ALASKA PACIFIC BANCSHARES, INC. REPORTS
SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS FOR 2011


JUNEAU, Alaska, August 8, 2011 -- Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. (OTCBB: AKPB) (“Company”), the parent company of Alaska Pacific Bank (“Bank”), today reported net income available to common shareholders of $120,000, or $0.16 per diluted common share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, as compared to net income available to common shareholders of $149,000, or $0.23 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2010.

Net income available to common shareholders for the first half of 2011, was $187,000, or $0.26 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $321,000, or $(0.49) per diluted common share for 2010.

“The second quarter lagged our expectations, with mortgage loan activity still lower than we anticipated.” said President & Chief Executive Officer, Craig E. Dahl.  “ There are more homes on the market now than in the first quarter and although there has been an improvement in market conditions, homes sales are not occurring  at the pace we would have liked.  Nonetheless year over year earnings have improved.  We’ve continued to make good progress in reducing our classified loans, and the related expenses associated with them have also continued to decline.   We’re also addressing the various regulatory changes that have come with the implementation of many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, on July 1, 2011; but our primary focus continues to be on serving our customers and meeting their credit needs.”
 
The provision for loan losses was $193,000 and $292,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2011 was $2.0 million, representing 1.34% of total loans outstanding.  Total non-accrual loans were $635,000 at June 30, 2011 compared with $624,000 at March 31, 2011 and $2.1 million at June 30, 2010.  In addition, the Bank’s real estate owned and repossessed assets were $1.1 million at June 30, 2011 compared with $1.2 million at March 31, 2011 and $2.9 million at June 30, 2010.  There was $84,000 in net loan charge offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared with net loan recoveries of $227,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and net charge offs of $296,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Net interest income decreased $132,000, or (6.2%) to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $2.1 million for the comparable quarter of 2010 reflecting primarily the decline in the size of our loan portfolio.  Net interest margin on average interest-earning assets for the second quarter of 2011 was 5.10% compared with 5.28% in the second quarter of 2010.

Loans (excluding loans held for sale and before the allowance for loan losses) were $147.7 million at June 30, 2011, an increase of $3.7 million, or 2.6% from March 31, 2011, and a decrease of $9.5 million, or 6.1% from June 30, 2010.  Deposits at June 30, 2011, were
 
 
 

 
 
$147.0 million, a $5.2 million, or 3.6% increase from March 31, 2011, and a $1.0 million, or 0.7% increase from June 30, 2010.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2011 decreased $85,000 (4.0%) from March 31, 2011 and decreased $79,000, or (3.8%) from the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The net decrease compared to prior quarters was primarily attributable to a decrease in FDIC assessment expense.
 
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2011, including gain on sale of loans, increased $51,000, or (14.9%) to $393,000 compared with $342,000 for the first quarter of 2011.  The increase during the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to an increase of $29,000 in mortgage banking income and an increase of $26,000 in service charges on deposit accounts.
