ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND PRODUCTS
PSB Holdings, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation formed in 1995, is a one-bank
holding company regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the "Federal Reserve") under the authority of the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"). PSB Holdings, Inc.'s sole business is
the ownership and management of Peoples State Bank, a Wisconsin state chartered
bank headquartered in Wausau, Wisconsin. Since 1962, Peoples State Bank has
operated as a community bank and currently serves customers in the central and
northern Wisconsin counties of Marathon, Oneida, and Vilas through a branch
network of 8 retail locations. This Annual Report on Form 10-K describes the
business of PSB Holdings, Inc. and Peoples State Bank as in effect on December
31, 2004, and any reference to "PSB" refers to the consolidated or individual
operations of PSB Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary Peoples State Bank.
PSB's branch offices are located in the communities of Wausau, Rib Mountain,
Weston, Marathon, Rhinelander, Minocqua, and Eagle River, Wisconsin. PSB is
engaged in general commercial and retail banking and serves individuals,
businesses, and governmental units. PSB offers most forms of commercial
lending, including lines and letters of credit, secured and unsecured term
loans, equipment and lease financing and commercial mortgage lending. In
addition, PSB provides a full range of personal banking services, including
checking accounts, savings and time accounts, installment, credit card, and
other personal loans, as well as mortgage loans. PSB offers both commercial
and personal customers automated teller machines and online computer banking to
expand its services to customers on a 24-hour basis. Commercial customers may
use available cash management and lockbox services in addition to merchant
banking products. New services are frequently added to PSB's commercial and
retail banking departments.
PSB offers brokerage services at its Wausau locations, including the sale of
annuities, mutual funds and other investments to bank customers and the general
public. Commercial property and casualty insurance services are offered at its
Wausau home office location through Peoples Insurance Services LLC, a
subsidiary of Peoples State Bank, to bank customers and the general public.
All of PSB's products and services are directly or indirectly related to the
business of community banking and all activity is reported as one segment of
operations. Therefore, all revenue, profit and loss, and total assets are
reported in one segment and represent the entire operations of PSB.
As a community bank, the majority of PSB's operating revenues continue to come
from interest earned on loans receivable and its investment securities
portfolio. PSB does not have a dependence on any major customers and collects
revenue or obtains funding from approximately 12,700 households and businesses.
The table below shows a breakdown of principal sources of operating revenue
(including those which make up greater than 15% of total revenue).

2003 17,964 71.4% 2,859 11.4%
2002 18,022 72.0% 3,622 14.5%
As of February 21, 2005, PSB operated with 131 full-time equivalent (FTE)
employees, including 34 employed on a part time basis. None of the employees
is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Approximately 111 of the FTE
employees serve as sales, customer contact, or customer activity support
personnel, while 20 of the employees serve primarily for administrative and
internal purposes.
During the past several years, PSB has pursued a market expansion plan that
includes de novo branching into adjacent market areas previously identified as
offering favorable long-term business prospects. Full-service bank branches
were opened in Eagle River, Rhinelander, and Minocqua, Wisconsin in 2001, 2002,
and 2004 respectively. In addition, PSB opened a new stand-alone branch in
Weston, Wisconsin during March 2005. Management believes opening in adjacent
markets capitalizes on existing management resources and customer relationships
and leverages existing shareholder capital for the benefit of long-term
shareholders. However, PSB intends to pursue opportunities to acquire
additional bank subsidiaries or banking offices out of its current market area
so that, at any time, it may be engaged in some tentative or preliminary
discussions for such purposes with officers, directors or principal
shareholders of other holding companies or banks. However, there are no plans,
understandings, or arrangements, written or oral, regarding other acquisitions
at this time.
BANK MARKET AREA AND COMPETITION
There is a mix of retail, manufacturing, agricultural and service businesses in
the areas served by PSB. PSB has substantial competition in its market areas.
Much of this competition comes from companies which are larger and have greater
resources than PSB. PSB competes for deposits and other sources of funds with
other banks, savings associations, credit unions, finance companies, mutual
funds, life insurance companies and other financial and non financial
companies. Many of these nonbank competitors offer products and services which
are functionally equivalent to the products and services offered by PSB.
Based on publicly available deposit market share information as of June 30,
2004, the following is a list of the three largest FDIC insured banking
competitors in each of PSB's primary markets and a comparison of PSB's deposit
market share to these primary competitors.

Recent changes in banking laws have had a significant effect on the competitive
environment in which PSB operates and are likely to continue to increase
competition for PSB. For example, current federal law permits adequately
capitalized and managed bank holding companies to engage in interstate banking
on a much broader scale than in the past. In addition, financial holding
companies are permitted to conduct a broad range of banking, insurance, and
securities activities. PSB believes that the combined effects of more
interstate banking and the development of greater "one-stop" availability for
banking, insurance, and securities services will both increase the overall
level of competition and attract competitors with which PSB may not now compete
for its customers.
In addition to competition, the business of PSB is and will continue to be
affected by general economic conditions, including the level of interest rates
and the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve (see "Regulation and
Supervision - Monetary Policy"). This competition may cause PSB to seek out
opportunities to provide additional financial services.

Scott M. Cattanach, 36 - Treasurer of PSB since March 2002; Senior Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer of Peoples State Bank since April 2003;
Chief Financial Officer of Peoples State Bank (2002-2003); Prior to March

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
REGULATION
PSB is subject to regulation under both federal and state law. PSB Holdings,
Inc. is a registered bank holding company and is subject to regulation and
examination by the Federal Reserve pursuant to the BHCA. Peoples State Bank is
subject to regulation and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC") and, as a Wisconsin chartered bank, by the Wisconsin
Department of Financial Institutions.
The Federal Reserve expects a bank holding company to be a source of strength
for its subsidiary banks. As such, PSB Holdings, Inc. may be required to take
certain actions or commit certain resources to Peoples State Bank when it might
otherwise choose not to do so. Under federal and state banking laws, PSB is
subject to regulations which govern its capital adequacy, loans and loan
policies (including the extension of credit to affiliates), deposits, payment
of dividends, establishment of branch offices, mergers and other acquisitions,
investments in or the conduct of other lines of business, management personnel,
interlocking directorates and other aspects of its operations. Bank regulators
having jurisdiction over PSB generally have the authority to impose civil fines
or penalties and to impose regulatory sanctions for noncompliance with
applicable banking regulations and policies. In particular, bank regulators
have broad authority to take corrective action if Peoples State Bank fails to
maintain required minimum capital. Information concerning compliance with
applicable capital requirements is set forth in Item 8, in Note 16 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Banking laws and regulations have undergone periodic revisions that have often
had a direct or indirect effect on PSB's operations and its competitive
environment. Such laws and regulations are often, if not continuously, subject
to review and possible revision. Among recent changes in the regulatory
environment in which PSB operates are the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which
eliminated many of the barriers to affiliation among banks, insurance companies
and other securities or financial services companies, the Uniting and
Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and
Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the "USA PATRIOT Act") which requires banks and
other financial services companies to implement additional policies and
procedures designed to address, among other things, money laundering, terrorist
financing, identifying and reporting suspicious activities and currency
transactions, and currency crimes, and the recent "Check 21" legislation which
involves the replacement of paper check records with digital copies in order to
speed processing. Depending on the scope and timing of future regulatory
changes, it is likely they will affect the competitive environment in which PSB
operates or increase costs of regulatory compliance and, accordingly, may have
a material adverse effect on PSB's consolidated financial condition, liquidity
or results of operations.
4
MONETARY POLICY
The earnings and growth of PSB are affected by the monetary and fiscal policies
of the federal government and governmental agencies. The Federal Reserve has a
direct and indirect influence on the costs of funds used by PSB for lending and
its actions have a substantial effect on interest rates, the general
availability of credit and the economy as a whole. These policies therefore
affect the growth of bank loans and deposits and the rates charged for loans
and paid for deposits. Federal Reserve policies, in particular, have had a
significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and
are expected to do so in the future. PSB is not able to anticipate the future
impact of such policies and practices on its growth or profitability.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"). In
addition, certain statements in future filings by PSB with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, reports to shareholders, press releases, and in other oral
and written statements made by or with the approval of PSB which are not
statements of historical fact will constitute forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Reform Act.
Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (1)
expectations concerning financial performance of PSB, (2) expectations
concerning the payment of dividends, (3) statements of plans and objectives of
PSB, (4) statements of future economic performance and (5) statements of
assumptions underlying such statements. Words such as "believes,"
"anticipates," "expects," "intends," "targeted" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means
of identifying such statements. In making forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Reform Act, PSB undertakes no obligation to publicly update
or revise any such statement.
Forward-looking statements of PSB are based on information available to PSB as
of the date of such statements and reflect PSB's expectations as of such date,
but are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to
vary materially. In addition to specific factors which may be described in
connection with any of PSB's forward-looking statements, factors which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-
looking statements include, but are not limited to the following:
(1) the strength of the U.S. economy in general and the strength of
the local economies in the markets served by PSB;
(2) the effects of and changes in government policies, including
interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve;
(3) changes in inflation, interest rates, and market and monetary
fluctuations;
(4) the effect of changes in laws and regulations which increase
operating costs or increase competition;
(5) changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits;
5
(6) increased competition in PSB's principal market areas;
(7) the timely development of and acceptance of new products and
services in the markets served by PSB;
(8) the costs associated with required changes or upgrades in our
technology;
(9) the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices;
(10) acquisitions and the inability to successfully integrate acquired
institutions or branches into current operations; and
(11) the costs and effects of litigation and of unexpected or adverse
outcomes in such litigation.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
PSB's administrative offices are housed in the same building as the bank's
primary customer service location at 1905 West Stewart Avenue in Wausau,
Wisconsin. PSB's other Wisconsin branch locations, in the order they were
opened for business, include Rib Mountain, Marathon City, Wausau (Eastside),
Eagle River (in the Trig's grocery store), Rhinelander, Minocqua, and Weston.
The branch in the Trig grocery store occupies leased space within the
supermarket designed for community banking operations. The other 7 locations
are owned by PSB without encumbrance and are occupied solely by PSB and are
suitable for current operations. During 2004, PSB constructed a new banking
and administrative headquarters location in Wausau on the site occupied by the
original bank. The original building was razed after PSB occupied the new
building.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
PSB is subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business, but
does not believe that any such claim or litigation will have a material adverse
effect on its consolidated financial position.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
None.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
MARKET
There is no active established public trading market in PSB common stock. Bid
and ask prices are quoted primarily by one regional broker-dealer, Howe Barnes
of Chicago, Illinois, on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "PSBQ.OB."
Transactions in PSB common stock are limited and sporadic.
PSB maintains an informal, annual share repurchase program of up to 1% of
outstanding shares per year. During 2004, PSB purchased 18,001 shares at an
average price of $34.91 per share. During 2003, PSB purchased 16,700 shares at
an average price of $33.10 per share.
Information required by Item 201(d) of Regulation S-K related to equity
compensation plans is set forth under Item 12, Part III, of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K.
HOLDERS
As of December 31, 2004 there were approximately 970 holders of record of PSB
common stock. Some of PSB's shares are held in "street" name and the number of
beneficial owners of such shares is not known and therefore not included in the
foregoing number.
DIVIDENDS
PSB expects that its practice of paying semi-annual dividends on its common
stock will continue, although the payment of future dividends will continue to
depend upon earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other
factors. The principal source of funds for the payment of dividends by PSB is
dividend income from its bank subsidiary. Payment of dividends by the bank is
subject to various limitations under banking laws and regulations. At December
31, 2004, the bank could have paid a maximum of approximately $8.7 million in
additional dividends to PSB without prior regulatory approval. However, to
remain "well capitalized" under regulatory Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
(see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), dividends could not
exceed approximately $1.7 million as of December 31, 2004. PSB has paid
regular dividends since its inception in 1995.
On December 16, 2003, PSB declared a 5% stock dividend paid January 29, 2004.
All per share information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the
Consolidated Financial Statements has been adjusted to reflect the impact of
this stock dividend on a proforma basis.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
Management's discussion and analysis reviews significant factors with respect
to PSB's financial condition and results of operations at and for the three-
year period ended December 31, 2004. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes, tables, and the
selected financial data presented elsewhere in this report. All figures are in
thousands, except per share data and per employee data.
Management's discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that
are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial
performance. However, such performance involves risks and uncertainties that
may cause actual results to differ materially from those in such statements.
For a discussion of certain factors that may cause such forward-looking
statements to differ materially from actual results see Item 1, Cautionary
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information, in this Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
This overview summarizes PSB's business model and presents the primary
opportunities and challenges faced by management and the impact of economic and
industry-wide factors on PSB's operating environment. In addition, the near-
term and long-term issues on which management is most focused are outlined in
general terms as a backdrop for the detailed statistical and narrative analysis
presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Although PSB operates as a community bank, its operating environment is
significantly impacted by national economic trends and other industry factors.
Current national and banking industry wide trends impacting PSB are outlined
below.
* Following a pro-longed period of falling interest rates to historically
low levels, short-term interest rates began to rise during 2004.
However, long-term rates did not rise in a corresponding manner.
Therefore, some banks experienced a decreasing net interest margin as a
flatter yield curve brought funding costs closer to earning asset
yields.
* Although long-term market rates remained low, mortgage refinancing
activity sharply declined following a two year period of unprecedented
refinancing activity. This decrease in activity decreased fee income
from the sale of long-term fixed rate loans by banks to secondary market
investors.
* Rising interest rates have decreased the value of fixed rate debt
securities portfolios. In addition, rising interest rates have extended
the projected repayment period of amortizing debt securities, further
decreasing current market value. Many banks have seen substantial
decreases in the value of unrealized gains in the securities portfolio.
* Although bank deposits have increased since 2001, funds are beginning to
flow back into the stock market following a period of higher equity
market returns. The banking industry is likely to experience a long-
term slow erosion of deposits maintained by customers due to demographic
changes, competing investments from non-bank providers, and other
factors.
10
* Although consumer incomes and spending have been supported in recent
years by the temporary effects of lower taxes and liquidation of
homeowner equity, consumer spending going forward is expected to be more
dependent on the growth of jobs and incomes. While most consumers have
been managing their debt load, weaker borrowers or those holding
variable rate debt could be at risk as interest rates rise.
* Commercial banks and non-bank providers continue to compete aggressively
for a limited number of loan relationships. This competition has led to
declines in loan pricing margin relative to credit risk and other
factors.
* In light of competition for traditional net interest margin based
income, banks have sought to increase fee based income and become "one-
stop shopping" centers for most financial services. Service and
convenience continue to be a customer requirement impacting the ability
for smaller banks to compete for customers solely for traditional loan
and deposit products. In addition, non-bank competitors such as
insurance companies, retailers, and credit unions have sought to expand
their markets for traditional banking product customers, increasing
competition for customers and decreasing product pricing for services.
PSB operates in many ways as a local community bank, but larger in size and
scope. PSB maintains a traditional banking business model and currently does
not hold significant stand-alone derivative instruments to hedge cash flow and
fair value risks. The primary sources of income are net interest earned on
residential and commercial real estate loans made to local customers after
payment of interest to depositors. PSB also originates, sells, and services
long-term fixed rate mortgage loans to the secondary market for a substantial
amount of fee income. Depositors also pay various service fees including
overdraft charges and commercial service fees which contribute to PSB's
noninterest income. These activities make up over 90% of PSB's total revenue.
PSB serves customers through a network of eight full service locations with an
emphasis on customer service and flexibility. PSB employees are substantial
participants in community involvement for the betterment of PSB's market areas,
customers, and potential customers.
PSB recognizes many opportunities for continued growth in products, customers,
assets, and profits. PSB's relative size (compared to typical community banks,
thrifts, and credit unions) allows it to offer a wide array of financial
service products in a one-stop shopping service model. The burden of
regulatory compliance and emerging issues such as "Check 21" related to
electronic processing of paper items or compliance with anti-money laundering
regulations dictated by the USA Patriot Act are more easily borne by a larger
institution. Although greater in size, traditional community bank customer
service and flexibility is a priority. Therefore, PSB can offer better service
to customers disenfranchised by large banks and large bank mergers while
allowing them to continue their practice of one-stop shopping and commercial
support. PSB can compete against smaller local community banks and credit
unions by continuing the same level of service these customers expect, but
giving them an expanded and competitively priced product lineup due in part to
economies of scale.
PSB has invested in key management and branch personnel to capitalize on
relationships in existing and adjacent markets. PSB's growth into adjacent
markets minimized costs for name recognition and awareness while increasing the
speed in which customers are obtained via new locations and
11
improving convenience of service for existing customers. PSB intends to grow
at a level greater than may be able to be supported in existing adjacent
markets. Therefore, future market expansions are likely to be out of the area,
and be directed by an officer who is an existing local market leader.
For many years, PSB has operated with very low levels of overhead expense
relative to peer institutions, allowing for competitive pricing across its
product line. Management and employees recognize the need for an efficient and
cost effective organization which has become part of the culture of the
organization.
Against this back drop of industry-wide factors and competitive advantages and
opportunities, management monitors several areas of risk, negative tends, and
challenges. The following items represent challenges monitored by management
in both the short- and long-term. These challenges are presented in greater
detail and statistical analysis throughout this section of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K.
* Net income declined substantially during 2004 compared to 2003 and 2002.
The decline was due in part to lower mortgage banking revenue (compared
to 2003 and 2002) as refinancing activity sharply declined. In
addition, PSB incurred one-time charges related to abandonment of the
prior home office and settlement of a Wisconsin income tax audit
concerning its Nevada investment subsidiary.
* PSB continues to expand its branch network, significantly increasing
PSB's fixed overhead expense structure. In past years, low overhead
expenses allowed PSB to competitively price products while maintaining
acceptable profits for capital expansion and shareholders. As overhead
increases, additional profit gains need to come from the sale of new
services, acquisition of new customers, favorable loan and deposit
pricing, and other sources of income.
* As short-term interest rates increased during 2004, the interest rate
yield curve flattened, with short term rates (typically paid on
deposits) rising faster than longer-term rates (typically collected on
loans). PSB deposit funding costs have increased faster than earning
asset yields, thereby decreasing net interest margin. Improvements in
net interest margin are dependent in part on PSB's ability to limit core
deposit funding rate increases while at the same time attracting
deposits to fund continued loan growth.
* Although the rate of retail deposit growth during 2004 improved over
prior years, PSB continues to rely on wholesale funding such as broker
certificates of deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago ("FHLB")
advances. In light of a long-term industry wide problem of attracting
and keeping deposits, PSB is positioning itself to meet future funding
needs in this environment. PSB has identified noninterest bearing
demand and commercial deposits as a long-term low cost source of
funding. Therefore, PSB has positioned its operations to efficiently
handle large volumes of customer activity in this area through image
processing and related initiatives. To increase deposit levels, PSB has
developed commercial treasury management products with key personnel to
attract larger commercial and governmental depositors. To attract these
deposits, above average interest rates may be required, potentially
reducing net interest margin, although net interest income dollars could
increase through leveraged growth.
12
* In connection with PSB's new treasury management product initiative,
lending activities with large commercial enterprise to be repaid solely
from cash flow are expected to increase. While PSB seeks high quality
borrowers and closely monitors credit risk on such borrowers, the
potential for large loan principal charge-offs from a single commercial
loan relationship increases.
* PSB's long-term growth plan is likely to exceed the level of assets able
to be supported by existing equity capital and future earnings retained
internally. Management monitors available sources of regulatory
qualifying capital and maintains relationships with investment banking
professionals to expedite acquisition of capital in a manner beneficial
to existing shareholders when necessary. PSB anticipates raising
additional regulatory capital through a pooled trust preferred capital
issue during 2005 as needed.
* PSB is currently involved in an Internal Revenue Service income tax
audit directed at the operations of its Nevada investment subsidiary,
PSB Investments, Inc. As described in Item 8, Note 13 of the Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements, an unfavorable outcome in this
audit would have an unfavorable impact on profits.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
PSB's net income decreased to $3,526 for 2004 compared to $4,806 in 2003 and
$4,365 during 2002 representing a decrease of 26.6% in 2004 and an increase of
10.1% in 2003. Similarly, diluted earnings per share decreased to $2.03 for
2004 compared to $2.74 in 2003 and $2.48 in 2002. Item 6 of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K presents other various financial performance ratios and measures
for the five years ending December 31, 2004. A number of separate factors
decreased PSB earnings growth relative to the past two years as outlined in the
table below. Despite these separately identifiable items, PSB operating income
before special items continues to decline from the level set in 2002 and has
grown only modestly since 2001. The following table presents PSB's net income
for the four years ending December 31, 2004 including adjustments for gain on
sale of mortgage loans and other nonrecurring income and expense items.
Years ending December 31, 2004 2003 2002 2001
Net income before special mention items, net of tax $3,301 $3,608 $3,624 $2,952

