Southern Community Financial reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. This compares with a net loss of $11.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and net loss of $50.0 million in the first quarter of 2009, which included a goodwill impairment charge of $49.5 million. The net loss per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2010 was $0.31, compared to $0.68 in the fourth quarter of 2009, and $2.98 in the first quarter of 2009.

"As we previously announced, our first quarter results were impacted by the $10.0 million loan loss provision primarily related to the impairment of two commercial real estate credits. The results also included a $2.0 million valuation allowance on deferred tax assets," said F. Scott Bauer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We completed a comprehensive review of our loan portfolio in the fourth quarter of last year; but the credit cycle continues to be unpredictable. Borrowers that were strong at the beginning of the cycle are becoming more stressed. The troubled commercial real estate market is now emerging; therefore, further reserve building may be necessary during the remainder of this cycle. Accordingly, we will remain focused on aggressively managing, reporting and resolving our problem assets.

"Our core bank operations remain strong. The improvement in our net interest margin in the first quarter of 2010 was the direct result of our continued focus on improving our funding mix with lower cost core deposits. While total deposits decreased slightly compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, money market, savings, and NOW deposits increased 7% and represent 47% of our total deposits, up from 44% in the previous quarter. This is a significant improvement from the first quarter of 2009, when these deposits represented just 35% of our total deposits and certificates of deposit comprised 58% of our total deposits.

"Southern Community remains well capitalized with ratios exceeding regulatory requirements. We are well positioned for a sustainable improvement in the local and national economies."

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans increased to $50.6 million, or 4.19% of total loans, at March 31, 2010 from $37.7 million, or 3.07% of total loans, at December 31, 2009. Nonperforming assets increased to $70.9 million, or 4.15% of total assets, at March 31, 2010 from $57.4 million, or 3.32% of total assets, at December 31, 2009 due primarily to a $12.9 million increase in nonperforming loans during the quarter. Net charge-offs totaled $3.6 million, or 1.20% of average loans on an annualized basis, a decrease from $9.2 million, or 2.92% of average loans annualized, from the fourth quarter 2009. The $12.9 million increase in nonperforming loans reflects an increase of $6.7 million derived from one commercial real estate relationship as well as an increase in the volume of other new nonaccrual loans.

The provision for loan losses of $10.0 million in the first quarter of 2010 decreased $8.0 million compared with the fourth quarter 2009. This level of provision for loan losses primarily resulted from the impairment of two commercial real estate credits, which were identified late in the first quarter. The impairment of these two loans accounted for approximately $5.1 million of the $10.0 million provision for loan losses.

Given the relative magnitude of the provision for loan losses and net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2010 and their impact on deferred tax assets, the income tax benefit on operating losses during the first quarter 2010 was decreased by a $2.0 million valuation allowance on deferred tax assets due to realization considerations.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income of $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 decreased 1% compared to $13.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, and increased 6% compared to $12.6 million in the first quarter of 2009. The net interest margin increased 13 basis points to 3.41% in the first quarter of 2010 compared with 3.28% in the fourth quarter of 2009, primarily due to lower deposit costs resulting from active liability management with an emphasis on improving the funding mix and lowering funding costs. Compared to the first quarter of 2009, the net interest margin increased 40 basis points. The sequential decrease in net interest income in the first quarter of 2010 was due to a $23.6 million decrease in average loan balances, which was generally offset by the increase in net interest margin. The year-over-year growth in net interest income in the first quarter of 2010 resulted primarily from the impact of the Company's deposit and borrowing costs repricing lower than its asset yields which were positively impacted by the increased utilization of interest rate floors on a majority of variable rate loans. Offsetting a portion of this favorable margin variance in comparing year-over-year net interest income was the decrease in average loan balances of $88.1 million, or 7%, due to a slowdown in loan demand due to the current economic environment.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income increased by $427 thousand, or 12%, to $4.0 million during the first quarter of 2010 compared with the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in non-interest income primarily resulted from a $1.4 million increase in investment securities gains. This impact was partially offset by an $883 thousand net decrease in derivatives gains, due primarily to market rate movement and its impact on fair value hedges, and a $186 thousand "other-than-temporary impairment" write-down in equity securities during the quarter. On a year-over-year comparison, non-interest income in the first quarter of 2010 increased $1.4 million, or 53%, compared with the first quarter of 2009. The year-over-year increase was primarily the result of investment sale gains realized during the first quarter of 2010.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses of $11.8 million during the first quarter of 2010 decreased $1.7 million, or 13%, on a linked quarter basis. The sequential decrease in non-interest expenses was primarily due to the $1.1 million reduction in write-downs on carrying values on foreclosed real estate. In addition, the Company reduced discretionary spending on a linked quarter basis by approximately $310 thousand in areas such as marketing, contributions, dues and subscriptions and travel. Other expense reductions of $152 thousand in FDIC insurance and $98 thousand in buyer incentive program expenditures contributed to the decrease in non-interest expenses. The Company contained personnel expenses to a 2% sequential increase due to cost savings programs initiated in prior quarters including a company-wide salary freeze, and a reduction in 401(k) employer matching contributions.

Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2010, total assets amounted to $1.7 billion, representing a decrease of $82.6 million, or 5%, year-over-year. On a linked quarter basis, total assets decreased $21.4 million, or 1%. The loan portfolio decreased by $21.8 million, or 2%, sequentially during the first quarter of 2010 and decreased by $89.0 million, or 7%, since March 31, 2009 due to a decrease in loan demand. Total deposits of $1.3 billion at March 31, 2010 increased $9.5 million, or 1%, year-over-year. While total deposits decreased $7.1 million, or less than 1%, during the first quarter 2010, the Company continued to shift its deposit mix toward lower cost money market and transaction accounts from certificates of deposit. Time deposits decreased $43.4 million, or 7%, during the first quarter of 2010 as money market, savings and NOW deposits increased $41.4 million.

At March 31, 2010, stockholders' equity of $116.9 million represented 6.85% of total assets. Stockholders' equity decreased $5.1 million, or 4%, from $122.0 million at December 31, 2009 primarily due to the first quarter loss discussed above. Regulatory capital ratios remain in excess of the "well capitalized" threshold.
