Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1 – Organization
 
PSB Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a federally chartered holding company formed on May 27, 2003 for the purpose of acquiring all of the common stock of Putnam Bank (the “Bank”) concurrent with the Bank’s reorganization from a mutual savings institution to the mutual holding company form of organization.  No shares were offered to the public as part of this reorganization.
 
On October 4, 2004, the Company issued 6,943,125 shares of common stock, 3,729,846 shares (53.7%) of which were issued to Putnam Bancorp, MHC and 3,089,691 shares (44.5%) of which were sold to eligible depositors of the Bank and others at $10.00 per share. In addition, the Company issued 123,588 shares (1.8%) to a charitable foundation established by the Bank.
 
On December 30, 2014, the Bank converted from a federally-chartered savings bank to a Connecticut-chartered bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System.  PSB Holdings, Inc. and Putnam Bancorp, MHC remain savings and loan holding companies.
 
NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q, and accordingly do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary, consisting of only normal recurring accruals and the elimination of all significant intercompany accounts, to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented.  The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for future periods, including the year ending June 30, 2015.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2014 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 24, 2014.
 
NOTE 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Capital.  In July 2013, federal banking regulators approved an interim rule to set minimum requirements for both the quantity and quality of capital held by banks. The interim final rule includes a new minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets of 4.5%, raises the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6% and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for all banking organizations. Additionally, banks must maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets to avoid being subject to limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The Company began complying with the final rule on January 1, 2015.  See ”Market Risk, Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on our income or the carrying value of our assets.  Our critical accounting policies are those related to our loans, allowance for loan losses, income taxes, goodwill and the impairment of securities.
 
Loans.  The Company’s loan portfolio includes residential real estate, commercial real estate, construction, commercial and consumer/other segments. Residential real estate loans include one-to four-family owner occupied loans, second mortgage loans and equity lines of credit.  Consumer/other loans include personal loans.  Loans that management has the intent and ability 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 income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.  Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.
 
The accrual of interest on all loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.  All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income.  The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.
 
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance consists of general, specific and unallocated components, as further described below.

General component
 
The general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by the following loan segments: residential real estate, commercial real estate, construction, commercial and consumer/other. Management uses a rolling average of historical losses based on a time frame appropriate to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment.  This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors: levels/trends in delinquencies; trends in volume and terms of loans; concentrations; changes in lending policies and procedures; experience/ability/depth of lending management and staff; loan rating migration; the effect of other external factors; changes in the value of underlying collateral; changes in the loan review system and national and local economic trends and conditions.
 
The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:
 
Residential real estate - The Company does not originate loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 100% and does not originate subprime loans. Loans originated with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80% generally require private mortgage insurance. All loans in this segment are collateralized by owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
 
Commercial real estate - Loans in this segment are primarily income-producing properties throughout New England.  The underlying cash flows generated by the properties are adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.  Management obtains rent rolls annually and continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.
 
Construction – Loans in this segment primarily include speculative real estate development loans for which payment is derived from sale of the property.  Credit risk is affected by cost overruns, time to sell at an adequate price, and market conditions.
 
Commercial – Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business.  Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business.  A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer spending, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.
 
Consumer/other - Loans in this segment are generally unsecured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.
 
Specific component
 
The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent or foreclosure is probable.  An allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer/other and residential real estate loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are 90 days or more past due or subject to a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) agreement.
 
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.
 
8
 

 

 
The Company periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans.  When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a TDR.  All TDRs are classified as impaired.
 
Unallocated component
 
An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.  The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general reserves in the portfolio.
 
           Goodwill.  The Company’s goodwill was recorded as a result of business acquisitions and combinations.  The Company’s goodwill (consideration paid in excess of fair value of acquired net assets) is reviewed at least annually to ensure that there have been no events or circumstances resulting in an impairment of the recorded amount of excess purchase price.  Adverse changes in the economic environment, operations of the Company or other factors could result in a decline in projected fair values.  If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount, a loss would be recognized to reduce the carrying amount to implied fair value.
 
