LSB Corp., parent company of North Andover-based River Bank, has reported net income of $1.1 million for the third quarter, down from $1.3 million during the same period last year.
However, net income for the nine months ended Sept. 30 rose to $4.3 million, up from $3 million for the same period of 2009.
On July 15, the company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Connecticut-based People’s United Financial Inc. providing for People’s United to acquire the company in an all-cash transaction valued at $96 million.
"I am pleased to report earnings of 25-cents per diluted share for the third quarter of 2010. This is after transaction costs of $475,000 or 10-cents per share related to our pending acquisition by People’s United," said President and CEO Gerald T. Mulligan. "Despite the challenges in the economy, we have been able to sustain our strong operating results and achieved core deposit growth of 4.1 percent since Dec. 31, 2009."
