SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principal Business Activity

 

PSB Holdings, Inc. operates Peoples State Bank (the “Bank”), a full-service financial institution chartered as a Wisconsin commercial bank with eight locations in a primary service area including, but not limited to, Marathon, Oneida, and Vilas counties, Wisconsin. It provides a variety of retail consumer and commercial banking products, including uninsured investment and insurance products, long-term fixed rate residential mortgages, and commercial treasury management services.

 

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. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of PSB conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (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 GAAP 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. Estimates that are susceptible to significant change include the determination of the allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing right assets, and the valuation of investment securities.

 

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. Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and recorded at amortized cost. Amortization of the net unrealized gain on securities held to maturity that were transferred from securities available for sale is recognized in other comprehensive income using the interest method over the estimated lives of the securities. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on purchased securities held to maturity is recognized in interest income using the interest method over the estimated lives of the 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. 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. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts is recognized in interest income using the interest method over the estimated lives of the securities.

 

Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific-identification method.

 

Declines in fair value of securities that are deemed to be other than temporary, if applicable, are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of PSB to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

PSB sells substantially all long-term fixed-rate single-family mortgage loans it originates to the secondary market. The gain or loss associated with sales of single-family mortgage loans is recorded as a component of mortgage banking revenue.

 

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 Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) prior to November 2008, PSB retained 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 is 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 placed on nonaccrual status, additional income is recorded only to the extent that payments are received and the collection of principal becomes reasonably assured. Interest income recognition on loans considered to be impaired is consistent with the recognition on all other loans.

 

Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.

 

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 maintains the allowance for loan losses at a level 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 loans which have been judged to be impaired. 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. Loans currently maintained on accrual status but expected to be placed on nonaccrual or have their terms restructured in the near term are also considered impaired. 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.

 

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 resulting from information available to them at the time of their examination.

 

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 assets.

 

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.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

PSB services the single-family mortgages it sells to the FHLB and Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA). 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 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 payment 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 mortgage banking income when the obligation to service such loans has been retained. The initial value recorded for OMSR is based on the fair 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. During periods of falling long-term interest rates, prepayments would likely accelerate increasing amortization of existing OMSR against servicing fee income and impair the value of OMSR as described below.

 

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. If the periodic evaluation of impairment calls for a valuation allowance less than currently recorded, the decrease in the valuation allowance is recaptured, offsetting amortization from loan prepayments during the period and increasing mortgage banking revenue. 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..

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

 

As a member of the FHLB system, PSB is required to hold stock in the FHLB of Chicago based on the level of borrowings advanced to PSB. This stock is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The stock is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis. Transfer of the stock is substantially restricted.

 

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

 

PSB has purchased life insurance policies on certain officers. Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value. Changes in cash surrender value are recorded in other income.

 

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.

 

PSB may also recognize a liability for unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions. Unrecognized tax benefits represent the difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured in the financial statements. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized benefits are recorded as additional income tax expense.

 

Advertising and Promotional Costs

 

Costs relating to PSB’s advertising and promotion are generally expensed when paid.

 

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

All derivative instruments are recorded at their fair values. If derivative instruments are designated as hedges of fair values, both the change in the fair value of the hedge and the hedged item are included in current earnings. Fair value adjustments related to cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction is reflected in earnings. Ineffective portions of hedges are reflected in income. The fair value of derivative instruments is not offset against cash collateral paid to secure those instruments but is reflected as gross amounts outstanding on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

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 at fair value at period-end and classified as other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of rate lock commitments during the period are reflected in the current period’s income statement as mortgage banking income. The fair value of rate lock commitments includes the estimated gain on sale of the loan to the secondary market agency plus the estimated value of originated mortgage servicing rights on loans expected to be closed.

 

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

 

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 22. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. The fair value estimates of existing on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments do not include the value of anticipated future business or the values of assets and liabilities not considered financial instruments.

 

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’s checks; savings bonds; secured and unsecured consumer, commercial, and real estate loans; ATM processing; cash management; and wealth management. 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.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

PSB uses the 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 as expense over the service period, which is normally the vesting period.

 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

PSB’s accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is composed of the unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale, net of tax, unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate swaps used for cash flow hedges after reclassification of settlements of the hedged item, net of tax, and unamortized unrealized gain on securities transferred to securities held to maturity from securities available for sale, net of tax, and is shown on the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity.

 

Current Accounting Changes

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 810, Consolidation. New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 amended prior guidance to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new authoritative accounting guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial statements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 was effective January 1, 2010, but had no significant impact to PSB’s financial statements.

 

FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, amended prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860 was effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 2009, and did not have a significant impact on PSB’s financial statements.

 

FASB ASC Topic 310, Receivables. New authoritative accounting guidance issued in July 2010 under ASC Topic 310, Receivables, required extensive new disclosures surrounding the allowance for loan losses although it did not change any credit loss recognition or measurement rules. The new rules require disclosures to include a breakdown of allowance for loan loss activity by portfolio segment as well as problem loan disclosures by detailed class of loan. In addition, disclosures on internal credit grading metrics and information on impaired, nonaccrual, and restructured loans are also required. The period-end disclosures were effective for financial periods ending December 31, 2010, but deferred presentation of loan loss allowance by loan portfolio segment until the quarter ended March 31, 2011. PSB adopted the rules for loan loss allowance disclosures by loan segment effective March 31, 2011.

