VINELAND, N.J., Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sun Bancorp, Inc. today reported net income of $5.9 million, or $.26 per share, up 21.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to net income of $4.9 million, or $.22 per share, for the third quarter 2006. The current quarter includes charges of approximately $435,000 (pre-tax), or $.01 per share. The charges represent approximately $250,000 to write-off unamortized issuance costs relating to the call of Sun Trust IV trust preferred securities and $185,000 related to several branch consolidations during the quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported net income of $15.5 million, or $.68 per share, compared to $12.8 million, or $.58 per share, in the prior period -- an increase of 20.8%. Net income for nine months ended September 30, 2007 includes net charges of approximately $2.1 million (pre-tax), or $.06 per share. The charges were a result of $2.4 million of severance related expenses, $791,000 write-off to unamortized issuance costs relating the call of Sun Trust III and Sun Trust IV trust preferred securities, $185,000 of branch consolidation costs, and an early extinguishment of debt charge of $124,000 for an FHLB borrowing prepayment, offset by a net gain of $1.4 million realized in the first quarter from the sale of branches. The prior year comparable period included severance related expenses of $500,000 (pre-tax), or $.02 per share.

"Our financial performance during the third quarter and for the first nine months has been consistent and is tracking essentially as planned," said Sidney R. Brown, acting president and chief executive officer of Sun Bancorp, Inc. "Loan production was steady with a solid pipeline, although prepayments still continue to have an impact primarily on real estate-related loans. Deposit growth continued to be steady as we managed deposit costs down, contributing to improvements in the net interest margin on a linked quarter and comparable year-to-date basis. We are also pleased to report that the efficiency ratio broke below the 70% level for the first time in recent history. Needless to say, we will be focused on continuing to improve it."

"The board of directors of Sun Bancorp has appointed A. Bruce Dansbury as the company's permanent chief operating officer," added Brown. "He has been serving as executive vice president and interim chief operating officer, managing Sun National Bank's daily operations and reporting to the board. In this role, he oversees the bank's senior executive team and focuses on strategic and tactical decisions to continue delivering competitive products and services to Sun's customer base. He also serves as the bank's senior credit officer and chief credit policy officer, a position in which he is responsible for Sun's credit products and policies, as well as providing senior-level review and management of Sun's credit portfolio."

The following is an overview of the key financial highlights for the quarter:

-- Total assets were $3.296 billion at September 30, 2007, compared to $3.264 billion at September 30, 2006 and $3.326 billion at June 30, 2007. -- Total loans before allowance for loan losses were $2.473 billion at September 30, 2007, an increase of $121.6 million, or 5.2% over total loans at September 30, 2006. Linked quarter loan growth normalized for prepayments of about $25.0 million during the quarter approximated 2.1%. Total loan growth over year end 2006 normalized for prepayments and a branch sale approximates 10.0%. -- Total non-performing assets of $22.2 million at September 30, 2007, or .90%, of total gross loans and real estate owned, compares to $16.5 million, or .67%, at June 30, 2007, and $15.2 million, or .64%, at December 31, 2006. Non-accrual loans increased $3.7 million over linked quarter primarily as a result of a $2.5 million loan to a single borrower which is adequately collateralized. Loans past due 90 days and accruing increased $1.7 million over linked quarter due primarily to two loans that are expected to be paid in full early in the fourth quarter. -- Total deposits were $2.682 million at September 30, 2007, an increase of $45.3 million, or 1.7%, over deposits at September 30, 2006. Deposit growth normalized for branch sales was 3.2% for the same period. Average total deposits decreased over the linked quarter 1.5% primarily in certificates of deposit, which was consistent with the Company's funding strategy. -- Net interest income (tax-equivalent basis) of $25.8 million for the quarter compares to $25.2 million for the comparable prior year period and $23.9 million for the linked second quarter. The net interest margin reported of 3.49% for the quarter is normalized at 3.53% to reflect the $250,000 of unamortized issuance costs of redeemed trust preferred securities during the quarter. The linked quarter net interest margin reported at 3.19% is also normalized at 3.26% to reflect the $541,000 write-off of unamortized issuance costs of redeemed trust preferred securities during the quarter. The net interest margin reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of 3.34% is normalized at 3.37% and compares to net interest margin of 3.46% for the comparable prior year period. The linked quarter margin improvement reflects a net spread increase of 30 basis points. This increase is due to an increase in the interest-earning assets yield of 15 basis points and a decrease of 15 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. -- Total operating non-interest income for the quarter of $6.0 million increased $743,000, or 14.1%, over the comparable prior year period and decreased 4.5% over the linked quarter. The primary increase year-over- year was attributable to increases in service charges on deposit accounts of $397,000, or 12.5%. The linked quarter decrease is primarily due to a reduction in derivative product volume resulting from lower market interest rates. -- Total operating non-interest expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $64.7 million decreased $2.3 million, or 3.4%, over the comparable prior year period. The primary decreases are salaries and employee benefits of $1.4 million, or 4.0%, and occupancy and equipment expenses of $717,000, or 4.9%. FDIC expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased $585,000 over the comparable prior year period due to the FDIC reform legislation effective for 2007. Total operating non-interest expenses for the quarter of $21.7 million increased $171,000, or .80%, over the third quarter 2006 and decreased $147,000 over the linked second quarter.

The Company continues to focus on its profitability enhancement initiatives with particular emphasis on expense savings. The Company achieved a record low 69.4% efficiency ratio for the quarter, which compares to 71.3% for the prior year and 73.8% for the linked second quarter.
