1st Capital Bank (OTCBB: FISB): 1st Capital Bank, Monterey County's award winning community bank, reported continued growth for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012. The Bank reported an increase in total assets of 31% to $291 million as of March 31, 2012, compared to $222 million for the same quarter one year ago. Total loans grew to $202 million at March 31, 2012, a 10% increase over the same quarter a year ago. The Bank remains focused on growing its loan portfolio while maintaining its high quality. The Bank's asset quality remained strong, with a ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans of just 0.16% as of March 31, 2012, unchanged from a year prior.

Total deposits grew to $258 million, which represents an increase of $66 million, or 34% over the similar quarterly period in 2011. 1st Capital Bank continued to grow its valuable mix of "core" deposits, as demand and savings deposits were 84% of total accounts as of March 31, 2012. This growth in deposits will be used to fund future loan growth and other investments as soon opportunities to prudently do so arise. In the interim, the excess liquidity generated by the growth in deposits will continue to compress the Bank's net interest margin until they are lent out at the higher rates earned by loans. However, they will also continue to add to the overall increase in earning assets and profitability.

1st Capital Bank also reported net income before the provision for income taxes of $537,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to $596,000 for the same period last year. After tax net income of $310,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 decreased $286,000, compared to net income of $596,000 for the same quarter in the previous year, as the Bank recorded a provision for income taxes of $227,000 in the current year compared to none in 2011 due to the accounting applied to taxes by the Bank during its then start-up period. Basic and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.10 and $0.09, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compare to $0.19 and $0.18, respectively, for the first quarter a year ago. Net interest income after the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 increased $550,000 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was offset by an increase in noninterest expenses of $620,000 as the Bank significantly increased the strength of its infrastructure by hiring a number of new staff and by expanding its Monterey branch operating location.

"We are extremely pleased with the Bank's continued growth and performance for the first quarter of 2012," stated President and CEO Fred Rowden. "In 2010 the Bank reached a level of assets which provided for sustained profitability, and in 2011 we continued that growth along with a significant increase in earnings. When the opportunity to invest for future and accelerated growth presented itself, we decided to make that investment with the goal of enhancing long-term profitability for the benefit of our shareholders. This unique opportunity included acquiring proven banking talent which will enable 1st Capital Bank to take advantage of the changes that have occurred in our competitive environment. As with any investment, the cost and expense typically arrives before any potential benefit, and the increase in the Bank's expenses in the 1st quarter reflects this. However, we believe that it is always prudent stewardship to be looking forward, managing to opportunities, and investing for the future," concluded Mr. Rowden.

Financial Summary

Net income of $310,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 decreased $286,000 compared to net income of $596,000 for the same quarter in the previous year, and increased $53,000 over the net income for the trailing quarter ended December 31, 2011. Excluding income tax expense, which was zero in 2011 due to the tax accounting applied to the Bank in its start-up period, income before taxes of $537,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compares to $596,000 for that period in the prior year. Basic and fully diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $0.10 and $0.09, respectively, compared to basic and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.19 and $0.18, respectively, for the same quarter in 2011 and $0.08 for both basic and fully diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

Total assets of $291 million as of March 31, 2012 increased $69 million (31%) from March 31, 2011 and increased $3 million (1%) from December 31, 2011. Loans grew $19 million (10%) from March 31, 2011 to a total of $202 million as of March 31, 2012, with $1.4 million (1%) of that growth occurring in the three-month period from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012. Loan growth was funded largely by deposits, which grew $66 million (35%) from March 31, 2011 to a total of $258 million as of March 31, 2012, and increased by $2.9 million (1%) from the balances outstanding as of December 31, 2011. It is not unusual for the Bank to experience softness in loan and deposit growth during the first quarter of each year as our customers finalize tax returns and work through a period of seasonally reduced credit demand.

Net interest income after the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was $2.7 million, an increase of $550,000 (26%) over the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and an increase of $130,000 (5%) over the trailing quarter ended December 31, 2011.

Interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was $2.9 million, an increase of $272,000 (10%) over the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and a decrease of $20,000 (1%) below the trailing quarter ended December 31, 2011. Average earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 were $269 million, an increase of $58 million (27%) compared to $211 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, and increased $30 million (12%) compared to $240 million for the trailing quarter ended December 31, 2011.

Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was $208,000, a decrease of $45,000 (18%) from the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and an increase of $6,000 (3%) from the trailing quarter ended December 31, 2011. Average interest bearing liabilities for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 were $152 million, an increase of $17 million (13%) compared to $135 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and an increase of $16 million (12%) compared to $136 million for the trailing quarter ended December 31, 2011. While average balances of interest-bearing deposit liabilities as of March 31, 2012 increased compared to March 31, 2011, interest expense decreased due to the repricing of interest-bearing deposits, reflecting the lower interest rate environment. Average noninterest bearing deposits of $95 million grew $42 million (79%) and $14 million (17%) compared to the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

These changes in the composition and pricing of 1st Capital Bank's earning assets and deposit liabilities resulted in a net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 of 4.1% compared to 4.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. This decrease, and the decrease from the 4.5% recorded for the trailing quarter ended December 31, 2011, are consistent with a change in the composition of earning assets as strong growth in the deposit portfolio, which now has an overall cost of just 0.34%, was temporarily deployed into Fed funds sold. During these same measurement periods, the yield on the loan portfolio has remained steady at 5.6% and the Bank continued to reduce overall deposits costs from 0.54% and 0.38% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2011, respectively, to 0.34% for the period ended March 31, 2012.

1st Capital Bank recorded a provision for loan losses of $40,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to $273,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and $196,000 in the trailing quarter ended December 31, 2011. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was 1.67% at March 31, 2012 compared to 1.64% and 1.66% at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Bank's asset quality remained very strong, with a ratio of impaired and nonperforming loans to total loans of just 0.16% as of March 31, 2012. The Bank has never had any real estate acquired through foreclosure.

Noninterest income increased $11,000 (41%) to $38,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and decreased $4,000 (10%) compared to the trailing quarter ended December 31, 2011, largely due to changes in the outstanding balances of non-interest bearing deposits.

Noninterest expenses increased by $620,000 (40%) to $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and increased $29,000 (1%) compared to the trailing quarter ended December 31, 2011. The majority of this increase was due to the overall growth of the Bank and the investment of the Bank in key personnel and enhanced facilities. 1st Capital Bank has added nine new employees within the last twelve months, representing a 20% increase in full-time-equivalent employees, with six of those additions occurring during the last six months. The Bank also moved its Monterey Branch and loan operations into new, larger facilities during the first quarter of 2012.

No tax provision was recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to a provision for income taxes of $227,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
