FFW Corporation: FFW Corporation Announces Fourth Quarter and June 30, 2009 Year End Results
WABASH, IN--(Marketwire - August 14, 2009) - FFW Corporation (the "Corporation") (
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Corporation reported net income of $109,000. This is compared to net income of $565,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The earnings decrease for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 reflected a decrease of approximately 80.7% over the same period in fiscal year 2008. The decrease is primarily due to an increase to the provision for loan losses, recognition of other-than-temporary impairments on certain securities and expense for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) special assessment insurance premium. During the quarter, the FDIC issued a final rule imposing a 5 basis point special assessment on depository institution's total assets (less Tier 1 capital) as reported at June 30, 2009. The special assessment is payable September 30, 2009.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, the Corporation reported net loss of ($2,387,000). This is compared to net income of $2,602,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The twelve month period ended June 30, 2009 includes security losses of approximately $7,743,000, an increase in the loan loss provision of $1,078,000 and an increase in FDIC insurance assessments of approximately $517,000. The security losses include the non-cash impairment charge of $6,692,000 related to certain Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") preferred stocks. These securities were sold prior to December 31, 2008.
Roger K. Cromer, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The past fiscal year has proven to be very challenging financially to our company. Based on the current economic environment, we wrote down securities and continued to build our allowance for loan loss reserve. Our capital levels are strong and we had growth in loans and deposits during the year. While we are disappointed in our results, we believe the actions taken will preserve and protect our franchise value over the long term."
The three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2009 represent a return on average common equity of (0.18%) and (12.57%), respectively. Return on average total assets for the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2009 was 0.16% and (0.74%).
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans receivable was 1.53% at June 30, 2009 and 1.20% at June 30, 2008. Nonperforming assets increased to $4.8 million at June 30, 2009 from $3.3 million at June 30, 2008.
As of June 30, 2009, FFWC's equity-to-assets ratio was 8.26% compared to 7.46% at June 30, 2008. Total assets at June 30, 2009 were $332.6 million compared to $315.9 million at June 30, 2008. The combined $10.4 million increase in available for sale securities and net loans receivable was funded through a $17.4 million increase in total deposits. The deposit growth was also used to pay down outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank advances by $7.2 million. The $2.6 million increase in other assets was largely attributable to the deferred tax asset that resulted from the sale of Fannie Mae preferred stock. The $2.6 million increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities is attributable to a trade date payable for a security that was purchased prior to year-end, but did not settle until after year-end. Shareholders' equity was $27.5 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $23.6 million at June 30, 2008. Crossroads Bank exceeds all applicable regulatory requirements to be considered "well capitalized."
