Southern Community Financial reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $488 thousand for the first quarter 2011, compared with a net loss of $11.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 and net loss of $5.2 million for the first quarter 2010. The net loss per diluted common share in the first quarter 2011 decreased to $0.03, compared to $0.68 and $0.31 for the fourth quarter 2010 and first quarter 2010, respectively.

"We are pleased to report a profit before preferred dividend for the first quarter of 2011. We also are very encouraged by the 20% reduction in our nonperforming loans during the first quarter of 2011 and by continued positive trends in our impaired loans," said F. Scott Bauer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The first quarter of 2011 marked the fourth consecutive quarter in which our loan delinquencies have decreased. Impaired loans requiring specific reserves dropped $14.5 million, or 52%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. We are continuing to make progress in the resolution of the formerly collateral dependent loans that were added to nonaccrual status during the third quarter of 2010. Given these developments, we are optimistic that our nonperforming loans will continue to decrease in the second quarter of 2011, particularly as we anticipate additional formerly collateral dependent loans to be returned to accruing status. As a result, we continue to expect opportunities for net interest margin improvement in the second quarter of 2011.

While we are optimistic about the positive trends we are seeing in our asset quality, we continue to anticipate shrinkage in our overall loan portfolio and balance sheet as loan demand remains weak due to the prolonged economic downturn. However, this shrinkage will allow us to better manage our capital during the current economic cycle.

Our employees continue to exceed my expectations for their exemplary commitment to providing our customers with the highest level of service possible. Southern Community remains well funded with regulatory capital ratios in excess of the well-capitalized requirements at the consolidated Company level and with a Tier 1 leverage ratio in excess of 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio above 12% at the Bank level."

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans decreased $18.0 million to $73.8 million, or 6.80% of total loans, at March 31, 2011 from $91.8 million, or 8.08% of total loans, at December 31, 2010. Included in the $18.0 million net reduction in nonperforming loans, there are $11.0 million in formerly collateral dependent loans that were restored to an accruing status during first quarter of 2011 as a result of consistent payment performance on these loans over a reasonable period subsequent to the addition of principal curtailments to the borrowers' scheduled loan payments. Loans delinquent 30-89 days declined to $3.4 million at March 31, 2011 from $5.5 million at December 31, 2010, and from $8.9 million at September 31, 2010. Nonperforming assets decreased to $96.8 million, or 6.04% of total assets, at March 31, 2011 from $109.1 million, or 6.60% of total assets, at December 31, 2010.

The provision for loan losses of $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 decreased $2.4 million from $6.5 million in the fourth quarter 2010. The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) decreased $1.9 million to $27.7 million, or 2.55% of total loans, from $29.6 million, or 2.60% of total loans, at December 31, 2010. Net charge-offs decreased sequentially to $6.0 million, or 2.19% of average loans on an annualized basis, from $12.0 million, or 4.10% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the fourth quarter 2010. As the overall ALLL decreased sequentially during the first quarter of 2011, the specific allowance for impaired loans decreased by $2.3 million to $2.8 million on a linked quarter basis as the volume of impaired loans requiring a specific allowance decreased to $15.9 million at March 31, 2011 from $28.2 million at December 31, 2010.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income of $12.8 million in the first quarter of 2011 increased $426 thousand, or 3%, compared to $12.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the net interest margin increased 28 basis points to 3.42% compared with 3.14% in the fourth quarter of 2010. The sequential increase in net interest income and the net interest margin resulted from the impact of $11.0 million in formerly collateral dependent loans that were reinstated to accrual status as well as the continued downward repricing of deposits. These positive factors were partially offset by a $44.4 million decrease in the average balance of earning assets, driven by a $50.7 million decrease in average loan balances.

On a year-over-year basis, net interest income decreased $416 thousand, or 3%, and the net interest margin increased by one basis point from 3.41% in the first quarter of 2010. The decrease in net interest income year-over-year was due primarily to a $52.6 million decrease in the average balance of earning assets partially offset by the favorable impact of the cost of interest-bearing liabilities repricing downward to a greater extent than the yield on earning assets.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income decreased by $1.3 million, or 31%, to $2.9 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared with the fourth quarter of 2010. The sequential decrease in non-interest income was attributable primarily to a $526 thousand decrease in the fair value of derivatives, a $451 thousand decrease in mortgage banking income, a $129 thousand decrease in service charge income and a $118 thousand decrease in investment brokerage fee income. These sequential decreases in non-interest income were slightly offset by a $116 thousand improvement in Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) income.

Compared to the first quarter of 2010, non-interest income decreased by $1.1 million, or 27%. The year-over-year decrease was primarily related to a $574 thousand decrease in the fair value of derivatives and a $410 thousand decrease in gains on investment security sales.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses of $11.5 million during the first quarter of 2011 decreased $1.1 million, or 9%, on a linked quarter basis. The sequential reduction in non-interest expenses was attributable to a decrease in writedowns on foreclosed property of $1.3 million, a $199 thousand decrease in other expenses related to foreclosed real estate and a $357 thousand decrease in salaries and employee benefits. Offsetting a portion of these sequential decreases, there were sequential increases in other non-interest expense categories of $711 thousand in total, the largest of which was a $598 thousand increase in FDIC insurance premiums.

Compared to the first quarter of 2010, non-interest expenses decreased $360 thousand, or 3%. This year-over-year decrease was due primarily to a $723 thousand decrease in salaries and employee benefits, and a $132 thousand decrease in occupancy and equipment expenses. These expense reductions more than offset a $456 thousand increase in other non-interest expenses, the largest of which was a $586 thousand increase in FDIC insurance premiums.

Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2011, total assets amounted to $1.6 billion, representing a decrease of $49.5 million, or 3%, compared to December 31, 2010. Total assets decreased $103.3 million, or 6%, on a year-over-year basis. The loan portfolio decreased by $46.6 million, or 4%, sequentially, and decreased by $125.0 million, or 10%, since March 31, 2010 due to decreased loan demand resulting from the prolonged weak economic conditions. Total deposits of $1.3 billion at March 31, 2011 decreased $69.2 million, or 5%, sequentially due to an $85.5 million decrease in interest bearing deposits offset by a $16.3 million increase in demand deposits.

At March 31, 2011, stockholders' equity of $91.9 million represented 5.73% of total assets. Stockholders' equity decreased $487 thousand, or less than one percent, to $91.9 million from $92.3 million at December 31, 2010. The regulatory capital ratios at the Bank at March 31, 2011 were in excess of the levels required under the Consent Order with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.10% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.05%.
