OXFORD, Mich., Aug. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oxford Bank Corporation (OTC:OXBC) (BULLETIN BOARD: OXBC) , the holding company for Oxford Bank, today announced total operating results for the second quarter and first half of 2008. In the second quarter, the Corporation posted a net loss of $1,914,000 or $1.65 per share. For the same three-month period in 2007, earnings were reported of $581,000 or $0.46 per share. During the first six months of the year a net loss of $2,933,000 or $2.54 per share was recorded compared to net income of $994,000 or $0.78 per share for the same period in 2007. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2008 was $3,606,000, an increase of 8.6-percent over the $3,320,000 reported in the first quarter of 2008, and compares favorably to the $3,868,000 reported in the second quarter of 2007. Net revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income) during the second quarter of 2008 was $4,200,000 compared with net revenue of $4,019,000 in the first quarter of 2008, a 4.5-percent increase from the prior quarter. Net revenue for the second quarter of 2007 was $4,920,000. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, the Bank posted net revenue of $8,219,000 compared to $9,580,000 for same period in 2007. These revenue results were accumulated despite a strategic $83.5 million decline in total assets from June 30, 2007 and a $38.4 million decrease in total assets from March 31, 2008. Jeffrey M. Davidson, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of the Corporation, issued the results and commented, "These numbers tell us that management's pro-active decision initiated more than a year ago to shrink the size of the Bank in the face of declining loan demand and poor local economic conditions has been effective in maintaining our net interest margin. As local loan demand has deteriorated, we have implemented an aggressive, but disciplined, deposit pricing strategy. While this action has resulted in a 15.7-percent drop in total deposits over the past twelve months, it has not negatively impacted our liquidity position. Our attention to interest-related expenses has paid dividends as our net interest spread and our net interest margin continue to witness steady improvement. As of June 30, 2008 our margin was 3.82-percent, compared to 3.00-percent in January of this year and 3.24-percent in June of 2007. Despite a substantial decline in earning assets, Oxford Bank continues to improve the net revenue stream of the organization." Davidson added, "Unfortunately, the aforementioned revenues have not translated into profits this year; and won't for the remainder of 2008. This money, along with some of our retained earnings, has been used to compensate for losses in our residential loan portfolio. Thus far, the Bank has allocated $4.375 million to its loan loss reserve. While these developments are clearly disappointing, especially as it relates to our ability to report net income, we feel we have been aggressive and pro-active in dealing with, and preparing for, the influx of foreclosed homes into 'other real estate owned (ORE).' It is important to note that loans written in the last year, under our new underwriting standards, are not part of this issue. Once we are able to get out in front of the foreclosure problems plaguing our region, we will be in good position to return Oxford Bank to profitability." Total consolidated assets as of June 30, 2008 were $406,101,000, a 17.1-percent decline from the same period last year. Portfolio loans declined $55.0 million to $301,537,000 during the past twelve months and deposits were $370,334,000 as of June 30, 2008 compared to $439,207,000 as of June 30, 2007.
