TransWorld Bancorp Rebounds From Loss

TransWorld Bancorp, the Sherman Oaks-based parent of Trans World Bank, bounced back with solid earnings in the third quarter after a year-earlier loss.

In the three-month period that ended Sept. 30, the bank reported net income of $764,000, compared to a $98,000 loss in the same quarter of 1993. For its nine-month period, the bank reported profit of $1.66 million, up 86% from $891,000 a year earlier.

The bank attributed the improved results to stronger interest margins and a lower loan loss provision. “Total assets, as well as asset quality, have improved substantially during 1994,” said David H. Hender, chief executive of TransWorld.
