5 PSB Holdings, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 1 - GENERAL In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly PSB Holdings, Inc.'s ("PSB") financial position, results of its operations, and cash flows for the periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Any reference to "PSB" refers to the consolidated or individual operations of PSB Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary Peoples State Bank. These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted or abbreviated. The information contained in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in PSB's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, should be referred to in connection with the reading of these unaudited interim financial statements. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly 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. NOTE 2 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Under the terms of an incentive stock option plan adopted during 2001, shares of unissued common stock were reserved for options to officers and key employees at prices not less than the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant. These options expire 10 years after the grant date with the first options scheduled to expire beginning in the year 2011. No additional shares of common stock remain reserved for future grants under the option plan approved by the shareholders. As of March 31, 2006, 19,794 options were outstanding and eligible to be exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $16.07 per share. NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options. 6 Presented below are the calculations for basic and diluted earnings per share:
Three months ended March 31, (dollars in thousands, except per share data) - Unaudited 2006 2005 Net income $ 738 $ 1,040 Weighted average shares outstanding 1,705,290 1,721,058 Effect of dilutive stock options outstanding 9,831 10,558 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 1,715,121 1,731,616 Basic earnings per share $ 0.43 $ 0.60 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.43 $ 0.60
NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income as defined by current accounting standards for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 is as follows: Three months ended March 31, (dollars in thousands) - Unaudited 2006 2005 Net income $ 738 $ 1,040 Unrealized loss on securities available for sale, net of tax (138) (574) Reclassification adjustment for security gain included in net income, net of tax - (4) Comprehensive income $ 600 $ 462
NOTE 5 - LOANS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances plus net deferred loan origination costs less loans in process and the allowance for loan losses. 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 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. 7 Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized to income over the contractual life of the underlying loan. 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 that 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 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 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 homogenous loans, such as residential mortgage and consumer loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment. Specific allowances are based on discounted cash flows of expected future payments using the loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of 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 based on information available to them at the time of their examination. 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 and are carried as "Loans held for sale" on the balance sheet. 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. NOTE 6 - FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and 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 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. 8 NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has audited PSB's federal income tax returns for 1999 through 2002, and has disallowed a portion of Peoples State Bank's (the "Bank") interest deductions for such years. The IRS asserts that PSB owes an additional $184,000 of tax and interest (computed with interest through November 15, 2005). The IRS's contention is that municipal bonds owned by the Bank's Nevada investment subsidiary should be treated as owned by the Bank for purposes of computing the Bank's allowable interest expense. The IRS has made the same adjustment for other Wisconsin banks that have Nevada investment subsidiaries. In August 2005, PSB filed a petition with the United States Tax Court contesting such adjustment. PSB believes all tax returns are correct as filed and, at this time, no additional tax expense for this adjustment has been recorded. NOTE 8 - 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. NOTE 9 - 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. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis is presented to assist in the understanding and evaluation of PSB's financial condition and results of operations. It is intended to complement the unaudited financial statements, footnotes, and supplemental financial data appearing elsewhere in this Form 10- Q and should be read in conjunction therewith. Dollar amounts are in thousands, except per share amounts. