Don Haake, President and CEO stated, “Our Company continues to move in the right direction as business opportunities remain plentiful, asset quality sound and earnings strong. The solid earnings growth through the third quarter is the result of a strong business development effort that has produced quality loan and business relationships. Loans at the end of the third quarter totaled $204.9 million, up $16.5 million, or 8.8% over year-end with total deposits increasing to $176.6 million, up $12.6 million, or 7.7% over year-end.
Capital
Stockholders’ equity totaled $29.6 million at September 30, 2017, compared to $27.5 million at December 31, 2016. All of the Bank’s capital ratios remain strong and in excess of the current regulatory definition of a “well capitalized” institution. At September 30, 2017, the Bank’s Tier One Leverage Capital Ratio was 13.24% and the Bank’s total risk based capital ratio was 16.66%. In addition, the new Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio was 15.40% for the third quarter, which is in excess of the 4.5% current minimum regulatory threshold and the fully transitioned ratio of 7.0% for the year 2019. In addition, book value reached $9.07 per share compared to market value of $9.00 per share, with a market to book ratio of approximately 99%.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $2,125,000 for the quarter ending September 30, 2017, compared to $1,936,000, for the quarter ending September 30, 2016 – an increase of $189,000, or 9.8%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net interest income was $6,145,000, compared to $5,711,000 for the same period in 2016 – an increase of $434,000 or 7.6%. The Bank’s net interest margin (NIM) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, remained strong at 3.89%, compared to 3.90% for the period ended September 30, 2016.
Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense for the quarter ending September 30, 2017, increased $83,000, or 7.2%, to $1,237,000, compared to $1,154,000, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

With the Newark Branch opening in November of last year, the increase in expense is primarily related to the new branch operations and in-line with budget forecasts and targeted expense control.

The bank had two non-performing loans totaling $550,000 at September 30, 2017, as compared to $220,000, for the same period last year. An additional loan was added to nonaccrual this quarter in the amount of $453,000. We are attempting to work through this matter with the borrower; however, we will pursue foreclosure, if deemed necessary. Also, it should be noted that one non-performing loan paid-off in February 2017 in the amount of $110,000. We still have one OREO property on the books for $1.25 million, with a value of $1.45 million based on a current appraisal, which is currently under contract of sale.