Loss on abandonment of premises and equipment (230) - - -
Wisconsin state income tax settlement (150) - - -
Net income $3,526 $4,806 $4,365 $3,366
As seen in the table, 2004 net income compared to 2003 net income was reduced
by one-time charges for loss on abandonment of the previous home office and a
grocery store branch location and settlement of a Wisconsin state income tax
issue related to the operations of the Nevada investment subsidiary in addition
to lower mortgage banking income. Net income before these special mention
13
items also declined by a decrease in average net interest margin on earning
assets compared to 2003 as net interest income growth was less than operating
expenses growth.
Net income in 2003 before gain on sale of mortgage loans, gain on sale of
securities, and gain on curtailment of a post-retirement benefit plan decreased
from the level seen during 2002. This decline in net income and profit growth
before these items was due primarily to a decrease in average net interest
margin on earnings assets compared to 2002 and additional wages paid to
employees based on earnings which included mortgage banking income under PSB's
incentive compensation plan.
The following discussion concerning results of operations presents a detailed
analysis of significant items impacting results from operations and trends
identified by management including:
* Average earning asset and funding sources balances and rates;
* Impact of increased asset base and changes in average net margin on net
interest income;
* Changes in the nature of profit and loss items related to net interest
income;
* Noninterest income and expense analysis, trends, and expectations;
* Anticipated impacts of current branching and administrative facilities
expansion; and
* Income tax contingencies
NET INTEREST INCOME
PSB incurs market risk primarily from interest-rate risk inherent in its
lending and deposit taking activities. Market risk is the risk of loss from
adverse changes in market prices and rates. Management actively monitors and
manages its interest-rate risk exposure. The measurement of the market risk
associated with financial instruments (such as loans and deposits) is
meaningful only when all related and offsetting on- and off-balance sheet
transactions are aggregated, and the resulting net positions are identified.
Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments that reflect changes
in market prices and rates can be found in Item 8, Note 19 of the Notes to
Financial Statements.
PSB's primary objective in managing interest-rate risk is to minimize the
adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital,
while adjusting the asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost
spread on that structure. PSB relies primarily on its asset-liability
structure to control interest-rate risk. In general, longer-term earning
assets are funded by shorter-term funding sources allowing PSB to earn net
interest income on both the credit risk taken on assets and the yield curve of
market interest rates. However, a sudden and substantial change in interest
rates may adversely impact earnings, to the extent that the interest rates
borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same
extent, or on the same basis. PSB does not engage in trading activities to
enhance earnings or for hedging purposes.
Net interest income represents the difference between interest earned on loans,
securities and other interest-earning assets, and the interest expense
associated with the deposits and borrowings that fund them. Interest rate
fluctuations together with changes in volume and types of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities combine to affect total net interest income.
Additionally, net interest income is impacted by the sensitivity of the balance
sheet to change in interest rates, contractual maturities, and repricing
frequencies.

interest rates on a tax equivalent basis and the impact of changes in the
earnings assets base for the three years ending December 31, 2004.

During 2004, average earning assets grew 11.5% to $407,425 compared to growth
of 9.5% during 2003 and 9.2% during 2002. However, tax adjusted net interest
income increased just 6.9% to $14,666 compared to growth of 4.0% to $13,714
during 2003 and growth of 15.7% to $13,185 during 2002. The lower level of net
interest income growth during 2004 and 2003 was due to a decline in average net
interest margin on those earning assets.
Compared on an annual basis, yield on earning assets and cost of interest-
bearing liabilities declined during 2004, 2003, and 2002. During 2004, the
decline in earning assets yield was greater than the offsetting decline in the
cost of interest-bearing liabilities. As short-term interest rates increased,
earnings assets and funding sources tied to these short-term rates rose
compared to yields seen during 2003. These included taxable securities, other
overnight investments, and savings and demand deposits. However, longer-term
earning assets and long-term funding sources continued to mature at lower
rates, decreasing yields. Although the volume of additional earning assets
added $1,633 to net interest income during 2004, approximately 40% of this
benefit was lost to declines in net interest margin.
During 2003, the decline in earning asset yields was greater than the
offsetting decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities as savings and
other "core" customer deposits had repriced to near their floor during 2002.
Conversely, longer-term loans matured and refinanced at continually lower
rates, decreasing net interest margin during 2003. Although the volume of
additional earning assets added
16
$1,715 to net interest income during 2003, nearly 70% of this benefit was lost
to declines in net interest margin. The following table outlines the change in
yields during the three years ended December 31, 2004.
Table 4: Yield on Earning Assets
Year ended December 31, 2004 2003 2002
Yield Change Yield Change Yield Change
Yield on earning assets 5.59% -0.32% 5.91% -0.82% 6.73% -1.08%
Effective rate on all liabilities as
a percent of earning assets 1.99% -0.17% 2.16% -0.62% 2.78% -1.30%
Net yield on earning assets 3.60% -0.15% 3.75% -0.20% 3.95% 0.22%
Because PSB holds a significant amount of prime rate adjustable commercial and
home equity loans, recent increases in the prime rate are beginning to be
reflected as the yield on earning assets increased from 5.54% for the quarter
ended September 2004 to 5.59% for the quarter ended December 2004, the first
significant quarterly increase in yield during the most recent interest rate
cycle. However, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 10 basis
points to 2.47% during the quarter ended December 31, 2004. PSB's ability to
increase future net interest margin is dependant on repricing core accounts in
line with earning asset yields in a rising rate environment. Increases to the
prime rate through December 31, 2004 were not yet reflected in the rate paid on
core savings and money market accounts at year-end. Absent a change to a
rising yield curve with equal short-term and long-term increases (a "parallel"
yield curve shift), management expects net interest margin to remain similar to
that seen during all of 2004. Average earning assets are projected to continue
to grow by approximately 10% during 2005.
During 2003, the decrease in the prime rate at the end of June 2003 caused a
direct reduction to net interest margin due to the inability to reprice core
deposit savings rates from their already historically low levels. Therefore,
net interest margin during 2003 decreased from that seen during 2002.
NONINTEREST INCOME
During 2004, PSB noninterest income from deposit service fees, sale of mortgage
loans and other income declined relative to net interest income as mortgage
banking income declined, reversing a trend seen in 2003 and 2002 which had
large increases in mortgage banking income. However, separate from mortgage
banking, noninterest income to net interest income did not decline as
drastically as presented in table 5 below. Noninterest income before mortgage
banking and gain on curtailment of employee benefit plan to net interest margin
was 15.8%, 16.8%, and 14.4% in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Management
believes other fee based income to be an important component of future earnings
as the net interest margin on traditional loan and deposit products declines
due to increased financial services competition. Mortgage banking income on
sale of mortgages to secondary market investors was the primary reason for net
income growth during 2003 and 2002, and was a factor in the decline in net
income during 2004 compared to these periods. The following common size income
statements present the changing mix of income and expense relative to
traditional loan and deposit product net interest income for the five years
ending December 31, 2004.

