General

Our principal business consists of attracting deposits from the general public in the areas surrounding Windham County and New London County, Connecticut and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations, primarily in one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, commercial real estate loans (including multi-family real estate loans), commercial loans, construction mortgage

loans and consumer loans, and in investment securities. Our revenues are derived principally from interest on loans and securities, and from loan origination and servicing fees. Our primary sources of funds are deposits and principal and interest payments on loans and securities.

Competition

We face intense competition within our market area both in making loans and attracting deposits. The Town of Putnam and the surrounding area have a high concentration of financial institutions, including large commercial banks, community banks and credit unions. Some of our competitors offer products and services that we currently do not offer, such as trust services and private banking. As of June 30, 2006, based on the FDIC’s annual Summary of Deposits Report (the most current data available), our market share of deposits represented 18.7% of deposits in Windham County and 1.0% in New London County.

Our competition for loans and deposits comes principally from commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking firms and credit unions. We face additional competition for deposits from money market funds, brokerage firms, mutual funds and insurance companies. Our primary focus is to build and develop profitable customer relationships across all lines of business while maintaining our role as a community bank.

Market Area

We operate in a primarily rural market area that has a stable population and household base. We currently operate out of seven offices, of which the most recent branch opened in August of 2006 in Putnam. All of our offices are located in Windham County and New London County, Connecticut. According to a recent census report, during the past seven years, the population of Windham and New London Counties increased by 1.2% and 0.7% annually while the population of the United States increased by 1.2% on an annual basis. During the same period, the number of households in Windham and New London Counties increased 1.1% and 0.9% on an annual basis, compared to the United States increase of 1.3% annually. In 2007, per capita income for Windham County was $26,298, and the median household income was $55,549. In the same year, per capita income for New London County was $32,251, and the median household income was $63,477. These compare to per capita income for the State of Connecticut and the United States of $37,645 and $27,916, respectively, and median household income of $68,430 and $53,154, respectively.

Windham County is located in the Northeastern corner of Connecticut and borders both Massachusetts (to the north) and Rhode Island (to the east). New London County is to the south of Windham County, located in the Southeastern corner of Connecticut. Putnam is approximately 45 miles from Hartford, Connecticut, 30 miles from Providence, Rhode Island, and 65 miles from Boston, Massachusetts. Windham County has a diversified mix of industry groups and employment sectors, including services, wholesale/retail trade and manufacturing. These three sectors comprise approximately 64% of the employment base in Windham County. The same three sectors comprise a lesser 54% of the employment base in New London County, however, approximately 28% of the employment base is employed by the government sector. Windham County’s July 2007 unemployment rate of 5.2% was higher than the New London County unemployment rate of 4.3%, higher than the comparable Connecticut unemployment rate of 4.8% and higher than the national unemployment rate of 4.9%. In contrast to the national and Connecticut unemployment trends, Windham County and New London County’s July 2007 unemployment rates of 5.2% and 4.3% were lower than their July 2006 unemployment rates of 5.4% and 4.4%. Our primary market area for deposits includes the communities in which we maintain our main office and our branch office locations. Our primary lending area is broader than our primary deposit market area and includes all of Windham County, and parts of the adjacent Connecticut Counties of New London and Tolland and the Rhode Island and Massachusetts communities adjacent to Windham County

Lending Activities

Historically, our principal lending activity has been the origination of first mortgage loans for the purchase or refinancing of one- to four-family residential real estate. We retain most of the loans that we originate.

However, we generally sell long-term fixed rate loans in the secondary market. When we sell loans, we generally retain the servicing rights for such loans. One- to four-family residential real estate mortgage loans represented $168.1 million, or 70.0%, of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2007. We also offer commercial real estate loans (including multi-family real estate loans), commercial loans, construction mortgage loans (primarily secured by single-family properties) and consumer loans. At June 30, 2007, commercial real estate loans totaled $59.3 million, or 24.6% of our loan portfolio, commercial loans totaled $6.5 million, or 2.6% of our loan portfolio, construction mortgage loans totaled $5.4 million, or 2.2% of our loan portfolio and consumer loans, consisting primarily of auto loans and secured personal loans, totaled $1.4 million, or 0.6% of our loan portfolio.

At June 30, 2007, the total amount of loans due after June 30, 2007 that have fixed interest rates was $133.8 million, and the total amount of loans due after that date that have floating or adjustable interest rates was $98.6 million.

Residential Mortgage Loans. Our primary lending activity consists of the origination of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans that are primarily secured by properties located in Windham County and New London County. At June 30, 2007, $168.1 million, or 69.9% of our loan portfolio, consisted of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Included within these one- to four-family loans at June 30, 2007 were $12.1 million of home equity loans and $11.8 million of home equity lines of credit. Generally, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans are originated in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of the property, with private mortgage insurance required on loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%. We will not make loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 100% for loans secured by single family homes. Fixed rate mortgage loans generally are originated for terms of 10 to 30 years. Generally, all fixed rate residential mortgage loans are underwritten according to Fannie Mae policies and procedures. Fixed rate residential mortgage loans with terms of more than 15 years are generally sold in the secondary market, while bi-weekly mortgages are generally retained in our portfolio. Bi-weekly mortgages are loans that require payments be made every two weeks. We will usually retain the servicing rights for all loans that we sell in the secondary market. We originated $24.5 million of fixed rate one- to four-family residential loans during the year ended June 30, 2007, of which $7.1 million were sold in the secondary market.

We also offer adjustable rate mortgage loans for one- to four-family properties, with an interest rate based on the one-year Constant Maturity Treasury Bill Index, which adjusts annually from the outset of the loan or which adjusts annually after a three-, five-, seven-, or ten-year initial fixed rate period. We originated $33.0 million of adjustable rate one- to four-family residential loans during the year ended June 30, 2007, of which $3.0 million was sold in the secondary market. Our adjustable rate mortgage loans generally provide for maximum rate adjustments of 100 basis points per adjustment, with a lifetime maximum adjustment up to 6%, regardless of the initial rate. Our adjustable rate mortgage loans amortize over terms of up to 30 years.

Adjustable rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the monthly or bi-weekly payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the value of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of adjustable rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates. At June 30, 2007, $72.3 million, or 43.0%, of our one- to four-family residential loans had adjustable rates of interest.

Table of Contents

In an effort to provide financing for moderate income home buyers, we offer Veterans Administration (VA), Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) and Rural Development loans. These programs offer residential mortgage loans to qualified individuals. These loans are offered with fixed rates of interest and terms of up to 30 years. Such loans are secured by one- to four-family residential properties. All of these loans are originated using agency underwriting guidelines. VA, FHA and CHFA loans are closed in the name of Putnam Savings Bank and are immediately sold on a servicing-released basis. All such loans are originated in amounts of up to 100% of the lower of the property’s appraised value or the sale price. Private mortgage insurance is required on all such loans.

All residential mortgage loans that we originate include “due-on-sale” clauses, which give us the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event that, among other things, the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. Regulations limit the amount that a savings association may lend relative to the appraised value of the real estate securing the loan, as determined by an appraisal of the property at the time the loan is originated. All borrowers are required to obtain title insurance. We also require homeowner’s insurance and fire and casualty insurance and, where circumstances warrant, flood insurance, on properties securing real estate loans. At June 30, 2007, our largest residential mortgage loan had a principal balance of $700,000 and was secured by a residence located in our primary market area. This loan was performing in accordance with its repayment terms.

We also offer home equity loans and home equity of lines of credit, both of which are secured by owner-occupied one- to four-family residences. At June 30, 2007, home equity loans and equity lines of credit totaled $23.8 million, or 14.2% of our residential mortgage loans and 9.9% of total loans. Additionally, at June 30, 2007, the unadvanced amounts of home equity lines of credit totaled $10.7 million. The underwriting standards utilized for home equity loans and home equity lines of credit include a determination of the applicant’s credit history, an assessment of the applicant’s ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan and the value of the collateral securing the loan. Home equity loans are offered with fixed rates of interest and with terms up to 15 years. The loan-to-value ratio for a home equity loan is generally limited to 80%. However, we offer special programs to borrowers, who satisfy certain underwriting criteria, with loan-to-value ratios of up to 100%. Our home equity lines of credit have adjustable rates of interest which are indexed to the prime rate, as reported in The Wall Street Journal . Interest rates on home equity lines of credit are generally limited to a maximum rate of 14.25%.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. We originate commercial real estate loans, including multi-family real estate loans that are generally secured by five or more unit apartment buildings, construction loans and loans on properties used for business purposes such as small office buildings, industrial facilities or retail facilities primarily located in our primary market area. We also offer real estate development loans to licensed contractors and builders for the construction and development of commercial real estate projects and one- to four-family residential properties. At June 30, 2007, commercial mortgage loans totaled $59.3 million, which amounted to 24.6% of total loans. Our commercial real estate underwriting policies provide that such real estate loans may be made in amounts of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property provided such loan complies with our current loans-to-one-borrower limit, which at June 30, 2007 was $6.2 million. Our commercial real estate loans may be made with terms of up to five years with 20 year amortization schedules and are offered with interest rates that are fixed or adjust periodically and are generally indexed to the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal or Federal Home Loan Bank advance rates. In reaching a decision on whether to make a commercial real estate loan, we consider the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise and credit history, and the profitability of the value of the underlying property. In addition, with respect to commercial real estate rental properties, we will also consider the term of the lease and the quality of the tenants. We generally require that the properties securing these real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before debt service to debt service) of at least 1.25x. Environmental surveys are generally required for commercial real estate loans. Generally, multi-family and commercial real estate loans made to corporations, partnerships and other business entities require personal guarantees by the principals.

