BOWIE, Md., April 26, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- WSB Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: "WSB"), the parent company of Washington Savings Bank, F.S.B., (the "Bank") today announced results of operations for the quarter ending March 31, 2011.  WSB reports net earnings of $236,000 or $0.03 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to net earnings of $254,000 or $0.03 per basic and diluted share for the comparable period of the prior year.  

Mr. Phillip C. Bowman said: "We are pleased to announce positive earnings for the second consecutive quarter. This reflects our continued efforts in reducing the amount of problem assets, the reduction of high cost borrowings and the continued effort of increasing the Bank's core deposit base which has allowed the Bank to be able to remain profitable despite the significant slowdown of loan demand.  Interest expense decreased $925,000, or 36%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to the reduction of high cost borrowings.  Despite the significant slowdown of loan demand in commercial and commercial real estate lending, non-interest income increased $481,000, or 103%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily as a result of gain on sale of loans sold in the secondary market.  Non-interest expenses increased $260,000 for the three month period ending March 31, 2011, primarily as a result in increased salaries and benefits, primarily associated with the growth of the mortgage lending department."

The Bank remains well in excess of the regulatory levels for being "well capitalized" and continues to look for profitable opportunities in this market to grow the Bank.      

About The Washington Savings Bank, F.S.B.

The Washington Savings Bank, F.S.B. is a $408 million full service community bank serving the business and consumer needs of the Washington, Baltimore, Annapolis, and Southern Maryland communities.  

Headquartered in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, WSB serves the banking needs of growing businesses with commercial lending facilities, commercial real estate financing, residential mortgages, and residential construction financing for both developers and individual home owners.  The Bank offers a full range of deposit services and products for both consumers and businesses, through internet banking and its branches located in Anne Arundel, Prince George's, and Charles counties.  Remote deposit capture services for our commercial customers allow us a commercially viable means to serve the depository needs of businesses beyond our branch network.  The Bank continues to offer FDIC insurance coverage of $250,000 per depositor.  The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act signed on July 21, 2010, made permanent the current standard maximum deposit insurance amount of $250,000.
