PSB directors may elect to defer earned director fees into a separate deferred directors' fees plan.  No PSB match is made on directors’ fees deferred.  Cumulative deferred balances earn a crediting rate generally equal to 50% of PSB's return on average equity through 2007.  The crediting will generally be 100% of PSB’s return on average equity beginning in 2008.  The agreements provide for benefits to be paid in a lump sum at retirement or in monthly installments for a period up to 15-years commencing the month following each participant's normal retirement date.  PSB is accruing this liability over the participant’s remaining periods of service.  The liability outstanding under the agreements was $1,187 and $965 at December 31, 2007 and 2006 , respectively.  The amount charged to operations was $62, $99, and $127 for 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.


PSB maintains an unfunded, postretirement health care benefit plan for certain currently retired bank officers and their spouses.  Benefits were earned by these participants prior to their retirement and prior to curtailments of the plan during 2003 and 2005.  Under the plan, PSB pays 30% to 50% of health insurance premiums depending on years of service at retirement.  Plan benefits for these retired officers continue until the officer’s death.  No current employees are eligible for benefits under this plan.  At December 31, 2007, there were four retirees receiving benefits.  The liability for future postretirement health care benefits was $152 and $180 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Postretirement health care benefit plan (income) expense was $(22), $(38), and $8 in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.


During 2007 and 2006, PSB entered into severance agreements with former executives that provided lump sum payments or continuation of salary called for under previous employment agreements and health insurance premium costs until reaching age 65.  The liability for benefits under the agreements was $112 and $192 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Severance plan expense recorded by PSB for all severance agreements totaled $146 and $167 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.


NOTE 12

SELF-FUNDED HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN


PSB has established an employee medical benefit plan to self-insure claims up to $50 per year for each individual with a $1,086 stop-loss per year for participants in the aggregate.  Coverages in 2008 will be $55 per individual with no stop-loss for participants in the aggregate.  PSB and its covered employees contribute to the fund to pay the claims and stop-loss premiums.  Medical benefit plan costs are expensed as incurred.  The liability recognized for claims incurred but not yet paid was $101 and $100 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Health and dental insurance expense recorded in 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $700, $773, and $565, respectively.

PSB pays state income taxes on individual, unconsolidated net earnings.  At December 31, 2007, net operating loss carryforwards of the parent company of approximately $2,089 existed to offset future state taxable income.  These net operating losses will begin to expire in 2012.  A valuation allowance has been recognized to adjust deferred tax assets to the amount of net operating losses expected to be utilized to offset future income.  If realized, the tax benefit for this item will reduce current tax expense for that period.  The valuation allowance increased $27 and $30 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.


The Internal Revenue Service audited PSB’s federal income tax returns for 1999 through 2002 and disallowed a portion of the Bank’s interest deductions for such years.  The IRS believed that municipal bonds owned by PSB’s Nevada investment subsidiary should be treated as owned by the Bank for purposes of computing the PSB’s allowable interest expense deductions.  In August 2005, PSB filed a petition with the United States Tax Court contesting payment of $184 of tax and interest related to the calculation.  In November 2007, the Tax Court ruled in PSB’s favor on all significant points of the case.  PSB will receive a refund of previous tax and interest paid based on the Tax Court ruling.  Recognition of this refund plus interest reduced federal income tax expense by approximately $200 during 2007.


NOTE 14

INTEREST RATE SWAP


During 2005, PSB entered into an interest rate swap contract originally classified as a fair value hedge that converted the fixed rate payments on certain wholesale broker certificates of deposit to variable rates of interest.  The interest rate risk management strategy was to change fixed brokered time deposit interest payments to a floating rate payment to better match adjustable rate commercial loans.  Both the swap (by the swap counterparty) and the liability (by PSB) became callable in April 2006, with additional semiannual call dates until final maturity in October 2008.


During 2006, PSB determined this swap did not qualify for the “short-cut method” because in retrospect the related broker fee was determined to have caused the swap not to have a zero value at inception (which is required under current accounting standards to qualify for the “short-cut method”).  Fair value hedge accounting allows a company to record the change in fair value of the hedged item, in this case, the brokered certificate, as an offset to the mark-to-market adjustment on the related interest rate swap.  


Eliminating the application of fair value hedge accounting in 2006 reversed the fair value adjustment originally made to the brokered certificate. The pretax unrealized loss from the net change in fair value of interest rate swap of $147 recorded during 2006 included the $168 charge related to activity during 2005 which was not restated to prior periods due to the insignificant impact on previously reported 2005 results.  


