April 17 2006 - 9:00AM
PR Newswire (US)
DURHAM, N.C., April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cardinal State
Bank (NASDAQ:CSNC), a North Carolina state chartered bank
headquartered in Durham, North Carolina, announced today that its
net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006 totaled
$77,000, compared to net income of $206,000 for the first quarter
of 2005. The difference in the year-to-year comparison is due to
strong loan growth during the first quarter of 2006, which led to a
loan loss provision of $245,000, compared to a provision of $49,000
for the first quarter of 2005, an increase of $196,000. Excluding
the required provision for loan losses and expense for stock
options, Cardinal State Bank's net income for the first quarter of
2006 was $399,000, compared to net income of $255,000 for the first
quarter of 2005, an increase of 56.5%. Total assets as of March 31,
2006 were $171.6 million, compared to $142.2 million at March 31,
2005, an increase of $29.4 million or 20.7%. Similar gains were
experienced in loans and deposits. Total loans were $149.6 million,
an increase of $39.6 million or 36.0%, over the $110.0 million
reported for the same period in 2005. Total deposits were $144.5
million, an increase of $28.6 million or 24.7% over first quarter
2005 deposits of $115.9 million. "The story for our Bank during the
first quarter of 2006 is strong loan growth," said John W. Mallard,
Jr., President and CEO of Cardinal State Bank. "Under the
leadership of Steve Anderson, our commercial lending officers are
doing a great job of developing relationships and growing our loan
portfolio without sacrificing quality. The impact this has had on
our net income for the quarter is a trade-off we can live with as
we continue to grow. These loans will provide positive income in
subsequent quarters. It is important to note that the provision is
simply a safeguard, as our loan quality continues to be
exceptional." To a lesser extent, net income for the first quarter
of 2006 was impacted by accounting for stock options. Under new
accounting guidelines, we began to expense stock options on January
1, 2006. The impact on net income in the first quarter of 2006 was
$77,000 in additional expense. Cardinal State Bank is a