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q describes the business of PSB Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary Peoples State Bank as in effect on March 31, 2006, and any reference to "PSB" refers to the consolidated or individual operations of PSB Holdings, Inc. and Peoples State Bank. Forward-looking statements have been made in this document that are subject to risks and uncertainties. While PSB believes these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, all such statements involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in this report. The assumptions, risks, and uncertainties relating to the forward-looking statements in this report include those described under the caption "Forward-Looking Statements" in Item I of PSB's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 ("2005 Form 10-K") and, from time to time, in PSB's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. PSB does not intend to update forward-looking statements. Additional risk factors relating to an investment in PSB common stock are described under Item 1A of the 2005 Form 10-K. EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW This overview summarizes PSB's financial trends and the primary opportunities and challenges faced by management. It is intended to assist the reader in better understanding these trends and management's plan to address them. In addition, the near-term issues on which management is most focused are outlined in general terms as a backdrop for more detailed statistical analysis presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 2006 first quarter net income was $.43 per diluted share, or $738, as compared to $.60 per diluted share, or $1,040, in the first quarter of 2005. Earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 included a special item from recording an interest rate swap at fair value without the ability to offset the liability against the hedged certificate of deposit. Marking the swap to fair value added $205 of expense. The net effect of this item was a decrease of $.07 per share, or $124. Excluding this item, diluted earnings per share would have been $.50 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Earnings for the prior year quarter ended March 31, 2005 included two special items. First, a pre-tax realized gain of $70 was realized on sale of Pulse ATM stock. Secondly, collection expenses were reduced $101 from a recovery of collection expenses recorded in 2004. The net effect of these items was an increase of $.06 per share, or $104. Without these items, diluted earnings per share would have been $.54 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Including all special items, return on average assets based on net income for the first quarter 2006 was .60% as compared to .91% for the same period in 2005. Return on equity based on net income for the first quarter 2006 was 8.34% as compared to 12.41% for March 2005. PSB's provision for loan losses was $135 in the first quarter of 2006, versus $150 in the same period last year. Credit quality remained stable during the March 2006 quarter, but provisions for loan losses increased over those seen during the June 2005 through December 2005 quarters due to loan growth. During 2005, provisions were low due in part to favorable resolution of some long-term problem loans that carried specific loss reserves. Going forward, quarterly provisions for loan losses are expected to be similar to that recorded in the March 2006 quarter. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, a loan relationship of $748 was placed on nonaccrual status, representing 30% of nonaccrual loans at quarter-end. Other real estate owned increased $509 during the March 2006 quarter from the addition of two unrelated properties previously reported as nonaccrual loans. 10 Cash levels declined during the March 2006 quarter as loans and securities increased while maturing wholesale funds and FHLB advances were not renewed. This activity eliminated the federal funds sold excess position that was carried for much of the past nine months. Going forward, investment securities are expected to remain flat with net loan growth expected to remain similar to the March 2006 quarter. Funding of loan growth is expected to come from a mix of local deposits and wholesale borrowings as dictated by local market conditions. If loan growth exceeds the pace seen during the March 2006 quarter and competition prevents substantial increases in local deposits, use of wholesale funding will increase, lowering the amount of available but unused liquidity as a percent of assets compared to prior years. Increased use of wholesale funding would also place pressure on net interest margin on future net earning asset growth. PSB's commercial treasury management initiative has increased average non- interest bearing and interest bearing demand deposits and savings by 16.0% in the March 2006 quarter compared to March 2005. During this period, average assets increased 8.0%. However, many of these deposits are in newly marketed high yield accounts that have provided funds at a cost less than wholesale funds, but substantially greater than on PSB's other core deposits. Improvements in cost of funds from these local deposits compared to wholesale funding have not yet offset the impact of accompanying thinly priced commercial loan growth. Tax adjusted net interest margin was 3.10% during the March 2006 quarter compared to 3.09% in the December 2005 quarter and 3.40% during the March 2005 quarter. The March 2006 quarter saw an increasing margin for the first time in eight previous quarters. However, net margin is expected to remain under pressure despite rising Federal Reserve discount rates due to competitive deposit pricing pressures, effects of the flat yield curve, and shifts in the deposit mix to higher yielding core accounts. The March 2006 quarter saw certain deposits from existing customers migrate to PSB's new, higher yielding money market account. Loan yield in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was 6.55% compared to 5.91% a year ago, an increase of 64 basis points. Cost of interest-bearing deposits was 3.44% during the first quarter 2006 compared to 2.30% a year ago, an increase of 114 basis points. During 2005, PSB entered into an interest rate swap to convert its fixed rate liability for a $10,000 brokered certificate of deposit to a variable rate. During 2005, PSB applied the "short-cut method" of fair value hedge accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("FAS 133"). During the March 2006 quarter, PSB determined this swap did not qualify for the "short-cut method" because in retrospect the related broker fee paid by the swap counterparty was determined to have caused the swap not to have a zero