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Securities.  Management periodically reviews all investment securities with significant declines in fair value for potential other-than-temporary impairment pursuant to the guidance provided by ASC 320-10 “Investments-Debt and Equity Securities”.  The guidance addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other-than-temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss.  It also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments.
 
Income Taxes.  The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted rates expected to be in effect when the amounts related to such temporary differences are realized or settled.  A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, based upon the available evidence including historical and projected taxable income, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee.

NOTE 5 – Earnings Per Share (EPS)
 
As presented below, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. If rights to dividends on unvested options/awards are non-forfeitable, these unvested awards/options are considered outstanding in the computation of basic earnings per share.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. For purposes of computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method is used.
 
The following information was used in the computation of EPS on both a basic and diluted basis for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.
 
At March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, there were 24 and 57 individual investment securities, respectively, with aggregate depreciation of 4.1% and 1.3%, respectively, from the Company’s amortized cost basis.  Management has the intent and ability to hold these securities until cost recovery occurs and considers these declines to be temporary.
 
The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in U.S. Government-sponsored agency bonds and U.S. government-guaranteed and government-sponsored residential mortgage-backed securities were primarily caused by interest rate fluctuations.  These investments are guaranteed or sponsored by the U.S. government or an agency thereof.  Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investment.  Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not to credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015.
 
The Company’s unrealized losses on investments in corporate bonds and other securities relate to investments in companies within the financial services sector.  As of March 31, 2015, the Company had five investments in corporate single-issuer trust preferred securities (TRUPs) with a total book value of $6.0 million and total fair value of $5.0 million, all of which were classified as available-for-sale.  The single-issuer trust preferred investments are evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment by performing a present value of cash flows each quarter.  None of the issuers have deferred interest payments or announced the intention to defer interest payments.  The Company believes the decline in fair value is related to the spread over three-month LIBOR, on which the quarterly interest payments are based, as the spread over LIBOR being received is significantly lower than current market spreads.  Management concluded the impairment of these investments was considered temporary and asserts that the Company does not have the intent to sell these investments and that it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the investments before recovery of their cost bases which may be at maturity.
 
For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, securities with other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in earnings consisted of non-agency mortgage-backed securities.  For these debt securities, the Company estimated the portion of loss attributable to credit loss using a discounted cash flow model.  Significant inputs included the estimated cash flows of the underlying loans based on key assumptions, such as default rate, loss severity and prepayment rate.  Assumptions can vary widely from security to security, and are influenced by such factors as loan interest rate, geographical location of the borrower, borrower characteristics and collateral type.  The present value of the expected cash flows was compared to the Company’s amortized cost basis to determine the credit-related impairment loss.  Based on the expected cash flows derived from the model, the Company expects to recover the remaining unrealized losses on these securities.

Credit Quality Information
 
The Company utilizes a nine grade internal loan rating system as follows:
 
Loans rated 1 - 5 are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.
 
Loans rated 6 are considered “special mention.”  These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.
 
Loans rated 7 are considered “substandard.”  Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged.  There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.
 
Loans rated 8 are considered “doubtful.”  Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.
 
Loans rated 9 are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.
 
On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans.  Annually, the Company engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments.  Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process.  Credit quality for residential real estate and consumer/other loans is determined by monitoring loan payment history and ongoing communications with the borrower.

The modifications on the commercial real estate loans provided additional funding to complete the infrastructure on a two-lot subdivision and provided additional funding to a borrower that had a prior modified loan.  Management performs a discounted cash flow calculation to determine the amount of impaired reserve required on troubled debt restructures.  Any reserve required is recorded through the provision for loan losses.
 
