JUNEAU, Alaska--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. (OTCBB:AKPB) (aCompanya), the parent company of Alaska Pacific Bank (aBanka), today announced its second quarter results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Net income not excluding preferred stock dividend and discount accretion for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009 was $195,000 and $140,000, respectively. After preferred stock dividend and discount accretion of $46,000 and $74,000, net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009 was $149,000 and $66,000, or $0.23 and $0.10 per diluted share, respectively.

Mortgage banking income increased $10,000 (10.5%) to $105,000 for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $95,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and decreased $116,000 (52.5%) compared to $221,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The decrease from the comparable period in the prior year is associated with a decline in mortgages originated for sale.

Other noninterest income increased $65,000 (24.3%) to $332,000 for the second quarter of 2010 from March 31, 2010 and increased $20,000 (6.4%) from the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Noninterest expense decreased $38,000 (1.8%) to $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2010 from March 31, 2010 and decreased $208,000 (9.1%) from the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The decrease from the comparable period in the prior year is a result of a decrease in compensation expense and real estate owned and repossessed asset expense.

The provision for loan losses decreased $429,000 to $292,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared to $721,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and increased $202,000 compared to $90,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2010 was $2.2 million, representing 1.39% of total loans outstanding and 40% of total non-performing loans. Total non accrual loans were $2.1 million at June 30, 2010 compared with $3.1 million at March 31, 2010 and $7.2 million at June 30, 2009. In addition, the Banka™s real estate owned and repossessed assets were $2.9 million at June 30, 2010 compared with $2.9 million at March 31, 2010 and $69,000 at June 30, 2009. There was a $296,000 net loan charge off for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared to a $302,000 net loan charge off for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and a $20,000 net loan recovery for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Interest income decreased $179,000 (6.9%) to $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009, reflecting a 7.7% decrease in average loans offset with an increase in yield on loans and other earning assets. The net interest margin on average earning assets was 5.28% for the second quarter in 2010 compared with 4.74% in the second quarter of 2009.

Loans (before the allowance and excluding loans held for sale) were $157.3million at June 30, 2010, an increase of $757,000, or 0.5% from March 31, 2010, and a decrease of $10.4 million, or 6.2% from June 30, 2009. Deposits at June 30, 2010, were $146.1million, a $3.2million (2.2%) increase from March 31, 2010 and a $6.6 million (4.4%) decrease from June 30, 2009. The increase in deposits in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2010 is primarily attributable to a seasonal increase in consumer and commercial demand deposit accounts.

These forward-looking statements are based upon current management expectations, and may, therefore, involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of a wide variety or range of factors including, but not limited to: the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs that may be impacted by deterioration in the housing and commercial real estate markets and may lead to increased losses and non-performing assets in our loan portfolio, result in our allowance for loan losses not being adequate to cover actual losses, and require us to materially increase our reserves; changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas; changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources; deposit flows; fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our market areas; adverse changes in the securities markets; results of examinations by our banking regulators including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for loan losses, write-down assets; change our regulatory capital position or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings; the possibility that we will be unable to comply with the conditions imposed upon us in the Memorandum of Understanding entered into with the Office of Thrift Supervision, including but not limited to our ability to reduce our non-performing assets, which could result in the imposition of additional restrictions on our operations including the possibility of a formal enforcement action such as a cease and desist order; our ability to control operating costs and expenses; the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation; difficulties in reducing risk associated with the loans on our balance sheet; staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our work force and potential associated charges; computer systems on which we depend could fail or experience a security breach, or the implementation of new technologies may not be successful; our ability to retain key members of our senior management team; costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; our ability to manage loan delinquency rates; costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business including changes in regulatory policies and principles, including the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules; the availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions; inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board, including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting methods; the economic impact of war or any terrorist activities; other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations; pricing, products and services; time to lease excess space in Company-owned buildings; future legislative changes in the United States Department of Treasury Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program; and other risks detailed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
