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 th e 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, 2010. These financial statements sho uld be read in conjunction with the 2009 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 28, 2009.
NOTE 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to Accounting Standard Codification 105-10, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This standard establishes the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB for nongovernmental entities. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods e nding after September 15, 2009. The Codification is a reorganization of existing U.S. GAAP and does not change existing U.S. GAAP. The Company adopted this standard during the third quarter of 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”, and SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” These standards are effective for the first interim reporting period of 2010. SFAS No. 166 amends the guidance in ASC 860 to eliminate the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”) and changes some of the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. SFAS No. 167 amends the consolidation guidance in ASC 810-10. Specifically, the amendments will (a) eliminate the exemption for QSPEs from the new guidance, (b) shift the determination of which ent erprise should consolidate a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to a current control approach, such that an entity that has both the power to make decisions and right to receive benefits or absorb losses that could potentially be significant, will consolidate a VIE, and (c) change when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a VIE. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value,” which updates ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The updated guidance clarifies that the fair value of a liability can be measured in relation to the quoted price of the liability when it trades as an asset in an active market, without adjusting the price for restrictions that prevent the sale of the liability. This guidance is effective beginning July 1, 2009. The guidance did not change the Company’s valuation techniques for measuring liabilities at fair value.
In June 2008, the FASB updated ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share.” The guidance concludes that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities that should be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior period earnings per share data presented must be adjusted retrospectively. The adoption of this update, effective July 1, 2009, did no t have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and earnings per share.
In February 2008, the FASB updated ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” This guidance clarifies 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 became effective July 1, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In December 2007, the FASB updated ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” The updated guidance will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under ASC 805, 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. ; ASC 805 applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after July 1, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. The ASU clarifies that certain embedded derivatives, such as those contained in certain securitizations, CDOs and structured notes, should be considered embedded credit derivatives subject to potential bifurcation and separate fair value accounting. The ASU allows any beneficial interest issued by a securitization vehicle to be accounted for under the fair value option at transition. At transition, the Company may elect to reclassify various debt securities (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) from held-to-maturity (HTM) or available-for-sale (AFS) to trading. The new rules are effective July 1, 2010. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of the changes to determine the population of instruments that may be classified to trading upon adoption.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The ASU requires disclosing the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and describing the reasons for the transfers. The disclosures are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASU 2010-06 as of January 1, 2010. The required disclosures are included in Note 11. Additionally, disclosures of the gross purchases, sales, issuances and settlements activity in the Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy will be required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.
NOTE 4 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share (EPS)
The Company has adopted the EPS guidance included in ASC 260-10. As presented below, basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings or loss 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009:
| | Three Months Ended | | | Three Months Ended | | | Nine Months Ended | | | Nine Months Ended | |

The Company had at March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, 24 and 29 individual investment securities, respectively, in which the fair value of the security was less than the amortized cost of the security. Management has the intent and ability to hold these securities until cost recovery occurs and considers these declines to be temporary.
Auction-rate trust preferred securities. At March 31, 2010, our auction-rate trust preferred securities (“ARP”) portfolio totaled $10.1 million, or 6.0% of total securities, all of which were classified as available-for-sale. Auction-rate trust preferred securities are a floating rate preferred stock, on which the dividend rate generally resets every 90 days based on an auction process to reflect the yield demand for the instruments by potential purchasers. At March 31, 2010, our investments in auction-rate trust preferred securities consisted of investments in four corporate issuers. These securities were originally purchased by the Company because they represented highly liquid, tax-preferred investments secured, in most cases, by preferred stock issued by high quality, investment grade companies (generally other financial institutions) (“collateral preferred shares”). The ARP shares, or certificates, purchased by the Company are Class A certificates, which, among other rights, entitle the holder to priority claim on dividends paid into the Trust holding the preferred shares.
