Beach Business Bank Reports Profitable Quarter and Strong Loan Origination

Beach Business Bank (OTCBB: BBBC) (the "Bank") is pleased to report its results of operations for the third quarter of 2006. During the quarter, the Bank recorded after tax earnings of $263,000 in a period which demonstrated 21.9% growth in net loans over the previous quarter, and 156.7% growth in net loans over the same quarter of the prior year. Deposit growth was 18.3% over the previous quarter, and 118.0% over the same quarter of the prior year. Total new loan commitments in the quarter amounted to almost $40.0 million.

Robert Franko, president and chief executive officer of Beach Business Bank, commented, "As a de novo bank, we are extremely proud to be able to report four quarters in a row of profitability, combined with strong organic loan growth in a very competitive market. Despite large scheduled payoffs in the third quarter, the Bank funded a number of new loans, generating business from our target small business marketplace. Our success is a function of the Board and management's focus on the performance metrics that have driven this Bank since inception. We strive to generate long-term profitability for our shareholders by delivering a valuable service to our clients. We are gratified that so many of our clients are also our shareholders."

The Bank's deposit base in the quarter grew about $12 million or about 18.3% over the prior quarter. The Bank is still in the process of deploying a substantial capital base. Because the Bank continues to have significant liquidity to fund its loan growth, management has been able to control its funding costs in the face of rising rates, with net interest margin for the quarter of 5.28%.

During the third quarter, the Bank continued to deploy its Image Deposit product, which can process up to 40 checks a minute, allowing the deposit to be securely transmitted to the Bank in seconds. While the initial installations were in doctors' offices, a number of deployments in the third quarter were made in manufacturing and service business locations. Without exception, the product has been warmly accepted and quickly employed. The Bank expects to continue to roll this product out to its existing and new deposit clients.

Also during the quarter, the new Long Beach branch office realized a significant increase in deposit and loan activity.

For the third quarter, the Bank reported a Net Profit after Provision for Loan Losses of approximately $263,000. The Bank's Provision for Loan Losses in the third quarter was $276,000, so that as of September 30, 2006, the Allowance for Loan Losses now stands at $1,505,000, or 1.53% of total loans. As of September 30, 2006, the Bank had no non-performing assets and no loans 30 days or more past due. Other selected financial data is included in the table below.
