Total Common Stockholders' Equity increased by a net of $10.6 million, or 33% to $42.3 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017. This was primarily due to the sale of 594,806 shares of common stock in a private placement during the first and second quarters of 2017. The common shares were sold at a per share price of $16.75 producing gross proceeds of $10.0 million. A total of 198,275 warrants shares were authorized in connection with the 2017 private placement sale of common shares, the warrants which are convertible into common shares were authorized at a conversion price of $16.75 per share. The warrant holders have until March 31, 2019 to exercise and convert their warrants into common shares of the company. The net proceeds from this common stock issue will be used to fund business development and growth opportunities primarily in both the New Orleans and Hammond, LA Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA's) through our subsidiary, Florida Parishes Bank and for other general corporate purposes at the Company level.

Capital Surplus increased by $9.9 million to $22.1 million at September 30, 2017 when compared to September 30, 2016. Retained Earnings increased by $1.1 million to $20.0 million for the twelve month period. Other Comprehensive Income decreased by $521,000, or 69% from September 30, 2016 to September 30, 2017. Book value per common share increased to $ 15.93 as total common shares of 2,657,232 were outstanding at September 30, 2017 (this common share total does not include 198,275 of authorized warrants). At the subsidiary bank level, Tier 1 Capital increased to $ 31.1 million at September 30, 2017.

Earnings

Net Income in the 2017 third quarter decreased 23% to $517,000 ($0.19 per fully diluted common share) as compared to the 2016 third quarter net income of $670,000 ($0.34) per fully diluted common share). Revenue increased by $823,000, or 22% in the third quarter of 2017 when compared to the 2016 third quarter, net income for the 2017 period declined primarily due to increases of $537,000 in Provisions for Loan Losses, $272,000 in Compensation and Employee benefit expenses, $124,000 in interest expenses. Total non-interest income increased by $241,000 or 27% in the 2017 third quarter, when compared to the 2016 period primarily due to increases in revenue from SBA lending and from mortgage banking. Although the Company's net interest margin decreased in the 2017 third quarter to 4.39% from 4.70% in 2016, net interest income increased by $582,000, or 21% in the period.

Earnings per share (EPS) decreased primarily due to the Company issuing new common shares in the first six months of 2017. EPS was also affected by the decline in net income.