In most cases, the trusts which issued the ARP certificates own various callable preferred shares of stock by a single entity. In addition to the call dates for redemption established by the collateral preferred shares, each trust has a maturity date upon which the trust itself will terminate. The value of the remaining collateral preferred shares is not guaranteed, and may be more or less than the stated par value of the collateral preferred shares, and is dependent on the market value of those collateral preferred shares on the date of the trust’s maturity.
The certificates issued by the trusts traded in an active, open auction market, with each individual trust establishing the frequency of its auctions, typically every 90 days (the “reset date”). The results of an auction would be the exchange of certificates, at par, between participants entering or exiting the market, and resetting of the yield to be earned by holders of the Class A certificates as well as the holders of other classes of trust certificates.
Beginning in February 2008, auctions for these securities began to fail when investors declined to bid on the securities. Four of the largest investment banks that make a market in these securities (Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, USB, AG and Morgan Stanley) declined to act as bidders of last resort, as they had in the past. The auction failures did not result in the loss of any principal value to the certificate holders, but prevented many sellers from exiting, or redeeming, their certificates at the reset date. These unsuccessful sellers were required to continue to hold the certificates until the next scheduled reset date. To compensate these unsuccessful sellers, the failed auctions triggered a penalty-rate feature which provided that owners of the Class A certificates were entitled to a higher portion of the dividends, and thus a higher yield, on the Class A certificates.
During this time, the Company attempted to divest itself of the ARPs, but was prevented from doing so due to the continued failure of the auction market. The Company continued to carry its investments at par value, despite the increased liquidity risk, because the credit strength of the issuers of the collateral preferred shares remained high, and the yield remained above-market.
On September 7, 2008, the U. S. Department of the Treasury placed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under conservatorship and assumed an equity position in these entities, which takes priority over both common and preferred stocks. Putnam Bank owns $4,000,000 in Freddie Mac auction-rate preferred securities and recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss totaling $3.95 million during the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008. The current book value of this investment as of March 31, 2010 was $46,000.
The turmoil in the financial markets caused the value of the underlying collateral preferred shares to decline dramatically. Market values for the ARPs from Merrill Lynch, the Company’s safekeeping agent, also declined, and the Company recorded a temporary impairment adjustment to the carrying value of the ARPs which are classified as available-for-sale. A temporary impairment reduces the carrying value of the investment security with an offsetting reduction in the capital accounts of the Company.
The Company had difficulty identifying market prices of comparable instruments for ARPs due to the inactive market. As a result, during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company modified its methodology for determining the fair value of the ARPs classified as Level 3, and used the quoted market values of the underlying collateral preferred shares, adjusted for the higher yield earned by the Company through the Class A certificates compared with the nominal rate available to a direct owner of the collateral preferred shares. The Company has recognized an improvement in the fair value as of March 31, 2010 on the ARPs, primarily due to the increased market valu es of the underlying collateral preferred shares.
The Company adopted the guidance in ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” in the second quarter of 2009. The Company concluded that the market value of the underlying collateral preferred shares did not represent orderly transactions and adopted the use of a discounted cash flow model to determine if there was any other-than-temporary impairment of its investments in the ARPs. The resulting discounted cash flow for each of ARP classified as Level 3 showed no impairment in the fair value of the securities.
The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities for the time necessary to collect the expected cash flows.
