Mission Bancorp announced unaudited second quarter 2015 financial information today. Mission Bancorp reported net income of $780 thousand for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $66 thousand (9%) from last year’s comparable quarter. Factors that contributed to the increase in earnings include the increase in net interest income of $140 thousand (4%) and a decrease in non-interest expense of $42 thousand (1%). The increase in earnings was partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income of $54 thousand (5%). We are pleased to report that our loan portfolio continues to grow. Outstanding loans between the second quarter 2015 and 2014 increased $26 million (11%). In accordance with the increase in outstanding loans, the allowance for loan losses increased by $567 thousand to $3.4 million. Management consistently monitors the current credit market and continues to believe that the loan loss provision is both prudent and sufficient. Shareholder equity between the second quarter 2015 and 2014 increased $3.3 million (9%). The increase in equity is due to strong earnings throughout 2014 and 2015 attributable to the growth in our loan portfolio and net interest income while decreasing our non-interest expense. Book value per share increased $2.07 (8%) to $26.70 at June 30, 2015 as compared to $24.63 at June 30, 2014. Earnings per share and book value per share reflect the 5% stock dividend paid in March 2015.
