Mark D. Mordell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The
Bank's efforts to build lending infrastructure by increasing loan
production staff and facilities yielded positive results in the second
quarter of 2014. Loans outstanding increased more than $23 million in
the quarter, the largest quarterly loan growth in the Bank's history.
These results confirm our progress as we focus on our plan of sustained
and prudent growth in our loan portfolio. Net income for the second
quarter of 2014 grew by 71% over the first quarter of 2014 primarily due
to higher loans outstanding. We will continue with our plan to grow our
loan portfolio and leverage the investments in personnel and
infrastructure we have made. Our Corporate Finance division, which
includes asset-based and technology lending, has demonstrated solid
growth in 2014."
"The Bank's total deposits increased by $4.5 million in the second
quarter of 2014, in spite of the fact that we continue to reduce our
cost of funds. In addition, core deposits make up over 90% of total
deposits and our non-interest bearing deposits have grown to over 40% of
total deposits," noted Mr. Mordell. "We have expanded the size of our
San Jose loan production office and are very excited about the potential
of that market. We have added experienced loan officers in both Palo
Alto and San Jose. Our high level of capital and the high quality of our
loan portfolio provide us with ample capacity for growth.”
Results for the six months ended June 30, 2014
Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $7.8 million in
2014, an increase of $108,000 or 1.4% over the prior year. Higher
outstanding loan balances and reductions in the rates paid on deposits
were offset by lower loan yields. Average earning assets were $442
million in 2014, a 10% increase over the prior year. Net interest margin
was 3.62% for 2014, compared to 3.88% in 2013. The decline in net
interest margin was primarily caused by a decline in loan yields due to
the current interest rate environment and a change in the mix of earning
assets due to a significant increase in liquid funds. No loan loss
provision was recorded in the first six months of either 2014 or 2013.
We have experienced net recoveries of $21,000 in 2014 compared to net
recoveries of $285,000 in 2013. Non-accrual loans totaled $2.3 million
or 0.8% of total loans on June 30, 2014 compared to $2.0 million or 0.8%
of total loans for the previous year-end. "Our high credit standards
have led to a low level of problem loans and to net recoveries in 2014
and 2013," observed Mr. Mordell.
Non-interest income, excluding gains on sales of securities, was
$608,000 in the first six months of 2014, an increase of $324,000 or
114% over 2013. The increase in non-interest income was due to an
increase in service charges and other fee generation activities as well
as an increase in earnings on bank owned life insurance. There were no
gains on sales of securities in 2014 and $681,000 of gains on securities
sales in 2013.
Non-interest expense grew by $374,000 or 6% in the first six months of
2014 to $6.5 million compared to $6.2 million in 2013. This growth was
due to investments in loan production personnel and facilities as we
continue to expand our footprint and grow our loan portfolio.
Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, net interest income before
provision for loan losses was $4.2 million, an increase of $338,000 or
9% compared to the second quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily
the result of higher average loans outstanding. Average earning assets
were $429 million in the second quarter of 2014, a 7% increase over the
second quarter of the prior year. Earning assets increased due to growth
in the loan portfolio. Net interest margin was 3.98% for the second
quarter of 2014, compared to 3.82% for the second quarter of 2013. Net
interest margin increased due to growth in loans for the quarter and
prepayment penalties on early payoffs. No loan loss provision was taken
in the second quarter of 2014 or in the second quarter of 2013.
Non-interest income, excluding gains on sales of securities, was
$330,000 in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $171,000 or 108%
over the second quarter of 2013. The increase was due to increases in
service charges and other fee generation activities as well as an
increase in earnings on bank owned life insurance. There were no gains
on sales of securities in the second quarter of 2014 and $681,000 of
gains on securities sales in the second quarter of 2013.
Non-interest expense grew by $240,000 in the second quarter of 2014 to
$3.3 million compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2013.
This growth was due to the investments in loan production personnel and
facilities mentioned previously.
