MAYFLOWER BANCORP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

           (Middleboro, MA), October 22, 2013 --- Mayflower Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Market: MFLR), the holding company for Mayflower Bank, today reported a net loss of $21,000 or $0.01 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared to earnings of $375,000 or $0.18 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  Diluted results per share were $(0.01) and $0.18, respectively.

For the six months ended September 30, 2013, net income was $73,000 or $0.04 per share, compared to earnings of $764,000 or $0.37 per share for the six months ended September 30, 2012.  On a diluted per share basis, earnings for the six months were $0.04 and $0.37, respectively.

The Company previously announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share to be payable on October 18, 2013 to shareholders of record as of October 4, 2013.

On May 14, 2013, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which Independent Bank Corp. will acquire Mayflower Bancorp, Inc.; and Rockland Trust Company, the subsidiary of Independent Bank Corp., will acquire Mayflower Bank (collectively, the “Merger”). The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for Mayflower Bancorp, Inc. shareholders for federal income tax purposes. Shareholders will be able to elect to receive either $17.50 in cash or 0.565 shares of Independent Bank Corp. common stock in exchange for their shares, subject to proration and allocation so that 70% of shares are exchanged for Independent Bank Corp. stock and the remaining 30% exchanged for cash.

Net interest income was $1,763,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared to $2,008,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  The net interest margin decreased, from 3.45% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 to 3.05% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.  Average interest-earning assets decreased from $232.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 to $231.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and average interest-bearing liabilities declined from $226.6 million at September 30, 2012 to $223.4 million at September 30, 2013.

Non-interest income decreased by $305,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  This decrease was partially due to a decrease of $241,000 in gains/losses realized upon the sale of residential mortgage loans to the secondary mortgage market. Also, during the quarter, gains on sales of investments decreased by $69,000, other income decreased by $6,000, and customer service fees decreased by $7,000 due to reduced return check fees collected.  These decreases were offset by an increase of $11,000 in loan origination and other loan fees and by an increase of $7,000 in interchange income.
 
 
 
 

 
 
Total non-interest expense increased by $110,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.  This increase was primarily the result of merger related expenses totaling $295,000.  Additionally, compensation and fringe benefits increased by $22,000 due to increased benefit costs and the FDIC assessment expense increased by $4,000.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $210,000 in other expenses, due to the elimination of various ongoing operating costs as a result of the pending merger, and occupancy and equipment expense decreased by $1,000.

There was no provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $20,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  In determining the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses, the Company considers past loss experience, evaluations of underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions, the nature of the loan portfolio and levels of non-performing and other classified loans.  Management and the Company’s Board of Directors evaluate the loan loss reserve on a regular basis, and consider the allowance as constituted to be adequate at this time.

For the six months ended September 30, 2013, net interest income was $3.7 million, a decrease of $404,000 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2012.  This can be attributed to a decrease in the Company’s net interest margin, which declined from 3.49% for the six months ended September 30, 2012 to 3.13% for six months ended September 30, 2013.  Average interest earning assets for the six months ended September 30, 2013 were $235.3 million as compared to $234.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and average interest bearing liabilities were $227.8 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $228.6 million at September 30, 2012.

Non-interest income decreased by $376,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2012.  This decrease was due to a reduction of $275,000 in gains/losses on sales of residential mortgage loans to the secondary market, coupled with a decrease of $117,000 in gains realized upon the on sale of investments.  Additionally, customer service fees decreased by $25,000, due to a reduction in return check fees collected.  These decreases were offset by an increase of $31,000 in loan origination and other loan fees and $15,000 in interchange income on debit card transactions.  Finally, other income decreased by $5,000.

Total non-interest expense increased by $293,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2013.  This increase was primarily the result of merger related expenses totaling $449,000.  Additionally, compensation and fringe benefits increased by $41,000 due to increased benefit costs and the FDIC assessment expense increased by $6,000.  Other expenses decreased by $194,000 as a result of the elimination of various ongoing operating costs as a result of the pending merger and occupancy and equipment expense decreased by $9,000.

There was no provision for loan losses for the six-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to $30,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2012.  The allowance for loan loss as a percentage for net loans was 0.94% at September 30, 2013, compared to 0.87% at March 31, 2013.

Since March 31, 2013, total assets of the Company have decreased by $17.2 million, ending at $244.1 million as of September 30, 2013.  During the period, total investment securities decreased by $15.0 million while net loans receivable decreased by $9.9 million.  These decreases were offset by an increase of $8.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.

During the six months ended September 30, 2013, total deposits decreased by $16.5 million.  This decrease was comprised of a reduction of $6.5 million in certificates of deposit, coupled with a decrease of $10.0 million in checking and savings accounts.  Advances and borrowings outstanding remained constant at $1.0 million.

As of September 30, 2013, non-performing assets totaled $1.4 million, compared to $584,000 at March 31, 2013.  The increase from March 31, 2013 is the result of an increase of $672,000 in non-performing loans, coupled with an increase of $134,000 in real estate acquired by foreclosure.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 108.5% at September 30, 2013, compared to 271.5% at March 31, 2013.
 

 
 
 

 
Total stockholders’ equity stood at $21.9 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $22.6 million at March 31, 2013.  Tier 1 capital to average assets stood at 8.8% at September 30, 2013, compared to 8.6% at March 31, 2013.  The decrease in total equity is partially due to a decrease of $503,000 in the unrealized gain (net of tax) on securities available for sale and dividends declared of $0.18 per share, totaling $372,000.  Offsetting these decreases was net income for the period of $73,000, proceeds from the issuance of common stock totaling $77,000, and stock based compensation credits totaling $15,000.
