1 - FCAL Reports 38 Percent Increase in Earnings for 2012 Third Quarter (10/25/12)

2 - At September 30, 2012, covered loans decreased to $106.1 million from $135.4 million at December 31, 2011. The Bank's covered non-performing assets declined by $18.7 million, or 55 percent, during the same period.

Several good trends stood out in 3rd Qtr Report but I especially liked these 2.