Table of Contents

A commercial borrower’s financial information is monitored on an ongoing basis by requiring periodic financial statement updates, payment history reviews and periodic face-to-face meetings with the borrower. We require commercial borrowers to provide annually updated financial statements and federal tax returns. These requirements also apply to all guarantors on commercial loans. We also require borrowers with rental investment property to provide an annual report of income and expenses for the property, including a tenant list and copies of leases, as applicable. The largest commercial real estate loan in our portfolio at June 30, 2007 was a performing $2.6 million loan secured by property located in our primary market area.

Loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family properties, generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate, including multi-family properties, are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

Residential Construction Loans. We originate construction loans to individuals for the construction and acquisition of personal residences. At June 30, 2007, construction mortgage loans totaled $5.4 million, or 2.2%, of total loans. At June 30, 2007, the unadvanced portion of these construction loans totaled $2.1 million.

Our construction mortgage loans generally provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase, which is usually nine months. At the end of the construction phase, the construction loan converts to a permanent mortgage loan. Construction loans can be made with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 95%, provided that the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance on the loan if the loan balance exceeds 80% of the appraised value or sales price, whichever is less, of the secured property. At June 30, 2007, our largest outstanding residential construction mortgage loan commitment was for $700,000, $510,000 of which was outstanding. This loan was performing according to its terms at June 30, 2007. Construction loans to individuals are generally made on the same terms as our one- to four-family mortgage loans.

Before making a commitment to fund a residential construction loan, we require an appraisal of the property by an independent licensed appraiser. We also review and inspect each property before disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan. Loan proceeds are disbursed after inspection based on the percentage of completion method.

Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost is inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value is inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, with a value that is insufficient to assure full payment.

Commercial Loans. At June 30, 2007, we had $6.5 million in commercial loans which amounted to 2.7% of total loans. We make commercial business loans primarily in our market area to a variety of professionals, sole proprietorships and small businesses. Commercial lending products include term loans and revolving lines of credit. Such loans are generally used for longer-term working capital purposes such as purchasing equipment or furniture. Commercial loans are made with either adjustable or fixed rates of interest. Variable rates are based on the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus a margin. Fixed rate commercial loans are set at a margin above the comparable Federal Home Loan Bank advance rate.

When making commercial loans, we consider the financial statements of the borrower, our lending history with the borrower, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business and the value of the collateral. Commercial loans are generally secured by a variety of collateral, primarily accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, and are supported by personal guarantees. Depending on the collateral used

Table of Contents

to secure the loans, commercial loans are made in amounts of up to 75% of the value of the collateral securing the loan. We generally do not make unsecured commercial loans.

Commercial loans generally have greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans. Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value. We seek to minimize these risks through our underwriting standards. At June 30, 2007, our largest commercial loan was a $686,000 loan secured by business assets located in our primary market area. This loan was performing according to its terms at June 30, 2007.

Consumer and Other Loans. We offer a limited range of consumer loans, principally to Putnam Savings Bank customers residing in our primary market area with acceptable credit ratings. Our consumer loans generally consist of loans on new and used automobiles, loans secured by deposit accounts and unsecured personal loans. Consumer loans totaled $1.4 million, or 0.6% of our total loan portfolio, at June 30, 2007.

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

Origination, Purchase, Sale and Servicing of Loans. Lending activities are conducted primarily by our loan personnel operating at our seven branch offices and one loan origination center. All loans originated by us are underwritten pursuant to our policies and procedures. We originate both adjustable rate and fixed rate loans. Our ability to originate fixed or adjustable rate loans is dependent upon the relative customer demand for such loans, which is affected by current and expected future levels of market interest rates.

Generally, we retain in our portfolio all bi-weekly loans and other loans that we originate, with the exception of longer-term, fixed rate one- to four-family mortgage loans. The one- to four-family loans that we

Table of Contents

currently originate for sale include mortgage loans which conform to the underwriting standards specified by Fannie Mae. We also sell all mortgage loans insured by CHFA, FHA, VA and Rural Development loans. Generally, all one- to four-family loans that we sell are sold pursuant to master commitments negotiated with Fannie Mae. We sell our loans without recourse. We generally retain the servicing rights on the mortgage loans sold to Fannie Mae, but generally sell all CHFA, VA, FHA and Rural Development loans on a servicing-released basis.

At June 30, 2007, Putnam Savings Bank was servicing loans sold in the amount of $26.3 million. Loan servicing includes collecting and remitting loan payments, accounting for principal and interest, contacting delinquent mortgagors, supervising foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of unremedied defaults, making certain insurance and tax payments on behalf of the borrowers and generally administering the loans.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we originated $57.5 million of fixed rate and adjustable rate one-to four-family loans, of which $47.4 million were retained by us. We recognize at the time of sale, the cash gain or loss on the sale of the loans based on the difference between the net cash proceeds received and the carrying value of the loans sold.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. The Board of Directors establishes the lending policies and loan approval limits of Putnam Savings Bank. Loan officers generally have the authority to originate mortgage loans, consumer loans and commercial loans up to amounts established for each lending officer. Loans in amounts above the individual authorized limits require the approval of Putnam Savings Bank’s Credit Committee. The Credit Committee is authorized to approve the following types of loans in amounts up to $500,000: all one- to four family mortgage loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial loans and secured consumer loans. All loans of $500,000 or greater must receive the approval of Putnam Savings Bank’s Board of Directors.

The Board annually approves independent appraisers used by Putnam Savings Bank. For larger loans, the Bank may require an environmental site assessment to be performed by an independent professional for all non-residential mortgage loans. It is Putnam Savings Bank’s policy to require hazard insurance on all mortgage loans.

Loan Origination Fees and Other Income. In addition to interest earned on loans, Putnam Savings Bank receives loan origination fees. Such fees and costs vary with the volume and type of loans and commitments made and purchased, principal repayments, and competitive conditions in the mortgage markets, which in turn respond to the demand and availability of money.

Loans to One Borrower. The maximum amount that we may lend to one borrower and the borrower’s related entities is limited, by regulation, to generally 15% of our stated capital and reserves. At June 30, 2007, our regulatory limit on loans to one borrower was $6.2 million. At that date, the largest aggregate amount loaned by Putnam Savings Bank to one borrower was $3.9 million. The loans comprising this lending relationship were performing in accordance with their terms as of June 30, 2007.

Non-Performing and Problem Assets

A computer-generated delinquency notice is mailed monthly to all delinquent borrowers, advising them of the amount of their delinquency. When a loan becomes 60 days delinquent, Putnam Savings Bank sends a letter advising the borrower of the delinquency. The borrower is given 30 days to pay the delinquent payments or to contact Putnam Savings Bank to make arrangements to bring the loan current over a longer period of time. If the borrower fails to bring the loan current in 30 days or to make arrangements to cure the delinquency over a longer period of time, the matter is referred to legal counsel and foreclosure proceedings are started. We may consider forbearance in cases of a temporary loss of income if a plan is presented by the borrower to cure the delinquency in a reasonable period of time after his or her income resumes.

Table of Contents

All non-commercial mortgage loans are reviewed on a regular basis and such loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become more than 90 days delinquent. Commercial loans are evaluated for non-accrual status on a case-by-case basis. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reserved, and further income is recognized only to the extent received.

Non-Performing Assets. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our non-performing assets at the dates indicated. At each date presented, we had no troubled debt restructurings (loans for which a portion of interest or principal has been forgiven and loans modified at interest rates materially less than current market rates). A loan classified in the table below as “non-accrual” does not necessarily mean that such loan is or has been delinquent. Once a loan is more than 90 days delinquent or the borrower or collateral securing the loan experiences an event that makes collectibility suspect, the loan is placed on “non-accrual” status. Our policies require six months of continuous payments in order for the loan to be removed from non-accrual status.

Classified Assets. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations provide that loans and other assets considered to be of lesser quality be classified as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable”. Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

An insured institution is required to establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management for loans classified substandard or doubtful, as well as for other problem loans. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as “loss”, it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of the amount of the asset so classified or to charge off such amount. An institution’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the Office of Thrift Supervision which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.

On the basis of management’s review of its assets, at June 30, 2007 we had classified $1.8 million of our assets as substandard. Of these loans, $1.5 million were considered non-performing and included in the table of Non-Performing Assets. At June 30, 2007, none of our assets were classified as doubtful or loss.

The loan portfolio is reviewed on a regular basis to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. Not all classified assets constitute non-performing assets.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Our allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level necessary to absorb loan losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Management, in determining the allowance for loan losses, considers the losses inherent in our loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of loan activities, along with the general economic and real estate market conditions. We utilize a two-tier approach: (1) identification and establishment of specific loss allowances on such loans; and (2) establishment of general valuation allowances on the remainder of our loan portfolio. Once a loan becomes delinquent or is otherwise identified as a problem, we may establish a specific loan loss allowance based on a review of among other things, delinquency status, size of loans, type and market value of collateral and financial condition, of the borrowers. General loan loss allowances are based upon a combination of factors including, but not limited to, actual loan loss experience, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, management’s judgment and losses which are probable and reasonably estimable. The allowance is increased through provisions charged against current earnings and recoveries of previously charged-off loans. Loans that are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. While management uses available information to recognize probable and reasonably estimable loan losses, future loss provisions may be necessary based on changing economic conditions. Payments received on impaired loans are applied first to accrued interest receivable and then to principal. The allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2007 was maintained at a level that represents management’s best estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and such losses were both probable and reasonably estimable.

In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. This agency may require that we recognize additions to the allowance based on its judgment of information available to it at the time of its examination.

