AmericasBank Corp. Reports Continuing Improvement in Results for First Quarter of 2005.

TOWSON, Md. -- AmericasBank Corp. (OTCBB:AMBB), the parent company of AmericasBank, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, which again included a reduced quarterly loss and advances the company's turnaround plan another step closer to its goal of achieving profitability.

The company reduced its net loss to $152,507 or $(0.04) per basic and diluted common share for the quarter ending March 31, 2005, compared to $404,483 or $(0.28) per share for the period ending March 31, 2004.

The net loss in each reported period included a charge to salary expense for stock-based compensation as the company voluntarily adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation effective January 1, 2005. Excluding this charge, the net loss in the first quarter of 2005 would have been $111,784 or a 69.2% improvement over the previously reported net loss of $363,060 for the first quarter of 2004.

Loans and leases, net of allowance, at March 31, 2005 were $33.2 million, up 6.4% from $31.2 million reported at December 31, 2004, and 118.2% above $15.2 million a year ago at March 31, 2004. Total deposits were $41.8 million at March 31, 2005, up 20.8% from December 31, 2004.

"We had good loan growth on a linked-quarter basis as well as year-over-year, predominantly in our commercial lending and real estate loan portfolios," said President and CEO Mark Anders. "This growth is being supported by an improved operational infrastructure we put in place in the second half of last year as the foundation for our ongoing expansion. Progress thus far is consistent with the ramp-up of our business plan that focuses on local professional services businesses in our core markets and in mortgage lending."

"We see healthy demand for our products and services. In response to this demand, we continue to look for opportunities to add to our lending team and anticipate hiring additional experienced commercial bankers and mortgage loan originators as our profitability improves and our opportunities expand," said Anders.
