COMMUNITY BANK OF BERGEN COUNTY, NJ REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2015 NET INCOME OF $0.22 PER SHARE

Community Bank of Bergen County, NJ (OTCBB:CMTB) reported net income for the first quarter of 2015 of $384,000, or $0.22 per diluted share, up $166,000 from a net income of $218,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014.

The increase in net income for the first quarter of this year was attributed to a $200,000 decrease in the loan loss provision over last year ($25,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $225,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014), a $137,000 increase in net interest income ($2.57 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $2.44 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014), a reduction in losses on the sale of OREO properties during the period ($23,000 as compared to $144,000 for the comparable period), and lower other non-interest expense primarily due to $165,000 less in write-downs of OREO properties due to higher current market values this quarter over the same quarter last year. These positive variances in net income were partially offset by a $125,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits largely due to customary annual increases, and a $22,000 decrease in service charge income on deposit accounts. Additionally, a $248,000 net gain from the sale of investment securities was recorded for the first quarter of 2014 compared to no such gain in 2015.

In the first quarter of this year, CBBC had interest income that was $128,000 higher than the first quarter of 2014 – a result of increased outstanding loan balances from last year ($227,203,000 at March 31, 2014 versus $201,099,000 at March 31, 2014), mitigated by overall reduced market rates. Corresponding savings in interest expense ($18,000 less in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014) was attributed to lower average rates on our interest bearing deposits (which increased to $215,494,000 at March 31, 2015 from $206,131,000 at December 31, 2014), partially offset by $9,000 in increased interest cost as our borrowings increased to $5,000,000 from $3,000,000 at December 31, 2014 to fund our loan growth.

“We continue to generate stable operating earnings and smart balance sheet growth,” stated Peter A. Michelotti, President & CEO. He continued, “We are however, very disappointed that our non-accrual loan balances increased drastically this quarter. The majority of the increase is related to one loan that became seriously delinquent in the first quarter of 2015. This particular loan was previously marked as a troubled debt due to a pending court case against the borrowers for financial fraud. The couple pleaded guilty to tax fraud in 2014 and was sentenced to jail time. One of the borrowers started serving jail time in January 2015, at which time they ceased paying our mortgage obligation. It is to be noted that CBBC was a victim of the fraud when this loan was originated. We believe that the collateral value will be enough to satisfy the full principal balance upon completion of the foreclosure.”

The Bank’s total assets increased by $3,449,000 from December 31, 2014 and by $13,498,000 from March 31, 2014 mainly due to increases in loans of $4,465,000 and $26,104,000, respectively, resulting from the Bank’s concerted marketing efforts. The Bank is continuing to mitigate its high level of problem loans with a diligent work out process. Except for the $1,411,000 loan to the borrowers mentioned above, the expected resolution of four other loans totaling approximately $849,000 will continue to reduce non-accrual assets during the second quarter of this year. Our non-accrual assets were $7,954,000 at this quarter ended March 31, 2015, $1,785,000 higher than at December 31, 2014 and $1,463,000 higher than at March 31, 2014.

“Despite the increased non-accrual loans this quarter, our outlook continues to be positive, and we expect steady and sustained growth in 2015,” said Peter A. Michelotti, President and CEO of CBBC.

This quarter, the Bank’s capital ratios reflect the new BASEL III rules and may not be comparable to the ratios reported last year. The Bank remains “well capitalized” under all applicable regulatory requirements. The Bank’s capital closed this quarter at $26,771,000, up from the $26,246,000 reported at December 31, 2014, with book value per share at $15.35 as compared to $15.05 at December 31, 2014.
