Bank of Commerce Announces Third Quarter Results
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- During the third quarter of 2011 Bank of Commerce (BONC.OB) continued to write-down and liquidate problem assets. "Based on updated appraisals and other market information, we believe we have properly accounted for the dramatic depreciation that has occurred over the past few years in the value of our real estate loan portfolio. Although this has negatively impacted our earnings both for the quarter and the year to date period, we remain a well capitalized bank," said Wes Sturges, President and CEO.

As a result of falling real estate values, liquidations and write-downs on problem assets, the Bank posted a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $737,000 for the quarter ending September 30, 2011, compared to net income of $22,000 for the same period last year. Total assets have declined from $171.0 million at December 31, 2010 to $153.0 million as of September 30, 2011.

The Bank's net loss attributable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $967,000, compared to net income of $272,000 for the same period last year.
