EXTON, Pa., April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — First Resource Bank (BULLETIN BOARD: FRSB) announced that the Bank achieved over $100 million in total assets at its March 31, 2008 quarter-end. Total assets of $104 million at March 31, 2008 compares to $79 million at March 31, 2007 and $97 million at December 31, 2007.

The operating performance of the Bank was reported as a net loss of $62,774 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, the first quarterly loss in the last 6 quarters. The pre-tax loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $94,136, which compares to pre-tax income of $35,328 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and $8,052 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

President & CEO Glenn B. Marshall stated, “While we continue to be satisfied with the growth of the Bank in these difficult economic times, we struggled in the first quarter with a short sale on one specific consumer relationship that required a $123,000 charge-off from our loan loss reserve. The Bank has never engaged in any Sub-prime or other high risk lending strategies. We continue to execute our Community Bank lending strategy within our local Chester County, Pennsylvania market which has remained stable and insulated from the nation-wide real estate issues that have affected many banks around the country. We continue to focus on the growth of the Bank’s book of business and achieving an improved net interest margin through lowering our deposit cost of funds resulting in more consistent long term profitability.”

The loan portfolio grew $6.4 million, or 7.8%, during the first quarter to $87.9 million at March 31, 2008 as follows:
