FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES - The allowance for loan losses is calculated with the objective of maintaining a reserve sufficient to absorb estimated probable loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes loan balances are uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires an estimate of the loss content for each risk rating and for each impaired loan, an estimate of the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows and an estimate of the value of collateral. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting principal and interest payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures. ACCOUNTING FOR GOODWILL -- Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142), which changes the Corporation's accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets. Generally, intangible assets that meet certain criteria are recognized and subsequently amortized over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. However, such assets are tested for impairment at adoption of SFAS 142 and at least annually thereafter. No impairment loss was recorded upon the adoption of SFAS 142 in 2002, nor was any impairment loss was recorded in 2003, 2004 or to date in 2005. 3 PSB GROUP. INC.

Non-performing assets consists of non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 or more days, restructured loans and real estate that has been acquired in full or partial satisfaction of loan obligations or upon foreclosure. As of September 30, 2005, other real estate owned consisted of two properties. Management does not anticipate any material loss as the result of the disposal of these properties. Non-performing loans have decreased $1,349 thousand, or 37% since December 31, 2004.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW PSB Group, Inc. (the "Company") was formed on February 28, 2003 as a bank holding company for the purpose of owning Peoples State Bank (the "Bank") pursuant to a plan of reorganization adopted by the Bank and its shareholders. Pursuant to the reorganization, each share of Peoples State Bank stock held by existing shareholders of the Bank was exchanged for three shares of common stock of PSB Group, Inc. The reorganization had no consolidated financial statement impact. Share amounts for all prior periods presented have been restated to reflect the reorganization. The Bank was incorporated and chartered under the laws of the state of Michigan in 1909. We operated as a unit bank until July 20, 1992, when we opened our first branch office in Sterling Heights, Michigan. In May 1998, the Bank acquired Madison National Bank, Madison Heights, Michigan ("Madison"). On May 1, 2000, the Bank acquired 100% of the common stock of Universal Mortgage Corporation, a southeast Michigan based mortgage lender. Today we operate 12 banking offices, including our newest branch opened in August 2005 in Fenton, Michigan and 8 mortgage offices. We provide customary retail and commercial banking services to our customers, including checking and savings accounts, time deposits, safe deposit facilities, commercial loans, real estate mortgage loans, installment loans, IRAs and night depository facilities. Our deposits are insured by the FDIC to applicable legal limits and we are supervised and regulated by the FDIC and Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Services. We provide a full range of retail and commercial banking services designed to meet the borrowing and depository needs of small and medium-sized businesses and consumers in local areas. Substantially all of our loans are to customers located within our service area. We have no foreign loans or highly leveraged transaction loans, as defined by the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB"). We conduct our lending activities pursuant to the loan policies adopted by our Board of Directors. These loan policies grant individual loan officers authority to make secured and unsecured loans in specific dollar amounts; senior officers or various loan committees must approve larger loans. Our management information systems and loan review policies are designed to monitor lending sufficiently to ensure adherence to our loan policies. We also offer a full range of deposit and personal banking services insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), including (i) commercial checking and small business checking products, (ii) retirement accounts such as Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRA"), (iii) retail deposit services such as certificates of deposits, money market accounts, savings accounts, checking account products and Automated Teller Machines ("ATMs"), Point of Sale and other electronic services, and (iv) other personal miscellaneous services such as safe deposit boxes, foreign draft, foreign currency exchanges, night depository services, travelers checks, merchant credit cards, direct deposit of payroll, U.S. savings bonds, official bank checks and money orders. We also offer credit cards and internet banking. Full estate and trust services, insurance and investment advice are offered through a partnership with The Private Bank, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Substantially all of our deposits are from local market areas surrounding each of our offices. 13 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PSB Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Peoples State Bank and PSB Capital, Inc. PSB Insurance Agency, Inc. and Universal Mortgage Company are wholly owned subsidiaries of Peoples State Bank. PSB Capital, Inc. was formed in October, 2004. Through September 30, 2005, there has been no business transacted by PSB Capital, Inc. