WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- First Bank of Delaware (OTC Bulletin Board: FBOD) has reported fourth quarter 2009 net income of $314,000 or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to $492,000 or $0.04 per diluted share for the comparable prior year period. Net income per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $1,498,000 or $0.13 per share based on average shares outstanding of 11,419,000, compared to $5,055,000 or $0.44 per share for the prior year based on average shares outstanding of 11,414,000. The reduction in net income reflected lower consumer loan and credit card volumes and reduced utilization of third party marketers. Return on average assets for the year ended December 31, 2009 equaled 1.23% and the return on average equity was 3.68%. Total shareholders' equity stood at $41,447,000 with a leverage capital ratio of 31.9% and a book value per share of $3.63 at December 31, 2009. The Bank remains well capitalized.

The Bank continues to grow its own suite of products. "We have signed agreements with several marketers to offer both our Simply Debit and Simply Credit consumer products," said Alonzo J. Primus CEO. In addition, we continue to expand our commercial lending group and look to increase our commercial loan portfolio in the Delaware market during 2010.

The Bank previously reported its results of operations and financial condition for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2009, on January 26, 2010. This revised release corrects certain information on the schedule, "Credit Quality Ratios," specifically, the amount of non-accrual loans and loans accruing, but past due 90 days or more, at December 31, 2009. Conforming changes to total non-performing loans, total non-performing assets, and the related credit quality ratios have also been made to the schedule.
