VISALIA, Calif., April 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Valley Commerce Bancorp, (OTCBB: VCBP), a bank holding company and the parent company of Valley Business Bank, today announced first quarter 2011 net income of $625,000, or $0.20 per diluted common share.  This compared to earnings of $250,000, or $0.06 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2010.

Allan Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "I am pleased to report that Valley Business Bank continues to have strong performance with improved earnings and no credit losses during the first quarter of 2011.  This supports the prestigious Five-Star rating that we were recently awarded by Bauer Financial, an independent bank rating company.  We still maintain a conservative outlook toward business conditions but are beginning to see positive indications that our economy is beginning its journey toward recovery.  We are in a good position to take advantage of the recovery with a strong capital position and plenty of money to lend."

Comparison of March 31, 2011 to December 31, 2010

  • Assets increased $3.0 million or 0.9% to $344.5 million
  • Net loans decreased by $12.4 million or 5.3% to $221.9 million
  • Allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) increased by $232,000 to $6.9 million; the ALLL as percentage of total loans increased to 3.03% compared to 2.78%
  • Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans increased from 2.9% to 3.2%; non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased from 2.0% to 2.1%.
  • Total deposits increased by $2.4 million or 0.8% to $296.7 million
  • Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio increased from 17.5% to 18.2%.

Comparison of March 31, 2011 to March 31, 2010

  • Assets slightly decreased by $177,000 to $344.5 million
  • Net loans decreased by $13.2 million or 6% to $221.9 million
  • ALLL increased by $108,000 to $6.9 million; the ALLL as percentage of total loans increased to 3.03% compared to 2.83%
  • Non-performing loans as a percentage of net loans increased from 3.0% to 3.2%; non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets was static at 2.1%
  • Total deposits remained relatively unchanged at $296.7 million, a decrease of $1.7 million.
  • Shareholder's equity increased by $2.2 million or 6% to $39.3 million; the Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio increased from 16.4% to 18.2%

Loans, Investment Securities and Deposits

Net loans (gross loans less the ALLL) decreased during the first quarter of 2011, primarily reflecting low loan demand coupled with a significant amount of loan repayments.   Average gross loans were $233.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $240.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $7.4 million or 3% which reflected fewer opportunities for commercial real estate mortgage lending between March 31, 2010 and 2011 due to economic uncertainty.

Available-for-sale investment securities increased to $57.6 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $50.8 million at December 31, 2010.  The increase was due to purchases of various mortgage-backed securities, agency bonds and other investments offset by normal principal payments, maturities, and calls within the investment portfolio.

The Company's deposits increased by $2.4 million or 0.8%, from $294.3 million at December 31, 2010 to $296.7 million at March 31, 2011.  The amount of brokered time deposits included in total deposits at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $9.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively.  Average total deposits were $298.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and $296.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $1.8 million or 1%.  The Bank is continuing its efforts to build core deposits from local sources through ongoing marketing efforts.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2011 were comprised of ten nonaccrual loans spread among seven customer relationships with an aggregate balance of $7.2 million compared with nine nonaccrual loans spread among six customer relationships at December 31, 2010 with an aggregate balance of $6.8 million.  The Company had no other real estate owned (OREO) at either date.  

The Company increased its ALLL from $6.7 million at December 31, 2010 to $6.9 million at March 31, 2011.  The Company booked loan loss provisions totaling $225,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $600,000 during the same period in 2010.  The ALLL represented 3.03% of total loans at March 31, 2011 compared to 2.78% at December 31, 2010.

The portion of the ALLL relating to specific impaired loans was $2.0 million at March 31, 2011 and $1.8 million at December 31, 2010.  Impaired loans totaled $11.9 million and $11.5 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, impaired loans were comprised of the nonaccrual loans included in nonperforming assets and certain performing loans that are not expected to perform in accordance with the original loan agreement.

Net charge-offs for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were minimal.

Shareholders' Equity

Total shareholders' equity increased by $592,000 during the first quarter to $39.3 million at March 31, 2011.  The increase resulted primarily from first quarter earnings of $625,000 offset by preferred stock dividends.  Book value per common share increased to $12.02 at March 31, 2011 from $11.80 at December 31, 2010 due to these same factors.  

Valley Commerce Bancorp's Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio increased to 18.2% at March 31, 2011 compared to 17.5% at December 31, 2010.  The change was attributable to both first quarter earnings and to a decrease in risk-based assets.

Comparison of First Quarter 2011 to First Quarter 2010

  • Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by $200,000 or 6%
  • The provision for loan losses decreased by $375,000
  • Non-interest income increased by $31,000 or 10%
  • Non-interest expense decreased by $50,000 or 2%

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

For the quarter ended March 31, 2011 net interest income before provision for loan losses totaled $3.4 million, an increase of $200,000 or 6% from the $3.2 million earned during the first quarter of 2010.  Net interest income increased during the 2011 period due primarily to growth in investment securities and due from banks on the asset side resulting in an increase to interest income and to reductions in interest rates on deposits on the liability side resulting in decreased interest expense.

Net interest margin was 4.49% and 4.39% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of ten basis points.  The improvement reflected the Company's management of interest rate changes occurring within the loan and deposit portfolios during 2011.  Average loan yield was 6.11% and 6.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, while the average rates paid on deposits was 0.77% and 1.21% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The improvement in rates paid on deposits was facilitated by a reduction in time deposits and the continual decrease in market rates during those periods.

Non-Interest Income

For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, non-interest income totaled $327,000, an increase of $31,000 or 10% from the first quarter of 2010.  The quarterly increase resulted from increases in mortgage loan underwriting fees, earnings on life insurance policies, and gain on sale of investment securities that offset a decrease in service charges on deposits.

Non-Interest Expense

For the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, non-interest expense remained static at $2.6 million.  Salaries and employee benefits increased by $46,000 or 3% due largely to the expense of stock options granted in the first quarter of 2011.  This was offset by an $18,000 or 5% decrease in occupancy and equipment costs that resulted from the relocation of the Visalia branch office from leased quarters to a purchased facility in early 2010.
