George M. Lee, Executive Vice Chairman, President and CEO of MetroCorp Bancshares, Inc. stated, “After a disappointing fourth quarter loss for 2009 of $7.3 million, management was determined to utilize 2010 as a turnaround year despite continued economic weakness in both Texas and California.  Our focus and relentless commitment in making the necessary adjustments to our core operations resulted in improvements during the last three quarters in 2010.  We are pleased to report progress being made for the fourth quarter of 2010 with net income of $1.7 million compared with third quarter 2010 net income of $637,000 and a net loss of ($7.3) million for the fourth quarter of 2009.
 
 
 

 
 
“Our nonperforming assets were reduced from $102.9 million at December 31, 2009 to $92.8 million at December 31, 2010, and subsequent to quarter end, we have successfully sold and settled $11.3 million of nonperforming assets.  Our net interest margin remained stable and expanded slightly from 3.77% for the third quarter of 2010 to 3.84% for the fourth quarter 2010.  Total risk based capital also increased from 13.80% at December 31, 2009 to 15.13% at December 31, 2010.  It is especially encouraging to see that the above improvements were achieved by stronger performance from both MetroBank in Texas and Metro United Bank in California.
 
“With a stronger performance platform to start the new year, management will work to maintain the momentum of the progress.  In addition to the financial results recently achieved, the Company has also added strength to its board leadership to support its long-term business model.  Dr. Daniel B. Wright who served on the board of the holding company from 2004 to 2007 and of MetroBank from 2001 to 2007, has been nominated and appointed by the Board of Directors of MetroCorp to serve as a director.  Dr. Wright holds a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies and has subsequently held various positions at the U.S. Treasury Department, the Albright Stonebridge Group, and is currently the President and CEO of GreenPoint Group.  Dr. Wright's expertise in U.S. and China's political and economic policies will be especially valuable in leading and supporting future strategies of the Company.  Furthermore, Dr. Saishi Frank Li, an internationally recognized risk management professional who joined the board in 2009, has also strengthened the board with risk management experience and knowledge.
 
“We are encouraged by the progress management has accomplished during 2010 and by the long-term improvements in place.  Although we remain cautious about the pace of economic recovery, management believes that the Company is well prepared and poised for the opportunities to come.”

Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $4.3 million, down $2.3 million or 34.9% compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2009, primarily due to lower volume and cost of deposits.

Noninterest income and expense
Noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $2.4 million, a decrease of $220,000 or 8.3% compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in gains on securities, partially offset by a decline in other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on securities. Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $7.6 million, a decrease of $606,000 or 7.4% compared to the same period in 2009.   The decrease was primarily due to declines in gains on securities and letters of credit commissions and fees, partially offset by a decline in OTTI on securities.
 
 
 

 
 
Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $11.2 million, a decrease of $2.9 million or 20.5% compared with the same period in 2009.  The decrease was mainly the result of a $2.5 million goodwill impairment recorded in the fourth quarter of 2009 and a decline in the FDIC assessment.
 
Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $48.3 million, an increase of $488,000 or 1.0% compared with the same period in 2009.  The increase was primarily the result of higher expenses related to ORE, partially offset by decreases in FDIC assessment, other noninterest expense and goodwill impairment.  Other noninterest expense decreased across most functional areas, but the decline was primarily the result of a lower provision for unfunded commitments and lower professional fees.
 
Salaries and employee benefits expense for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $5.2 million, an increase of $243,000 or 4.9% compared with $4.9 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to bonus accrual which was partially offset by lower salaries due to a reduction in the number of employees, lower employee healthcare costs and lower stock-based compensation costs. Salaries and employee benefits expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $20.6 million, an increase of $178,000 or 0.9% compared with $20.4 million for the same period in 2009.  The increase was primarily due to bonus accrual which was partially offset by lower salaries due to a reduction in the number of employees.

On a linked-quarter basis, the provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2010 decreased $2.1 million to $2.6 million compared with $4.7 million for the third quarter of 2010, primarily as a result of lower charge-offs.

Total nonperforming assets at December 31, 2010 were $92.8 million compared with $102.9 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $10.1 million or 9.8%. The ratio of total nonperforming assets to total assets decreased to 5.95% at December 31, 2010 from 6.47% at December 31, 2009.
 
On a linked-quarter basis, total nonperforming assets increased by $7.2 million, of which $5.4 million was in Texas and $1.8 million in California. The net increase in nonperforming assets in Texas consists primarily of net increases of $2.2 million in nonaccrual loans and $3.6 million in ORE, which were partially offset by a decrease of $704,000 in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) - nonaccruing.  The $2.2 million net increase in nonaccrual loans primarily included $13.0 million of new nonaccrual loans, partially offset by $7.0 million of transfers to ORE and $2.7 million in writedowns.    The net increase in nonperforming assets in California consists primarily of a net increase of $4.3 million in TDRs - nonaccruing, partially offset by a net decrease of $2.7 million in nonaccrual loans.

On a linked-quarter basis, ORE increased by approximately $3.8 million compared with September 30, 2010, which was comprised of additions of $3.6 million in Texas and $192,000 in California.  The increase in Texas was the result of the addition of $7.0 million in three commercial properties and one land parcel, partially offset by sales of $2.7 million from three commercial tracts and one townhome, and $711,000 in writedowns.   The increase in California resulted from the addition of a commercial land tract for $672,000 which was partially offset by the sale of a residential lot tract for $375,000 and a writedown of $105,000.
 
In January 2011, $11.3 million of nonperforming assets were sold, which consists of $8.4 million in Texas and $2.9 million in California.
 
Approximately $67.5 million of the nonaccrual loans and TDRs - nonaccruing are collateralized by real estate, which represented 94.9% of total nonaccrual loans and TDRs - nonaccruing at December 31, 2010.  Management has been aggressive in identifying problem loans but uncertain economic conditions could cause further deterioration in the loan portfolio. Management is closely monitoring the loan portfolio and diligently working on problem loan resolutions.
