First Trust Bank Reports Second Quarter Results
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- First Trust Bank (OTC Bulletin Board: NCFT) reported results for the second quarter of 2010 today. The Bank reported a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared to net income of $865 thousand, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2009.
Assets at June 30, 2010 were $458 million compared to $456 million at December 31, 2009. Loans were $314 million at quarter-end compared to $326 million at year-end, 2009. This decline is the result of a reduction in outstanding loans in conjunction with a decline in loan demand during the first half of 2010.
The net loss for the second quarter is primarily the result of a $4.1 million provision to the allowance for loan losses compared to a provision of $648 thousand during the second quarter of 2009. The allowance for loan losses totaled 3.21% at June 30, 2010 compared to 1.60% at June 30, 2009. Our pre-tax, pre-provision for loan loss income stream, primarily net interest income, remains approximately $2.4 million per quarter. The net interest margin increased 35 basis points from 3.35% for the same period in 2009 to 3.70% for the second quarter of 2010.
"Although the second quarter loss is a reflection of the current economic cycle and our determination to quickly identify and resolve potential credit issues in a timely manner, our operation remains strong and our capital levels remain above well-capitalized under all regulatory guidelines. As we navigate through these economic challenges, we remain focused on our long-term strategy of operating in a safe and sound manner," said Jim Bolt, President and CEO.
