FSB Community Bankshares, Inc. Announces Quarterly and Annual Results

FAIRPORT, N.Y., Feb. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- FSB Community Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") (OTC Bulletin Board: FSBC), the mid-tier stock holding company of Fairport Savings Bank (the "Bank"), reported net income of $60,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 compared to net income of $24,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  Net income per basic share was $0.03 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 compared to net income per basic share of $0.01 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  The Company's net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 increased 22 basis points to 2.38% from 2.16% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company reported net income of $220,000 compared to net income of $68,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Net income per basic share for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $0.13 compared to net income per basic share of $0.04 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The Company's net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased 8 basis points to 2.34% from 2.26% for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The year over year net income improvement of $152,000 was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income of $318,000, an increase in other income of $625,000, and a $7,000 decrease in provision for loan losses, partially offset by a $730,000 increase in other expense, and an increase in income taxes of $68,000.  The $318,000 increase in net interest income was generated through substantially lower deposit and borrowing costs, which offset a decline in the yield on earning assets.  The $625,000 increase in other income resulted from realized gain on sale of securities, Bank owned life insurance income, realized gain on sale of loans, and other miscellaneous income, mainly mortgage fees, partially offset by a decrease in deposit service fees and realized loss on sale of foreclosed real estate.  A substantial portion of the increase in other income was attributable to realized gain on sale of loans and mortgage fees associated with the growth in mortgage loan production in 2010 from the contribution of our new loan origination offices opened in January 2010.  The $730,000 increase in other expense was the result of increases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, equipment, electronic banking, directors' fees, and other miscellaneous expense, partially offset by decreases in data processing costs, advertising, and FDIC premium expense.  This increase in other expense was primarily attributable to the new loan origination division with increased commissions generated by loan originations, salary costs associated with additional support staff required for loan growth, additional occupancy and equipment expenses.  Also contributing to the increased salaries and benefits, occupancy, and equipment expenses was a full year of costs associated with the Webster branch that opened in the latter part of 2009.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had $212.4 million in consolidated assets, a decrease of $2.0 million compared to $214.4 million at December 31, 2009.  The modest decrease in assets year over year was the result, in part, of management's continued effort to reduce costs through disciplined deposit pricing and management's ongoing strategy of selling long-term fixed rate mortgage loans in this low interest rate environment.  Balance sheet management with pricing discipline for funding sources including deposits and borrowings has had a positive impact on the Company's net interest margin.  The balance sheet is highly liquid and the Bank continues to be "well capitalized" as defined by bank regulation.  Net loans receivable decreased by $1.9 million at December 31, 2010 to $114.5 million compared to $116.4 million at December 31, 2009. The Bank sold $10.4 million of long-term fixed rate conventional mortgage loans and FHA mortgage loans as a balance sheet management strategy during 2010 to reduce interest rate risk.  The Bank sold these loans at a gain of $398,000 which was recorded in non-interest income.  The Bank ended December 31, 2010 with $19.1 million in mortgage loans sold and will realize servicing income on these loans as long as these loans have outstanding balances.  As a result of management's decision to replace wholesale borrowings through core deposit growth, the Company decreased its Federal Home Loan Bank advance position by $7.9 million, or 22.7%, to $26.7 million at December 31, 2010 from $34.6 million at December 31, 2009.  The Company has managed down deposit costs as market interest rates remain at historically low levels.  Total deposits increased by $5.9 million, or 3.8%, to $162.4 million at December 31, 2010 from $156.5 million at December 31, 2009.  The Company has reviewed its investment securities portfolio totaling $79.8 million at December 31, 2010, and concluded that no other-than-temporary impairment charges were required during 2010.  The Company does not hold any mortgage-backed securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae preferred stock, trust preferred securities or common stock of other banks.  Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2010 was $20.5 million, or 9.7% of assets.

The credit quality of the Bank's loan portfolio remains solid.  The Bank continues to have no involvement in, and has no exposure to, sub-prime lending activities.  The Bank ended the fourth quarter of 2010 with net loans receivable of $114.5 million and $342,000 in loans held for sale, with no non-performing loans at December 31, 2010.  At December 31, 2010 management has evaluated the Bank's loan loss reserve and believes it is adequately funded based on the quality of the current loan portfolio.
