Laurel Capital Group Announces Earnings For The First Quarter Of
Fiscal 2004 ALLISON PARK, Pa., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Laurel Capital Group, Inc. today reported net income for the
quarter ended September 30, 2003 of $470,000 or $.24 per diluted
share, as compared to net income of $702,000 or $.35 per diluted
share for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. The $232,000 or 33%
decline in net income for the quarter was primarily the result of
continued compression of the interest margin and increased
operating expenses, primarily attributable to increased expenses
incurred as the result of the acquisition of SFSB Holding Company
on March 28, 2003, partially offset by an increase in other income
and a decrease in income taxes. At September 30, 2003, Laurel
Capital Group had total assets of $307.3 million, loans receivable
of $158.0 million and total deposits of $251.2 million. At
September 30, 2003, stockholders' equity amounted to $27.5 million
or $14.59 per share compared to $27.1 million or $14.39 per share
at September 30, 2002, and $27.7 million or $14.71 per share at
June 30, 2003. Laurel Capital Group, Inc., headquartered in Allison
Park, Pa., is the holding company for Laurel Savings Bank. Laurel
Savings Bank is a 116-year- old, Pennsylvania-chartered,
FDIC-insured savings bank with eight full-service offices located
