First National Bank of Northern California Reports Second Quarter 2014 Earnings of $0.39 per Diluted Share

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 30, 2014) - FNB Bancorp (OTCQB: FNBG), parent company of First National Bank of Northern California (the "Bank"), today announced net earnings available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2014 of $1,629,000 or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to net earnings available to common shareholders of $1,207,000 or $0.30 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2013. During the second quarter of 2014, FNB Bancorp signed a definitive agreement and submitted an application to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to purchase Valley Community Bank in an all stock transaction. This acquisition is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2014.

"During the second quarter of 2014, the Bank experienced strong deposit growth. Most of the higher rate interest-bearing brokered time deposits acquired in our Oceanic Bank acquisition have matured. Overall, our deposit portfolio has performed in line with expectations, with reductions in certificates of deposit more than offset by increases in DDA, NOW and MMDA accounts. During the second quarter of 2014, there was a decrease of $18,000,000 in our outstanding wholesale borrowings obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank, which totaled $7,000,000 as of June 30, 2014. The Bank intends to use and repay outstanding borrowings as needed in order to stay fully invested in our loan and investment portfolios in the near term. Loan originations slowed during the second quarter of 2014 in comparison to the first quarter of the year, but yields have held steady. During the second quarter of 2014, the Bank realized a $1.1 million recovery from a single credit relationship that was credited to the Bank's Allowance for Loan Loss, giving us further evidence that the worst of the credit issues caused by the last recession are now behind us," stated Tom McGraw, Chief Executive Officer.

"During the second quarter, the Bank continued to improve our capital position through the retention of earnings, even after an increase of $0.01 per share in the quarterly cash dividend declared to $0.11 per share. Total assets grew at an annualized rate of less than 2% during the quarter which helped the Bank improve our Tier 1 leverage capital ratio to 10.06% as of June 30, 2014. The Bank remains 'well capitalized' in all regulatory capital calculations and we have sufficient capital resources to be able to pursue potential acquisitions that may benefit the bank in this environment. To be successful, we understand that we must continually meet or exceed our customers' expectations. For over 50 years, we have built our organization around the idea that we must earn our customers' business," continued CEO Tom McGraw.