The chart below includes information as of March 31, 2010 on the various issuers of Auction Rate Preferred securities owned by the Company:
Issuer | | Goldman Sachs | | | Merrill Lynch | | | Bank of America | | | Freddie Mac | | | Freddie Mac | |

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. At March 31, 2010, the Company owned $8.1 million of Federal Home Loan Bank stock. The Company evaluated its investment in FHLB stock for other-than-temporary impairment as of March 31, 2010, consistent with its accounting policies. The regional banks within the Federal Home Loan Bank System have experienced higher levels of other-than-temporary impairment in their private label mortgage-backed securities and home equity loans, which has raised concerns about whether their capital levels could be reduced below regulatory requirements. In response to unprecedented market conditions and potential future losses, the FHLB has implemented an initiative to preserve capital by the adoption of a revised retained earnings target, declaration of a moratorium on excess stock repurchases and the suspension of cash dividend payments. The Company anticipates a decline in the dividend yield on its holdings in FHLB stock since the FHLB announced that dividend payments in 2009 and 2010 are unlikely. There can be no assurance that the impact of recent market conditions on the financial condition of the Federal Home Loan Banks or future legislation on the Federal Home Loan Banks will not cause a decrease in the value of FHLB stock held by the Bank. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the underlying investment, including the long-term nature of the investment, the liquidity position of the FHLB of Boston, the actions taken by the FHLB of Boston to address its regulatory capital situation and the Company’s inte nt and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to recover the par value, the Company has not recognized an other-than-temporary impairment loss. Standard and Poor’s rated the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston as AAA/Stable/A-1+ on December 9, 2009. Even though the Company did not recognize an other-than-temporary impairment loss during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, continued deterioration in the FHLB of Boston’s financial position may result in future impairment losses.

Total non-performing assets increased $5.1 million to $12.8 million at March 31, 2010 from $7.7 million at June 30, 2009. Non-performing assets as of March 31, 2010 consisted of $1.1 million in Other Real Estate Owned, which reflects the repossession of a six-lot residential development project at a carrying value of $303,000, a partially completed single family home within the same subdivision with a carrying value of $160,000 and 34 acres of land carried at $110,000, one single unit condominium at a carrying value of $163,000 and one in-substance foreclosure of a condominium project at a carrying value of $384,000, $46,000 in Freddie Mac auction-rate trust preferr ed securities and $11.6 million in non-performing loans. These loans consisted of five residential loans totaling $1.3 million, three commercial and industrial loans totaling $215,000 and 34 commercial real estate loans (22 of these are two loan relationships) totaling $10.1 million. The $6.2 million in past due 90 days or more and still accruing are four loan relationships that have matured as of March 31, 2010. These are in the process of being renewed and $5.8 million of these loans are current for interest payments. Non-performing assets as of June 30, 2009 consisted of $1.2 million in Other Real Estate Owned which reflects the repossession of one condominium development project, $46,000 in Freddie Mac auction-rate trust preferred securities and $6.4 million in non-performing loans. These loans consisted of four residential loans totaling $1.3 million, two commercial and industrial loans totaling $97,000 and 17 commercial real estate loan s totaling $5.1 million.
The Bank’s increase in non-performing loans is a direct correlation to the deteriorating real estate climate. Management is focused on working with borrowers and guarantors to resolve these trends by restructuring or liquidating assets when prudent. Many of our commercial relationships are secured by development loans, in particular condominiums which have experienced a significant reduction in demand. The Bank reviews the strength of the guarantors; requires face to face discussions and offers restructuring suggestions that provide the borrowers with short term relief and exit strategies. Overall, we expect to see improvement as solutions are identified and execute d. The Bank obtains a current appraisal on all real estate secured loans that are 180 days or more past due if the appraisal on file is older than one year. If the determination is made that there is the potential for collateral shortfall, an allocated reserve will be assigned to the loan for the expected deficiency. It is the policy of the Bank to charge off or write down loans or other assets when, in the opinion of the Credit Committee and Loan Review, the ultimate amount recoverable is less than the book value, or the collection of the amount is expected to be unduly prolonged. The level of non-performing assets is expected to fluctuate in response to changing economic and market conditions, and the relative sizes of the respective loan portfolios, along with management’s degree of success in resolving problem assets. Management takes a proactive approach with respect to the identification and resolution of problem loans. In addition, in connection with a regularly scheduled O ffice of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) examination, the Holding Company and Bank agreed to develop and implement a plan to reduce classified assets. See Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In accordance with ASC 820, 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 March 31, 2010.
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 and other debt 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 Company did not have any significant transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

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.
