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 second quarter of 2012 of $1,071,000 or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to net earnings available to common shareholders of $966,000 or $0.27 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2011. Dividend payments on the preferred shares outstanding were made as required by the Treasury Department’s Small Business Lending Program. Total assets as of June 30, 2012 were $748,750,000 compared to $718,448,000 as of June 30, 2011. Our net loan totals declined by $6,456,000 or 1.4% during the second quarter of 2012 when compared to the second quarter of 2011, and our deposits increased $23,335,000 or 3.7% during the same time period. The Company’s liquidity position remains strong with $203,548,000 in available for sale securities and $44,856,000 in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2012.

 

During March, 2012, FNB Bancorp entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement whereby FNB Bancorp agreed to acquire all the outstanding shares of Oceanic Bank Holding, Inc., the sole shareholder of Oceanic Bank, in San Francisco, CA. This purchase is subject to regulatory approval.

 

“First National Bank of Northern California was able to continue to grow our loan and deposit portfolios during the second quarter of 2012. Earnings available to common shareholders during the second quarter were again in excess of $1 million dollars. The level of nonperforming loans continues to be high by historical standards, but workout programs are in place and proceeding. The result of these programs should become evident by improvement in the level of nonperforming assets during the second half of 2012. We continue to work with our borrowers through loan workout and modification programs in order to provide the best outcome possible for the Bank and our loan customers,” stated Tom McGraw, Chief Executive Officer.

“During the second quarter, we were able to continue to grow our balance sheet. Our loan pipeline has recently improved, and we hope to be able to fund more loans and increase the size of our loan portfolio during the remainder of 2012. We have recently hired an additional loan officer for our Sunnyvale loan production center in the belief that we have significant lending opportunities available to us in Santa Clara county. It is our intent to eventually gain regulatory approval to make this location a full service branch. We believe the key to the success of our Bank is our ability to grow our franchise through means that make sense. We believe that our growth is best achieved through thoughtful strategic acquisitions, such as the Oceanic Bank purchase, as well as organic growth and branch expansion, as evidenced by our commitment to our Sunnyvale loan production office. During the second quarter of 2012, the Bank also increased our overnight cash positions in anticipation of regulatory approval to purchase Oceanic Bank. Once the purchase is approved and completed, management expects to adopt a deposit rate structure for Oceanic Bank’s brokered deposits that mirror the rate structure utilized by First National Bank of Northern California. Management believes this may cause some deposit runoff, but should positively affect the overall operations of the combined entities,” continued Mr. McGraw.
