Earnings of $821,000 improved $340,000 compared with the second quarter of 2008



 * Net earnings included a FDIC special assessment of $684,000, or
   $0.04 per diluted share
 * Revenue increased 1.7% to $17.8 million, including a 6.8% increase
   in net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis (TE) to
   $11.6 million
 * Noninterest expense, excluding the FDIC special assessment,
   remained essentially unchanged

 Maintained credit quality

 * Nonperforming assets decreased 9.1% compared with March 31, 2009
 * Allowance for loan losses was $25.2 million, or 2.19% of total loans

 Maintained strong capital position

 * Tier 1 capital of $174.7 million, or 15.02% tier 1 risk-based
   capital ratio
 * $125.5 million of tangible common equity, or $12.14 per share
 * Tangible common equity ratio was 7.93%

"We are encouraged that, despite high unemployment and a continued weak economy, earnings improved and nonperforming assets declined slightly for the quarter," said James S. D'Agostino, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our strong capital position, allowance, and pre-provision, pre-tax earnings position us well in the face of continued economic uncertainty. We continue to see increased momentum in growth of low-cost deposits and attracting assets under management. The recently announced leadership additions to Encore Bank of Preston Moore as President and CEO, and Carmen Jordan, EVP and Chief Lending Officer, significantly enhance our ability to develop additional business banking."

Earnings

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, net earnings were $821,000, compared with $481,000 for the same period of 2008. Earnings per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2009 were $0.02, compared with $0.04 for the comparable period of 2008. The decrease in diluted earnings per share was due to the dividends on preferred stock issued in the fourth quarter of 2008. Results for the second quarter of 2009 include an improvement in net interest income (TE) of $736,000, or 6.8%, and a decrease in provision for loan losses of $850,000. Partly offsetting these improvements was a $639,000 increase in noninterest expense, which was due primarily to a special insurance assessment from the FDIC.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net earnings were $2.0 million, compared with $1.7 million for the same period of 2008. Earnings per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $0.08 compared with $0.15 for the same period of 2008. Net interest income (TE) increased by $2.4 million, or 11.6%, as the net interest margin expanded 8 basis points, but was partly offset by higher credit costs and lower trust and investment management fees.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income (TE) for the second quarter of 2009 was $11.6 million, an increase of $736,000, or 6.8%, compared with the second quarter of 2008. The net interest margin (TE), however, decreased 4 basis points to 3.09%. The margin compression was due in part to greater liquidity on the balance sheet and a shift in the deposit mix as clients moved to certificates of deposit in pursuit of higher yields. On a linked quarter basis (compared with immediately preceding quarter), net interest income (TE) remained essentially unchanged, and the net interest margin (TE) contracted 4 basis points.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2009, a decrease of $308,000, or 4.6%, compared with the same period of 2008. The decrease was due primarily to trust and investment management fees, which decreased $573,000, or 12.3%, as assets under management fell 16.0% due to the sharp drop in equity markets from the prior year. This decrease was partly offset by a $222,000 gain on sale of second mortgage loans.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $13.7 million for the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $639,000, or 4.9%, compared with the same period of 2008. The increase was due primarily to a special FDIC assessment of $684,000, which was levied on all banks to replenish the FDIC insurance fund. In addition, professional fees increased, which were primarily related to higher legal and audit fees at the bank.

Segment Earnings

On a segment basis, our banking operation showed net earnings of $47,000 for the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $879,000 compared with the same period of 2008. Net interest income increased $610,000, or 5.5%, driven by higher earning assets. The provision for loan losses decreased $850,000, or 22.5%, due to a slight decline in nonperforming assets. Noninterest income increased $219,000 compared with the second quarter of 2008, due to higher mortgage banking income. Noninterest expense increased $316,000, or 3.4%, which was due primarily to the FDIC special assessment. Wealth management had net earnings of $701,000 for the second quarter of 2009, a decrease of $562,000, or 44.5%, compared with the same period of 2008. Revenue for this segment decreased due primarily to lower assets under management, which declined 16.0%. Expenses increased $315,000, or 11.6%, due primarily to a reversal of an accrual for a legal settlement in 2008. Our insurance agency had net earnings of $276,000 for the second quarter of 2009, essentially unchanged from the same period of 2008.

Loans

Period end loans were $1.1 billion at June 30, 2009, a decrease of $20.3 million, or 1.7%, compared with June 30, 2008. In April and June, we sold second mortgage loans totaling approximately $9.7 million.

Deposits

Period end deposits were $1.2 billion at June 30, 2009, an increase of $121.8 million, or 11.5%, compared with June 30, 2008. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $146.4 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $22.8 million, or 18.4%, compared with June 30, 2008. Average deposits were $1.1 billion for the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $52.8 million, or 4.8%, compared with the same period of 2008.

Credit Quality and Capital Ratios

The provision for loan losses was $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2009. The decrease in provision, compared with the second quarter of 2008, resulted primarily from a slight decline in nonperforming assets for the quarter. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2009 were $4.4 million, or 1.51% of average total loans on an annualized basis, compared with $3.3 million, or 1.14% of average total loans on an annualized basis for the second quarter of 2008. Most of the commercial loan charge-offs resulted from loans on which we had previously recorded specific reserves. The increase in consumer loan charge-offs was primarily related to first mortgage residential loans in Florida.

At June 30, 2009, nonperforming assets were $36.6 million, or 3.16% of total loans and investment in real estate, compared with $40.2 million, or 3.40% of total loans and investment in real estate at March 31, 2009 and $14.4 million, or 1.23% of total loans and investment in real estate at June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2009, nonaccrual loans were $28.6 million, compared with $34.7 million at March 31, 2009, a decrease of $6.1 million, or 17.7%. The decrease was due primarily to a commercial loan to a trial lawyer for approximately $2.3 million that was resolved, and the repossession of properties securing a $2.4 million residential construction loan to a builder. Investment in real estate was $8.0 million at June 30, 2009, compared with $5.5 million at March 31, 2009.

As of June 30, 2009, our estimated Tier 1 risk-based, total risk-based, and leverage capital ratios were 15.02%, 16.28% and 11.22%, respectively, and Encore Bank was considered "well capitalized" pursuant to regulatory capital definitions.

 * Tangible common equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, includes total
   equity, less preferred equity, goodwill and other intangible assets.
   Management reviews tangible common equity along with other measures
   of capital as part of its financial analyses and has included this
   information because of current interest on the part of market
   participants in tangible common equity as a measure of capital. The
   methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among
   companies.

 * Net interest income, net interest spread and net interest margin are
   reported on a taxable-equivalent basis. The taxable-equivalent
   adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings
   when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets. Management believes
   that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net
   interest income, net interest spread and net interest margin on a
   fully taxable-equivalent basis. Management believes these measures
   provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer
   comparisons.
