CLARKSTON, Mich., Nov. 4, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarkston Financial Corporation ("Corporation") (OTCBB:CKFC), the holding company for Clarkston State Bank ("Bank"), today reported a net loss of $212,000 or $(0.03) per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of $752,000 or $(1.35) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the corporation reported a net loss of $99,000 or $0.00 per share compared to a net loss of $1,366,000 or $(0.82) per share for the same period in 2010.

Operating Results

The Corporation's net interest income was $1,102,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to $972,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $130,000 or 13.37%. The net interest margin of the Bank showed a slight decrease, ending at 4.44% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, down from 4.68% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. This decrease in net interest margin is representative of the reversal of accrued interest on loans placed onto nonaccrual during the quarter. There was a modest increase in the net interest margin from the quarter ended September 30, 2010, which was 4.37%.

Noninterest income decreased in the third quarter 2011 due to write downs of other real estate owned of $106,000, ending at $61,000 compared to $187,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $126,000 or 67%. Noninterest expense continued to decline, ending the third quarter 2011 at $1,100,000 compared to $1,261,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2010. This represents a decline of $161,000 or 12.77%. This decrease is a direct result of lower costs related to defaulted loans. Also, the completion of the recapitalization has resulted in lower FDIC insurance premiums.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at September 30, 2011 were $114,651,000 compared to $101,984,000 at September 30, 2010, an increase of $12,667,000 or 12.42%. At December 31, 2010 total assets were $103,711,000. The increase in total assets represents the influx of cash related to the recapitalization completed by the Corporation.

Total loans increased $7,924,000 from $81,864,000 at September 30, 2010 to $89,788,000 at September 30, 2011, an increase of 9.68%. Total deposits increased $6,628,000 or 6.84%, ending at $103,538,000 for September 30, 2011, up from $96,910,000 at September 30, 2010.  Total stockholders' equity increased from $(2,753,000) at September 30, 2010 to $7,475,000 at September 30, 2011, an increase of $10,228,000 or 371.52%. This increase is due to the completion of the recapitalization at the Corporation.

Asset Quality

Total non-performing loans have increased to $4,852,000 at September 30, 2011 compared to $2,800,000 from the same period 2010, an increase of $2,052,000, or 73.29%. The significant increase is primarily attributable to a single credit. The allowance for loan loss decreased to 2.41% of total loans as of September 30, 2011, compared to 3.76% for the same period 2010. The decrease was due to favorable trends in the loss history percentages utilized in the allowance for loan loss calculation. Management continually monitors the allowance for loan loss to assure it is adequate for future losses.

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