CORNELIA, Ga., Aug 10, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- HABC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Habersham Bancorp (Nasdaq: HABC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) reports a second quarter loss of $1.6 million or $.57 per diluted share when compared to a second quarter loss of $375,000 or $.13 per diluted share for the same period in 2008. The decrease resulted principally from a decrease in net interest income of approximately $1.1 million and additional expense from provisions for loan losses of approximately $646,000.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company reports a loss of $3.3 million or $1.15 per diluted share when compared to a loss of $316,000 or $.11 per diluted share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008. The decrease resulted principally from a decrease in net interest income of approximately $2.2 million and additional expense from provisions for loan losses of approximately $2.0 million.

The decreases in net interest income resulted from: 1) an increase in the total dollar balances of loans on nonaccrual status and, 2) a decrease in average loan balances. Non-performing assets increased approximately $2.6 million from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 primarily as a result of activity within nonaccrual loans and other real estate.

The Company's net interest margin for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 was 2.11% and 2.25%, respectively, compared to 3.09% and 3.21% for the second quarter and first six months of 2008.

Total assets of $518.2 million at June 30, 2009 reflect an increase of $23.3 million or 4.72% from $494.9 million at December 31, 2008. Increases in cash and cash equivalent balances (primarily federal funds sold), other real estate and in all other assets totaling approximately $27.2 million, $7.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, were offset by decreases in the total net loan portfolios and in the investment securities portfolios totaling approximately $9.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively.
