CHARLES TOWN, W.Va., April 30, 2018
CHARLES TOWN, W.Va., April 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Potomac Bancshares, Inc. (OTC-QB: PTBS), the one bank holding company for Bank of Charles Town (BCT), for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 earned $900 thousand or $0.27 per share compared to $1.354 million or $0.40 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Excluding the impact in the first quarter of 2017 from Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) proceeds of $670 thousand, net of a beneficiary payment and the related tax benefit on this amount, net income would have been $684 thousand or $0.20 cents per share. The increase in net income in the first quarter of 2018 compared to 2017 excluding the impact from BOLI would have been $216 thousand or a $0.07 per share increase over 2017.
Total assets were up $23.4 million over the first quarter of 2017 or 6%. Loans were up 2% over the same period a year ago. Deposits and cash management accounts were $23.5 million greater than 2017 or up 6.5%. While the first quarter loan growth was slower than expected, positive variances over the year ago quarter in net interest income, loan loss provision, and non-interest income excluding non-recurring income, were partly offset by a non-interest expense increase as continued growth and staffing plans were rolled out. In addition, the first quarter of 2018 was positively impacted by the reduction in the corporate tax rate to 21%. Credit quality remained favorable in the quarter with the non-performing asset ratio at 0.42%.

Q1 2018 Compared to Q1 2017:
"As announced last quarter we are moving ahead with our plans with expansion into Purcellville, Loudoun County, VA. We are on track to open late second quarter or early third quarter. We are excited to have a team of bankers very familiar with the Purcellville market," said CEO Frazier. "In addition, we are moving forward with the launch of a loan production office in Leesburg, VA. Hiring is underway with the addition of two experienced mortgage bankers with over 20 years' experience in the Loudoun market. These new hires joined BCT in April and will eventually be situated in Leesburg, VA. This initiative is designed to help grow both mortgage fee income and business lending. Both initiatives are part of our strategy for continued expansion in growth markets," said CEO Frazier.
A dividend of $0.07 per share for the second quarter was approved at the April board meeting. The dividend will be paid on May 1, 2018 to all shareholders of record on April 23, 2018.
