Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – Organization
PSB Holdings, Inc. (Company) is a federally chartered holding company formed on May 27, 2003 for the purpose of acquiring all of the common stock of Putnam Bank (formerly known as Putnam Savings Bank until its name change effective November 2, 2007) (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 issued 6,943,125 shares of common stock, 3,729,846 shares (53.7%) of which were issued to Putnam Bancorp, MHC and 3,089,691 shares (44.5%) of which were sold to eligible depositors of the Bank and others at $10.00 per share. In addition, the Company issued 123,588 shares (1.8%) to a charitable foundation established by the Bank.
NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q, and accordingly do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary, consisting of only normal recurring accruals and the elimination of all significant intercompany accounts, to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. In preparing the interim financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes 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 foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in Connecticut. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for future periods, including the year ending June 30, 2009. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2008 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 23, 2008.
NOTE 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” on October 1, 2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for tax contingencies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 5, Accounting for Contingencies. As required by Interpretation 48, which clarifies Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply.
The Company applied Interpretation 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. The adoption of Interpretation 48 did not have a material impact on the results of operation or financial condition of the Company.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. See Note 11 for further information.
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 APB No. 12 based on the substantive agreement with the employee. If the employer 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’s adoption of EITF Issue 06-4 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
During the first quarter of 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” “SFAS 159”, which permits entities to choose and measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 as of July 1, 2008. The Company did not elect fair value treatment for any financial assets or liabilities upon adoption. See Note 11 for further information.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2008), “Business Combinations” “SFAS 141(R)”. SFAS 141(R) will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. It also amends the accounting treatment for certain specific items including acquisition costs and non controlling minority interests and includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after July 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial condition and results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements and Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS No. 160”). The new pronouncement requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries as a component of stockholders’ equity. SFAS No. 160 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. Management does not anticipate that this statement will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 140-3, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions.” This FSP provides guidance on how the transferor and transferee should separately account for a transfer of a financial asset and a related repurchase financing if certain criteria are met. This guidance will be effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of this new FSP is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” SFAS 161. SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial condition and results of operations.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” This FSP provides guidance as to factors considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This guidance will be effective January 1, 2009. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This standard formalizes minor changes in prioritizing accounting principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. This standard became effective November 18, 2008.
NOTE 4 – Earnings Per Share
As presented, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. For purposes of computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method is used.
The following information was used in the computation of EPS on both a basic and diluted basis for the three months ended and six months ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted “SFAS 157”, Fair Value Measurements, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company also adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company did not elect fair value treatment for any financial assets or liabilities upon adoption.
In accordance with SFAS 157, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 1 also includes U.S. Treasury, other U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets and liabilities.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value for December 31, 2008.
The Company’s cash instruments are generally classified within level 1 or level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.
The Company’s investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale are generally classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For these securities, we obtain fair value measurements from independent pricing services. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.
Level 3 is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Subsequent to inception, management only changes level 3 inputs and assumptions when corroborated by evidence such as transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalization and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows.
The Company’s impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using level 2 inputs based upon appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party.
The following summarizes assets measured at fair value for the period ending December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

NOTE 12 – 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.
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.
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 granted to date 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) “Accounting for Stock Options and Other Stock Based Compensation”, 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 expense related to unearned restricted shares is 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. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense in connection with the stock option and restricted stock awards for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 of $46,000 and $80,000, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2008, a reduction of $28,000 was recorded in stock award expense due to forfeitures. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense in connection with the stock option and restricted stock awards for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 of $50,000 and $217,000, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2008, a reduction of $101,000 was recorded in stock award expense due to forfeitures.
The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted on November 7, 2005, June 7, 2006 and May 25, 2007 using the Black-Scholes option pricing method was $2.00 per share, $1.97 per share and $1.84 per share, respectively. Assumptions used to determine the weighted-average fair value of stock options granted were as follows:
| | November 7, 2005 | | | June 7, 2006 | | | May 25, 2007 | |
| | Grant | | | Grant | | | Grant | |
Dividend yield | | | 1.89 | % | | | 2.23 | % | | | 2.24 | % |
Expected volatility | | | 12.65 | % | | | 12.17 | % | | | 11.04 | % |
Risk-free rate | | | 4.56 | % | | | 4.95 | % | | | 4.86 | % |
Expected life in years | | | 6.5 | | | | 6.5 | | | | 6.5 | |
Fair value | | $ | 2.00 | | | $ | 1.97 | | | $ | 1.84 | |
NOTE 13 – Dividends
On December 3, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.09 a share for stockholders of record as of January 2, 2009 and payable on January 16, 2009. Putnam Bancorp, MHC, the mutual holding company, was paid its portion of the dividend declared by the Company. It is expected that Putnam Bancorp, MHC will receive future dividends until such time as the Office of Thrift Supervision grants a waiver of such payments.
