Great Southern Bancorp, Inc. Reports Preliminary Quarterly Earnings of
$0.51 Per Diluted Common Share
Preliminary Financial Results for the Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 2012:
| · | Capital: The capital position of the Company continues to be strong after the InterBank FDIC-assisted acquisition, significantly exceeding the “well capitalized” thresholds established by regulators. On a preliminary basis, as of September 30, 2012, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.0%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 14.8%, and total risk-based capital ratio was 16.0%. |
| · | Total Loans: Total gross loans, including FDIC-covered loans, increased $207 million from December 31, 2011, mainly due to the loans acquired in the InterBank FDIC-assisted acquisition completed in April 2012. Decreases in the FDIC-covered loan portfolios acquired in 2009 and 2011 totaled $102 million. Excluding covered loans and mortgage loans held for sale, total loans increased $40 million from December 31, 2011, to September 30, 2012, primarily in the areas of multi-family residential mortgage loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans, partially offset by decreases in construction and land development loans. |
| · | Asset Quality: Non-performing assets and potential problem loans, excluding those covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements, totaled $121.0 million at September 30, 2012, down $9.0 million from June 30, 2012, and down $7.7 million from December 31, 2011. Non-performing assets, excluding FDIC-covered non-performing assets, at September 30, 2012, were $76.9 million, an increase of $3.4 million from $73.5 million at June 30, 2012, and an increase of $2.5 million from $74.4 million at December 31, 2011. Non-performing assets were 1.89% of total assets at September 30, 2012, compared to 1.74% at June 30, 2012. |
| · | Net Interest Income: Net interest income for the third quarter of 2012 increased $1.7 million to $43.3 million compared to $41.6 million for the third quarter of 2011. Net interest margin was 4.75% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to 5.37% for the third quarter in 2011 and 4.36% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. These changes were primarily the result of a reduction in the additional yield accretion on acquired loans due to improvements in expected cash flows in the third quarter of 2012 when compared to the third quarter of 2011, but an increase when compared to the second quarter of 2012. Net interest income was also impacted by lower average yields on loans and investments in the third quarter of 2012, partially offset by lower rates on deposits. The positive impact on net interest margin from the additional yield accretion on acquired loan pools that was recorded during the period was 109 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, 184 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, and 86 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. For further discussion on the additional yield accretion of the discount on acquired loan pools, see the “Net Interest Income” section of this release. |
Springfield, Mo. – Great Southern Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:GSBC), the holding company for Great Southern Bank, today reported that preliminary earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, were $0.51 per diluted common share ($7.0 million available to common shareholders) compared to $0.33 per diluted common share ($4.4 million available to common shareholders) for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Preliminary earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, were $2.62 per diluted common share ($35.8 million available to common shareholders) compared to $1.08 per diluted common share ($14.6 million available to common shareholders) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, annualized return on average equity was 9.42%; annualized return on average assets was 0.70%; and net interest margin was 4.75% compared to 9.78%, 0.76% and 5.37%, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, annualized return on average equity was 16.74%; annualized return on average assets was 1.21%; and net interest margin was 4.47% compared to 9.35%, 0.71% and 5.21%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in annualized return on average equity was primarily attributable to the preliminary, one-time gain on the InterBank FDIC-assisted transaction recorded during the 2012 period.
President and CEO Joseph W. Turner commented, “We are pleased overall with the Company’s third quarter performance. Operationally, we successfully completed the systems conversion of InterBank, the Minnesota-based institution we acquired in an FDIC-assisted transaction in April 2012. Now, all Great Southern customers can bank at any of our 107 banking centers in our six-state franchise.
“We’ve seen signs of improvement in loan demand in some of our markets in a highly competitive landscape and challenging operating environment. Total gross loans, including FDIC-covered loans, increased by $207 million since the end of 2011, mainly due to the InterBank transaction and some organic growth. Excluding covered loans and mortgages held for sale, total loans increased $40 million from December 31, 2011, with loan balances increasing in the areas of multi-family residential mortgage loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans and decreasing in the areas of construction and land development loans.
