Performance Summary
The Bank's total assets ended 2009 at $125.4 million, an increase of $4.1
million over year end 2008. This increase was caused by the Bank
continuing its existing marketing and business development efforts which
resulted in an increase of $10.9 million in core deposits which enabled the
Bank to reduce its reliance on CDs by $4.1 million and FHLB advances of
$3.0 million respectively. In addition, the Bank received capital funding
in January 2009 for $3.3 million that the government made available under
the Treasury Capital Purchase Plan (TARP).
The Bank's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $563,000 down
from a loss of $1,088,000 from the year ended December 31, 2008. The
$563,000 was comprised of an operating loss of $264,000 and an adjustment
to the deferred tax asset of $299,000. The Bank had a net loss in 2009 as
a direct result of increasing its provision for loan loss by $500,585 in
the 4th Quarter after management identified five credits that had
deteriorated to the point of impairment during the quarter. Accordingly
reserves were increased. In the case where a new appraisal was obtained
and the appraisal did not support the impairment, the credits were charged
off against the loan loss reserve. The earnings for 2009 represented an
annualized return on average assets of (0.44%), an increase from the
(0.88%) return for the like period in 2008.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income decreased $972,000 in 2009 compared with 2008. The
decrease in the net interest income can mainly be attributed to the
decrease in the prime lending rate during 2008 which carried into 2009 and
the effect it had on income throughout 2009. In addition, net interest
income decreased due to the decrease in outstanding loans in 2009 as the
Bank concentrated on decreasing the risk in its loan portfolio and also
decreased non-core liability leveraging that it had employed in the past.
The Bank's Net Interest Margin as a percentage of Average Assets was 3.98%
and 4.89%, as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
The Bank's Net Interest Expense decreased as the Bank began to increase as
the Bank has been successful in increasing non-interest bearing accounts
(checking accounts), and lower cost transaction accounts (NOW and money
market account) as a percentage of total deposits. Low cost core deposits
as a percentage of total deposits, which increased to 69.3% at December 31,
2009 from 62.5% at December 31, 2008, enabled the Bank to decrease its
interest expense in 2009. Interest expense was $1,575,000 at December 31,
2009 compared to $1,849,000 at December 31, 2008. Deposit interest
expense during 2009 totaled $1,126,000 while FHLB interest expense totaled
$449,000. During 2008, deposit expense totaled $1,227,000 while FHLB
interest expense totaled $622,000.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision to the allowance for loan losses for 2009 was $686,000
compared to $1,648,000 in 2008. The balance in the allowance for loan
losses was $1,940,000 and $2,345,000 for December 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008, respectively. The allowance as a percentage of loans was 1.95% and
2.18% for those same periods. Nonperforming assets, made up of
non-accruing loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due and other real
estate owned totaled $1,356,000 as of December 31, 2009 and $3,109,000 as
of December 31, 2008. Of these non-accruing loans in 2009, $275,000
represents the guarantee provided by the SBA. The Bank did not have any
OREO Assets as of those same time periods. The Bank did have two
properties in OREO during 2009 but was able to dispose of both properties
and generated an $114,000 gain on sale to the Bank. Management continues
to believe that the allowance is adequate to cover future losses.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for year ended December 31, 2009 was $1,174,000, an
increase of $301,000 compared with the year ended December 31, 2008. The
primary reasons for the increase was the gain on sale of OREO of $114,000,
an increase on the gain on sale of available for sale securities of
$48,000, and a gain on insurance proceeds received of $97,000 on one of
the Bank's OREO properties sold during 2009.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense decreased from $6,347,000 for the year ended December
31, 2008 to $5,814,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of
$533,000, or 8.4%. The decrease in expense is directly attributable to the
Bank's continued expense review and its ability to increase its
efficiencies. Expense decreases are predominately related to salaries and
benefits of $432,000, occupancy and equipment of $71,000. The Bank was
also successful in renegotiating various long term contracts that it
currently has. The savings on these negotiations will primarily take place
in 2010 as a number of the contracts did not get finalized until the 4th
quarter. The anticipated reductions in expenses include $156,000 in rental
expense, $55,000 in healthcare benefits, and $96,000 in various operating
systems.
Income Taxes
The Bank has posted a net average loss over the last 3 years and as a
result it was required to record a valuation allowance of $835,000 for its
net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2009. This entry resulted in the
reduction of the net deferred tax asset and a tax expense of $299,000.
Accordingly, the Bank has amassed a tax loss carry forward of $929,000 for
federal tax purposes and $862,000 for state tax purposes as of December 31,
2009. These federal and state net operating loss carry forwards expire
through 2029. Due to the valuation allowance, the Bank will expense the
minimum California tax payment when made. As the Bank posts profits, the
tax accrued will reduce the valuation allowance rather than being deducted
from earnings as would be the case in a regular tax accrual situation.
