Income Statement

The Company reported net income of $3.6 million or $0.14 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $24.7 million, or $0.95 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2011.  Net income for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 was $0.9 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $23.1 million, or $0.89 per share, for the three month period ended December 31, 2011.

Earnings improved substantially on a year to year basis as the loan loss provision and other credit costs decreased due to the significant improvement in asset quality.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a loan loss provision in the amount of $1.4 million compared to a $16.0 million provision during the year ended December 31, 2011. Financial results for 2011 were impacted by a loss incurred on the bulk sale of troubled loans and foreclosed properties which closed in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the recognition of a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets in that same period.

The Company continues to lower its cost of funds as evidenced by a decrease of 28 basis points to 0.71% for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 0.99% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The net interest margin decreased slightly to 3.53% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 3.59% for year ended December 31, 2011.

Non-interest income decreased to $8.8 million for the year December 31, 2012 compared to $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to revenue recognized on two legal settlements in 2011 which did not recur in 2012.

Non-interest expenses decreased by $5.3 million, or 13%, to $35.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $41.2 million in the prior year as a result of lower expenses related to foreclosed real estate during 2012.  The Company recognized write-downs and expenses in the amount of $4.8 million related to the disposition of foreclosed properties in a bulk sale of impaired assets during 2011.
