Oak Valley Bancorp recently reported the consolidated financial results for the three months ending Sept. 30 showed net income was $1,479,000, while net income available to common shareholders was a record $1,395,000, or $0.18 per diluted common share.

This compared to net income of $1,749,000 and net income available to common shareholders of $1,177,000, or $0.15 per diluted common share for the same period a year ago.

Year-to-date results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, include net income of $4,292,000 and net income available to common shareholders of $3,925,000, compared to net income of $4,364,000 and net income available to common shareholders of $3,371,000 during the same period last year.

Increased net income available to shareholders corresponds to reductions in preferred stock dividends and accretion. The source of the reductions is two-fold; initially, from the repayment of the Treasury Capital Purchase Program funds in 2011, and more recently, from last quarter’s repayment of $6,750,000, or half, of the outstanding preferred stock related to the Company’s participation in the Small Business Lending Fund.
