Clarkston Financial Corporation Reports Financial Results and Announces Recapitalization Plan


CLARKSTON, Mich., May 11, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarkston Financial Corporation (OTCBB:CKFC), the holding company for Clarkston State Bank, today reported operating results for the first quarter and 12 months ended December 31, 2009.

Total revenues for Q1-2010 -- net interest income plus noninterest income -- were $1,148,000, compared with total revenues of $1,472,000 for Q1-2009. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2009, total revenues were $4,446,000, versus $7,286,000 for 2008. Net interest income was lower, year-over-year, from the systematic reduction of the balance sheet, as the Bank continues to work through asset-quality problems. Nonetheless, net interest margin improved for both reporting periods.

The net loss for the first quarter of 2010 was $267,000, or ($0.12) per diluted share, compared to net income of $84,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the year earlier period. For 2009, the net loss was $4,409,000, or ($3.02) per diluted share, substantially improved from the net loss of $9,214,000, or ($7.11) per diluted share, for 2008.

J. Grant Smith, CEO, said, "Despite the weakness of Michigan's economy, we are seeing signs of improvement in our markets. We remain focused on our turnaround plan and remain committed to our key goals. We are continuing to work through remaining asset-quality issues within our loan portfolio. We are also making great strides toward returning to profitability. Most notably we have received commitments from members of our board of directors and several outside investors to fully recapitalize the Bank. We are currently seeking regulatory and shareholder approval and expect to have these in place in the third quarter."  

Clarkston State Bank opened in January 1999 and operates four branches in Clarkston, Waterford, and Independence Township, Michigan.
