The Company's annualized return on average assets and average equity were 0.71% and 4.17%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 compared to 0.69% and 3.77%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 increased $15,000 or 2.0% compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The increase was primarily the result of a decrease of $225,000 in the provision for loan losses partially offset by lower net interest income of $114,000 or 3.8% and higher noninterest expenses of $111,000 or 4.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

Net interest income declined to $2.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 from $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in net interest income resulted primarily from a lower average yield on interest-earning assets partially offset by a lower average cost of funds. Book value per share was $24.37 against $23.96 a year ago.

Tangible book value per share was $21.34 against $21.03 a year ago.
