Until September 2012, the bank was tracking ahead of its annualbudget, which calls for the company to have net income attributableto University Bancorp, Inc. common stock shareholders of 3,668,875after-tax (0.788 per share) and for University Bank to earn5,709,744 pre-tax for the entire 2012 year. Unusual expensestotaling 1,289,254 in September included:
--642,900 market valuation reserve on mortgage servicing rights, as a
result of the Fed's initialization of QE3, which manipulated mortgage
interest rates down to record low levels;
--420,549 special addition to the economic risk assumption in the
Allowance for Loan Losses (a change in our methodology to a more
conservative posture) to discount the increasing possibility of a
national recession in 2013;
--225,805 was added to the Allowance for Loan Losses to write-off an
unsecured commercial loan when the sale of the business (a convenience
store in Ann Arbor) fell through at the last minute. We do anticipate
full recovery of this loan from the sale of the business later this
year.
In every six month period following a write-down of mortgage servicingrights, the bank earns more income from increased mortgageoriginations as a result and we expect the same pattern in the fourthquarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2013. We currently expect 2013earnings to be similar to the 2012 budgeted amounts and for theresults in the fourth quarter of 2012 to be ahead of the budget. Ourinterest rate stress test models indicate that pre-tax income for thenext 12 months will range between 5.7 million and 2.5 million iflong and short term interest rates shift between -100 b.p. to 500b.p., with pre-tax income of 5.1 million in the 500 scenario. Thelow end of the profit range assumes scenarios where our residentialmortgage origination units are unprofitable.
For the first ten months of 2012, University Bank had pre-tax incomeof 3,577,782, and net income of 2,482,259, including 641,406 ofpre-tax income and 568,800 of net income in October 2012. TheOctober 2012 result was 164,202 ahead of the budgeted net income forthe month, although 918,691 below the budgeted income for the firstten months of 2012 due to factors noted above. Both October 2012 andfuture results will be assisted by reduced minority interest expense,as we completed the purchase of an additional 12.4975% of UniversityLending Group, LLC at a price of 500,000, bringing our ownershipstake to 100% from 87.5025%. Overall, we currently expect to meet orfall up to 500,000 short of the budgeted net income for the 2012year.
Federal income tax expense of 107,000 was accrued in the thirdquarter of 2012 and also year-to-date, since the Company was in ataxable position for the 2012 tax year, although the Company doeshave tax carry forward assets which can absorb taxable income ofapproximately 3.35 million in 2012 and subsequent years beforefederal income tax is actually payable, as a result of an investmentin a low income housing tax credit partnership in prior years.

Our goal is to keep Tier 1 Capitalabove 10% of average assets, and not more than 14%, so we haveachieved the bottom-end of our goal.

Michigan and the Ann Arbor MSA continue to increase employment and as aresult, the performance of our portfolio loans and our overall assetquality continues to improve and we are experiencing low loandelinquencies. As of 9/30/2012 we had just 1 commercial loan for202,277 delinquent over 30 days, 1 consumer loan for 2,876delinquent over 30 days and 1 residential mortgage loan for 61,113delinquent over 30 days and still accruing and 1 residential mortgageloan for 319,407 on non-accrual that was transferred to ORE afterquarter-end. At quarter-end we had 4 ORE properties carried at570,007 left to sell, and three of these totaling 370,607 are undercontract to sell prior to year-end. With the earnings as strong asthey are, we are aggressively moving to write-down, discount and sellsubstandard assets. In addition, we charged 1,372,772 againstearnings for the Allowance for Loan Losses during the first ninemonths of 2012, leaving us with a balance of 1,161.2k at quarter-endversus portfolio loans of 58,848.2k, or 1.97%. Including thedelinquent loans mentioned above, total non-performing loansdelinquent over 90 days, loans on non-accrual and ORE totaled 1.09million at 9/30/2012, down from 1.61 million at 6/30/2012. The ratioof substandard and non-performing assets to Tier 1 Capital was 17.1%at 10/31/2012 and is projected to be 9.0% at 12/31/2012 with pendingsales and loan payoffs.
In the first nine months of 2012, our retail mortgage originationgroup, University Lending Group, LLC, originated a new record294,730,154 in residential mortgage loans, of which 72% financedpurchase transactions, which is excellent. It is our goal to build asustainable mortgage origination business not dependent uponrefinancing.
During the past several months the bulk of the daily retailoriginations from our credit union customers have been migrated tothe unified back office platform across which all of our otherresidential originations flow. The remaining credit unions will bemigrated before year-end. This is expected to enable an increase inthe origination business won from our current 308 credit unionsubservicing customers, since our unified origination platform issignificantly more competitive than the platform it is replacing.
Liquidity remains excellent and we manage an additional 70 millionof deposits in an off-balance sheet sweep arrangement through aseries of deposit accounts at the Federal Home Loan Bank ofIndianapolis, which are available to us to meet any withdraws in justa few minutes.
