OXFORD, Mich., July 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oxford Bank
Corporation (OTC:OXBC) (BULLETIN BOARD: OXBC) , the holding company
for Oxford Bank, today announced improved total operating results
for the second quarter and first half of 2009. In the second
quarter, the Corporation posted a net loss of $1,417,000 or $1.22
per share. This represents a 26.0-percent improvement over the net
loss of $1,914,000 or $1.65 per share reported for the same
three-month period in 2008. During the first six months of the
year, operating results increased 34.8-percent to a net loss of
$1,912,000 or $1.65 per share compared to $2,933,000 or $2.54 per
share for the same period in 2008. The on-going strategic decision
by management to manage the Bank's overall size has resulted in a
$65 million reduction in earning assets during the past twelve
months and a $20 million reduction since the beginning of 2009.
Despite this initiative, however, the Corporation continues to
exhibit solid returns in revenues (interest income plus
non-interest income) and net-interest income, due, in part, to
significant reductions in interest-related expenses. Net-interest
income for the second quarter was $2,903,000, weighted against the
$3,606,000 reported during the same period in 2008. For the
six-month period ended June 30, 2009, net-interest income was
$6,038,000 versus $6,926,000 last year. Net revenue for the quarter
was $5,481,000; compared to the $5,712,000 garnered in the first
quarter of the year and the $6,472,000 registered during the second
quarter of 2008. For the year, the Bank has posted net revenue of
$11,193,000 compared to $13,584,000 in 2008. C. James Bess,
president and chief executive officer of the Corporation, issued
the results and commented, "The Bank continues to be challenged by
the quality of the loan portfolio and associated expenses. In spite
of an unprecedented economic environment, there has been some
notable improvement in the degree of loan losses on a year-to-year
basis. Although the Bank's net-interest margin (interest income vs.
interest expense) and liquidity (cash and readily marketable
securities) has remained stable and very good respectively,
operating results reflect a negative impact to income as well as
retained earnings. The costs related to maintaining and disposing
of foreclosed homes and land in OREO (other real-estate owned),
coupled with the costs of FDIC insurance, represent a formidable
obstacle as we look to strengthen the Bank's capital position and
return to profitability. Over the next six months, it will be
essential that we continue to aggressively reduce expenses and
manage the asset base in hopes of achieving our strategic goals. In
the same vein, the Board and management will continue to thoroughly
explore options for attaining new sources of capital." Oxford Bank
