Over 60 Consecutive Quarters of Positive Earnings
STOCKTON, Calif., July 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Steven A. Rosso,
President and C.E.O. of Pacific State Bancorp (Nasdaq: PSBC), the parent
company of Pacific State Bank, today reported second quarter 2008 profits and
asset growth for the Stockton, California based financial institution:
-- Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 decreased 58.6% to
$579,000 from the second quarter of 2007.
-- Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased 38.8% to
$1,673,000 from the first half of 2007.
-- Total Assets as of June 30, 2008 increased 5.3% or 10.7% annualized to
$453,915,000 from December 31, 2007.
Mr. Rosso is excited to report that with this quarter's release, the Bank
has achieved positive quarterly earnings for over 15 years or 60 consecutive
quarters. Despite the troubled economic times for financial institutions, the
Company continues to outperform many of its peers and is dedicated to
continuing it's successful record. In addition, the Bank remains free of any
other real estate owned on its balance sheet.
Mr. Rosso noted that the decreased income performance is primarily the
result of the Bank experiencing a contraction in its net interest margin and
increased provision for loan losses. The contraction of the net interest
margin is the result of the more rapid downward repricing of the Bank's
interest earning assets, after the Federal Reserve rate cuts, than the Bank's
repricing of interest bearing liabilities. For more information on the net
interest margin, please see the Yield Analysis statements included below in
this report. The increase in the provision for loan losses is the result of a
deteriorating economic environment and the inability of specific customers to
repay loan commitments. The bank continues to monitor it's non-performing
assets very closely.
Continuing from the first quarter, the Bank has begun to experience a
repricing of liabilities. Repricing of time deposits led to a decrease in
deposit interest expense during May and June while average balances increased.
In addition to the repricing of the interest bearing deposits, interest rate
changes in the market and deposit growth have allowed the Bank to prepay
certain borrowings and will allow the bank to reduce wholesale borrowings to
$20 million in early July from $35 million at June 30, 2008 and $40 million at
December 31, 2007. Management believes a decreased level of borrowing and
repricing of interest bearing deposits will have its greatest impact in the
third quarter and early fourth quarter of 2008.
The Bank has experienced an increase in nonperforming loans from $432,000
at December 31, 2007 to $3,706,000 or 1.14% of gross loans at June 30, 2008.
The increase in nonperforming loans is the result of a decline in real estate
values in the region where the Bank operates, forcing the Bank to place
certain loans into foreclosure. Bank's management has immediately placed on
non-accrual status any loan secured by real estate, for which a notice of
default has been delivered. The increase in nonperforming loans has prompted
Management to increase the provision for loan losses over 2007 levels by $545
thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and $590 thousand for the six
months ended June 30, 2008. At present, management believes that the level of
allowance for loan losses currently recorded is sufficient to provide for both
specifically identified and probable losses.
Management has been proactive in working with problem customers to repay
loans that have become delinquent or have the potential to become delinquent.
In most cases, personal guarantees and collateral value are sufficient to
repay outstanding principal and interest. In the cases where collateral value
and personal guarantees have fallen short of the principal and interest owed
on the loans, management has reserved for the estimated potential loss.
Management has ordered real estate appraisals on all new or renewed loans and
on loans which are in foreclosure that are secured by real estate. Management
has also been proactive in ordering real estate appraisals on loans with
potential problems. Appraisals received thus far indicate generally that
overall collateral levels remain sufficient to repay the loans secured by the
real estate in case of default. Management has also reviewed all home equity
lines of credit for current loan to values, credit quality and or performance
issues. If issues are identified, the debt availability is frozen and
reductions or new terms are obtained. Management believes that overall real
estate values remain sufficient in a declining market due to the conservative
lending policies of the Bank.
In addition to a contracting net interest margin, the Bank has also
experienced a decline in non-interest income of $109,000 from 2007 second
quarter levels. The decline has been the result of decreased mortgage fees
and prepayment penalties.