“The resolution of nonperforming assets continues to be a priority. Overall, nonperforming assets and potential problem loans (excluding FDIC covered assets) have decreased by $7.7 million from the end of 2011 and decreased by $9.0 million from the end of the second quarter 2012. Since the quarter ended June 30, 2012, nonperforming loans increased $2.7 million, foreclosed assets increased $641,000 and potential problem loans decreased $12.3 million. We’re pleased that potential problem loans have gone down; however, we do expect non-performing assets, potential problem loans, loan loss provisions and net charge-offs to continue to remain at somewhat elevated levels and to potentially fluctuate from period to period.”
Turner continued, “Since the end of 2011, total deposits increased by approximately $287 million primarily due to the InterBank transaction and attracting new checking deposit customers throughout the Company’s six-state footprint. Our deposit mix continues to trend towards lower-cost transaction accounts and the cost of deposits continues to decrease. At the end of the third quarter, the average cost of deposits was 0.69% as compared to 1.10% at September 30, 2011.
“Excluding the impact of the additional yield accretion related to the FDIC-covered loan pools, our net interest margin increased 13 basis points when compared to the year-ago quarter. The cost of deposits continues to gradually decline, which is helping offset decreases in yields on loans and investments.”

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2012 increased $1.7 million to $43.3 million compared to $41.6 million for the third quarter of 2011. Net interest margin was 4.75% in the third quarter of 2012, compared to 5.37% in the same period of 2011, a decrease of 62 basis points. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, decreased $789,000 to $120.5 million compared to $121.3 million for the same period of 2011. Net interest margin was 4.47% in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to 5.21% in the same period of 2011, a decrease of 74 basis points. The average interest rate spread was 4.69% and 4.39% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to 5.22% and 5.09% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the average interest rate spread increased 40 basis points compared to the average interest rate spread of 4.29% in the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
The Company’s net interest margin was significantly impacted by additional yield accretion recognized in conjunction with updated estimates of the fair value of the loan pools acquired in the 2009 and 2011 FDIC-assisted transactions. On an on-going basis the Company estimates the cash flows expected to be collected from the acquired loan pools. For the loan pools acquired in 2012, the Company’s estimates of the cash flows expected to be collected did not materially change. For the loan pools acquired in 2011, this cash flows estimate has increased. For the loan pools acquired in 2009, this cash flows estimate has increased each quarter, beginning with the third quarter of 2010, based on payment histories and reduced loss expectations of the loan pools. This resulted in increased income that was spread on a level-yield basis over the remaining expected lives of the loan pools. The increases in expected cash flows also reduced the amount of expected reimbursements under the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, which are recorded as indemnification assets. Therefore, the expected indemnification assets have also been reduced each quarter since the third quarter of 2010, resulting in adjustments to be amortized on a comparable basis over the remainder of the loss sharing agreements or the remaining expected lives of the loan pools, whichever is shorter. The impact of these adjustments on the Company’s financial results for the reporting periods presented is shown below:
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||||||||
| September 30, 2012 | September 30, 2012 | |||||||||
| (In thousands, except basis points data) | ||||||||||
Impact on net interest income/ net interest margin (in basis points) | $ | 9,956 | 109 bps | $ | 24,136 | 90 bps | ||||
| Non-interest income | (8,169 | ) | (19,319 | ) | ||||||
| Net impact to pre-tax income | $ | 1,787 | $ | 4,817 | ||||||
Because these adjustments will be recognized over the remaining lives of the loan pools and the remainder of the loss sharing agreements, respectively, they will impact future periods as well. The remaining accretable yield adjustment that will affect interest income is $12.8 million and the remaining adjustment to the indemnification assets that will affect non-interest income (expense) is $(11.0) million. Of the remaining adjustments, we expect to recognize $3.5 million of interest income and $(2.9) million of non-interest income (expense) in the remainder of 2012. Additional adjustments may be recorded in future periods from the 2009, 2011 and 2012 FDIC-assisted transactions, as the Company continues to estimate expected cash flows from the acquired loan pools.