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 March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 of $71,000 and $74,000, respectively. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense in connection with the stock option and restricted stock awards for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 of $214,000 and $124,000, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, 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
The Company did not declare a dividend during the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
NOTE 14 – 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 nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 2009 Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 28, 2009.
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 exp ense, 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 Fred die 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 quarter ended December 31, 2008. The carrying value of the Freddie Mac APT certificates is now $46,000 as of March 31, 2010. On September 15, 2008, Lehma n 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 owned $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 March 31, 2009, the market value declined by an additional $75,000 and the Company recorded a non-cash OTTI charge of $75,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Both Lehman Brothers bonds were sold prior to June 30, 2009. These investments were rated investment grade by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s at the time of purchase.
The net interest margin decreased from 2.85% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 to 2.73% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as we experienced a $76,000 decrease in net interest and dividend income over the periods. In addition, noninterest expense increased $182,000 or 6.9% during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The provision for loan losses increased $100,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
The net interest margin decreased from 2.82% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 to 2.79% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, as we experienced a $211,000 decrease in net interest and dividend income over the periods. In addition, noninterest expense increased $1.1 million or 13.9% during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The provision for loan losses increased $10,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2009.
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 implie d 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 ASC 320-10 “Investments-Debt and Equity Securities”. The guidance addresses 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 ot her-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. Management evaluates the Company’s investment portfolio on an ongoing basis and determined that $1.9 million of investments were other-than-temporarily impaired and written down during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and $5.9 million of investments were other-than-temporarily impaired and written down during the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The loss on writedowns of securities included total other-than-temporary impairment losses of $5.3 million and $5.9 million, net of $3.4 million and $0 recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, before taxes.
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 March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009
Assets
Total assets increased to $495.1 million at March 31, 2010 from $477.3 million at June 30, 2009. Investments in available-for-sale securities decreased $61.5 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, and represented $103.4 million or 20.9% of total assets at March 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to $32.7 million in sales and $33.9 million in pay downs and maturities during the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Investments in held-to-maturity securities increased $64.2 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, and represented $66.2 million or 13.4% of total assets at March 31, 2010. This increase was due to new security purchases being classified as held-to-maturity because of the low interest rate environment and the intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. Net loans have decreased to $258.3 million at March 31, 2010 from $264.3 million at June 30, 2009 and now represent 52.2% of total assets. Included in other assets as of March 31, 2010 was $2.5 million in prepaid FDIC assessments.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The table below indicates the relationships between the allowance for loan losses, total loans outstanding and nonperforming loans at March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009. For additional information, see “Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 – Provision for loan losses.”
| | March 31, | | | June 30, | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
| | (Dollars in thousands) | |
Allowance for loan losses | | $ | 2,407 | | | $ | 2,200 | |
Gross loans outstanding | | | 260,734 | | | | 266,517 | |
Nonperforming loans | | | 11,645 | | | | 6,449 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Allowance/gross loans outstanding | | | 0.92 | % | | | 0.83 | % |
Allowance/nonperforming loans | | | 20.7 | % | | | 34.1 | % |
At March 31, 2010, despite the low ratio of the allowance to nonperforming loans, we believe that the allowance for loan loss was sufficient because of (i) our analysis of the collateral supporting non-performing loans and (ii) the fact that certain non-performing loans were in the process of being renewed as of March 31, 2010.
Past Due and Nonperforming Loans
The following table sets forth information regarding past due and non-performing loans:
| | March 31, | | | June 30, | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
| | (in thousands) | |
| | | | | | |
Past due 30 days through 89 days and accruing | | $ | 4,902 | | | $ | 3,445 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Past due 90 days or more and accruing | | $ | 6,226 | | | $ | - | |
| | | | | | | | |
Past due 90 days or more and nonaccruing | | $ | 5,419 | | | $ | 6,449 | |
The past due 90 days or more and still accruing are four loan relationships that have matured as of March 31, 2010. Two loan relationships that total $3.4 million are condominium development projects and are current for interest payments. One loan relationship totaling $2.4 million is a commercial building project that is current for interest payments. One loan relationship totaling $400,000 consists of five individual lots within a recreational park and is past due 50 days for interest. Management believes that a full recovery of principal and interest is expected on all four relationships.
