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.
- Unrealized securities loss is at least a quarter of equityAvailable-for-sale securities were $652,660,000 at fair value and $702,023,000 at amortized cost (FDIC fields SCAF and SCAA). The difference is an unrealized loss of $49,363,000, equal to 29% of total equity. We flag this at 25% of equity. It is not an FDIC limit. Held-to-maturity unrealized losses are not included, because this file does not publish a held-to-maturity cost we can subtract from fair value without guessing.