value at inception (which is required under FAS 133 to qualify for the "short-cut method"). Fair value hedge accounting allows a company to record the change in fair value of the hedged item, in this case, the brokered certificate, as an offset to the mark-to-market adjustment on the related interest rate swap. Hedge accounting under FAS 133 is not allowed for 2005 because the hedge documentation required for the "long-haul method" was not in place at the inception of the hedge. In addition, because current and prospective hedge effectiveness testing does not show the hedge to be "highly effective" in offsetting the change in fair value of the certificate, management determined the use of hedge accounting will likely not be allowed in future periods. Eliminating the application of fair value hedge accounting in the March 2006 quarter reversed the fair value adjustment that was made to the brokered certificate, generating a charge of $205 ($124 after tax benefits) during the quarter. Approximately $168 of this charge ($102 after tax benefits) was related to activity during 2005 which was not restated to prior periods due to the insignificant impact on previously reported 2005 results. The swap continues to be economically effective and any swap liability provision to expense represents a temporary non-cash timing difference to be recovered in future periods before swap maturity in October 2008. Declining net income compared to prior quarters is due to rising non-interest expenses while income remains flat. Wage and benefits expense has driven non- interest expense growth as all other expenses except wages and benefits have been stable compared to the previous three quarters. Wages and benefits during the March 11 2006 quarter were $154, or 9.3% greater than the average for the prior three quarters ending December 31, 2005. This increase has been driven by an increase in total FTEs of 13 positions since March 2005 to a total of 147 FTEs at March 31, 2006, and a 60% increase (increase of $86 per quarter) in health insurance expense compared to the prior three quarters ended December 31, 2005. PSB will soon complete a formal review of all employee positions. This initiative has already resulted in some employee attrition primarily in non-customer contact positions and additional attrition is likely to occur. DETAILED MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS BALANCE SHEET
At March 31, 2006, total assets were $500,331, an decrease of $5,827, or 1.2%, under December 31, 2005. Changes in assets since December 31, 2005 consisted of: Three months ended Increase (decrease) in assets ($000s) March 31, 2006 $ % Commercial, industrial and agricultural loans $ 6,729 7.8% Investment securities 2,395 2.9% Other assets (various categories) 759 2.1% Residential real estate mortgage loans 636 0.7% Bank-owned life insurance 46 1.0% Commercial real estate mortgage loans (1,502) -0.9% Cash and cash equivalents (14,890) -56.0% Total decrease in assets $ (5,827) -1.2%
Net loans increased $6,224 during March 2006 over December 31, 2005, a growth rate of 1.7%. The decline in total assets was from a reduction in federal funds sold as certain wholesale funding maturities were not renewed. Increases in net loans are expected to drive asset growth during the remainder of 2006. PSB continued to emphasize non real estate commercial loans during the first quarter 2006, and growth in this type of loan represented approximately 78% of the total net increase in loans and securities during the quarter. Commercial lending growth as a percent of total asset growth is not anticipated to continue at this pace during all of 2006.
The decrease in net assets impacted funding sources since December 31, 2005 as follows: Three months ended Increase (decrease) in liabilities and equity ($000s) March 31, 2006 $ % Other borrowings $ 1,444 32.1% Retail certificates of deposit > $100 536 1.0% Stockholders' equity 495 1.4% Other liabilities (various categories) (1,064) -27.2% FHLB advances (2,000) -3.7% Core deposits (including MMDA) (2,413) -0.9% Wholesale certificates of deposit (2,825) -4.1% Total decrease in liabilities and stockholders' equity $ (5,827) -1.2%
12 During the quarter, seasonal local deposit growth from municipalities allowed certain FHLB advances and brokered certificates to mature without being renewed. However, as loans grow during 2006, wholesale borrowings are expected to increase as competitive pressures make substantial local deposit growth difficult in future quarters.

The loan portfolio is PSB's primary asset subject to credit risk. PSB's process for monitoring credit risks includes quarterly analysis of loan quality, delinquencies, nonperforming assets, and potential problem loans. Loans are placed on a nonaccrual status when they become contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments. All interest accrued but not collected for loans (including applicable impaired loans) that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due have been collected and there is reasonable assurance that repayment according to the contractual terms will continue. The aggregate amount of nonperforming assets increased $507 (16.1%) to $3,655 at March 31, 2006 from $3,148 at December 31, 2005. Nonperforming loans also include restructured loans until six consecutive monthly payments are received under the new loan terms. Total nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased to .73% from .62% at December 31, 2005, and increased from .64% at March 31, 2005. PSB also tracks delinquencies on a contractual basis quarter to quarter. Loans contractually delinquent 30 days or more as a percentage of gross loans were .75% at March 31, 2006 compared to .98% at December 31, 2005, and .59% at March 31, 2005. The allowance for loan losses was 1.13% of gross loans at March 31, 2006 compared to 1.11% at December 31, 2005, and 1.18% at March 31, 2005. During the March 2006 quarter, a loan relationship of $748 was placed on nonaccrual status, representing 30% of total nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2006.

