Unity Bancorp Reports 29% Increase In Annual Earnings

Clinton, NJ - Unity Bancorp, Inc (NASDAQ: UNTY), parent company of Unity Bank, reported net income of $4.6 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2003, a 28.6% increase compared to $3.7 million, or $0.63 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2002.  Return on average assets and average common equity for 2003 were 1.04% and 16.05%, respectively, as compared to 0.91% and 13.95%, respectively, for 2002.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2003, net income was $0.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, an 11.1% decrease from $1.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share for the same period a year ago.  The decline in net income from the prior years comparable quarter was due to $0.7 million of professional fees associated with the recently completed audit committee inquiry regarding the prior President and Chief Executive Officer and a $0.3 million severance accrual related to the resignation of such officer.  After-tax earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 were reduced by approximately $600 thousand as a result of these charges.  Return on average assets and average common equity for the quarter ended December 31, 2003, were 0.81% and 12.30%, respectively, as compared to 0.94% and 15.12%, respectively, for the same period a year ago.

“Once you exclude the expenses associated with our audit committee’s inquiry, the operating results of 2003 demonstrate continued earnings improvement for both 2003 and the fourth quarter of 2003,” said Unity Chief Executive Officer, David D. Dallas.  “We have continued to grow the Unity franchise by improving our revenue while controlling the core expenses of the bank.  We will continue to focus on the fundamentals of providing superior customer service in 2004 and beyond.”

Net interest income was $4.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2003, compared to $4.1 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. Net interest margin was 4.35% for the fourth quarter of 2003 compared to 4.06% for the fourth quarter of 2002. Net interest margin for 2003 was 4.28% compared to 4.09% for 2002.  The Company’s net interest margin in 2003 improved from 2002 primarily due to the lower cost of funds.

The provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $375 thousand, down from the $400 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2002. The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2003, was $1.6 million compared to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.  The decline in the year-to-date provision is due to the lower level of loan charge offs.   Net loan charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $342 thousand, compared to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Total non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2003 was $2.1 million, flat from a year ago.  Gains on sales of SBA loans amounted to $0.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2003, compared to $1.0 million for the same period last year.  Service charges on deposits for 2003 increased 3.9% over 2002 as a result of increased fees and a larger deposit base. Service and loan fees for the fourth quarter of 2003 increased 14.9% from the prior year’s comparable quarter due to increased levels of serviced loans and loan prepayment penalties.  Other income for the fourth quarter of 2003 increased to $0.4 million, a 47.1% increase from the prior year’s comparable quarter primarily due to title insurance revenue.

Total non-interest income grew to $8.3 million in 2003 as compared to $8.0 million in 2002.  Gains on sales of SBA loans declined by 15.2% in 2003 to $3.1 million as a result of lower volume.  Service charges on deposits grew 27.8% in 2003 to $2.0 million and loan fee income grew $30.7% in 2003 to $2.0 million as a result of a larger transaction base.

A primary source of revenue for Unity Bancorp is gains on the sale of SBA 7a loans.  As a result of current funding limitations experienced by the Small Business Administration, the SBA has imposed a loan cap on SBA 7a loans of $750,000 for 2004, as compared to a cap of $1.5 million in 2003.  Although there is no assurance that the cap will not be lifted in 2004, the impact of reducing the cap to $750,000 will likely reduce the amount of gains on SBA loans in 2004.

Total non-interest expenses for the fourth quarter of 2003 were $4.9 million, an increase of 17.9% from the prior year’s comparable quarter. The increase from the prior year’s quarter was primarily due to the increased compensation and benefit costs associated with the $0.3 million resignation package for the prior President and Chief Executive Officer and $0.7 million in professional fees incurred with respect to the fourth quarter audit committee inquiry of such Officer.  Excluding these expenses, total non-interest expenses for the fourth quarter of 2003 were flat from the prior year’s comparable quarter.

Total non-interest expenses for 2003 were $17.3 million, an 11.5% increase from the prior year.  Compensation and benefits expenses increased 10.7% in 2003 due to increased head count, merit increases and rising health care costs.  Occupancy expenses increased 12.7% in 2003 to $1.9 million primarily due to the addition of our Bridgewater branch.  Professional fees increased $0.9 million in 2003 to $1.5 million primarily due to the legal fees associated with an on going check-kiting

lawsuit and the $0.7 million associated with the fourth quarter audit committee inquiry of the prior President and Chief Executive Officer.

Total assets at December 31, 2003 were $467 million, a 7.9% increase from a year ago.  The increase in assets from the prior year was primarily due to growth in the Company’s loan portfolio.  Total loans at December 31, 2003 were $339.8 million, a 9.0% increase from a year ago.  The growth in the loan portfolio occurred primarily in commercial loans, which totaled $188.2 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of 14.9% from a year ago.  SBA loans held for investment were $50.0 million at December 31, 2003, flat from a year ago.   Due to continued prepayments, residential mortgage loans declined 9.1% in 2003 and totaled $51.2 million at December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003, consumer loans increased 32.3% to $36.4 million compared to 2002, primarily due to the growth in the Company’s home equity loan portfolio.

Total deposits at December 31, 2003 were $415.0 million, a 8.5% increase from the prior year.  This increase was primarily the result of growth in “Opportunity Checking,” Unity’s premier interest-bearing checking product. Non-interest bearing accounts totaled $86.8 million at December 31, 2003, up 14.9% from a year ago.

“Our loan production and deposit growth for the fourth quarter of 2003 was extremely robust,” said Unity President James A. Hughes. “In 2004, we will continue to focus on growing the Company’s revenue and adopting customer service initiatives throughout the Unity organization.”

At December 31, 2003, the allowance for loan losses was 1.58% of total loans, compared to 1.31% a year ago.  Non-performing assets at December 31, 2003 were $5.7 million, compared to $3.8 million a year ago.  Included in non-performing assets are two commercial mortgages totaling $2.0 million that are well collateralized, however, the borrowers have defaulted due to cash flow problems.  Also included in non-performing assets at December 31, 2003, are approximately $1.4 million of loans that are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration.   Loans greater than 90 days and still accruing interest increased to $1.9 million at December 31, 2003.  The majority of these loans were pending extensions or restructurings.  Substantially all of these loans were brought contractually current by payments in January 2004.

Total shareholders’ equity was $30.8 million at December 31, 2003, a 13.5% increase from the prior year.  The increase in shareholders, equity over the prior year was due to retained profits partially offset by the decline in other comprehensive income and the payment of cash dividends.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company’s Tier I leverage ratio was 9.01%, Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 11.32%, and total risk-based capital ratio was 12.83%. All regulatory capital ratios exceed the well-capitalized federal capital adequacy requirements as of December 31, 2003.
