A $1.3-million gain on the sale of assets enabled Yuba Natural Resources Inc. to post a profit for the third fiscal quarter ended Dec. 31. But the mining company still reported a loss for the nine months.
In the latest quarter, Yuba had net income of $645,790, or 6 cents a share, compared with a loss of $575,478 in the same period a year ago. Revenue, including the $1.25-million gain on sales of assets, increased to $1.4 million, from $159,381 a year earlier.
For the nine months, Yuba suffered a net loss of $551,102, compared to a loss of $1.4 million a year earlier. Revenues were to $1.8 million, up from $677,685 a year ago.
The extraordinary gain was realized from a transaction in which Yuba established a joint venture to produce silica sand and flour at a company location in Northern California.
California Heritage Bank and some of its former officers and directors are being sued for fraud, conspiracy and racketeering by a Chicago savings and loan that said it was sold $4 million of worthless mortgage loans.
The suit, filed by by Norwood Federal Savings and Loan Assn. in federal court in San Diego, alleges the bank joined with now-defunct San Marino Savings and Loan Assn. in an elaborate plan to falsify loan documents and supply knowingly incorrect property appraisals to inflate the value of an Escondido condominium project in the fall of 1982. More than 83 individuals were named in the action, which alleges that scores of East County residents were paid $300 to $500 to sign loan documents to buy the 83 condominiums they had no intention of honoring. “From all we know, these loans are good; they were legitimate loans on legitimate properties,” said California Heritage President Terry Metrovich, who is not named in the suit.
