First Resource Bank Achieves Record Quarterly Pre-Tax Profitability
EXTON, Pa., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- First Resource Bank (OTC Bulletin Board: FRSB) announced fourth quarter pre-tax profitability of $107,002 as compared to a pre-tax loss of $187,157 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and a pre-tax loss of $381,158 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Fourth quarter net income of $69,617 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compares to a net loss of $124,006 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and a net loss of $253,202 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. This significant improvement is related to a lower provision for loan losses and a conscious decrease in non-interest expenses.
The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $244,905 as compared to a net loss of $282,326 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This difference is due to higher net interest income and lower salaries, benefits and advertising expenses, offset by higher provisions for loan losses, FDIC insurance expenses and other real estate owned expenses.
Glenn B. Marshall, President & CEO, stated, "We are disappointed with the 2009 net loss, but we are optimistic that the fourth quarter results are indicative of our expected performance in 2010. The fourth quarter illustrates the benefit of an improved net interest margin, the disposition of three other real estate owned properties and numerous cost savings measures implemented in 2009."
Net interest income was $919,237 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $821,273 for the previous quarter. The net interest margin improved 20 basis points, from 2.78% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 2.98% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. This net interest margin improvement was mainly due to lower deposit costs in the fourth quarter as scheduled maturities of brokered funding and borrowings were replaced with lower cost retail deposits.
The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.32% at December 31, 2009 as compared to 1.19% at September 30, 2009, and 1.19% at December 31, 2008. Three other real estate owned properties were sold during the fourth quarter, leaving two remaining properties. Non-performing assets, which include non-performing loans of $1.3 million and other real estate owned of $1.1 million, totaled $2.4 million at December 31, 2009. This represents a $709 thousand, or 22.9%, decrease during the quarter due to the sale of other real estate owned properties. Non-performing assets to total assets declined from 3.70% at December 31, 2008 and 2.54% at September 30, 2009 to 1.81% at December 31, 2009.
James B. Griffin, Chairman of the Board stated, "Management has worked hard to reduce non-performing assets, improve the net interest margin, and decrease non-interest expenses. The Bank continues to analyze the risks inherent in the portfolio, and works to balance the risks for improved performance. As a result, the Bank is better positioned for growth in 2010."
The loan portfolio grew $8.9 million, or 9.4%, during the year from $94.8 million at December 31, 2008 to $103.7 million at December 31, 2009. Loan growth during the fourth quarter was $135,000 as new loan activity was offset by several loan payoffs. This net growth is a function of the shift in the portfolio, reducing construction lending from $14.2 million at December 31, 2008 to $10.7 million at September 30, 2009 to $8.9 million at December 31, 2009.

============ ============ ===========
Deposits grew significantly during the fourth quarter, with total deposits increasing $8.1 million, or 7.9% to $110.8 million at December 31, 2009. Virtually all of this deposit growth was within the money market product which represented 32% of total deposits at December 31, 2009 as compared to 19% at December 31, 2008. During 2009 total deposits increased $30.6 million, or 38.2%, from $80.2 million at December 31, 2008 to $110.8 million at December 31, 2009.
During 2009, the Bank participated in the United States Department of the Treasury's Capital Purchase Program. Preferred stock was issued in two separate transactions resulting in net proceeds of $5,040,833. Preferred stock dividends are accrued monthly with the third quarterly dividend payment made on November 16, 2009. Preferred stock dividends and accretion were $48,303 for the fourth quarter resulting in net income available to common shareholders of $21,314. Preferred stock dividends and accretion were $160,103 for the year ended December 31, 2009, resulting in a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $405,008.
Non-interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was $1,202, as compared to $20,021 for the previous quarter. This decline was due to a net loss of $18,000 on other real estate owned properties during the fourth quarter. Gains on sales of other real estate owned of $16,000 were offset by a write-down of $34,000 on one of the remaining properties held at December 31, 2009.
Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $62,508 as compared to $104,898 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This decline is due to First Resource exiting the brokered residential mortgage business in late 2008. Over 17% of non-interest income recorded during the year ended December 31, 2008 was mortgage fees.
Non-interest expense decreased $88,515, or 11.7% in the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to lower other real estate owned expenses in the fourth quarter.
Non-interest expense increased $33,220, or 11% in the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008. Lower salaries, employee benefits and advertising expenses were offset by higher other real estate owned expenses and FDIC insurance expenses. FDIC insurance expense was $237,083 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $58,665 for the year ended December 31, 2008.