Net income 25.0% 36.6% 34.5% 30.6% 28.4%
During 2004, service fees declined $48, or 3.7% from that in 2003. During
2005, PSB expects to increase service fee income due in large part to fee
income from treasury management products introduced in 2005. Mortgage banking
declined $866, or 49.0% during 2004 compared to 2003 as mortgage refinancing
activity ceased as falling long-term mortgage rates stabilized. Separate from
these items, 2004 noninterest income declined $74 due to a one-time gain on
curtailment of a post-retirement benefit plan of $131 during 2003.
During 2003, the impact of the gain on sale of mortgages and some nonrecurring
income items were significant contributors to the increase in 2003 net income
over 2002. Although the continued decline in market interest rates decreased
average net interest margin as described previously, low mortgage rates
encouraged homeowners to refinance their mortgages generating significant fee
income for PSB, offsetting lost interest margin on loans retained on PSB's
balance sheet. However, because this activity was in response to falling
interest rates, management did not expect such level of mortgage fee income to
continue in 2004. A detailed analysis of noninterest income relative to net
income before income taxes follows to highlight the impact of these items on
income.

PSB serviced $160,225 and $152,718 of residential real estate loans which have
been sold to the FHLB under the Mortgage Partnership Finance Program ("MPF") at
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. A servicing fee equal to .25% of
outstanding principal is retained from payments collected from the customer as
compensation for servicing the loan for the FHLB. Historically low and
declining long-term fixed rate mortgage interest rates during 2001 to 2003
increased the amount of loans originated and subsequently serviced for the FHLB
from just $1 million at December 31, 2000. As long-term mortgage rates have
increased, PSB does not expect such fast growth in the serviced portfolio to
continue during 2005.
As a FHLB MPF loan servicer, PSB has provided a credit enhancement guarantee to
reimburse the FHLB for foreclosure losses in excess of 1% of the original loan
principal sold to the FHLB. In exchange for this guarantee, PSB is paid a
"credit enhancement" fee of .07% to .10% of outstanding serviced principal in
addition to the .25% collected for servicing the loan for the FHLB.
PSB recognizes a mortgage servicing right asset due to the substantial volume
of loans serviced for the FHLB. Refer to Note 1 of the consolidated financial
statements for a summary of PSB's mortgage servicing right accounting policies.
The table below summarizes the components of PSB's mortgage banking income for
the three years ending December 31, 2004.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expenses year over year continue to increase growing 12.4% during
2002, 13.7% during 2003 and 17.4% during 2004. However, 2004 included a
special charge for loss on abandonment of premises and equipment related to the
razing of the former home office building and closure of a grocery store branch
in Rhinelander following establishment of a separate stand alone branch near
the same location. Excluding this loss on abandonment, noninterest expense
increased 13.3% over 2003.
During 2004, noninterest expense grew faster than income, thereby unfavorably
increasing the efficiency ratio to 61.70%. The 2004 efficiency ratio before
the loss on abandonment of premises and equipment was 59.56% compared to 52.46%
during 2003. Other factors resulting in the less favorable efficiency ratio
during 2004 were the large decline in mortgage banking income and slower net
19
interest income growth relative to growth in operating expenses. As PSB
invests in new branch facilities and personnel (as occurred during 2004),
future years will have a significantly higher fixed cost structure than in
prior years. Management expects the efficiency ratio during 2005 to remain
similar to 2004 in a range from 58% to 59%.
During 2003 and 2002, increases in noninterest expenses were offset by
increases in net interest income and other income of similar amounts so that
PSB's efficiency ratio was 50.68% in 2002 and 52.46% in 2003. Salaries and
employee benefits showed the greatest increase relative to net interest income
and other income during 2003.
The table below outlines in detail noninterest expenses for the three years
ending December 31, 2004.

Note - Net interest income (net margin) is calculated on a tax equivalent basis
using a tax rate of 34%.
The average number of full time equivalent employees ("FTE") was 106, 119, and
126 in 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively. Average base wages per FTE were
approximately $35,500, $37,600, and $40,100 in 2002, 2003, and 2004,
respectively, increasing 6.6% during 2004 and 5.9% during 2003. Although
effective January 1, 2004, employees were granted inflationary and merit
increase averaging 2.9%, new employees hired later in 2004 were for senior
sales positions and other bank officers requiring greater than average base pay
levels. The increase in base pay during 2003 was due to one-time merit and
inflationary increases granted to employees effective January 1, 2003 averaging
6.1%.
20
For 2005, employees were granted inflationary and merit increases
averaging 3.4% effective January 1, 2005.
During 2004, separate from the increase in base pay, salaries and employee
expense declined $346 compared to 2003 due primarily to lower incentive
compensation and profit sharing expenses of $323. PSB offers employees an
incentive compensation program based on achievement of the bank's net income
requirements and achievement of department and individual goals. In addition,
PSB's profit sharing contribution to the qualified employee retirement plan is
a percentage of net income before income taxes. During 2002 and 2003, the
highest levels of incentive compensation were paid. However, because the
program is based on net income growth, incentive compensation is variable, and
declined during 2004. Should net income increase according to plan during 2005
and future years, incentive compensation expense is expected to increase.
During 2004, occupancy expenses increased $482, or 42.8% due to $254 in
additional premises and equipment depreciation expense, one-time charges for
moving into the new home office of $23, and settlement of a sales tax audit
related largely to premises and equipment investment and maintenance of $52.
All other increases to occupancy expense totaled $153, an increase of 13.6%.
PSB occupied a new home office and principal customer financial center on June
28, 2004, placing into service the 32,000 square foot $4.8 million dollar
facility (including furniture and equipment). Annual depreciation expense is
estimated to increase $186 from the new investment in the home office.
Abandonment of the old main office (the building was razed) located on the same
property generated a cumulative one-time charge to operations of $329 ($199
after tax benefits). During December 2004, PSB closed its grocery store branch
located in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. In accordance with the lease agreement, PSB
accrued $50 for costs to remove leasehold improvements in accordance with the
lease agreement as a loss on abandonment of premises and equipment. Following
the decision to close the Rhinelander grocery store branch, depreciation of
remaining leasehold improvements was accelerated to the date of closing, adding
approximately $115 of additional depreciation expense during 2004 that had
originally been allocated to future years.
Advertising and promotion expenses declined during 2003 as PSB took much of its
advertising and design work in-house. In addition, PSB updated the bank logo
and other media for a change in brand during 2002, which increased nonrecurring
expenses during that year. With the opening of two new branch locations and a
new administrative home office during 2004, advertising and promotion increased
to capitalize on these new initiatives and market exposure.
Directors' fees and benefits increased during 2003 due to an increase in fees
effective January 1, 2003. Increases to the director fees schedule are
infrequent and the 2003 increase was the first in several years. Directors'
fees are expected to remain similar to 2004 levels in 2005.
Other noninterest expenses during 2004 includes $127 of collection fees written
off in response to regulatory requirements to account for collection fees as
expense until collected, despite PSB's expectation that these fees will be
collected from the borrower in the future as part of the loan agreement or from
SBA loan guarantee reimbursements. PSB now accounts for collection expenses
when paid, and credits future reimbursements of such expenses when received.
PSB formed Peoples Insurance Services LLC during September 2003 as a start up
commercial property and casualty insurance agency that operates as a division
of Peoples State Bank. As a
21
start-up, the agency is incurring costs in excess of revenue at this time. The
agency's net loss (after tax benefits) from operations (excluding inter-company
cost allocations for rent, management fees, and interest expense) was $129 and
$39 during 2004 and 2003, respectively. The primary expense from agency
operations is salaries and benefits, which were $171 in 2004 and $41 in 2003.
Commission income on sale of insurance products by the LLC has been
significantly less than originally planned, increasing losses above the
original pro-forma budget, despite operating with lower expenses than
projected. Commission income collected during 2004 totaled $9.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is assessed based upon credit
quality, existing economic conditions and loss exposure by loan category.
Management determines the allowance for loan losses based on past loan
experience, current economic conditions, composition of the loan portfolio, and
the potential for future loss. Accordingly, the amount charged to expense is
based on management's evaluation of the loan portfolio. It is PSB's policy
that when available information confirms that specific loans, or portions
thereof, including impaired loans, are uncollectible, these amounts are
promptly charged off against the allowance. The provision for loan losses was
$855, in 2004; compared to $835 in 2003 and $1,110 in 2002. See additional
discussion under the section titled "Allowance for Loan Losses."
INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate was 34.5% in 2004, 32.4% in 2003, and 31.3% in 2002.
The increase in the 2004 effective rate was due to a Wisconsin state income tax
settlement regarding operations of the Nevada investment subsidiary totaling
$150 (after federal tax benefits). Excluding this one-time charge, the
effective rate would have been 31.7%. During 2004, PSB earned a greater
portion of tax-exempt income on municipal securities relative to total income
compared to prior years, reducing the effective tax rate. See Item 8, Note 13
of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional tax
information.
The increase in the effective rate during 2003 and 2002 was due in part to
overall pre-tax income increasing faster than the relative size of the tax-
exempt municipal securities portfolio and state tax favored earnings at PSB's
Nevada investment subsidiary, PSB Investments, Inc.
As described in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,
PSB's open tax returns are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue
Service in connection with PSB Investments, Inc. activities. PSB believes it
has calculated and paid appropriate income taxes in all cases in accordance
with written tax code and regulations. PSB has been assessed approximately
$170 in taxes, interest, and penalties for the tax years ending 1999 through
2002 as a result of the IRS audit; however, this assessment is in the process
of being appealed.
BALANCE SHEET CHANGES AND ANALYSIS
Summary balance sheets for the five years ended December 31, 2004 are presented
in Item 6 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Total asset growth was 11.3%,
10.1%, and 7.9% during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002,
respectively. Presented in the table below is the balance sheet for five years
as of December 31, 2004 as a percentage of total assets.

During 2004, 2003, and 2002, the asset mix has increased in loans receivable
but decreased in securities held. Investment in premises and equipment also
continues to increase with a new full service branch facilities and a new home
office added during this same period.
Equity capital as a percentage of total assets declined during 2004 to levels
in place before 2002, after increasing in 2003 and 2002. At December 31, 2004,
deposits increased slightly as a funding source of assets after declining
during 2003 when PSB increased reliance on FHLB advances and other borrowings
(primarily repurchase agreements) to fund asset growth. However, deposits
include a greater amount of wholesale market broker certificates of deposit at
December 31, 2004, and 2003 than in prior years. Local retail deposits have
shown little growth during 2004 and 2003 relative to other funding sources.
The table below presents changes in the mix of average earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities for the three years ending December 31, 2004.

23
During 2004 and 2003, the growth in loans as a percentage of the earning assets
mix was funded in part by a change in the mix of securities and reduction in
overnight federal funds sold (other earning assets). During the past several
years, a greater portion of interest bearing liabilities have been from savings
and demand deposits while money market balances have declined as market rates
for the product have fallen.
PSB is party to limited off balance sheet activity and has not purchased any
significant stand alone derivative instruments for the purpose of enhancing
earnings or hedging cash flow or the fair value of monetary instruments. PSB's
primary off balance sheet arrangement is with the FHLB as a MPF mortgage loan
servicer. In addition to servicing residential first mortgage loans owned by
the FHLB, PSB retains some recourse risk if the FHLB incurs principal losses in
excess of an initial loss pool.
The following sections concerning changes in the balance sheet present a
detailed analysis of significant items impacting balance sheet trends
identified by management including:
* Decline in securities held relative to other assets;
* Increase in commercial real estate lending but declines in retail
consumer lending;
* Level of nonperforming loans and other assets;
* Increased activity in mortgage loan servicing activities; and
* Change in deposit mix and slowing retail local deposit growth
INVESTMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
The investment securities portfolio is intended to provide PSB with adequate
liquidity, flexible asset/liability management and a source of stable income.
At December 31, 2004, all securities are classified as available for sale and
reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings
but are reported as other comprehensive income in a separate component of
stockholders' equity, net of income tax. The investment portfolio represented
17.7% and 20.4% of average earning assets in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The
following table presents the fair value and amortized cost securities held by
PSB at December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002.

