Results of Operation

The Company reported net interest income of $1.823 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, an 18.1% increase relative to the same quarter of 2012. The improvement was the result of portfolio loan growth. Net interest margin for the quarter was 4.24% compared to 4.36% for the most recent linked quarter and 4.59% for the fourth quarter of 2012. Net interest income for the full year of 2013 was $6.791 million, an increase of $851,000 compared to the same period of 2012. Net interest margin for the year to date period ended December 31, 2013 was 4.40% compared to 4.73% in 2012. The margin compression experienced by the Company is a result of the evolving product mix of the balance sheet, competitive pricing conditions and challenging rate environment.

The Company reversed $120,000 in provision expense during the fourth quarter of 2013, as collateral values on impaired loans improved. Total provision expense for the year to date period ending December 31, 2013 was $160,000, compared to $470,000 for the twelve month period in 2012. The net reduction in provision expense is attributable to improved market values and a reduction in problem credits requiring a valuation reserve. The Company charged off $336,000 in impaired loans during 2013.

Total non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $252,000, compared to $210,000 for the most recent linked quarter and $348,000 for the same period of 2012. Total non-interest income for the year to date period ending December 31, 2013 was $862,000, compared to $1.243 million for the prior year. The decrease was a function of reduced loan volume related to commercial SBA and residential mortgage loans sold in the secondary market In addition, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of an ORE property in 2012 totaling $150,000.

Total non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $1.543 million, compared to $1.296 million for the same quarter of 2012. Year to date non-interest expense for 2013 was $5.597 million, an increase of $498,000 relative to the same period in 2012. The increase in expenses were the result of hiring new personnel to accommodate growth, infrastructure expansion, investment in new technology and providing additional resources for business marketing effort.

Balance Sheet

Total assets as of December 31, 2013 were $188.7 million, a 23.5% increase from December 31, 2012. The net growth in total assets was the result of an increase in loan and deposit balances. Total portfolio loans reached $158.8 million in 2013, an increase of $30.6 million from the prior year. The growth was primarily concentrated in commercial, lease and mortgage related loans.
