New Resource Bank Reports First Quarter 2013 Financial Results

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- New Resource Bank (OTCBB: NWBN) has announced unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

The bank recorded net income of $187,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared with a net loss of $56,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.


The bank experienced double-digit growth in both loans outstanding and deposits compared with the first quarter last year. At the same time, credit quality continued to improve.

"We are very pleased with the progress we've made in improving the portfolio credit quality," said Vince Siciliano, New Resource president and chief executive officer. "Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets decreased substantially year over year, and our Texas ratio, which measures the level of non-performing assets as a percentage of capital, improved from 24.6 percent to 6.5 percent in the same period."

Key financial results from the quarter included:

  • Loan growth: Loans outstanding grew 17.3 percent, to $136.0 million from $115.9 million a year ago.

  • Asset quality: Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans dropped from 5.08 percent at March 31, 2012, to 1.48 percent at March 31, 2013.

  • Deposits: Deposits rose 23.9 percent, to $178.5 million from $144.1 million at March 31, 2012.

  • Total assets: Total assets increased 20.6 percent, to $208.3 million from $172.6 million at March 31, 2012.

  • Non-performing assets to total assets: Non-performing assets to total assets decreased from 4.14 percent to 0.97 percent.

  • Non-interest expense: At $2.0 million, non-interest expense remained essentially unchanged from the same period in 2012.

"Earnings for the quarter reflect significant improvement over the same quarter last year," noted Mark A. Finser, chairman of the New Resource board. "We're very pleased with how we've strengthened our business, given the still challenging economic environment and a federal low-interest rate monetary policy that continues to compress bank margins. These conditions remain an inhibiting factor in our ability to grow."
