FNB Bancorp (Bulletin Board: FNBG), parent company of First National Bank of Northern California (the “Bank”), today announced net earnings available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2010 of $682,000 or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to net earnings available to common shareholders of $302,000 or $0.09 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2009. Dividend payments on the preferred shares outstanding were made as required by the Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program during the four quarters ended December 31, 2010. Our balance sheet is highly liquid, our allowance for loan and lease losses is adequate and we continue to be “well capitalized” as defined by bank regulations. Total assets as of December 31, 2010 were $714,539,000 compared to $708,309,000 as of December 31, 2009. Our net loans decreased by $19,521,000 or 3.9% during 2010 and our deposits increased by $29,476,000 or 4.9% during 2010. At December 31, 2010, the Company has considerable liquid assets on hand as evidenced by $126,189,000 in available for sale securities and $60,874,000 in cash and due from banks.
During the fourth quarter of 2010, as part of our continuing efforts to provide our customers a quality banking experience while we improve our operational efficiencies, our Colma branch was closed and the accounts were transferred primarily to our Daly City and South San Francisco branches. This consolidation did not have a materially adverse affect on our deposit base and is expected to provide the Bank operational efficiencies while we continue to provide high quality service to all our customers.
“The consolidation of our Eureka Square branch into our Linda Mar branch in Pacifica and our Colma branch into our Daly City and South San Francisco offices were successfully completed this past year. We were able to consolidate these branch offices without the need for any employee layoffs. The employees of these two offices were able to transition into existing open positions at other branch offices of the Bank,” stated Tom McGraw, Chief Executive Officer.
“During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Bank experienced an increase in our net interest margin and net interest income earned when compared to the same period in 2009. Credit resolution costs have continued to stabilize, which allowed us to lower our provision for loan losses during the fourth quarter of 2010 to $825,000 compared to $900,000 during the same period during 2009,” continued Mr. McGraw.

“The credit outlook for our local economy is slowly improving. However, unemployment rates remain stubbornly high, commercial real estate valuations have yet to completely stabilize, foreclosure levels and residential mortgage defaults continue to make headline news, federal, state and local budgets are under significant strains, and we continue to work through the deleveraging process that naturally occurs during a significant recession. Our Bank continues to manage our credit risks in a prudent manner, trying to find solutions that make sense for the Bank as well as our customers. Management attention has been focused on risk management of our existing loan portfolio and in improving asset quality during all of 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2010, profitability levels were still not at historical levels; however, the Bank has the capital, liquidity, and management capability to take advantage of market opportunities that become available and to grow the Bank during the coming year. During 2011, we are committed to growing our loan portfolio and are actively seeking new loan and deposit customers who want a local community bank that knows and understands their financial needs. We want our customers to know that we are committed to them and to the communities that we serve. We look forward to the opportunity to continue to provide for the banking needs of our customers, as we have done for the last 47 years,” stated Mr. McGraw.
