SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New Resource Bank (OTC PINK:NWBN) has announced unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Net income rose from $519,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 to $7.1 million in the current quarter. Our September 2015 quarterly results included a non-recurring $6.8 million tax benefit, reflecting the recognition of a deferred tax asset (DTA) primarily from the operating loss carry forward for the years 2006 to 2011. Pre-tax income for the quarter was $267,000, 50 percent below the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Our pre-tax income for third quarter 2014 included a non-recurring loan prepayment penalty; pre-tax income for the current quarter was impacted primarily by the cost of the bank’s recent move to our new offices and continued growth in our staff.

Gross loans totaled $186 million — a $12.7 million or 7.3 percent increase over September 30, 2014. Total deposits amounted to $238 million — an increase of $39.3 million or 19.8 percent over September 30, 2014.

“Our third quarter results — as evidenced by the recognition of the deferred tax asset — are a testament to our financial stability and the quality of our earnings since 2011,” said Vince Siciliano, New Resource Bank president and CEO.

Key financial results from the third quarter of 2015 compared with the same quarter of 2014 include:

  • Loan growth: Loans outstanding grew 7.3 percent to $186.3 million from $173.6 million a year ago.
  • Asset quality: Non-performing assets to total assets rose from 0.09 percent to 0.63 percent. The increase in non-performing assets was the result of a single commercial loan classified as non-accrual in the fourth quarter of 2014.
  • Deposits: Deposits rose 19.8 percent to $238.5 million at September 30, 2015, from $199.1 million at September 30, 2014.
  • Total assets: Total assets increased 21.4 percent to $280.2 million at September 30, 2015 from $230.7 million at September 30, 2014.
  • Net interest income: Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $2.57 million, a decline of $65,000 from the quarter ended on September 30, 2014. The third quarter of 2014 included a nonrecurring loan prepayment penalty of $132,000.
  • Non-interest expense: Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $2.51 million, a 7.8 percent increase from $2.32 million for the quarter ended on September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to an expansion in staffing to support the bank’s growth and expenses associated with the bank’s move to 255 California Street.
  • Efficiency ratio: The bank’s efficiency ratio for the quarter ended on September 30, 2015 was 90.4 percent, an increase from 81.9 percent for the quarter ended September 2014. As with non-interest expense, the increase was primarily due to an expansion in staffing to support the bank’s growth as well as the costs associated with the office move.
  • Risk-based capital: The third quarter of 2015 reflected the capital guidelines associated with BASEL III. The bank’s common equity tier 1 capital ratio amounted to 15.8 percent and the total risk-based capital ratio was 17.1 percent, significantly above the standard for a well-capitalized bank.

“The third quarter was a unique period as it reflected the completion of our move to our new office. I am pleased we are able to convey our overall financial performance through this quarter’s one time recognition of the bank’s deferred tax asset. However our market remains very competitive, especially in growing our loan portfolio, and we remain cognizant of this as we plan for the next year and beyond,” said Mark A. Finser, chairman of the New Resource Bank board.
