Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the sustainability of the 8.65% loan yield in a competitive rate environment.
- Monitor the trend in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, which rose to 4.72% and compressed the net interest margin.
- Review the composition of the loan portfolio, noting the significant increase in "Other real estate loans" and "Commercial and industrial loans."
- Assess the impact of the new title insurance venture and internet banking services on future non-interest income.
- Confirm the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses given the growth in the loan portfolio and the increase in the provision for loan losses.