13 Nonperforming assets include: 1) loans that are either contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments, on a nonaccrual status, or the terms of which have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal (restructured loans), and 2) foreclosed assets.

LIQUIDITY Liquidity refers to the ability of PSB to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet PSB's need for cash at a reasonable cost. PSB manages its liquidity to provide adequate funds to support borrowing needs 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. Deposit growth is the primary source of funding. Retail and local deposits continue to comprise the bulk of asset funding and were 65.9% of total assets at March 31, 2006 compared to 65.5% of total assets at December 31, 2005 and 66.2% at March 31, 2005. Federal Home Loan Bank advances and broker and national certificates of deposit continue to represent a significant portion of PSB's total funding ability, and are expected to increase as a percentage of assets during the remainder of 2006.

14 A significant portion of the increase in core deposits over the prior periods came from high yield interest bearing demand (NOW) and money market deposits from local governments, companies, and private individuals. Some of these deposits are required to be collateralized and all carry an interest rate that adjusts with the overall market. Because the local governmental entities are dependent on local tax revenue and state funding for operations, balances within these accounts may be cyclical during the year. However, high-yield NOW and money market deposits increased $17,022, or 39% to $60,688 at March 31, 2006 from $43,666 at March 31, 2005. These high yield accounts have tiered interest rates which pay the highest rate only on account balances generally in excess of $100, but such highest rates are less than equivalent wholesale funding offerings. PSB originates retail certificates of deposit with local depositors under a program known as the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry System (CDARS) in which PSB customer deposits (with participation of other banks in the CDARS network) are able to obtain levels of FDIC deposit insurance coverage in amounts greater than traditional limits. For purposes of Table 4 above, these certificates are included in retail time deposits $100 and over and totaled $11,077 at March 31, 2006, $10,697 at December 31, 2005, and $7,671 at March 31, 2005. Although classified as retail time deposits in the table above, these balances are required to be classified as broker deposits on PSB's quarterly regulatory call reports. PSB's policy is to limit broker and national time (not including CDARS) deposits to 20% of total assets. Broker and national deposits as a percentage of total assets was 13.3%, 13.7%, and 11.8% at March 31, 2006, December 31, 2005, and March 31, 2005, respectively. The majority of the percentage increase in brokered certificates since March 31, 2005 was from one $10,000 transaction closed during April 2005. Broker deposits as a percentage of total assets is expected to increase for the remainder of 2006 as local deposit growth is not expected to fund anticipated loan growth.

Total FHLB advances in excess of approximately $60,000 require the purchase of additional FHLB stock equal to 5% of the advance amount. Under the FHLB's current capital plan, FHLB stock dividends have declined to a return near 3% of outstanding stock par value. Therefore, significant additional FHLB advances may carry additional cost relative to other wholesale borrowing alternatives due to the lower than market stock dividend rate currently paid. Table 8 below presents maturity repricing information as of March 31, 2006. The following repricing methodologies should be noted: 1. Money market deposit accounts are considered fully repriced within 90 days. Certain NOW and savings accounts are considered "core" deposits as they are generally insensitive to interest rate changes. These deposits are generally considered to reprice beyond five years. 2. Nonaccrual loans are considered to reprice beyond five 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. 4. Impact of rising or falling interest rates is based on a parallel yield curve change that is fully implemented within a 12-month time horizon. 16

The Asset/Liability Committee uses financial modeling techniques that measure the interest rate risk. Policies established by PSB's Asset/Liability Committee 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 the adequacy of PSB's 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. PSB's basic surplus, including available open line of credit FHLB advances not yet utilized at March 31, 2006, December 31, 2005, and March 31, 2005, was 5.4%, 10.6%, and 3.5% respectively. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, basic surplus declined due in large part to pledging of securities for deposits from governmental entities, which reduced available net liquid assets. During the second quarter of 2006, increased FHLB borrowings by PSB are expected to be offset by increased 17 available security collateral from a decline in seasonal municipal deposits and PSB anticipates a basic surplus near 5% at June 30, 2006. 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. Company 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 following table presents the projected impact to net interest income by certain rate change scenarios and the change to the one year cumulative ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities.
