ALLISON PARK, Pa., Aug. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Laurel Capital
Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LARL) today reported net income for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2005 of $2.0 million or $1.03 per diluted share
compared to net income of $1.7 million or $.85 per diluted share
for the year ended June 30, 2004. The $362,000 or 21.5% increase in
net income for the year reflects the effect of an increase in net
interest income combined with a slight decrease in operating
expenses, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income and
an increase in income tax expense. For fiscal 2005, the Company's
return on average assets (ROA) was .67% and its return on average
stockholders' equity was 7.45% compared to .55% and 6.19%,
respectively, for fiscal 2004. Laurel Capital Group, Inc. also
reported net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 of $578,000
or $.29 per diluted share compared to $431,000 or $.22 per diluted
share for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The 34.1% increase in
net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 was primarily
attributable to an increase in net interest income and a decrease
in income tax expense partially offset by a slight decrease in
non-interest income and an increase in operating expenses.
Non-performing assets, which consist of loans delinquent 90 days
and over, other real estate owned and other repossessed assets,
decreased $1.1 million or 53.3% to $1.0 million or .33% of total
assets at June 30, 2005 compared to $2.2 million or .72% of total
assets at June 30, 2004. The allowance for loan losses at June 30,
2005 was $2.0 million or .95% of total loans as compared to $2.0
million or 1.17% at June 30, 2004. In commenting on the Company's
performance, Edwin R. Maus, President and Chief Executive Officer,
stated that "Although we are pleased with the significant
improvement in earnings, the Company has been and will continue to
be challenged by the current interest rate and economic
environment. These conditions continue to make it difficult for the
Company's operations to generate significant earnings growth.
However, we are pleased with the reduction in the level of
non-performing assets and believe it reflects our conservative
lending practices." At June 30, 2005, Laurel Capital Group, Inc.
had total assets of $309.8 million, loans receivable, net of $209.7
million and total deposits of $254.9 million. Additionally,
stockholders' equity amounted to $27.8 million or $14.31 per share
compared to $27.1 million or $14.06 per share at June 30, 2004.

(1) Equals total operating expenses (excluding net income or loss
on other real estate owned) divided by total operating income
(excluding gains on sale of assets available for sale). Gains and
losses on the sales of loans and securities available for sale are
excluded since they are generally considered by the Company's
management to be non- recurring in nature. Similarly, net income or
loss on other real estate owned is excluded since it is also
generally considered by the Company's management to be
non-recurring in nature. The efficiency ratio is not a financial
measurement required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) used in the United States of America. However, the Company
believes such information is useful to investors in evaluating the
Company's operations. As a result of rounding, the sum of quarterly
amounts may not equal the year-to-date amounts. LAUREL CAPITAL
