Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”) (NASDAQ: JAXB), holding company for The Jacksonville Bank (“Bank”), reported net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 of $1.3 million, or $.22 per basic and diluted common share, compared to the third quarter 2010 net loss of $349 thousand, or ($.20) per basic and diluted common share. Net income was $2.8 million, or $.47 per basic and diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of $2.3 million, or ($1.33) per basic and diluted common share, for the same period in 2010. Book value and tangible book value per common share at September 30, 2011 were $9.52 and $6.76, respectively.

On November 16, 2010, Bancorp acquired Atlantic BancGroup, Inc. (“ABI”) pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger that provided for the merger of ABI with and into Bancorp. The ABI merger increased our branch locations from five full-service branches to eight full-service branches, as well as expanded our geographic footprint into the Jacksonville Beaches market. In addition, we acquired approximately $158.0 million in net loans and $231.3 million in deposits.

Total assets were $607.9 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $427.8 million at September 30, 2010. Net loans increased by 25.7% to $465.9 million as of September 30, 2011, compared to $370.5 million as of September 30, 2010. Total deposits increased 41.6% to $511.8 million as of September 30, 2011, compared to $361.4 million as of September 30, 2010. When comparing deposits to December 31, 2010, there has been a reduction in total deposits of $50.4 million driven by run-off in more costly time deposits of $52.6 million, and MMDA, NOW and savings deposits of $7.3 million, offset by an increase in noninterest-bearing accounts of $9.5 million, or 13.1%.

On February 11, 2011, as a result of the Company’s strategy to strengthen its balance sheet by lowering the amount of substandard assets, the Bank sold 40 substandard loans for $13.9 million through a bulk sale. These loans were classified as held-for-sale on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 and through the date of the sale at their fair value.

Price Schwenck, President and CEO of the Company, made these comments: “September 30, 2011 marked the third full quarter since the merger with ABI. We continue to be pleased with the results of that transaction as well as our operating results overall. Our dedication to serving our customers and community is stronger than ever and we feel fortunate that our core earnings have positioned us well in this challenging economic environment. We remain diligent in our efforts to work with our customers to remediate problem assets which will result in enhancing our operating performance in the future.”

The Bank continued to exceed regulatory standards of being “well capitalized” with total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage capital at 11.1%, 9.8% and 8.2%, respectively, at September 30, 2011.

As of September 30, 2011, nonperforming assets were $56.0 million, or 9.2% of total assets, compared to $22.1 million, or 5.17% of total assets a year ago. The increase in nonperforming assets from the third quarter of 2010 to the third quarter of 2011 is primarily a result of the challenging current economic environment and the real estate market in which the Company operates. As of September 30, 2011, nonperforming assets acquired in the ABI merger were $13.2 million, or 23.7%, of total nonperforming assets as of September 30, 2011.


The following table presents information concerning nonperforming assets as of the last four quarters and includes unaudited pro forma information for the period ended September 30, 2010 as if the acquisition of ABI had occurred at the beginning of 2010.

Nonperforming loans and total loans exclude amounts classified as loans held-for-sale as of December 31, 2010

The decrease in loans past due 30-89 days in the current quarter, still accruing interest, is largely due to a migration of loans to nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans increased $12.1 million from $39.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $51.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

The allowance for loan losses was 2.75% of total loans at September 30, 2011, compared to 2.35% for the comparable period in 2010 and 2.55% at December 31, 2010. Provision for loan loss expense was $1.7 million and $4.8 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $799,000 and $5.1 million for the same periods in 2010. The Company has recorded net charge-offs of $533 thousand and $4.6 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $125 thousand and $3.0 million for the comparable periods in 2010. The increased level of charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is due to ongoing deterioration of collateral values as a result of the current economic environment and the Company’s strategy to strengthen its balance sheet by lowering the amount of substandard assets through such avenues as short sales.

Net income for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 increased to $1.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $349,000 and $2.3 million during the comparable periods in 2010. The increase in net income is primarily driven by the acquisition of ABI that resulted in the net accretion of purchase accounting adjustments. Net income also increased due to a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Pre-provision, pre-OREO, pre-M&A and pre-tax earnings were $2.2 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to $1.2 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in pre-provision, pre-OREO, pre-M&A, and pre-tax earnings from the previous year is due to the acquisition of ABI.

Interest income increased by $2.1 million and $6.4 million during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. This was due to an increase in average earning assets of $153.3 million and $149.1 million during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. The yield on these assets increased to 5.45% and 5.51% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 5.46% and 5.43% for the same periods in the prior year. The increase in average earning assets was due to the merger with ABI. Further, loans acquired in the merger with ABI had a yield that was higher than the contractual rate of interest as a result of purchase accounting adjustments. This resulted in additional interest income of approximately $961 thousand and $2.6 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011. This was offset by the increase in loans on nonaccrual for which the Company does not recognize interest income.


Interest expense decreased by $185 thousand and $943 thousand during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. This was partially due to a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 1.46% and 1.49% for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 2.08% and 2.26% for the same periods in the prior year. This decrease reflects the ongoing reduction in interest rates paid on deposits as a result of the re-pricing of deposits in the current market environment. Additionally, the Company has adopted a strategy to allow our more expensive national CD’s to run-off as they mature as well as our local CD’s to run-off or reprice at our current local rates as they mature. This decrease is offset by the increase in our volume of interest-bearing deposits as a result of the deposits acquired in the merger with ABI for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year.

The additional interest income from loans acquired from ABI is also driving the increase in the net interest margin to 4.22% and 4.24% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 3.61% and 3.42% for the same periods in the prior year. The impact of the additional income related to the accretion of purchase accounting adjustments adds approximately 67 basis points to the net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 60 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Noninterest income for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 increased to $376 thousand and $1.2 million, respectively, when compared to $299 thousand and $833 thousand in the comparable periods in the prior year. The increase is driven largely by the increased volume of transactions as a result of the merger with ABI. In addition, there was a small gain on the sale of municipal securities in the second quarter of 2011.

Noninterest expense increased to $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $10.4 million during the same period in 2010. The 29.8% increase in expense is attributable to additional costs absorbed as a result of the merger with ABI as our branch locations increased from five locations as of September 30, 2010 to eight locations as of September 30, 2011 as well as increases in additional credit related costs, specifically legal and loan expenses.

The income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $1.7 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is partially the result of benefits derived from tax-free municipal bonds and tax-free income earned on the bank-owned life insurance policies. In addition, as a result of the merger with ABI, there is a significant limitation on the amount of net operating losses and net unrealized built-in losses that can be utilized by the Company. As a result, the Company had a valuation allowance of $9.2 million at September 30, 2011 and $10.5 million at December 31, 2010. This was substantially due to the deferred tax assets related to the merger with ABI as they are not “more likely than not” to be realized due to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. During the nine-month period ending September 30, 2011, a portion of the valuation allowance attributable to the deferred tax assets related to the merger with ABI has been reduced. This reduction is attributable to the portion of the deferred tax assets that the Company deemed “more likely than not” to be realized.

Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding company, is the parent of The Jacksonville Bank, a Florida state-chartered bank focusing on the Northeast Florida market with approximately $608 million in assets and eight full-service branches in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida, as well as our virtual branch. The Jacksonville Bank opened for business on May 28, 1999 and provides a variety of community banking services to businesses and individuals in Jacksonville, Florida. More information is available at its website at www.jaxbank.com.
