GADSDEN, Ala., May 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Southern Banc Company, Inc. (OTCBB: SRNN), the holding company for The Southern Bank Company announced net income of approximately $138,000, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as compared to net income of approximately $73,000, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

The increase in the net interest margin before provision for loan losses for the quarter was primarily attributable to a decrease in total interest expense of approximately $115,000, offset by a decrease in total interest income of approximately $45,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 the Company recorded no provision for loan and lease losses.

The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in miscellaneous income of approximately $16,000 offset in part by a decrease in customer services fees of approximately $6,000. The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily attributable to decreases in data processing expenses of approximately $24,000, occupancy expenses of approximately $2,000 and salaries and benefits of approximately $14,000 offset in part by an increase in professional service expenses of approximately $9,000. For the nine-months ended March 31, 2021, net interest income decreased approximately $132,000 or (3.9%).

The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to activity in the lease portfolio, offset in part by a decrease in customer service fees of approximately $17,000. The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily attributable to decreases in professional service expense of approximately $26,000, salaries and benefits of approximately $133,000 offset in part by an increase in data processing expenses of approximately $15,000.
