Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $6,171,000 ($1.04 basic and fully diluted earnings per share) as compared to $5,460,000 ($0.93 basic and $0.92 fully diluted earnings per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a 13% increase. Earnings for the second quarter and first six months were the highest in Malaga Financial’s history for those periods and resulted in an annualized pre-tax return on average equity of 25.26%.

At June 30, 2012, the Company reported one delinquent loan and no real estate owned. The delinquent loan is a single family loan with an outstanding principal balance of $2.7 million and was one payment delinquent.

Net interest income totaled $7,731,000 in the second quarter of 2012, up $606,000 or 9% from the second quarter of 2011. This increase resulted from a $7 million or 1% increase in average interest earning assets to $809 million, and an increase of 0.29% in the interest rate spread to 3.71%. The increase in the interest rate spread was due to a decline in the weighted average cost of funds of 0.53%, which exceeded the 0.24% decline in the weighted average yield on interest earning assets.

Operating expenses remained stable with a small decrease of less than 1% in the second quarter of 2012, to $2,577,000 from $2,583,000 in the second quarter of 2011.

Randy C. Bowers, President and CEO, remarked, “As we continue to execute our business plan the results are reflected in another quarter of record earnings. Our pre-tax annualized ROE of over 25% during the quarter allows us to reward our shareholders and employees while also supporting our community both financially and through our volunteer efforts.”

Malaga’s total assets reached $833 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $824 million at June 30, 2011. The loan portfolio at June 30, 2012 was $794 million, an increase of $13 million or 2% from June 30, 2011. Malaga originates loans principally for its own portfolio and not for sale.

Retail deposits totaled $509 million as of June 30, 2012, a $22 million or 5% increase from $487 million at June 30, 2011. The retail deposit growth was used to repay wholesale deposits and FHLB borrowings, which decreased $24 million or 10% from $232 million at June 30, 2011 to $208 million at June 30, 2012. The weighted average cost of funds for the second quarter of 2012 was 1.27% versus 1.80% for the second quarter of 2011.
