BEL AIR, Md., Aug. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SFSB, INC.
(OTC Bulletin Board: SFBI) today reported net income for the quarter ended
June 30, 2008 of $142,000 or $0.05 diluted earnings per share as compared to a
net loss of $38,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The increase in
earnings was primarily due to a $146,000 increase in interest income and a
$24,000 increase in non-interest income, while we had a decrease of $77,000 in
interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2007. These improvements were partially offset by
a $51,000 increase in non-interest expenses. The increase in net interest
income during the second quarter of 2008 is primarily a result of an increase
in higher yielding commercial real estate loans. Non-interest income
increased primarily as a result of an increase in fee income from commissions
earned through a financial services operation established mid-year 2007.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net income was $184,000 as
compared to a net loss of $48,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
At June 30, 2008, SFSB, Inc., had total assets of $177.3 million, compared
to $172.2 million at December 31, 2007. Stockholders' equity amounted to
$21.6 million as of June 30, 2008 as compared to $21.8 million at December 31,
2007. The increase in assets is primarily due to an increase in our loan
portfolio, primarily attributable to an increase in commercial real estate
loans, which is part of a strategic effort to increase the percentage of
commercial real estate loans to residential loans to improve our net interest
margin.
