PARKE BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY EARNINGS


WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, NJ, October 31, 2011 - Parke Bancorp, Inc. (“Parke Bancorp”) (NASDAQ: “PKBK”), the parent company of Parke Bank, announces its operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
 
Parke Bancorp reported net income available to common shareholders of $1.32 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, for the September 30, 2011 quarter, compared to net income of $1.58 million, or $0.32 per diluted common share, reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of 16.6%. The following is a recap of significant items that impacted the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter last year: a $297,000 increase in net interest income primarily attributable to a lower cost of deposits; a $116,000 increase in gain on sale of loans recorded by the Bank’s SBA joint venture, of which the Bank owns 51%; a $250,000 increase in the loan loss provision; a $243,000 increase in salary expense attributable to annual increases and additional staffing. In addition, the Company wrote-down the carrying value of OREO by $480,000 due to signed agreement of sales and deterioration of real estate values in our region. Net income available to common shareholders year-to-date was $5.26 million or $1.05 per diluted common share, compared to $4.89 million, or $0.98 per diluted common share, reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 7.6%.
 
At September 30, 2011, Parke Bancorp's total assets increased to $767.0 million from $756.9 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $10.2 million or 1.3%.
 
Parke Bancorp's total loans increased to $638.2 million from $626.7 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $11.5 million or 1.8%.
 
At September 30, 2011, Parke Bancorp had $38.8 million in non-performing loans representing 5.1% of total assets, an increase from $27.4 million at December 31, 2010. Loans past due 30 to 89 days were $4.5 million at September 30, 2011, a decrease of $11.4 million from December 31, 2010 and an increase of $1.2 million from June 30, 2011.
 
 
 

 
 
At September 30, 2011, Parke Bancorp's allowance for loan losses was $16.5 million. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans increased to 2.6% at September 30, 2011 from 2.4% at December 31, 2010. During the quarter Parke Bancorp charged-off $2.4 million in loans, primarily due to estimated collateral deficiencies on impaired loans. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 42.5% at September 30, 2011, compared to 53.9% at December 31, 2010.
 
Parke Bancorp's total investment securities portfolio decreased to $26.4 million from $29.7 million at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $3.3 million or 11.1%.

The real estate owned consisted of 13 properties, the largest being a condominium development recorded at $12.3 million. This property was sold and financed by Parke Bank in 2010 but does not qualify for a sales treatment under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

Vito S. Pantilione, President and Chief Executive Officer of Parke Bancorp and Parke Bank, provided the following statement:
 
“We continue to generate very strong earnings through very tight controls on our expenses and a robust net interest margin. Our year to date net income increased 8% over the same period last year, which was a record year for Parke Bank earnings. The real estate market remains a major challenge to the economy and our Bank. We have made substantial progress on working out the challenges in our loan portfolio; however, we still have work to do. The struggling economy combined with the regulatory environment makes it very difficult to work through challenging assets and generate new loans for our bank. Despite this, we are proud that Parke Bank continues to generate a double digit return to our shareholders, 11.91% through the first three quarters of 2011.”