During 2004, a number of U.S. government agency securities were called (without
re-investment) or sold to fund loan growth, as part of a pro-active asset-
liability management strategy. Against a market expectation of higher security
yields in 2005, some lower yielding securities were sold and re-invested in
higher coupon loans receivable. See Item 8, Note 4 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on security sales.
As short-term market rates increased in 2004, yield on taxable securities
stabilized at 3.80%. Management expects the yield on taxable securities to
increase slightly over that seen during 2004 as market rates for terms greater
than two years in maturity are expected to increase.
As market interest rates continued to fall during 2003, a large percentage of
PSB's collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") prepaid and it received
large cash flows to be reinvested. These significant prepayments also required
purchase premiums to be amortized against income much more quickly that
anticipated when the CMO was purchased which contributed to declining yields.
The yield on taxable securities, including CMOs, was 3.76% during 2003 compared
to 5.27% during 2002.
During 2003, at the time CMOs prepayments were accelerating, reinvestment rates
for similar securities were at historic lows. As part of proactive asset-
liability management, PSB chose to reinvest these CMO cash flows in 15 year
fixed rate residential mortgages held on PSB' balance sheet. The program
absorbed approximately $6 million of securities cash flow during 2003. Refer
to the discussion of changes in loans for additional information on this
temporary program.
During 2004, PSB continued investment in tax-exempt securities due to steepness
in the yield curve and greater tax effected returns available. Also due to the
steepness of the market interest rate yield curve during 2003, PSB reinvested
some of the CMO security prepayment proceeds in additional long-term municipal
securities to gain higher tax advantaged yields. However, because PSB
maintains an investment "ladder" of maturities in its municipal portfolio,
current maturities continue to be reinvested at lower rates, gradually reducing
the tax adjusted yield on municipal securities. The municipal security yield
is expected to continue to decline slightly during 2005 even as current market
interest rates increase.
During 2003, PSB expanded securities ownership into additional categories not
previously held. In light of PSB's asset/liability position and expectation of
interest rate movements, pass through mortgage backed securities of 15 year
single family mortgage pools were purchased as noted in the table above. In
addition, PSB purchased nonrated trust preferred securities issued by bank
holding companies in Wisconsin. As with nonrated municipal securities, PSB
considers ownership of such local issues to have no more risk than out of state
rated issues due to PSB's understanding of local markets, municipalities, and
issuers. Each security purchased by PSB is subject to a full and formal risk
analysis considering (among other factors) the liquidity needs of the bank and
the credit risk of the issuer. Although the original maturity on each trust
preferred security was 30 years, the interest rates on each security currently
adjust, or will adjust after an initial fixed rate period based on the 90 day
LIBOR rate, reducing PSB's interest rate risk on these longer maturity assets.
PSB does not expect to purchase additional trust preferred securities during
2005.
The following table categorizes securities by scheduled maturity date and does
not take into account the existence of optional calls held by the security
issuer. Therefore, actual funds flow from maturing securities may be different
than presented below. Maturity of mortgage backed securities and
collateralized mortgage obligations, some of which call for scheduled monthly
payments of principal
25
and interest, are categorized by average principal life of the security.
Yields by security type and maturity are based on amortized security cost.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, PSB's securities portfolio did not contain
securities of any single issuer where the aggregate carrying value of such
securities exceeded 10% of stockholders' equity.
Securities with an approximate carrying value (fair value) of $27,982 and
$17,994 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were pledged primarily to
secure public deposits, other borrowings, and for other purposes required by
law. The substantial increase in securities pledged was due to the increase in
local governmental and municipal funds in excess of insured limits obtained by
PSB during 2004.
The market value of the investment portfolio as a percentage of book value has
been impacted by perceived and actual increases in short to mid term interest
rates during the past two years. Increases in current market rates decrease
the market value of a portfolio of fixed rate securities held. At December 31,
2004 market value was 100.8% of book value compared to 101.8% of book value at
December 31, 2003 and 102.6% of book value at December 31, 2002. The net
unrealized gain on securities available for sale, recorded as a separate
component of stockholders' equity, was $384, net of deferred taxes of $195 at
December 31, 2004 compared to a gain of $844 net of deferred income taxes of
$446 at December 31, 2003. Unrealized securities gains, net of income tax
effects are not considered regulatory capital under current banking
regulations. Management believes investment security yields have a stabilizing
effect on net interest margin during periods of interest rate swings and
expects to hold existing securities until maturity or repayment unless such
funds are needed for liquidity due to unexpected loan growth or depositor
withdrawals or if the sale is beneficial to PSB's interest rate risk and return
profile.
26
As a member of the FHLB system, PSB is required to hold stock in the FHLB based
on total assets and anticipated level of long-term borrowings to be advanced to
its bank subsidiary. This stock has a purchase cost and par value of $100 per
share. The stock is recorded at cost which approximates market value.
Transfer of the stock is substantially restricted. The FHLB pays dividends in
both cash and additional shares of stock. During the three years ended
December 31, 2004, FHLB dividends have been in the form of additional shares of
stock. In accordance with industry accounting conventions, PSB records FHLB
dividends in the form of stock as income in the year received. The average
dividend rate paid to PSB on FHLB stock was 5.87%, 6.46%, and 4.91% in 2004,
2003, and 2002, respectively. Due to limitations on future stock dividends
recently announced by the FHLB, management expects the yield on FHLB stock to
decline during 2005 to a level between 5.00% and 5.50%.
LOANS RECEIVABLE
Total loans as presented in the following table include loans held for sale to
the secondary market and expected final fully disbursed principal on
construction loans not yet fully disbursed at year-end. Total loans receivable
increased 13.2%, 18.6%, and 9.0% at December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002,
respectively. During 2004, the majority of this growth was split between
commercial real estate and residential real estate mortgages. During 2003, the
majority of this growth also came from additional real estate loans, both
commercial real estate and residential 15 year fixed rate first mortgages that
fit into PSB's asset-liability management plans. During 2004, loan growth
occurred at all branch locations, while in 2003, approximately $23 million of
PSB's $50 million in total 2003 growth was originated by PSB's new Rhinelander,
Wisconsin branch location which opened during August 2002.

Commercial real estate growth continues to drive PSB loan growth, as it has for
several years. Separate from commercial real estate loans and real estate
construction at December 31, other loan categories have changed little from
$174,021 at December 31, 2000 to $173,596 at December 31, 2004. Commercial
real estate loans are originated for a broad range of business purposes
including non-owner occupied office rental space, multi family rental units,
owner occupied manufacturing facilities, and owner occupied retail sales space.
PSB has little lending activity for agricultural purposes. Management of PSB
is involved in the communities serviced by PSB and has a strong understanding
of the local economy, its business leaders, and trends in successful business
development. Based on this knowledge, PSB offers flexible terms and efficient
approvals which have allowed it to make inroads in this type of lending.
PSB hired an additional experienced commercial lender late in 2004 to lead the
treasury management initiative for PSB and expects commercial loan principal to
experience continued growth. However, many of the these relationships are
expected to carry large aggregate loan balances secured by the customer's
operating cash flow in connection with a line of credit tied to treasury
management services. This type of lending requires a more sophisticated
initial and ongoing credit analysis and could increase the relative size of
individual loan charge-offs in the event of a problem loan.
Retained, in-house residential real estate mortgage loans increased to $82,696
at the end of 2004, compared to $66,065 at the end of 2003 and $55,078 at the
end of 2002. During 2004, a residential loan program aimed at high value
vacation homes in the Wisconsin Northwoods increased the amount of loans held
in-house.
During 2003, despite the trend of customer mortgage refinancing into the
secondary market offering low long-term rates, the amount of residential real
estate mortgages held increased from the year earlier period by a substantial
amount. The increase in residential mortgages during 2003 is from retaining
some 15 year fixed rate mortgages rather than selling the principal to the
secondary market. These mortgages were retained as part of an asset-liability
management strategy to maximize net interest margin without a significant
increase in interest rate risk due to the current cash and projected liquidity
position in light of interest sensitivity of the entire balance sheet and
opportunities for re-investment of investment security cash flows into loans or
other new securities. The amount of 15 year fixed rate mortgages originated by
the program during 2003 was approximately $12.0 million with an average yield
of 4.95%. Approximately one-half of this production was funded by maturing and
prepaid mortgage related investment securities during this period. This
program was discontinued during August 2003.
In addition to residential real estate loans retained by PSB and recognized on
the balance sheet, PSB also serviced $160,225 at December 31, 2004, and
$152,718 at December 31, 2003 of residential real estate loans which have been
sold to the FHLB under the MPF. As part of the asset/liability and interest
rate sensitivity management strategy, PSB generally does not retain long-term
15 to 30 year fixed rate mortgages in its own portfolio. These serviced loans
are not recognized on PSB's balance sheet. As previously discussed in the
analysis of noninterest income, management does not expect to see serviced
loans grow at the pace seen during 2001 through 2003.
28
As a FHLB MPF loan servicer, PSB has provided a credit enhancement guarantee to
reimburse the FHLB for foreclosure losses in excess of 1% of the original loan
principal sold to the FHLB. At December 31, 2004, the maximum obligation for
such guarantees would be approximately $743 if total foreclosure losses on the
entire pool of approximately $160 million loans exceeded $2,951. At December
31, 2003, the maximum obligation for such guarantees was approximately $554 if
total foreclosure losses on the entire pool of approximately $153 million loans
exceeded $2,562. In exchange for this guarantee, PSB is paid a "credit
enhancement" fee. These first mortgage loans are underwritten using
standardized and conservative criteria on residential properties in PSB's local
communities. Management believes loans serviced for the FHLB will realize
minimal foreclosure losses in the future and that PSB will experience no loan
losses related to charge-offs in excess of the FHLB 1% loss pool. The central
and northern Wisconsin residential real estate market has not experienced the
run-up in home values seen by other parts of the country. The average
residential first mortgage originated by PSB under the FHLB program was
approximately $121 in 2004 and $100 during 2003. Management does not expect to
be significantly impacted by loss exposure if housing values drop from a
substantial increase in future mortgage lending rates.
Real estate construction loans grew $669, or 1.8% during 2004 compared to
growth of $11,587, or 44.4% during 2003. Loans in this classification are
primarily short-term loans that provide financing for the acquisition or
development of commercial real estate, such as multi-family or other commercial
development projects. PSB retains permanent financing on these projects
following completion of construction in a majority of cases.
Installment loans to consumers and individuals totaled $6,482 at December 31,
2004, down $1,246 from $7,728 at 2003. December 31, 2003 consumer loans were
down $2,711 from $10,439 at year-end 2002. Installment loans include short-
term installment loans, automobile loans, recreational vehicle loans, credit
card loans, and other personal loans. PSB experiences extensive competition
from local credit unions offering low rates on installment loans and has
directed resources toward more profitable lending categories such as
residential fixed rate mortgages and commercial real estate lending during the
past several years. However, as short-term rates were low, many customers
appeared to borrow on a tax deductible home equity line of credit for many
purposes funded by a consumer installment loan in the past. Total home equity
and installment loans were $18,102, $16,980, and $17,713 at December 31, 2004,
2003, and 2002, respectively.
The following table categorizes loan principal by scheduled maturity and does
not take into account any prepayment options held by the borrower. The loan
portfolio is widely diversified by types of borrowers, industry groups, and
market areas. Significant loan concentrations are considered to exist for a
financial institution when there are amounts loaned to numerous borrowers
engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by
economic conditions. At December 31, 2004, no concentrations existed in PSB's
portfolio in excess of 10% of total loans.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The loan portfolio is the primary asset subject to credit risk. Credit risk is
controlled through the use of credit standards, review of potential borrowers,
and loan payment performance. During 2004, the allowance for loan losses
increased as net loan charge-offs declined significantly compared to the prior
year, while provisions increased slightly. During 2003 the allowance for loan
losses as a percentage of gross loans declined due to an improvement in
portfolio quality and charge-off of a significant problem loan identified
during 2002. As of December 31, 2004, the allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of total loans outstanding was 1.19% and was 148.3% of nonperforming
loans, compared to 1.15% and 106.0%, respectively, at December 31, 2003. In
addition to coverage from the allowance for loan losses, nonperforming loans
are secured by various collateral including real estate and consumer
collateral.

The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of an amount
adequate to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. Adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses is based on management's ongoing review and
grading of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, trends in past due
and nonperforming loans, and current economic conditions. PSB has an internal
risk analysis and review staff that continuously reviews loan quality.
The allocation of the year-end allowance for loan losses for each of the past
five years based on management's estimates of loss exposure by category of
loans is shown in the following table. The allocation methodology applied by
PSB focuses on changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio, current
and expected economic conditions, the geographic and industry mix of the loan
portfolio and historical losses by category. The total allowance is available
to absorb losses from any segment of the portfolio. Management allocates the
allowance for loan losses by pools of risk and by loan type. PSB combines
estimates of the allowance needed for loans analyzed individually and loans
analyzed on a pool basis. The determination of allocated reserves for larger
commercial loans involves a review of individual higher-risk transactions,
focusing on loan grading, and assessment of specific loss content and possible
resolutions of problem credits. While management uses available information to
recognize losses on loans, future adjustments may be necessary based on changes
in economic conditions.