Liabilities
Total liabilities decreased to $450.8 million at March 31, 2010 from $437.5 million at June 30, 2009. Total deposits increased to $327.5 million at March 31, 2010 from $308.1 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $19.4 million or 6.3%. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased to $102.5 million at March 31, 2010 from $120.5 million at June 30, 2009, a decrease of $18.0 million or 14.9%. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased to $12.6 million at March 31, 2010 from $4.5 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $8.1 million or 182.6 %.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity increased to $44.3 million at March 31, 2010 from $39.9 million at June 30, 2009, primarily due to net income of $1.2 million and a reduction in other comprehensive loss of $3.1 million.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
Net Income (Loss)
Net income amounted to $251,000 or $.04 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to net income of $712,000 or $.11 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in net income reflected an OTTI charge of $938,000 recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to $75,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Net interest and dividend income decreased by $76,000 and the provision for loan losses increased by $100,000. Net gains on sales of securities increased by $484,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Noninterest expense increased by $182,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Net income amounted to $1.2 million or $.19 per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to a net loss of $1.3 million or $.21 per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in net income was primarily due to a decrease in other-than-temporarily impaired investment write-downs of $4.0 million recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 of $1.9 million compared to $5.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Net interest and dividend income decreased $211,000, the provision for loan losses increased $10,000, net gains on sale of securities increased $1.3 million and nonint erest expense increased $1.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Income tax expense increased $1.3 million to $348,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to a tax benefit of $998,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.
Interest and Dividend Income
Interest and dividend income amounted to $5.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $6.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $774,000 or 12.5%. This was primarily due to a decrease in yield on earning assets of 81 basis points to 4.87% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to 5.68% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Average investment securities decreased $18.8 million to $164.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to $183.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. This was partially offset by an increase in average loans of $8.7 million to $263.4 million for the quarter e nded March 31, 2010 compared to $254.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in yield was due to a decrease in yield on loans of 16 basis points to 5.55% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to 5.71% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The yield on investment securities decreased 129 basis points to 4.48% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to 5.77% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
Interest and dividend income amounted to $17.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $19.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $2.0 million or 10.5%. This was primarily due to a decrease in yield on earning assets of 54 basis points to 5.12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to 5.66% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Average investment securities decreased $32.3 million to $166.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $198.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. This was partially offset by an increase in average loans of $15.1 million to $266.3 mi llion for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $251.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in yield was due to a decrease in yield on loans of 30 basis points to 5.55% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to 5.85% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The yield on investment securities decreased 60 basis points to 4.90% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to 5.50% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.
Interest Expense
Interest expense amounted to $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $698,000 or 22.6%. The decrease was primarily due to a change in rates of interest-bearing liabilities. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 72 basis points to 2.40% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 from 3.12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased by 73 basis points to 1.93% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to 2.66% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The average rate on borrowed money de creased by 41 basis points to 3.58% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to 3.99% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
Interest expense amounted to $7.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $9.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $1.8 million or 18.8%. The decrease was primarily due to a change in rates of interest-bearing liabilities. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 59 basis points to 2.61% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from 3.20% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased by 63 basis points to 2.13% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to 2.76% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The avera ge rate on borrowed money decreased by 17 basis points to 3.76% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to 3.93% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.