The following table sets forth activity in our allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

Each quarter, management evaluates the total balance of the allowance for loan losses based on several factors, some of which are not loan specific but are reflective of the inherent losses in the loan portfolio. This process includes, but is not limited to, a periodic review of loan collectibility in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of loan activity, conditions that may affect the ability of the borrower to repay, underlying value of collateral, if applicable, and economic conditions in our immediate market area. First, we group loans by delinquency status. All loans 90 days or more delinquent are evaluated individually, based primarily on the value of the collateral securing the loan. Specific loss allowances are established as required by this analysis. All loans for which a specific loss allowance has not been assigned are segregated by type, delinquency status or loan grade and a loss allowance is established by using loss experience data and management’s judgment concerning other matters it considers significant. The allowance is allocated to each category of loan based on the results of the above analysis. Small differences between the allocated balances and recorded allowances are reflected as unallocated to absorb losses resulting from the inherent imprecision involved in the loss analysis process.

This analysis process is inherently subjective, as it requires us to make estimates that are susceptible to revisions as more information becomes available. Although we believe that we have established the allowance at levels to absorb probable and estimable losses, future additions may be necessary if economic or other conditions in the future differ from the current environment.

Investment Activities

Putnam Savings Bank’s Executive Committee is responsible for implementing Putnam Savings Bank’s Investment Policy. The Investment Policy is reviewed annually and any changes to the policy are recommended to, and subject to, the approval of our Board of Directors. The Executive Committee is comprised of our Chairman, President and one rotating director. Authority to make investments under the approved Investment Policy guidelines is delegated by the Executive Committee to appropriate officers. While general investment strategies are developed and authorized by the Asset/Liability Committee, the execution of specific actions rests with the Chief Executive Officer or President who may act jointly or severally as Putnam Savings Bank’s Investment Officer. The Investment Officer is responsible for ensuring that the guidelines and requirements included in the Investment Policy are followed and that all securities are considered prudent for investment. The Investment Officer is authorized to execute investment transactions (purchases and sales) up to $5 million per

transaction without the prior approval of the Executive Committee and within the scope of the established investment policy. Each transaction in excess of established limits must receive prior approval of the Executive Committee.

In addition, Putnam Savings Bank may utilize the services of an independent investment advisor to assist in managing the investment portfolio. The investment advisor is responsible for maintaining current information regarding securities dealers with whom they are conducting business on our behalf. A list of appropriate dealers is provided annually to the Board of Directors for approval and authorization prior to execution of trades. The investment advisor, through its assigned portfolio manager, must contact our President or Treasurer to review all investment recommendations and transactions and receive approval from the President or Treasurer prior to execution of any transaction that might be transacted on our behalf. Upon receipt of approval, the investment advisor, or its assigned portfolio manager, is authorized to conduct all investment business on our behalf.

Our Investment Policy requires that all securities transactions be conducted in a safe and sound manner. Investment decisions must be based upon a thorough analysis of each security instrument to determine its quality, inherent risks, fit within our overall asset/liability management objectives, effect on our risk-based capital measurement and prospects for yield and/or appreciation.

Consistent with our overall business and asset/liability management strategy, which focuses on sustaining adequate levels of core earnings, all securities purchased are held available-for-sale.

U.S. Government and Agency Obligations. At June 30, 2007, the Company’s U.S. Government and Agency securities portfolio totaled $45.0 million, or 20.0% of total investments, all of which were classified as available-for-sale. There were no structured notes in the portfolio. While U.S. Government and Agency securities generally provide lower yields than other investments in our securities investment portfolio, we maintain these investments, to the extent appropriate, for liquidity purposes, as collateral for borrowings and prepayment protection.

State Agency and Municipal Obligations. These securities consist of obligations issued by states, counties and municipalities or their agencies and include general obligation bonds, industrial development revenue bonds and other revenue bonds. Our investment policy requires that such state agency or municipal obligations be rated “A-” or better by a nationally recognized rating agency. If the debt obligation rating goes below “A-” then the investment is placed on an investment “watch report” and is monitored by our Investment Officer. The investment is then reviewed quarterly by our Board of Directors where a determination is made to hold or dispose of the investment. At June 30, 2007, the Company’s state agency and municipal obligations portfolio totaled $9.1 million, or 4.1% of total investments, all of which was classified as available-for-sale.

Corporate Bonds. At June 30, 2007, the Company’s corporate bond portfolio totaled $20.9 million, or 9.3% of total investments, all of which was classified as available-for-sale. Although corporate bonds may offer higher yields than U.S. Treasury or agency securities of comparable duration, corporate bonds also have a higher risk of default due to possible adverse changes in the credit-worthiness of the issuer. In order to mitigate this risk, our investment policy requires that corporate debt obligations be rated “A-” by a nationally recognized rating agency. If the bond rating goes below “A-” then the investment is placed on an investment “watch report” and is monitored by our Investment Officer. The investment is then reviewed quarterly by our Board of Directors where a determination is made to hold or dispose of the investment.

Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Company purchases mortgage-backed securities insured or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. We invest in mortgage-backed securities to achieve positive interest rate spreads with minimal administrative expense, and lower our credit risk as a result of the guarantees provided by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae. The Company also invests in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), also insured or issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae, or private issuers such as Washington Mutual and Countrywide Home Loans. All private issuer CMOs were rated AAA.

Table of Contents

Mortgage-backed securities are created by the pooling of mortgages and the issuance of a security with an interest rate that is less than the interest rate on the underlying mortgage. Mortgage-backed securities typically represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages, although we focus our investments on mortgage-backed securities backed by one- to four-family mortgages. The issuers of such securities (generally U.S. government agencies and government sponsored enterprises, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae) pool and resell the participation interests in the form of securities to investors such as Putnam Savings Bank, and guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors. Mortgage-backed securities generally yield less than the loans that underlie such securities because of the cost of payment guarantees and credit enhancements. However, mortgage-backed securities are usually more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize our specific liabilities and obligations.

CMOs are a type of debt security issued by a special purpose entity that aggregates pools of mortgage-backed securities and creates different classes of CMO securities with varying maturities and amortization schedules as well as a residual interest, with each class, or “tranche”, possessing different risk characteristics. A particular tranche of CMOs may, therefore, carry prepayment risk that differs from that of both the underlying collateral and other tranches. CMO tranches are purchased by the Company in an attempt to moderate reinvestment risk associated with mortgage-backed securities resulting from unexpected prepayment activities.

At June 30, 2007, mortgage-backed securities totaled $137.5 million, or 61.2% of total investments, all of which were classified as available-for-sale. At June 30, 2007, 40.3% of the mortgage-backed securities were backed by adjustable rate loans and 59.7% were backed by fixed rate mortgage loans. The mortgage-backed securities portfolio had a weighted average yield of 5.27% at June 30, 2007. The estimated fair value of our mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 2007 was $135.3 million, which is less than the amortized cost of $137.5 million. Investments in mortgage-backed securities involve a risk that actual prepayments may differ from estimated prepayments over the life of the security, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount relating to such instruments thereby changing the net yield on such securities. There is also reinvestment risk associated with the cash flows from such securities or if such securities are redeemed by the issuer. In addition, the market value of such securities may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.

Marketable Equity Securities. At June 30, 2007, our equity securities portfolio totaled $12.2 million, or 5.4% of total investments, all of which were classified as available for sale. At June 30, 2007, the portfolio primarily consisted of $7.2 million of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and $5.0 million of auction rate preferred stock. Auction rate preferred stock is a floating rate preferred stock, on which the dividend rate generally resets every 49 days based on an auction process to reflect the yield demand for the instruments by potential purchasers. At June 30, 2007, our investments in preferred stock consisted of investments in one corporate issuer.

Investments in equity securities involve risk as they are not insured or guaranteed investments and are affected by stock market fluctuations. Such investments are carried at their market value and can directly affect our net capital position.

Portfolio Maturities and Yields. The composition and maturities of the investment securities portfolio at June 30, 2007 are summarized in the following table. Maturities are based on the final contractual payment dates, and do not reflect the impact of prepayments or early redemptions that may occur. State agency and municipal obligations as well as common and preferred stock yields have not been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis. Certain mortgage-backed securities have interest rates that are adjustable and will reprice annually within the various maturity ranges. These repricing schedules are not reflected in the table below. At June 30, 2007, mortgage-backed securities with adjustable rates totaled $54.5 million.

Sources of Funds

General. Deposits have traditionally been our primary source of funds for use in lending and investment activities. In addition to deposits, funds are derived from scheduled loan payments, investment maturities, loan prepayments, retained earnings and income on earning assets. While scheduled loan payments and income on earning assets are relatively stable sources of funds, deposit inflows and outflows can vary widely and are influenced by prevailing interest rates, market conditions and levels of competition. Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston and brokered certificates of deposit may be used to compensate for reductions in deposits and to fund loan growth.

Deposits. A majority of our depositors are persons who work or reside in Windham County and New London County, Connecticut. We offer a selection of deposit instruments, including checking, savings, money market deposit accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts and fixed-term certificates of deposit. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance required, the amount of time the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate.

Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market rates, liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors and growth goals. To attract and retain deposits, we rely upon personalized customer service, long-standing relationships and competitive interest rates.

The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and other prevailing interest rates and competition. The variety of deposit accounts that we offer allows us to be competitive in obtaining funds and responding to changes in consumer demand. Based on historical experience, management believes our deposits are relatively stable. However, the ability to attract and maintain money market accounts and certificates of deposit, and the rates paid on these deposits, have been and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions. At June 30, 2007, $153.7 million, or 52.4%, of our deposit accounts were certificates of deposit, of which $107.8 million had maturities of one year or less.

The following table sets forth the distribution of total deposit accounts, by account type, at the dates indicated.

FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION

Federal Taxation

General . PSB Holdings, Inc. and Putnam Savings Bank are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. PSB Holdings, Inc.’s and Putnam Savings Bank’s tax returns have not been audited during the past five years. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize certain pertinent federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to PSB Holdings, Inc. or Putnam Savings Bank.

