Southern Community Financial reported a reduction in the net loss available to common shareholders to $371 thousand in the second quarter of 2010, compared with a net loss of $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 and net loss of $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2009. The net loss per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2010 also decreased to $0.02, compared to $0.31 in the first quarter of 2010 and $0.20 in the second quarter of 2009.

"While it is premature to say that this adverse credit cycle is behind us, we believe that we have identified our largest problem credits, and our allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2010 appropriately reflects the risk inherent in our loan portfolio," said F. Scott Bauer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "During the second quarter of 2010, we charged off a $4.2 million land development loan, which had specific reserves previously allocated. As we had anticipated, this loan accounted for a significant portion of our net charge-offs in the second quarter and the majority of the decrease in the allowance for loan losses during the second quarter. Additionally, we have made substantial progress in resolving other problem credits, and expect write-downs on foreclosed assets to moderate from current levels over the next few quarters. The additions that we are now seeing to nonperforming assets are less pronounced than we experienced in the previous two quarters. Consequently, our allowance for loan losses reflects our expectation that the level of nonperforming loans will begin to moderate in the third quarter of 2010.

Our core bank operations continue to weather the current economic climate well. Our net interest income improved modestly compared to the first quarter and 7% on a year-over-year basis, due to our continued focus on improving our deposit mix towards lower cost deposits. Also during the second quarter on a linked quarter basis, our non-interest income in total increased 11% and non-interest income excluding securities gains and OTTI writedowns increased 21%. This increase is a direct result of our focus on our customers' investment needs as well as the addition of new checking accounts and the resulting debit card income. Our pre-tax, pre-provision earnings improved 3% compared to the first quarter of 2010 and 274% compared to the second quarter of 2009 as a result of our strong core business and the absence of some nonrecurring prior period transactions.

Over the next few quarters, we anticipate continued slow loan demand due to the persistent economic drag across our footprint. Additionally, we believe that our funding costs will remain relatively stable. We remain well capitalized with ratios exceeding regulatory requirements and we expect to remain well capitalized. I wish to thank our customers and shareholders for their strong support and our employees who continue to do an exceptional job."

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans increased to $55.5 million, or 4.63% of total loans, at June 30, 2010 from $50.6 million, or 4.19% of total loans, at March 31, 2010. Nonperforming assets increased to $74.3 million, or 4.47% of total assets, at June 30, 2010 from $70.9 million, or 4.15% of total assets, at March 31, 2010 due primarily to a $4.9 million increase in nonperforming loans offset by a $1.5 million decrease in foreclosed assets during the quarter. Net charge-offs totaled $11.9 million, or 3.95% of average loans on an annualized basis, an increase from $3.6 million, or 1.20% of average loans annualized, from the first quarter 2010.

The provision for loan losses of $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 decreased $4.5 million compared with the first quarter 2010. The allowance for loan losses decreased $6.4 million during the second quarter to $29.6 million, or 2.47% of loans, at June 30, 2010 primarily due to a $4.2 million charge-off of specific reserves that were allocated in prior quarters.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income of $13.4 million in the second quarter of 2010 increased 1% compared to $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2010, and increased 7% compared to $12.6 million in the second quarter of 2009. The net interest margin increased 5 basis points to 3.46% in the second quarter of 2010 compared with 3.41% in the first quarter of 2010, primarily due to lower deposit costs resulting from active liability management with an emphasis on improving the funding mix and lowering funding costs. The modest sequential increase in net interest income in the second quarter of 2010 was due to the impact of the increase in net interest margin partially offset by the $13.6 million decrease in average loan balances. Compared to the second quarter of 2009, the net interest margin increased 41 basis points. The year-over-year growth in net interest income in the second 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 $72.3 million, or 6%, attributable to a slowdown in loan demand due to the current economic environment.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income increased by $439 thousand, or 11%, to $4.4 million during the second quarter of 2010 compared with the first quarter of 2010. The increase in non-interest income primarily resulted from a $274 thousand increase in income from investment brokerage, $162 thousand increase in service charge income, $147 thousand increase in Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) income and a $186 thousand decrease in "other-than-temporary impairment" writedowns. These favorable impacts were reduced by a $336 thousand decrease in gains on sales of investment securities. On a year-over-year comparison, non-interest income in the second quarter of 2010 increased $1.8 million, or 68%, compared with the second quarter of 2009. The year-over-year increase was primarily the result of $874 thousand net increase in derivatives gains, attributable primarily to $1.0 million write-off of collateral held by Lehman as swap counterparty in second quarter 2009, as well as increases in gains on sales of investment securities, SBIC income, income from investment brokerage and service charge income.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses of $12.3 million during the second quarter of 2010 increased $490 thousand, or 4%, on a linked quarter basis. The sequential increase in non-interest expenses was primarily due to the $335 thousand increase in expenses related to foreclosed assets, both write-downs on the carrying values and the costs of acquiring and maintaining foreclosed real estate, and the $198 thousand increase in legal expenses incurred primarily to assist in the resolution of problem credits. Partially offsetting this, the Company reduced discretionary spending on a linked quarter basis by $148 thousand in salaries and employee benefits and $34 thousand in contributions. The Company had a 3% sequential decrease in personnel expenses resulting from staff reductions and 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 June 30, 2010, total assets amounted to $1.7 billion, representing a decrease of $66.6 million, or 4%, year-over-year. On a linked quarter basis, total assets decreased $47.1 million, or 3%. The loan portfolio decreased by $9.9 million, or 1%, sequentially during the second quarter of 2010 and decreased by $52.6 million, or 4%, since June 30, 2009 due to decreased loan demand. Total deposits of $1.3 billion at June 30, 2010 increased $49.1 million, or 4%, year-over-year. Deposits decreased $14.1 million, or 1%, during the second quarter 2010 as the Company continued to shift its deposit mix toward lower cost money market and transaction accounts from certificates of deposit. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $10.3 million, or 9%, and money market, savings, and NOW deposits increased $3.4 million, or 1%, while time deposits decreased $27.8 million, or 5%, compared to the first quarter of 2010.

At June 30, 2010, stockholders' equity of $117.0 million represented 7.05% of total assets. Stockholders' equity increased $102 thousand, or less than 1%, from $116.9 million at March 31, 2010 primarily the result of an increase in other comprehensive income due to an increase in the fair values of investment securities available for sale partially offset by the second quarter loss discussed above. Regulatory capital ratios remain in excess of the "well capitalized" threshold.
