North Valley Bancorp (NASDAQ: NOVB), a bank holding company with $884 million in assets, today filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. North Valley Bancorp ("the Company") is the parent company for North Valley Bank ("NVB").

Michael J. Cushman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "2009 was a challenging year for many community banks as a result of the depth of the recession; specifically, its impact on residential development projects. We continue to execute our strategy of reducing exposure to those loans that were most impacted by this event and since 2007 that portfolio has been reduced by 60%. In 37 years of business we have successfully navigated through a number of business cycles. We continue to be focused on current challenges while being poised for opportunities that position the Company well for the future."

The Company reported a net loss for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009 of $19,340,000, or $2.58 per diluted share, compared to net income of $854,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the same period in 2008. The primary reason for the loss was a goodwill impairment charge of $15,187,000, or $2.03 per diluted share. This fourth quarter 2009 earnings charge for goodwill impairment was a non-cash charge of $15,187,000 with no effect on the Company and Bank's cash balances, liquidity or tangible equity capital. Similarly, since goodwill is excluded when calculating regulatory capital, the Company's and Bank's regulatory capital ratios were not significantly affected by the charge. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the goodwill charge of $15,187,000, the Company would have recorded a loss of $4,153,000, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2009 and a loss of $10,665,000, or $1.42 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company reported a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $25,852,000, or $3.45 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1,794,000, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2008. Kevin R. Watson, Chief Financial Officer, stated that, "A significant contributor to the operating loss reported in the fourth quarter and the year was a one-time, non-cash accounting charge to goodwill in the amount of $15,187,000. This charge has no impact on the Bank's cash balances, liquidity or tangible equity ratios."

The Company recorded provisions for loan and lease losses of $9,000,000 and $26,500,000 for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009, respectively, compared to provisions for loan and lease losses of $3,000,000 and $12,100,000 for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2008. The allowance for loan and lease losses at December 31, 2009 was $18,539,000, or 3.08% of total loans, compared to $11,327,000, or 1.63% of total loans at December 31, 2008.

At December 31, 2009, the Company's Total Risk-based Capital was $87,791,000, and its risk-based capital ratios were: Total Risk-based Capital ratio - 12.19%; Tier 1 risk-based Capital ratio - 9.09%; and Tier 1 Leverage ratio - 7.16%. The Bank's Total Risk-based Capital was $89,015,000, and its risk-based capital ratios were: Total Risk-based Capital ratio - 12.38%; Tier 1 risk-based Capital ratio - 11.11%; and Tier 1 Leverage ratio - 8.80%.

At December 31, 2009, total assets were $884,362,000, an increase of $4,811,000 from $879,551,000 at December 31, 2008. The loan portfolio totaled $602,417,000 at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $91,005,000, or 13.1%, compared to December 31, 2008. The Company was successful in decreasing its Real Estate - Construction portfolio during the year by $44,644,000 from $136,755,000 at December 31, 2008 to $92,111,000 at December 31, 2009. This reduction was primarily from principal reductions and pay-offs but was also a result of certain charge-offs and properties taken into other real estate owned (OREO). Commercial loans and Real Estate - Commercial loans decreased $25,516,000 and $13,181,000, respectively. The loan to deposit ratio at December 31, 2009 was 76.6% as compared to 91.9% at December 31, 2008.

Total deposits grew by $32,865,000, or 4.4%, to $787,809,000 at December 31, 2009, driven by increases in saving and money market deposits of $32,693,000, interest bearing demand deposits of $8,343,000, and time deposits of $1,156,000, offset by a decrease in noninterest bearing demand of $9,327,000. Available-for-sale investment securities and Federal funds sold increased $69,990,000 and $48,250,000, respectively, improving the Company's liquidity position. The increase in securities and Federal funds sold was the result of the increase in deposits and decrease in loans, as part of the Company's strategy to increase its on-balance sheet liquidity.

Credit Quality

The overall level of nonperforming loans (defined as nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest) decreased $7,864,000 to $46,598,000 at December 31, 2009 from $54,462,000 at September 30, 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company added eleven loans totaling $8,507,000 to nonperforming loans. These additions were offset by reductions in nonperforming loans totaling $16,371,000 due primarily to charge-offs of $9,970,000, transfers to OREO of eleven properties totaling $4,802,000, and collections received on certain loans.

Nonperforming loans totaled $46,598,000 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $27,662,000 from the December 31, 2008 balance of $18,936,000. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 7.74% at December 31, 2009, compared to 2.73% at December 31, 2008.

Nonperforming assets (nonperforming loans and OREO) totaled $58,975,000 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $29,631,000 from the December 31, 2008 balance of $29,344,000. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 6.67% at December 31, 2009 compared to 3.34% at December 31, 2008.

The Company's OREO properties increased $4,452,000 to $12,377,000 at December 31, 2009 from $7,925,000 at September 30, 2009. The increase in OREO was due to the transfer of eleven properties totaling $4,802,000 which was partially offset by the write-down of OREO of $164,000 and the disposition of one OREO property during the fourth quarter of 2009 for $163,000. The Company recorded a loss on the sale of OREO of $23,000.

