Carrollton Bancorp Inc. in Baltimore said Monday that a spike in problem loans slashed its third-quarter profit 94% from the year-earlier period, to $51,000.
Though the $401 million-asset company reported double-digit gains in assets and loans, it said its nonperforming loans more than doubled since the end of 2007, to $12.1 million.
Its net interest margin contracted 57 basis points from last year's third quarter, to 3.85%, as a result of Federal Reserve Board interest rate cuts.
