SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Jan. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Locally owned Lighthouse Bank (OTC Bulletin Board: LGHT) today released unaudited financial results for the 4th quarter-ended December 31, 2012.  The Bank posted a $509 thousand profit for the period, representing the 14th successive quarter of profitable operations and record quarterly earnings for the five-year-old Bank.  Profit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 was a record $1.8 million and represented a 29% increase in earnings compared to the same period-ended December 31, 2011.  For the 12-month period, shareholders' equity increased by 11% to $20.8 million, while total assets increased by 18% to $168.8 million.  At 12-31-12, the Bank's equity capital was in excess of the Regulatory Definitions for "well capitalized" distinction.  The Bank continued to experience significant growth in both loans and deposits which year over year increased by $11.8 million and $23.2 million, respectively.  Contributing positive performance factors included the Bank's ability to control overhead expense and success in generating and maintaining a portfolio of quality assets.      

The Bank's loan loss reserve of 2.91% of gross loans remained significantly above industry averages. The Bank had no past due loans in excess of 30 days at December 31, 2012.  Total nonperforming assets of $870 thousand represented only 0.5% of total assets.  Since opening in 2007, cumulative net loan losses for the Bank have been less than $200 thousand.  Lighthouse Bank's stellar financial performance continues to garner industry accolades. The Bank is rated by Bauer Financial as 5-Star "Superior", the top ranking given by the independent bank rating firm.  FMC Consulting Group named the Bank as among the top 15 (of 230) state chartered Banks in California.  The Findley Reports named Lighthouse Bank a "Super Premier" performing bank, the highest ranking given by the well-known banking publication.  The Bank has no financial relationship with any of these rating agencies.
