Key Highlights for the first quarter of 2012:
- Net income for the first quarter of 2012 increased to $502,000,
or $0.25 per share, compared to a loss of $117,000, or $0.06 per
share, in the first quarter of 2011.
- The Bank further increased capital ratios, exceeding
"well-capitalized" requirements, with Tier 1 capital at 8.16%.
Total capital at March 31, 2012 was 12.61% of risk-weighted
assets.
- Provision for loan losses was down significantly.
- Total deposits increased 4.7% to $245.5 million, mostly in
temporary municipal deposits.
- Allowance for loan losses was 2.25% of loans, down slightly
from 2.28% at the end of 2011.
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
$10.3 million at March 31, 2012.
President and CEO Eric L. Eishen stated: "I am pleased to
provide a very positive first quarter financial performance. Loan
quality is improving and core earnings are stable. The net interest
income, non-interest income and non-interest expense have all been
managed very closely. Our first quarter income is equivalent to the
full year income for 2011. 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 the first quarter. The Bank continues
to maintain a significant reserve in our Allowance for Loan and
Lease Losses. It was only modestly reduced in the quarter. 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 the first quarter were also enhanced
by strong mortgage refinance activity as rates continue to remain
at historic lows."
Three months ended March 31, 2012 vs. three
months ended March 31, 2011 - Net income for the three months
ended March 31, 2012 was $502,000, or $0.25 per share, compared to
a net loss of $117,000, or $0.06 per share, for the three months
ended March 31, 2011. The tax equivalent net interest margin
increased to 3.52% in 2012 from 3.02% 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 $1.1 million in the first quarters of
2012 and 2011. Mortgage banking activities increased to $259,000,
as loan sale volume continued relatively strong.
Noninterest expense decreased $84,000 in 2012, compared to 2011.
Salaries and employee benefits decreased $81,000, or 4.9%, to $1.6
million. Real estate owned expense increased to $135,000, as the
Company wrote down the carrying value of foreclosed assets.
The Company provided $2,000 to the allowance for loan losses in
the first three months of 2012, compared to $882,000 in the same
quarter or 2011. Net charge-offs were $95,000 in 2012, compared to
$734,000 in 2011. The $95,000 net charge-offs in the first quarter
of 2012 represent the lowest quarterly net charge-offs in over
three years. The net activity in the ALLL decreased the total
allowance to 2.25% of gross loans at March 31, 2012, compared to
2.28% at December 31, 2011.
Total assets increased to $326.4 million at March 31, 2012 from
$314.3 million at December 31, 2011, primarily in cash and cash
equivalents. Loans decreased $1.3 million from December 31, 2011,
primarily in Home Equity Lines of Credit and Commercial Nonmortgage
Loans.
Noninterest-bearing deposits increased to $37.4 million at March
31, 2012 from $33.6 million at December 31, 2011. Interest-bearing
deposits also increased to $208.1 million at March 31, 2012 from
$201.0 million at December 31, 2011. These increases in deposit
accounts are typical for the first quarter of each year, as
municipalities deposit property tax revenues. Municipalities
historically have reinvested those funds elsewhere during the
second quarter of the year, and Management expects that pattern to
continue for 2012. The number of checking accounts continues to
increase, as the Bank continues to expand its customer base.
Total equity was $25.4 million at March 31, 2012, compared to
$24.9 million at December 31, 2011. Book value per share increased
to $12.56 at March 31, 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 are meaningful and relevant to investors, the Company
has elected to continue providing them.