NOTE 14 – Commitments to Extend Credit
The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following analysis discusses changes in the financial condition and results of operations at and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2008 Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC on September 23, 2008.
The year-end condensed balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identified by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and its subsidiary include, but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic conditions, legislation and regulations, real estate values, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in the Company’s market area and accounting principles and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Further information concerning the Company and its business, including additional factors that could materially affect the Company’s financial results, is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Except as required by applicable law and regulation, the Company does not undertake – and specifically disclaims any obligation – to publicly release the results of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Overview
The Company’s results of operation 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.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the U.S. Treasury announced a plan to place the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) under conservatorship under the authority of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The actions of the U.S. Government adversely impacted the value of the preferred stock of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Bank owns $4.0 million of Freddie Mac auction pass-through certificates (APT) issued by trusts sponsored by Merrill Lynch. The results of this action, along with general concern in the market about the future value of Freddie Mac preferred stock, have caused the values for the APT certificates to decrease materially. The Company had recorded a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charge of $3.7 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2008. On October 29, 2008, the U.S. Treasury clarified that ordinary loss treatment applies to these Freddie Mac APT certificates. As an ordinary loss, under generally accepted accounting principles banks may not record the effect of this tax change in their balance sheets and income statements for financial and regulatory purposes until the period in which the law was enacted, i.e., the fourth quarter of 2008. During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the market value declined by an additional $274,000 and the Company recorded a non-cash OTTI charge of $274,000 during the current quarter. The carrying value of the Freddie Mac APT certificates is now $46,000 as of December 31, 2008. On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("LBHI") filed a petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. This action has adversely impacted the value of Lehman Brothers corporate debt. The Bank owns $2.0 million of this corporate debt. The Company had recorded an OTTI charge of $1.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2008. During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the market value declined by an additional $30,000 and the Company recorded a non-cash OTTI charge of $30,000 during the current quarter. The carrying value of the Lehman Brothers corporate debt is $170,000 as of December 31, 2008. At this time it is unclear when and if the values of both these investments will recover in the future. Both of these investments were rated investment grade by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s at the time of purchase.
The net interest margin increased from 2.47% for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 to 2.91% for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. This resulted in an $418,000 increase in net interest and dividend income over the periods. In addition, noninterest expense decreased $129,000 or 4.7% during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2007. The provision for loan losses increased $288,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2007.
The net interest margin increased from 2.43% for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to 2.81% for the six months ended December 31, 2008. This resulted in an $816,000 increase in net interest and dividend income over the periods. In addition, noninterest expense decreased $350,000 or 6.3% during the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2007. The provision for loan losses increased $550,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assumptions by management 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, goodwill and the impairment of securities.
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. For the general allocations, 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, historical loan charge offs, 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. 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 implied fair value.
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Securities. Management periodically reviews all investment securities with significant declines in fair value for potential other-than-temporary impairment pursuant to the guidance provided by SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”. In November 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”. The FSP addressed the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other-than-temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. It also included accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The guidance in this FSP amended SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, SFAS No. 124”, “Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations”, and APB Opinion 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”. Management evaluates the Company’s investment portfolio on an ongoing basis and determined that $6 million of investments were other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2008 and was written-down by $5.5 million as of the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and an additional write-down of $304,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2008, resulting in a charge to income of the same amounts. There were no other-than-temporarily impaired investments as of December 31, 2007.
Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008
Assets
Total assets decreased to $479.7 million at December 31, 2008 from $494.5 million at June 30, 2008. Investments in securities decreased $29.9 million during the six months ended December 31, 2008, and represented $190.1 million or 39.6% of total assets at December 31, 2008. Net loans have continued to grow to $248.2 million at December 31, 2008 from $242.7 million at June 30, 2008 and now represent 51.7% of total assets. Cash flows from the investment portfolio have been used to fund this loan growth.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The table below indicates the relationships between the allowance for loan losses, total loans outstanding and nonperforming loans at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008.
| | December 31, | | | June 30, | |

Past due 90 days or more and nonaccruing | | $ | 1,775 | | | $ | 982 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Liabilities
Total liabilities decreased to $443.0 million at December 31, 2008 from $445.1 million at June 30, 2008. Total deposits increased to $292.2 million at December 31, 2008 from $283.7 million at June 30, 2008, an increase of $8.5 million or 3.0%. Borrowed funds decreased to $146.8 million at December 31, 2008 from $156.6 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $9.8 million or 6.3%.
Stockholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity decreased to $36.7 million at December 31, 2008 from $49.4 million at June 30, 2008, primarily due to the net loss of $2.0 million and an increase in other comprehensive loss of $10.4 million. Included in this increase in other comprehensive loss is the change from carrying the Company’s Auction-rate Preferred securities at par to a market value provided by Merrill Lynch. The unrealized losses on these securities are not necessarily predictive of the ultimate performance of the underlying collateral, which are all performing.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
Net (Loss) Income
Net income amounted to $2.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 compared to net income of $685,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. This was primarily attributable to the tax benefit recognized in the current quarter mentioned above in the Overview and an increase in net interest and dividend income of $418,000 and a decrease in noninterest expense of $129,000. The Company had an additional impairment charge on the Freddie Mac and Lehman Brothers investments of $304,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The provision for loan losses increased by $288,000.
The net loss amounted to $2.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to net income of $1.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in net income reflected an OTTI charge on investments of $5.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008. This was partially offset by an increase in net interest and dividend income of $816,000 and a decrease in noninterest expense of $350,000 and a decrease in income tax expense of $1.7 million. The provision for loan losses increased by $550,000.
Interest and Dividend Income
Interest and dividend income amounted to $6.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $6.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $362,000 or 5.2%. The decrease in yield on loans had the greatest impact on interest income when comparing the quarters. The yield on loans decreased 48 basis points. This was partially offset by an increase in average loan balances of $12.1 million when comparing the quarters ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Average investment securities decreased $22.6 million and the yield increased 22 basis points. Average other earning assets decreased $2.9 million and the yield decreased by 433 basis points when comparing the quarters ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The decrease in yield is due to reductions in short-term rates implemented by the Federal Open Market Committee since December 31, 2007.
Interest and dividend income amounted to $13.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $13.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $635,000 or 4.6%. The decrease in yield on loans had the greatest impact on interest income when comparing these time periods. The yield on loans decreased 50 basis points. This was partially offset by an increase in average loan balances of $10.9 million when comparing the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Average investment securities decreased $13.7 million and the yield increased six basis points. Included in the change in investment security yields for the six months ended December 31, 2008 was the accrued interest and dividend income reversed on the Freddie Mac Auction Rate Preferred and Lehman Brothers investments that were written down. Average other earning assets decreased $963,000 and the yield decreased by 351 basis points when comparing the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The decrease in yield is due to reductions in short-term rates implemented by the Federal Open Market Committee since December 31, 2007.
Interest Expense
Interest expense amounted to $3.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $4.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $780,000 or 19.4%. The decrease in rates on interest-bearing liabilities had the greatest impact on interest expense. The average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 84 basis points during the periods. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits grew by $3.0 million, and the average rate paid decreased by 79 basis points when comparing the quarters ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The average balance of borrowed money increased by $3.9 million, and the average rate paid decreased by 93 basis points when comparing the quarters ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Average brokered deposits decreased $5.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2007. We replaced brokered deposits with Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLBB) advances, which were significantly lower in cost than the brokered deposits.
Interest expense amounted to $6.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $8.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $1.5 million or 18.1%. The decrease in rates on interest-bearing liabilities had the greatest impact on interest expense. The average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 80 basis points during the periods. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits grew by $2.0 million, and the average rate paid decreased by 71 basis points when comparing the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The average balance of borrowed money increased by $6.9 million, and the average rate paid decreased by 98 basis points when comparing the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Average brokered deposits decreased $6.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2007. We replaced brokered deposits with Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLBB) advances, which were significantly lower in cost than the brokered deposits.
