Bay Commercial Bank Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bay Commercial Bank (OTCBB:BCML) (the "Bank") today announced its third quarter 2012 operating results.

The Bank reported total assets as of September 30, 2012 of $316.5 million including loans outstanding of $235.5 million compared to September 30, 2011 total assets of $188.0 million and total loans outstanding of $157.4 million. At September 30, 2012, total deposits were $263.1 million compared to total deposits of $153.4 million at September 30, 2011. The Bank's net operating income for the third quarter 2012 was $742,000 or $0.15 per share compared to net income for the same period in 2011 of $316,000, or $0.09 per share. The increase in net operating income for the third quarter 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was comprised primarily of higher net interest margin and other non-interest revenue partially offset by operating expenses and income tax expenses.


For the first nine months of 2012, the Bank reported net income of $1,531,000 compared to net income of $512,000 for the first nine months of 2011. For the most recent nine month period, the net income to shareholders was $0.32 per share, compared to $0.14 per share for the first nine months of 2011. The increase in operating income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 was primarily the result of higher net interest margin partially offset by higher operating costs and income tax expense in 2012.

George J. Guarini, Chief Executive Officer of the Bank, stated "While we are pleased with our core operating performance, we remain steadfast in our belief that banks must be larger in order to remain relevant. We therefore are guided by a two pronged approach, one focused on organic growth and the other emphasizing growth through mergers and acquisitions. Our merger with Global Trust Bank is in our rear view mirror and enhanced the viability and value of the combined franchise. We look forward to more of the same."

Guarini further stated the following, "It is clear that margin compression is in full swing. We believe that a continued focus on earnings, capital, efficiency and culture are important ingredients to growing a successful franchise."
