“While no profit may have been made as that term is usually understood, such factor is not controlling in the definition of the term “doing business”; rather the criterion is whether or not the goal or aim is financial or pecuniary gain. [Citation], It should be clear that the commissioner in liquidating Marine was endeavoring to get the best price obtainable for its assets and to conduct its affairs in liquidation to the end that the most financial gain would be realized for its creditors and stockholders. The aim was pecuniary gain. It is true that no new deposits were accepted by plaintiff commissioner for Marine and that that is ordinarily the chief activity of a building and loan association, as a going concern, yet the transactions were of the nature typified as doing business.”
