Western Commercial Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of WCB Holdings, Inc., recognized $51,000 and $204,000 in non-cash stock option compensation expenses, and provided $1,086,000 and $1,571,000 in loan loss provision for the three-month and year ended December 31, 2009.
At December 31, 2009, the Bank's allowance for loan losses was $2,594,000 or 2.63% of total loans (or 2.78% net of cash secured and government guaranteed loans), which Management considers prudent in this economy.
At December 31, 2009, the Bank's Tier 1 capital was 9.45% of total assets and its total risk-based-capital ratio was 11.14%, both considered in the well-capitalized category. The Bank has 10 non-performing assets for $13.9 million, which are all well-secured (or reserved) with one credit mitigated by a $5.3 million guarantee by the USDA. Of the 8 non-performing assets, there was one OREO for $970,000. The Bank sold one OREO for $1.7 million in December of 2009.
Carl W. Raggio, III, President and CEO, said, "The economy continues to be a major factor for the banking industry and certainly has had its affect on some of our loans. However, we strongly feel our reserves remain a strong cushion for the expected and continuing problematic economy. Our portfolio was underwritten very well and in most cases well-collateralized, even in these difficult times. We feel this will prove positive as we work through this difficult period."
The Company's Board has approved a $5 million preferred stock offering and has already injected into the Bank $900,000 from Board members and founders along with another $1,300,000 from other shareholders. As stated in an earlier press release, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with the DFI and FDIC and feels it is in substantial compliance with the Order which, amongst other requirements, calls for raising $1 million in capital.
The Bank must meet certain requirements in the Order which includes achieving a Tier 1 Capital to total assets ratio of 9.5% and reducing classified assets to no more than 50% of Tier 1 Capital plus the loan loss allowance. Management feels these ratios will be achieved.
