Princeton National Bancorp, Inc., (NASDAQ: PNBC), the holding company of Citizens First National Bank, today reported results of operations and financial condition for the third quarter of 2009.

Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $760,000 as compared to $1,898,000 in the second quarter of 2009. Net income available to common stockholders was $440,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared to net income available to common stockholders of $1,575,000, or $0.48 earnings per diluted common share, recorded in the second quarter of 2009. In comparison to the third quarter of 2008, earnings per diluted common share decreased $0.53 and net income available to common stockholders decreased $1,747,000. The lower net income is attributable to an increase in the loan loss provision and insurance assessments by the FDIC.

President & CEO Tony J. Sorcic stated, "The country continues to be in a severe recession. Credit quality continues to weaken across the nation, resulting in financial institutions building their loan loss provisions. The decline in collateral values continues in the housing market and the national average unemployment rate rose in September 2009 to 9.8%. Unfortunately, in the State of Illinois the unemployment rate is higher than the national average and has risen to 10.5%, significantly higher than the average of 7.2% reported by the State of Illinois at the end of 2008."

Mr. Sorcic concluded, "Unlike many institutions in the banking industry, the Company continues to experience growth in its balance sheet and generate positive earnings. In comparing September 30, 2009 to September 30, 2008, total deposits increased $127.4 million, total loans increased $10.1 million, net interest income increased $2.464 million, and non-interest income increased $337,000. The net interest margin for the first nine months was 3.45%, down 1 basis point from the same period in 2008. Non-interest expense increased $3.781 million; which represents a minimal increase in core operating expenses when you consider federal insurance assessments increased $1.822 million and other real estate expenses increased $670,000."

Net-interest income for the third quarter of 2009 (before provision) was $8.883 million and non-interest income was $2.772 million, compared to $8.629 million and $3.731 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2009 and $8.172 million and $2.851 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2008. Return on average equity was 3.02% for the third quarter 2009, compared to 7.77% for the second quarter 2009 and 12.54% for the third quarter of 2008.

Total assets ended the quarter at $1.287 billion, up 2.3%, or 9.2% annualized, from $1.258 billion at June 30, 2009 and 10.7% from $1.163 billion at December 31, 2008. Princeton National Bancorp, Inc. experienced a $6.5 million increase and in total loans as of September 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2009 and an $18.6 million decrease compared to December 31, 2008, respectively (due to a general slowdown in the economy and the refinancing of adjustable rate real estate loans into fixed rate products which are sold into the secondary market).

Princeton National Bancorp, Inc. recorded a loan loss provision of $2.410 million during the quarter, compared to $1.465 million in the second quarter and $550,000 in the third quarter of 2008. During the first nine months, the Company has recorded a loan loss provision of $5.045 million versus $1.368 million for the same period in 2008, due to the increase in non-performing loans. Although the loan charge-offs during 2009 remain extremely low at $2.350 million, or .40% of total loans, non-performing loans increased $5.5 million to $38.5 million compared to $33.0 million as of December 31, 2008. At the end of the third quarter, specific loss provisions for individual credits totaled $1.359 million, compared to $1.530 million at June 30, 2009 and $818,000 at December 31, 2008. Citizens First National Bank evaluates the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio on a monthly basis and believes the loan loss reserve is adequate to cover estimated losses as of September 30, 2009. The Subsidiary Bank staff will continue to work with borrowers to resolve problem loan situations and to work through this challenging credit cycle. Recognizing this, and reflective of current conditions, the level of loan loss provisioning has increased, bringing the level of reserves to 1.00% of total loans, an increase from .64% at December 31, 2008 and .50% at September 30, 2008.

The Board of Directors declared a $.14 per common share dividend payable December 7, 2009 to those shareholders of record as of November 16, 2009. This represents the Company's 99th consecutive dividend.

On September 29, 2009, the FDIC adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would require insured institutions to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and all of 2010, 2011, and 2012. The Corporation estimates the amount of the prepaid assessment to be approximately $6 million. The FDIC also announced a uniform 3-basis point increase in the risk-based assessment effective January 1, 2011, which will bring the Company's assessment rate to 20 basis points.

The Company's solid capital base and ability to generate core earnings continue to be an advantage as we work through the current credit cycle. The Subsidiary Bank has been providing financial solutions to meet the financial needs of its customers since 1865. Princeton National Bancorp, Inc. and Citizens First National Bank continue to focus on positioning themselves to benefit as conditions improve.

The price of PNBC stock closed at $15.75 on September 30, 2009, compared to $14.60 on June 30, 2009, $14.00 on March 31, 2009 and $22.14 on December 31, 2008. Financial stocks continue to be impacted by poor earnings reports by many institutions, due to the current credit cycle. Princeton National Bancorp, Inc. has reported positive quarterly earnings for fifty-eight consecutive quarters!
