American West Reports 59% 1st-Quarter Increase

Encino-based American West Bank posted first-quarter earnings of $90,501, up 59% over the first quarter of 1986.

Earnings were 12 cents a share, against 7 cents in the quarter a year ago, while assets rose 20%, to $42 million.

The one-branch bank attributed the improved results to low interest rates, which cut the bank’s cost of money, as well as cost cutting.
