Net direct finance, loan and interest income was $5.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, a $650,000, or 10.8%, decrease compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Total direct finance, loan and interest income for the second quarter ended December 31, 2009 decreased 13.4% to $6.6 million from $7.7 million earned during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a $885,000 or 16% decrease in direct finance income that resulted from an 8% decline in the average net investment in leases, and a $205,000, or 18%, decrease in loan income resulting from a 307 basis point drop in yields earned on an average commercial loan portfolio that was up 29% to $71.5 million. Interest income from investments was relatively unchanged as a 222 basis point drop in the average yield to 2.73% was offset by a 93% increase in average investment balances to $160.7 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings decreased by $375,000 or 29% reflecting a 31% increase in average balances to $240.3 million that was offset by a 148 basis point drop in average interest rates paid to 2.14%.

Total direct finance, loan and interest income for the first six months of fiscal 2010 decreased 1.3% to $14.2 million, but included a $1.1 million increase in investment income offset by a $1.4 million decline in direct finance income. The increased investment income reflected a $90 million increase in the average investment in cash and securities to $171.7 million, which was offset somewhat by a 76 basis point drop in the average yields earned to 3.11%. The decline in direct finance income was due to a 6% decline in average balances to $202.1 million and a 66 basis point drop in average rates earned to 9.41%. Commercial loan income for the first six months of fiscal 2010 was up $76,000, or 4%, as a 42% increase in average balances to $72.2 million offset a 203 basis point drop in the average yield to 5.45%. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, interest expense on deposits and borrowings decreased by $431,000 or 15% to $2.8 million, reflecting a 156 basis point decrease in interest rates paid on average balances that increased by 48% from the year before to $255.4 million.

Highlight of Business Operations:
Net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 were up 22%, while results for the six months ended December 31, 2009 were up 51%.

A 17% and 19% reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses for the respective periods also contributed to the improvement in earnings and helped offset a reduction in direct finance income.New lease bookings during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 were 32% ahead of the prior year level, but due to lower volume during the first quarter, total six month bookings of $73.8 million were 11% lower than the prior year.
