Ralph J. Lober, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with our strong quarterly and year-end results. We continue to provide shareholders’ with consistent results throughout the economic downturn. The Bank has been able to achieve strong loan and deposit growth, reduced interest expense through lower cost of funds, controlled non-interest expenses and had improvement in non-performing assets. We continue as a strong community-based institution providing exceptional service, products and technology throughout our ten markets. This strength is reflected in the continued payment of the quarterly cash dividend and our well capitalized position.”
Assets at June 30, 2010 totaled $263.39 million, an increase of $11.53 million from June 30, 2009. From June 30, 2009, total loans increased by $14.14 million and deposits increased $12.26 million.
Within the securities portfolio, the Bank owns a trust preferred security with an adjusted amortized cost of $572 thousand after an impairment charge of $410 thousand. Since the expected cash flows were below the recorded amortized cost of the trust preferred security an impairment loss of $130 thousand was recognized during the three month period ended June 30, 2010, bringing the total impairment loss recognized to $410 thousand for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2010. Management continues to closely monitor this security for any further adverse changes.
Non-performing assets were $2.37 million at June 30, 2010, compared with $2.73 million at March 31, 2010 and $2.99 million at June 30, 2009.
The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans at June 30, 2010 was 1.31% up from 1.24% at June 30, 2009. “There are still concerns over the economic recovery and the real estate market; therefore, we continue to closely monitor our loan and investment portfolios. We believe, based on recent information, the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to meet probable incurred losses,” commented Lober.
