CHINO, Calif., July 27, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of Chino Commercial Bancorp (OTCBB:CCBC), the parent company of Chino Commercial Bank, N.A., announced the results of operations for the Bank and the consolidated holding company for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 with a net loss of $49,945, an 451.9% reduction from net income of $14,193 for the same quarter of 2010. The net loss for the most recent quarter represents ($0.07) per diluted share, as compared with earnings of $0.02 per diluted share from the same quarter last year. The Company's profit year-to-date increased 176.4% to $153,360 or $0.20 per diluted share as compared with net earnings of $55,478 or $0.08 per diluted share for the same period last year.
Dann H. Bowman, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Earnings for the Bank have been relatively stable, however considerably higher provisions for possible loan losses lowered the Bank's net profit below the same period last year. Despite these provisions we are very pleased with the Bank's overall performance. During a time when many organizations are suffering from credit problems, we are proud to report at the end of June the Company had only three loans which were delinquent more than 30 days."
Financial Condition
Balance sheet changes in the first half of 2011 include declines in deposits, and earning assets. Total deposits decreased by $9.4 million, or 9.1%, to $93.6 million at June 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010. Much of the decline was in NOW and money market balances which decreased $5.4 million or 14.9%, and time deposits which decreased $4.3 million or 19.0% in the first half of 2011. This was done by design to eliminate higher yielding deposits. The ratio of non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits increased from 40.7% at December 31, 2010 to 45.4% at June 30, 2011.
Total assets decreased from $113.9 million at December 31, 2010 to $104.6 million at June 30, 2011, an 8.2% decrease. Investment securities decreased from $16.9 million at December 31, 2010 to $14.6 million or 13.4%, gross Loans declined slightly from $60.5 million to $58.5 million, and due from banks time from $19.4 million to $12.6 million. Overall, earning assets decreased 11.4% in the six month period ended June 30, 2011.

Earnings
The Company increased its provision for loan losses 9.3% or $23,250 to $250,667 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and while reducing its provision 45.7% or $234,913 to $279,439 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increased provisions in 2011 were posted to maintain larger balances in the allowance for loan losses due to the deteriorated economic conditions.
The Company posted net interest income for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 of $907,439 and $977,310, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, the Company posted net interest income of $1,926,811 and $1,930,074 for 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Non-interest income increased 16.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $711,113, as compared to $612,762 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The major contributor to the increase in the six-month period was service charges on deposit accounts. The Company has not increased its per-item service charges.
General and administrative expenses were $1,056,146 and $2,137,274 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $1,045,117 and $1,974,043 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Occupancy and equipment expense, as well as data and item processing expenses increased due to the addition of a third branch in April 2010.. Regulatory assessments expense increased $22,363 for the quarter and $45,617 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 due to the increased assessment rates.
Legal and other professional fees increased 234.8% and 139.5% or $92,561 and $117,779, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 as a result of increased loan collection activity, regulatory matters, and complexity of SEC related filings.
Other expenses decreased $63,647 to $79,427 in the second quarter of 2011, and decreased $71,056 to $173,742 in the first half of 2011 due primarily to decreases in expenses charged to analysis and other lending expenses.
