Friendly Hills Bank (the "bank") (OTCBB: FHLB) reported results for
the first quarter of 2013.
For the three month period ending March 31, 2013, the bank
reported a loss of $47,000 or ($0.03) per diluted share of common
stock. This figure includes a $33,000 increase in the value of the
interest rate caps and a $99,000 provision for loan loss. The bank
reported a profit of $75,000 or $0.05 per diluted share of common
stock for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This figure
includes an $8,000 increase in the value of an interest rate
cap.
As of March 31, 2013, the bank reported total assets of $102.6
million, a 4% increase from $98.8 million as of March 31, 2012. The
bank's loan portfolio, net of unearned income, increased 6% from
$57.6 million as of March 31, 2012, to $60.9 million as of March
31, 2013. The portfolio remains diversified with $27.7 million or
46% in Commercial & Industrial Loans to local businesses
(including $17.4 million in Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate
Loans), $16.4 million or 27% in Residential Real Estate Loans to
investors and $12.2 million or 20% in Commercial Real Estate Loans
to investors. The bank has an additional $15.3 million in unfunded
loan commitments.
The bank's overall deposit base has increased 5% in the twelve
months ended March 31, 2013, from $77.1 million as of March 31,
2012, to $80.8 million as of March 31, 2013. Non-interest bearing
deposits continue to form a substantial part of the deposit base
(41%), growing from $29.3 million to $33.4 million as of March 31,
2013. During the same time period interest-bearing deposits
decreased slightly from $47.8 million to $47.4 million on March 31,
2013. The bank has no deposits which were sourced through brokers
or other wholesale funding sources.
At March 31, 2013, shareholders' equity was $12.8 million and
the bank's total risk-based capital ratio was 18%, significantly
exceeding the "well-capitalized" level of 10% prescribed under
regulatory requirements. The bank also continues to maintain
substantial liquidity positions, retaining significant balances of
liquidity as well as available collateralized borrowings and other
potential sources of liquidity.
"First quarter earnings were negatively impacted by the
continued narrowing of interest rate margins resulting from the
current economic environment," commented Jeffrey K. Ball, Chief
Executive Officer. "Despite 4% growth of the overall bank and a 6%
increase in loans, Interest Income was $145,000, or 14%, lower than
the same period last year. This was partially offset by an $18,000,
or 14%, reduction in Interest Expense and an $81,000, or 9%,
reduction in Operating Expenses over the same time period.
Meanwhile, as our local economy remains soft, we have increased our
loan loss provision as part of our continued risk management
process. Although disappointed by the short-term impact of these
factors, we feel that the bank remains in a strong position for
future growth with sufficient capital and liquidity to support
long-term shareholder value."