Method of Accounting . For federal income tax purposes, PSB Holdings, Inc. and Putnam Savings Bank currently report their income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and use a tax year ending June 30 for filing their federal income tax returns.

Bad Debt Reserves . Prior to the Small Business Protection Act of 1996 (the “1996 Act”), Putnam Savings Bank was permitted to establish a reserve for bad debts and to make annual additions to the reserve. These additions could, within specified formula limits, be deducted in arriving at our taxable income. As a result of the 1996 Act, Putnam Savings Bank was required to use the specific charge off method in computing its bad debt deduction beginning with its 1996 federal tax return. Savings institutions were required to recapture any excess reserves over those established as of December 31, 1987 (base year reserve). At June 30, 2007 Putnam Savings Bank had no reserves subject to recapture in excess of its base year reserves.

Taxable Distributions and Recapture . Prior to the 1996 Act, bad debt reserves created prior to January 1, 1988 were subject to recapture into taxable income if Putnam Savings Bank failed to meet certain thrift asset and definitional tests. Federal legislation has eliminated these thrift-related recapture rules. At June 30, 2007, our total federal pre-1988 base year reserve was approximately $2.3 million. However, under current law, pre-1988 base year reserves remain subject to recapture if Putnam Savings Bank makes certain non-dividend distributions, repurchases any of its stock, pays dividends in excess of tax earnings and profits, or ceases to maintain a bank charter.

Alternative Minimum Tax . The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) imposes an alternative minimum tax (AMT) at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, which we refer to as “alternative minimum taxable income.” The AMT is payable to the extent such alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of an exemption amount and the AMT exceeds the regular income tax. Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain AMT payments may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. Putnam Savings Bank has not been subject to the AMT and has no such amounts available as credits for carryover.

Net Operating Loss Carryovers . A financial institution may carry back net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. At June 30, 2007, Putnam Savings Bank had no net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

Corporate Dividends-Received Deduction . PSB Holdings, Inc. may exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from Putnam Savings Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations. The

 

23


Table of Contents

corporate dividends-received deduction is 80% in the case of dividends received from corporations with which a corporate recipient does not file a consolidated tax return, and corporations which own less than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend may deduct only 70% of dividends received or accrued on their behalf.

State Taxation

Connecticut State Taxation . PSB Holdings, Inc. and Putnam Savings Bank and its subsidiaries, are subject to the Connecticut corporation business tax. Both entities are required to pay the regular corporation business tax (income tax).

The Connecticut corporation business tax is based on the federal taxable income before net operating loss and special deductions and makes certain modifications to federal taxable income to arrive at Connecticut taxable income. Connecticut taxable income is multiplied by the state tax rate of 7.5% to arrive at Connecticut income tax.

In 1998, the State of Connecticut enacted legislation permitting the formation of passive investment companies by financial institutions. This legislation exempts qualifying passive investment companies from the Connecticut corporation business tax and excludes dividends paid from a passive investment company from the taxable income of the parent financial institution. Putnam Savings Bank established a passive investment company, Putnam Bank Mortgage Servicing Company, during 2007 and eliminated the state income tax expense of Putnam Savings Bank effective July 1, 2006. If the State of Connecticut were to pass legislation in the future to eliminate the passive investment company exemption Putnam Savings Bank would be subject to state income taxes in Connecticut.

PSB Holdings, Inc. and Putnam Savings Bank are not currently under audit with respect to their income tax returns, and their state tax returns have not been audited for the past five years.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

General

Putnam Savings Bank is examined and supervised by the Office of Thrift Supervision. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s deposit insurance funds and depositors. Under this system of federal regulation, financial institutions are periodically examined to ensure that they satisfy applicable standards with respect to their capital adequacy, assets, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market interest rates. Following completion of its examination, the federal agency critiques the institution’s operations and assigns its rating (known as an institution’s CAMELS rating). Under federal law, an institution may not disclose its CAMELS rating to the public. Putnam Savings Bank also is a member of and owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, which is one of the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Putnam Savings Bank also is regulated to a lesser extent by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, governing reserves to be maintained against deposits and other matters. The Office of Thrift Supervision examines Putnam Savings Bank and prepares reports for the consideration of its Board of Directors on any operating deficiencies. Putnam Savings Bank’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by both federal and state laws, especially in matters concerning the ownership of deposit accounts and the form and content of Putnam Savings Bank’s mortgage documents.

Any change in these laws or regulations, whether by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of Thrift Supervision or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on PSB Holdings, Inc. and Putnam Savings Bank and their operations.

Federal Banking Regulation

Business Activities. A federal savings association derives its lending and investment powers from the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended, and the regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Under these laws and regulations, Putnam Savings Bank may invest in mortgage loans secured by residential real estate without limitations as a percentage of assets and non-residential real estate loans which may not in the aggregate exceed 400% of capital, commercial business loans up to 20% of assets in the aggregate and consumer loans up to 35% of assets in the aggregate, certain types of debt securities and certain other assets. Putnam Savings Bank also may establish subsidiaries that may engage in activities not otherwise permissible for Putnam Savings Bank, including real estate investment and securities and insurance brokerage.

Capital Requirements. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations require savings associations to meet three minimum capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital ratio, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for associations receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS rating system) and an 8% risk-based capital ratio. The prompt corrective action standards discussed below, in effect, establish a minimum 2% tangible capital standard.

The risk-based capital standard for savings associations requires the maintenance of Tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%, respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100%, assigned by the Office of Thrift Supervision based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Core capital is defined as common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The components of supplementary capital currently include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets and up to 45% of net unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital. Additionally, a savings association that retains credit risk in connection with an asset sale may be required to maintain additional regulatory capital because of the recourse back to the savings association. Putnam Savings Bank does not typically engage in asset sales.

At June 30, 2007, Putnam Savings Bank’s capital exceeded all applicable requirements.

Loans-to-One Borrower. A federal savings association generally may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be loaned, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which generally does not include real estate. As of June 30, 2007, Putnam Savings Bank was in compliance with the loans-to-one borrower limitations.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test. As a federal savings association, Putnam Savings Bank must satisfy the qualified thrift lender, or “QTL”, test. Under the QTL test, Putnam Savings Bank must maintain at least 65% of its “portfolio assets” in “qualified thrift investments” in at least nine of the most recent 12-month period. “Portfolio assets” generally means total assets of a savings institution, less the sum of specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, and the value of property used in the conduct of the savings association’s business.

“Qualified thrift investments” include various types of loans made for residential and housing purposes, investments related to such purposes, including certain mortgage-backed and related securities, and loans for personal, family, household and certain other purposes up to a limit of 20% of portfolio assets. “Qualified thrift investments” also include 100% of an institution’s credit card loans, education loans and small business loans. Putnam Savings Bank also may satisfy the QTL test by qualifying as a “domestic building and loan association” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.

 

25


Table of Contents

A savings association that fails the qualified thrift lender test must either convert to a bank charter or operate under specified restrictions. At June 30, 2007, Putnam Savings Bank satisfied this test.

Capital Distributions. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations govern capital distributions by a federal savings association, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the capital account. A savings association must file an application for approval of a capital distribution if:

 

   

the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceed the sum of the association’s net income for that year to date plus the association’s retained net income for the preceding two years;

 

   

the association would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution;

 

   

the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement or Office of Thrift Supervision-imposed condition; or

 

   

the association is not eligible for expedited treatment of its filings.

Even if an application is not otherwise required, every savings association that is a subsidiary of a holding company must still file a notice with the Office of Thrift Supervision at least 30 days before the Board of Directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.

The Office of Thrift Supervision may disapprove a notice or application if:

 

   

the association would be undercapitalized following the distribution;

 

   

the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or

 

   

the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement.

In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides that an insured depository institution shall not make any capital distribution, if after making such distribution the institution would be undercapitalized.

Liquidity. A federal savings association is required to maintain a sufficient amount of liquid assets to ensure its safe and sound operation.

Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws. All savings associations have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. In connection with its examination of a federal savings association, the Office of Thrift Supervision is required to assess the association’s record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. An association’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in denial of certain corporate applications, such as branches or mergers, or in restrictions on its activities. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions by the Office of Thrift Supervision, as well as other federal regulatory agencies and the Department of Justice. Putnam Savings Bank received a “satisfactory” Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent federal examination.

Privacy Standards. Effective July 2001, financial institutions, including Putnam Savings Bank, became subject to FDIC regulations implementing the privacy protection provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. These regulations require Putnam Savings Bank to disclose its privacy policy, including identifying with whom it shares “non-public personal information” to customers at the time of establishing the customer relationship and annually thereafter.

The regulations also require Putnam Savings Bank to provide its customers with initial and annual notices that accurately reflect its privacy policies and practices. In addition, Putnam Savings Bank is required to provide its customers with the ability to “opt-out” of having Putnam Savings Bank share their non-public personal

information with unaffiliated third parties before it can disclose such information, subject to certain exceptions. The implementation of these regulations did not have a material adverse effect on PSB Holdings, Inc. or Putnam Savings Bank. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act also allows each state to enact legislation that is more protective of consumers’ personal information. We cannot predict whether Connecticut may enact such legislation or what impact, if any, it would have if enacted.

