Community Bancorp., the parent company of Community National Bank, of Derby, VT has reported earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 of $948,460 or $0.27 per share, as compared to $640,976 or $0.18 per share for the same period a year ago. Year to date earnings were reported to be $1,564,383 or $0.44 per share compared to $1,129,894 or $0.32 per share for the first six months of 2001.
As of June 30, 2002, the company reported assets of $290,170,266 with total loans of $195,013,896 and deposits of $238,587,038.
In commenting on the company's growth and earnings performance, President Richard White said that part of the earnings improvement this quarter came from nonrecurring income from the sale of the bank's trust department to its new affiliate, Community Financial Services Group LLC, which more than offset a nonrecurring write-down of goodwill associated with the company's acquisition of the Liberty Savings Bank charter in NH five years ago. "In addition to these nonrecurring items," White said, "we are well ahead of where we were a year ago due in part to last year's growth and in part to a high level of mortgage activity, relatively constant spreads and fewer loan losses."
The company also reported that the bank's new Montpelier Office had deposits totaling $6.3 million and loans of $11.6 million as of June 30, 2002 after approximately one year in operation.
The company's board of directors has declared a cash dividend of 16 cents per share, payable August 1 to shareholders of record as of July 15, 2002.
Community National Bank is an independent bank that has been serving its communities since 1851, with offices now located in Derby, Derby Line, Island Pond, Barton, Newport, Troy, St. Johnsbury and Montpelier.
