PAOLA, Kan., May 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Team Financial, Inc. (the "Company", Nasdaq: TFIN) today announced net income of $1,168,000, or $.32 basic and $.32 diluted income per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of 29.9%, compared to $899,000 or $.22 basic and diluted income per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased approximately $491,000, or 8.6%, from the same period last year, primarily due to the increase in loans offset by a decrease in net interest margin of 3 basis points. Non-interest income decreased approximately $44,000, or 2.5% from the same three month period last year, primarily due to a decrease in gain on sales of mortgage loans and a decrease in service charges. Non-interest expense increased $110,000, or 1.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2007 from the same period last year, primarily due to an increase associated with the preparation for the April 16th opening of a new branch in Falcon, Colorado and increased professional fees. Loans receivable increased approximately $17.7 million, or 3.6%, to $504.2 million at March 31, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in construction and land development loans. The provision for loan losses was $230,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $275,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans was 1.16% at March 31, 2007 and 1.17% at December 31, 2006, and non-performing loans were 1.15% of total loans at March 31, 2007 and 2.06% of total loans at December 31, 2006. The substantial decrease in non-performing loans during the first quarter of 2007 was attributable to the pay-off of a group of loans of approximately $2.2 million that were delinquent as of December 31, 2006. "Our $17.7 million in loan growth coupled with an improvement in our loan portfolio quality during the first quarter show that our continued focus on controlled growth has been successful, and our nearly 30% increase in earnings over the same period last year is reflecting that. We plan to continue our growth and our expansion into high-growth markets throughout 2007 with the opening of new branches. In connection with this new growth, our new location in Falcon, Colorado opened on April 16, 2007 and we will also open new branches in Ottawa, Kansas and Lees Summit, Missouri this summer," said Robert J. Weatherbie, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Team Financial, Inc. On February 6, 2007, a complaint was filed by International Insurance Brokers, LTD in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma against the Company and certain officers of the Company, claiming breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, fraud and misrepresentation and civil conspiracy in connection with the sale of the insurance agency subsidiary that was sold to International Insurance Brokers effective December 31, 2004. Damages sought by the defendants include not less than $10 million in actual damages, not less than $10 million for consequential, and not less than $10 million for punitive damages.