During 2007, the swap liability was prepaid with a final payment of $115.  No interest rate swaps were outstanding at December 31, 2007.

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND CREDIT RISK


Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Risk


PSB is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.


PSB’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  PSB uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.  These commitments at December 31 are as follows:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  PSB evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the party.  Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.


Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  Collateral held varies as specified above and is required in instances which PSB deems necessary.  The commitments are generally structured to allow for 100% collateralization on all letters of credit.


Unfunded commitments under home equity lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers.  These lines of credit may or may not require collateral and may or may not contain a specific maturity date.




68



Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (dollars in thousands except per share data)


Credit card commitments are commitments on credit cards issued by PSB and serviced by Elan Financial Services (a subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp).  These commitments are unsecured.


PSB participates in the FHLB Mortgage Partnership Finance Program (the “Program”).  In addition to entering into forward commitments to sell mortgage loans to a secondary market agency, PSB enters into firm commitments to deliver loans to the FHLB through the Program.  Under the Program, loans are funded by the FHLB, and PSB receives an agency fee reported as a component of gain on sale of loans.  PSB had no firm commitments outstanding to deliver loans through the Program at December 31, 2007.  Once delivered to the Program, PSB provides a contractually agreed-upon credit enhancement and performs servicing of the loans.  Under the credit enhancement, PSB is liable for losses on loans delivered to the Program after application of any mortgage insurance and a contractually agreed-upon credit enhancement provided by the Program subject to an agreed-upon maximum.  PSB received a fee for this credit enhancement.  PSB does not anticipate that any credit losses will be incurred in excess of anticipated credit enhancement fees.


Guarantee Credit Risk


PSB has guaranteed repayment of a customer interest rate swap and letter of credit to a correspondent bank in exchange for an underwriting fee and a first mortgage lien on commercial real estate.  The total principal amount guaranteed by PSB totaled $5,607 at December 31, 2007.  The letter of credit guarantee expires in 2010 while the swap guarantee expires in 2022.  The guarantee liability is carried at estimated fair market value and totaled $84 at December 31, 2007.  Income recognized on the guarantee totaled $16 during 2007.


Concentration of Credit Risk


PSB grants residential mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans predominantly in Marathon, Oneida, and Vilas Counties, Wisconsin.  There are no significant concentrations of credit to any one debtor or industry group.  Management believes the diversity of the local economy will prevent significant losses in the event of an economic downturn.


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.

Under the terms of an incentive stock option plan adopted during 2001, shares of unissued common stock are reserved for options to officers and key employees of PSB at prices not less than the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant.  Options may be exercised anytime after the option grant’s six-month anniversary.  These options expire ten years after the grant date and all currently unexercised options will expire between December 2011 and April 2012.  As of December 31, 2007, all 4,476 options outstanding were eligible to be exercised at an average exercise price ranging from $15.80 to $16.83 per share.  The following table summarizes information regarding stock options outstanding at December 31, 2007, and activity during the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005.

No common stock options were issued and no expense was recorded in the three years ended December 31, 2007.  As of December 31, 2007, no additional shares of common stock remain reserved for future grants to officers and key employees under the option plan approved by the shareholders.


The total estimated intrinsic value of options exercised during 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $170, $21, and $49, respectively.  Cash received from options exercised during 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $226, $22, and $48, respectively.  There were no significant tax benefits realized for tax deductions from the exercise of stock options during the three years ended December 31, 2007.


NOTE 17

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS


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




70



Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (dollars in thousands except per share data)


Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require PSB and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of December 31, 2007, that PSB and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements.


As of December 31, 2007, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.


PSB’s and the Bank’s actual and regulatory capital amounts and ratios are as follows:

NOTE 18

EARNINGS PER SHARE


Basic and diluted earnings per share data are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted earnings per share are further adjusted for potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period.  Potential common shares consist of stock options outstanding under the incentive plan.  The dilutive effect of potential common shares is computed using the treasury stock method.  All stock options are assumed to be 100% vested for purposes of the earnings per share computations.  The computation of earnings per share for the years ended December 31 are as follows:

NOTE 19

RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS


The Bank is restricted by banking regulations from making dividend distributions above prescribed amounts and is limited in making loans and advances to PSB.  To fund the repurchase of 5.9% of PSB’s common equity shares during 2006, the Bank made a dividend distribution to PSB in excess of current year net income.  Under state banking regulations, the Bank may not make dividend distributions in excess of year-to-date net income to PSB during 2008 without regulatory approval.  If regulatory approval is obtained during these future periods, the maximum retained earnings of the Bank available for distribution as dividends would be approximately $14,321.


