Furthermore, third quarter results are expected to include a write-down of $800,000 on the value of a commercial warehouse that is currently the largest property held as Real Estate Owned. In addition, the Company also said it expects to recognize an impairment charge during the quarter of approximately $1.9 million due to further deterioration of underlying collateral on a pooled trust preferred security. This security, which had an original cost basis of $7.0 million, had been previously written down $5.1 million in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification on the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. The Company plans to announce third quarter results on October 27, 2009. "We are moving toward 2010 with the expectation that Sun's underlying operating performance will continue the positive trends we have reported over the past few quarters," said Thomas X. Geisel, president and chief executive officer. "With this in mind, during the third quarter and over the near term, we continue to manage aggressively and realistically our loan portfolio to lower risk and better position the Company for 2010."