Liquidity and Asset/Liability Management
As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Bank's liquidity ratio
was 28.5% and 16.9%, respectively. Management is not aware of any future
capital expenditures or other significant demands or commitments that would
significantly impact liquidity.
Capital Resources
Total shareholders' equity increased from $14.2 million at December 31,
2008 to $16.9 million at December 31, 2009. The Bank received capital
funding in January 2009 for $3.3 million that the government made available
under the Treasury Capital Purchase Plan (TARP) which was partially offset
by a Net loss in 2009 of ($563,000) and dividends paid of $146,000 on the
Bank's Preferred TARP Capital.
The Bank's leverage capital ratio of equity to average assets increased
from 10.70% as of December 31, 2008 to 13.16% as of December 31, 2009.
Similarly, the Bank's ratios of tier one capital and total capital at
risk-adjusted assets also increased.
Asset Quality
Management did a comprehensive evaluation of the credit quality in the loan
portfolio during the month of December. This evaluation included receiving
new appraisals on troubled clients and updated cash flow analysis. We are
not pleased with having nonperforming loans of $1,356,000 and past due
loans 30-89 days of $611,217 in the 4th quarter. This was especially
disappointing after having no past due loans and only $993,000 in non
performing loans in the third quarter.
California Oaks State Bank Reports Year End Results
| Source: California Oaks State Bank
THOUSAND OAKS, CA--(Marketwire - February 17, 2010) - California Oaks State Bank (OTCBB : COSB ),
a community business bank with assets of $125.4 million, today reported a
net loss for 2009 of $563,000 or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to a net
loss of $1,088,212 or $0.73 per diluted share in 2008. In addition, the
Bank paid $183,042 or $0.12 per share in dividend and accretion costs as a
result of the TARP funding received by the Bank from the U.S. Treasury in
January, 2009. The loss from operations prior to income taxes for the
year totaled $264,000. The Bank was required to write down its deferred
tax asset by $299,000 at the end of the year. This increased the overall
loss to $563,000.
Total assets ended 2009 at $125.4 million with gross loans and deposits at
$99.6 million and $97.1 million, respectively. Total assets by comparison
from 2008 were $121.4 million with loans and deposits of $107.6 million and
$90.3 million, respectively. The reduction of loans on a year to year
basis totaled $8 million while deposit growth totaled $6.8 million.
The Bank saw its net deposit base increase $6.8 million primarily in core
deposit growth of $10.9 million while certificates of deposits decreased
$4.1 million. FHLB borrowings decreased $5 million in 2009.
The Bank's net interest margin, as a percentage of total average assets for
2009, decreased 91 basis points to 3.98% versus 4.89% in 2008. The Bank's
net interest income fell by $972,000 in 2009 as a result of a decrease in
the prime lending rate late in 2008, which impacted all of 2009.
There has been a concerted effort to reposition the loan portfolio from
riskier construction lending to more typical commercial lending. The Bank
ended the year with a land and construction portfolio totaling $8.5
million. Of this portfolio $54,481 was in an active construction loan, the
remaining amount is in land loans. The Bank worked off the construction
portfolio albeit one construction loan that was on nonaccrual. That loan
totaled $54,481 at the end of 2009 compared with $476,255 at the end of
2008. This loan was subsequently paid off during the first quarter of 2010
generating a small loan recovery of $41,826.
The Bank allocated $686,000 to its loan loss reserves to accommodate the
increased stress in the loan portfolio. During the fourth quarter of 2009,
the Bank saw an increase of past due loans based on continuing economic
problems in the US economy. As of 12/31/09, $1.356 million in loans are
on nonaccrual and are receiving extra management attention. John Nerland,
COSB President & CEO, noted, "We are diligent about problem loan reports
and making sure we are recognizing collateral values in these ever changing
economic conditions. The important issue is that the Bank aggressively
addresses problem loans in a timely manner."
The Bank's capital ratios remain strong with Tier 1 risk based capital at
15.4%. The Bank remains highly capitalized as far as regulatory entities
are concerned, with total risk based capital of 16.7% as the Bank received
3.3 million in TARP funding from the U.S. Treasury Capital Program in
January, 2009.
Nerland noted, "Over the past year the Bank has made numerous improvements
and changes in the way we do business. During the 4th Quarter of 2009, the
Bank was able to renegotiate two key contracts the Bank has with respect to
its rental and data processing expenses which will positively impact the
Bank's operating expenses beginning in 2010. In addition, we have
downsized the number of employees of the Bank in an effort to become more
efficient while increasing the asset size of the Bank. These two
initiatives were not enough to counteract the dropping in rates and the
deterioration of credit quality caused by the down turn in the economy.
Overall our financial results for 2009 are below our expectations, but the
underlying operations of the Bank and the capital that we maintain provide
a solid foundation for which we will continue to grow."
