SANTA ANA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 5, 2019 / Infinity Bank (OTCQB: INFT) (the '' Bank'') released unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2018.

- Total deposits increased from $31.3 million at the end of the third quarter of 2018 to $42.9 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018.
- Net loan commitments increased by $16.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2018.
- Total assets increased $11.0 million 18.5% to $70.5 million, compared to $59.5 million at the end of the third quarter of 2018.
Loans
At December 31, 2018, loans outstanding totaled $13.7 million, an increase of $9 million or 191.5% from $4.7 million at the end of third quarter of 2018. Also, as of December 31, 2018, total loan commitments equaled $28.0 million.
Deposits
The Bank continued its strong deposit growth to end 2018 with $42.9 million in deposits, an increase of $11.6 million, or 36.9% compared to the third quarter ending September 30, 2018. The Bank's cost of funds continued to remain low at 29 basis points even as it added key deposit relationships.
Net-Interest Income
Net-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $366 thousand, an increase of $97 thousand or 36.1% from the third quarter of 2018. Net-interest income for the year ended, December 31, 2018 was $897 thousand. The Bank's primary source of revenue was driven by income from interest-bearing deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank as well as interest on loans and investment securities. The Bank's net interest margin, at 2.35%, continues to rise as the amount of loans increases as a percentage of the balance sheet.
Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income was $30 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2018, which was $21 thousand or 233.3% higher compared to the third quarter of 2018. Total non-interest income for 2018 was $44 thousand.
Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense was $1.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $134 thousand or 10.6 % from the third quarter of 2018. The decrease for the quarter was primarily a result of certain one-time expenses in the third quarter of 2018 that did not occur in the fourth quarter of 2018. For 2018, total non-interest expense was $3.9 million.
Net Income
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2018 totaled $852 thousand ($0.26 per share) versus a net loss of $922 thousand ($0.28 per share) for the third quarter 2018. The improvement was due to an increase in interest-bearing assets and a decrease in non-interest expense, which was partially offset with provisions for loan and lease losses, a result of the Bank's loan growth. The Bank's loss for the year 2018 was $3.1 million ($0.94 per share).
Capital
As of December 31,2018, the Bank's Tier 1 capital ratio was 124.7% and the Bank's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 48.3%. Both of these ratios are well-above regulatory guidelines for a well-capitalized bank.
