Albina Community Bancorp Reports Solid Year-Over-Year Loan and Deposit Growth in 2Q08 PORTLAND, Ore., July 31, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Albina
Community Bancorp (OTC BB:ACBC.OB - News), Portland's only certified
community development bank, today reported it increased
its loans 24% and increased deposits 16% over the past year,
generating solid revenue growth for the second quarter and
first six months of 2008. Higher loan loss reserves, reflecting
a few large, well-secured loans that are not performing
as expected, contributed to a $562,000, or $0.52 per share
net loss in the second quarter, compared to net income of
$66,000, or $0.06 per share in the second quarter of 2007.
Second quarter results were also impacted by the reversal
of accrued interest from non performing assets of approximately
$80,000. Year-to-date, Albina has added $2.1 million to
reserves, contributing to a net loss of $972,000, or $0.91
per share, compared to net income of $106,000, or $0.10
per share, in the first six months of 2007. ``We are experiencing the same economic headwinds that are affecting the nation, although at a lesser degree than many other regions,'' stated Bob McKean, president and chief executive officer. ``Because our banking business is focused on the urban core of the greater Portland market, which is well served by transit and bike routes, we are seeing housing prices remain relatively strong in these submarkets, compared to some suburban neighborhoods where commuting costs are a more important factor for home buyers. While it is still too early to call a recovery, May housing sales increased 17.8% from April although were still down 31% from last year's strong market performance. The homes for sale inventory levels have also started to drop, with May inventories falling 12.1% year-over-year and down 2.1% from the prior month. ``With the continuing softness in the national and regional economies and the increase in non-accrual assets, we increased our allowance for loan losses to 2.14% of total loans,'' McKean continued. ``We have two lending relationships for three loans that have been placed on non-accrual that include two land development projects and one commercial building. Both borrowers have personal guarantees supporting these loans, and we are working with our customers to resolve the issues surrounding these loans.'' Second Quarter 2008 Financial Highlights: (for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared with June 30, 2007)
* Revenues increased 13% to $2.1 million from $1.9 million.
* Net loans increased 24% to $151.3 million from $121.8 million.
* Total assets rose 27% to $198.7 million from $155.9 million.
* Deposits increased 16% to $145.8 million from $125.8 million.
* Albina remains "Well-Capitalized:" Capital ratios remained well
above the regulatory guidance for the holding company and our
subsidiary bank.
* Net interest margin increased 5 basis points to 3.86% from the
immediate prior quarter but was down 49 basis points from the
second quarter a year ago.
* Allowance for loan losses increased to $3.3 million, or 2.14% of
total loans.
Balance Sheet Results Total assets grew 27% to $198.7 million at June 30, 2008, compared with $155.9 million at June 30, 2007. Capital ratios remained well above the regulatory guidance for the holding company. Capital ratios for our subsidiary bank exceed regulatory definitions for ``Well-Capitalized'' banks with Tier 1 leverage at 8.3%, Tier 1 risked based at 9.4% and Total risked based capital at 10.7%. Loans, net of reserves, increased 26% from a year ago to $151.3 million. Loan originated by Albina increased 34% to $117.0 million compared to $87.4 million a year ago. Commercial and consumer loan participations, which provide diversification for the portfolio and additional earnings, account for approximately 24% of the portfolio and were up 5% year over year. ``Our loan portfolio remains well diversified by category, and we have limited exposure to any one single loan type,'' said Jim Schlotfeldt, chief financial officer. ``Real estate construction, which has been hard hit by the economic downturn this year, accounts for 16% of our loan portfolio, or $25.4 million. Two of the land development loans which we referenced last quarter as a concern moved into nonaccrual status this quarter. The two development projects totaling $1.8 million are for a total of 45 lots, all of which are priced for entry level and moderate income buyers. While the current appraised value of the land itself is lower than the amount owed, we have additional guarantees from the borrower and are working closely with the developer to bring the loans current. We are also seeing some developers shift condominium projects to leased apartment homes to capitalize on the low rental vacancy rates in the area.''

Nonperforming assets increased in the quarter to $4.0 million, or 2.60% of total loans, from $2.5 million at March 31, 2008 and $334,000 a year ago. In addition to the two land development loans discussed above, the other significant nonaccrual loans is for $1.9 million that is secured by a first deed on a newly renovated mixed use commercial building. ``Our first lien position remains at a loan-to-current-market value of 42%, and we are continuing to negotiate with the borrower. As usual a resolution will take time, but the outlook for a positive outcome remains strong,'' said Schlotfeldt. Albina increased its allowance for loan losses to $3.3 million, representing a reserve-to-loan ratio of 2.14%, compared with $1.3 million, or 1.09% of loans at June 30, 2007. Net loan charge-offs for the second quarter of 2008 were $136,000, or 0.09% of average loans, versus 46,000, or .04% of average loans, in the second quarter of 2007.

The ratio of loans to deposits at June 30, 2008 was 103.78% compared with 96.79% at June 30, 2007. Shareholder equity at June 30, 2008, totaled $12.5 million, or $9.36 per share, compared to $12.5 million, or $9.68 per share, a year ago.

For the second quarter of 2008, net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, increased 19% to $1.8 million from $1.5 million in the same quarter last year.

After a $2.0 million provision for loan losses, year-to-date net interest income totaled $1.4 million compared to $2.7 million a year ago. Net interest margin in the second quarter began to recover from the recent drop in short-term interest rates that occurred in the last year. In addition, the reversal of accrued interest from non-performing assets reduced interest income by $81,000, or 18 basis points, in the quarter and $173,000, or 19 basis points, year to date. Second quarter net interest margin was 3.86%, compared to 3.81% in the immediate prior quarter and 4.35% in the second quarter of 2007. Non-interest expense for the second quarter grew 3% to $1.8 million compared with $1.7 million for the same quarter of 2007, reflecting increased staffing needs and overhead costs to support the growth of the bank.