Table 9: Net Interest Margin Rate Simulation Impacts Period Ended: March 06 Dec 05 March 05 Cumulative 1 year gap ratio Base 99% 107% 97% Up 200 97% 105% 94% Down 200 107% 117% 102% Change in Net Interest Income - Year 1 Up 200 during the year -1.18% 0.69% 1.28% Down 200 during the year -1.03% -3.34% -0.56% Change in Net Interest Income - Year 2 No rate change (base case) 5.36% 2.85% -1.96% Following up 200 in year 1 3.57% 6.36% 2.46% Following down 200 in year 1 1.15% -7.71% -5.18%
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 certain 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 with a maturity 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. At March 31, 2006, December 31, 2005, and March 31, 2005, PSB's core funding utilization ratio was projected to be 51%, 51% and 49%, respectively, after a rate increase of 200 basis points and was therefore within policy requirements. CAPITAL RESOURCES Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2006 increased $495 to $35,980, or 1.4% from $35,485 at December 31, 2005. After stockholder stock buybacks of $123, net income retained during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $615. However, capital decreased $138 since December 31, 2005 from an increase in the unrealized loss on securities available for sale (net of tax effects) as increases in short-term rates reduced the value of fixed rate debt securities. Stockholders' equity included unrealized losses on securities available for sale, net of their tax effect, of $680 at March 31, 2006, compared to unrealized losses of $542 at December 31, 2005. All other net increases in capital totaled $18. 18 The adequacy of PSB's capital is regularly reviewed to ensure sufficient capital is available for current and future needs and is in compliance with regulatory guidelines. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, PSB's subsidiary bank's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, total risk-based capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratio were in excess of regulatory minimums and were classified as "well-capitalized." 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. Average tangible capital to average assets was 7.24% during the March 2006 quarter, 7.24% during the December 2005 quarter, and 7.25% during the March 2005 quarter. PSB maintains an annual, ongoing share repurchase program of up to 1% of outstanding shares per year and 4,000 shares at $30.75 per share were purchased under this program during the quarter ended March 31, 2006. 1,177 shares of treasury stock were re-issued to fund an exercise of employee stock options, exercised at a price of $15.81 per share. PSB anticipates that it will purchase another 13,000 shares as part of the ongoing program during 2006 on the open market at prices then in effect.

19 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $738, or $.43 for basic and diluted earnings per share. Comparatively, net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was $1,040, or $.60 per share for basic and diluted earnings per share. The March 2006 quarter saw declining earnings led by a $205 charge to record an interest rate swap at fair value. It was determined during the quarter that the hedge accounting previously applied on the swap and hedged broker certificate did not meet the requirements under current accounting rules. Therefore, the swap was marked to fair value while the hedged certificate was retained at net book value. After tax benefits, this charge decreased earnings $124. Quarterly net income before this special item was $862 in March 2006. Operating results for the first quarter of 2006 generated an annualized return on average assets of .60% (.70% before the swap adjustment) and an annualized return on average equity of 8.34% (9.75% before the swap adjustment), compared to .91% and 12.41% for the March 2005 quarter. The quarter ended March 31, 2005 benefited from two special items. The first was a large recovery of collection expenses on a problem loan that increased net income $61. In addition, a payout of PSB's investment on the sale of the Pulse ATM system (a cooperative) to Discover Financial Services increased net income $42. Quarterly net income before these special collection items and all gains on sale of investment securities was $937 in March 2005. The following Table 11 presents PSB's consolidated quarterly summary financial data. 20

21 NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income is the most significant component of earnings. Tax adjusted net interest income decreased $47 (1.3%) from $3,663 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 to $3,616 for the current quarter ended March 31, 2006, and declined $32 from $3,648 for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. Net interest income has been negatively impacted by a flat yield curve and local competitive pressures on deposit rates while loan growth consisted of lower margin high quality local commercial loans. Margin on earning assets declined from 3.40% in the March 2005 quarter to 3.10% during the March 2006 quarter compared to 3.09% in the recent December 2005 quarter. Asset yields have not kept pace with interest bearing funding yields which has decreased margin from a year earlier. Earning asset yields increased and were 6.20% at March 2006, 5.93% at December 2005, and 5.66% at March 2005. However, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 2.61% at March 2005 to 3.32% at December 2005, and 3.57% at