On February 1, 2001, the FDIC and other federal banking agencies adopted guidelines establishing standards for safeguarding customer information to implement certain provisions of The Gramm-Leach Bliley Act. The guidelines describe the agencies’ expectations for the creation, implementation and maintenance of an information security program, which would include administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the size and complexity of the institution and the nature and scope of its activities. The standards set forth in the guidelines are intended to insure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information, protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records and protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records, or information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer. Putnam Savings Bank has implemented these guidelines, and such implementation did not have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Transactions with Related Parties. A federal savings association’s authority to engage in transactions with its “affiliates” is limited by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations and by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act (the “FRA”). The term “affiliates” for these purposes generally means any company that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with an institution. PSB Holdings, Inc. is an affiliate of Putnam Savings Bank. In general, transactions with affiliates must be on terms that are as favorable to the association as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain types of these transactions are restricted to an aggregate percentage of the association’s capital. Collateral in specified amounts must usually be provided by affiliates in order to receive loans from the association. In addition, Office of Thrift Supervision regulations prohibit a savings association from lending to any of its affiliates that are engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate, other than a subsidiary.

Putnam Savings Bank’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and 10% shareholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons, is currently governed by the requirements of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the FRA and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these provisions require that extensions of credit to insiders (i) be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features, and (ii) not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of Putnam Savings Bank’s capital. In addition, extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be approved by Putnam Savings Bank’s Board of Directors.

Enforcement. The Office of Thrift Supervision has primary enforcement responsibility over federal savings institutions and has the authority to bring enforcement action against all “institution-affiliated parties”, including stockholders, and attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution. Formal enforcement action by the Office of Thrift Supervision may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order, to removal of officers and/or directors of the institution and the appointment of a receiver or conservator. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and actions, and range up to $25,000 per day, unless a finding of reckless disregard is made, in which case penalties may be as high as $1 million per day. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation also has the authority to terminate deposit insurance or to recommend to the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision that enforcement action be taken with respect to a particular savings institution. If action is not taken by the Director, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to take action under specified circumstances.

Standards for Safety and Soundness. Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe certain standards for all insured depository institutions. These standards relate to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation, and other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. The federal banking agencies adopted Interagency Guidelines Prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness to implement the safety and soundness standards required under federal law. The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. The guidelines address internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, credit underwriting, loan documentation, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If an institution fails to meet these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to submit a compliance plan.

Prompt Corrective Action Regulations . Under the prompt corrective action regulations, the Office of Thrift Supervision is required and authorized to take supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings associations. For this purpose, a savings association is placed in one of the following five categories based on the association’s capital:

 

   

well-capitalized (at least 5% leverage capital, 6% Tier 1 risk-based capital and 10% total risk-based capital);

 

   

adequately capitalized (at least 4% leverage capital, 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital and 8% total risk-based capital);

 

   

undercapitalized (less than 8% total risk-based capital, 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital or 3% leverage capital);

 

   

significantly undercapitalized (less than 6% total risk-based capital, 3% Tier 1 risk-based capital or 3% leverage capital); and

 

   

critically undercapitalized (less than 2% tangible capital).

Generally, the banking regulator is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for an association that is “critically undercapitalized” within specific time frames. The regulations also provide that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision within 45 days of the date an association receives notice that it is “undercapitalized”, “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized”. The criteria for an acceptable capital restoration plan include, among other things, the establishment of the methodology and assumptions for attaining adequately capitalized status on an annual basis, procedures for ensuring compliance with restrictions imposed by applicable federal regulations, the identification of the types and levels of activities the savings association will engage in while the capital restoration plan is in effect, and assurances that the capital restoration plan will not appreciably increase the current risk profile of the savings association. Any holding company for the savings association required to submit a capital restoration plan must guarantee the lesser of: an amount equal to 5% of the savings association’s assets at the time it was notified or deemed to be undercapitalized by the Office of Thrift Supervision, or the amount necessary to restore the savings association to adequately capitalized status. This guarantee remains in place until the Office of Thrift Supervision notifies the savings association that it has maintained adequately capitalized status for each of four consecutive calendar quarters, and the Office of Thrift Supervision has the authority to require payment and collect payment under the guarantee. Failure by a holding company to provide the required guarantee will result in certain operating restrictions on the savings association, such as restrictions on the ability to declare and pay dividends, pay executive compensation and management fees, and increase assets or expand operations. The Office of Thrift Supervision may also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions against undercapitalized associations, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors.

At June 30, 2007, Putnam Savings Bank met the criteria for being considered “well-capitalized”.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. Deposit accounts in Putnam Savings Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, generally up to a maximum of $100,000 per separately insured depositor and up to a maximum of $250,000 for self-directed retirement accounts. Putnam Savings Bank’s deposits, therefore, are subject to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance assessments. Recent legislation, among other things, has increased the amount of federal deposit insurance coverage for certain types of accounts while preserving the $100,000 coverage limit for individual accounts and municipal deposits. The legislation also gives the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation discretion to adjust insurance coverage for inflation, beginning in 2010. The legislation also gives the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation flexibility to adjust the insurance fund reserve ratio between 1.15% and 1.50% of estimated insured deposits, depending on projected losses, economic changes and assessment ratios at the end of a calendar year, and allows for dividends to insured institutions whenever reserve ratios exceed specified levels.

On November 2, 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation adopted final regulations that assess insurance premiums based on risk. As a result, the new regulation will enable the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to more closely tie each financial institution’s deposit insurance premiums to the risk it poses to the deposit insurance fund. Under the new risk-based assessment system, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will evaluate the risk of each financial institution based on its supervisory rating, its financial ratios, and its long-term debt issuer rating for larger institutions. The new rates for nearly all of the financial institutions industry vary between five and seven cents for every $100 of domestic deposits. If this rule had been in effect on June 30, 2007, Putnam Savings Bank would have paid an annual deposit insurance assessment to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of approximately $203,000. At the same time, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation adopted final regulations designating the reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund during 2007 at 1.25% of estimated insured deposits.

Effective March 31, 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation merged the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (“SAIF”) into a single fund called the Deposit Insurance Fund. As a result of the merger, the BIF and the SAIF were abolished. The merger of the BIF and the SAIF into the Deposit Insurance Fund does not affect the authority of the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) to impose and collect, with the approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the annualized FICO assessment was equal to 1.22 basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits maintained at an institution.

Prohibitions Against Tying Arrangements . Federal savings associations are prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from extending credit to or offering any other service, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the institution or its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. Putnam Savings Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, Putnam Savings Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank in an amount at least equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid residential mortgage loans and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or 1/20 of its borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, whichever is greater. As of June 30, 2007, Putnam Savings Bank was in compliance with this requirement.

Federal Reserve System . The Federal Reserve Board regulations require savings associations to maintain noninterest-earning reserves against their transaction accounts, such as negotiable order of withdrawal and regular checking accounts. At June 30, 2007, Putnam Savings Bank was in compliance with these reserve requirements.

The USA PATRIOT Act

The USA PATRIOT Act gives the federal government new powers to address terrorist threats through enhanced domestic security measures, expanded surveillance powers, increased information sharing and broadened anti-money laundering requirements. Certain provisions of the act impose affirmative obligations on a broad range of financial institutions, including savings banks, like Putnam Savings Bank. These obligations include enhanced anti-money laundering programs, customer identification programs and regulations relating to private banking accounts or correspondence accounts in the United States for non-United States persons or their representatives (including foreign individuals visiting the United States).

The federal banking agencies have begun to propose and implement regulations pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act. These proposed and interim regulations would require financial institutions to adopt the policies and procedures contemplated by the USA PATRIOT Act.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted in response to public concerns regarding corporate accountability in connection with certain accounting scandals. The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies, and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act includes very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules requiring the Securities and Exchange Commission and national securities exchanges to adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related rules, and mandates further studies of certain issues by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees.

Although we anticipate that we will incur additional expense in complying with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the regulations that have been promulgated to implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management does not expect that such compliance will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Holding Company Regulation

General . Putnam Bancorp, MHC and PSB Holdings, Inc. are nondiversified savings and loan holding companies within the meaning of the Home Owners’ Loan Act. As such, Putnam Bancorp, MHC and PSB Holdings, Inc. are registered with the Office of Thrift Supervision and are subject to Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, examinations, supervision and reporting requirements. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision has enforcement authority over PSB Holdings, Inc. and Putnam Bancorp, MHC, and their subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the Office of Thrift Supervision to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings institution. As federal corporations, PSB Holdings, Inc. and Putnam Bancorp, MHC are generally not subject to state business organization laws.

Permitted Activities . Pursuant to Section 10(o) of the Home Owners’ Loan Act and Office of Thrift Supervision regulations and policy, a mutual holding company and a federally chartered mid-tier holding company such as PSB Holdings, Inc. may engage in the following activities: (i) investing in the stock of a savings association; (ii) acquiring a mutual association through the merger of such association into a savings association subsidiary of such holding company or an interim savings association subsidiary of such holding

Table of Contents

company; (iii) merging with or acquiring another holding company, one of whose subsidiaries is a savings association; (iv) investing in a corporation, the capital stock of which is available for purchase by a savings association under federal law or under the law of any state where the subsidiary savings association or associations share their home offices; (v) furnishing or performing management services for a savings association subsidiary of such company; (vi) holding, managing or liquidating assets owned or acquired from a savings subsidiary of such company; (vii) holding or managing properties used or occupied by a savings association subsidiary of such company; (viii) acting as trustee under deeds of trust; (ix) any other activity (A) that the Federal Reserve Board, by regulation, has determined to be permissible for bank holding companies under Section 4(c) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, unless the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision, by regulation, prohibits or limits any such activity for savings and loan holding companies; or (B) in which multiple savings and loan holding companies were authorized (by regulation) to directly engage on March 5, 1987; (x) any activity permissible for financial holding companies under Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act, including securities and insurance underwriting; and (xi) purchasing, holding, or disposing of stock acquired in connection with a qualified stock issuance if the purchase of such stock by such savings and loan holding company is approved by the Director. If a mutual holding company acquires or merges with another holding company, the holding company acquired or the holding company resulting from such merger or acquisition may only invest in assets and engage in activities listed in (i) through (xi) above, and has a period of two years to cease any nonconforming activities and divest any nonconforming investments.

