GREAT AMERICAN BANCORP, INC.
PRELIMINARY UNAUDITED RESULTS 2000 - NET INCOME $983,000
Champaign, Illinois - Great American Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq NMS/GTPS), the
holding company for First Federal Savings Bank of Champaign-Urbana, reported
earnings of $983,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of
$339,000, or 52.6%, above the $644,000 reported for the same period in 1999.
Basic earnings per share were $0.92 in 2000, compared to $0.53 in 1999, while
fully diluted earnings per share were $0.91 in 2000, compared to $0.52 in
1999.
Net interest income was $5,755,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000,
compared to $5,710,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of
$45,000. The provision for loan losses was $300,000 in 2000 compared to
$573,000 in 1999, a decrease of $273,000, or 47.6%. The higher provision in
1999 was primarily due to an increase in the monthly provision for loan
losses during 1999, mainly the result of a commercial loan totaling $1.35
million becoming non-performing in late 1998. The company charged-off
$800,000 of this loan during the fourth quarter of 1999 and $90,000 during
the third quarter of 2000.
Noninterest income totaled $1,635,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000,
$112,000, or 7.4%, higher than the $1,523,000 recorded for the year ended
December 31, 1999. This increase was mostly due to commissions generated from
GTPS Insurance Agency and brokerage commissions generated from Scout
Brokerage Services, Inc. Insurance sales commissions increased $77,000 from
$625,000 reported for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $702,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2000. Brokerage sales commissions increased $54,000
from $152,000 reported for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $206,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2000. Noninterest expense was $5,610,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2000, $56,000, or 1.0%, higher than the $5,554,000
reported for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Net income totaled $241,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2000, compared
to $133,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1999. Basic earnings per
share and fully diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2000
were $0.24, compared to $0.11 in 1999.
Total assets at December 31, 2000 were $159.7 million, an increase of $5.4
million, or 3.5%, from total assets of $154.3 million at December 31, 1999.
