Premier Service Bank Announces Second Quarter Financial Results
Kerry L. Pendergast, President and CEO of Premier Service Bank PSBK, a California state-chartered bank headquartered in Riverside, California, released the results of its operations for the second quarter of 2007.
At June 30, 2007, the bank reported total assets of $139 million, representing a 5% increase over June 30, 2006. Deposits closed at $125.6 million, representing an increase of 4% over June 30, 2006. Gross loans grew to $97.3 million, representing a 12% increase over June 30, 2006. The bank ended the second quarter with unfunded credit commitments totaling $29.8 million. Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 2007 was $12.5 million, a 15% increase over the $10.9 million reported as of June 30, 2006.
As noted above, the bank ended the second quarter with total loans of $97.3 million. As of June 30, 2007, the bank did not have any sub-prime residential real estate loans in its portfolio. The following table shows the composition of the bank's loan portfolio at June 30, 2007 (dollar amounts in thousands):
Type Amount % of Total
Portfolio
-------------------------------- ----------------- -------------------
Commercial Loans $21,253 21.9%
Real Estate - Construction Loans 26,673 27.4%
Real Estate - Other 47,187 48.5%
Consumer Loans 2,148 2.8%
----------------- -------------------
Total $97,261 100.0%
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the bank reported net income of $108,000, representing a 78% decrease when compared to the $484,000 of net income reported for the second quarter of 2006. This variance was due in part to the bank's income becoming fully taxable in the fourth quarter of 2006. During the second quarter of 2006, the bank enjoyed a tax benefit of $75,000 from pre-opening expenses and initial period losses. Those tax benefits were fully utilized by the end of the third quarter of 2006. As a result, the tax benefit of $75,000 reported for the second quarter of 2006 was replaced by a tax expense of $60,000; a $135,000 difference between periods. This variance accounts for 35% of the decline in net income between periods.
Additionally, the bank experienced a 21% increase in its Non-Interest Expense between periods, which can be attributed to expenses associated with the opening of the bank's Small Business Administration (SBA) Department, as well as to other expenses associated with expanding the bank's infrastructure to support the bank's growing customer base. During this period the bank also experienced a 558% increase in its FDIC Insurance Assessment. This increase is attributed to the recently implemented FDIC Insurance Reform Act, which significantly impacted banks that were chartered after January 2001.
For the second quarter of 2007, net interest income totaled $1.7 million, representing a modest decline over the same period in the prior year. Interest income increased $248,000, or 12%, which was partly offset by an increase in interest expense of $265,000, or 60%. Interest expense increased due to the growth in deposits (predominantly interest-bearing), and the increase in interest rates on those deposits.
Earnings per basic share for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $0.10 compared to the earnings per basic share of $0.40 reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
"Throughout the second quarter of 2007 the bank continued to take steps to expand its infrastructure and to hire additional personnel to support and expand its business development and loan growth strategies," said Kerry Pendergast, President and CEO of the bank. "During this period the bank launched its Small Business Administration (SBA) Lending Division, with a focus on deepening its product offerings, not only to the bank's existing customer base, but to potential banking clients within the Inland Empire marketplace.
"The bank also hired two Commercial Lending / Business Development Officers who have strong ties to the Inland Empire marketplace. We believe that we will begin to see the benefit from these additions to staff as we move into the third quarter of 2007. Additionally, the bank enjoys an expanding loan pipeline, during a period in which many of our peers are reporting an overall slow down in their lending activities. As in the past, we continue to focus on developing long-term relationships with our customers, which is essential to successful community banking," Pendergast said in closing.
