CHARLES TOWN, W.Va., Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, Potomac Bancshares, Inc. earned $502 thousand or $0.15 cents per share compared to $471 thousand or $0.14 cents a share for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, an improvement of 7%.

"During 2012, we continued to see signs that the economy was stabilizing as real estate prices in our area stopped declining and demand for both new and existing housing picked up," stated President and CEO Robert F. Baronner, Jr. "For the first time in a number of years, we experienced loan growth with loans net of reserve of $211.4 million at 12/31/12 compared to $202.8 million at 12/31/11, an increase of 4.2%. We had a record year for residential mortgage production and began to see our commercial loan portfolio grow once again. In 2012, credit quality continued to improve as non-performing assets (non-accruing loans and other real estate owned) as a percentage to total assets declined from 4.74% at 12/31/11 to 2.97% at 12/31/12."
Baronner reports, "As we enter 2013 and beyond, we are more committed than ever to the idea that the community banking model is best for the customer, best for the community and most importantly, best for our shareholders. BCT's long-term strategy includes improving efficiency, and keeping up to date with the latest in products, services, technology and security. As the economy continues to improve, we have plans to expand into other markets in order to grow our footprint, diversify our loan portfolios, and improve earnings."