The Home Owners’ Loan Act prohibits a savings and loan holding company, including PSB Holdings, Inc. and Putnam Bancorp, MHC, directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring more than 5% of another savings institution or holding company thereof, without prior written approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. It also prohibits the acquisition or retention of, with certain exceptions, more than 5% of a nonsubsidiary company engaged in activities other than those permitted by the Home Owners’ Loan Act, or acquiring or retaining control of an institution that is not federally insured. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Office of Thrift Supervision must consider the financial and managerial resources, future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the federal deposit insurance fund, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors.

The Office of Thrift Supervision is prohibited from approving any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, subject to two exceptions: (i) the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies; and (ii) the acquisition of a savings institution in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such acquisitions. The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions.

Waivers of Dividends by Putnam Bancorp, MHC . Office of Thrift Supervision regulations require Putnam Bancorp, MHC to notify the Office of Thrift Supervision of any proposed waiver of its receipt of dividends from PSB Holdings, Inc. The Office of Thrift Supervision reviews dividend waiver notices on a case- by-case basis, and, in general, does not object to any such waiver if: (i) the mutual holding company’s board of directors determines that such waiver is consistent with such directors’ fiduciary duties to the mutual holding company’s members; (ii) for as long as the savings association subsidiary is controlled by the mutual holding company, the dollar amount of dividends waived by the mutual holding company is considered as a restriction on the retained earnings of the savings association, which restriction, if material, is disclosed in the public financial statements of the savings association as a note to the financial statements; (iii) the amount of any dividend waived by the mutual holding company is available for declaration as a dividend solely to the mutual holding company, and, in accordance with SFAS 5, where the savings association determines that the payment of such dividend to the mutual holding company is probable, an appropriate dollar amount is recorded as a liability; and (iv) the amount of any waived dividend is considered as having been paid by the savings association in evaluating any proposed dividend under Office of Thrift Supervision capital distribution regulations. Except for the receipt of $50,000, Putnam Bancorp, MHC has waived all dividends paid by PSB Holdings, Inc. and is expected to do so in the

future. Under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, our public stockholders would not be diluted because of any dividends waived by Putnam Bancorp, MHC (and waived dividends would not be considered in determining an appropriate exchange ratio) in the event Putnam Bancorp, MHC converts to stock form.

Conversion of Putnam Bancorp, MHC to Stock Form . Office of Thrift Supervision regulations permit Putnam Bancorp, MHC to convert from the mutual form of organization to the capital stock form of organization (a “Conversion Transaction”). There can be no assurance when, if ever, a Conversion Transaction will occur, and the Board of Directors has no current intention or plan to undertake a Conversion Transaction. In a Conversion Transaction a new stock holding company would be formed as the successor to PSB Holdings, Inc. (the “New Holding Company”), Putnam Bancorp, MHC’s corporate existence would end, and certain depositors of Putnam Savings Bank would receive the right to subscribe for additional shares of the New Holding Company. In a Conversion Transaction, each share of common stock held by stockholders other than Putnam Bancorp, MHC (“Minority Stockholders”) would be automatically converted into a number of shares of common stock of the New Holding Company determined pursuant to an exchange ratio that ensures that Minority Stockholders own the same percentage of common stock in the New Holding Company as they owned in PSB Holdings, Inc. immediately prior to the Conversion Transaction. Under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, Minority Stockholders would not be diluted because of any dividends waived by Putnam Bancorp, MHC (and waived dividends would not be considered in determining an appropriate exchange ratio), in the event Putnam Bancorp, MHC converts to stock form. The total number of shares held by Minority Stockholders after a Conversion Transaction also would be increased by any purchases by Minority Stockholders in the stock offering conducted as part of the Conversion Transaction.

The following analysis discusses changes in the financial condition and results of operations at and for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, appearing in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual report on Form 10-KSB.

Overview

The Company’s results of operations depend primarily on net interest and dividend income, which is the difference between the interest and dividend income earned on its interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company also generates noninterest income, primarily from fees and service charges. Gains on sales of loans and securities and cash surrender value of life insurance policies are added sources of noninterest income. The Company’s noninterest expense primarily consists of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, advertising, data processing, professional fees and other operating expenses.

Net Income. Net income decreased $192,000, or 9.1%, to $1.9 million or $.29 per basic share and $.28 per diluted share for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.1 million or $.31 per basic share and $.30 per diluted share for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in net income reflected lower net interest and dividend income due to the flat yield curve and higher noninterest expense. In addition, during the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, the Company established a new subsidiary, Putnam Bank Mortgage Servicing Company, a qualified “passive investment company,” that is intended to reduce Connecticut state taxes on interest earned on real estate loans in future years. As part of the formation of this subsidiary, the Company incurred a one-time adjustment to deferred taxes that resulted in additional tax expense of $147,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assumptions by management and that have, or could have, a material impact on our income or the carrying value of our assets. Our critical accounting policies are those related to our allowance for loan losses.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses which is charged against income.

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. We consider a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal and external loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates by management that may be susceptible to significant change.

The analysis has two components: specific and general allocations. Specific allocations are made for loans for which collection is questionable and the loan is downgraded. Additionally, the size of the allocation is measured by determining an expected collection or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general allowance for loan losses. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowances we have established which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.

Goodwill . The Company’s goodwill (the amount paid in excess of fair value of acquired net assets) is reviewed at least annually to ensure that there have been no events or circumstances resulting in an impairment of the recorded amount of excess purchase price. Adverse changes in the economic environment, operations of acquired business units, or other factors could result in a decline in projected fair values. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount, a loss would be recognized to reduce the carrying amount to fair value. Management has discussed the development, selection and application of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006

Assets. Total assets of the Company were $491.2 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $16.7 million or 3.5%, from $474.5 million at June 30, 2006. Investments in available-for-sale securities decreased $22.6 million or 9.2%, to $222.5 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $245.1 million at June 30, 2006. Federal funds sold at June 30, 2007 were $4.5 million compared to $1.5 million as of June 30, 2006. The decrease in securities was primarily used to fund loan growth. Net loans outstanding increased $31.9 million or 15.9% to $232.4 million at June 30, 2007 from $200.5 million at June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $22.2 million, or 14.7% in residential mortgage loans, reflecting continued strong demand for such loans in our expanded market area. Commercial loans increased $11.8 million, or 21.9%, from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007, which reflected the continued strong performance by the Company’s Business Banking Group as well as strong economic conditions in our market area.

Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $14.4 million, or 3.4%, from $425.5 million at June 30, 2006 to $439.9 million at June 30, 2007, primarily due to the increase in borrowed funds. Borrowed funds increased by $17.3 million, or 13.9%, to $141.9 million at June 30, 2007 from $124.6 million at June 30, 2006. Total deposits decreased by $3.5 million, or 1.2%, to $293.5 million at June 30, 2007 from $297.0 million at June 30, 2006. This decrease included a reduction in brokered CDs from $18.1 million at June 30, 2006 to $11.4 million as of June 30, 2007. Excluding this change in brokered CDs, total deposits as of June 30, 2007 would have increased $3.2 million, or 1.1%, from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007.

Stockholders’ Equity. Total stockholders’ equity increased $2.3 million, or 4.8% to $51.2 million at June 30, 2007 from $48.9 million at June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to net income of $1.9 million and the decrease in 2007 in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) of $1.1 million. These factors were partially offset by $408,000 in stock repurchases during the fiscal year and dividends of $704,000. The unrealized loss in the available-for-sale securities was attributable solely to interest rate movements. Management does not consider the loss to be other than temporary.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

Net Income. Net income decreased $192,000, or 9.1%, to $1.9 million or $.29 per basic share and $.28 per diluted share for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.1 million or $.31 per basic share and $.30 per diluted share for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased by $5.9 million, or 30.5%, to $25.3 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 from $19.4 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in interest and dividend income resulted primarily from an increase of $76.1 million, or 20.3%, in average interest-earning assets between the periods. In addition, the yield on average interest-earning assets increased 44 basis points to 5.64% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 5.20% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. Interest income on loans increased by $3.0 million, or 28.0%, to $13.9 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 from $10.9 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. Interest and dividend income on investment securities and deposits increased $2.9 million, or 33.7%, to $11.4 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 from $8.5 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $6.0 million, or 68.1%, to $14.8 million for twelve months ended June 30, 2007 from $8.8 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in interest expense resulted primarily from an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $75.2 million, or 24.5% from period to period. In addition, the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased by 101 basis points to 3.88% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 2.87% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $67,000, or 0.6%, to $10.57 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 from $10.63 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The primary reason for the decrease in our net interest income was a lower net interest margin for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, 2.35%, as compared to 2.84% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. This was partially offset by an additional $3.9 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 from $36.3 million as of June 30, 2006 to $40.2 million as of June 30, 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 was $263,000 compared to $200,000 recorded for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The primary reason for the increased provision was the $32.1 million increase in total loans, to $234.2 million at June 30, 2007 from $202.1 million at June 30, 2006.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $305,000, or 12.5%, to $2.7 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.4 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in noninterest income resulted primarily from a $576,000 increase in service fee income, a decrease of $304,000 in net gains on sales of securities and an increase of $23,000 in commissions from brokerage services during the twelve months ended June 30, 2007.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $630,000, or 6.2%, to $10.7 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 from $10.1 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. Compensation and benefits expense increased by $436,000, or 8.2%, to $5.7 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 from $5.3 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The primary reasons for the increase in compensation and benefits expense were increased salaries and commissions, due to increased staffing and higher medical insurance premiums. In addition, the current period included $215,000 in employee stock award compensation expense as compared to $128,000 in stock award compensation expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased by $7,000, or 0.5%, to $1.29 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.30 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to a decrease in depreciation expense of $15,000. All other noninterest expense, consisting primarily of charitable contributions, marketing, office supplies, and professional expenses increased by $201,000, or 5.7%, to $3.7 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 from $3.5 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. Included in this increase was $62,000 in the amortization of a core deposit intangible related to the branch acquisition completed in fiscal year 2006 In addition, there were increases in marketing expenses, data processing fees and other miscellaneous expenses.

