Bancshares, Inc., (OTC-QB: PTBS), the One Bank Holding
Company for Bank of Charles Town,
announced its quarterly results for the period ending June 30, 2013. The Charles Town, West Virginia based company
earned $588 thousand or 17 cents per share for the quarter ended
June 30, 2013 compared to net income
of $346 thousand or 10 cents a share for the quarter ended

to date earnings through June 30,
2013 are 34 cents per share
compared to 19 cents for the first
six months of 2012. Loans, net of reserve for the quarter

Based on the continued improvement in the bank's performance and
the overall economic outlook in the bank's trade area, the Board of
Directors of Potomac Bancshares at its July
9, 2013 meeting declared a 4
cent per share dividend for all shareholders of record on
July 22, 2013. This cash dividend
will be payable on August 1,
2013.
As previously announced, the Board also adopted a Dividend
Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan for shareholders and an
Employee Stock Purchase Plan through its transfer agent, American
Stock Transfer and Trust Co., LLC. Baronner said, "We're very
pleased to offer our shareholders an easy and convenient way to
build their investment in Potomac Bancshares." He added,
"We're also very excited that employees will now be able to invest
on a biweekly basis in Potomac Bancshares stock and give them an
ownership interest in their company and a stake in its future
success."
When ready for distribution, the Dividend Reinvestment Plan will
be mailed to all registered shareholders with enrollment
information. Shareholders who are interested in participating will
need to complete an enrollment form and return the same to American
Stock Transfer. It is expected the plan will be in place early in
the fourth quarter of 2013.
The bank also announced its intent to open a new full service
branch in Hagerstown, Maryland
early in the fourth quarter of 2013, subject to regulatory
approval. Baronner said, "This office will give us additional
growth opportunities and some further industry diversification for
our commercial loan portfolio going forward. Our Market
Executive, Steve Michael, has been
working the Washington County
Maryland market for over a year and we believe we can
fulfill a niche in small business financial services in the greater
Hagerstown area."
Bank of Charles Town has full
service locations in Charles Town,
Harpers Ferry, Kearneysville, Martinsburg and Hedgesville, West Virginia. The bank also
opened a new loan production office in Middleburg, Virginia earlier this year. For
