Total loans outstanding of $206.7 million decreased $3.4 million as a result of normal runoff since December 31, 2009.  Net income from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, both ahead of the same periods in 2009.  Net income available to common stockholders for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2010, were $0.1 mi llion and $0.2 million.

“We are extremely pleased with the loyalty our depositors continue to show to Mechanics and Farmers Bank, as reflected by the increase in our deposits,” stated Ms. Kim D. Saunders, President and CEO.  “Our continued profitability in a time when many banks, both nationwide and in North Carolina, are posting losses, reflects our careful cost containment efforts, as well as our strong net interest margin.  Those borrowers who have experienced financial challenges from the severe and prolonged economic downturn have been receiving additional attention from our dedicated Special Assets Team as all work through these difficult times. We are continuing to lend to qualified borrowers throughout our markets in the Piedmont-Triad, Charlotte, Durham, and Raleigh.”
