In Brief: Security Capital in N.C. Posts 11.8% Gain

SALISBURY, N.C. - Security Capital Bancorp earned $3.9 million in the first quarter, for an 11.8% increase.

The rise was attributed primarily to the inclusion of First Federal Savings and Loan of Charlotte, which was acquired by Security last fall. Security Capital and CCB Financial Corp. are scheduled to merge today . The deal, a 2-for-1 exchange of Security for CCB stock, was first announced last November.

Nonperforming assets were $5.3 million, or just 0.45% of total assets, the bank said. Return on assets and equity were 1.32% and 12.54%, respectively.
