Bank of Commerce Holdings(TM) Announces Second Quarter 2007 Operating Results

REDDING, Calif., July 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bank of Commerce Holdings (NASDAQ:BOCH), a $605.6 million asset financial holding company, and parent company of Redding Bank of Commerce(TM), Roseville Bank of Commerce(TM), Sutter Bank of Commerce(TM) and Bank of Commerce Mortgage(TM) today announced second quarter 2007 operating results.

Bank of Commerce Holdings' net income for the second quarter 2007 was $1,600,000 or $0.18 per diluted share compared to $1,689,000 or $0.19 per diluted share during the second quarter 2006, a decrease of 5.3%. Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the second quarter of 2007 were 1.07% and 13.69% respectively, compared with 1.25% and 15.94% for the second quarter of 2006.

On June 19, 2007, the Company announced a $0.08 quarterly cash dividend payable to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2007 and paid on July 13, 2007.

At June 30, 2007, Bank of Commerce Holdings' total assets were $605.6 million, an increase of 3.79% or $22.1 million from December 31, 2006. Net loans increased to $437.8 million, an increase of $28.8 million from December 31, 2006.

The Company's loan portfolio is sound and performing well. The Company's allowance for loan losses was 1.12% of total loans at June 30, 2007 and 1.18% at December 31, 2006, while its ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.00% at June 30, 2007, compared to 0.00% at December 31, 2006.

Provisions for loan losses for the quarter ended June 2007 were $0 compared to $143,000 for the same period in 2006. The Company's OREO remained at $0 through the second quarter of 2007 and 2006.

Total deposits increased to $441.2 million, an increase of $1.8 million or 0.42% from December 31, 2006. The Company has launched several new deposit products including Forever Free Checking, Get Out and Play Checking, High Performance Savings and High Performance Checking packages during the period.

The capital ratios of Redding Bank of Commerce continue to be above the well-capitalized guidelines established by bank regulatory agencies.

The most significant impact on net interest income between periods is derived from the interaction of changes in the volume of and rate earned or paid on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The volume of interest-earning assets in loans and securities, compared to the volume of interest-bearing liabilities represented by deposits and borrowings, combined with the spread, produces the changes in net interest income between periods. The Company's net interest margin was 4.03% in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 4.47% for the same period in 2006.

Bank of Commerce Holdings, with administrative offices in Redding, California is a financial service holding company that owns Redding Bank of Commerce(TM), Roseville Bank of Commerce(TM), Sutter Bank of Commerce(TM) and Bank of Commerce Mortgage(TM).

Interest income on loans includes fee income of approximately $135,554 and $272,900 for the period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company's average total assets increased to $574.5 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $496.4 million for the same period in 2006, a $47.6 million increase or 9.0%.

The Company's practice is to place an asset on nonaccrual status when one of the following events occurs: (i) Any installment of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, (ii) management determines the ultimate collection of principal or interest to be unlikely or (iii) the terms of the loan have been renegotiated due to a serious weakening of the borrower's financial condition. Interest income on loans does not reflect accruals on loans in a nonaccrual status. Accruals are resumed on loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when the loan is estimated to be fully collectible.
