WALNUT CREEK, Calif.–Bay Commercial Bank (OTCBB:BCML) (the “Bank”) today announced its first quarter 2011 operating results.
The Bank reported total assets as of March 31, 2011 of $162.9 million
including loans outstanding of $137.4 million compared to March 31, 2010
total assets of $143.2 million and total loans outstanding of 124.8
million. At March 31, 2011, total deposits were $128.7 million compared
to total deposits of $126.3 million at March 31, 2010. The Bank’s net
operating loss for the first quarter 2011 was $106,000 or a loss of
$0.03 per share compared to net income for the same period in 2010 of
$288,000, or $0.19 per share. The decrease of $394,000 in net operating
income for the first quarter 2011 compared to the same period in 2010
was comprised primarily of higher a loan loss provision partially offset
by higher net interest income and non-interest income.
George J. Guarini, Chief Executive Officer of the Bank, stated “We are
disappointed to report our first quarterly loss since early 2006. The
higher loan loss provision was primarily related to one loan, and is not
an indication of deterioration in the Bank’s loan portfolio. Our
non-performing assets as a percent of total capital remain well below
industry averages. We remain focused on maintaining strong credit
quality and liquidity.”
Penny Stocks are stocks traded for under $2 and they represent the small cap companies. They trade on the OTCBB so you will not find them on the major stock exchanges. They are very cheap stocks and normally come for businesses needing capital. They are a very risky investment as the business can go under and leave you with a stock worth nothing. However that being said penny stock trading can be a great money maker, and there are numerous traders who make 6 figures and more from them each year.
The best reasons to trade in penny stocks are the fact that they do not require a large initial investment, meaning that they are an affordable investment for many. Penny stocks are cheap. For example if you were to buy 1000 shares in a company with shares at 10 cents, you would only require an investment of $100, whereas if the shares cost $5 you would require an investment of $5000. Penny stocks also have the potential of huge gains, and have been known to rise as much as 1000% daily. Therefore your $100 investment can be worth $1000. This is very unlikely to happen to other stocks from large cap businesses.
