1st Colonial Bancorp, Inc. (OTCBB:FCOB), holding company of 1st
Colonial National Bank, today reported that its net income for the
year ended December 31, 2010 was $240,000 ($0.08 per share),
compared to $405,000 ($0.14 per share) for the year ended December
31, 2009.
Gerry Banmiller, President and Chief Executive Officer,
commented, “The commercial loan portfolio sustained a significant
charge-off in the 4th Quarter of 2010 due to one particular loan of
size being written off. This event obviously had a negative impact
on our net earnings. The increase in our core earnings, however,
allowed this negative event to be absorbed and we were still able
to show positive earnings of $240,000 for the year.”
He continued, “As we entered 2010, our intent was to shrink
certain elements of our deposit base such as certificates of
deposit, given the inability to arbitrage these liabilities into
reasonable earnings. As you know, highly profitable investment
opportunities in government securities do not exist. This downward
re-pricing allowed us to reduce our higher cost time deposits by
$11 million, replacing them with a similar amount of no cost demand
deposit accounts or low cost transaction accounts. For this reason,
you will note that our deposits were relatively unchanged from
December 31, 2009.”
At December 31, 2010, 1st Colonial also reported $272.6 million
in total assets and $232.6 million in deposits. These amounts
reflect a decrease of $4.0 million in assets from December 31,
2009. Deposits were relatively unchanged. Total loans were $177.3
million, an increase of $6.8 million or 4.0% from December 31,
2009.
1st Colonial’s provision for loan losses increased by $1.5
million to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010,
compared to the $1.6 million provision for the year ended December
31, 2009.
Net interest income of $8,482,000 for the year ended December
31, 2010 was $1.3 million, or 18.4%, higher than the net interest
income of $7,165,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009. This was
due primarily to an increase in net interest spread of 0.31% to
3.15% for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 2.84% for
the year ended December 31, 2009.
Non-interest income increased $579,000 or 46.3% from the prior
year. Fees generated by origination and sale of residential
mortgage loans increased by $248,000, gains on the sale of
investment securities increased by $209,000, fees generated by
origination and sale of SBA loans accounted for $40,000 of the
increase and income from bank owned life insurance increased by
$38,000.
Non-interest expense increased $569,000 or 8.6% from the
comparable period in 2009. Salaries and benefits accounted for
$384,000 of the increase due to increased expenses related to loan
volume in our residential lending department and general salary and
benefit increases. Expenses related to loans in foreclosure
increased by $120,000 and advertising expense increased by $73,000,
as increased marketing is typically needed in a down economy.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, 1st Colonial had a net
loss before income tax expense of $3,000. Its $243,000 income tax
benefit for the year ended December 31, 2010 represented an
increase of $67,000 compared to the prior year income tax benefit
of $176,000.
