Citadel Holding, parent company of Fidelity Federal Savings in Glendale, said second-quarter earnings were a record $9.13 million, 30% higher than in the same quarter a year ago. Earnings would have been higher were it not for $650,000 in expenses incurred in its successful fight against an unwanted takeover offer from Great Western Financial, Citadel said. Fidelity Federal has 29 branch offices in California.
