Sound Financial, Inc. Memorandum of Understanding is terminated following quarter-end

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 3, 2011--Sound Financial Inc. (OTCBB: SNFL), holding company for Sound Community Bank, today reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $950,000, or $0.33 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $335,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. For the quarter ended June 30, 2011 net income was $454,000 or $0.16 per diluted share, as compared to $496,000 and $0.17 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and $278,000 or $0.10 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Return on Average Assets was 0.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 0.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

This is the sixth consecutive quarter of positive earnings for the company.

Highlights as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 include:

- Year to date Net Interest Margin improved 61 basis points to 5.26% from 4.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2010

- Efficiency Ratio decreased to 63.95% compared to 71.03% for the six months ended June 30, 2010

- Non-Performing Assets to Total Assets is 2.65% as of June 30, 2011 compared to 3.54% as of June 30, 2010.

Effective July 15, 2011, the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Board of Directors of Sound Financial, Inc. and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) was terminated. Effective July 11, 2011 the Memorandum of Understanding between the Board of Directors of Sound Community Bank and the OTS was amended to terminate Paragraph 10 of the Memorandum headed Capital Distributions. This paragraph pertains to the bank’s ability to declare or pay dividends or to make any capital distributions. The terminated paragraph required the bank to submit in writing for written approval from the Regional Director of the OTS at least 30 days prior to the anticipated date of the proposed declaration, dividend payment or distribution of capital. The Board of Directors has not declared dividends since the First Quarter of 2010.

Laurie Stewart, President and CEO said, “We are pleased that our efforts to improve both earnings and our capital ratios have led to the termination of the MOU at the holding company level and the dividend restriction at the bank level. Our emphasis on improving our efficiency ratio and reducing non-performing assets positions Sound Community Bank well.”
