Premier Commercial Bancorp Announces 2011 Earnings
(firmenpresse) - ANAHEIM, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/01/12 -- Premier Commercial Bancorp (OTCBB: PCBP), parent company of Premier Commercial Bank, N.A., reported consolidated earnings for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $413,000, compared to net income of $607,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Premier Commercial Bank Chairman and CEO Kenneth J. Cosgrove stated, "As previously reported, on December 9, 2011 California United Bank and Premier Commercial Bancorp announced the execution of a Definitive Agreement of Merger. Progress towards the combination of the two organizations is proceeding quite well and is on schedule. The transaction is expected to close near the end of the second quarter of this year. Reported earnings for the year were impacted when Premier Commercial Bancorp settled litigation relating to a lease obligation of a former subsidiary and the Board of Directors determined to expense the full amount of settlement payments in 2011. Excluding extraordinary and merger related expenses, core profitability was very good in 2011 and the Bank is well positioned for 2012. The PCB family anxiously awaits the successful assimilation with California United Bank."
As of December 31, 2011, on a consolidated basis, total assets were $451 million, a 4.2% increase from $433 million for the same period last year; total deposits were up 6.4% to $388 million as compared to $365 million at December 31, 2010. Net loans were reported at $307 million at December 31, 2011, up slightly from the same period last year. Shareholders' equity at December 31, 2011 was reported at $40.5 million, reflecting a well capitalized position per regulatory guidelines along with a Total Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) ratio of 16.0%.
Premier Commercial Bank President and COO Ash Patel indicated, "Since our announcement of the merger with California United Bank, the focus has been on appropriately melding the two banks together. We recognize the significant value of consolidation and that has been reinforced by client feedback as they look forward to expanded services while continuing to bank with their existing relationship manager. We anticipate the transition to be seamless."