Net Interest and Dividend Income
Net interest and dividend income amounted to $3.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $2.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $418,000 or 14.5%. Net interest spread increased 69 basis points to 2.57% as compared to 1.88% and net interest margin increased 44 basis points to 2.91% as compared to 2.47% when comparing the quarters ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Net interest and dividend income amounted to $6.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $5.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $816,000 or 14.4%. Net interest spread increased 58 basis points to 2.43% as compared to 1.85% and net interest margin increased 38 basis points to 2.81% as compared to 2.43% when comparing the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Due to the large portion of fixed rate loans and securities in the Company’s asset portfolio, interest rate risk is a concern and the Company continues to monitor and adjust the asset and liability mix as much as possible to take advantage of the benefits and reduce the risks or potential negative effects of a rising rate environment. Management attempts to mitigate the interest rate risk through balance sheet composition. One strategy has been to extend out FHLBB advance maturities and take advantage of relatively low cost funding.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses amounted to $323,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and $35,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. This increase in the level of provision was primarily a result of a single commercial loan charge-off of $400,000 during the period ended December 31, 2008. The balance of this loan was transferred to Other Real Estate Owned as of December 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s estimate of the probable losses inherent in the portfolio, considering the impact of certain factors. Among the factors management may consider are prior loss experience, current economic conditions and their effects on borrowers, the character and size of the portfolio, trends in nonperforming loans and delinquency rates and the performance of individual loans in relation to contractual terms. The provision for loan losses reflects adjustments to the allowance based on management’s review of the portfolio in light of those conditions. The ratio of the allowance to gross loans outstanding was 0.76% as of December 31, 2008 compared to 0.72% as of June 30, 2008. Net charge-offs were $431,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.
The provision for loan losses amounted to $597,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and $47,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. This increase in the level of provision was primarily a result of the single commercial loan charge-off described above. The ratio of the allowance to gross loans outstanding was 0.76% as of December 31, 2008 compared to 0.72% as of June 30, 2008. Net charge-offs were $467,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008.
Noninterest Income (Charge)
Noninterest income amounted to $598,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 as compared to noninterest income of $782,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $184,000 or 23.5%. This decrease was primarily due to OTTI investment write-downs of $304,000. The write-downs included $274,000 in Freddie Mac pass-through auction-rate securities issued by trusts consisting solely of Freddie Mac preferred stock and $30,000 in Lehman Brothers corporate debt. The current carrying values as of December 31, 2008 of the Freddie Mac auction-rate securities and Lehman Brothers corporate debt was $46,000 and $170,000, respectively. This decrease in the quarter ended December 31, 2008 was partially offset by increased BOLI income.
Noninterest charge amounted to $4.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to noninterest income of $1.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $5.6 million or 368.4%. This decrease was primarily due to OTTI investment write-downs of $5.8 million. The write-downs included $3.95 million in Freddie Mac pass-through auction-rate securities issued by trusts consisting solely of Freddie Mac preferred stock and $1.83 million in Lehman Brothers corporate debt. The current carrying values as of December 31, 2008 of the Freddie Mac auction-rate securities and Lehman Brothers corporate debt was $46,000 and $170,000, respectively. This decrease in the six months ended December 31, 2008 was partially offset by increased BOLI income and service fees.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense amounted to $2.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $2.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $129,000 or 4.7%. Compensation and benefits expense increased $1,000 or 0.1%. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $18,000 or 6.2% due primarily to lower depreciation expense. Data processing, advertising & marketing and other noninterest expense decreased $112,000 or 11.7% primarily due to decreases in data processing, Director stock award expense, and legal expense. This was partially offset by increases in FDIC assessments and item processing expenses.
Noninterest expense amounted to $5.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $5.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $350,000 or 6.3%. Compensation and benefits expense decreased $38,000 or 1.3%. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in employee stock award expense due to forfeitures. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in salary expense. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $37,000 or 6.4% due primarily to lower depreciation expense. Data processing, advertising & marketing and other noninterest expense decreased $275,000 or 14.1% primarily due to decreases in data processing, Director stock awards, postage expense and item processing expense. This was partially offset by increases in FDIC assessments and miscellaneous expenses.
