City Bank (NASDAQ:CTBK) announced today that it has received a
Corrective Action Directive from the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) giving it until April 10 to raise additional
capital through the sale of shares or obligations so that it will
be "adequately capitalized." If that is not possible, the FDIC
directed City Bank to accept an offer to be acquired by another
depository institution.
The order also repeated restrictions already in place on
accepting or renewing brokered deposits, increasing its average
total assets, making dividend payments or opening new branches.
City Bank has been under a Consent Agreement with the FDIC since
June 2009 under which it agreed to a number of limitations. It has
taken a number of actions to reduce its non-performing loans, pay
down the level of brokered deposits and raise capital. The Bank is
continuing to aggressively reduce non-performing assets and as of
February 28, 2010, the Bank has additional signed purchase and
sales agreements representing 180 houses totaling approximately $48
million in construction loans. The Bank has repaid $52 million of
brokered deposits and public deposits in January and February, and
will repay another $50 million in March. As of February 26, 2010,
the Bank has $247 million of cash and cash equivalents and a $63
million federal income tax refund receivable, which totals $310
million of 90-day liquidity.
President and CEO Martin Heimbigner, who assumed his position in
January when founder and CEO Conrad Hanson retired, said City Bank
continues to look for ways to bolster its capital levels,
aggressively sell non-performing assets and pay down debt. "We are
continuing to talk and meet with investors across the country to
discuss a number of financing options.”
The following table summarizes the Bank’s restated capital
position as of December 31, 2009:

Restatement of 2009 Results
City Bank also announced amendments to its previously released
unaudited results for the fourth quarter of 2009 and the year ended
December 31, 2009. The revised net loss for 2009 totaled $119.50
million, an increase in the loss of $14.89 million from the $104.61
million originally reported on January 29, 2010.
The reasons for the revised net loss were an increase in the
provision for loan losses of $16.80 million and an increase in the
OREO valuation adjustment charged to expense of $2.33 million. The
provision for loan losses increased due to accounting rules that
apply when material subsequent events take place before the
publication of audited financial statements. These events include
the FDIC’s recently completed examination and receipt of updated
appraisals on loans and foreclosed real estate which reflected
lower collateral values. Income tax benefits were also adjusted to
reflect the effect of the revised pre-tax loss. See the Exhibit of
Selected Financial Information below for further detail on these
restatements.
Martin Heimbigner, President and CEO, commented, “The distressed
residential housing market continues to impact the bulk sale
discounted value reflected in the land appraisals that are required
to be used under regulatory accounting rules. Due to the distressed
values we have recorded for our building lots as required by GAAP,
we believe the intrinsic value of the Bank’s land is understated
compared to the value of the land with a completed house sold at
retail home prices.”
The Bank’s Capital Plan
The Bank has engaged an investment banking firm and is
continuing its efforts to raise additional capital. Our efforts
include a strategy to bulk sell assets to real estate investors
with a contemporaneous, linked investment in City Bank common stock
to recapitalize the Bank. Mr. Heimbigner commented, “We have
written down the carrying value of our real estate assets to a
level at which real estate investors may want to buy our assets
directly. As such, we believe that we have an opportunity to raise
capital based on the quality of the Bank’s real estate assets and
the intrinsic value of the building lots when a completed house is
constructed.”
Mr. Heimbigner commented, “We think the Pacific Northwest is
going to remain a popular place to live and do business, so we
believe the bulk sale of assets to investors with a linked
investment in City Bank may have appeal in the longer run," he
said. Heimbigner indicated that City Bank’s Tier 1 capital level
was 1.8 percent as of December 31. To fully comply with the FDIC
Corrective Action Directive, the Tier 1 leverage capital level
would need to increase by a minimum of $30 million, based on the
planned reduction in the Bank’s asset size to $1 billion by March
31. Further repayments of brokered deposits are planned to reduce
the asset size of the Bank to $900 million by June 30 and to $800
million by December 31.
“While these are challenging times, our employees have remained
fully engaged and our customers have also been supportive,”
Heimbigner said. “Depositors who have their money in FDIC insured
accounts remain fully protected.”