 

In April 2011, new authoritative accounting guidance concerning a creditor’s determination of whether a loan restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring was issued under ASC Topic 310, Receivables. The amendments clarified existing guidance concerning the creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether the concession was to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. The guidance clarified that a troubled debt restructuring includes modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties that did not otherwise have access to funds at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics as the restructured debt. In addition, a creditor may conclude that a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties even though the debtor is not currently in payment default if the debtor would be in default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without loan modification. The clarifying guidance is expected to result in more consistent application of required accounting and disclosure for troubled debt restructurings. These amendments were adopted by PSB during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, and applied retrospectively to loans restructured since January 1, 2011. PSB did not incur a change to measurement of impairment from retrospective application of these amendments to loans restructured since January 1, 2011.

 

FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. On January 1, 2009, new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, became applicable to PSB’s accounting for business combinations closing on or after January 1, 2009. ASC Topic 805 applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. ASC Topic 805 requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is required to be recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date when the amount of that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable doubt. ASC Topic 805 also requires acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as was previously the case under prior accounting guidance. Adoption of these accounting changes did not have a material impact to PSB’s financial statements.

 

FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, amends prior guidance to amend and expand the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities to provide greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under ASC Topic 815, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. To meet those objectives, the new authoritative accounting guidance requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 815 became effective for PSB on January 1, 2009, but did not have a significant impact on PSB’s financial statements.

 

FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. ASC Topic 855 defines (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855 first became effective for PSB’s financial statements issued after June 30, 2009, and did not have a significant impact upon adoption.

 

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. New authoritative disclosure guidance under Topic 820 was designed to increase transparency of fair value disclosures. Under the new guidance, transfers between fair value Levels 1 and 2 must be described and disclosed separately. In addition, the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements should present activity separately rather than as one net number. Also, fair value measurement disclosures should include disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities, which class may be a subset of a line item in the consolidated balance sheet. Lastly, disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring items are required for measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures were effective for interim periods beginning January 1, 2010, except for disclosures related to items in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for interim periods beginning January 1, 2011. The new disclosure did not have a significant impact on the presentation of PSB’s financial statements.

 

New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction and clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active. ASC Topic 820 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. The new accounting guidance also expanded certain disclosure requirements. PSB adopted the new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820 on June 30, 2009. Adoption of the new guidance did not significantly impact PSB’s financial statements.

 

ASC Topic 820 further provided guidance for measuring the fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. In such instances, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value utilizing a valuation technique that uses (i) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, (ii) quoted prices for similar liabilities, or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or (iii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the existing principles of ASC Topic 820, such as an income or market approach. The new authoritative accounting guidance also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. This new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820 was adopted on October 1, 2009, and did not have a significant impact on PSB’s financial statements.

 

FASB ASC Topic 825 Financial Instruments. New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires an entity to provide disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information (rather than providing only with annual financial statements) and amends prior guidance to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The new interim disclosures required under Topic 825 were first included in the June 30, 2009, financial statements. Adoption of this new disclosure did not have a significant impact on PSB’s financial statements.

 

FASB ASC Topic 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities, (i) changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Under ASC Topic 320, declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. PSB adopted the provisions of the new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 320 on June 30, 2009. Adoption of the new guidance did not significantly impact PSB’s financial statements.

 

Future Accounting Changes

 

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. In May 2011, new authoritative accounting guidance concerning fair value measurements was issued. Significant provisions of the new guidance now require both domestic and international companies to follow existing United States guidance in measuring fair value. In addition, certain Level 3 unobservable inputs and impacts to fair value from sensitivity of these inputs to changes must be disclosed. Lastly, the level of fair value hierarchy used to estimate fair value of financial instruments not accounted for at fair value on the balance sheet (such as loans receivable and deposits) must be disclosed. These new disclosures are effective during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, and are not expected to have significant impact to PSB upon adoption.

 

FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. In June 2011, new authoritative accounting guidance was approved that will require changes to the presentation of comprehensive net income. Effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, PSB will have the option to present comprehensive income as an extension of the basic income statement or in a separate statement directly after the basic income statement. Currently, comprehensive income is disclosed as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. PSB does not expect adoption of the new comprehensive income disclosure standard to have a significant impact on PSB’s comprehensive income presentation.

 

FASB ASC Topic 210, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. In December 2011, new authoritative guidance concerning disclosures of offsetting assets and liabilities such as those associated with derivative instruments was issued. The changes will require PSB to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of financial statements to understand the effects of netting arrangements on its financial position. PSB currently maintains derivative positions and related collateral at gross, rather than net amounts and does not expect a significant change when these disclosures are adopted. The new disclosures are effective for the quarter ended March 2013.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Management has reviewed PSB’s operations for potential disclosure of information or financial statement impacts related to events occurring after December 31, 2011, but prior to the release of these financial statements. Based on the results of this review, no subsequent event disclosures are required as of the release date.
