Dear Stockholder,
It is our pleasure to present our 1st Quarter 2010, Financial Report to you.
Our total assets decreased slightly to $368,978,851 from $369,601,921 during the quarter, representing a decrease of $623,070, or 0.17%. Net loans decreased by $3,777,767, or 1.42%. Investment securities increased by $881,384 and federal funds sold increased by $1,942,797 due primarily to the decrease in loans. Deposits decreased by $1,767,880, or 0.56% during the first quarter.
Our net income was $409,084 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to $463,418 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Net interest income increased by $223,915 as decreases in deposit rates offset decreases in loan volume and rates. The provision for loan losses increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period last year due to increases in past-due and nonperforming loans. Salary and benefit costs were down due to employee attrition and decreases in benefit costs. Other expenses increased by $281,021 due primarily to the recognition of a credit to the reserve for overdraft losses of approximately $170,000 in the first quarter of 2009 that did not recur in 2010. FDIC assessments also increased by $72,000 in the first quart er of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009.
Stockholders’ equity increased $397,239 for the quarter resulting in total stockholders’ equity of $30,937,184 at March 31, 2010. The book value of our stock is now $18.00 per share. We paid a first quarter dividend of 10 cents per share on March 31.
We hope you can attend this year’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders which will be held at 1:00 p.m. on May 11. Doors will open at 12:30 p.m. with refreshments provided.
As always, we appreciate your support, welcome your comments and the opportunity to serve you.