Provision for Income Taxes
The income tax benefit amounted to $1.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $200,000 in income tax expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. This benefit was due to the “other-than-temporary impairment” charge of $3.95 million of Freddie Mac pass-through auction rate securities owned by the Bank recognized primarily during the quarter ended September 30, 2008. On October 29, 2008, the U.S. Treasury clarified that ordinary loss treatment applies to these Freddie Mac APT certificates. As an ordinary loss, under generally accepted accounting principles companies could not record the effect of this tax change in their balance sheets and income statements for financial and regulatory purposes until the period in which the law was enacted, i.e., the fourth quarter of 2008.
The income tax benefit amounted to $1.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $372,000 in income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2007. This benefit was due to the “other-than-temporary impairment” charges of $1.83 million against the Lehman Brothers securities and the $3.95 million of Freddie Mac pass-through auction rate securities owned by the Bank.
Average Balance Sheet
The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense. Yields and costs are annualized.

Market Risk, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Market Risk
The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk (“IRR”). Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and other borrowings. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage IRR and reduce the exposure of our net interest income (“NII”) to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee which is responsible for evaluating the IRR inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. With the assistance of an IRR management consultant, the committee monitors the level of IRR on a regular basis and generally meets at least on a quarterly basis to review our asset/liability policies and IRR position.
We have sought to manage our IRR in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. As part of our ongoing asset/liability management, we currently use the following strategies to manage our IRR: (i) using alternative funding sources, such as advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, to “match fund” certain investments and/or loans; (ii) continued emphasis on increasing core deposits; (iii) offering adjustable rate and shorter-term home equity loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans and commercial and industrial loans; (iv) offering a variety of consumer loans, which typically have shorter-terms; (v) investing in mortgage-backed securities with variable rates or fixed rates with shorter durations. Shortening the average maturity of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter-term loans and securities, as well as loans and securities with variable rates of interest, helps to better match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities, thereby reducing the exposure of our NII to changes in market interest rates.
Net interest income at-risk measures the risk of a decline in earnings due to potential short-term and long term changes in interest rates. The table below represents an analysis of our IRR as measured by the estimated changes in NII, resulting from an instantaneous and sustained parallel shift in the yield curve (+200 and -200 basis points) at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008.

(Basis Points) | | September 30, 2008 | | June 30, 2008 |
| | | | |
- 100 | | 2.41% | | 1.17% |
Stable | | | | |
+ 200 | | -12.19% | | -7.48% |
The preceding income simulation analysis does not represent a forecast of NII and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions, which are subject to change, including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including the yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows, and others. Also, as market conditions vary prepayment/refinancing levels will likely deviate from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate changes on caps and floors embedded in adjustable rate loans, early withdrawal of deposits, changes in product preferences, and other internal/external variables. We do not believe that there has been a material change in our NII position between September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008.
Net Portfolio Value Simulation Analysis. The Office of Thrift Supervision requires the computation of amounts by which the net present value of an institution’s cash flow from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items (the institution’s net portfolio value or “NPV”) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The Office of Thrift Supervision provides all institutions that file a Consolidated Maturity/Rate Schedule as a part of their quarterly Thrift Financial Report an interest rate sensitivity report of net portfolio value. The Office of Thrift Supervision simulation model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measuring the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value. Historically, the Office of Thrift Supervision model estimated the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance sheet contract under the assumption that the United States Treasury yield curve increases or decreases instantaneously by 100 to 300 basis point increments. However, given the current low level of market interest rates, we did not prepare a net portfolio value calculation for an interest rate decrease of greater than 100 basis points. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 200 basis points equals two percent, an increase in interest rates from 3% to 5% would mean, for example, a 200 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below. The Office of Thrift Supervision provides us the results of the interest rate sensitivity model, which is based on information we provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision to estimate the sensitivity of our net portfolio value.
The tables below set forth, at September 30, 2008, indicated the estimated changes in our net portfolio value that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the United States Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. This data is for Putnam Bank only and does not include any yield curve changes in the assets of PSB Holdings, Inc. We do not believe that there has been a material change in our NPV position between September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008.