Excluding the impact of the additional yield accretion, net interest margin increased 13 basis points when compared to the year-ago quarter. Decreases in the yield on loans and investments, excluding the yield accretion income discussed above, when compared to the year-ago quarter, were offset by the positive effects of the lower deposit costs. In many cases, new loans originated are at rates which are lower than the rates on existing loans and loans being paid down or paid off. During 2011 and 2012, lower-rate transaction deposits increased as customers added to existing accounts or new customer accounts were opened, while higher-rate brokered deposits decreased and retail time deposits renewed at lower rates of interest. Retail certificates of deposit increased over the year-ago quarter because of the deposits assumed in the Sun Security Bank and InterBank FDIC-assisted acquisitions.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, non-interest income increased $5.1 million when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011, primarily as a result of the following items:
| · | Amortization of indemnification asset: As described above in the net interest income section, due to the increase in cash flows expected to be collected from the TeamBank, Vantus Bank and Sun Security Bank FDIC-covered loan portfolios, $8.2 million of amortization (expense) was recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2012, relating to reductions of expected reimbursements under the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, which are recorded as indemnification assets. This amortization (expense) amount was down $4.5 million from the $12.7 million that was recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2011, relating to reductions of expected reimbursements under the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. In addition, the Bank had additional income from the accretion of the discount on the indemnification assets related to the FDIC-assisted acquisitions involving Sun Security Bank, which was completed in October 2011, and InterBank, which was completed in April 2012. |
| · | Gains on sales of single-family loans: An increase of $661,000 in gains was recorded as originations (primarily refinancings) of fixed-rate loans increased due to lower fixed rates and were then sold in the secondary market during the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. |
| · | Interest rate swap income: The Bank recorded $303,000 in income for interest rate swap agreements entered into during the period. The Bank entered into these interest rate swaps with customers and third parties on certain loans originated during the third quarter of 2012 to effectively convert fixed rate loans into variable rate instruments. |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, non-interest income increased $55.4 million when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily as a result of the following items:
| · | InterBank FDIC-assisted acquisition: The Bank recognized a preliminary one-time gain on the FDIC-assisted acquisition of InterBank of $31.3 million (pre-tax) during the quarter ended June 30, 2012. |
| · | Amortization of indemnification asset: As described above in the net interest income section, due to the increase in cash flows expected to be collected from the TeamBank, Vantus Bank and Sun Security Bank FDIC-covered loan portfolios, $19.3 million of amortization (expense) was recorded in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, relating to reductions of expected reimbursements under the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, which are recorded as indemnification assets. This amortization (expense) amount was down $16.2 million from the $35.5 million that was recorded in the period ended September 30, 2011, relating to reductions of expected reimbursements under the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. In addition, the Bank had additional income from the accretion of the discount on the indemnification assets related to the FDIC-assisted acquisitions involving Sun Security Bank, which was completed in October 2011, and InterBank which was completed in April 2012. |
| · | Gains on sales of single-family loans: An increase of $1.3 million in gains was recorded as originations (primarily refinancings) of fixed-rate loans increased due to lower fixed rates and were then sold in the secondary market during the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. |
| · | Tax credits: The Bank sold or utilized several state tax credits during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which resulted in a gain of $1.0 million. |
| · | Interest rate swap income: The Bank recorded $793,000 in income for interest rate swap agreements entered into during the period. The Bank entered into these interest rate swaps with customers and third parties on certain loans originated during the first nine months of 2012 to effectively convert fixed rate loans into variable rate instruments. |
