Surrey Bancorp Reports First Quarter Net Income of $664,057
MOUNT AIRY, NC--(Marketwire - Apr 20, 2012) - Surrey Bancorp (the "Company") (
For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, net income totaled $664,057 or $0.16 per fully diluted share, compared with $552,191 or $0.13 per fully diluted common share earned during the first quarter of 2011.
The increase results from an improved net interest margin and a reduction in the provision for loan losses. Net interest income increased from $2,176,628 in the first quarter of 2011 to $2,320,600 for the first quarter of 2012. The improvement in the net interest margin is attributable to a continued reduction in deposit costs. The loan loss provision decreased from $158,897 in the first quarter of 2011 to $67,218 in 2012 due to a reduction in net loan charge offs.
The allowance for loan loss reserves was $3,901,758 or 2.15 percent of total loans as of March 31, 2012. Non-performing assets were 2.04 percent of total assets at March 31, 2012, compared to 2.23 percent on that date in 2011. At March 31, 2012, the allowance equals 76 percent of impaired and non-performing assets, net of government guarantees.
Noninterest income increased 11.2 percent, from $593,478 in the first quarter of 2011 to $659,837 in the first quarter of 2012, primarily due to increased revenues from the Bank's subsidiary operations. Noninterest expenses increased in the first quarter of 2012 to $1,853,644, which represents a 7.1 percent increase from the $1,730,372 reported at the end of the first quarter of 2011. This increase is primarily attributable to increased salaries and benefit costs, occupancy repair and maintenance costs, and expenses related to deposit operations.
Total assets as of March 31, 2012, were $228,421,181, an increase of 1.37 percent from $225,335,216 reported as of March 31, 2011. Total deposits were $187,184,571 at quarter-end 2012, a 1.38 percent increase from the $184,641,921 reported at the end of the first quarter of 2011. Net loans increased to $177,420,797, compared to $176,469,043, as of March 31, 2011.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report refers to the overhead efficiency ratio, which is computed by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. This is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe provides investors with important information regarding our operational efficiency. Comparison of our efficiency ratio with those of other companies may not be possible, because other companies may calculate the efficiency ratio differently. Such information is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be construed as such. Management believes such financial information is meaningful to the reader in understanding operating performance, but cautions that such information not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP. Surrey Bancorp, in referring to its net income, is referring to income under GAAP.
