Idaho Banking Company Reports First Quarter 2004 Results BOISE,
Idaho, April 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today Idaho Banking
Company (BULLETIN BOARD: IBCB) reported net income of $120,000 for
the first quarter of 2004. On a per share basis, net income
increased to $.14 for the quarter which compares very favorably to
the $.08 per share reported for the first quarter of 2003. Overall,
quarterly net income increased 71% from the same period in 2003 and
the first three months of 2004 established another quarterly
earnings record for the Bank. The most significant factor driving
the earnings improvement was a 40% growth in the loan portfolio
over the same period in 2003. The Bank finished the first quarter
with total loans exceeding $104 million which resulted in an
improvement of the Bank's loan to deposit ratio to 86% as of March
31, 2004. The growth of the loan portfolio combined with the
improved mix in the balance sheet yielded a 26% increase in net
interest income over the first quarter of the prior year. Quarterly
net interest margin also demonstrated improvement to 3.62%. Net
interest income has shown increases for three consecutive quarters.
Credit quality remains very strong with the Bank finishing the
quarter with no loans in non accruing status and past dues loans
greater than 30 days only a nominal 0.01% of total loans. The
allowance for loan losses decreased to 1.54% of total loans
primarily because of the large growth in the loan portfolio.
However, given that loan recoveries exceeded loan charge-offs by
$33,000 in the first quarter, Management deems the size of the
allowance to be adequate. Compared to March 31, 2003, total assets
increased 16% to end the quarter at $144.4 million. Similarly,
total deposits increased $16.5 million to finish at $120.6 million.
On a per share basis, the Company's book value increased $.40 to
$13.67. The Bank remains well capitalized according to standards
established by the Federal Reserve Bank and the State of Idaho.
"The Treasure Valley business climate showed signs of strengthening
in the first quarter of 2004" said Mike Johnston, President and
CEO. "Commercial loan demand increased and our volume of single
family mortgage loan originations, in particular purchase money
transactions, remains good. With our new Meridian Branch on
schedule to open June 1st, we remain very optimistic on the Bank's
prospects for 2004." Idaho Banking Company, a state-chartered
commercial bank and member of the Federal Reserve Bank, was
organized in 1996. The bank operates three branch offices and one
mortgage office in Ada County. A fourth branch, located in
Meridian, Idaho, is currently under construction and is expected to
open June 1, 2004. Contacts: Michael K. Johnston, President and CEO
