Treasure State Bank Reports Release of Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance

MISSOULA, MT--(Marketwired - May 1, 2013) - Treasure State Bank ("the Bank") (OTCQB: TRSU), a Montana chartered community bank, today reported the following announcement:

President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Salisbury stated, "I am pleased to report that the Bank will report an increase in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 of an additional $700,000, which represents an income tax benefit resulting from a deferred tax asset valuation allowance reversal. The total amount of deferred tax asset valuation allowance is $2.6MM at December 31, 2012, but the Bank has concluded to release only $700,000 of the $2.6MM in accordance with regulatory capital guidelines. The remaining $1.9MM is available to be recognized as an income tax benefit in future periods as additional taxable earnings are anticipated. The Bank has reported profitability for nine consecutive quarters, asset quality has improved, net interest margins remain strong, cost of funds are decreasing and the Bank believes that the allowance for loan loss reserve is adequately funded. This, along with a reasonable expectation of continued profitability, has prompted management to determine that those tax assets would more likely than not be recovered through future taxable income and that maintaining the entire valuation allowance was no longer necessary."

For more information regarding this release, or the Bank in general, you may contact James A. Salisbury, President and CEO, at 406-543-8700.
