CHINO, Calif., July 24, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Board of Directors of Chino Commercial Bank, N.A. (OTCBB:CCBC) announced the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2006 with net income of $277,642 or $0.31 per diluted share, a 41.9% increase over net income of $195,630 or $0.22 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2005. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $542,173 or $0.61 per diluted share, a 45.4% increase over net income of $372,697 or $0.42 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Dann H. Bowman, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "The continued strong growth in the loan portfolio of the Bank coupled with the steady rise in Interest rates has created an outstanding earnings performance for the Bank for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006."
On July 3, 2006, Chino Commercial Bank, N. A. was pleased to announce that it had completed its reorganization into a holding company structure effective June 30, 2006. As a result of the reorganization, the Bank is now wholly-owned by Chino Commercial Bancorp. Mr. Bowman commented, "The holding company reorganization was completed in order to allow more alternatives for raising capital and access to debt markets as well as capital management, increased structural alternatives for acquisitions and increased flexibility with respect to engaging in non-banking activities. Although at this time, there is no immediate need to engage in any of these activities."
Total Assets increased by 2.1% to $93.3 million from $91.3 million at December 31, 2005. Total Loans increased 10.4% to $46.2 million at June 30, 2006 as compared to $41.8 million at December 31, 2005. Total Deposits increased 1.5% to $85.3 million at June 30, 2006 as compared to $84.02 million at December 31, 2005. On June 30, 2006, the Bank had no loan delinquencies greater than 30 days, no loans on non-accrual status, and no non-performing loans or other real estate owned.
The increase in total income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to an increase in the net interest margin of $384,128 or 20.4%. The Bank posted net interest income of $2,263,883 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $1,879,755 for the same period last year. This increase in income was partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses of $155,961 primarily resulting from an increase in Salary and Benefits expense. The Bank posted net interest income of $1,162,162 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $999,017 for the same quarter last year. This increase in income was partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses of $59,750 resulting primarily from an increase in Salary and Benefits expense.
Average interest-earning assets were $80.5 million with average interest-bearing liabilities of $23.6 million yielding a net interest margin of 5.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to average interest-bearing assets of $73.8 million with average interest-bearing liabilities of $15.9 million yielding a net interest margin of 5.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The net interest margin continues to increase as the Federal Reserve raises short-term interest rates.

The largest component of general and administrative expenses was salary and benefits expense of $842,373 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $717,541 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Salary and benefits increased $124,832 due primarily to higher average full-time equivalent staff associated with the opening of the Ontario Branch on January 5, 2006. Likewise, occupancy and equipment expenses increased $74,841 with the opening of the Ontario Branch.
General and administrative expenses were $844,139 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $784,389 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The largest component of general and administrative expense was salary and benefits expense of $433,195 for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $383,045 for the second quarter of 2005. Salary and benefits expenses and Occupancy and equipment expenses increased for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005 primarily due to the opening of the Ontario branch.