Net loans charged off declined to .07% of average loans during 2004 compared to
..16% in 2003 and .37% for 2002. Loans charged off are subject to continuous
review and specific efforts are taken to achieve maximum recovery of principal,
accrued interest, and related expenses. During 2002, PSB was notified of the
bankruptcy of a large commercial loan customer in which it was not the lead
lender. Due to inadequate collateral protection, an additional $270 of loan
loss provisions were recorded during 2002 to cover estimated principal losses
not specifically identified and reserved previously. A charge-off of $376 was
also recorded during 2002 on this relationship. During 2003, the remaining
principal balance of $211 on this relationship (fully reserved in the allowance
for loan losses at December 31, 2002) was charged off during 2003. Separate
from these charge-offs, net charge-offs to average loans would have been .09%
during 2003 and .22% during 2002.
Nonperforming loans are defined as loans 90 days or more past due but still
accruing, nonaccrual loans including those defined as impaired under current
accounting standards, and restructured loans. Loans are generally placed on
nonaccrual status when contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or
principal payments. Previously accrued and uncollected interest on such loans
is reversed, and income is recorded only to the extent that interest payments
are subsequently received and principal is collectible.
Loans past due 90 days or more but still accruing interest are also included in
nonperforming loans. Also included in nonperforming loans are restructured
loans. Restructured loans involve the granting of concessions to the borrower
involving the modification of terms of the loan, such as changes in payment
schedule or interest rate, or capitalization of unpaid real estate taxes or
unpaid interest. The majority of restructured loans represent capitalized loan
principal and/or interest and real estate taxes that borrowers were unable to
repay according to the original repayment terms. Such loans are subject to
senior management review and ongoing monitoring and are made in cases where the
borrower's delinquency is considered short-term from circumstances the borrower
is believed able to overcome.

Nonperforming loans at December 31, 2004, decreased by $533 to $2,802 from
$3,335 at December 31, 2003. Nonperforming loans to gross loans was .80% at
December 31, 2004, compared to 1.08% at December 2003. PSB also tracks
delinquencies on a contractual basis quarter to quarter since some problem
loans currently making payments remain on non-accrual status until ongoing
ability to repay according to the contract is shown. Loans contractually
delinquent 30 days or more as a percentage of gross loans were .56% at December
2004 compared to .63% at December 2003 and .87% at December 2002. Management
continues to work aggressively with problem credits and expects the level of
non performing loans to total loans and net charge-offs to average loans during
2005 to be similar to that seen during 2004.
Interest payments on nonaccrual and impaired loans are typically applied to
principal unless collectibility of the principal amount is fully assured, in
which case interest is recognized on the cash basis. The interest that would
have been reported in 2004 if all such loans had been current throughout the
year in accordance with their original terms was $181 in comparison to $96
actually collected. The total reduction in interest income during 2003 and
2002 as a result of discontinuing the accrual of interest on loans that are
delinquent for 90 days or more was $142 and $54, respectively.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As described previously, PSB serviced residential mortgage loans of $160,225 at
December 31, 2004, and $152,718 at December 31, 2003 which have been sold to
the FHLB under the MPF Program and are not included on PSB's balance sheet. As
a FHLB MPF loan servicer, PSB has provided a credit enhancement guarantee to
reimburse the FHLB for foreclosure losses in excess of 1% of the original loan
principal sold to the FHLB. At December 31, 2003, the maximum obligation for
such guarantees would be approximately $743 if total foreclosure losses on the
entire pool of approximately $160 million loans exceeded $2,951. Management
believes loans serviced for the FHLB will realize minimal foreclosure losses in
the future and that PSB will experience no loan losses related to
33
charge-offs in excess of the FHLB 1% loss pool. Therefore, PSB does not
maintain any recourse liability for possible losses.
Under bank regulatory capital rules, this recourse obligation to the FHLB is
risk-weighted for the purposes of the total capital to risk-weighted assets
capital calculation. The majority of the recourse loans held at December 31,
2004 require risk capital at least equal to 8% of PSB recourse obligation.
However, the loan program used by PSB since October 2003 requires risk capital
equal to the recourse obligation (the original MPF program used by PSB has
expired and all new loans are originated under this new capital arrangement).
As of December 31, 2004, the amount of risk based capital needed to be
considered well-capitalized under prompt correction action provisions increased
$288 due to the MPF recourse obligation. During 2005, as new loans continue to
be originated under the new program, risk based capital needs will increase
equal to additional recourse obligation. However, in light of the existing
capital structure of PSB, plans to increase regulatory capital, and anticipated
activity in loan originations during 2005, management does not expect these
capital requirements to impact operations in the near-term.
Other significant off-balance sheet financial instruments include the various
loan commitments outlined in Item 8, Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements. These lending commitments are a traditional and
customary part of lending operations and many of the commitments are expected
to expire without being drawn upon.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
PSB has experienced substantial internal asset growth during the past several
years while maintaining similar equity capital related to asset size. During
2004, this growth was funded primarily by retail and large local depositors,
while in 2003 and 2002, this growth was funded primarily by wholesale
depositors and FHLB advances. These sources of wholesale funding are limited
both by the wholesale lender's ability to raise individual depositor funds and
by internal policy limitations on aggregate exposure to use of such funds.
Increased loans to customers have been the significant use of these funds. The
table below outlines in summary form the sources and uses of cash for the three
years ending December 31, 2004. These sources and uses of funds and their
impact on past and future growth is discussed in depth later in this analysis
of liquidity.

DEPOSITS
Core retail deposits are PSB's largest source of funds. PSB considers core
retail deposits to include noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest
bearing demand and savings deposits, money market demand deposits, and retail
time deposits less than $100. Core retail deposits represented 54.7%, 55.7%,
and 59.1% of total assets as of December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002,
respectively. Growth in local retail core deposits has been modest during the
past several years. PSB's retail deposit growth is continuously influenced by
competitive pressure from other financial institutions, as well as other
investment opportunities available to customers. To continue asset growth,
deposit growth was supplemented by additional wholesale certificate of deposits
(in additional to additional FHLB advances). The following table outlines the
average distribution of deposits during the three years ending December 31,
2004.

Average total deposit growth 11.75% 8.54% 11.24%
*Prior to 2002, PSB did not maintain separate information on average balance of
wholesale time deposits and related interest expense.
Due to the increasingly competitive nature of time deposit funding, both
locally and nationally, PSB believes transactional based deposits to be the
best source of low-cost funding in the long-term. Such personal and commercial
deposits are attracted and retained through factors other than interest rate
alone, including high level of customer service, network of deposit taking
branches, and convenience of use, and provide a high level of fee based income
and available short-term liquidity via clearing float. Therefore, PSB actively
promotes transactional based deposit products. This emphasis is reflected in
an increase in average noninterest bearing demand deposits during the past
several years.
During 2004 and 2003, average interest bearing demand deposits increased due to
new municipal and government agency deposits, many of which require pledging of
security collateral. During 2004, PSB committed greater resources to expand
deposits from municipalities and governments. As of December 31, 2004,
deposits from governmental entities totaled approximately $21,117. However,
due to limitations on securities available for pledging, the level of municipal
deposit growth seen during 2004 and 2003 may not be repeated during 2005.
Retail time deposits increased substantially during 2004 in large part due to
large local deposits collected under the "Certificate of Deposit Account
Registry System" (CDARS), a nation-wide program in which network banks work
together to obtain greater FDIC insurance on deposits through sharing of
banking charters. Average balances of CDARS deposits were $5,022 during 2004
and $67 during 2003. PSB became a member of this program during 2003. For
regulatory purposes, these deposits are considered brokered deposits and
disclosed as such on quarterly regulatory filings. However, for internal and
external reporting other than for Call Report purposes, these deposits are
36
considered to be retail deposits since the terms of the account are set
directly between PSB and its local customer. Accordingly, these deposits are
included as "Retail time deposits $100 and over" in Table 20.
During much of 2003 and 2002, rates (including broker fees) on broker deposits
were less than local retail deposits for equivalent terms. During 2003, the
average rate paid on wholesale deposits was greater than the rate paid on
retail time deposits because, in general, wholesale deposit original terms were
greater than those typically seen on retail time deposits. During 2003 and
2002, various larger commercial loans were offered at longer-term fixed rate
financing terms (typically 5 years) that were simultaneously funded by similar
term wholesale deposits. Because the average term on wholesale certificates
was longer than local certificates, the wholesale yield increased relative to
local time deposits during 2003.

Large time deposits and wholesale broker deposits continue to grow as a
percentage of total deposits and were 24.0% and 21.7% of total assets at
December 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively. Growth in retail time deposits and
local "core" deposits has been low relative to overall asset growth. During
late 2004, PSB created a new Treasury Management product team in part to
organize collection of non-maturity deposits from municipalities and corporate
cash management accounts and lessen reliance on large CD deposits as a primary
funding source. PSB believes it has competitively priced
37
deposit products in its local markets and will seek to actively promote them
during 2005. However, based on expected asset growth in existing and new
markets during 2004, management believes broker wholesale funding will continue
to be used during 2005.
PSB policy allows broker funds to be used up to 20% of total assets. Available
and unused broker deposits were approximately $37,097 and $33,067 at December
31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, under this policy. The table below outlines
maturities of time deposits of $100 or more, including broker and retail time
deposits. Management is aware of the potential volatility of broker deposits
due to funds flowing out of the banking system and into other investment
vehicles, and other factors, that could increase the incremental cost of
obtaining these types of deposits. Broker deposits represent just one
potential financing source in addition to FHLB advances and repurchase
agreements.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
PSB is party to various contractual obligations requiring use of funds as part
of its normal operations. The table below outlines the principal amounts and
timing of these obligations, excluding amounts due for interest, if applicable.
Most of these obligations, including time deposits, are routinely refinanced
into a similar replacement obligation without requiring any substantial outflow
of cash. However, renewal of these obligations is dependent on PSB's ability
to offer competitive market equivalent interest rates or availability of
collateral for pledging such as retained mortgage loans or securities as in the
case of advances from the FHLB. PSB's funds management policy includes a
formal liquidity contingency plan to identify low cost and liquid funds
available in the event of a liquidity crisis.

LIQUIDITY, FUNDING SOURCES, AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Primary short-term and long-term funding sources other than retail deposits
include federal funds purchased from other correspondent banks, repurchase
agreements from security pledging, advances from the FHLB, and use of wholesale
time deposits. The following table outlines the available and unused portion
of these funding sources (based on collateral and/or company policy
limitations) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003. During 2005, PSB expects total
net asset growth from existing and new market locations to be approximately $45
million, a significant portion of which will be funded by use of funding
sources other than deposits.
Table 24: Available but Unused Funding Sources other than Retail Deposits:
2004 2003
As of December 31, Unused, but Amount Unused, but Amount
Available Used Available Used
Overnight federal funds purchased $22,500 $ - $22,500 $ -
FHLB advances under blanket mortgage lien 14,855 52,000 8,165 47,000
Repurchase agreements 12,871 8,565 25,458 10,475
Wholesale market time deposits 37,097 53,898 33,067 48,720
Total available but unused funds $87,323 $114,463 $89,190 $106,195
Overnight federal funds purchased totaling $22,500 are available through three
primary correspondent banks. These lines are not supported by a formal written
arrangement, but represent best efforts ability on the part of correspondent
banks to raise these funds. During 2004, average daily federal funds purchased
were $2,140 compared to $2,579 during 2003. The cost of these funds is subject
to change based on changes in the discount rate as determine by the Federal
Reserve. PSB may maintain a continuous position in overnight federal funds
purchased up to 60 days before amounts must be liquidated for at least one
business day. Consideration of the need for federal funds purchased is part of
PSB's daily cash management and funding procedures and represents the first
source of liquidity as needed.
Under the existing credit line with the FHLB described in Item 8, Note 9 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, PSB may borrow up to 61% of
qualifying existing mortgage loan collateral. In addition, PSB may pledge
certain investment securities to obtain additional funding under repurchase
agreement. FHLB advances carry substantial penalties for early prepayment that
are generally not recovered from the lower interest rates in refinancing. The
amount of early prepayment penalty is a function of the difference between the
current borrowing rate, and the rate currently available for refinancing.
Therefore, existing high cost FHLB advances borrowed prior to 2001 were not
refinanced in the substantially lower long term rate market experienced during
2004 and 2003. FHLB advance funding may be obtained for various terms on a
daily basis at PSB's request, and represents PSB's second source of liquidity
as needed after federal funds purchased.
Repurchase agreements represent overnight and long-term funding in exchange for
securities owned by PSB for a designated time period for an agreed upon
interest rate. Item 8, Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements outlines the activity in these other borrowings and federal funds
39
purchased during the three years ending December 31, 2004. Although PSB does
not currently have any repurchase agreements with the FHLB, it does have a
written agreement providing for their use in exchange for securities held. An
additional $12,871 and $25,458 of FHLB funding could be obtained upon pledge of
these available securities as of December 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively.
As described in the changes in deposits and deposit activity above, wholesale
broker deposits have represented a growing source of asset growth funding
during the past several years. PSB's policy allows up to 20% of assets to be
funded with wholesale time deposits. Wholesale time deposits as a percentage
of assets were 11.8%, 11.9%, and 10.8% of total assets at December 31, 2004,
2003, and 2002, respectively.
PSB's Asset-Liability Management process provides a unified approach to
management of liquidity, capital, and interest rate risk, and to provide
adequate funds to support the borrowing requirements and deposit flow of its
customers. Management views liquidity as the ability to raise cash at a
reasonable cost or with a minimum of loss and as a measure of balance sheet
flexibility to react to marketplace, regulatory, and competitive changes.
Management's overall strategy is to coordinate the volume of rate sensitive
assets and liabilities to minimize the impact of interest rate movement on the
net interest margin. Table 25 represents PSB's earning sensitivity to changes
in interest rates at December 31, 2004. It is a static indicator which does
not reflect various repricing characteristics and may not indicate the
sensitivity of net interest income in a changing interest rate environment.
The following repricing methodologies should be noted in Table 25:
1. Money market deposit accounts are considered fully repriced within 90
days. Interest bearing demand (NOW) and savings deposits are considered
"core" deposits as they are generally insensitive to interest rate
changes. These deposits are considered to reprice beyond 5 years.
2. Nonaccrual loans are considered to reprice beyond 5 years.
3. Assets and liabilities with contractual calls or prepayment options are
repriced according to the likelihood of the call or prepayment being
exercised in the current interest rate environment.
Table 25 reflects a nearly neutral gap position in essentially all individual
categories until those beyond 1 year. The cumulative one-year gap ratio as of
December 31, 2004 is positive at 101.0% compared to 110.4% at December 31,
2003. A significant factor in PSB's ability to match the repricing of assets
and liabilities in line with the expectations in the table is the ability to
delay increases in interest rates paid on "core" deposits such as NOW,
statement savings, and MMDA accounts when market rates begin to increase. PSB
conducts incremental cost analysis of various sources of funding on an ongoing
basis and will rely on such analysis to slow core deposit interest rate growth
until adjustable rate loan rates benefits from future increases in the prime
lending rate.

