Crescent Financial Corp. (CRFN, Financial) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2009-03-31.
Crescent Financial Corporation is a bank holding company. They conduct almost all of their business through Crescent State Bank which is in the commercial banking business. Crescent Financial Corp. has a market cap of $38.5 million; its shares were traded at around $4 with a P/E ratio of 25 and P/S ratio of 0.6.

During the first quarter of 2009, gross loans outstanding increased by $2.3 million or 0.29%. In conjunction with a core data processing conversion occurring in early March, we have reclassified certain loans within our portfolio so that reporting is more consistent with the collateral of a particular loan rather than the purpose. For instance, loans secured by homes purchased as investment property were previously reported as commercial real estate whereas they are now reported as residential real estate mortgages. Loans secured by commercial building lots were previously reported as commercial real estate and are now reported as construction and land development. As a result, the comparison of the loan compositions at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 can be misleading. Reclassifications of loan types through the conversion process resulted in $164.6 million of commercial real estate loans and $2.1 million consumer loans being shifted to $81.8 million of construction and land development, $70.7 million residential mortgages, $9.3 million home equity loans and $4.9 million commercial and industrial. When considering these reclassifications, the net growth in the portfolio for the quarter by category was as follows: increases in commercial real estate, residential mortgage, home equity lines and loans and consumer loans of $8.4 million, $3.6 million, $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, and a decrease in construction and land development of $12.4 million. The composition of the loan portfolio, by category, as of March 31, 2009 is 40% commercial mortgage loans, 29% construction loans, 12% residential mortgage loans. 10% commercial loans, 8% home equity loans and lines, and 1% consumer loans. The composition of the loan portfolio, by category, as of December 31, 2008 and before conversion was 60% commercial mortgage loans, 20% construction loans, 10% commercial loans, 7% home equity loans and lines, 2% residential real estate mortgage loans and 1% consumer loans.
The Company had an allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2009 of $13.9 million or 1.76% of outstanding loans compared to $12.6 million or 1.60% at December 31, 2008. At March 31, 2009, there were fifty-five loans totaling $16.4 million in non-accrual status. Thirty-one loans totaling $5.4 million represent one borrowing relationship. Of the $16.4 million in non-accrual loans, $5.8 million are one-to-four family residential. There were two loans past due 90 days or more totaling $4,000 that were still accruing interest at March 31, 2009. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans at March 31, 2009 were 2.08%. At December 31, 2008, there were fifty loans totaling approximately $13.1 million in non-accrual status. Thirty-five of those loans totaling approximately $5.7 million represent one borrowing relationship. Of the remaining $7.4 million, an additional $4.5 million of loans were to land developers or residential builders. The remaining $2.9 million of non-accrual loans were spread between commercial loans and residential investment properties. The percentage of non-performing loans to total loans at December 31, 2008 was 1.67%. For a more detailed discussion, see the section entitled Non-Performing Assets.

Interest-bearing demand deposit balances increased by $11.3 million or 26% to $53.9 million, non-interest bearing demand deposits increased by $1.0 million or 1% to $65.0 million and savings deposits increased by $559,000 or 1% to $59.4 million. During January, we lost one account with a $14.0 million balance which contributed to a quarterly decline in money market of $7.6 million from $87.9 million to $80.3 million.
