TEMECULA, Calif., July 12, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Mission Oaks Bancorp (OTCBB:MOKB) reported record earnings and asset growth in the second quarter ended June 30 and for the first six months of 2006.
Mission Oaks Bancorp, whose principal subsidiary is Temecula-based Mission Oaks National Bank, said it earned $475,000, or 12 cents a share, in the second quarter of 2006, up from $410,000, or 11 cents a share, posted a year earlier. Per share amounts were adjusted to account for a two-for-one stock split that was effective Sept. 1, 2005.
"We continue to experience strong demand for loans and our personalized services," said Gary Votapka, Mission Oaks Bancorp president and chief executive. "Adding loan officers at branches in Temecula and our Business Center in Ontario and increased lending limits contributed to the positive results."
In the first six months of 2006, Mission Oaks earned a record $1.3 million, or 32 cents a share, compared with $830,000, or 22 cents a share, in the same period a year earlier.
Assets as of June 30, 2006 reached $158.7 million, up $25.3 million, or 19 percent, from the same period a year ago.
In the quarter, interest income reached $2.6 million, up from $2 million a year earlier. Net loans finished the quarter at $103.4, up $16.5, or 19 percent, from the same period a year ago.
Total deposits increased by $4.5 million, or 3.9 percent, to $120.3 million in the first six months of 2006.
In the first half of 2006, annualized return on average assets (ROA), a ratio of profit to assets, reached 1.74 percent. A year ago, it stood at 1.37 percent. Annualized return on average shareholders' equity (ROE), a ratio of profit to equity, was 17.23 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2006, up from 13.99 percent a year earlier.
More than 750 similarly sized U.S. banks reported an average ROA and ROE of 1.13 percent and 12.07 percent, respectively, according to a Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. survey as of December 31, 2005.
In the second quarter, Mission Oaks Bancorp completed a private issuance of $7.5 million in trust preferred securities. Net proceeds from the transaction will be used for general corporate purposes, including support for continued growth of the bank.
The additional capital increases Mission Oaks' lending limit to $3.4 million and ensures it remains a well-capitalized institution as assets grow beyond $150 million.

The bank offers personalized services and products through three full-service branch offices in Temecula and Ontario and loan production offices in San Diego and Phoenix.
