CLARKSTON, Mich., July 29, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarkston Financial Corporation ("Corporation") (OTCBB: CKFC ), the holding company for Clarkston State Bank ("Bank"), today reported a net income of $232,000 or $0.07 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net income of $182,000 or $.06 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the corporation reported a net income of $512,000 or $0.16 per share compared to a net income of $281,000 or $0.09 per share for the same period in 2013.
J. Grant Smith, CEO, said, "We continue to post very good operating results. Our board and entire team continue to execute our growth plan and our financial results reflect our efforts. Our net interest margin continues to be the catalyst for our positive results. We expect the high net interest margin to continue as we are experiencing good opportunities for both loan and deposit growth. The Bank's asset quality is in good shape with very low delinquency at .22% and non-performing loans at 0.13%, respectively. We are forging ahead with our strategic initiatives and we believe our positive operating performance will continue."
Operating Results
The Corporation's net interest income increased to $1,346,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1,233,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2013. The net interest margin of the Bank continued to improve year over year, ending at 4.93% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, up from 4.72% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This increase in net interest margin is representative of higher levels of noninterest bearing deposits.
Noninterest income remained constant during the second quarter 2014. The quarter ended at $163,000 compared to $169,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $6,000 or 3.55%. Noninterest expense increased, ending the second quarter 2014 at $1,277,000 compared to $1,190,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $87,000 or 7.31%.
Balance Sheet
Total assets at June 30, 2014 were $134,387,000 compared to $127,377,000 at June 30, 2013, an increase of $7,010,000 or 5.50%. The increase in assets is largely due to the reversal of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter 2013 of $4,906,000.
Total loans increased $11,276,000 from $99,103,000 at June 30, 2013 to $110,379,000 at June 30, 2014, an increase of 11.38%. Total deposits increased $568,000 or 0.49%, ending at $116,529,000 for June 30, 2014, up from $115,961,000 at June 30, 2013. Total stockholders' equity increased from $5,706,000 at June 30, 2013 to $11,613,000 at June 30, 2014, an increase of $5,907,000 or 103.52%. This increase is due to the net income in 2013 and 2014, mainly driven by the recapture of $4,906,000 in previously disallowed deferred tax assets in 2013.
Asset Quality
Total non-performing loans decreased to $144,000 at June 30, 2014 compared to $706,000 from the same period 2013, a decrease of $562,000, or 79.60%. The allowance for loan loss decreased to 1.67% of total loans as of June 30, 2014, compared to 2.33% for the same period 2013. Management continually monitors the allowance for loan loss to determine its adequacy.
