Operating Results
The Corporation's net interest income increased to $1,320,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 compared to $1,168,000 for the same period ended December 31, 2012. This represents a 13.02% increase over the prior year. The net interest margin of the Bank displayed growth, ending at 4.87% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, up from 4.65% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.
Noninterest income had a decrease in the fourth quarter 2013, due to the write down of one of the Bank's two remaining other real estate owned properties. The quarter ended at $92,000 compared to $220,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $128,000 or 51.16%. Adjusted for the write down on the other real estate owned property, noninterest income would have been $322,000. Noninterest expense continued to decline year over year, ending the fourth quarter 2013 at $1,423,000 compared to $1,585,000 for the same period ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $162,000 or 10.23%. The decrease represents a decline in the expense related to troubled loans among other operating expenses.
