CLARKSTON, Mich., May 2, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarkston Financial Corporation ("Corporation") (OTCBB:CKFC), the holding company for Clarkston State Bank ("Bank"), today reported a net income of $51,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to net loss of ($38,000) or ($0.03) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
J. Grant Smith, CEO, said, "We continue to gain momentum and have begun what we believe is the start of some favorable performance trends for the Corporation. During the first quarter, both loans and deposits posted moderate growth while maintaining strong balance sheet liquidity and an excellent net interest margin. This has resulted in net interest income continuing to improve, posting a 14.05% increase from the first quarter of 2011. However, we are still experiencing higher costs related to the servicing of other real estate owned as well as legal fees associated with workout loans. As asset quality continues to improve we expect these associated costs to decline."
Operating Results
The Corporation's net interest income was $1,169,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to $1,025,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $144,000 or 14.05%. The net interest margin of the Bank showed a modest increase, ending at 4.78% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, up from 4.60% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. This increase in net interest margin is representative of increased loan growth and growth in core deposits.
Noninterest income decreased in the first quarter 2012, due to lower service fees on loan and deposit accounts, ending at $217,000 compared to $226,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $9,000 or 3.98%. Noninterest expense stayed constant, ending the first quarter 2012 at $1,290,000 compared to $1,289,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2011.
Balance Sheet
Total assets at March 31, 2012 were $121,285,000 compared to $110,510,000 at March 31, 2011, an increase of $10,775,000 or 9.75%. The growth in total assets represents the increased cash balances as a result of additional growth in core deposits.
Total loans increased $11,455,000 from $81,027,000 at March 31, 2011 to $92,482,000 at March 31, 2012, an increase of 14.14%. Total deposits increased $11,512,000 or 11.48%, ending at $111,784,000 for March 31, 2012, up from $100,272,000 at March 31, 2011. Total stockholders' equity decreased from $5,451,000 at March 31, 2011 to $3,952,000 at March 31, 2012, a decrease of $1,499,000 or 27.50%. This decrease is due to provision expenses and write-downs on other real estate owned taken in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Asset Quality
Total non-performing loans decreased to $1,964,000 at March 31, 2012 compared to $3,315,000 from the same period 2011, a decrease of $1,351,000, or 40.75%.

Management continually monitors the allowance for loan loss to assure its adequacy.