The following is a summary of troubled debt restructurings that have subsequently defaulted (defined as 30 or more days past due subsequent to restructuring) within one year of modification during the nine months ended March 31, 2015.  There were no troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted within one year of modification during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Management is focused on working with borrowers and guarantors to resolve non-accrual loans by restructuring or liquidating assets when prudent. Many of our commercial relationships are secured by development loans, in particular condominiums which have experienced a significant reduction in demand. The Bank reviews the strength of the guarantors; requires face to face discussions and offers restructuring suggestions that provide the borrowers with short term relief and exit strategies.  The Bank obtains a current appraisal on all real estate secured loans that are 180 days or more past due if the appraisal on file is older than one year. If the determination is made that there is the potential for collateral shortfall, an allocated reserve will be assigned to the loan for the expected deficiency. It is the policy of the Bank to charge off or write down loans or other assets when, in the opinion of the Credit Committee and Loan Review, the ultimate amount recoverable is less than the carrying value, or the collection of the amount is expected to be unduly prolonged.  The level of non-performing assets is expected to fluctuate in response to changing economic and market conditions, and the relative sizes of the respective loan portfolios, along with management’s degree of success in resolving problem assets. Management takes a proactive approach with respect to the identification and resolution of problem loans.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
The Company groups its assets measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value as follows:
 
Level 1 – Valuations for assets traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange.  Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets.
 
Level 2 – Valuations for assets traded in less active dealer or broker markets.  Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets.
 
Level 3 – Valuations for assets that are derived from other methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions.  Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets.
 
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.  These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s assets carried at fair value for March 31, 2015.
 
The Company’s mortgage-backed securities and other debt securities available-for-sale are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  For these securities, we obtain fair value measurements from independent pricing services.  The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.
 
Level 3 is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence.  In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.  Subsequent to inception, management only changes Level 3 inputs and assumptions when corroborated by evidence such as transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalization and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows.
 
The Company’s impaired loans and other real estate owned are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.  Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based upon appraisals of similar properties obtained from a third party and adjusted by management as needed.
 
The Company did not have any transfers of assets between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three or nine months ended March 31, 2015.

The amount of loans represents the carrying value of impaired loans net of related write-downs and valuation allowances for which adjustments are based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. The other real estate owned amount represents the carrying value for which write-downs are based on the estimated fair value of the property.
 
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 the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because a market may not readily exist for a significant portion of the Company’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.
 
There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis at March 31, 2015 and 2014 or June 30, 2014.
 
26
 

 

 
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of its financial instruments:
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents.  The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values based on the short-term nature of the assets.
 
Investment Securities and FHLBB Stock.  The fair value of securities held-to-maturity and available-for-sale is estimated based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments or available market evidence.  Ownership of Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) stock is restricted to member banks; therefore, the stock is not traded.  The estimated fair value of FHLBB stock is equal to its carrying value, which represents the price at which the FHLBB is obligated to redeem its stock.
 
Loans.  For valuation purposes, the loan portfolio was segregated into its significant categories, which are residential, commercial real estate, residential construction, commercial and consumer and other loans. These categories were further segregated, where appropriate, into components based on significant financial characteristics such as type of interest rate (fixed or adjustable). Fair values were estimated for each component using assumptions developed by management and a valuation model provided by a third party specialist.
 
The fair values of residential, commercial real estate, residential construction, commercial and consumer and other loans were estimated by discounting the anticipated cash flows from the respective portfolios. Estimates of the timing and amount of these cash flows considered factors such as future loan prepayments. The discount rates reflected current market rates for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The fair value of home equity lines of credit was based on the outstanding loan balances.  Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
 
            Loans held-for-sale: Loans held-for-sale are accounted for at the lower of cost or market and the fair value of loans held for sale based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted as required for changes in loan characteristics.
 
Deposits and Mortgagors’ Escrow.  The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity such as demand deposits, NOW, regular savings, and money market deposit accounts and mortgagors’ escrow accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand.  The fair value estimates do not include the benefit that results from the generally lower cost of funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market.  The fair value estimate of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.  The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits having similar remaining maturities.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances.  The fair values of the Company’s Federal Home Loan Bank advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current incremental borrowing rates in the market for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
 
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase.  The Company enters into overnight repurchase agreements with its customers. Since these agreements are short-term instruments, the fair value of these agreements approximates their recorded balance. The Company also secures term repurchase agreements through other financial institutions. The fair value of these agreements are determined by discounting the anticipated future cash payments using rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
 
Accrued Interest.  The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Instruments.  The fair value of off-balance-sheet mortgage lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.  In the case of the commitments discussed in Note 14, the fair value equals the carrying amounts which are not significant.
 
