FPB Financial Corp. Announces 2011 First Quarter Financial Results and Declares Dividends


HAMMOND, LA--(Marketwire - Apr 20, 2011) - FPB Financial Corp. (OTCQB: FPBF) (PINKSHEETS: FPBF), the holding company for Florida Parishes Bank, announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Earnings

The first quarter's net income available to common shareholders was $477,000, a decrease of 11.0%; ($1.30 diluted available earnings per common share) compared to the 2010 first quarter.

Principal items contributing to the Company's first quarter earnings, when compared to the 2010 period; were an $80,000, or 9.5% increase in compensation/employee benefits, a $71,000 decrease in dividends paid/accretion of discount on preferred stock, a $55,000, or 38.3% decrease in provisions for loan losses and a $25,000, or 17.6% increase, in mortgage banking revenue.

First quarter total non-interest expenses increased by $127,000, or 8.5%.

Asset Quality

Non-performing assets at March 31, 2011 increased $24,000, or 0.9% to $2.8 million from $2.8 million as of December 31, 2010. Non-performing assets on March 31, 2010 totaled $1.4 million.

Net loan charge-offs for the 2011 first quarter totaled $23,000, or 0.08% (annualized) of average net loans, down from the $222,000 of net loan charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2010.

FPB recorded a provision for loan losses for the 2011 first quarter of $110,000. The Company's allowance for loan losses was $2.7 million at March 31, 2011, or 2.3% of average net loans, $2.6 million at December 31, 2010, and $2.3 million as of March 31, 2010.

Balance Sheet and Capital

Total assets at March 31, 2011 increased to $179.5 million, or 9.9%, from $169.6 million on March 31, 2010, primarily due to a $27.8 million increase in investments and mortgage-backed securities. Total deposits increased $9.7 million to $133.0 million.

Total stockholders equity decreased $948,000, or 5.8% to $15.4 million for the twelve month period ending March 31, 2011, due to a $2.3 million redemption of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock which was partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in retained earnings. Total tangible common equity increased $1.4 million, or 9.9% to $15.4 million, due to the increase in retained earnings.

Other

The Company has terminated its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") and is in the process of distributing the ESOP account balances to the ESOP participants. At March 31, 2011, the ESOP held 26,808 shares of common stock of the Company, all of which have been allocated to the accounts of ESOP participants. Each ESOP participant can elect to receive the value of his account balance in the form of all stock, all cash or a combination of stock and cash. Those participants who elect cash in lieu of shares of common stock will receive cash equal to $37.71 per share, which is the appraised value of the common stock as determined by an independent third party. Because such value is higher than recent trading prices for the Company's common stock, the Company expects that a substantial percentage of its employees will elect to receive cash rather than shares of common stock, which will result in the Company repurchasing the excess number of shares of common stock at their appraised value.

The Bank's real estate owned includes a property with a carrying value of $250,000 and an appraised value of $325,000 based on commercial zoning. The Bank has received notice from parish officials that the commercial zoning of the property is proposed to be changed to residential zoning based on a lack of continuous use of the property. A recent appraisal of the property obtained by the Bank indicated that the appraised value of the property would decrease to $30,000 if the zoning is changed to residential property, which would result in a substantial write-down of the property by the Bank by over $220,000. A hearing is scheduled to be held in late April, and the Bank believes that it has meritorious defenses to the proposed zoning change. However, there can be no assurances that the property will be able to maintain its commercial zoning or that a substantial write-down in the value of the property can be avoided.

Our subsidiary, Florida Parishes Bank, is considered "well capitalized" by all applicable federal banking regulations and definitions as of March 31, 2011.
