The iBank Monitor database has been updated with September 30, 2016 Call Report financial information as well as a re-fresh of all new regulatory enforcement actions and terminations. As a result, the iBank Monitor Watch List improved to 152 banks from 165 using the previous June 30, 2016 Call Report Data and 188 banks using March 31, 2016 Call Report Data. The total assets of Watch List banks declined to $56.4 billion from $56.8 billion at June 30, 2016 and $65.7 billion at March 31, 2016. The FDIC's September 30, 2016 quarterly report mentioned the existence of 132 "problem" banks with total assets of $24.9 billion, the identity of which is not publicly disclosed.
While the iBank Monitor Watch List contains 20 more banks than the FDIC's "problem" bank count, the difference is attributable to regulators' long standing delay in coordinating and terminating enforcement actions for banks and their holding companies. The existence of open/non-terminated enforcement actions against a bank or its holding company are automatic triggers for inclusion on the iBank Monitor Watch List.
The iBank Monitor Watch List was developed to provide a reliable source for detecting early warning signs due to delays and inconsistencies encountered in monitoring Public Regulatory Enforcement Actions against banks.
Ideally, Regulatory Enforcement Actions should be the early warning system, however, there have been several bank failures where none have been issued. Additionally, for many troubled banks which have demonstrated deteriorating trends over several quarters, the issuance of Public Enforcement Actions are not generally forthcoming.
To provide better and more timely information, we monitor bank information to detect any of the following qualifying events:
(*The Texas Ratio is the sum of non performing assets, including loans 90 or more days past due and OREO, divided by the bank's tangible equity plus loan loss reserves. Texas Ratio calculations do not include non performing loans which are government guaranteed.)
Note: You should not rely on these lists in making a determination of the financial health of a bank since circumstances are constantly changing. Further investigation should be made by reading the text of Enforcement Actions and analyzing detailed and current financial information.
