FREDERICK, Md., April 15, 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 March 31, 2015 the Company recorded net income of $480 thousand and diluted earnings per share of $0.31, as compared to net income of $525 thousand and diluted earnings per share of $0.34 recorded for the same quarter of 2014. 

The decrease in earnings was due primarily to an increase in total noninterest expense to $2.6 million at March 31, 2015 from $2.3 million for the same period of 2014, offsetting an increase in total noninterest income of $306 thousand for the same periods.  In 2015, there were gain on sale of loans in the amount of $238 thousand and securities gains for $69 thousand, where there were no gains recognized in 2014.

Net loan charge-offs for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 totaled $170 thousand and $40 thousand, respectively.  There were $172 thousand and $42 thousand in charge-offs in 2015 compared to 2014, which were offset by recoveries of $2 thousand and $2 thousand for the periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans stood at 1.20%, 1.34% and 1.28% as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  Nonperforming assets stood at $5.3 million, $5.4 million and $5.6 million as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  The corresponding nonperforming assets to total assets ratios were 1.52%, 1.61% and 1.63% as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 and December 31, 2014, respectively. 

The Company also reported that, as of March 31, 2015, assets stood at $351.5 million, with total deposits of $292.7 million and gross loans of $265.9 million, representing increases of 5.2%, 3.7%, and 6.4%, respectively, compared to March 31, 2014.  Total shareholders' equity at March 31, 2015 was $28.3 million, an increase of $429 thousand from December 31, 2014.  The increase primarily resulted from net income of $480 thousand, the decline in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities in the amount of $44 thousand and proceeds from the exercise of options in the amount of $2 thousand, offset by dividends declared in the aggregate amount of $103 thousand.  On a per share basis, book value per share increased by 29 cents for 2015 to $19.21 per share at March 31, 2015 from $18.92 per share at December 31, 2014.  The dividends declared per share remained constant at $0.07 per share for the periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Frederick County Bank is headquartered in Frederick, Maryland, and conducts full service commercial banking services through five bank centers located in Frederick County, Maryland.
