FREDERICK, Md., Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Frederick County Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQB Marketplace: FCBI), the parent company for Frederick County Bank ("FCB"), announced today that, for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded net income of $352 thousand and diluted earnings per share of $0.23, as compared to net income of $304 thousand and diluted earnings per share of $0.20 recorded for the same quarter of 2013.  The Company earned $1.7 million with diluted earnings per share of $1.12 for the year ended on December 31, 2014, as compared to $1.7 million in earnings and diluted earnings per share of $1.10 for the same period in 2013. 

The increase in quarterly earnings was due primarily to the lower level of the provision for loan losses of $0 in 2014, as compared to $200 thousand recorded in 2013, the total noninterest income of $318 thousand in 2014 as compared to $207 thousand in 2013, which was partially offset by the increase in noninterest expense which was $2.7 million in 2014 compared to $2.4 million in 2013.  This increase was primarily in the salaries and benefits expense which increased by $271 thousand.

Earnings for 2014 were relatively flat compared to 2013.  Net interest income for 2014 increased by $453 thousand over 2013, due primarily to an increase in interest earned on the loan portfolio.  Noninterest income increased by $242 thousand in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily due to gains recognized on the sale of SBA loans.  There was no provision recorded in 2014 and $275 thousand in 2013.  All of these items were offset by an increase in noninterest expenses which increased from $9.2 million in 2013 to $10.0 million in 2014, primarily as a result of salaries and benefits expense which increased by $271 thousand, and other expenses which increased by $253 thousand.

Net loan recoveries for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 totaled $69 thousand as compared to net loan charge-offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 totaled $412 thousand.  For the entire years of 2014 and 2013, the net loan charge-offs totaled $61 thousand and $422 thousand, respectively.  

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans stood at 1.28% and 1.35% as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Nonperforming assets stood at $5.6 million and $5.3 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The corresponding nonperforming assets to total assets ratios were 1.63% and 1.67% as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 

The Company also reported that, as of December 31, 2014, assets stood at $343.1 million, with total deposits of $285.0 million and gross loans of $262.5 million, representing increases of 7.9%, 6.7%, and 3.4%, respectively, compared to December 31, 2013.  Total shareholders' equity at December 31, 2014 was $27.9 million, an increase of $1.7 million from December 31, 2013.  The increase primarily results from an increase in retained earnings of $1.3 million at December 31, 2014 as compared to December 31, 2013 and the decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss from $586 thousand to $17 thousand at December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.  On a per share basis, book value per share increased by $1.28 for 2014 to $18.92 per share at December 31, 2014.

Frederick County Bank is headquartered in Frederick, Maryland, and conducts full service commercial banking services through five bank centers, four of which are located in the City of Frederick and one in Walkersville, Maryland.