Gross loan and lease charge offs for the fourth quarter of 2009 were $9,970,000 and recoveries totaled $86,000 resulting in net charge offs of $9,884,000 compared to gross loan and lease charge offs for the fourth quarter of 2008 of $1,724,000 and recoveries totaled $92,000 resulting in net charge offs of $1,632,000. Gross charge offs for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $20,744,000 and recoveries totaled $1,456,000 resulting in net charge offs of $19,288,000 compared to gross charge offs for the year ended December 31, 2008 of $11,805,000 and recoveries totaled $277,000 resulting in net charge offs of $11,528,000.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company identified eleven loans totaling $8,507,000 as nonaccrual loans, which were made up primarily of three relationships. The largest relationship of this group is a commercial real estate loan in the amount of $2,879,000 for a single-tenant commercial building located in Sacramento County. This property has a current appraisal, and a specific reserve of $944,000 has been established for this loan. The second largest customer relationship in this group is a residential land acquisition and development loan in the amount of $2,468,000 located in Sonoma County. This property has a current appraisal, and a specific reserve of $862,000 has been established for this loan. The third largest customer relationship in this group represents two residential land acquisition and development loans in the amount of $1,738,000 located in Shasta County. These properties have current appraisals and specific reserves totaling $384,000 have been established for these loans. The remaining seven loans in this group that were placed on nonaccrual during the fourth quarter of 2009 total $1,422,000 and have specific reserves of $228,000.

Operating Results

Net interest income, which represents the Company's largest component of revenues and is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings, decreased $581,000, or 7.1%, for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Interest income decreased by $1,435,000, primarily due to both a lower yield on earning assets and a decrease in the average balances of earning assets and secondarily due to foregone interest income of $617,000 for the loans currently on nonaccrual status. Partially offsetting this was a decrease in interest expense of $854,000, or 23.0%, due to a decrease in the rates paid on deposits and a decrease in the average balance of borrowings for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Average loans decreased $77,006,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to the fourth quarter of 2008 and the yield on the loan portfolio decreased 37 basis points to 5.89% for the fourth quarter of 2009. Overall, average earning assets increased $36,888,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. Average yields on earning assets decreased 96 basis points from the quarter ended December 31, 2008, to 5.06% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 67 basis points to 1.66%. The Company's net interest margin (tax equivalent basis) for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was 3.68%, a decrease of 47 basis points from 4.15% for the fourth quarter in 2008 and remained flat from the net interest margin (tax equivalent basis) of 3.68% for the linked quarter ended September 30, 2009. "The foregone interest from the level of nonperforming loans reduced our net interest margin by approximately 30 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2009. We continue to recognize improvement on the rates paid on our interest bearing liabilities which decreased 18 basis points from the linked quarter," commented Mr. Watson. Net interest income decreased $3,903,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Interest income decreased by $8,136,000, primarily due to a lower yield on earning assets and secondarily due to foregone interest income of $2,143,000 for the loans placed on nonaccrual status. Interest expense decreased $4,233,000 due to a decrease in rates paid on average interest bearing liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased 43 basis points to 3.88% from the net interest margin of 4.31% for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was $3,266,000 compared to $2,900,000 for the same period in 2008 representing an increase of $366,000, or 12.6%. Service charges on deposits decreased $111,000 to $1,591,000 for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $1,702,000 for the fourth quarter of 2008, while other fees and charges increased by $117,000 to $1,052,000 for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $935,000 for the same period in 2008. Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased $3,858,000, or 38.0%, to $14,010,000 from $10,152,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The primary reason for the increase in noninterest income in 2009 compared to 2008 was due to an impairment charge on FNMA Preferred Stock of $3,284,000 during the third quarter of 2008. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $679,000 to $6,483,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $7,162,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Other fees and charges increased $383,000 to $4,265,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $3,882,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Noninterest expenses increased $14,291,000 to $23,874,000 for the fourth quarter of 2009 from $9,583,000 for the fourth quarter of 2008. The reason for the increase was due to a goodwill impairment charge of $15,187,000 during the fourth quarter of 2009. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $566,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009 from the same period in 2008, and occupancy expense and furniture and equipment expense decreased $144,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Other real estate owned expense was $284,000 compared to zero for the same period in 2008. Other expenses decreased $470,000 to $3,086,000 for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $3,556,000 for the fourth quarter of 2008. Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased $15,332,000 to $53,990,000 compared to $38,658,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The reason for the increase was due to a goodwill impairment charge of $15,187,000 during the fourth quarter of 2009 as mentioned above and more fully explained below. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $2,026,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from the year ended December 31, 2008 due to several cost cutting initiatives implemented by the Company in 2009. Offsetting this decrease, FDIC deposit insurance assessments increased $1,635,000 when compared to the same period in 2008, reflecting the FDIC's higher base assessment rate for 2009 and expenses related to the FDIC's industry-wide emergency special assessment in the second quarter. Occupancy expense and furniture and equipment expense decreased $114,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008.

The Company recorded a benefit for income taxes for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 of $2,721,000, compared to a benefit for income taxes of $2,409,000, for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The benefit for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $9,394,000, compared to a benefit for income taxes of $3,675,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company conducted an analysis to assess the need for a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2009. Management considered all available evidence, including both positive and negative, as part of this assessment. Management has determined that it is not more likely than not that all of the deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2009 will not be realized, and therefore no valuation allowance was recorded.
