FPB Financial Corp. Announces Record Earnings, 2008 First Quarter Earnings and Declares Dividends


HAMMOND, LA--(Marketwire - April 21, 2008) - FPB Financial Corp. (PINKSHEETS: FPBF), the holding company for Florida Parishes Bank, announced record earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $408,000; ($1.15 per diluted common share), up 43.7% from $284,000; ($1.01 per diluted common share) for the 2007 comparable period. Earnings were positively affected by an increase of $361,000, or 30.2% in net interest income, a decrease of $120,000, or 80% in provisions for loan losses and a $55,000 increase, or 11.0% in non-interest income for the quarter ending March 31, 2008.

The increased net interest income was due to increases in interest earning assets and an increase in net interest margin. The decrease in provisions for loan losses was primarily due to the Company exceeding our internal matrix calculation on allowance for loan losses. The increase in non-interest income for the quarter was due to a $30,000 gain on investment trading accounts, a 40% increase in Premium Finance revenue, and an increase of 30.4% on interchange fees. Earnings were adversely affected by a 31.3% increase for the quarter in non-interest expenses, primarily compensation and occupancy expenses.

Stockholders equity increased 40.9%, compared to March 31, 2007, primarily due to the issuance of 69,530 shares of common stock at $38.00 per share in a private placement offering which closed April 30, 2007.
