The Corporation provided $500,000 to the allowance for loan losses during the third quarter. Net charge-offs for the third quarter were $739,000. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2005 was $12.0 million, or 1.33% of loans, net of unearned income, compared to $12.5 million, or 1.34% of loans, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2004. Non-performing assets ("NPAs") declined to 0.91% of total loans plus NPAs as of September 30, 2005 compared to 1.32% of total loans plus NPAs as of December 31, 2004.
At September 30, 2005, The Banc Corporation had total assets of $1.38 billion compared to $1.42 billion at December 31, 2004. Loans, net of unearned income, decreased $32 million, or 3.37%, to $903 million at September 30, 2005 from $935 million at December 31, 2004. Investment securities decreased $31 million, or 10.8%, to $257 million at September 30, 2005 from $288 million at December 31, 2004. Deposits decreased 1.4%, to $1.05 billion at September 30, 2005 from $1.07 billion at December 31, 2004. These declines reflect the Corporation's strategy of deleveraging the balance sheet and focusing on deposit and loan mix realignment, which management expects will improve net interest margin. Stockholders' equity increased $2.7 million, or 2.7%, to $103.3 million at September 30, 2005 from $100.5 million at December 31, 2004.
