Total expenses decreased by approximately $2.86 million, or 45%, in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2010, due primarily to a $2.63 million impairment charge in the prior year period and to a lesser extent, a $277,000 decrease in interest on borrowed funds.
Net income attributable to common shareholders was $3.17 million, or $.23 per share, in the current quarter compared to a net loss of $2.97 million, or $0.21 per share, in the corresponding quarter of the prior year.
