APSB Reports 17% Gain in 2nd-Quarter Profit

APSB Bancorp, the North Hollywood parent of American Pacific State Bank, said its second-quarter profit rose 17% from a year earlier.

The company’s net income in the three months that ended June 30 climbed to $271,000, or 29 cents a share, from $231,000, or 24 cents a share, a year earlier. For the first half of 1988, APSB’s earnings increased 31% to $575,000, or 60 cents a share, from $440,000, or 46 cents a share, in the comparable 1987 period.

APSB, whose assets rose 8% to $151 million as of June 30 from $139.5 million a year earlier, attributed the earnings gains to increased loan volume and a wider net interest margin, the difference between what APSB earns on its loans and what it pays for deposits.
