WASHINGTON, July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Abigail Adams National Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:AANB) announced today that net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $788,000, or $0.23 per diluted share. Net income for the same period in 2005 was $944,000 or $0.28 per diluted share. The return on average assets for the second quarter 2006 was 0.87% and the return on average equity was 11.16%, compared to 1.47% and 14.90%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2005. The results of operations for Consolidated Bank and Trust ("CBT") are included subsequent to the close of business on July 29, 2005 and, therefore, included in the 2006 quarterly numbers.
The net income for the first six months ended June 30, 2006 was $1.4 million or $0.42 per diluted share, a decrease compared to the $1.9 million or $0.56 per diluted share reported for the same period in 2005. The return on average equity was 10.27% and the return on average assets was 0.81% for 2006, as compared to 14.92% and 1.49% reported in 2005, respectively.
Jeanne D. Hubbard, President and CEO of Abigail Adams National Bancorp and its primary subsidiary, The Adams National Bank, commented, "The decision to maintain Consolidated Bank & Trust as a separate bank should have significant long term benefits for the company that will negate the short term impact to earnings due to operating it as an affiliate bank under a separate charter. CBT is celebrating its 103rd birthday this month and thus has a long tradition of serving the banking needs of its communities. Such a rich and notable tradition and history should prove to be a strength in the future for our company and provide an excellent opportunity for growth and additional profitability." Due to a 41.0% increase in average earning assets (with CBT contributing 72.5% of the growth, and the rising interest rate environment), net interest income for the second quarter of 2006 increased 26.3% to $4.0 million, compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2005. This increase was offset by the decrease in the overall net interest margin to 4.61%, compared to 5.15% reported for the same period in 2005.
For the first six months ended June 30, 2006, net interest income increased 25.0% to $7.8 million, compared to $6.3 million for the same period in 2005. The increase was due to a 42.7% growth in the Company's loan portfolio. Average loans increased $78.0 million, with the CBT acquisition contributing 53.5% of the year-over-year loan growth. The net interest margin was 4.67% for the period ended June 30, 2006, down from the 5.26% reported for the same period in 2005. The decline was due to a competitive environment for deposits and loans, and the pressure of a flat yield curve on repricing assets and deposits.
The Company's assets totaled $372.1 million at June 30, 2006, an increase of $114.3 million or 44.3%, compared to assets at June 30, 2005. The CBT acquisition contributed 70.8% of the year-over-year asset growth. Loans increased $81.6 million from June 30, 2005. Loan growth was driven by growth in the construction, commercial and commercial real estate markets in the Company's locations.
The Company's asset quality remains strong. Nonperforming loans and OREO totaled $1.7 million or 0.61% of period end loans and OREO, an increase from 0.29% at June 30, 2005. Approximately 43.5% of the nonperforming loans are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. The allowance for loan losses was $4.7 million at June 30, 2006, representing 1.71% of total loans, compared to 1.42% at June 30, 2005. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total assets was 0.45%, an increase from 0.22% reported at June 30, 2005. Net recoveries for the year were $203,000. The provision for loan losses was $125,000 for 2006, compared to $100,000 for 2005.
Deposits totaled $303.5 million at June 30, 2006, an increase of $81.5 million, or 36.7%, compared to the same period in 2005. The CBT acquisition contributed approximately 88.4% of the growth in deposits. Wholesale borrowings increased to $27.1 million and were used to fund the asset growth in 2006. Long term debt was $10.8 million, compared to $6.7 million, as a result of the note used to fund the capital infusion to CBT in 2005.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2006 was $545,000, compared to $502,000 for the same period in 2005. The gain on sale of loans in the second quarter was $153,000, compared to $159,000 in the second quarter of 2005.
Noninterest income for the period ended June 30, 2006 was $1.0 million, compared to $930,000 for the same period in 2005. The gain on sale of loans in 2006 was $181,000, compared to $192,000 for the same period in 2005.
Noninterest expense was $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2005, a 53.5% increase. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to the acquisition of CBT, which added an additional $936,000 for the quarter.
Noninterest expense was $6.4 million for the period ended June 30, 2006, compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2005, a 58.7% increase. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to the acquisition of CBT, which added an additional $1.9 million in 2006. At June 30, 2006, the Company had approximately 107 full-time equivalent employees, compared to 70 at June 30, 2005. The Banks had nine branch locations at June 30, 2006, compared to six at June 30, 2005.
Jeanne Hubbard commented, "The current marketplace with rising interest rates, flat yield curves and great competition for loans and deposits by all players both old and newcomers, has certainly had a negative impact on our earnings. We are able to compete due to our dedicated employees, our commitment to provide superior service and products, and our vigilant attention to expense control and credit quality. We plan to continue our steady growth and our effective risk management practices to stay competitive and profitable." Abigail Adams National Bancorp, Inc. declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per common share paid on June 30, 2006 to shareholders of record on June 15, 2006.
