KS Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCBB: KSBI), parent company of KS Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”), today announced unaudited fourth quarter and year to date financial results for the 2009 fiscal year.

The Company reported a net loss of ($378,000), or ($0.29) per diluted share, before adjusting for the effect of preferred stock dividends and accretion of discount on preferred stock for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of ($414,000), or ($0.31) per diluted share, for the same period in 2008. After adjusting for $35,000 in dividends and accretion of discount on preferred stock, the net loss available to common stockholders for the current period was ($413,000), or ($0.32) per diluted share. For the three months ended December 31, 2009 net interest income improved to $2.6 million, compared to $2.2 million for the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in cost of funds. Comparing the fourth quarter of 2009 to 2008, there was a slight increase of $10,000 in noninterest income. Noninterest expenses increased $489,000 from $2.3 million at December 31, 2008 to $2.8 million at December 31, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to the cost of foreclosures, as well as the cost to maintain the properties.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported a net loss of ($210,000), or ($0.16) per diluted share, before adjusting for the effect of dividends and accretion of discount on preferred stock, compared to net income of $663,000, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the year ended December 30, 2008. After adjusting for $62,000 in dividends and accretion on preferred stock, the net loss available to common stockholders was ($272,000), or ($.21) per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 30, 2009.

The Company’s consolidated total assets increased $24.0 million to $348.8 million as of December 31, 2009, as compared to $324.8 million at December 31, 2008. Net loan balances have decreased $17.2 million from $244.3 million at December 31, 2008 compared to $227.1 million at December 31, 2009. In 2009, management focused on the reduction of the Bank’s concentration in residential speculative construction lending, which is the primary result of the decrease in loan balances. Total deposits were $259.0 million at December 31, 2009, compared to $242.4 at December 31, 2008, which reflects a $16.8 million increase. During the year, demand deposits grew 7.04% from $64.0 million at December 31, 2008 to $68.6 million at December 31, 2009. The investment portfolio increased $32.5 million, from $54.6 million at December 31, 2008, to $87.1 million at December 31, 2009. The increase in the investment portfolio is primarily the result of implementing a leverage strategy designed to offset the impact of the preferred stock dividends paid on the investment pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program. Total stockholders’ equity increased 26.06%, from $17.7 million at December 31, 2008, to $22.4 million at December 31, 2009.

Nonperforming assets, which includes nonaccrual loans and foreclosed assets, totaled $15.3 million at December 31, 2009, versus $8.5 million at December 31, 2008. The nonperforming assets consist of $9.4 million in foreclosure assets and $5.9 million in nonaccrual loans. As a result of the increase of the nonperforming assets, year to date the Company recorded $2.2 million in provision for loan losses. Net charge offs for the year were $2.0 million. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2009 totaled $3.9 million, or 1.70% of loans. Nonperforming loans and charge-offs are primarily related to our residential speculative construction and lot development portfolio, which has been negatively affected by the slowing housing market. Although the nonperforming assets have increased since December 31, 2008, they peaked during the third quarter of 2009 and have continued to decrease during the last quarter of 2009. During 2009 the Bank has successfully sold $2.9 million of its foreclosed asset inventory. The Company believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover any additional losses.

Commenting on the fourth quarter 2009 results, Harold Keen, President and CEO, stated, “KS Bank, like all banks, began 2009 with many challenges. In the beginning of the year, the Bank had a high concentration in speculative residential construction. Our team worked relentlessly this year to effectively reduce this concentration. Although, we did experience a net operating loss for the year, we began to experience some stability in the market and positive trends in the final quarter of the year. KS Bank continues to be well-capitalized according to regulatory guidelines.”

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors voted not to declare a common stock dividend for the fourth quarter of 2009. The continued suspension of our quarterly dividend is a prudent step in preserving capital during this continuing economic downturn. The Board of Directors will continue to monitor business conditions, the Company’s profitability and capital levels, as well as asset quality in considering whether to resume cash dividend payments. The Bank continues to be well-capitalized according to regulatory guidelines, and we continue to be focused on serving the communities in which we are located.
