Canyon Bancorp Reports Results for Third Quarter

Canyon Bancorp (OTCBB:CYBA) today announced total assets at September 30, 2008 were $295.4 million and net loans receivable were $253.6 million. Canyon Bancorp incurred a loss of $1,350,000 or $0.54 per diluted share for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to income of $949,000 or $0.37 per diluted share for third quarter of 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Canyon Bancorp incurred a loss of $1,139,000 or $0.46 per diluted share compared to earning $3,098,000 or $1.22 per diluted share for the same period in 2007.

Like many Southern California banks, the Companys earnings were adversely affected by the deterioration in the real estate market. Classified loans and loan charge-offs have increased. As a result, the Company increased the provision for loan losses from $210,000 in the third quarter of 2007 to $3,280,000 in the third quarter of 2008.

Other financial highlights for the third quarter 2008 compared to the same period in 2007:

  • Total assets increased $15.5 million or 5.5 percent to $295.4 million.
  • Net loans receivable increased $13.5 million or 5.6 percent to $253.6 million.
  • Total deposits increased $12.4 million or 5.4 percent to $242.4 million.
  • Capital to assets ratio for the third quarter 2008 was 9.30 percent compared to 9.98 percent for the same period in 2007.

President and CEO Stephen G. Hoffmann said, In this volatile economic climate, Canyon Bancorp and Canyon National Bank maintain Well-Capitalized regulatory ratings and are financially strong. We have responded aggressively to changes in the economy and real estate markets to mitigate risk.
