For the three months ended March 31, 2013:
Net income decreased $50,000 to $407,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to net income of $457,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Net interest income decreased $165,000, or 5.1%, to $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. A decrease of $443,000 in interest income was partially offset by a $278,000 decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest income was the result of a decrease in the average interest rate earned on loans from 5.03% to 4.75%, a $21.6 million decrease in the average balance of loans and a decrease in the average rate earned on investments from 2.14% to 1.49%, partially offset by a $60.1 million increase in the average balance of investments. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposits from 0.95% to 0.64%, partially offset by a $20.6 million increase in the average balance of outstanding deposits. Changes in interest rates are reflective of decreases in overall market rates.
The provision for loan losses was $110,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to $333,000 for the same quarter in the prior year, representing a decrease of $223,000 or 67.0%. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to improving asset quality.
Other income increased $61,000, or 6.9%, to $949,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $888,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase in other income was primarily due to a $196,000 increase in gain on sale of investments, partially offset by a $128,000 increase in loss on sale of other real estate owned. The increase in loss on sale of other real estate owned was primarily the result of the sale of a nonresidential property.
Noninterest expense increased $371,000, or 12.1%, from $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $3.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to increases of $109,000 in compensation and employee benefits, $81,000 in deposit insurance premium, $81,000 in data processing expense and $130,000 in other operating expenses. The increase in compensation and employee benefits expense was primarily due to the addition of employees in the accounting and collections departments, additional payroll expense associated with the implementation of a new core processing and branch network communication system, and annual wage increases. The increase in deposit insurance premium is reflective of an overall increase in average deposits in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in data processing expense was primarily due to the implementation of a new branch network communication system. The increase in other operating expenses is primarily due to increased expenses associated with OREO properties during the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2013:
Net income stayed flat at $1.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Net interest income decreased $907,000, or 8.7%, to $9.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $10.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. A decrease of $1.5 million in interest income was partially offset by a $595,000 decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest income was the result of a decrease in the average interest rate earned on loans from 5.37% to 4.89%, a $15.3 million decrease in the average balance of loans and a decrease in the average rate earned on investments from 2.23% to 1.74%, partially offset by a $42.4 million increase in the average balance of investments. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposits from 1.02% to 0.77%, partially offset by a $17.7 million increase in the average balance of outstanding deposits and a $6.0 million increase in the average balance of outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Changes in interest rates are reflective of decreases in overall market rates.
The provision for loan losses was $585,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $1.9 million for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $1.3 million or 69.4%. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to improving asset quality.
Other income increased $164,000, or 5.1%, to $3.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 from $3.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in other income was primarily due to a $346,000 increase in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by a $104,000 decrease in gain on sale of investments and a $83,000 increase in loss on sale of other real estate owned. The increase in loan sales to Freddie Mac in the March 31, 2013 period compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to an increase in refinancing activity as a result of the continued low interest rate environment. The increase in loss on sale of other real estate owned was primarily the result of the sale of a nonresidential property.
Noninterest expense increased $868,000, or 9.3%, from $9.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 to $10.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to increases of $272,000 in compensation and employee benefits, $148,000 in deposit insurance premium, $184,000 in data processing expense and $184,000 in other operating expenses, as well as a $105,000 provision for loss on real estate owned in the nine months ended March 31, 2013 compared to no such provision in the prior year nine month period. The provision for loss on real estate owned was due to additional write-downs of two commercial OREO properties.
Total assets were $526.0 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $495.9 million at June 30, 2012. Total assets increased $30.0 million, or 6.0%, primarily as a result of a $58.4 million increase in investment securities, partially offset by a $24.7 million decrease in loans. The increase in our investment securities was the result of purchases of mortgage-backed securities and available for sale securities with the funds received in connection with the conversion from a mutual holding company form of organization to the stock holding company form on January 9, 2013. The decrease in loans was primarily the result of net payoffs totaling $9.3 million reduction in one- to four-family real estate loans, payoffs aggregating $8.0 million for performing commercial real estate loans and transfers to OREO totaling $2.5 million during the nine month period ended March 31, 2013.
Total liabilities were $451.0 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $440.9 million at June 30, 2012, reflecting a $10.0 million increase in deposits. The increase in deposits was primarily due to a $9.6 million increase in retail deposits.
Total stockholders' equity was $75.0 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $55.0 million at June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily the result of net proceeds from the stock conversion totaling $21.6 million, net income of $1.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, and a $612,000 contribution of cash by United Community MHC, partially offset by dividends paid and accrued totaling $2.0 million during the nine month period and common stock acquired by the ESOP of $1.6 million. At March 31, 2013, the Bank was considered "well-capitalized" under applicable regulatory requirements.