| · | Securities gains and impairments: During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized a net gain on sale of available-for-sale securities of $1.8 million, an increase of $1.7 million from the net gain $83,000 recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Certain securities were sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, and a gain of $1.3 million was realized. |

That gain was partially offset by an impairment charge of $262,000 on a non-agency collateralized mortgage obligation.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, non-interest expense increased $7.8 million to $30.9 million, when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to the following items:
| · | Amortization of tax credits: The Company has invested in certain federal low-income housing tax credits and federal new market tax credits. These credits are typically purchased at 70-90% of the amount of the credit and are generally utilized to offset taxes payable over ten-year and seven-year periods, respectively. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, tax credits used to reduce the Company’s tax expense totaled $1.6 million, up $1.4 million from $200,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. These tax credits resulted in corresponding amortization expense of $1.2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, up $848,000 from $352,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The net result of these transactions was an increase to non-interest expense and a decrease to income tax expense, which positively impacted the Company’s effective tax rate, but negatively impacted the Company’s non-interest expense and efficiency ratio. |
| · | Foreclosure-related expenses: Expenses on foreclosed assets increased $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011, due primarily to an increase in the loss on sale of real estate of $1.8 million, which includes an increase in write-downs on ORE of $696,000. Expenses on foreclosed properties increased $455,000 due to higher levels of foreclosed properties held. This amount was partially offset by an increase in the accretion of the discount on foreclosed assets acquired through the 2009, 2011 and 2012 FDIC-assisted acquisitions of $574,000. |
| · | Sun Security Bank FDIC-assisted acquisition: Non-interest expense increased $1.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011, due to operating costs related to the operations acquired in the FDIC-assisted acquisition involving the former Sun Security Bank on October 7, 2011. |
| · | InterBank FDIC-assisted acquisition: Non-interest expense increased $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011, due to operating costs related to the operations acquired in the FDIC-assisted acquisition involving the former InterBank on April 27, 2012. Of this amount, $970,000 related to non-recurring acquisition-related expenses incurred during the quarter, primarily related to salaries and benefits ($221,000) and computer license and support ($491,000). |
| · | New banking centers: Continued internal growth of the Company since the quarter ended September 30, 2011, caused an increase in non-interest expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The Company opened two retail banking centers in the St. Louis, Mo., market area – one in O’Fallon, Mo., in February 2012 and one in Affton, Mo., in December 2011. The operation of these two new locations increased non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, by $147,000 over the same period in 2011. |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, non-interest expense increased $21.0 million to $87.7 million, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to the following items:
| · | Amortization of tax credits: During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, tax credits used to reduce the Company’s tax expense totaled $4.8 million, up $3.6 million from $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These tax credits resulted in corresponding amortization expense of $3.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, up $1.5 million from $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The net result of these transactions was an increase to non-interest expense and a decrease to income tax expense, which positively impacted the Company’s effective tax rate, but negatively impacted the Company’s non-interest expense and efficiency ratio. |
| · | Foreclosure-related expenses: Expenses on foreclosed assets increased $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, due primarily to an increase in the loss on sale of real estate of $2.0 million, which includes an increase |
5
in write-downs on ORE of $1.6 million. Expenses on foreclosed properties increased $701,000 due to higher levels of foreclosed properties held. These amounts were partially offset by an increase in the accretion of the discount on foreclosed assets acquired through the 2009, 2011 and 2012 FDIC-assisted acquisitions of $1.4 million.
