View Additional ProfilesSOUTHAMPTON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Quaint Oak Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCBB:QNTO) the holding company for Quaint Oak Bank, announced today that net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $137,000, or $0.12 per basic share, compared to $97,000, or $0.08 per basic share for the same period in 2008.

Robert T. Strong, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We have posted an impressive 41% gain in net income over the same period a year ago. It is important to note, however, that supporting this increase has been our ability to seek out and attract good loans. Since March 31, 2008, we have increased net loan balances by $9.2 million, or 14.6% in an otherwise contracting market, while our non-performing loans have been reduced from 4.07% as a percent of net total loans receivable, to 0.80% during this same period. Although net income is the main measurement of a business, I believe that even more important in this economic downturn is the growth and performance in the Bank's loan portfolio."

Mr. Strong continued, "We have previously referenced the "Keep to Basics" approach and we believe that has so far guided the Bank through these current difficult economic times. Moving forward, we anticipate that new opportunities which complement our business strategy will continue to support the bottom line and provide strength in diversity of income. As always, our focus on long-term profitability, payment of dividends, along with an active stock repurchase program, continue to reflect the Company's strong commitment to shareholder value."

Net income amounted to $137,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $40,000, or 41.2% compared to net income of $97,000 for the same period in 2008. The increase in net income on a quarter over quarter basis was primarily the result of an increase of $162,000 in net interest income and a $9,000 increase in non-interest income, which were offset by a $25,000 increase in the provision for loan losses, a $79,000 increase in non-interest expense, and a $27,000 increase in income tax expense. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily attributable to a $65,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $25,000 increase in professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.

The $162,000, or 28.5% increase in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 over the comparable period in 2008 was driven by an increase in interest income of $176,000, or 14.9%, offset by an increase of $14,000, or 2.3% in interest expense. The increase in interest income resulted primarily from a $13.7 million increase in average interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by a 21 basis point decrease in the overall yield on interest-earning assets to 6.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from 6.45% for same period in 2008. The increase in interest expense resulted primarily from a $15.1 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, which was partially offset by an 84 basis point decrease in the overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 3.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from 4.34% for the comparable period in 2008. The average interest spread and net interest margin increased for the three months ended March 31, 2009, to 2.74% and 3.36%, respectively, from 2.11% and 3.10%, respectively, for the same period in 2008.

The Company's total assets at March 31, 2009 were $91.2 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 3.2%, from $88.4 million at December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to growth in loans receivable, net of the allowance for loan losses, of $3.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 million. Offsetting these increases was a decline in investment securities of $1.5 million and a decline in mortgage-backed securities of $423,000. Asset growth for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was primarily funded by a $5.7 million increase in deposits. Deposit growth was also used to pay-down FHLB advances of $2.8 million.

Total interest-bearing deposits increased $5.7 million, or 9.7%, to $64.7 million at March 31, 2009 from $59.0 million at March 31, 2008. This increase was attributable to increases of $4.9 million in certificates of deposit, $596,000 in e-savings accounts, $208,000 in statement savings accounts, and $34,000 in passbook accounts.

Total stockholders' equity increased $3,000 to $17.3 million at March 31, 2009. This small increase from December 31, 2008 was the result of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $137,000, and a decrease in unallocated shares held by the ESOP of $17,000 and $27,000 of compensation expense related to stock compensation plans, offset by the purchase of 18,932 shares of the Company's common stock in the open-market as part of the Company's stock repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $145,000, and dividends paid of $33,000.

Non-performing loans amounted to $580,000, or 0.8% of net loans receivable at March 31, 2009, consisting of five loans, two of which are 90 days or more past due and accruing interest and three of which are on non-accrual status compared to $439,000 at December 31, 2008. The non-performing loans at March 31, 2009 include two one-to-four family owner occupied residential loans, two commercial real estate loans and one home equity loan and all are generally well-collateralized or adequately reserved for. Management does not anticipate any significant losses on these loans. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, two loans were placed on non-accrual status resulting in the reversal of $11,000 of previously accrued interest income, and one loan for $208,000 was transferred to other real estate owned. Not included in non-performing loans are performing troubled debt restructurings which totaled $1.4 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $921,000 at December 31, 2008. Non-performing assets amounted to $1.5 million, or 1.67% of total assets at March 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans receivable was 1.01% at March 31, 2009 and 0.98% at December 31, 2008. Other real estate owned was $940,000 at March 31, 2009 compared to $732,000 at December 31, 2008.
