WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Abigail Adams National Bancorp, Inc., (Nasdaq: AANB), the parent holding company of The Adams National Bank, Washington, DC , and Consolidated Bank & Trust, Richmond , VA, reported third quarter earnings of $715 thousand . This 23.8% decrease from the $938 thousand earned in the third quarter of 2004 is due primarily to the one-time expense for the payment due under our former affiliate CEO's employment contract. The company's net interest margin for the third quarter increased to 5.24% from 5.22% for the same period in 2004.

Net income for the first nine months of 2005, however, held steady at $2.6 million with only a $6 thousand decrease from the same period in 2004. Diluted earnings per share for this period in 2005 are $0.77 down $0.01 , mainly because of the one-time payment to the former affiliate CEO. Nine- month 2005 earnings represent a 1.27% annualized return on average assets and a 13.23% annualized return on average equity.

At September 30, 2005 total deposits increased 42.6% to $288 million from $202 million and loans grew 40.5% to $236 million from $168 million , compared to September 30, 2004 . The allowance for loan losses at the end of the third quarter was $4.3 million or 1.82% of total loans. Nonperforming assets improved to 0.26% of total assets at the quarter end compared to 1.09% at the same time last year.

Jeanne D. Hubbard, President and CEO, said, 'The core results for the company continue to be solid and the one-time expense for the payment due under our former affiliate CEO's employment contract is now behind the company. We are ready to take advantage of the opportunities in our metropolitan DC market and our new markets of Richmond and Hampton, VA. We welcome our new employees, shareholders and customers at Consolidated Bank &Trust and look forward to our future together.'
