Total assets for the period reached $88.8 million, up from $75.9 million at the end of June 2007.
Second-quarter profits were $164,000 for the three-month period ending June 30 compared to $248,000 a year earlier, reports filed with federal regulators show.
George E. Nagy, the Mojave-based bank’s president and chief executive, said in a release the bank is well-capitalized, didn’t engage in any risky real estate lending and has strong asset quality overall.
Construction of a permanent branch in Lancaster is under way after more than a year in temporary quarters there.
