LENOIR, N.C., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Parkway Bank (OTC:PKWY) (BULLETIN BOARD: PKWY) today reported earnings for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2006. Net income for the third quarter of 2006 was $263,887 or $.18 per diluted share, compared to $294,727 or $.21 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2005. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $753,323 or $.52 per diluted share, compared to $808,368 or $.57 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Parkway Bank President and CEO, Gary Clawson, in commenting on the results, noted, "Our operational performance continues to show improvement as year-to-date net income in 2006 is fully taxable compared to minimal income taxes paid during the same period in 2005. The bank is only five years old and as we continue to mature and grow, performance should continue to improve. The entire banking industry, will however, have to consider extensive planning to address the increasing expenses associated with new and existing regulatory issues. Expenditures in legal, accounting, training and compliance are areas, in addition to all other expenses, we continuously monitor in order to perform at the high level we expect of ourselves." Parkway Bank is a community bank operating two branches in Caldwell County, North Carolina.
