Warning flags
These are factual readings from FDIC fields. A flag is a reason to read the number, not a finding that the bank is unsafe.
- Construction loans are at least 100% of capitalConstruction and land development loans were $206,440,000. Total risk-based capital (FDIC field RBC) was $146,164,000. Loans were 141% of that capital. Bank supervisors have used 100% as a level that deserves a closer look. It is not a legal limit, and it is not a statement that the loans are in trouble.
- Commercial real estate loans are at least 300% of capitalConstruction loans, multifamily loans, and other nonfarm nonresidential loans (not the owner-occupied ones) totaled $468,498,000, which is 321% of total risk-based capital. The 2006 supervisory guidance uses 300% as a level to look at more closely. From 2023-06-30 to this quarter, the same loan group was up 58%. That is at least the 50% growth the guidance also mentions.
Held-to-maturity unrealized losses are not flagged. The FDIC file does not publish a held-to-maturity cost that we can subtract from fair value without guessing.