Summary of Fair Values of Financial Instruments.  The estimated fair values, and related carrying amounts, of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are exempt from disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

Overview
 
The Company’s results of operations depend primarily on net interest and dividend income, which is the difference between the interest and dividend income earned on its interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company also generates non-interest income, primarily from fees and service charges.  Gains on sales of loans and securities and bank-owned life insurance income are added sources of non-interest income.  The Company’s non-interest expense primarily consists of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, advertising, data processing, professional fees and other operating expenses.
 
Net loss amounted to ($309,000) or ($0.05) per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to net income of $187,000 or $0.03 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Non-interest income decreased $38,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014.  During the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not record any OTTI charges on investment securities.  Net interest income decreased $65,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014.  Net interest margin decreased 17 basis points to 2.21% from 2.38% when comparing the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  In addition, non-interest expense decreased $25,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014.  The provision for loan losses increased $565,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014.  Income tax expense decreased $147,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
 
Net income amounted to $115,000 or $0.02 per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to net income of $670,000 or $0.10 per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded OTTI charges on investment securities of $155,000 on non-agency mortgage-backed securities which contributed to non-interest income decreasing $209,000 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014.  Net interest income increased $99,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014.  Net interest margin decreased eight basis points to 2.24% from 2.32% when comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  In addition, non-interest expense increased $17,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014.  The provision for loan losses increased $595,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014.  Income tax expense decreased $167,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Interest and dividend income decreased $143,000 or 4.1% to $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.  This was primarily due to a decrease in yield on earning assets of 28 basis points to 3.01% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to 3.29% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The yield on investment securities decreased nine basis points to 2.03% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to 2.12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.  The yield on loans decreased 20 basis points to 4.13% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to 4.33% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.  This was partially offset by an increase in average interest-bearing assets of $20.5 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to quarter ended March 31, 2015. Average investment securities increased $8.5 million to $199.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to $191.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.  Average other earning assets increased $15.7 million to $20.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to $4.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.  Average loans decreased by $3.6 million to $228.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to $231.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

The yield on investment securities increased seven basis points to 2.02% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 1.95% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.  The yield on loans decreased 24 basis points to 4.15% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 4.39% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. This was partially offset by an increase in average interest-bearing assets of $19.7 million from March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015. Average investment securities increased $12.3 million to $199.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $187.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.  Average other earning assets increased $8.8 million to $13.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $4.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.  Average loans decreased by $1.4 million to $231.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $233.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Due to the large portion of fixed rate loans and securities in the Company’s asset portfolio, interest rate risk is a concern and the Company continues to monitor and adjust the asset and liability mix to take advantage of the benefits and reduce the risks or potential negative effects of a rising rate environment.  Management attempts to mitigate the interest rate risk through balance sheet composition.  See “Market Risk, Liquidity and Capital Resources – Market Risk.”
 
Provision for Loan Losses

Provision for Income Taxes
 
Income tax benefit amounted to $140,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to income tax expense of $7,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The effective tax rate was (31.2%) for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to 3.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, a result of pre-tax income decreasing $643,000 or 331.4% and other tax preference items. Tax expense is recorded on a year-to-date basis.  The effective tax rates differed from the statutory tax rate of 34% primarily due to the dividends-received deduction applicable to certain securities in our investment portfolio, tax-exempt municipal income and non-taxable bank-owned life insurance income.

The following tables set forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated.  The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume).  The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate).  The net column represents the sum of the prior columns.  For purposes of these tables, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

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

Net interest income at-risk measures the risk of a decline in earnings due to potential short-term and long- term changes in interest rates.  The table below represents an analysis of our IRR as measured by the estimated changes in NII, resulting from an instantaneous and sustained parallel shift in the yield curve (+100 and +200 basis points) at March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014.

