Highlight of Business Operations: Net Income/ (Loss). The Company recorded net income from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 of $0.2 million and $6.0 million respectively, compared to a net loss of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and net income of $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Net income attributable to the Company, which includes income from both continuing and discontinued operations, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $1.1 million and $6.2 million respectively, compared to net losses of $8.5 million and $5.6 million for the same periods in 2009.
The Company recognized losses per share from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 of $0.09 per share and $0.07 per share, respectively, compared to losses of $0.13 per share and $0.21 per share for the same periods in 2009. Losses per share attributable to the common shareholders, which includes both continuing and discontinued operations, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were $0.07 per share and $0.05 per share, respectively, compared to losses of $0.24 per share and $0.33 per share for the same periods in 2009. Net income/ (loss) from continuing operations in both 2010 and 2009 was offset by charges that reduce income available to common shareholders.
Charges that reduce income available to common shareholders include preferred dividends and charges that are accounted for as preferred dividends such as the accretion of discounts and beneficial conversion features on preferred stock and the amounts related to the change in redemption value of noncontrolling interests. These charges decreased $1.9 million to $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $8.1 million for the same period in 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, these charges decreased $6.9 million to $9.6 million from $16.5 million for the same period in 2009. The decreases for both the three and six month periods was primarily due to the accretion of the beneficial conversion feature of the Series B Preferred stock, which was fully accreted as of December 31, 2009, and the acquisition of the remaining 19% interest in KLS, which affected the change in redemption value of noncontrolling interests. These decreases were partially offset by the accelerated accretion of the discount on the Series C Preferred stock in conjunction with its repurchase. The discount on the Series C Preferred stock was fully accreted as of June 30, 2010. See Part I. Item 1. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 2: Earnings Per Share” for further detail on these charges to income available to common shareholders.
Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $45.0 million, an increase of $5.7 million, or 15%, compared to the same period in 2009. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $89.3 million, an increase of $10.6 million, or 13%, compared to the same period in 2009. The increases for both the three and six month periods are primarily due to increased business volumes (change in average balance multiplied by the prior year average rate) which increased net interest income by $5.8 million and $10.9 million for the three and six month periods, respectively. These increases were partially offset by decreases in rates (change in average interest rate multiplied by the prior year average balance), which decreased net interest income by less than $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six month periods, respectively. The NIM was 3.29% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of 15 basis points compared to the same period in 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, NIM was 3.24%, an increase of 6 basis points compared to the same period in 2009. The increase in the Company’s NIM for the three and six month periods compared to the same period in 2009 is a result of several factors including: decreases in rates paid on deposits, and a higher percentage of interest-bearing liabilities that have been raised in the form of lower cost deposits rather than borrowed funds.

The Strategy of Ben Graham – Warren Buffett’s Mentor

From 1923 to 1957 Warren Buffett’s mentor, Ben Graham, followed a strategy of investing in net-nets. He said: “It always seemed, and still seems ridiculously simple to say that if one can acquire a diversified group of common stocks at a price less than the...net current assets alone…the results should be quite satisfactory. They were so in our experience, for more than 30 years.”
Today net-nets are rare. They are collected under GuruFocus’ Net-Net Screener. GuruFocus also publishes a monthly newsletter which recommends the safest net-nets. All of these are included in GuruFocus Premium Membership.
