KENILWORTH, N.J., April 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Enterprise National Bank N.J. (the "Bank") (OTC:ENBN) (BULLETIN BOARD: ENBN) reported a net loss of $121 thousand, or $(0.07) per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to a loss of $26 thousand, or $(0.01) per share in the fourth quarter 2007 and a loss of $164 thousand, or $(.09) per share, in the first quarter of 2007. FINANCIAL CONDITION The Bank ended the first quarter with total assets of $86.4 million as compared to $83.7 million at December 31, 2007, reflecting growth of 3.23%. During the same period, the Bank experienced a net growth in loans of $8.9 million, or 16.3% and decreases in cash and due from banks of $4.6 million and investment securities of $1.6 million, as excess liquidity was used to fund loan demand. During the first three months of 2008, the Bank funded $9.1 million of primarily commercial real estate and business loans, which was offset in part by payoffs and repayments totaling $.2 million. Asset growth was funded by an increase in deposits of $600 thousand, to $66.0 million at March 31, 2008 and a $2.0 million increase on borrowings. REVENUES Total revenue, defined as net interest income plus non-interest income, increased by $126 thousand, or 22.6%, during the first quarter in comparison to the year ago period. The growth in revenues was due to continued growth in interest earning assets. Net Interest Income Net interest income for the first quarter of 2008 was $662 thousand, as compared to $544 thousand in the first quarter of 2007. The increase in the net interest income is primarily due to an increase in average earning assets. Net interest margin increased to 3.06% in the first quarter of 2008 from 2.96% in the fourth quarter of 2007, and decreased from 3.12% during the year ago first quarter. Provision for Loan Losses During the first quarter of 2008, the Bank's provision for possible loan losses was $35 thousand as compared to $11 thousand in the first quarter 2007. The provision reflects the stability of our asset quality, the level of loans outstanding and management's view of the risks inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for possible loan losses as a percentage of total loans was .96% as of March 31, 2008 as compared to 1.24% at March 31, 2007. Non-Interest Income Non-interest income totaled $20 thousand for the first quarter of 2008 as compared to $12 thousand for the first quarter of 2007. Non-Interest Expense Total non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2008 was $766 thousand, compared to $708 thousand in the first quarter of 2007. Relative to the same period last year, total non-interest expense increased 8.2% for the first quarter of 2008. The increase was primarily due to the expenses related to the hiring of the new support personnel in the business development and lending areas. Salaries and employee benefits expense was $441 thousand in the first quarter of 2008, a 13.4% increase compared to $389 thousand in the first quarter of 2007. The growth in expenses reflects the necessary expansion in staff and infrastructure to meet the needs of business development and loan creation. ASSET QUALITY The Bank has no non-performing loans as of March 31, 2008. No loans were charged off during the first quarter of 2008, and no loans have been charged off since the inception of the Bank. CAPITAL Stockholders' equity totaled $11.3 million at March 31, 2008, unchanged from December 31, 2007. The equity is unchanged because although the Bank experienced a $120 thousand loss, it was partially offset by the unrealized gains on investment securities increase of $91 thousand. All of the Bank's capital ratios are in excess of the "well-capitalized" threshold.
