Omega Reports 2nd Quarter Earnings

    STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Omega Financial
Corporation (Nasdaq: OMEF) reported second quarter net income of $5.345
million, compared to $5.381 million for the same period last year, company
officials said. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.42.

    Donita R. Koval, Omega's president and chief executive officer, said
the company's net interest margin for the quarter rose to 4.09% on a fully
tax- equivalent basis from 3.90% in the same period last year in spite of a
flat yield curve and a challenging rate environment. She noted that the net
interest margin has also increased this quarter from the 4.01% recorded in
this year's first quarter, with net interest income rising by 1.71%.
    In the non-interest income area service fees on loans and deposit
accounts contributed solid increases, while non-interest expenses decreased
less than one half of one percent when comparing this quarter to second
quarter 2005.
    "The increase in the net interest margin comes at a time when all
financial institutions are challenged to simply maintain their margin,"
Koval said. "We continue to manage our balance sheet in order to achieve a
margin increase, and that strategy has paid off. At the same time, our
continued focus on expense control has aided our bottom line."
    In year-to-date figures, net income for 2006 is $10.688 million,
compared to $11.958 million in 2005, while diluted earnings per share are
$0.85 compared to $0.95. Excluding gains on securities and early
extinguishment of debt in 2005's first six months results in net income
year-to-date essentially unchanged. Common share dividends declared were
$0.31 and $0.62 for the quarter and year to date, respectively, unchanged
from the same periods last year.
    In the first quarter of 2006, approximately $20 million in loans for
one commercial borrower was placed on non-accrual status. Omega continues
to evaluate this credit and has increased the amount of loan loss allowance
allocated to this borrower to $3 million as of June 30, 2006. The remainder
of the Corporation's loan portfolio has shown improvement during the second
quarter in both non-accrual levels and delinquencies. As a result of this
improving trend, the provision for loan losses necessary to maintain the
allowance for loan losses at an adequate level was $100,000.
    The company recently announced the sale of its Sentry Trust affiliate
which it acquired in the 2004 merger with Sun Bancorp. The results of
Sentry Trust are reflected as discontinued operations in the consolidated
statements of income and the related assets and liabilities of Sentry Trust
have been segregated as such on the consolidated balance sheets.
Additionally, on July 31, 2006, the Company agreed to sell three branch
locations as it continues refining its retail network in the wake of the
merger. The assets and liabilities of these branches are classified as held
for sale on the June 30, 2006 consolidated balance sheet. The branch sales
are expected to close before December 31, 2006 and result in a total
pre-tax gain of approximately $2.3 million.
    In the second quarter, Omega Bank, the company's principal subsidiary
received a Pillars of the Community award from the Federal Home Loan Bank
of Pittsburgh (FHLB) for sustained and outstanding commitment to projects
that provide affordable housing and community and economic development.
Omega is the only financial institution in Central Pennsylvania to receive
the award this year and one of only four in Pennsylvania, Delaware and West
Virginia among 340 institutions eligible to compete for the designation.
