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 $443,185,000. Total risk-based capital (FDIC field RBC) was $347,702,000. Loans were 127% 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.
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.