PSB uses financial modeling techniques to measure interest rate risk. These
policies are intended to limit exposure of earnings at risk. A formal
liquidity contingency plan exists that directs management to the least
expensive liquidity sources to fund sudden and unanticipated liquidity needs.
PSB also uses various policy measures to assess adequacy of liquidity and
interest rate risk as described below.
BASIC SURPLUS
PSB measures basic surplus as the amount of existing net liquid assets (after
deducting short-term liabilities and coverage for anticipated deposit funding
outflows during the next 30 days) divided by total assets. The basic surplus
calculation does not consider unused but available correspondent bank federal
funds purchased, as those funds are subject to availability based on the
correspondent bank's own liquidity needs and therefore are not guaranteed
contractual funds. However, basic surplus does include unused but available
FHLB advances under the open line of credit supported by a blanket lien on
mortgage collateral. PSB's policy is to maintain a basic surplus of at least
5%. Basic surplus was 7.1% and 8.0% at December 31, 2004, and 2003,
respectively. The decline in basic surplus during 2004 was due primarily to
lower levels of securities available for deposit pledging.
41
INTEREST RATE RISK LIMITS
PSB balances the need for liquidity with the opportunity for increased net
interest income available from longer term loans held for investment and
securities. To measure the impact on net interest income from interest rate
changes, PSB models interest rate simulations on a quarterly basis. Changes in
interest rates are assumed to be a parallel yield curve shift fully implemented
over a 12 month time frame. PSB's policy is that projected net interest income
over the next 12 months will not be reduced by more than 15% given a change in
interest rates of up to 200 basis points. The projected increase (decrease) in
net interest income on the existing balance sheet for the next 12 months if
rates increased 200 basis points was (.04%) and 3.17% at December 31, 2004, and
2003, respectively. The projected decrease in net interest income for the next
12 months if rates decreased 100 basis points was 2.15% and 2.50% at December
31, 2004, and 2003, respectively.
CORE FUNDING UTILIZATION
To assess whether interest rate sensitivity beyond one year helps mitigate or
exacerbate the short-term rate sensitive position, a quarterly measure of core
funding utilization is made. Core funding is defined as liabilities with a
maturity in excess of 60 months and capital. Core deposits including DDA, NOW
and non-maturity savings accounts (except money market accounts) are also
considered core long-term funding sources. The core funding utilization ratio
is defined as assets that reprice in excess of 60 months divided by core
funding. PSB's target for the core funding utilization ratio is to remain at
80% or below given the same 200 basis point changes in rates that apply to the
guidelines for interest rate risk limits exposure described previously. PSB's
core fund utilization ratio after a projected 200 basis point increase in rates
was 46.49% and 46.53% at December 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY
PSB is required to maintain minimum levels of capital to be considered well-
capitalized under current banking regulation. Refer to Item 8, Note 16 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for these requirements and PSB's
current capital position relative to these requirements. The primary increase
in stockholders' equity during the three years ending December 31, 2004 has
been retained net income not distributed to shareholders. Failure to remain
well-capitalized would prevent PSB from obtaining future wholesale broker time
deposits which have been an important source of funding during the past several
years. Refer to Item 8, Statement of Changes in Stockholder's Equity in the
Consolidated Financial Statements for detailed activity in the capital
accounts. Average tangible regulatory Tier 1 leverage capital was 7.55%,
7.86%, and 7.66% during 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The following
table presents a reconciliation of stockholders' equity as presented in the
December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 consolidated balance sheets to regulatory
capital.