Liquidity
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 of Boston borrowings. The Bank can borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston based on eligible collateral of loans and securities. The Bank had Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston borrowings as of December 31, 2008 of $142.7 million with unused borrowing capacity of $57.5 million. The Bank had no brokered certificates of deposits as of December 31, 2008. The Bank has an internal limit of wholesale borrowings to total assets ratio of 40.0%. As of December 31, 2008, the ratio of wholesale borrowings to total assets was 29.9%.
The Bank’s primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities. During the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Bank originated loans for the portfolio net of principal payments of $7.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively. Purchases of securities totaled $5.1 million and $45.0 million, for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 deposits totaled $157.6 million at December 31, 2008. 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.
The Bank was well capitalized at December 31, 2008 and exceeded each of the applicable regulatory capital requirements at such date.
| | Required | | | Actual | |
| | | | | | |
Ratio of Tier 1 Capital to total assets | | 4% | | | 7.98% | |
Ratio of Total Risk Based Capital to risk-weighted assets | 8% | | | 15.57% | |
Ratio of Tier 1 Risk Based Capital to risk-weighted assets | 4% | | | 14.86% | |

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.

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 quarter ended December 31, 2008, 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.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and in timely altering them to material information relating to the Company (or its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be filed in its periodic SEC filings.
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in connection with the quarterly evaluation that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings – Not applicable
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The risks set forth below, in addition to the other risks described in this quarterly report, represent material changes from those risk factors previously disclosed the Company’s previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition to the risks set forth below and the other risks described in this quarterly report, there may also be additional risks and uncertainties that are not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. As a result, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Further, to the extent that any of the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitutes forward-looking statements, the risk factors set forth below also are cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us.
Recent Legislation in Response to Market and Economic Conditions May Significantly Affect Our Operations, Financial Condition, and Earnings.
Instability and volatility in the credit markets has led to the adoption of legislation and regulatory actions which have the potential to significantly affect financial institutions and holding companies, including us. Under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), the U.S. Department of the Treasury has the authority to expend up to $700 billion to assist in stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial system. Although it was originally contemplated that these funds would be used primarily to purchase troubled assets under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”), on October 14, 2008, the Treasury announced the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) under which it will purchase up to $250 billion of non-voting senior preferred shares of certain qualified financial institutions in an attempt to encourage U.S. financial institutions to build capital to increase the flow of financing to U.S. businesses and consumers and to support the U.S. economy. In addition, Congress has temporarily increased FDIC deposit insurance from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor through December 31, 2009. The FDIC has also announced the creation of the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”) which is intended to strengthen confidence and encourage liquidity in the U.S. financial institutions by temporarily guaranteeing newly issued senior unsecured debt of participating organizations and providing full coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts (such as business checking accounts, interest-bearing transaction accounts paying 50 basis points or less and lawyers’ trust accounts), regardless of dollar amount until December 31, 2009.
We can provide no assurances that these actions will have the beneficial effects that are intended, particularly with respect to the extreme levels of volatility and limited credit availability currently being experienced. These new laws, regulations, and changes will increase our FDIC insurance premiums and may also increase our costs of regulatory compliance and of doing business, and otherwise affect our operations. At this time, we cannot fully determine the extent of these effects, or any other effects, on us caused by these and future laws and regulations. However, they may significantly affect the markets in which we do business, the markets for and value of our investments, and our ongoing operations, costs and profitability.
Lack of Consumer Confidence in Financial Institutions May Decrease Our Level of Deposits.
Our level of deposits may be affected by lack of consumer confidence in financial institutions, which have caused fewer depositors to be willing to maintain deposits that are not FDIC-insured accounts. That may cause depositors to withdraw deposits and place them in other institutions or to invest uninsured funds in investments perceived as being more secure, such as securities issued by the United States Treasury. These consumer preferences may cause us to be forced to pay higher interest rates to retain deposits and may constrain liquidity as we seek to meet funding needs caused by reduced deposit levels.
Future Legislative or Regulatory Actions Responding to Perceived Financial and Market Problems Could Impair Our Rights Against Borrowers.
There have been proposals made by members of Congress and others that would reduce the amount distressed borrowers are otherwise contractually obligated to pay under their mortgage loans and limit an institution’s ability to foreclose on mortgage collateral. Were proposals such as these, or other proposals limiting our rights as a creditor, to be implemented, we could experience increased credit losses or increased expense in pursuing our remedies as a creditor.
