Potomac Bancshares, Inc. Releases Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2014 Results
PR Newswire - Thu Jan 29, 10:02AM CST
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, Potomac Bancshares Inc. (OTC-QB: PTBS) earned $608 thousand or 18 cents per share compared to $554 thousand or 16 cents a share for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, an improvement of 10%. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2014, the company earned $2.16 million or 64 cents per share compared to earnings of $2.33 million or 69 cents per share for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of 7.3%. There are several reasons for the decline in earnings. First, there was an increase in the loan loss provision of $1.1 million in 2014 compared to 2013. The majority of this provision was set aside for a loan that was put on non-accrual status during the third quarter of 2014. The remainder of the provision was allocated to the reserve based on the growth in loans experienced in 2014 compared to 2013 of $25.1 million or 11%. The second reason for the decline, which was anticipated, was due to the incremental expenses incurred with the expansion into the Hagerstown, Maryland market. As outlined in previous communications, we have exceeded projections at both the Hagerstown and Middleburg, Virginia locations in 2014 and expect the two offices to positively contribute to the bottom line in 2015. To fund the aforementioned loan growth in 2014, we were able to grow deposits $18.2 million or 7% during 2014.

PR Newswire - Fri Jul 18, 3:25PM CDT
Robert F. Baronner Jr., President and CEO, of Potomac Bancshares, Inc., (OTC-QB: PTBS), the One Bank Holding Company for Bank of Charles Town, announced its quarterly results for the period ending June 30, 2014. The Charles Town, West Virginia based company earned $648 thousand or 19 cents per share compared to net income of $588 thousand or 17 cents a share for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The improvement in income as compared to the same quarter last year is due to growth in both the commercial and mortgage loan portfolios and better overall net interest margins. Income through the first six months of 2014 is $995 thousand or 29 cents per share compared to $1.154 million or 34 cents per share for the first six months of 2013. Baronner said, "Credit conditions continue to improve and real estate values are beginning to show some appreciation in the Eastern Panhandle which is our primary market. Mortgage volume has shifted from primarily refinances to new construction and purchases, which is a good sign that the real estate economy is improving." Baronner added, "Most of our commercial loan growth over the last year continues to come from our two new offices in Middleburg, Virginia and Hagerstown, Maryland."
