Liberty Bell Bank (Nasdaq:LBBB) today announced that results of
operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 improved 102% over
the second quarter 2006. The bank reported a net profit of $11,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a net loss of
$437,000 for the same period in 2006. On a year to date basis, the
bank reported earnings for the first six months of 2007 of $25,000,
an improvement of $831,000 or 103% when compared to the loss of
$806,000 for the same period in 2006. Highlights for the second
quarter include: Net interest margin for the quarter was 3.30%, an
increase of 7 basis points over the previous quarter and 42 basis
points over the second quarter of 2006. Total loans reached $82
million, up 6% over year-end 2006 and an increase of $16 million or
24% over June 30, 2006. Net interest income, before provision for
possible loan losses, increased $209,000 or 31% to $880,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to net interest
income of $671,000 for the comparable prior year period. Total
assets were $115.5 million at June 30, 2007, up $6.8 million or 6%
over December 31, 2006. We believe asset quality remains strong
with no adversely classified credits and one insignificant ($8,000)
loan balance past due 90 days or more. �Our loan pipeline remains
strong and we�re experiencing a noticeable increase in activity at
our branches as we gain recognition in our market areas. Perhaps
some is attributable to displacement occurring in our market with
the coming merger of a fairly large local commercial bank into a
Pennsylvania based bank, and possibly even some due to recent
negative developments at a large locally based regional
institution,� stated Kevin Kutcher, President and CEO. Chairman of
the Board William C. Dunkelberg added, �In the face of a
challenging interest rate environment, we are particularly pleased
that our margin continues to improve. Our loan portfolio yield is
increasing with our growing loan portfolio, and our deposit mix is
improving with core deposit growth in the form of increasing
checking account based relationships, which help contain our
overall cost of funds.� Liberty Bell Bank is a New Jersey chartered
