Its return on average assets was 0.86% at the end of March, compared with -6.74% at the end of December and -5.55% at the end of last September.

First Delta FCU was chartered in 1981 and had approximately 3,000 members. The credit union was knocked off course by a combination of the poor economy and damage caused by an employee's long term embezzlement of credit union funds.

Shreveport FCU, headquartered in Shreveport, La., has $81.9 million in assets and has more than 18,000 members.
