Third quarter net income available to common shareholders after accruing for preferred stock dividends was $545,000 ($0.14 per basic and diluted common share), an increase of 209.7% compared to net income available to common shareholders of $176,000 ($0.04 per basic and diluted common share) in the third quarter of 2010.

The net interest margin widened 40 basis points to 3.93% in the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 3.53% in the third quarter of last year.

“We are pleased to report strongly improved performance ratios and earnings that have more than doubled in the third quarter,” said Chairman and CEO Richard M.

Last month, BankAnnapolis received the 2011 Financial Services Award from the Annapolis and Anne Arundel County Chamber of Commerce. Presented at the Chamber’s Annual Comcast Business Hall of Fame Awards Ceremony on October 6^th, the local business advocacy group cited BankAnnapolis for its outstanding business achievement as the top financial services firm in the market.

Later this week, BankAnnapolis will be honored as 2011 Corporate Philanthropist of the Year by the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County at its annual Celebration of Philanthropy Awards Luncheon. According to the Foundation, BankAnnapolis was selected because of “the extraordinary depth, breadth of service and philanthropy it has demonstrated in its work on behalf of local nonprofits and our community.”

“It is very flattering to be acknowledged for our customer and community service by such prominent and widely respected business and community organizations,” said Lerner. “It’s especially gratifying to receive this recognition at a time when our efforts have resulted in improved financial performance, because it validates and reinforces our belief that what’s good for our customers and our community is also good for our shareholders. This has always been the central tenet of our community banking philosophy.”

The Company’s overall cost of funds improved to 0.88% for the third quarter of 2011 compared to 1.11% for the same period last year.
