Placerville-based El Dorado Savings Bank today reported net income of $10.9 million for 2010, a 2 percent increase over 2009.
The bank also said that 2010 marked its 22nd consecutive year without any foreclosed property on its books.
The bank’s 2010 financials were boosted by a strong fourth-quarter profit of $3.5 million, up about 66 percent from net income $2.1 million in the year-ago period.
“We are very pleased with the strong performance of the bank, especially considering the challenging economic environment and weak real estate market,” said Thomas Meuser, chairman and CEO.
Total assets as of Dec. 31 were $1.65 billion, essentially matching the year-ago total.
