The Corporation's primary asset, mBank, recorded net income of $.911 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $1.439 million for the six months period in 2011. The second quarter results include a provision for loan losses of $.600 million and $.035 million of gains on OREO properties. Operating results for the same period in 2010 include a $2.800 million provision, the $1.845 million of OREO losses.
Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 2011 totaled $54.784 million, compared to $56.231 million on June 30, 2010, a decrease of $1.447 million, or 2.57%. Book value of common shareholders' equity was $12.86 per share at June 30, 2011 compared to $13.34 per share at June 30, 2010.
Weighted average shares outstanding totaled 3,419,736 for all periods. The common stock warrants outstanding of 379,310 shares were slightly dilutive, at approximately $.01 per share, for the 2011 second quarter, as the market value of our stock moved above the $4.35 strike price.
SBA/USDA loan sale premium income of $1.186 million year to date, exceeded all of 2010 totals, with a solid pipeline of new loans for sale entering into the third and fourth quarters. We continue to see good premiums in the 7% to 8% range on these transactions. This line of business has become a core competency and revenue driver to the company. mBank was ranked 10 in terms of the number of SBA 7A loans (21) and 9 in terms of the dollar volume ($12.3M) in the July 18, 2011 issue of Crains Magazine for the SBA period Oct 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011. This comparison is to all other banks in the state, some of who are much larger in size.
Improved net interest margin at 3.79% for the second quarter and 3.85% for the six month period of 2011.
Core deposit growth of $39.344 million primarily in transactional accounts, accounting for $22.106 million of this growth for the first six months of 2011, which improved our funding mix.
ORE gains of $.035 million for the second quarter and losses of $.432 million for the six month period of 2011, compared to $1.845 million in losses in the second quarter of 2010 and YTD 2010 losses of $1.993 million.
In the second quarter and six month period of 2011, the Corporation recorded a provision for loan losses of $.600 million as compared to the $2.800 million and $3.700 million provision recorded in the second quarter and six month period of 2010.
Nonperforming assets at the end of the second quarter of 2011 totaled $14.247 million or a manageable 2.88% of total assets, a reduction of $1.878 million from 2010 year end balances. Non-accrual loans reside at a stable 1.93% of total loans.
Total loans at June 30, 2011 were $394.812 million, a 2.59% increase from the $384.839 million at June 30, 2010 and up $11.726 million from year-end 2010 total loans of $383.086 million. Commenting on loan growth, Kelly W. George, President and CEO of mBank, stated, "Loan growth in the second quarter picked up dramatically with overall production of $56.1 million. Loans outstanding increased by $20.2 million in the 2011 second quarter despite SBA loan sales of $12.4 million along with normal amortization and principal runoff of approximately $28.2 million. Our current loan pipeline is good with a nice balance of SBA/USDA transactions along with more conventional financings in both the consumer and commercial segments of the business. The SBA government guaranteed funding programs continue to be a source of capital for many companies to expand their operations in the form of new equipment or buildings, to provide more jobs or in some ways to provide better structure to their overall debt picture. Our strongest region continues to be the Upper Peninsula with overall new loan production for the first half of the year residing at $73 million bank-wide, with the UP contributing $37.5 million, the Northern Lower Peninsula $26.5 million, and Southeast Michigan, $8.8 million."
The decrease in nonperforming assets in the second quarter is the result of continued diligence and aggressive remediation of problem borrowers and/or properties, and related workout programs in some circumstances where client loans have the propensity, based on improving financial and payment trends, to become earning assets once again for the bank. The added provision for this quarter was primarily the result of an older non-performing commercial loan relationship that has been going through the stages of legal and collections for over a year now. George, commenting on credit quality, stated: "We continue to aggressively market our OREO properties and believe our aggressive write-downs reflect current market values, and will result in further sales later this year. We remain highly focused on overall asset quality metrics given the still challenging overall Michigan economy but believe that the market is stabilizing. We are encouraged by our Texas Ratio of 23.38% for the quarter, which is among the lowest of the 15 largest public banks headquartered in Michigan."
