First Reliance Announces 3rd Quarter Results
 
October 26, 2009 Florence, SC - First Reliance Bancshares, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: FSRL), the holding company for First Reliance Bank, announces results for the period ended September 30, 2009.
 
During the third quarter, we have seen improvement in our net interest margin, a reduction in the level of non performing assets, and a decline in the level of commercial real estate concentrations. This quarter’s regulatory capital remains strong and we have experienced growth in core deposits as well as increasing our liquidity. As with many community banks, the recent economic down turn has adversely impacted the quality of our loan portfolio.  We have refined our systems to manage impaired loans and have built a solid credit review process, aggressive risk review methodology and we continue to be conservative and proactive in our lending policies,” said Rick Saunders, President and CEO of First Reliance Bank.
 
“First Reliance’s strategies are designed to keep us in a strong capital, liquidity and credit management position while closely monitoring and controlling expenses.  Despite our growth, noninterest expense remains controlled our liquidity remains strong, and our total delinquency level over 30 days has decreased from the previous quarter,” stated Jeff Paolucci, CFO of First Reliance Bank.
 
As of September 30, 2009, total deposits were $570.9 million, an increase of $123.3 million or 27.55%, over the $447.6 million reported for September 30, 2008. Interest bearing deposit accounts increased 52.11% to $41.3 million for the period ended September 30, 2009. Core Funding increased 11.56% to 60.82%. Total FHLB advances were reduced to $48.0 million, or 24.41% from $63.5 million reported the prior year period. Total cash and cash equivalents increased to $115.7 million from $5.9 million reported September 30, 2008. Total assets increased to $684.1 million from the $573.7 million reported September 30, 2008. Total available for sale securities increased 37.66% to $83.8 million.
 
Total Risk- Based capital increased to 13.14% over 11.34% reported September 30, 2008.
 
Unaudited net income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $ (331,072), compared to $765,178 reported in the prior-year period.  The decline in net income is attributable to the increase in allowance for loan and lease losses. Provisions for loan losses increased to $3.2 million compared to $609,967 during the prior year period. Non-interest income was $2.4 million, compared to $1.2 million reported September 30, 2008. Non-interest expense was $5.1 million and $4.5 million for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Diluted earnings (loss) per share were $(0.16), compared to the $0.22 reported in the prior year period.
 
Unaudited net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $(1.5) million, or $(0.58) per diluted share, compared to $2.2 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