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Net income is derived primarily from net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on the Bank's loan and investment portfolios and its cost of funds, primarily interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The volume of, and yields earned, on loans and investments, and the volume, of and rates paid, on deposits, determine net interest income. FINANCIAL CONDITION Company assets consist of customer loans, investment securities, bank premises and equipment, cash and other operating assets. Total assets increased approximately $36 million, or 8% to $497 million at September 30, 2005 from $461 million at December 31, 2004. The balance of our investment securities increased by approximately $13 million to $104.2 million at September 30, 2005 as compared to $91.1 million at December 31, 2004. Our loan portfolio increased approximately $12 million to $350.8 million at September 30, 2005. This was the result of a $24 million increase in commercial loans, partially offset by a $7.7 million decrease in residential mortgages and a $4.2 million decrease in other consumer loans. Loans held for sale increased by $9.8 million to $12.2 million at September 30, 2005. Other assets increased approximately $2.4 million at September 30, 2005. This was primarily the result of a $2.1 million increase in fixed assets, mostly related to our new branches. The allowance for loan losses increased $217 thousand during the first nine months of 2005. As a percentage of total loans, the allowance increased to 1.03% at September 30, 2005 from 1.00% at December 31, 2004. Management believes this reserve is sufficient to meet anticipated future loan losses. Total liabilities increased $35 million to $453 million at September 30, 2005 from $418 million at December 31, 2004. This was mainly due to a $15.2 million, or 3.7% increase in total deposits to $426.3 million at September 30, 2005 from $411.1 million at December 31, 2004. Approximately $3.8 million of this increase was in non-interest bearing demand deposits. The bulk of the increase, $22.8 million, was the result of our very successful Prime Savings Plus product, a savings account with tiered interest rates tied to the Wall Street Journal prime rate. CD balances increased approximately $11.2 million from December 31, 2004 to September 30, 2005. The increases were partially offset by an $18.6 million drop in Money Market balances, a $1.7 million drop in NOW balances and a $2.3 million drop in other savings balances. The increase in deposits was supplemented with a $20.7 million increase in our Federal Funds borrowings in funding our $36 million increase in total assets. 14 FINANCIAL RESULTS Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $1.0 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2004. Total interest income increased $1.4 million in the third quarter 2005 compared to the third quarter 2004. Interest and fees on loans increased $937 thousand in the third quarter 2005 over the third quarter 2004. Interest on securities and federal funds sold increased $434 thousand for the same period. The increase in interest and fees on loans in the third quarter 2005 compared to the third quarter 2004 was primarily due to higher interest rates in 2005. Average loan balances increased about $6.7 million in the third quarter 2005 over the third quarter 2004, but we earned approximately 74 basis points more in 2005 than 2004. The increase in interest on securities and fed funds sold was primarily the result of a $44.1 million increase in average securities and fed funds balances in the third quarter 2005 compared to the third quarter 2004, as well as a 30 basis point increase in yield. Interest expense increased $1.1 million in the third quarter 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. Approximately $837 thousand of this increase is due to our Prime Savings Plus product. This product was introduced in the third quarter 2004. In the third quarter 2005, we held an average of over $89 million in Prime Savings Plus balances. Interest expense on CD's was about $245 thousand higher in the third quarter 2005 than the third quarter 2004. This was partly due to the fact that average CD balances were about $9.4 million higher in the third quarter 2005 than the same quarter 2004, but also because of higher interest rates in 2005. Interest expense on FHLB and short-term borrowings was about $111 thousand higher in the third quarter 2005 than 2004. We averaged about $9.2 million more in borrowings in the third quarter 2005 than the third quarter 2004 and, again, interest rates were higher in 2005. These increases were partially offset by an $84 thousand decrease in interest on interest-bearing demand balances. During the third quarter 2005, there was a $644 thousand provision for loan losses recorded. This compares to a $350 thousand provision in the third quarter 2004. Total other income was about $200 thousand higher in the third quarter 2005 than the third quarter 2004. Increased commercial loan fees, mainly broker fees, accounted for $42 thousand of this increase. Gains on the sale of mortgages and mortgage servicing rights increased approximately $203 thousand over the same period. Both commercial loan fees and mortgage loan fees are included in Other Income. This was partially offset by a $32 thousand decrease in Overdraft Privilege fee income. Total other operating expenses increased $473 thousand in the third quarter 2005 over the same period in 2004. Higher salaries and employee benefits accounted for $348 thousand of this increase. Higher FTE related to the opening of two new branch offices in 2005, as well as the acquisition of two new mortgage loan production offices accounted for much of this increase. Occupancy expenses were $74 thousand higher in the third quarter 2005 than the third quarter 2004. This increase is due in a large part to the opening of two new branches in 2005. Other operating expenses increased $128 thousand in the third quarter 2005 over the third quarter 2004. This includes increased lender-paid closing costs related to a mortgage loan promotion and higher state tax accruals. 15 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $3.215 million compared to $3.033 million for the same period in 2004. Total interest income increased $3.5 million in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of 2004. Interest and fees on loans increased $2.0 million. 