Bank of Napa, N.A. (OTCBB: BNNP) announced its financial results for the period ending March 31, 2014, where the Bank earned $456,000 on a pre-tax basis versus $384,000 in the same period last year, an increase of $72,000 or 18.8%. Net income after taxes was $275,000, a decline from that which was earned in the first quarter of 2013. The decline in quarter over quarter net income was due almost exclusively to the utilization of the Bank’s deferred asset income tax benefit mentioned in previous communications to shareholders.

Total deposits at March 31, 2014 were $143.4 million, an increase from 2013 of $16.5 million. Loan totals at March 31, 2014 increased to $99.2 million, up by $5.2 million from last year. Bank of Napa’s total assets reached $166.0 million at March 31, 2014, representing a $17.7 million or 11.9% increase over the same period last year.

President and Chief Executive Officer Tom LeMasters stated, “The expiration of the DTA was anticipated and we have begun to accrue for future tax payments. We continue to be pleased with our financial metrics indicating that we are performing similarly to peer banks, and are able to profitably grow both our loan and deposit portfolios.”

During the first quarter the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Banks primary regulator, concluded is regularly scheduled safety and soundness examination of the Bank and found all metrics to be in good order. At March 31, 2014, the Bank had equity capital of $21.9 million, and all capital ratios were in excess of the regulatory definition for “well capitalized” distinction.
