Community Shores Reports Second Quarter 2006 Earnings of $0.23 Per Diluted Share


MUSKEGON, Mich., July 21, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Community Shores Bank Corporation (Nasdaq:CSHB), Muskegon's only locally headquartered independent community banking organization, today reported second quarter 2006 net income of $342,000 compared with $342,500 reported in the second quarter of 2005, essentially flat. Diluted earnings per share were $0.23 compared with $0.23 for the year-ago quarter.

Heather D. Brolick, President and CEO, commented, "We are pleased with our performance this quarter, and its consistency. Michigan's economy has been a challenge, although Muskegon is one of the brightest corners of our state, and our base of small entrepreneurial businesses is relatively independent of trends in the auto industry. Our margins have been stable over the past five quarters, and our loan pipeline remains healthy, with asset quality restored to its earlier high-performance level. We are positioned well for a strong year, with several opportunities for additional growth and profitability as the year progresses."

Total revenue, consisting of net interest income and non-interest income, was $2.5 million for second quarter of 2006, an increase of 7.0% above the $2.3 million revenue reported for the prior year's second quarter. Net interest income increased 5.6% to $2.1 million, reflecting a 7.3% increase in average earning assets. Although the margin decreased 2 basis points compared to 2005's second quarter, the margin improved 9 basis points compared with 2006's first quarter.

Non-interest income for the current quarter was $355.9 thousand compared with $310.3 thousand for the year-ago quarter, an increase of $46.0 thousand, or 14.7%. Service charges increased by $30.5 thousand, or 13.5%, with gains on mortgage loan sales adding an incremental $8.9 thousand.

Non-interest expense totaled $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2006, up $86.6 thousand or 5.2% from the second quarter of 2005. Salaries and employee benefits, up $44.3 thousand or 4.9%, accounted for the majority of the increase, followed by an additional $15.7 thousand, up 21.7%, for occupancy. The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2006 improved to 71.08% from 72.15% for the year-ago quarter. Ms. Brolick noted, "Expense control remains a focus throughout the organization; all of our employees are on board to enhance the efficiency of our Company."

Assets at June 30, 2006 totaled $236.7 million compared with $222.8 million twelve months ago, up $13.9 million or 6.3%. Loans held for investment increased $12.2 million, or 6.5%, reaching $199.1 million at June 30, 2006. Deposits increased $13.6 million, or 7.1%, to $205.2 million for the same 12-month period.

Nonperforming loans and delinquencies were $1.43 million or 0.72% of period-end loans at June 30, 2006, compared with $1.58 million or 0.82% of loans at March 31, 2006 and $1.0 million or 0.55% of loans for the year-ago quarter. Net charge-offs were $94 thousand this quarter, or 0.19% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared with $384 thousand or 0.81% for the previous quarter, and $74 thousand, or 0.16% a year ago. The allowance for loan and lease losses stands at 1.22% of total loans at June 30, 2006.

Shareholders' equity totaled $15.1 million at June 30, 2006, up $1.1 million from twelve months ago. Tier I capital was 6.51% for the second quarter of 2006 compared with 6.35% for the prior year's second quarter. Shares outstanding at period-end were 1,436,800. Ms. Brolick concluded, "We continue to focus on the customer experience as the number one opportunity to enhance the value of our franchise. We believe this is the straightest path to revenue growth, and we plan to safeguard this growth with disciplined spending controls and prudent management of asset quality. These factors are firmly in place, and we look forward to a continuation of our solid performance."