On December 16, 2003, PSB declared a 5% stock dividend in additional to the
regular semi-annual cash dividend. The stock dividend was paid to shareholders
of record as of January 6, 2004 on January 29, 2004. All references in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K to the number of common shares and per share amounts
for 2004, 2003, and 2002 have been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividend.
PSB maintains an incentive stock option plan approved by shareholders during
2001 as described in Item 8, Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. As of December 31, 2004, all shares available under the plan have
been granted and no shares of common stock remained reserved for future grants.
PSB pays a regular semi-annual cash dividend as described in Item 5 of this
Annual Report of Form 10-K. In addition, PSB maintains an informal, annual,
ongoing share repurchase program of up to 1% of outstanding shares per year as
described in Item 5 of this Annual Report of Form 10-K. Although PSB is
currently purchasing treasury shares under the buyback program, management is
pursuing a growth strategy which may require significant capital to be
maintained to support asset growth. Therefore, large scale stock buybacks or
dividend payments substantially in excess of past periods are not anticipated.
Based on expected asset growth during 2005, PSB expects to approach the "Well-
Capitalized" minimum of 10% of risk-adjusted assets as defined by current
regulation. Therefore, PSB is
43
performing due diligence regarding various capital options to accommodate
current and future growth. In particular, management believes participation
in a pooled trust preferred capital offering to be the most cost effective way
for PSB to support asset growth without diluting current shareholder ownership
percentages. Participation in pooled trust preferred offerings occurs
generally on a quarterly basis. Trust preferred capital securities may provide
up to 25% of PSB's total Tier 1 regulatory capital. As of December, 31, 2004,
PSB could utilize up to $10,900 of trust preferred securities as additional
Tier 1 regulatory capital. Management monitors regulatory capital on a regular
basis and is prepared to participate in a pooled trust preferred offering to
remain well-capitalized during 2005 as needed.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Current accounting standards call for the allowance for loan losses to include
both specific losses on identified problem loans (Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan") and "inherent" losses on existing loan pools not yet considered
problem loans (SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies"). Determination of
the allowance for loan losses at period-end is based primarily on subjective
factors and management assessment of risk in the existing portfolio. Actual
results, if significantly different from that using estimates at period-end,
could have a material impact on the results of operations.
Loans receivable, for the purpose of estimating the allowance for loan losses,
are separated into four primary categories - Residential real estate loan pool,
consumer installment loan pool, specifically identified problem commercial
loans, and pools of non-problem commercial purposes loans subcategorized by
credit risk assessment. PSB makes the following estimates and performs the
following procedures when setting the allowance for loan losses at period-end:
1. Categorize existing loan principal into either commercial purpose loans,
a pool of residential real estate loans, or a pool of consumer
installment loans.
2. Commercial purpose loans are subcategorized into credit risk "grades"
based on an internal determination of risk established during credit
analysis and updated no less than annually. Determination of risk
grades takes into account several factors including collateral, cash
flow, borrower's industry environment, financial statement strength, and
other factors. PSB uses four risk grades for non-problem commercial
purpose loans.
44
3. Identified problem loans are classified into two additional risk grades
and individually reviewed to determine specific reserves required for
each relationship depending on the specific collateral and timing of
cash flows to be received. The allowance for loan losses provided for
these problem loans is based substantially on management's estimates
related the value of collateral, timing of cash flows to be received
from the borrower or sale of the collateral, and likelihood of the
specific borrower's ability to repay all amounts due without foreclosure
of collateral. Management updates the cash flow analysis of problem
loan relationships quarterly.
4. Other commercial loans not considered to be problem loans are assigned
an estimated loan loss allowance based on historical "inherent" losses
for loans of similar credit risk. These allowances range from .25% of
principal to 2.5% of principal depending on the assigned credit risk
grade. An inaccurate assignment of credit risk grade to a loan
relationship could significantly increase the actual levels of
allowances required for that loan, and therefore management's assigned
of credit risk is a significant estimate. Management reviews actual
long-term losses to the inherent losses assigned by credit risk grade
and updates allowance percentages as needed.
5. Similar to nonproblem commercial purpose loans, inherent losses are
assigned to the residential real estate loan pool. However, since
residential real estate loan risk characteristics are very similar from
borrower to borrower, a flat percentage loss of principal is applied to
real estate loans rather than breaking the pool into subcategories of
credit risk. The percentage applied is based primarily on historical
losses on similar residential loan pools. An inaccurate estimate of
inherent losses related to the real estate loan pool could significantly
increase the actual levels of allowances required.
6. Similar to the residential real estate loan pool, consumer installment
loans are assigned an estimated loss based on a flat percentage of
principal outstanding. The percentage applied is based primarily on
historical losses on similar consumer installment loan pools. An
inaccurate estimate of inherent losses related to the consumer
installment loan pool could significantly increase the actual levels of
allowances required.
After calculating the estimate of required allowances for loan losses using the
steps above, an analysis of the level of problem and past due loans is made
relative to the aggregate allowance for loan losses recorded. If past due and
problem loans are significantly rising, additional unallocated reserves may be
recorded to account for this additional risk of loss before it is recognized in
the allowance for loan losses calculation by the change in commercial credit
risk grades, or increase in the historical inherent loss percentage assigned to
the real estate and consumer installment loan pools. As of December 31, 2004,
there were no unallocated loan loss allowances recorded.
MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
As required by current accounting standards (SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities"), PSB records a mortgage servicing right asset ("MSR") when PSB
continues to service borrower payments and maintenance activities on loans in
which the principal has been sold to the FHLB or other secondary market
investors. PSB's MSR calculation is calculated on a individual loan level
basis and uses public financial market information for many of the significant
estimates. PSB makes the following estimates and performs the following
procedures when accounting for MSRs:
1. Serviced loans are stratified by risk of prepayment criteria.
Currently, strata are first based on the year in which the loan was
originated, then on term, and then on the range of interest rates within
that term.
2. PSB uses the discount approach to generate the initial value for the
OMSR. It takes the average of the current dealer consensus on
prepayment speeds as reported to Reuters or the
45
prepayment speed implied in the mortgage backed security prices for
newly created loans along with other assumptions to general an estimate
of future cash flows. The present value of estimated cash flows equals
the fair value of the OMSR. PSB capitalizes the lower of fair value or
cost of the OMSR. Other than the estimate of public dealer consensus of
prepayment speeds, significant fair value and cost estimates include:
* Servicing cost of $60 per loan annually
* Cash flow discount rate of 8% to 10%, depending on year of
origination
* Short-term reinvestment rate on the float of payments to
investors of 2%
Changes in these estimates and assumptions would change the initial
value recorded for OMSRs and change the gain on sale of mortgage loans
recorded in the income statement.
3. Amortization of the OMSR is calculated based on actual payment activity
on a per loan basis. Because all loans are handled individually,
curtailments decrease MSRs as well as regularly scheduled payments. The
loan servicing value is amortized on a level yield basis.
4. Significant declines in current market mortgage interest rates decrease
the fair value of existing MSRs due the increase in anticipated
prepayments above the original assumed speed. SFAS No. 140 requires
that impairment testing be performed and that MSRs be recorded at the
lower of fair value or amortized cost. PSB performs quarterly
impairment testing on its MSRs. Actual prepayment speeds (based on
actual PSB customer activity on a loan level basis) are compared to the
assumed prepayment speed on the date of the last quarterly impairment
testing (or the origination prepayment speed if a new loan). The fair
value assumptions other than prepayment speed are combined with the new
estimated prepayment speed to create a new fair value. An impairment
allowance is recorded for any shortfall between the new fair value and
the original cost after adjusting for past amortization and
curtailments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (dollars in thousands except per
share data)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY
PSB Holdings, Inc., operates Peoples State Bank, a full-service financial
institution with a primary service area including, but not limited to,
Marathon, Oneida, and Vilas Counties, Wisconsin. It provides a variety of
banking products, including uninsured investment and insurance products, long-
term fixed rate residential mortgages, and commercial property and casualty
insurance.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PSB Holdings,
Inc. and its subsidiary Peoples State Bank. Peoples State Bank owns and
operates a Nevada subsidiary, PSB Investments, Inc., to manage the Bank's
investment securities. The Bank also owns and operates a limited liability
company, Peoples Insurance Services, LLC, an insurance agency offering
commercial property and casualty insurance. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accounting and reporting
policies of PSB conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and
to the general practices within the banking industry. Any reference to "PSB"
refers to the consolidated or individual operations of PSB Holdings, Inc. and
its subsidiary Peoples State Bank.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of reporting cash flows in the consolidated financial statements,
cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing
deposits and money market funds, and federal funds sold, all of which have
original maturities of three months or less.
SECURITIES
Securities are assigned an appropriate classification at the time of purchase
in accordance with management's intent. Securities held to maturity represent
those debt securities for which PSB has the positive intent and ability to hold
to maturity. PSB has no held to maturity securities.
Trading securities include those securities bought and held principally for the
purpose of selling them in the near future. PSB has no trading securities.
Securities not classified as either securities held to maturity or trading
securities are considered available for sale and reported at fair value
determined from estimates of brokers or other sources.
53
Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings but are reported as
other comprehensive income, net of income tax effects, in a separate component
of stockholders' equity.
Any gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized at the time of sale
using the specific identification method.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK
As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system, PSB is required to
hold stock in the FHLB based on asset size and the anticipated level of
borrowings to be advanced to PSB. This stock is recorded at cost, which
approximates fair value. Transfer of the stock is substantially restricted.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
PSB sells substantially all long-term fixed-rate single-family mortgage loans
it originates to the FHLB. The gain or loss associated with sales of single-
family mortgage loans is recorded as a component of mortgage banking revenue.
Originations and sales of single-family mortgage loans will vary significantly
from period to period depending on customer preferences for fixed-rate mortgage
loans and customer refinance activity. Accordingly, the gain or loss
associated with sales of single-family mortgage loans may vary substantially
from period to period. In general, however, fluctuations in gains or losses on
sales of single-family mortgage loans are offset to some degree by opposite
changes in the amortization of mortgage servicing rights, which is also
recorded as a component of mortgage banking revenue (refer to "Mortgage
Servicing Rights").
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are
carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net
unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to
income. Gains and losses on the sale of loans held for sale are determined
using the specific identification method using quoted market prices.
In sales of mortgage loans to the FHLB, PSB retains a secondary portion of the
credit risk on the underlying loans in exchange for a credit enhancement fee.
When applicable, PSB records a recourse liability to provide for potential
credit losses. Because the loans involved in these transactions are similar to
those in PSB's loans held for investment, the review of the adequacy of the
recourse liability is similar to the review of the adequacy of the allowance
for loan losses (refer to "Allowance for Loan Losses").
LOANS
Loans that management has the intent to hold for the foreseeable future or
until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid
principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and
any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest on loans is credited
to income as earned. Interest income is not accrued on loans where management
has determined collection of such interest doubtful or those loans which are
past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments. When a loan is
placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest deemed
uncollectible is reversed and charged against current income. After being
54
placed on nonaccrual status, additional income is recorded only to the extent
that payments are received or the collection of principal becomes reasonably
assured. Interest income recognition on loans considered to be impaired under
current accounting standards is consistent with the recognition on all other
loans.
Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred
and amortized to income over the estimated life of the underlying loan.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan
losses when management believes the collectibility of the principal is
unlikely.
Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable
credit losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable
credit losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio. In accordance
with current accounting standards, the allowance is provided for losses that
have been incurred based on events that have occurred as of the balance sheet
date. The allowance is based on past events and current economic conditions
and does not include the effects of expected losses on specific loans or groups
of loans that are related to future events or expected changes in economic
conditions. While management uses the best information available to make its
evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are
significant changes in economic conditions.
The allowance for loan losses includes specific allowances related to
commercial purpose loans which have been judged to be impaired as defined by
current accounting standards. A loan is impaired when, based on current
information, it is probable that PSB will not collect all amounts due in
accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management has
determined that commercial, financial, agricultural, and commercial real estate
loans that have a nonaccrual status or have had their terms restructured meet
this definition. Large groups of homogeneous loans, such as mortgage and
consumer loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment. Specific allowances
on impaired loans are based on discounted cash flows of expected future
payments using the loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of
the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Interest income is
recognized on the cash basis.
In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for
loan losses. These agencies may require PSB to make additions to the allowance
for loan losses based on their judgments of collectibility based on information
available to them at the time of their examination.
In management's judgment, the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover
probable losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable
losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio.
MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
PSB continues to service most single-family mortgage loans it sells to the
FHLB. Servicing mortgage loans includes such functions as collecting monthly
payments of principal and interest from borrowers, passing such payments
through to third-party investors, maintaining escrow accounts for
55
taxes and insurance, and making such payments when they are due. When
necessary, servicing mortgage loans also includes functions related to the
collection of delinquent principal and interest payments, loan foreclosure
proceedings, and disposition of foreclosed real estate. PSB generally earns a
servicing fee of 25 basis points on the outstanding loan balance for performing
these services as well as fees and interest income from ancillary sources such
as delinquency charges and float. Servicing fee income is recorded as a
component of mortgage banking revenue, net of the amortization and charges
described in the following paragraphs.
PSB records originated mortgage servicing rights (OMSR) as a component of gain
on sale of mortgage loans when the obligation to service such loans has been
retained. The initial value recorded for OMSR is based on the relative values
of the servicing fee adjusted for expected future costs to service the loans,
as well as income and fees expected to be received from ancillary sources, as
previously described. The carrying value of OMSR is amortized against service
fee income in proportion to estimated gross servicing revenues, net of
estimated costs of servicing, adjusted for expected prepayments. In addition
to this periodic amortization, the carrying value of OMSR associated with loans
that actually prepay is also charged against servicing fee income as
amortization. As a result of the latter charges, there may be considerable
variation in amortization of OMSR from period to period depending on actual
customer prepayment activity. In general, however, variations in the
amortization of OMSR will offset to some degree opposite changes in gains or
losses on sales of single-family mortgage loans, as previously described (refer
to "Loans Held for Sale").
The carrying value of OMSR recorded in PSB's Consolidated Balance Sheets
("mortgage servicing rights" or "MSRs") is subject to impairment because of
changes in loan prepayment expectations and in market discount rates used to
value the future cash flows associated with such assets. In valuing MSRs, PSB
stratifies the loans by year of origination, term of the loan, and range of
interest rates within each term. If, based on a periodic evaluation, the
estimated fair value of the MSRs related to a particular stratum is determined
to be less than its carrying value, a valuation allowance is recorded against
such stratum and against PSB's loan servicing fee income, which is included as
a component of mortgage banking revenue. A valuation allowance is not recorded
if the estimated fair value of a stratum exceeds its carrying value. Because
of this inconsistent treatment, PSB may be required to maintain a valuation
allowance against MSRs even though the estimated fair value of PSB's total MSR
portfolio exceeds its carrying value in total. The valuation allowance is
calculated using the current outstanding principal balance of the related
loans, long-term prepayment assumptions as provided by independent sources, a
market-based discount rate, and other management assumptions related to future
costs to service the loans, as well as ancillary sources of income.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method and is based
on the estimated useful lives of the assets varying primarily from 30 to 40
years on buildings, 5 to 10 years on furniture and equipment, and 3 years on
computer hardware and software. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to
expense as incurred. Gains or losses on disposition of property and equipment
are reflected in income.
56
FORECLOSED ASSETS
Real estate and other property acquired through, or in lieu of, loan
foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value (after deducting estimated
costs to sell) at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis.
Costs related to development and improvement of property are capitalized,
whereas costs related to holding property are expensed. After foreclosure,
valuations are periodically performed by management, and the real estate or
other property is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less
estimated costs to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in
any valuation allowance are included in loss on foreclosed real estate.
RETIREMENT PLANS
PSB maintains a defined contribution 401(k) profit sharing plan which covers
substantially all full-time employees.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes have been provided under the liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the
enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences are expected
to reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in the deferred tax
asset and liability and is a component of the provision for income taxes.
ADVERTISING AND PROMOTIONAL COSTS
Costs relating to PSB's advertising and promotion are generally expensed when
paid.
RATE LOCK COMMITMENTS
PSB enters into commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the
loan is determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments). Rate lock
commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be
derivatives. Rate lock commitments are recorded only to the extent of fees
received since recording the estimated fair value of these commitments would
not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
PSB, through a branch network of its banking subsidiary, provides a full range
of consumer and commercial banking services to individuals, businesses, and
farms in north central Wisconsin. These services include demand, time, and
savings deposits; safe deposit services; credit cards; notary services; night
depository; money orders, traveler's checks, and cashier checks; savings bonds;
secured and unsecured consumer, commercial, and real estate loans; ATM
processing; cash management; and financial planning. While PSB's chief
decision makers monitor the revenue streams of various PSB products and
services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a
companywide basis. Accordingly, all of PSB's banking operations are considered
by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
57
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Generally accepted accounting principles encourage all entities to adopt a fair
value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby
compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award
and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.
At December 31, 2004, the rules also allow an entity to continue to measure
compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of
accounting, whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted
market price of the stock at the grant date over the amount an employee must
pay to acquire the stock. However, effective during the quarter ending
September 30, 2005, GAAP will change to require all stock-based compensation to
be reflected as income (refer to "Future Accounting Changes").
PSB follows the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and uses the "intrinsic value method"
of recording stock-based compensation cost. Because stock options are granted
with an exercise price equal to fair value at the date of grant, no
compensation expense is recorded.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share
if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested
awards in each period:
2004 2003 2002
Net income, as reported $ 3,526 $ 4,806 $ 4,365
Add: Stock-based employee compensation
expense included in reported net income,
net of related tax effects 0 0 0
Deduct: Total stock-based employee
compensation expense determined under
the fair value based method for all awards,
net of related tax effects 0 0 (9)
Pro forma net income $ 3,526 $ 4,806 $ 4,356
Earning per share - Basic and diluted
As reported:

Diluted $ 2.03 $ 2.74 $ 2.48
Pro forma:
Basic $ 2.04 $ 2.76 $ 2.48
Diluted $ 2.03 $ 2.74 $ 2.47
58
The fair value of stock options granted in 2002 was estimated at the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes methodology. No options were granted in 2004 and
2003. The following assumptions were made in estimating the fair value for
options granted for the year ended December 31, 2002:
2002
Dividend yield 2.75%
Risk-free interest rate 3.83%
Weighted average expected life (years) 10
Expected volatility 7.59%
The weighted average fair value of options at their grant date, using the
assumptions shown above, was computed at $1.90 per share for options granted in
2002.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses,
gains, and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and
liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale
securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the
consolidated balance sheets.
FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 Share-Based Payment
in part to require all share-based awards and compensation to be reflected in
earnings. The amendment is effective for PSB during the quarter ending
September 30, 2005. The change is not expected to have a material effect on
PSB's financial condition or results of operations.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.
NOTE 2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others. This interpretation sets forth expanded disclosure
requirements in the financial statements about a guarantor's obligations under
certain guarantees that it has issued, including standby letters of credit
issued by PSB to customers in the normal course of lending operations. In
certain circumstances, a guarantor is required to recognize a liability for the
fair value of the obligation at the inception of the guarantee. FASB
Interpretation No. 45 was effective for PSB during 2003, but its adoption did
not have a material effect on PSB's financial condition or results of
operations.
59
NOTE 3 CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
PSB is required to maintain a certain reserve balance, in cash or on deposit
with the Federal Reserve Bank, based upon a percentage of deposits. The total
required reserve balance as of December 31, 2004 was approximately $3,330.
In the normal course of business, PSB maintains cash and due from bank balances
with correspondent banks. Accounts at each institution are insured by the

At December 31, 2004, 62 debt securities have unrealized losses with aggregate
depreciation of 1.1% from the Company's amortized cost basis. These unrealized
losses relate principally to the increase in interest rates and are not due to
changes in the financial condition of the issuer. In analyzing an issuer's
financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by
a government body or agency, whether a rating agency has downgraded the
securities, and industry analysts' reports. Since management has the ability
to hold debt securities until maturity (or the foreseeable future for
securities available for sale), no declines are deemed to be other than
temporary.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities available for
sale at December 31, 2004, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected
maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have
the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment
penalties.

2003, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and other borrowings
and for other purposes required by law.
During 2004 and 2003, respectively, proceeds from the sale of securities
totaled $4,926 and $8,839 with gross gains of $111 and $107 and gross losses of
$14 and $27. No securities were sold during 2002.
During December 2002, PSB transferred the entire securities held to maturity
portfolio to available-for-sale status. Securities held to maturity consisted
of municipal securities. At the date of transfer, municipal securities had a
net book value of $21,027 and a fair value of $22,056 for an unrealized gain of
$1,030. In accordance with current accounting standards, the transferred
municipal securities were recorded at fair value and stockholders' equity
increased $673 net of income tax effects at the date of transfer to recognize
additional unrealized gain on securities available for sale. PSB reclassified
municipal securities to increase available liquidity.