| · | Sun Security Bank FDIC-assisted acquisition: Non-interest expense increased $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, due to operating costs related to the operations acquired in the FDIC-assisted acquisition involving the former Sun Security Bank on October 7, 2011. Of this amount, $497,000 related to non-recurring acquisition-related costs incurred during the first quarter of 2012, primarily salaries ($127,000) and occupancy and equipment expenses ($215,000). |
| · | InterBank FDIC-assisted acquisition: Non-interest expense increased $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, due to operating costs related to the operations acquired in the FDIC-assisted acquisition involving the former InterBank on April 27, 2012. Of this amount, $2.5 million related to non-recurring acquisition-related expenses incurred during the second and third quarters of 2012, primarily related to salaries and benefits ($710,000), computer license and support ($627,000) and legal and other professional fees ($442,000). |
| · | New banking centers: Continued internal growth of the Company since the nine months ended September 30, 2011, caused an increase in non-interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company opened two retail banking centers in the St. Louis, Mo., market area – one in O’Fallon, Mo., in February 2012 and one in Affton, Mo., in December 2011. The operation of these two new locations increased non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, by $493,000 over the same period in 2011. |
The Company’s efficiency ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, was 65.45% compared to 56.93% for the same quarter in 2011. The efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was 51.36% compared to 57.48% for the same period in 2011. The increase in the ratio in the 2012 three-month period was primarily due to the increases in non-interest expense described above. The decrease in the ratio in the 2012 nine-month period was primarily due to the gain recognized on the FDIC-assisted acquisition, partially offset by increases in non-interest expense described above. The Company’s ratio of non-interest expense to average assets increased from 2.70% and 2.58% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, to 3.04% and 2.92% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in the current period ratios was due to higher expenses in the 2012 period, as described above. Average assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 increased $645 million, or 18.9%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, increased $564 million, or 16.4%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
INCOME TAXES
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company’s effective tax rates were 9.9% and 22.9%, respectively, which were lower than the base corporate tax rate, due primarily to the effects of the tax credits discussed above and to tax-exempt investments and tax-exempt loans which reduced the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company’s tax rate, however, was higher than in recent periods in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, due to the significant gain recognized on the FDIC-assisted transaction completed in the quarter ended June 30, 2012. In future periods, the Company expects its effective tax rate will be approximately 10%-18% if it continues to maintain or increase its use of investment tax credits. The Company’s effective tax rate may fluctuate as it is impacted by the level and timing of the Company’s utilization of tax credits and the level of tax-exempt investments and loans.
CAPITAL
As of September 30, 2012, total stockholders’ equity was $361.8 million (8.9% of total assets). As of September 30, 2012, common stockholders’ equity was $303.9 million (7.5% of total assets), equivalent to a book value of $22.36 per common share. Total stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2011, was $324.6 million (8.6% of total assets). As of December 31, 2011, common stockholders’ equity was $266.6 million (7.0% of total assets), equivalent to a book value of $19.78 per common share.
6
At September 30, 2012, the Company’s tangible common equity to total assets ratio was 7.3%, compared to 6.9% at December 31, 2011. The tangible common equity to total risk-weighted assets ratio was 12.0% at September 30, 2012, compared to 11.5% at December 31, 2011.
As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital levels were categorized as “well capitalized” as defined by the Federal banking agencies’ capital-related regulations. On a preliminary basis, as of September 30, 2012, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.0%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 14.8%, and total risk-based capital ratio was 16.0%. On September 30, 2012, and on a preliminary basis, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.5%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.9%, and total risk-based capital ratio was 15.2%.
Great Southern Bancorp, Inc. is a participant in the U.S. Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF). Through the SBLF, in August 2011, the Company issued a new series of preferred stock totaling $57.9 million to the Treasury. The dividend rate on the SBLF preferred stock for the third quarter of 2012 was 1.0% and the Company currently expects the dividend rate for the fourth quarter of 2012 to be approximately 1.2%.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, decreased $100,000 to $8.4 million when compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, increased $11.0 million to $36.1 million when compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2012, the allowance for loan losses was $40.3 million, a decrease of $925,000 from December 31, 2011. Net charge-offs were $8.8 million and $8.5 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net charge-offs were $37.0 million and $26.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively. One relationship makes up $5.5 million of the net charge-off total for the three months ended September 30, 2012. General market conditions, and more specifically, housing supply, absorption rates and unique circumstances related to individual borrowers and projects also contributed to the level of provisions and charge-offs. As properties were categorized as potential problem loans, non-performing loans or foreclosed assets, evaluations were made of the value of these assets with corresponding charge-offs as appropriate.
Management records a provision for loan losses in an amount it believes sufficient to result in an allowance for loan losses that will cover current net charge-offs as well as risks believed to be inherent in the loan portfolio of the Bank. The amount of provision charged against current income is based on several factors, including, but not limited to, past loss experience, current portfolio mix, actual and potential losses identified in the loan portfolio, economic conditions, regular reviews by internal staff and regulatory examinations.
