QUARTERLY REPORT
Dear Shareholder:
As expected, the first quarter of 2013 proved to be very challenging. We anticipated a reduction in net interest income as cash flows received from maturing investment securities and loan payments were reinvested at substantially lower rates. As a result, first quarter net income of $4,706,000 represents a decline of 15.77% over the corresponding period of 2012. However, Return on Average Assets (ROAA) was an excellent 1.50% and Return on Average Equity (ROAE) was a respectable 10.31%. Non-interest income excluding security gains remained strong with a 5.14% increase over the corresponding period of 2012. Non-interest expenses excluding loss on prepayment of borrowings rose a modest 1.66% over the corresponding period of 2012.
The Balance Sheet remained relatively flat with modest decreases to loans and deposits. The decrease in loans is mainly the result of selling a majority of the originated residential mortgages to the secondary mortgage market to reduce interest rate risk. The outstanding balance of residential mortgages that were sold in the secondary mortgage market while maintaining the servicing rights increased $11,757,000 during the quarter, and we generated a net gain from sale of loans of $545,000. The majority of the deposit decrease is from time deposits that we consciously did not bid up due to the lack of prudent investment alternatives offering a commensurate return for the assumed interest rate and credit risk. We continued to reduce long-term borrowings (repurchase agreements) by pre-paying $7,000,000 of debt while incurring a pre-payment penalty of $1,023,000. The pre-payment penalty was offset by harvesting $1,159,000 of security gains which were primarily the result of the sale of a previously written off trust-preferred security and the sale of bank stocks. This pre-payment of debt will slightly improve our net interest margin going forward.
The bank is committed to growing appropriately priced loans and deposits. We are currently investing considerable resources in training our employees on techniques to deepen and broaden relationships with existing and prospective customers. We have refused to compromise credit quality or take extension risk in pursuit of short-term profits. While I am disappointed in reporting earnings that are less than the corresponding period of 2012, I am pleased that the ROAA is still strong and that management is working diligently to enhance shareholder value without assuming undue credit and/or interest rate risk.
I solicit your continued support and welcome your questions and comments.