PSB originates and holds adjustable rate residential mortgage loans with
variable rates of interest. The rate of interest on these loans is capped over
the life of the loan. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, none of the approximately
$12,114 and $8,324 of variable rate loans, respectively had reached the
interest rate cap.
PSB, in the ordinary course of business, grants loans to its executive officers
and directors, including their families and firms in which they are principal
owners. All loans to executive officers and directors are made on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others and, in the
opinion of management, did not involve more than the normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features. Activity in such loans
is summarized below:
2004 2003
Loans outstanding at beginning $ 1,421 $ 3,822
New loans 5,145 1,460
Repayments (1,816) (3,861)

Under a secondary market loan servicing program with the FHLB, PSB provides a
credit enhancement guarantee to reimburse the FHLB for foreclosure losses in
excess of 1% of original loan principal sold to the FHLB in exchange for a
monthly fee. At December 31, 2004, PSB serviced payments on $160,225 of first
lien residential loan principal for the FHLB. At December 31, 2004, the
maximum Company obligation for such guarantees would be approximately $743 if
total foreclosure losses on the entire pool of loans exceed approximately
$2,951. Management believes the likelihood of a reimbursement for loss payable
to the FHLB to be remote and does not maintain any recourse liability for
possible losses.
NOTE 6 MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans
serviced for others were $160,225 and $152,718 at December 31, 2004 and 2003,

NOTE 11 RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
PSB has established a 401(k) profit-sharing plan for its employees. PSB
matches 50% of employees' salary deferrals up to the first 6% of pay deferred.
PSB also may declare a discretionary profit-sharing contribution. The expense
recognized for contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2004,
2003, and 2002 was $313, $327, and $280, respectively.
PSB maintains an unfunded, postretirement health care benefit plan which covers
the officers of PSB. After retirement, PSB will pay between 25% and 50% of the
health insurance premiums for former PSB officers until the officer reaches age
65 or the qualifying age for Medicare coverage. To qualify, an officer must
have at least 15 years of service, be employed by PSB at retirement, and must
be at least 62 years of age at retirement. The actual amount paid is based
upon years of service to PSB. During 2003, the plan's benefits were changed to
cover the period noted above. Prior to 2003, plan benefits continued until the
officer's death.
The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in the postretirement
health care benefit plan for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003:

NOTE 12 SELF-FUNDED HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN
PSB has established an employee medical benefit plan to self-insure claims up
to $25 per year for each individual with a $521 stop-loss per year for
participants in the aggregate. Coverages in 2005 will be $30 per individual
and $604 in the aggregate. PSB and its covered employees contribute to the
fund to pay the claims and stop-loss premiums. Medical benefit plan costs are
expensed as incurred. The liability recognized for claims incurred but not yet
paid was $58 and $63 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Health
insurance expense recorded in 2004, 2003, and 2002 was $389, $377, and $275,

PSB pays state income taxes on individual, unconsolidated net earnings. At
December 31, 2004, net operating loss carryforwards of the parent company of
approximately $722 existed to offset future state taxable income. These net
operating losses will begin to expire in 2012. A valuation allowance has been
recognized to adjust deferred tax assets to the amount of net operating losses
expected to be utilized to offset future income. If realized, the tax benefit
for this item will reduce current tax expense for that period. The valuation
allowance increased $6 and $4 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
During 2004, PSB resolved a Wisconsin state income tax audit initiated during
2003. Like many Wisconsin financial institutions, PSB has a Nevada based
subsidiary that holds and manages investment assets which have not been subject
to Wisconsin tax. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (the "Department")
instituted an audit program specifically aimed at out-of-state bank
subsidiaries, including PSB. The Department took the position that a portion
of the income of the out-of-state subsidiaries is taxable in Wisconsin. After
consideration of the cost to litigate and the potential risk of a substantial
loss in litigation, PSB decided to accept a standardized settlement offered by
the Department to Wisconsin banks with out-of-state subsidiaries with no
admission of wrongdoing. The settlement increased the provision for income
taxes after federal benefits by $150. PSB continues to operate the subsidiary
to manage a portion of the Bank's investment security portfolio.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently conducting an audit of PSB's
open tax returns. PSB has been assessed approximately $170 in taxes, interest,
and penalties for the tax years ending 1999 through 2002 as a result of the IRS
audit; however, this assessment is in the process of being appealed.
71
PSB believes all tax returns were filed appropriately and, at this time, no
additional tax expense has been recorded.
NOTE 14 COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND CREDIT RISK
CREDIT RISK
PSB is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit
risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.
PSB's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party
to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. PSB uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. These
commitments at December 31 are as follows:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.
Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon,
the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements. PSB evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case
basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension
of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the party. Collateral
held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant,
and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily
issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved
in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies as specified
above and is required in instances which PSB deems necessary. The commitments
are generally structured to allow for 100% collateralization on all letters of
credit.
Credit card commitments are commitments on credit cards issued by PSB and
serviced by Elan Financial Services (a subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp.). These
commitments are unsecured.
72
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
PSB grants residential mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans predominantly
in Marathon, Oneida, and Vilas Counties, Wisconsin. There are no significant
concentrations of credit to any one debtor or industry group. Management
believes the diversity of the local economy will prevent significant losses in
the event of an economic downturn.
CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, PSB is involved in various legal proceedings.
In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings
would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE 15 STOCK OPTION PLAN
Under the terms of an incentive stock option plan adopted during 2001, shares
of unissued common stock are reserved for options to officers and key employees
of PSB at prices not less than the fair market value of the shares at the date
of the grant. Options may be exercised anytime after the option grant's six
month anniversary. These options expire ten years after the grant date. As of
December 31, 2004, all 24,273 options outstanding were eligible to be
exercised. The following tables summarize information regarding stock options
outstanding at December 31, 2004 and activity during the three years ended
December 31, 2004.

for future grants to officers and key employees under the option plan approved
by the shareholders.
NOTE 16 CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
PSB and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory-and possibly additional
discretionary-actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on PSB's financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, PSB and
the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require PSB and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in
the following table) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December
31, 2004, that PSB and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements.
As of December 31, 2004, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized
the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Bank must
maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage
ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category.
PSB's and the Bank's actual and regulatory capital amounts and ratios are as
follows:

NOTE 17 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted earnings per share data are based on the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per
share are further adjusted for potential common shares that were dilutive and
outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of stock
options outstanding under the incentive plan. The dilutive effect of potential
common shares is computed using the treasury stock method. All stock options
are assumed to be 100% vested for purposes of the earnings per share
computations. The computation of earnings per share for the years ended
December 31 are as follows:
2004 2003 2002
Weighted average shares outstanding 1,725,136 1,740,106 1,758,249
Effect of dilutive stock options outstanding 14,757 12,854 4,474
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 1,739,893 1,752,960 1,762,723
Basic earnings per share $ 2.04 $ 2.76 $ 2.48
Diluted earnings per share $ 2.03 $ 2.74 $ 2.48
75
On November 19, 2002, PSB's stockholders approved an increase in authorized
shares from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000, allowing the Board of Directors to effect a
2 for 1 stock split paid on December 2, 2002. On December 16, 2003, PSB
declared a 5% stock dividend to stockholders of record on January 6, 2004,
which was paid on January 29, 2004. All references in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements to the number of common shares and per share
amounts for 2004, 2003, and 2002 have been restated to reflect the split and
the 5% stock dividend.
NOTE 18 RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS
The subsidiary Bank is restricted by banking regulations from making dividend
distributions above prescribed amounts and is limited in making loans and
advances to PSB. At December 31, 2004, the retained earnings of the subsidiary
available for distribution as dividends without regulatory approval was
approximately $8,728.
NOTE 19 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Current accounting standards require that PSB disclose estimated fair values
for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions
are set forth below for PSB's financial instruments.
The following methods and assumptions were used by PSB in estimating its fair
value disclosures for financial statements:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets
approximate fair value.
Securities: Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available.
If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted
market prices for similar securities.
Loans held for sale: Fair value is based on commitments on hand from investors
or prevailing market prices.
Loans: Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar
financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial,
residential mortgage, and other consumer. The fair value of loans is
calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity
using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate
risk inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on PSB's
repayment schedules for each loan classification. In addition, for impaired
loans, marketability and appraisal values for collateral were considered in the
fair value determination. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates
its fair value.
Mortgage Servicing Rights: Fair values are based on estimated discounted cash
flows based on current market rates and the anticipated repayment term of the
serviced loans or estimates of similar prices for similar rights.
Deposit Liabilities: The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such
as non-interest-bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW accounts, and money
market accounts, is equal to the amount
76
payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of certificates of
deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The
discount rate reflects the credit quality and operating expense factors of PSB.
FHLB Advances: The fair value of PSB's long-term advances (other than
deposits) is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on PSB's
current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing
arrangements.
Other Borrowings: The fair value of other borrowings with no stated maturity,
such as federal funds purchased, is equal to the amount payable on demand at
the reporting date. Fair value for fixed rate repurchase agreements is
estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates
currently being offered on repurchase agreements to a schedule of aggregated
expected maturities on the existing agreements.
Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments: The fair value of commitments would be
estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements,
taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the current interest
rates, and the present creditworthiness of the counter parties. Since this
amount is immaterial, no amounts for fair value are presented.
The carrying amounts and fair values of PSB's financial instruments consisted
of the following at December 31:

Financial assets:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 23,324 $ 23,324 $ 18,927 $ 18,927

Other borrowings 8,565 8,548 10,475 10,524
Accrued interest payable 891 891 713 713
LIMITATIONS
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
market information and information about the financial instrument. These
estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from
offering for sale at one time PSB's entire holdings of a particular financial
77
instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of PSB's
financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding
future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk
characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.
Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value
estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments
without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the
value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.
Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or
liabilities include premises and equipment, other assets, and other
liabilities. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of
the unrealized gains or losses can have a significant effect on fair value
estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K,
management, under the supervision, and with the participation, of PSB's
President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer (the
Treasurer), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of PSB's
disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon, and as of the date of such
evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer concluded that PSB's disclosure controls and procedures were effective
in all material respects. There have been no significant changes in PSB's
internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal
controls subsequent to the date PSB carried out its evaluation, nor were there
any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses identified which required
any corrective action to be taken.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION.
Not applicable.

PART III
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT.
Information relating to directors of PSB is incorporated into this Annual
Report on Form 10-K by this reference to the disclosure in PSB's proxy
statement dated March 11, 2005 relating to the 2005 annual meeting of
shareholders (the "2005 Proxy Statement") under the subcaption "Election of
Directors - Election of Directors."
Information relating to the identification of executive officers of PSB is
found in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Information required under Rule 405 of Regulation S-K is incorporated into this
Annual Report on Form 10-K by this reference to the disclosure in the 2005
Proxy Statement under the subcaption "Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock -
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance."
CODE OF ETHICS
PSB has adopted a Code of Ethics Policy for all directors, officers, and
employees and a Code of Compliance and Reporting Requirements for Senior
Management and Senior Financial Officers which covers PSB's Chief Executive
Officer, Treasurer (the chief financial and accounting officer), each Vice
President, and the Secretary. The Code of Compliance and Reporting
Requirements for Senior Management and Senior Financial Officers has been
posted on PSB's website under "Investor Relations" at www.psbwi.com. In the
event PSB amends or waives any provision of the Code of Compliance and
Reporting Requirements for Senior Management and Senior Financial Officers, PSB
intends to disclose such amendment or waiver at the website address where the
code may also be found.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Board of Directors has appointed an Audit Committee in accordance with
Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). Mr. Polzer (Chairman), Mr. Crooks, Mr. Fish, Mr. Gullickson,
and Mr. Sonnentag serve on the Audit Committee (PSB is not a "listed issuer" as
defined in SEC Rule 10A-3).
FINANCIAL EXPERT
The SEC has adopted rules which require PSB to disclose whether one of the
members of the Audit Committee qualifies under SEC rules as an "audit committee
financial expert." Based on its review of the SEC rules, the Board does not
believe that any member of the Audit Committee can be classified as an "audit
committee financial expert."
In order to qualify as an "audit committee financial expert," a member of the
Audit Committee must, for all practical purposes, have the attributes and
career experience of a person who has been actively involved in the
preparation, auditing, or evaluation of public company financial statements.
PSB's size and geographic location make it difficult to recruit directors who
have these specific
83
qualifications. While it may be possible to recruit a director having these
specific qualifications, the Board believes that each of its members should
have a familiarity with PSB's market area and an understanding of PSB's
customer base, in addition to meeting the other general criteria described
in the 2005 Proxy Statement under "Election of Directors - Nominations -
Qualifications," and that it is not in the best interest of PSB to nominate
a director who does not possess these characteristics. Moreover, the
Committee has the authority under its charter to retain or dismiss the
independent auditor and to hire such other experts or legal counsel as it deems
appropriate in order to fulfill its duties, and it therefore believes that it
has access to required financial expertise. The Board will consider any
potential candidates who meet its current general qualification criteria and
those of an "audit committee financial expert," but, for the time being, the
Board believes that the current members of the Committee, working with the
independent auditor, are qualified to perform the duties required in the
Committee's charter.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
Information relating to director compensation is incorporated into this Annual
Report on Form 10-K by this reference to the disclosure in the 2005 Proxy
Statement under the subcaption "The Board of Directors - Compensation of