Net interest margin in the second quarter of 2011 increased to $4.178 million, 3.79%, compared to $4.023 million, or 3.56%, in the second quarter of 2010 and the net interest margin in the first six months of 2011 increased to $8.319 million, 3.85%, compared to $8.045 million, or 3.53%, in the first six months of 2010. The interest margin increase was largely due to decreased funding costs. George stated, "We are disciplined in our deposit and loan pricing structures in order to minimize interest rate risk while maintaining and looking to grow current margins. We expect our margin to improve as we progress through the year with increased funding of new loans through lower cost transactional accounts and further repayment of longer-term maturing brokered deposits." On hand liquidity remains strong with over $25M of fed funds/cash and $28M of unpledged investments available to service depositor needs and fund new asset growth.
Total deposits of $399.667 million at June 30, 2011 were down 1.51% from deposits of $405.784 million on June 30, 2010 due to decreased levels of brokered deposits, which declined from $111.106 million on June 30, 2010, to $46.607 million on June 30, 2011. Total deposits on June 30, 2011 deposits were up $12.888 million from year-end 2010 deposits of $386.779 million. The overall increase in deposits for the first six months of 2011 is comprised of a decrease in noncore deposits of $26.456 million which was offset with increased core deposits of $39.344 million. George, commenting on the increased core deposits, stated, "In the first half of 2011, we continued to grow core deposits at a steady rate. Our dependency on brokered deposits, which stood at 42% of total deposits at 2009 year-end, has decreased to 12% of deposits on June 30, 2011. We are extremely pleased with our deposit mix and we will continue to monitor all of our products and pricing to remain competitive and in order to maintain interest margins and preserve franchise value associated with core deposits."
Noninterest income, at $1.348 million in the second quarter of 2011, increased $.755 million from the second quarter 2010 level of $.593 million with the largest driver of this income being increased gains from the sale of SBA/USDA loans, which totaled $.950 million in the second quarter and $1.186 million for the six month period. Noninterest income, at $1.925 million in the first six months of 2011, increased $.525 million from the first six months of 2010 level of $1.400 million. Noninterest income in the first six months of 2010 also includes $.215 million of security gains which the Corporation does not consider recurring or a true core earnings provider on a year to year basis.
Noninterest expense, at $3.729 million in the second quarter of 2011, decreased $1.601 million, or 30.04% from the second quarter of 2010. Noninterest expense, at $7.788 million in the first six months of 2011, decreased $1.170 million, or 13.06% from the first six months of 2010 due primarily to lower losses and write-downs of ORE properties, which declined from $1.993 million of write-downs in 2010 to $.432 million in 2011. Our operating expenses in 2011 remain somewhat elevated due to the added cost of aggressive nonperforming asset remediation, along with an increase in FDIC insurance premiums of $.034 million. The Corporation continues to look for ways to control costs and remains below peer levels in terms of salary and benefits as a percentage of total assets residing at 1.47%.
Total assets of the Corporation at June 30, 2011 were $492.373 million, down 1.68% from the $500.774 million reported at June 30, 2010 and up 2.86% from the $478.696 million of total assets at year-end 2010. Common Shareholders' equity at June 30, 2011 totaled $43.973 million, or $12.86 per share, compared to $45.621 million, or $13.34 per share on June 30, 2010. The Corporation and the Bank are both "well-capitalized" with Tier 1 Capital at the Corporation of 9.50% and 8.51% at the Bank.
Paul D. Tobias, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, concluded, "We are pleased with our operating results thus far in 2011 as we come out of the financial turmoil that has centered around Michigan for the last several years. We continue to build a strong balance sheet with a balanced portfolio of loans funded with in-market core deposits which translates into increased franchise value. We believe we have weathered the financial crisis and look forward to prudently expanding our franchise in the near term."
