TEMECULA, Calif., July 9, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Mission Oaks National Bank (OTCBB:MKNB) reported record earnings of $404,000, or 21 cents a share, in the second quarter ended June 30.
That was up 46.4 percent from $276,000, or 18 cents a share, the Temecula-based community bank earned in the same period a year ago. Results from the second quarter of 2003 included 393,250 fewer average outstanding shares of common stock and $101,000 in tax credits resulting from a net operating loss carryforward.
Earnings before taxes in the quarter were $666,000, up 122.7 percent from $299,000 from the same period a year earlier.
Annualized return on average assets (ROA), a ratio of profit to assets, reached 1.65 percent in the second quarter. Annualized return on average shareholders' equity (ROE), a ratio of profit to equity, reached nearly 16 percent.
More than 400 similarly sized U.S. banks reported an average ROA and ROE of 1.01 percent and 9.93 percent, respectively, according to a Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. survey as of March 31, 2004.
"Our strong financial performance in the quarter can be attributed to a strong volume of SBA related and commercial real estate mortgage business," said Gary Votapka, Mission Oaks president and chief executive. "Better than expected results in the first six months of 2004 should set the stage for a strong second half of the year and allow us to build for the future."
Other key financial highlights in the 2004 quarter compared to the same 2003 quarter include:
Total assets increased $25 million, or 33.4 percent, to a record $100 million.
Net loans increased $16.4 million, or 32.1 percent, to a record $67.4 million.
Total deposits increased by $17.8 million, or 26.5 percent, to an all-time high of $84.6 million.
Interest income increased $332,000, or 32.8 percent, to $1.3 million.
Non-interest income from the sale of loans, fees and mortgage originations grew $279,000, or 61.6 percent, to $732,000.
For the six months ended June 30, Mission Oaks earned a record $690,000, or 36 cents a share, compared with earnings of $502,000, or 33 cents a share, in the same period a year ago. Results from a year ago were based on 392,803 fewer outstanding shares of common stock.
