WILSON — CB Financial Corporation, the single bank holding company for Cornerstone Bank, posted earnings of $307,000 for the first quarter of 2007, a 30.6 percent increase from the same period last year.
Assets grew to $178 million as of March 31, 2007, a 17.1% increase over the same period last year. Other key bank measurements also increased steadily. Total loans as of March 31, 2007 were $130 million (a 14 percent increase) and total deposits at first quarter-end were $154 million (a 19.4% increase).
“The year is off to a good start,” CB Financial (and Cornerstone Bank) chairman Tom Brown said. “Our performance is clearly linked to a staff that understands the culture of a community bank.”
Cornerstone Bank president Norm Osborn said the bank continues to generate a healthy blend of deposits and loans. “With a fair pricing structure, our customers are not compelled to shop their loans or deposits rates,” Osborn said.
“We also provide a pleasant banking experience,” Osborn added. “We respect our customers, and I think our customers respect our bank.”
