Citing weaker sales and profit margins, production problems at one subsidiary and start-up snafus at another, La Jolla-based Intermark Inc. reported a loss of $2.3 million for the third quarter ended Dec. 31, compared with a profit of $274,000, or 6 cents per share, in the third quarter of 1983. Revenues in the quarter totaled $111 million, up from the year before’s $43 million, primarily because of the full consolidation of subsidiary Pier 1 Inc.

For the nine months, Intermark reported a loss of $1.6 million on revenues of $354 million. That compares to 1983’s nine-months’ net income of $5.4 million, or $1.29 per share, on revenues of $111 million.

For the first time in three years, Vista-based Southwest Bancorp has reported an annual profit. Net income for the year ended Dec. 31 was $1.2 million, or 36 cents per share, compared to a loss of $1.9 million in 1983. Loans rose nearly 5% to $196 million while deposits decreased 2% to $238.6 million. Total assets dropped 10% to $275.5 million, reflecting a planned reduction in the purchase and sale of overnight federal funds, officials said.
