Key Highlights:
- Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $517,000, or $0.25
per share, compared to net income of $792,000, or $0.39 per share,
in the third quarter of 2011. The Company recorded $225,000 net
income from securities sales in the third quarter of 2011.
- Net income for the first nine months of 2012 increased to $1.5
million, or $0.75 per share, compared to a loss of $59,000, or
($0.03) per share, in the first nine months of 2011.
- The Bank further increased capital ratios, continuing to exceed
"well-capitalized" requirements, with Tier 1 capital at 8.69%.
Total capital at September 30, 2012 was 13.26% of risk-weighted
assets.
- Provision for loan losses was down significantly for the nine
months.
- Total deposits increased $1.5 million, primarily due to $9.0
million increase in noninterest bearing accounts. Brokered CDs were
reduced by $3.4 million.
- Allowance for loan losses was 2.12% of loans, down slightly
from 2.28% at the end of 2011, due to asset quality
improvements.
Nonaccrual loans peaked in June 2011 at $14.5 million, up $9.3
million from December 31, 2010. Since June 2011, nonaccrual loans
were reduced to $10.5 million at December 31, 2011 and further to
$6.7 million at September 30, 2012.
President and CEO Eric L. Eishen stated: "I am pleased to
provide another positive quarterly earnings announcement. Interest
income continues to be suppressed by sustained low interest rates
and poor loan demand. However, fewer credit quality issues resulted
in a significant reduction in the provision for loan losses in
2012. The Bank continues to maintain a high reserve in our
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. It was only modestly reduced
in the first nine months of 2012. As the economy improves, the Bank
expects continued improvement in credit quality, and therefore
earnings. Management continues to focus on our core business.
Earnings in 2012 have been enhanced by strong mortgage refinance
activity, as rates continue to remain at historic lows."
President Eishen added, "Consumer and Commercial loan demand
continues to be weak. This is being experienced by the industry as
a whole. This low rate scenario is positive for the mortgage
origination segment of the Bank's business, but creates a very
challenging environment for the banking industry. I am concerned
that the ever increasing regulations and much tighter credit
standards imposed by actions of Congress, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae
and the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, primarily related
to mortgage finance, pose significant risk to this business line
and the economic recovery as a whole. I am pleased we have
increased our interest margin on loans originated for portfolio.
But I expect this is going to be exceedingly more difficult in the
coming months if rates continue at the current levels. The Bank is
not going to change its risk profile in an attempt to maintain the
interest margin, and as a result we may see pressure on this margin
in late 2012 and 2013, due to our adherence to rational pricing and
loan quality."
President Eishen concluded, "Bank management continues to focus
on building our franchise value and capital, in preparation for the
proposed capital rules under consideration. We continue to be
focused on controlling expenses as evidenced in our performance.
There continues to be much uncertainty on the economy, future
regulations and capital standards for the banking industry."
Three months ended September 30, 2012 vs. three
months ended September 30, 2011 - Net income for the three
months ended September 30, 2012 was $517,000, or $0.25 per share,
compared to net income of $792,000, or $0.39 per share, for the
three months ended September 30, 2011. Most of the decrease is
attributed to gains on sales of securities recorded in the three
months ended September 30, 2011. The tax equivalent net interest
margin increased to 3.54% in 2012 from 3.33% in 2011. The increase
in tax equivalent net interest margin is primarily due to the
Bank's sales of low-margin investment securities, mostly in the
third quarter of 2011.
Noninterest income was $1.2 million in the third quarter of
2012, compared to $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2011. Most

third quarter of 2012, compared to $308,000 in the third quarter of
2011. Mortgage banking activities also increased to $286,000 from
$235,000, as loan sale volume continued relatively strong.
Noninterest expense decreased $266,000 in 2012, compared to
2011, primarily due to $195,000 of prepayment penalties on
repurchase agreements recorded in 2011. Salaries and employee
benefits decreased $167,000, or 9.7%, to $1.6 million.
The Company recorded $63,000 provision for loan losses of in the
three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a negative
provision of $156,000 in the same quarter of 2011. Net charge-offs
were $43,000 in 2012, compared to $118,000 in 2011. The net
activity in the ALLL decreased the total allowance to 2.12% of
gross loans at September 30, 2012, compared to 2.28% at December
31, 2011.
Nine months ended September 30, 2012 vs. nine
months ended September 30, 2011 - Net income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.5 million, or $0.75 per
share, compared to a net loss of $59,000, or ($0.03) per share, for
the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The tax equivalent net
interest margin increased to 3.53% in 2012 from 3.14% in 2011. The
increase in tax equivalent net interest margin is primarily due to
the Bank's sales of low-margin investment securities, mostly in the
third quarter of 2011.
Noninterest income was $3.4 million in the first nine months of
2012, compared to $3.6 million in the first nine months of 2011,
primarily due to $536,000 (pre-tax) gains on sales of securities
recorded in 2011. Mortgage banking activities increased $237,000 to
$850,000, as loan sale volume continued relatively strong.
Investment brokerage commission income also increased by $220,000
to $1.1 million.
Noninterest expense decreased $1.0 million in 2012, compared to
2011. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $451,000, or 8.8%,
to $4.7 million. Real estate owned expense decreased by $340,000,
to $538,000, as the Company's write downs of the carrying value of
foreclosed assets reduced. The Company also recorded $195,000 in
2011 for prepayment penalties on repurchase agreements.
The Company recorded a $54,000 provision for loan losses in the
first nine months of 2012, compared to $1.7 million in the first
nine months of 2011. Net charge-offs were $454,000 in 2012,
compared to $2.0 million in 2011.
Total assets increased to $317.4 million at September 30, 2012
from $314.3 million at December 31, 2011, primarily in
interest-earning deposits. Loans also increased $1.0 million from
December 31, 2011, primarily in residential mortgage loans.
Noninterest-bearing deposits increased to $42.7 million at
September 30, 2012 from $33.6 million at December 31, 2011.
Interest-bearing deposits decreased to $193.5 million at September
30, 2012 from $201.0 million at December 31, 2011. The decreases in
deposits included $3.4 million decrease in brokered CDs. The number
of checking accounts continues to increase, as the Bank continues
to expand its customer base. Most consumer checking account
customers prefer the Bank's "Free Checking" (noninterest-bearing)
account, which charges no monthly account fee.
Total equity was $26.5 million at September 30, 2012, compared
to $24.9 million at December 31, 2011. Book value per share
increased to $13.04 at September 30, 2012 from $12.34 at December
31, 2011.
During the worst part of the national financial crisis, the
Company began including expanded ratios for the Bank's asset
quality in quarterly press releases. Because the Company believes
these ratios remain meaningful and relevant to investors, the
Company has elected to continue providing them.