2005 year to date average loan balances increased $6.1 million over the 2004 averages, however, the 64 basis point increase in yield accounted for the bulk of the increase in interest and fees on loans. The increased interest income on loans was complimented by a $1.5 million increase in interest on investment securities. This increase was primarily the result of a $55 million increase in average investment securities and fed funds sold. Total interest expense increased $2.4 million in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Approximately $2.2 million of this increase was due to our Prime Savings Plus product. During the first nine months of 2005, we held an average of $85.4 million in Prime Savings Plus balances. Again, this product was not introduced until the third quarter of 2004. Interest on Money Market accounts is down $238 thousand due to the fact that average Money Market balances are down $26 million. Interest expense on CDs is up $399 thousand due mainly to the higher rates being paid in 2005. During the first nine months of 2005, we recorded a $1.193 million provision for loan losses compared to an $820 thousand provision in the first nine months of 2004. Even though we have experienced lower loan losses in 2005 than 2004, the higher provision was recorded in order to keep the loan loss reserve at an adequate level on a growing loan portfolio. Total other income was about $511 thousand higher in the first nine months of 2005 than the first nine months of 2004. Deposit service charges remained relatively consistent between the two periods. Other non-interest income increased $565 thousand, comparing the first nine months of 2005 to the first nine months of 2004. This included a $283 thousand increase in commercial loan fees and a $186 thousand increase in mortgage loan fees. We also realized a $25 thousand increase in the gains on the sale of securities in 2005. Total other operating expenses increased $937 thousand in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of 2004. Total salary and benefits expense increased $616 thousand. This is mainly due to increased FTE with the opening of our two new branches and the acquisition of our new mortgage loan production offices. Occupancy costs increased $215 thousand over the 2004 level, much of which is related to our new branches. Other operating expenses increased $192 thousand from period to period including increased state tax accruals and increased lender paid closing costs related to an on-going mortgage loan promotion. LIQUIDITY The Company manages its liquidity position with the objective of maintaining sufficient funds to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers and to take advantage of earnings enhancement opportunities. In addition to the normal inflow of funds from core-deposit growth, together with repayments and maturities of loans and investments, the Company utilizes other short-term funding sources such as Federal Home Loan Bank advances and overnight federal funds purchases from correspondent banks. 16 During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, $4.7 million in cash was provided by operations. This, plus $15.2 million in cash provided through increased deposits and $20.7 million from increased fed funds borrowings, was used to increase our investment portfolio by $14 million and our loan portfolio and loans held for sale by $22.8 million. In addition, we had a net outflow of $3.1 million for capital expenditures and paid $1.6 million in cash dividends during the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we experienced a net decrease of approximately $1.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS The only significant off balance sheet obligations incurred routinely by the Company are its commitments to extend credit and its stand-by letters of credit. At September 30, 2005, the Company had commitments to extend credit of $63.6 million and stand-by letters of credit of $3.1 million compared with $43.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2004. CAPITAL RESOURCES Banks are expected to meet a minimum risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8%, of which at least one-half (4%) must be in the form of Tier 1 (core) capital. The remaining one-half may be in the form of Tier 1 or Tier 2 (supplemental) capital. The amount of loan loss allowance that may be included in capital is limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The Bank is currently, and expects to continue to be, in compliance with these guidelines. The following table shows the capital totals and ratios for the Bank as of September 30, 2005: <Table> Tier 1 capital $39,406 Total capital $43,017 Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 10.96% Total capital to risk-weighted assets 11.96% </Table> ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK To a great extent, the Company's operating strategies focus on asset/liability management. The purpose of its Asset Liability Management Policy is to provide stable net interest income growth while both maintaining adequate liquidity and protecting the Bank's earnings from undue interest rate risk. The Bank follows its Asset/Liability Management Policy for controlling exposure to interest rate risk. The Policy is established by management and approved by the Board of Directors. The Company's balance sheet consists of investments in interest earning assets (investment securities and loans) that are funded by interest bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). These instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market interest rates which results in interest rate risk. Our policies place strong emphasis on stabilizing net interest margin, with the goal of providing a consistent level of satisfactory earnings. 17 An interest sensitivity model is the primary tool used in assessing interest rate risk, by estimating the effect that specific upward and downward changes in interest rates would have on pre-tax net interest income. Key assumptions used in this model include prepayment speeds on mortgage related assets; changes in market conditions, loan volumes and pricing; and management's determination of core deposit sensitivity. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model can not precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in other market conditions. Based on the September 30, 2005 simulation, the Company is in a position to benefit from the rising interest rates that are anticipated. Based on the position of the balance sheet and management's assumptions concerning core deposit sensitivity and other assumptions, net interest income is forecasted to increase as interest rates rise.
