14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Parkway Bank (OTC:PKWY) (BULLETIN
BOARD: PKWY) today reported record earnings for the three month
period ending March 31, 2005. Net income for the first quarter of
2005 was $220,220, an increase of 978.56% over net income of
$20,418 for the first quarter of 2004. Parkway's total assets grew
by 2.76%, from $73.9 million at December 31, 2004 to $75.9 million
at March 31, 2005. Net loans outstanding rose 7.68% during the same
period from $51.1 million to $55 million, while deposits totaled
$62.5 million at March 31, 2005 which represents a 2.78% increase
over deposits of $60.8 million at December 31, 2004. At March 31,
2005, shareholders' equity was $11.5 million and the bank's book
value per share was $10.02. Parkway Bank President and CEO, Gary
Clawson, in commenting on the results, noted, "We are very excited
that first quarter profits increased nearly ten fold over the same
period last year. A large portion of our earning assets are
intentionally tied to variable rates and recent actions by the
Federal Open Market Committee have directly influenced our earnings
capacity. Upward movements in the short-term rate market coupled
with continued focus on cost containment are primarily responsible
for the positive results." Parkway Bank is a community bank
operating two branches in Caldwell County, North Carolina. For more
