Albemarle First Bank (NASDAQ:AFBK)
Historical Stock Chart
From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
Albemarle First Bank, Charlottesville, Virginia
(NASDAQ:AFBK) reports a net loss of $11 thousand ($0.01 per diluted
share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to net income of
$20 thousand ($0.01 per diluted share) reported for the same period of
2004. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 totaled $20
thousand ($0.01 per diluted share), compared to a $23 thousand ($0.01
per diluted share) for the same period a year ago. The decline in net
income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 was
attributable in large measure to nonrecurring expenses of $72 thousand
in 2005 related to the previously announced planned merger with
Millennium Bankshares Corporation (NASDAQ: MBVA). Income before
merger-related expenses (net of taxes) for the quarter ended June 30,
2005 was $37 thousand ($0.02 per diluted share), compared to $20
thousand ($0.01 per diluted share) for the same period last year.
Income before merger-related expenses (net of taxes) for the six
months ended June 30, 2005 was $68 thousand ($0.04 per diluted share)
compared to $23 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the same
period last year.
Total assets rose to $121.5 million, an increase of 3.34%, over
the $117.6 million reported at June 30, 2004. Net loans have also
increased over the past year, rising 9.21% to $92.3 million at end of
the second quarter in 2005. Total deposits were $101.4 million as of
June 30, 2005, a $4.8 million or 5.16% increase over the $96.6 million
reported at June 30, 2004.
Thomas M. Boyd, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer said,
"Our growth in 2005 has been measured and limited by the amount of
capital our bank has available. However, with the impending merger
with Millennium Bankshares, which we hope will be consummated during
the fourth quarter of 2005, we will have sufficient capital to both
expand our presence with additional branches, and continue the rate of
growth we believe is achievable for Albemarle First Bank in this
market. We will maintain local autonomy by continuing to operate as
Albemarle First Bank, and we will also add new products to our list of
services. We will see our exciting plans become reality."
The Bank recorded a $255 thousand loan loss provision during the
first six months of 2005 bringing the allowance for loan losses to
1.43% of the loan portfolio. This provision was necessary to
adequately reserve for the exposure within the Bank's portfolio of
impaired loans, which were primarily made by the Bank's prior
management team. Management believes that the allowance for loan
losses of $1.3 million as of June 30, 2005 is adequate to absorb
potential losses within the Bank's existing loan portfolio.
Non-accrual loans totaled $2.5 million at June 30, 2005, compared to
$2.3 million a year earlier.
Albemarle First Bank offers a full range of banking and financial
services to individuals, professionals, and small and medium-sized
businesses in the City of Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Greene
County, and the surrounding areas.