March 2006. The increase in funding costs has been led by interest-bearing core deposits (excluding retail certificates of deposit), whose rate increased from 1.30% at March 2005 to 2.19% at December 2005 to 2.70% at March 2006, an increase of 140 basis points compared to one year ago (the Federal Reserve discount rate increased 200 basis points during this same period). This increase in the cost of core deposits is due to several factors in addition to rising short term market rates. Sale of high yield, high balance accounts has increased such balances to approximately 41% of total interest-bearing demand and money market balances at March 31, 2006 compared to approximately 31% of such balances at March 31, 2005. The high yield accounts carry rates significantly greater than standard retail core accounts. In addition, approximately 47% of the growth in the high yield accounts during this period replaced run-off in traditional core accounts, significantly increasing the cost of such existing deposits. The majority of the run-off in traditional accounts was simply a repositioning by customers into the new high yield accounts. The pace of repositioning by existing customers to the high yield accounts appears to be slowing after significant movement during the March 2006 quarter. During the March 2006 quarter, loans repriced at a pace approximating the changes in the 2 year to 5 year portion of the yield curve for the period. This was a substantial improvement relative to the overall market compared to the December 2005 and September 2005 quarters. Taken with anticipated deposit funding cost increases, the net interest margin is expected to remain similar to that seen during the March 2006 and December 2005 quarters for the remainder of 2006 at a targeted earning asset growth rate near 6% to 8% for the entire year. 22

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES Management determines the adequacy of the provision for loan losses based on past loan experience, current economic conditions, and composition of the loan portfolio. 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 and leases, or portions thereof, including impaired loans, are uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the allowance. The provision for loan losses was $135 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, and $150 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding were .00% during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. Nonperforming loans are reviewed to determine exposure for potential loss within each loan category. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is assessed based on credit quality and other pertinent loan portfolio information. The adequacy of the allowance and the provision for loan losses is consistent with the composition of the loan portfolio and recent credit quality history. The current quarterly level of loan loss provision is expected to continue during the remainder of 2006. NONINTEREST INCOME Quarterly noninterest income decreased $181 in the March 2006 quarter to $622 compared to $803 in March 2005. However, both periods included special items. Noninterest income was $827 for March 2006 before a $205 expense to adjust an interest rate swap to fair value. March 2005 noninterest income was $733 before a one-time income item of $70 received from Discover Financial Services on their purchase of the Pulse ATM system (in which PSB was a cooperative member). Before these special items, noninterest income increased 24 $94, or 12.8% over March 2005. Approximately one half of this increase was from $52 greater mortgage banking income during the quarter. The remainder of the increase was due primarily from additional service fee income and an increase in cash surrender value of life insurance. Service fees will be updated effective May 5, 2006 and are expected to increase service fee income modestly during the remainder of 2006. As a FHLB Mortgage Partnership Finance (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 on an aggregate pool basis. The following table summarizes loan principal serviced for the FHLB by the MPF program as of March 31, 2006.

PSB ceased originating loans under the MPF 100 program during November 2003. Since that time all originations have been through the FHLB MPF 125 closed loan program. Due to historical strength of mortgage borrowers in our markets, the original 1% of principal loss pool provided by the FHLB, and current economic conditions, management believes the possibility of losses under guarantees to the FHLB to be remote. Accordingly, no provision for a recourse liability has been made for this recourse obligation on loans currently serviced by PSB. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest operating expenses increased $302, or 11.4% to $2,942 in the quarter ended March 2006 compared to $2,640 during the quarter ended March 2005. However, during the March 2005 quarter, a reimbursement of collection fees on a problem loan was recovered, which decreased other noninterest expenses by $101. March 2005 noninterest expense before this special item was $2,741. Before the special item, noninterest expense in March 2006 was $201 or 7.3% greater than for March 2005. Increases in salaries and wages of $185 made up nearly all of the increase in noninterest expense over March 2005. Approximately $95 of the increase was in wages to fund growth in full time equivalent staffing, and $90 of the increase was in health insurance costs. 25 ITEM 3.
