Pacific Alliance Bank (OTCBB: PFBN) celebrates its third year of operation, reporting its first profitable quarter since its inception on December 27, 2006.

The Bank also announces a $2 million increase in capital (200,000 shares at $10.00 per share) in January 2010, as part of an ongoing Private Placement Offering and in the context of the Bank’s Profit and Capital Plan. This Plan supports the Bank’s continuing growth and success, targeting a growth Tier 1 leverage capital ratio in excess of 11.0%, significantly in excess of “well capitalized” banking standards. The capital increase includes participation from the Bank’s Board members.

We report our operating results for the 4th quarter ending December 31, 2009, as follows:

  • The Bank reports 4th Quarter operating profit of $30,000, which was $1,089,000 better than the same period 2008 result of net loss of $1,059,000.
