"We continue to work through our Florida problem loans and to reduce our exposure as rapidly as reasonable. I am pleased that our exit of the Florida market remains on track," said James S.

Earnings

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, our net loss was $12.7 million, compared with net earnings of $821,000 for the same period of 2009. Loss per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2010 was $1.16, after deducting preferred dividends, compared with earnings per diluted common share of $0.02 for the same period of 2009. The loss for the quarter was due primarily to credit costs related to the Florida market.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the net loss was $14.9 million, compared with net earnings of $2.0 million for the same period of 2009. The loss per diluted share, after deducting preferred dividends, was $1.46, compared with net earnings of $0.08 for the comparable period of 2009. The loss was due primarily to credit costs and write downs of assets held for sale in Florida.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis (TE) for the second quarter of 2010 was $11.1 million, a decrease of $518,000, or 4.5% compared with the same period of 2009. The net interest margin (TE) contracted 17 basis points to 2.92% during the same comparison period. Net interest income (TE) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $22.7 million, a decrease of $439,000, or 1.9%, compared with the same period of 2009. The net interest margin (TE) contracted 10 basis points during this same comparison period. The decrease in margin for both periods was due primarily to the decrease in loans and an offsetting increase in short term lower yielding investments. On a linked quarter basis (compared with the immediately preceding quarter), net interest income (TE) decreased $553,000, or 4.8%, and the net interest margin decreased 19 basis points. The decrease in margin was due to a combination of lower loan yields, which was due mainly to a $23.5 million increase in nonaccrual loans, and lower securities balances, which were reinvested in temporary investments at lower interest rates.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $1.6 million, or 25.6%, compared with the same period of 2009. The increase was due primarily to the $1.1 million gain on sale of two branches in Florida. In addition, trust and investment management fees increased $504,000, or 12.3%, as assets under management grew 12.7% due to the improvements in the equity markets.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $19.4 million for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $5.7 million, compared with the same period of 2009. Excluding the $2.8 million write down of loans held for sale, noninterest expense was $16.6 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 21.1%, compared with the same period of 2009. The increase was due primarily to a combination of higher compensation expense, foreclosed real estate expense and professional fees. The increase in compensation was due in part to the addition of executive management, loan workout personnel and new lenders to grow the bank's commercial lending platform in Houston.  The increase in foreclosed real estate expense primarily reflected write downs or losses on the sale of properties, the largest of which was a $1.0 million write down of a lot in Florida. The increase in professional fees primarily reflects costs associated with loan collection and the recent filing of our shelf registration statement.

Segment Earnings

On a segment basis, our banking segment showed a net loss of $13.5 million, compared with net earnings of $47,000 in the same period of 2009, due primarily to credit costs in Florida. Our wealth management group had net earnings of $702,000 for the second quarter of 2010, relatively unchanged from the prior year period. Wealth management fees rose due to rising equity valuations, but were partially offset by higher expense, which was primarily compensation related. Our insurance agency showed net earnings of $297,000 for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $21,000.

Loans

Period end loans, including loans held for sale, were $1.1 billion at June 30, 2010, a decrease of $99.3 million, or 8.6%, compared with June 30, 2009. The decrease was due primarily to lower construction and land loans and declining loans outstanding in Florida.

Deposits

Period end deposits, including deposits held for sale were $1.2 billion, at June 30, 2010, an increase of $23.2 million, or 2.0%, compared with June 30, 2009. During the second quarter of 2010, we completed the sale of two branches in the Tampa, Florida area which included deposits totaling $50.5 million. Average deposits were $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $42.7 million, or 3.7%, compared with the same period of 2009.

Credit Quality and Capital Ratios

The provision for loan losses was $18.0 million for the second quarter of 2010, compared with $2.9 million for the same period of 2009. The increase in the provision for loan losses primarily reflects declining collateral values in Florida. Net charge-offs for the second quarter were $16.5 million, or 6.23% of average total loans on an annualized basis, compared with $4.4 million, or 1.50% of average total loans on an annualized basis in the same period of 2009. Commercial loan charge-offs were $13.6 million, the majority of which were in Florida as we reduced the carrying value of our nonperforming loans in Florida down to the underlying collateral values.  We are now carrying Florida nonperforming loans, excluding loans held for sale, at 62.1% of the legal loan balance.  Florida nonperforming loans include $5.5 million of loans held for sale, which are carried at 66.3% of the original loan balance. The allowance for loan losses was $26.7 million, or 2.74% of loans, excluding loans held for sale, at June 30, 2010, compared with $25.2 million, or 2.19% at June 30, 2009.  

At June 30, 2010, nonperforming assets were $77.8 million compared with $51.8 million at March 31, 2010 and $36.6 million at June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2010 nonaccrual loans were $22.4 million in Texas, compared with $8.9 million at March 31, 2010, an increase of $13.6 million. The increase consisted of three relationships: two loans associated with a residence, a land loan, and a loan to an individual, all of which are secured by collateral in excess of the loan amount. At June 30, 2010, nonaccrual loans were $41.8 million in Florida, compared with $31.9 million at March 31, 2010. The increase consisted mainly of several commercial real estate loans. Investment in real estate was $13.6 million at June 30, 2010, compared with $11.1 million at March 31, 2010, an increase of $2.5 million, or 23.1%. The increase was due primarily to the repossession of a $2.2 million parcel of vacant land in Florida. Restructured loans still accruing were $1.1 million at June 30, 2010, compared with $5.7 million at March 31, 2010. The decrease was due primarily to a land loan in Houston that was moved to nonaccrual.

As of June 30, 2010, our estimated Tier 1 risk-based, total risk-based and leverage capital ratios were 14.59%, 15.86%, and 9.93%, respectively. In addition, Encore Bank was considered "well capitalized" pursuant to regulatory capital definitions. Book value per share and tangible book value per share were $13.06 and $9.47 at June 30, 2010, compared with $14.43 and $10.76 at March 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the loss for the quarter and additional shares issued.

(1) Tangible common equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, includes total equity, less preferred equity, goodwill and other intangible assets. Management reviews tangible common equity along with other measures of capital as part of its financial analyses and has included this information because of current interest on the part of market participants in tangible common equity as a measure of capital. The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies.

(1) Net interest income, net interest spread and net interest margin are reported on a taxable-equivalent basis. The taxable-equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income, net interest spread and net interest margin on a fully taxable-equivalent basis. Management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons.
