COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, Aug. 6, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jack W. Gustavel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Idaho Independent Bank ("IIB" or the "Bank") (OTCBB:IIBK), announced IIB's consolidated unaudited financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009.
Mr. Gustavel reported that IIB's net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, was $202,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $936,000, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. An increase in IIB's provision for loan losses contributed to a net loss of $2.7 million, or a loss of $0.43 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the same six-month period a year ago. Prior period earnings per share have been restated to reflect the 5% share dividend distributed to shareholders in December 2008.
Chairman Gustavel stated, "The decrease in earnings for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, was primarily due to the ongoing effects of the deterioration of the real estate markets within the communities the Bank serves as well as the downturn in the local and national economies. Operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, were profitable even with increased provisioning for loan losses and show a positive trend from the first quarter. While we remain well positioned to benefit when the economy recovers, it is reasonable to expect higher than normal levels of loan loss provisions if the economic environment remains distressed or worsens. IIB is committed to building on its strong financial position over the short-term to help position the Bank for better profitability and growth in the future. Despite the challenging economic environment, IIB's Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio at June 30, 2009, increased to 14.45%."
IIB's total assets as of June 30, 2009, decreased $57.0 million, or 9.6%, to $537.8 million from $594.8 million at June 30, 2008. Total loans, including loans held-for-sale, at June 30, 2009, decreased $57.5 million, or 11.5%, to $440.6 million from $498.1 million at June 30, 2008. Total deposits and customer repurchase agreements decreased $38.2 million, or 7.9%, to $446.5 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $484.7 million at June 30, 2008.
As of June 30, 2009, the allowance for loan losses account totaled $18.0 million, or 4.12% of total loans, excluding loans held-for-sale. Non-performing assets totaled $31.2 million, or 5.80% of total assets, at June 30, 2009, compared to $8.2 million, or 1.38% of total assets at June 30, 2008. Non-performing assets at June 30, 2009, included $24.0 million in non-performing loans and $7.2 million in other real estate owned.