Weak economic conditions, higher inflation or interest rates, or other factors may lead to increased losses in the portfolio and/or requirements for an increase in loan loss provision expense. Management long ago established various controls in an attempt to limit future losses, such as a watch list of possible problem loans, documented loan administration policies and a loan review staff to review the quality and anticipated collectability of the portfolio. Additional procedures provide for frequent management review of the loan portfolio based on loan size, loan type, delinquencies, on-going correspondence with borrowers, and problem loan work-outs. Management determines which loans are potentially uncollectible, or represent a greater risk of loss, and makes additional provisions to expense, if necessary, to maintain the allowance at a satisfactory level.
The Bank’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans, excluding loans covered by the FDIC loss sharing agreements, was 2.22%, 2.33% and 2.33% at September 30, 2012, December 31, 2011, and September 30, 2011, respectively. Management considers the allowance for loan losses adequate to cover losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio at this time, based on recent internal and external reviews of the Company’s loan portfolio and current economic conditions. If economic conditions remain weak or deteriorate significantly, it is possible that additional loan loss provisions would be required, thereby adversely affecting future results of operations and financial condition.

ASSET QUALITY
Former TeamBank, Vantus Bank, Sun Security Bank and InterBank non-performing assets, including foreclosed assets, are not included in the totals and in the discussion of non-performing loans, potential problem loans and foreclosed assets below due to the respective loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, which substantially cover principal losses that may be incurred in these portfolios. In addition, FDIC-supported TeamBank, Vantus Bank, Sun Security Bank and InterBank assets were initially recorded at their estimated fair values as of their acquisition dates of March 20, 2009, September 4, 2009, October 7, 2011, and April 27, 2012, respectively. The overall performance of the TeamBank, Vantus Bank and Sun Security Bank FDIC-covered loan pools has been better than original expectations as of the acquisition dates. Because of the recent acquisition date for the InterBank FDIC-covered loan pools, original performance expectations have not materially changed.
As a result of changes in balances and composition of the loan portfolio, changes in economic and market conditions that occur from time to time and other factors specific to a borrower’s circumstances, the level of non-performing assets will fluctuate.
Non-performing assets, excluding FDIC-covered non-performing assets, at September 30, 2012, were $76.9 million, an increase of $2.5 million from $74.4 million at December 31, 2011, and an increase of $3.4 million from June 30, 2012. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 1.89% at September 30, 2012, compared to 1.96% at December 31, 2011.
Compared to June 30, 2012, non-performing loans increased $2.7 million to $25.4 million and foreclosed assets increased $641,000 to $51.5 million. Construction and land development loans comprised $7.7 million, or 30.2%, of the total $25.4 million of non-performing loans at September 30, 2012. Non-performing commercial real estate loans increased $1.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012, and were $2.8 million, or 11.1%, of the total non-performing loans at September 30, 2012.
Compared to June 30, 2012, potential problem loans decreased $12.3 million, or 21.8%. This decrease was due to the removal of $11.9 million of loans from potential problem loans, $7.1 million in charge-offs, $7.1 million in loans transferred to non-performing loans, and $3.5 million in loans transferred to foreclosed assets, partially offset by $17.9 million of new loans added to potential problem loans.
Activity in the non-performing loans category during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, was as follows:

BUSINESS INITIATIVES
The Company completed the final operational milestones pertaining to the FDIC-assisted acquisition of InterBank.

The system conversion allows all customers to conveniently conduct their banking business at all 107 banking centers in the Great Southern franchise.
In October, a new banking center at 600 W. Republic in Springfield, Mo., was opened, which replaced a leased facility at 3961 S. Campbell.

At the same time as the opening of the new facility, a leased banking center in downtown Greenfield will be closed. The Company expects to expand its presence in the Omaha, Neb., market. In mid-October the Company purchased a lot in a commercial district in Omaha, Neb. A full-service banking center will be constructed with expectations of a second quarter 2013 opening. A commercial lending team will be housed in this facility. The Company currently operates two banking centers in the Omaha metropolitan area – one in Bellevue and one in Fort Calhoun.
Text banking is expected to be launched for customers in November 2012 providing another channel to access account information. Tablet computer applications and remote check deposit for smartphones are under development and are expected to be available at the beginning of 2013.