Net Interest and Dividend Income
Net interest and dividend income amounted to $3.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $76,000 or 2.4%. Net interest spread decreased by eight basis points to 2.47% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 from 2.55% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Net interest margin decreased 12 basis points to 2.73% as compared to 2.85% when comparing the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Net interest and dividend income amounted to $9.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $9.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $211,000 or 2.2%. Net interest spread increased five basis points to 2.51% as compared to 2.46% and net interest margin decreased three basis points to 2.79% as compared to 2.82% when comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
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.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses amounted to $257,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $157,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $100,000 or 63.7%. The provision for loan losses amounted to $764,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $754,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $10,000 or 1.3%. 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 0.92% as of March 31, 2010 compared to 0.83% as of June 30, 2009. Net charge-offs were $57,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to $25,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Net charge-offs were $557,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $492,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The ratio of the allowance to nonperforming loans was 20.7% as of March 31, 2010 compared to 34.1% as of June 30, 2009. Management believes that the nonperforming loans will not have a material effect on the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
Noninterest Income (Charge)
Noninterest income totaled $350,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to $727,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $377,000 or 51.9%. The decrease was primarily due to write-downs of investments of $938,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to $75,000 of investment write-downs for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The impairment charges for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 consisted of private label CMOs. The impairment charges for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 consisted of Lehman Brothers corporate debt. This was partially offset by an increase in net gains on securities sales of $484,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Noninterest income totaled $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to noninterest charges of $3.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. This was primarily due to write-downs of investments of $5.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1.9 million of investment write-downs for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The impairment charges for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 consisted of private label CMOs and Freddie Mac ARPs. The impairment charges for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 consisted of Lehman Brothers corporate debt. Net gains on sales of investments increased $1 .3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense amounted to $2.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $182,000 or 6.9%. Compensation and benefits expense increased $17,000 or 1.2%. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $6,000 or 1.9%. Other noninterest expenses increased $171,000 or 20.1% to $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to $852,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to an increase in FDIC assessments of $147,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, described below.
Noninterest expense amounted to $8.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $7.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $1.1 million or 13.9%. Compensation and benefits expense increased $76,000 or 1.7%. This increase was primarily due to a change in employee stock award expense due to forfeitures recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $57,000 or 6.6% due primarily to increased depreciation expense. This increase includes expenses related to the opening of the Bank’s new branch in Norwich, CT in September 2009. Other noninterest expenses increased $956,000 or 37.8% to $3.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $2.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to other real estate owned write-downs of $321,000 on a property sold in October 2009, an increase in FDIC assessments of $398,000 and $172,000 in prepayment penalties on $18.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, with a weighted average rate of 4.71%, paid off prior to maturity during the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax expense amounted to $52,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to $326,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Income tax expense amounted to $348,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to a tax benefit of $998,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.
Average Balance Sheets
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 ou r 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-term s; (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 (+100 and +200 basis points) at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009.

Change in Interest Rates | | in NII | | | in NII | |
(Basis Points) | | December 31, 2009 | | | June 30, 2009 | |

| | | | | | |
+ 100 | | -0.89% | | | -1.50% | |
+ 200 | | -3.06% | | | -4.14% | |
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 December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010.
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 sensitivit y 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 Supervi sion 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 December 31, 2009, 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 posi tion between December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010.

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 base d on eligible collateral of loans and securities. The Bank had Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston borrowings as of March 31, 2010 of $102.5 million with unused borrowing capacity of $24.9.million. The Bank has an internal limit of wholesale borrowings to total assets ratio of 40.0%. As of March 31, 2010, the ratio of wholesale borrowings to total assets was 21.0%.
The Bank’s primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities. During the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Bank’s net loan principal (collections) originations were ($3.5) million and $18.6 million, respectively. Purchases of securities totaled $63.5 million and $7.1 million, for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Loan repayments 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 me et its current funding commitments.
Certificates of deposits totaled $143.3 million at March 31, 2010. 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 March 31, 2010 and exceeded each of the applicable regulatory capital requirements at such date.
| | Required | | | Actual | |
| | | | | | |
Ratio of Tier 1 Capital to total assets | | | 4 | % | | | 6.91 | % |
Ratio of Total Risk Based Capital to risk-weighted assets | | | 8 | % | | | 12.87 | % |

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 nine months ended March 31, 2010, 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.
