Jul 23rd 2013, 18:49 LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AMERICAN BUSINESS BANK (Bank) (AMBZ) today reported net income of $3,630,000 for the second quarter of 2013, a 36% increase over the $2,663,000 earned in the second quarter of 2012. Earnings per share (basic) in the second quarter of 2013 increased to $0.74 versus $0.55 in the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to a net $0.39 per share increase in realized securities gains for the quarter ending June 30, 2013. "The increase in the Bank's loan portfolio continued in the second quarter as it had in the first quarter of 2013. Also, deposits continued to grow in the second quarter and were up nearly 7% over the second quarter 2012, with demand deposits up over 12%," said Wes Schaefer, Vice Chairman and CFO. "The Bank was successful in harvesting some of its gains in the securities from its bond portfolio. The proceeds from the sales helped fund the loan growth." "Our growth in the second quarter follows our continued success in developing new relationship clients in the middle market business community in Southern California," said Leon Blankstein, President and CEO. "Our demand deposits increased over $60 million compared to the second quarter last year and our loans increased over $130 million during the same period, due to the hard work of the American Business Bank's staff."
