For Immediate Release August 3, 2007
Robert F. Baronner Jr. President and CEO of Potomac Bancshares, Inc. announced the following unaudited results for the second quarter of 2007.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, Potomac Bancshares, Inc. earned $1,103,000, diluted earnings of $0.32 per share, as compared to $1,186,000, diluted earnings of $0.34, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Potomac Bancshares, Inc. earned $2,048,000, diluted earnings of $0.59 per share, as compared to $2,124,000, diluted earnings of $0.61 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The results for both the second quarter and first half of 2007 are down compared to the comparable periods for 2006. The following may put the results in perspective as well as offer some insights on the future prospects for the company.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the company incurred a one time expense due to settlement of litigation associated with customer fraud. If the bank had not incurred this one time expense, earnings for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 would have exceeded the results for the comparable periods for 2006. Moreover, the earnings so far in 2007 have been made in a very challenging environment to include a continued inverted yield curve, a volatile real estate market, and a very competitive deposit market. Loans are down on a quarter to quarter basis due to demand and as the result of some large payoffs in the commercial portfolio. As a result of reduced loan demand, the bank let some high priced funding roll off of the books in an effort to maintain our net interest margin.
The Board of Directors has approved a dividend of $0.105 per share to be paid on September 1, 2007 to shareholders of record on August 15, 2007. This increased dividend represents the eighteenth consecutive increase in the dividend since the company began paying them on a quarterly basis in 2003. Recently 23,583 shares of Potomac Bancshares, Inc. common stock were repurchased at $15.50 per share. The price paid for the stock represents good long term value for the remaining shareholders given that book value was $8.17 at June 30, 2007.
