The Company's second quarter results compare to a net loss of $488 thousand for the first quarter of 2011 and a net loss of $371 thousand a year ago. Net income available to common shareholders increased to $0.03 per diluted share in the second quarter compared to net losses per common share of $0.03 and $0.02 for the first quarter 2011 and second quarter 2010, respectively.

For the first six months of 2011, Southern Community Financial reported net income available to common shareholders of $23 thousand as credit quality trends began to show marked improvement. Nonperforming loans declined by 9% from the first quarter and the Bank's delinquency rate on loans 30 to 89 days past due decreased by 65% year-over-year. The Company saw an increase in non-interest income over the first quarter of 2011 and continued to effectively manage expenses downward on a linked quarter and year-over-year basis.

"It has been a challenging two years, but the positive trends we are experiencing now are reflective of the hard work and dedication of our employees," said Chairman and CEO F. Scott Bauer. "Our core business has remained strong and our customers have remained loyal. Today, local deposits represent more than 70% of our funding, the highest in our history.

It's gratifying to know that our reputation as a provider of excellent service has not diminished. Our Board and the management team will continue to work through these challenging times and be prepared for the opportunities that lie ahead. We remain well capitalized with all ratios exceeding regulatory requirements."

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans decreased $6.9 million to $66.8 million, or 6.42% of total loans, at June 30, 2011 from $73.7 million, or 6.80% of total loans, at March 31, 2011. Included in the $6.9 million net reduction in nonperforming loans is a $7.1 million formerly nonaccrual collateral dependent loan that was restored to an accruing status. This was the result of consistent payment performance over a reasonable period of scheduled principal and interest payments. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, $18.1 million in formerly nonaccrual collateral dependent loans were restored to an accruing status. Loans delinquent 30-89 days sequentially increased by $934 thousand to $4.3 million at June 30, 2011; however, delinquencies showed significant improvement over the June 30, 2010 level of $9.7 million. Foreclosed assets remained flat with the March 31, 2011 level as $4.0 million in sales of properties and writedowns of $303 thousand offset the new foreclosed asset additions during the second quarter of 2011. Nonperforming assets decreased to $89.8 million, or 5.75% of total assets, at June 30, 2011 from $96.8 million, or 6.04% of total assets, at March 31, 2011.

The provision for loan losses of $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 decreased $400 thousand from $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) decreased $153 thousand to $27.5 million, or 2.65% of total loans, from $27.7 million, or 2.55% of total loans, at March 31, 2011. Net charge-offs decreased sequentially to $3.9 million, or 1.46% of average loans on an annualized basis, from $6.0 million, or 2.19% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the first quarter of 2011. The overall ALLL level remained relatively flat in dollar terms; however, its ratio to total loans increased sequentially to 2.65% at June 30, 2011 from 2.55% at March 31, 2011 primarily due to a $44.0 million decline in total loans, or 4%, during the second quarter of 2011. As the overall ALLL level remained relatively flat during the second quarter of 2011, the specific allowance for impaired loans decreased by $748 thousand to $2.3 million on a linked quarter basis as the volume of impaired loans requiring a specific allowance decreased to $14.8 million at June 30, 2011 from $15.5 million at March 31, 2011.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income of $12.6 million in the second quarter of 2011 decreased $261 thousand, or 2%, compared to $12.8 million in the first quarter of 2011 as the average balance of interest earning assets declined $49.9 million, or 3%, on a linked quarter basis. This decline in earning assets was driven by a $52.2 million sequential decrease in average loan balances, resulting from continued customer deleveraging, soft new loan demand and problem loan remediation. The second quarter 2011 net interest margin of 3.43% improved by one basis point on a linked quarter basis due to the above mentioned $7.1 million loan reinstated to accrual status and the impact of continued downward repricing of deposits. The impact of these positive factors was partially offset by the impact of the shift in earning asset mix caused by the decrease in loan balances.

On a year-over-year basis, net interest income decreased $862 thousand, or 6%, and the net interest margin decreased by three basis points from 3.46% in the second quarter of 2010. This decrease in net interest income was due primarily to a $85.4 million decrease in the average balance of earning assets and the three basis point reduction in net interest spread attributable to the shift in the mix of earning assets as $64.2 million of this decrease was reinvested from loans to lower yielding investments and overnight funds. The impact of the earning asset mix shift was partially offset by the favorable impact of the cost of deposits repricing downward.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income increased by $631 thousand, or 22%, to $3.5 million during the second quarter of 2011 compared with the first quarter of 2011. The sequential increase in non-interest income was attributable primarily to $786 thousand increase in the fair value of derivatives, a $132 thousand increase in investment brokerage fee income, a $93 thousand increase in service charge income and a $28 thousand increase in mortgage banking income. A $524 thousand gain on sales of investment securities was included in noninterest income for the second quarter of 2011, which was a decrease of $420 thousand from the first quarter of 2011.

Compared to the second quarter of 2010, non-interest income decreased by $858 thousand, or 20%. The comparative quarter decrease was primarily related to a $494 thousand decrease in gains on investment security sales, a $200 thousand decrease in Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) income, a $189 thousand decrease in investment brokerage fee income, a $138 thousand decrease in service charge income and a $68 thousand decrease in mortgage banking income. These comparative quarter decreases were partially offset by a $219 thousand increase in the fair value of derivatives.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses of $11.3 million during the second quarter of 2011 decreased $228 thousand, or 2%, on a linked quarter basis. The sequential reduction in non-interest expenses was attributable to a decrease in writedowns on foreclosed properties of $306 thousand, a $201 thousand decrease in FDIC insurance premiums and a $178 thousand decrease in salaries and employee benefits. Offsetting a portion of these sequential decreases were a $147 thousand increase in marketing expenses, a $128 thousand increase in professional services, a $76 thousand increase in occupancy expenses and a $63 thousand increase in other expenses related to foreclosed real estate (OREO expense).

Compared to the second quarter of 2010, non-interest expenses decreased $1.1 million or 9%. This year-over-year decrease was due primarily to a $753 thousand decrease in salaries and employee benefits, a $543 thousand decrease in foreclosed asset related expenses ($285 thousand decrease in writedowns on foreclosed properties and $258 thousand decrease in OREO expense) and a $230 thousand decrease in buyer incentive expenses. These were partially offset by year-over-year increases of $378 thousand in FDIC insurance premiums, $254 thousand in marketing expenses and $180 thousand in professional services.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2011, total assets amounted to $1.56 billion, representing a decrease of $41.9 million, or 3%, compared to March 31, 2011. Total assets decreased $98.1 million, or 6%, on a year-over-year basis. The loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale, decreased by $45.1 million, or 4%, sequentially, and decreased by $160.2 million, or 13%, since June 30, 2010 due to loan remediation activities and weak loan demand resulting from the prolonged economic downturn. Total deposits of $1.25 billion at June 30, 2011 decreased $31.3 million, or 2%, sequentially due to an $32.4 million decrease in interest bearing deposits offset by a $1.1 million increase in demand deposits.

At June 30, 2011, stockholders' equity of $94.7 million represented 6.07% of total assets. Stockholders' equity increased $2.9 million, or 3%, on a linked quarter basis due to net income of $1.1 million and an increase in unrealized gains on available for sale investment securities of $1.7 million. The regulatory capital ratios at the Bank at June 30, 2011 were in excess of the levels required under the Consent Order with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.48% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.87%.