NOTE 20

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:


Carrying amount is considered to equal the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, other short-term borrowings, FHLB stock, accrued interest receivable and payable, bank-owned life insurance, demand deposits, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully.  Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes and, if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer.  For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans, or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk.  Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values.  Fair value of loans held for sale is based on market quotes.  Fair value of FHLB advances and junior subordinated debentures is based on current rates for similar financing.  The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on market prices or dealer quotes.  Fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on discounted cash flows over the anticipated repayment term of serviced loans.  The fair value of off-balance-sheet credit-related items is not significant.

Item 9.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.


Not applicable.


Item 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


As required by SEC rules, PSB’s management evaluated the effectiveness, as of December 31, 2007, of PSB’s disclosure controls and procedures.  PSB’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer participated in the evaluation.  Based on this evaluation, the PSB’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that PSB’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2007.


Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:


·

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the

transactions and dispositions of assets of PSB;


·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation

of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the

United States, and that receipts and expenditures of PSB are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of PSB; and


·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of PSB’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies of procedures may deteriorate.  This annual report does not include an attestation report of PSB’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by PSB’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.  Management’s report in internal control over financial reporting should be read with these limitations in mind.


Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the PSB’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria in  Internal Control—Integrated Framework  issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation under the criteria in  Internal Control — Integrated Framework , management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.


Changes in Internal Controls


No change occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, PSB’s internal control over financial reporting.


Item 9B.  OTHER INFORMATION.


Not applicable.

PART III


Item 10.

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT.


Information relating to directors of PSB is incorporated into this Annual Report on Form 10-K by this reference to the disclosure in PSB’s proxy statement dated March 13, 2008 relating to the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2008 Proxy Statement”) under the subcaption “Election of Directors – Election of Directors.”  


Information relating to the identification of executive officers of PSB is found in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  


Information required under Rule 405 of Regulation S-K is incorporated into this Annual Report on Form 10-K by this reference to the disclosure in the 2008 Proxy Statement under the subcaption “Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock – Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.”


Code of Ethics


PSB has adopted a Code of Ethics Policy for all directors, officers, and employees and a Code of Compliance and Reporting Requirements for Senior Management and Senior Financial Officers which covers PSB’s Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer (the chief financial and accounting officer), each Vice President, and the Secretary.  The Code of Compliance and Reporting Requirements for Senior Management and Senior Financial Officers has been posted on PSB’s website under “Investor Relations” at www.psbwi.com.  In the event PSB amends or waives any provision of the Code of Compliance and Reporting Requirements for Senior Management and Senior Financial Officers, PSB intends to disclose such amendment or waiver at the website address where the code may also be found.


Audit Committee


The Board of Directors has appointed an Audit Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Mr. Polzer (Chairman), Mr. Crooks, Mr. Fish, and Mr. Gullickson serve on the Audit Committee (PSB is not a “listed issuer” as defined in SEC Rule 10A-3).


Financial Expert


The SEC has adopted rules which require PSB to disclose whether one of the members of the Audit Committee qualifies under SEC rules as an “audit committee financial expert.”  Based on its review of the SEC rules, the Board does not believe that any member of the Audit Committee can be classified as an “audit committee financial expert.”  


In order to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” a member of the Audit Committee must, for all practical purposes, have the attributes and career experience of a person who has been actively involved in the preparation, auditing, or evaluation of public company financial statements.  PSB’s size and geographic location make it difficult to recruit directors who have these specific qualifications.  While it may be possible to recruit a director having these specific qualifications, the Board believes that each of its members should have a familiarity with PSB’s market area and an understanding of PSB’s customer base, in addition to meeting the other general criteria described in the 2007 Proxy Statement under “Election of Directors – Nominations – Qualifications,” and that it is not in the best interest of PSB to nominate a director who does not possess these characteristics.  Moreover, the Committee has the a uthority under its charter to retain or dismiss the independent auditor and to hire such other experts or legal counsel as it deems appropriate in order to fulfill its duties, and it therefore believes that it has access to required financial expertise.  The Board will consider any potential candidates who meet its current general qualification criteria and those of an “audit committee financial expert,” but, for the time being, the Board believes that the current members of the Committee, working with the independent auditor, are qualified to perform the duties required in the Committee’s charter.