Provision for Income Taxes. The income tax expense decreased by $263,000, or 42.6%, to $354,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 from $617,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. Our effective tax rate was 15.5% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, compared to 22.6% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate of 34% primarily due to the dividends-received deduction applicable to certain securities in our investment portfolio, tax-exempt municipal income and non-taxable bank-owned life insurance income.

Rate/Volume Analysis

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The term “liquidity” refers to the ability of the Company and the Bank to meet current and future short-term financial obligations. The Company and the Bank further define liquidity as the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to fund loan originations, deposit withdrawals and operating expenses. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. The Bank’s primary sources of liquidity are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal and mortgage-related securities, and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. The Bank can borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank based on eligible collateral of loans and securities. The Bank had Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings as of June 30, 2007 of $137.9 million with unused borrowing capacity of $38.0 million. The Bank also has the ability to originate brokered certificates of deposit as a secondary source of liquidity.

The Bank’s primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Bank originated loans net of principal payments of $31.9 million and $34.5 million, respectively. Purchases of securities totaled $87.7 million and $153.7 million, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Loan repayment and maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds. However, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities are strongly influenced by interest rates, general and economic conditions and competition in the marketplace. These factors reduce the predictability of the timing of these sources of funds. Deposit flows are affected by the level of

interest rates, by the interest rates and products offered by competitors and by other factors. The Bank monitors its liquidity position frequently and anticipates that it will have sufficient funds to meet its current funding commitments.

Certificates of deposit totaled $153.7 million at June 30, 2007. The Bank relies on competitive rates, customer service and long-standing relationships with customers to retain deposits. Based on the Bank’s experience with deposit retention and current retention strategies, management believes that, although it is not possible to predict future terms and conditions upon renewal, a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

Management is not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that will have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on the Company’s or the Bank’s liquidity, capital or operations, nor is management aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities which, if implemented, would have a material effect on the Company’s or the Bank’s liquidity, capital or operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In addition to the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, lines of credit, and letters of credit.

For the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

PSB Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of PSB Holdings, Inc. (the Company) and subsidiary as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PSB Holdings, Inc. and subsidiary at June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Business

PSB Holdings, Inc. (the Company) is a federally chartered holding company formed on May 27, 2003 for the purpose of acquiring all of the common stock of Putnam Savings Bank (the Bank) concurrent with the Bank’s reorganization from a mutual savings institution to the mutual holding company form of organization. No shares were offered to the public as part of this reorganization.

On October 4, 2004, the Company completed a plan of stock issuance pursuant to which 44.5% of its common stock was sold to eligible depositors and the Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The Company issued a total of 6,943,125 shares.

3,729,846 shares, representing 53.72% of total shares issued, was issued to Putnam Bancorp MHC in exchange for its ownership of the bank. The sole purpose of Putnam Bancorp MHC is to own a majority of the common stock of PSB Holdings, Inc.

As part of the stock issuance the Bank established the Putnam Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which purchased 257,062 shares of common stock. The ESOP borrowed the necessary funds from the Company. The Bank intends to make annual contributions adequate to meet the debt service requirements of the ESOP.

In connection with the stock offering the Company established The Putnam Savings Foundation and contributed 123,588 shares of common stock, representing 4% of shares sold to the public. The Foundation will support charities in the geographic area the Bank serves. The Bank recognized an expense of $1,235,880 representing the shares valued at $10.

The Bank is a federally chartered savings bank and provides a full range of banking services to individual and small business customers located primarily in Eastern Connecticut. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions throughout the region.

Both the Company and the Bank are subject to the regulations of certain federal agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Putnam Savings Bank, and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Windham North, LLC, PSB Realty, LLC and Putnam Bank Mortgage Servicing Company. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. Such policies have been followed on a consistent basis.

Use of estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of condition and operations for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

48


Table of Contents

PSB Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

 

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and other real estate owned, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in Connecticut.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and amounts due from depository institutions and investments in federal funds.

Investment securities

The Company’s management determines the appropriate classification of a security at the time of purchase.

Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of capital, net of estimated income taxes.

All of the Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale.

Mortgage-backed securities, which include collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), are either U.S. Government Agency securities or are rated in at least the top two ratings categories by at least one of the major rating agencies at the time of purchase. One of the risks inherent when investing in mortgage-backed securities and CMOs is the ability of such instruments to incur prepayments of principal prior to maturity. Because of prepayments, the weighted-average yield of these securities may also change, which could affect earnings. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts is done over a continuously evaluated remaining life using the level yield method. Gains or losses on the sales of securities are recognized at trade date utilizing the specific identification method.

Loans receivable and allowance for loan losses

Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balance adjusted for loans in process, deferred loan fees, and allowances for loan losses. Most of the Company’s activities are with customers located within eastern Connecticut. The Company does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or customer.

Uncollected interest on loans receivable is accrued as earned based on rates applied to principal amounts outstanding. Recognition of income on the accrual basis is discontinued when there is sufficient question as to the collectibility of the interest. In these cases, the interest previously accrued to income is reversed, and the loans are placed on the cash basis.

Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are being deferred and the net amount amortized on a level-yield basis as an adjustment to the related loan yield over its contractual life. Unamortized net fees are recognized upon early repayment of the loans.

The allowance for loan losses is established by a provision charged to earnings and is maintained at a level to absorb loan losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable based on management’s evaluation of known and inherent credit risks in the loan portfolio. When a loan or portion of a loan is considered uncollectible, it is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Recoveries of loans previously charged-off are credited to the allowance when collected.

 

49


Table of Contents

PSB Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

 

Management makes regular evaluations of the loan portfolio to determine the adequacy of the level of the allowance for loan losses. Numerous factors are considered in the evaluation, including a review of certain borrowers’ current financial status and credit standing, available collateral, loss experience in relation to outstanding loans, the overall loan portfolio quality, management’s judgment regarding prevailing economic conditions, and other relevant factors.

In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Loans held-for-sale and mortgage-servicing rights

Loans held-for-sale are valued at the lower of cost or market as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. All loans sold by the Company are sold on a non-recourse basis. Gains or losses on the sale of loans are determined using the specific identification method.

The Company sells residential mortgage loans with servicing rights retained. At the time of the sale, the Company determines the value of the retained servicing rights, which represents the present value of the differential between the contractual servicing fee and adequate compensation, defined as the fee a sub-servicer would require to assume the role of servicer, after considering the estimated effects of prepayments. If material, a portion of the gain on the sale of the loan is recognized as due to the value of the servicing rights, and a servicing asset is recorded. The Company has had no loan sales which have resulted in the recording of a servicing asset, due to the immaterial differential between the contractual servicing fee and adequate compensation, as described above.

Rate lock commitments

In accordance with FASB interpretations and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 105 rate lock commitment agreements entered into for loans originated for sale are considered derivatives and must be recorded at fair market value. The Company performs quarterly valuations and if material will record the commitment. No commitments have been recorded due to the immateriality of the amount.

Other real estate owned

Real estate properties acquired through loan foreclosure and other partial or total satisfaction of problem loans are carried at the lower of fair value less estimated costs to sell or the related loan balance at the date of foreclosure. Valuations are periodically performed by management. Losses arising at the time of acquisition of such properties are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent write-downs in the carrying value and expenses incurred to maintain the properties are charged to expense.

Premises and equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed on the straight-line method at rates based on estimated useful lives. Estimated lives are 5 to 40 years for buildings and premises and 3 to 20 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment.

 

50


Table of Contents

PSB Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

 

Expenditures for replacements or major improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of premises and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is included in income.

Bank owned life insurance asset

The cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance relates to policies on employees of the Bank for which the Bank is the beneficiary. Increases in cash surrender value are included in non-interest income in the consolidated income statements.

Goodwill and core deposit intangible

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis. The Company records as goodwill the excess purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. The Company follows the guidance provided in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, which prescribes a two-step process to test and measure impairment of goodwill. Core deposit intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis over ten years.

Earnings per share

Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed in a manner similar to basic net income per common share except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the incremental common shares (as computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were issued during the period. The Company’s common stock equivalents relate solely to stock option and restricted stock awards. Anti-dilutive shares are common stock equivalents with weighted-average exercise prices in excess of the weighted-average market value for the periods presented. The Company had no anti-dilutive common shares outstanding at June 30, 2007. Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are not included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating either basic or diluted net income per common share.

Employee stock ownership plan

Under SOP 93-6, unearned ESOP shares are not considered outstanding and are therefore not taken into account when

computing earnings per share. Unearned ESOP shares are presented as a reduction to stockholders’ equity and represent shares to be allocated to ESOP participants in future periods for services provided to the Company. As shares are committed to be released, compensation expense is recognized for the fair market value of the stock and stockholders’ equity is increased by a corresponding amount. The loan to the ESOP will be repaid principally from the Bank’s contributions to the ESOP and dividends payable on common stock held by ESOP over a period of twenty years.

Stock Based Compensation

As more fully described in Note 11, the Company has a stock based incentive plan authorizing various types of incentive awards that may be granted to directors, officers and employees. The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s SFAS No.123(R), “Share Based Payment” as of July 1, 2006. In accordance with Statement No.123(R), the Company records share-based compensation expense related to outstanding stock option and restricted stock awards based upon the fair value at the date of grant over the vesting period of such awards on a straight-line basis.

