In Brief: Troubled Calif. Lender Secures Line of Credit

EMB Corp.'s mortgage subsidiary has secured a warehouse credit line with Priority Bancorp, chief executive James Shipley said. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Mr. Shipley said last week that the line was for "several million" dollars.

EMB Mortgage has "not been immune to the security and liquidity problems" other mortgage companies have suffered in the past few months, he said, adding: "We are still in business."

The company has filed an extension for the release of its fourth-quarter and yearend earnings. They will be out by the end of February, Mr. Shipley said.
