Continued favorable interest rates helped Far West Financial Corp., the Newport Beach parent of Far West Savings & Loan Assn., post net income of $5.6 million for the first quarter ended March 31.

The company and its S&L;, which accounts for almost all of Far West Financial’s earnings and revenues, reported that revenues increased 25.8% to $79.4 million from $63.1 million.