Computation of fair values

SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments, including both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the statement of financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value.

The calculation of fair value estimates of financial instruments is dependent upon certain subjective assumptions and involves significant uncertainties. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. These estimates do not reflect any possible tax ramifications, estimated transaction costs or any premium or discount that could result from offering the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.

The following methods and assumptions were utilized by the Company in estimating the fair values of its on-balance sheet financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents —The carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial condition approximate these assets’ fair value.

Investment securities —Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on market prices for comparable instruments. The carrying values of Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLBB) stock approximate fair values.

Loans receivable —For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and without significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value of other loans are estimated by discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The fair value of nonaccrual loans is estimated using the lesser of loan value or the estimated fair values of the underlying collateral.

Loans held-for-sale —The current market price of similar loans sold is used to estimate the fair value of loans held-for-sale.

Deposits —The fair values of demand, NOW, and savings deposits are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair values for time certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

 

52

PSB Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

 

Borrowed funds —Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Mortgagors’ escrow accounts —The carrying value of escrow accounts approximates fair value.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for certain income and expense items differently for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes. Provisions for deferred taxes are being made in recognition of these temporary differences.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets”. SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability measured at fair value. Additionally, SFAS No. 156 specifies that an entity must elect whether to measure servicing assets and liabilities in subsequent periods at fair value or amortize the asset or liability in proportion to and over the life of the servicing asset or liability. The statement is effective at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. At this time, the Company does not expect that this statement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and expand disclosures about fair values. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

During the first quarter of 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS No. 159), which permits entities to choose and measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of 2008, and is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations. Early adoption is permitted.

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF Issue 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (EITF Issue 06-4). EITF Issue 06-4 requires that for endorsement split-dollar insurance arrangements that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 12 based on the substantive agreement of the employee. If the employee has effectively agreed to maintain a life insurance policy during postretirement periods, the costs of the life insurance policy during the postretirement periods should be accrued in accordance with either FASB Statement No. 106 or APB No. 12. If the employer has agreed to provide a death benefit, the employer should recognize a liability for the future death benefit in accordance with either SFAS No. 106 or APB No. 12. EITF Issue 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of EITF Issue 06-4 on its financial statements.

Reclassification

Prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to changes in the current consolidated financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the 2006 net income.

The Company established Putnam Bank Mortgage Servicing Company during the year ended June 30, 2007. The subsidiary qualifies and operates as a Connecticut passive investment company pursuant to legislation. Because the subsidiary earns sufficient income from passive investments and its dividends to the parent are exempt from Connecticut Corporation Business Tax, the subsidiary Bank no longer expects to incur Connecticut income tax expense or to recognize its Connecticut deferred tax asset. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of “temporary differences” between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations.

The principal reasons for the income tax expense differing from the amount of such tax computed by applying the federal statutory tax rate of 34% to reported income before income tax expense were as follows:

SFAS No. 109 requires a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will not realize all of its state tax benefits related to realized and unrealized capital losses, and contributions; therefore it has reserved that portion of its deferred tax assets.

Retained earnings at June 30, 2007 includes a contingency reserve for loan losses of $2,284,000 which represents the tax reserve balance existing at December 31, 1987 and is maintained in accordance with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to thrift institutions. It is not anticipated that the Company will incur a federal income tax liability related to the reduction of this reserve and accordingly, deferred income taxes of $777,000 has not be recognized as of June 30, 2007.

9. Regulatory Capital

The Company, as a federally chartered holding company, is not subject to regulatory capital requirements. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements.

The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) regulations require savings institutions to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. Under the regulations in effect at June 30, 2007, the Bank was required to maintain a minimum ratio of tangible equity capital to total adjusted assets of 1.50%; a minimum ratio of Tier 1 (core) capital to total adjusted assets of 4.00%; a minimum ratio of Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.00% and a minimum ratio of total (core and supplementary) capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.00%. As of June 30, 2007 the Bank meets all capital requirements to which it is subject.

At June 30, 2007 the Bank was considered “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain a minimum ratio of tangible equity capital to total adjusted assets of 2.00%; a minimum ratio of Tier 1 (core) capital to total adjusted assets of 5.00%; a minimum ratio of Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.00% and a minimum ratio of total (core and supplementary) capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.00%. There have been no subsequent conditions or events which management believes have changed the Bank’s status.

The following is a summary of the Bank’s actual capital as computed under the standards established by the OTS at June 30:

 

     2007     2006  
     Amount    Ratio     Amount    Ratio  
     (dollars in thousands)  

Tangible Equity Capital (to Adjusted Total Assets)

   $ 39,678    8.22 %   $ 33,536    7.26 %

Tier I Capital (to Adjusted Total Assets)

     39,678    8.22 %     33,536    7.26 %

Tier I Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets)

The ability of the Company to pay dividends depends, in part, on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. The Bank will not be able to declare or pay a cash dividend on, or repurchase any of its common stock, if the effect thereof would be to reduce the regulatory capital of the Bank to an amount below amounts required under OTS rules and regulations.

10. Benefit Plans

Defined Contribution Plan

The Bank has a defined contribution plan that covers substantially all of the Bank’s employees. Contributions to the plan are discretionary and are voted on annually by the Directors of the Bank. The Bank recognized expense of $217,637 and $191,822 for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

401K Plan

The Bank has a 401K plan covering each eligible employee. Employees must be 21 years of age, work at least 1,000 hours per year, and have at least 1 year of service with the Bank to be eligible to participate. Employees may defer gross compensation up to certain limits defined in the Internal Revenue Code. The Bank’s matching contribution is discretionary. For the year ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 the Bank chose to contribute 25% of the employee’s deferral on a maximum of 4% of the employee’s salary. The Bank contributed $31,505 and $20,258, to the plan during the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Bank established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) on October 4, 2004 in connection with its common stock offering. The ESOP purchased 257,062 shares of the common stock of the Company. To fund the purchase, the ESOP borrowed $2.6 million from the Company. The borrowing is at an initial interest rate of 4.75% and is to be repaid on a pro-rata basis in twenty substantially equal annual installments. The collateral for the loan is the common stock of the Company purchased by the ESOP.

The shares of stock purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account until they are released for allocation among participants. The shares will be released annually from the suspense account and the released shares will be allocated among the participants on the basis of each participant’s compensation for the year of allocation. As shares are released from collateral, the Bank recognizes compensation expense equal to the average market price of the shares during the period and the shares will be outstanding for earning-per-share purposes. The shares not released are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the capital accounts of the

consolidated statements of financial condition. ESOP expense for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $135,908 and $132,743, respectively. At June 30, 2007 and 2006 there were 34,009 and 21,510 unallocated and 223,053 and 235,552 unreleased ESOP shares. The unreleased shares had an aggregate fair value of $2.4 million.

Stock-Based Incentive Plan

At the annual meeting of stockholders on October 21, 2005, stockholders of the Company approved the PSB Holdings, Inc. 2005 Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the Incentive Plan). Under the Incentive Plan, the Company may grant up to 340,213 stock options and 136,085 shares of restricted stock to its employees, officers and directors for an aggregate amount of up to 476,298 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance upon the grant or exercise of awards. Both incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options may be granted under the Incentive Plan.

On November 7, 2005, the Company awarded 319,800 options to purchase the Company’s common stock and 129,281 shares of restricted stock. Stock option awards were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant ($10.60) with a maximum term of ten years. Both stock option and restricted stock awards vest at 20% per year beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant.

On June 7, 2006, the Company awarded 18,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock and 6,000 shares of restricted stock. Stock option awards were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant ($10.78) with a maximum term of ten years. Both stock option and restricted stock awards vest at 20% per year beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant.

On May 25, 2007, the Company awarded 29,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock and 9,500 shares of restricted stock. Stock option awards were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant ($10.70) with a maximum term of ten years. Both stock option and restricted stock awards vest at 20% per year beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant.

Stock options and restricted stock awards are considered common stock equivalents for the purpose of computing earnings per share on a diluted basis.

In accordance with SFAS No.123(R), the Company has recorded share-based compensation expense related to outstanding stock option and restricted stock awards based upon the fair value at the date of grant over the vesting period of such awards on a straight-line basis. The fair value of each restricted stock allocation, based on the market price at the date of grant, is recorded to unearned stock awards. Compensation expenses related to unearned restricted shares are amortized to compensation and benefits expense over the vesting period of the restricted stock awards. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing method which includes several assumptions such as volatility, expected dividends, expected term and risk-free rate for each stock option award.

PSB Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

 

In determining the expected term of the option awards, the Company elected to follow the simplified method as permitted by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, which was issued to provide guidance on the implementation of SFAS 123(R). Under this method, the Company has estimated the expected term of the options as being equal to the average of the vesting term plus the original contractual term. The Company estimated its volatility using the historical volatility of other, similar companies during a period of time equal to the expected life of the options. The risk-free rate for the periods within the contractual life of the options is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing method and the assumptions used to determine the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted were as follows:

 

     November 7, 2005 Grant     June 7, 2006 Grant     May 25, 2007 Grant  

Dividend yield

     1.89 %     2.23 %     2.24 %

That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.5 years. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $393,635 and $321,349 for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively in connection with the stock option and restricted stock awards.

12. Financial Instruments

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. These commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

The contract or notional amounts of outstanding commitments at June 30, were as follows:

 

     2007    2006
     (in thousands)

Commitments to extend credit:

     

Loan commitments

   $ 6,345    $ 6,160

Unadvanced construction loans

     8,264      5,486

Unadvanced lines of credit

     15,133      15,368

Standby letters of credit

     3,209      1,128

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held is primarily real property.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in a loan commitment.

Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these commitments.
