) (the "Bank") is pleased to report its results of operations for the second quarter of 2006. During the second quarter of 2006, the Bank recorded after tax earnings of $78,000 in a quarter which demonstrated 16% growth in net loans over the first quarter of 2006 and 119% growth in net loans over the second quarter of 2005. Deposit growth was relatively flat compared to the first quarter of 2006 and 69% above the second quarter of 2005.

 Franko, president and chief executive officer of Beach Business Bank, commented, "We are extremely proud to be able to report this strong growth combined with continued quarterly earnings for our Bank. Despite some large scheduled payoffs in the second quarter, the Bank funded a number of new loans during the quarter and our loan pipeline still looks good."

The Bank's deposit base in the quarter grew slightly, especially in core deposits. The Bank has realized more than $9.3 million in new capital since the beginning of the year from the exercise of warrants which had been attached to the initial and second stock offerings. As a result of this additional capital, the Bank has experienced significant liquidity to fund its loan growth. Having this liquidity has helped the Bank to control its funding costs in the face of rising rates.

On June 1, the Bank celebrated two noteworthy events, the second anniversary of the Bank's opening and the first day that the Bank's total assets exceeded $100 million. During the quarter, the Bank achieved nationwide preferred lender status with the SBA SBA

Since that celebration, the Bank has been developing key new relationships in Long Beach.
