From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
FNB Financial Services Corporation (NASDAQ: FNBF)
("FNB"), parent of FNB Southeast (the "Bank"), announced today that
FNB is continuing its investigation of improper loans and other
transactions and activities in violation of certain policies and
procedures of the Bank undertaken by a former loan officer in the
Bank's Harrisonburg Region. Upon discovering these loans,
transactions, and activities in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, FNB
recorded a fraud loss of $250,000. During July and August of 2005, FNB
engaged in reviews of the loan portfolio of the former loan officer
through both the Bank's internal audit function and an independent
consulting firm. Based on these reviews, the Bank reclassified the
risk grades of certain loans in that portfolio with the result that
the Bank made special provisions to its allowance for credit losses of
approximately $900,000 during the first two months of the third
quarter. The Bank will continue to scrutinize the loan portfolio of
the former loan officer in order to determine if additional special
provisions are warranted in the future.
FNB has asserted a claim under its fidelity bond for potential
losses of approximately $1.2 million resulting from the conduct of the
former loan officer. In addition, with the consent of the issuer of
the fidelity bond, the Bank anticipates entering into a repayment
arrangement with the former loan officer under which the former loan
officer will agree to pay to the Bank an agreed upon amount and to
guarantee repayment of loans made by him to affiliated parties, and
will further agree to collateralize a portion of his repayment and
guarantee obligations. At this time, FNB is unable to predict with
certainty the amounts to be recovered or the timing of recovery from
its claim on the fidelity bond and/or under the anticipated repayment
agreement with the former loan officer.
