For the three month period ended September 30th, 2012, the Company’s net income available to common shareholders was $819,000, or $0.11 per share, basic and diluted, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $1.4 million, or $0.18 per share basic and diluted, for the three month period ended September 30th, 2011.

Commenting on the third quarter results, John E. Peck, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The Company has reduced the amount of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings by approximately $20.0 million during the quarter. The reduction in FHLB borrowings, which include prepayment fees of approximately $480,000, reduces our balances outstanding related to wholesale funding. The prepayment penalties were offset by gains on the sales of securities, many of which were experiencing increasing high levels of cash flow and lower net yields due to national mortgage refinancing activity. We remain focused on reducing our cost of funds with approximately $96.8 million in time deposits maturing in the fourth quarter of 2012 with a weighted average cost of approximately 2.00%.”

Mr. Peck concluded, “The Company experienced an $11.8 million reduction in classified loans during the quarter due. In addition, we have contracts to sell $2.7 million in non-performing loans scheduled to close during the fourth quarter of 2012 at or near their current book value. The Company continues to market other non-performing assets in an attempt to further reduce our level of classified assets.  The Company continues to find success working with borrowers in an effort to address credit quality issues.”