The preceding income simulation analysis does not represent a forecast of NII and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results.  These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions, which are subject to change, including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including the yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows, and others.  Also, as market conditions vary prepayment/refinancing levels will likely deviate from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate changes on caps and floors embedded in adjustable rate loans, early withdrawal of deposits, changes in product preferences, and other internal/external variables.
 
Net Portfolio Value Simulation Analysis.  We compute the amounts by which the net present value of our cash flow from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items (the institution’s net portfolio value or “NPV”) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates.  Given the current low level of market interest rates, we do not prepare a net portfolio value calculation for an interest rate decrease of greater than 100 basis points.  A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 200 basis points equals two percent, an increase in interest rates from 3% to 5% would mean, for example, a 200 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below.
 
The tables below set forth, at March 31, 2015, the estimated changes in our net portfolio value that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the United States Treasury yield curve based on information produced by an external consultant.  Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.  This data is for Putnam Bank only and does not include any yield curve changes in the assets of PSB Holdings, Inc.

Liquidity
 
The term liquidity refers to the ability of the Company and the Bank to meet current and future short-term financial obligations.  The Company and the Bank further define liquidity as the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to fund loan originations, deposit withdrawals and operating expenses.  Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. The Bank’s primary sources of liquidity are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal and mortgage-related securities, and Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston borrowings.  The Bank can borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston based on eligible collateral of loans and securities.  The Bank had Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston borrowings as of March 31, 2015 of $52.6 million, with unused borrowing capacity of $53.6 million.  The Bank has an internal limit of wholesale borrowings to total assets ratio of 30.0%.  As of March 31, 2015, the ratio of wholesale borrowings to total assets was 10.9%.
 
The Bank’s primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Bank’s loan originations net of principal collections were $1.3 million and $2.3 million.  Purchases of securities totaled $33.7 million and $39.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
 
Loan repayments and maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds.  However, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities are strongly influenced by interest rates, general and economic conditions and competition in the marketplace.  These factors reduce the predictability of the timing of these sources of funds.  Deposit flows are affected by the level of interest rates, by the interest rates and products offered by competitors and by other factors.  The Bank monitors its liquidity position frequently and anticipates that it will have sufficient funds to meet its current funding commitments.
 
Certificates of deposit totaled $121.3 million at March 31, 2015. The Bank relies on competitive rates, customer service and long-standing relationships with customers to retain deposits.  Based on the Bank’s experience with deposit retention and current retention strategies, management believes that, although it is not possible to predict with certainty future terms and conditions upon renewal, a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.
 
In July 2013, federal banking regulators approved final rules that implement changes to the regulatory capital framework for U.S. banks.  The rules set minimum requirements for both the quantity and quality of capital held by community banking institutions.  The final rule includes a new minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, raises the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6% and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for all banking organizations.  Additionally, community banking institutions must contain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets to avoid being subject to limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.  The phase-in period for the rules began for the Bank on January 1, 2015, with full compliance with all of the final rule’s requirements phased in over a multi-year schedule.
 
At March 31, 2015, the Bank exceeded each of the applicable regulatory capital requirements.  The Company, as a federally chartered holding company, is not subject to capital requirements.  As of March 31, 2015, the most recent notification from the Office of Comptroller of the Currency, 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 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the in the following table.  There is also a requirement to maintain a ratio of 2.0% tangible capital to tangible assets.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes would change our category.  The following table shows the Bank’s required minimum capital ratios in order to be considered well-capitalized and the actual capital ratios as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014.

Management is not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that will have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company’s or the Bank’s liquidity, capital or operations, nor is management aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities which, if implemented, would have a material effect on the Company’s or the Bank’s liquidity, capital or operations.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
In addition to the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles are not recorded in our financial statements.  These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk.  Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, lines of credit, and letters of credit.
 
For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
