FSNM First State Bncp (MM)

First State Bancorporation (“First State”) (NASDAQ: FSNM) today announced that with President Obama’s signature on House Bill 3548 on November 6, 2009, which includes an extension of the tax net operating loss (NOL) carryback period from two to five years, First State estimates that it should recover approximately $9.8 million of taxes paid in prior years based on the 2009 tax loss generated through September 30, 2009. The amount is subject to change based on our final tax calculations for the full year of 2009; however, we do not anticipate a significant change. Because First State currently has a valuation allowance offsetting its NOLs due to the uncertainty of the ability to realize them in future years, the amount recovered through the extended carryback will be recorded in earnings and capital in the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2009. The provisions of the carryback do not apply to any bank which has accepted Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds; however, First State has not accepted any TARP funds.

“This change in the tax laws will result in a very welcome boost to our capital,” stated Michael R. Stanford, President and Chief Executive Officer of First State. “Based on our balance sheet totals as of September 30, 2009, this tax benefit is the equivalent of about 45 basis points in total risk based capital for the subsidiary, First Community Bank,” continued Stanford.
