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. See “Market Risk, Liquidity and Capital Resources – Market Risk.”
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses amounted to $218,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $257,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $39,000 or 15.2%. The provision for loan losses amounted to $660,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $764,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $104,000 or 13.6%. 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 1.10% as of March 31, 2011 compared to 1.03% as of June 30, 2010. Net recoveries were $14,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to net charge-offs of $57,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Net charge-offs were $492,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $557,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The ratio of the allowance to nonperforming loans was 61.0% as of March 31, 2011 compared to 42.1% as of June 30, 2010. Management believes that the nonperforming loans will not have a material effect on the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $976,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $350,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $626,000 or 178.9%. The increase was primarily due to a $420,000 legal settlement, a decrease in write-downs of investments of $854,000 or 91.0% to $84,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $938,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The impairment charges for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 consisted of private label CMOs.

The impairment charges for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 consisted of private label CMOs.

Service fee income decreased $165,000 or 9.6% to $1.56 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1.72 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

Compensation and benefits expense decreased $113,000 or 2.5%. This was due to decreases in medical insurance expense of $32,000, employee stock award expense of $60,000 and salary expense of $25,000. Occupancy expense increased $57,000 or 6.2%. Other noninterest expenses decreased $371,000 or 10.6% to $3.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $3.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in other real estate owned write-downs of $226,000 and prepayment penalties on borrowings of $146,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax expense amounted to $190,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $52,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Income tax expense amounted to $370,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $348,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
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.

The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

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 (+100 and +200 basis points) at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010.
Net Interest Income At-Risk | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | Estimated Increase (Decrease) | | | Estimated Increase (Decrease) | |
Change in Interest Rates | | | in NII | | | in NII | |
(Basis Points) | | | December 31, 2010 | | | June 30, 2010 | |
| | | | | | | |
| + 100 | | | | -2.50 | % | | | -1.25 | % |
| + 200 | | | | -6.30 | % | | | -4.59 | % |
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, 2010 and March 31, 2011.
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 December 31, 2010, 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 December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011.

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 March 31, 2011 of $88.5 million with unused borrowing capacity of $55.5 million. The Bank has an internal limit of wholesale borrowings to total assets ratio of 40.0%. As of March 31, 2011, the ratio of wholesale borrowings to total assets was 18.6%.
The Bank’s primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities. During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Bank’s loan originations net of principal collections were $597,000 and $4.3 million, respectively. Purchases of securities totaled $81.7 million and $63.5 million, for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 meet its current funding commitments.
Certificates of deposits totaled $142.4 million at March 31, 2011. 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 with certainty 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, 2011 and exceeded each of the applicable regulatory capital requirements at such date.

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, 2011, 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.
