   • Valuation reserves from the write-down of mortgage servicing rights of $145,152.

President & CEO Stephen Lange Ranzini noted, “2010 results were down from 2009, because our wholesale mortgage banking division, University Lending Group, had reduced mortgage originations which resulted in a profit in 2010 of just $248,823 versus profits of $3,259,642 in 2009, a decrease of $3,010,819. Increased profitability at both Midwest Loan Services and University Islamic Financial were insufficient to offset these lost profits, as Community Banking also registered a loss due to a decrease in portfolio loans which caused a decrease in net interest income. Management took steps to increase capital efficiency by decreasing the bank’s assets during 2010 by moving mortgage deposit escrow accounts off balance sheet into an innovative sweep account arrangement established at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. The decrease in assets enabled us to raise our capital ratios.

“Massive government intervention in the residential lending business continues to substantially and negatively impact our residential lending units. Also, this caused decreases in the volume of our portfolio loans held for investment at both Community Banking and University Islamic, which decreased our net interest and financing income,” Ranzini noted. “Our high growth subsidiaries generated 82.5% of our bank’s revenues in 2010.”

Ann Arbor-based University Bancorp owns 100% of University Bank which, together with its subsidiaries, holds and manages a total of over $9.25 billion in loans and assets.
