MCKENNEY, Va., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bank of McKenney (Nasdaq: BOMK) today announced third quarter earnings of $276,000 , a decrease of 15.34% over 2005 third quarter earnings of $326,000 . Basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.14 were reported for the three months ended September 30, 2006 on 1,926,656 weighted average shares outstanding. This compares to prior year third quarter earnings per basic and diluted share of $0.17 on an equal number of weighted average shares outstanding. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 , the Bank reported earnings of $907,000 , a decrease of 6.01% when compared to $965,000 through the first nine months of 2005. For the first three quarters of 2006 and 2005, earnings per basic and diluted share of $0.47 and $0.50 , respectively, were recorded. Annualized returns on average assets and average equity for the first nine months of 2006 were 0.82% and 7.39%, respectively, compared to 0.94% and 8.17%, respectively, for the same period in 2005. As noted after the close of the second quarter, higher deposit rates throughout the market area continue to cause near-term margin pressure. Management, perceiving the current tightening cycle to be nearing its end, opted to liquidate certain investment holdings with shorter- term remaining maturities to extend out into the five to seven year segment of the yield curve. This too added to the decline in earnings for the quarter; however, future rewards through significantly higher fixed rates warranted the moves.
At the end of the third quarter, total assets were $149.8 million , representing a $7.6 million or 5.34% increase over the December 31, 2005 level of $142.2 million . Total deposits amounted to $117.5 million as of September 30, 2006 , which represents a 6.14% increase from the $110.7 million level as of December 31, 2005 . During the same period, total loans expanded by 8.06% or $7.6 million to the September 30, 2006 balance of $101.9 million . On an annualized basis, loans and deposits grew during the first nine months of 2006 at a rate of 10.75% and 8.19%, respectively. At September 30, 2006 , the investment portfolio had grown $3.2 million to $29.5 million as management began realigning the portfolio into more medium-term, higher-yielding positions. Overnight federal funds sold decreased accordingly 54.76% from $4.2 million on December 31, 2005 to $1.9 million on September 30, 2006 . Cumulatively, earning assets grew $8.5 million for the first nine months or 9.08% on an annualized basis and represent 88.99% of total assets.
Net interest income increased 2.70% to $1,447,000 in the third quarter of 2006 from $1,409,000 in the comparable period in 2005. Noninterest income, exclusive of securities transactions, decreased 9.22% from $412,000 in the third quarter of 2005 to $374,000 for the same period in 2006. Service charges grew slightly by 0.53% during the period to $188,000 when compared to the September 30, 2005 level of $187,000 . Both the appraisal department and secondary market mortgage department slowed during the third quarter and contributed to the decline in other noninterest income of $30,000 or 16.13% to $156,000 . Noninterest expense increased 4.56% to $1,399,000 during the third quarter 2006 from $1,338,000 for the same period in 2005, due primarily to additional expenses associated with the Bank's growth and promotional efforts regarding the 100th anniversary. For the first nine months of 2006, net interest income increased to $4,306,000 from $4,182,000 in the comparable period in 2005, an increase of $124,000 or 2.97%. For the same period, noninterest income, exclusive of securities transactions, decreased slightly or 0.64% from $1,098,000 in 2005 to $1,091,000 in 2006. Service charges climbed 2.25% during the first nine months to $546,000 when compared to the September 30, 2005 level of $534,000 . Other noninterest income declined by $15,000 , or 3.18%, from $472,000 in 2005 to $457,000 in 2006. Noninterest expense increased 5.26% to $4,045,000 during the first three quarters of 2006 from $3,843,000 for the same period in 2005. The net interest margin stood at a level of 4.40% at the 2006 third quarter close, a 20 basis point decline from the same period in 2005. The margin was pushed lower during the third quarter as result of local deposit rates growth during recent quarters increasing the Bank's cost of funds. This impact is expected to fully negate itself as the balance of the asset re-pricing cycle completes over the next twelve to eighteen months.
Richard M. Liles, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, 'The higher deposit rates commanded by our local markets have lowered earnings during the second and third quarter. These pressures are beginning to ease with the recent pauses by the Federal Reserve, signaling a possible end to the recent tightening cycle, and our investing and lending strategies continue to be focused on prudent rate risk policies designed to ensure that margin pressures, when encountered, remain temporary. We are very pleased with the quarterly and year-to-date results.'
