FULLERTON, CA--(Marketwire - May 29, 2009) - RMG Capital Corporation (OTCBB: [ RMGC ]), the holding company for Fullerton Community Bank, F.S.B. in Fullerton, California, announced results of first quarter 2009.

RMG Capital Corporation announced a net loss of $8 thousand or $.027 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to a net income of $1.29 million or $0.42 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The first quarter 2009 reduction in earnings is attributable to an increase in the provision for loan losses. At March 31, 2009, RMG Capital had total assets of $762.1 million as compared with $721.9 million at March 31, 2008.

RMG Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, Fullerton Community Bank ("FCB") earned $223 thousand during the first quarter. Although FCB's net interest income increased slightly to $7 million during the quarter, the Bank's net interest margin declined to 3.81% as the impact of the Bank's nonperforming loans reduced asset yields during the quarter.

The provision for loan losses plus REO charges totaled $1.8 million for the quarter compared to $230 thousand through March 31, 2008. Total reserves of $12.3 million currently comprise 1.77% of the entire loan portfolio, more than doubling reserve levels of 0.79% during last year's comparable period. Chairman & CEO Tom Meyer commented that, "We expect to reserve heavily throughout 2009 since it is clear that real estate collateral values have not yet stabilized. However, we are encouraged that our delinquent loan totals and nonperforming loan totals showed no further migration during the first quarter." Delinquent loans of $33.1 million (4.77%) of the total loan portfolio were virtually unchanged from year end. Nonperforming loans (90 days or more past due) equaled $27.8 million or 4.0% of the total loan portfolio. Meyer added, "We have already reduced our exposure to speculative construction and land loans by $8.8 million, and hope to shrink it to less than 5% of the portfolio by year end." The construction and land loan portfolio comprised 7.5% of total loans as of March 31, 2009.

SBA and Business Banking CRE 1st T/D loans total $213 million. This represents 32% of FCB's outstanding loans. These are owner occupied properties with an average loan-to-value at initial boarding of less than 50%. Delinquent CRE 1st T/D loans were 1.8% of total CRE loans at quarter end. Multi-family loans of $211 million represent 31% of the Bank's loan portfolio. These loans are all underwritten with a minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.15 times or greater. The majority of multi-family loans were made prior to 2007. Delinquent multi-family loans are 1.4% and all delinquencies are less than 60 days. Traditional single family mortgage loans comprise another $56 million, or 8% of total loans. FCB discontinued mortgage originations in the second quarter of 2004. The majority of loans currently outstanding have over six years of seasoning. There are no sub-prime, Alt-A, or Option ARMs in the portfolio. No single family loan was delinquent at the end of the quarter. Finally, non-CRE Business Banking and consumer loan portfolios, each representing 7% of FCB's total loan portfolio, reported delinquency ratios each below 1% as of March 31, 2009.

Operationally, the Bank continues to make significant progress attracting lower cost core deposits, primarily from new business banking relationships. While not yet evident from first quarter results, the Bank is experiencing a modest uptick in noninterest income, particularly in the secondary market for SBA loans. Meyer observed that, "We are excited that the secondary market for full U.S. government guaranteed SBA loans has reopened, after a virtual shutdown during the past year."

As of March 31, 2009, FCB exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and is considered "well-capitalized" with a Tier 1 Core Capital ratio of 8.46%, Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of 10.79% and Tier 1 Risked Based Capital Ratio of 9.86%.
