Indebtedness is the balance of a 1,100M note originated 10-5-16 with principal and interest payable at $7,567 per month for 20 years. Purpose of the loan was to purchase an existing restaurant and add an indoor golf simulation bay. Source of repayment is from the operation of the bar. Loan was 78 days past due and payments have been extended five times since origination. A payment was made during the examination bringing the note current.
Purpose
6
Paym ent
The business continues to struggle financially. CPA-compiled financials as of 12-31-18 indicate a highly leveraged operation and reflect TA of 1,490M, TL of 1,610M, for a deficit NW of 120M. Assets are concentrated in net FA of 1,395M including various F&F and M&E. Liquidity is tight and was (14M). Operating income for 2018 shows a net loss of 100M on gross sales of 750M. Cash flow from operations available to service debt totals (35M). An unsigned and stale personal statement on the guarantor dated 11-15-17 adds minimal support and little liquidity with TA of 542M and NW of 145M. Cash was only 2M.
Payment

Protection
Collateral consists of a first REM on the commercial building located in Iowa City, Iowa along with a blanket security agreement covering general business assets. An appraisal performed on 9-2-16 indicates an “as is” value of 950M and an “as completed” value of 1,350M.
Protection

78 Days PD
The business was a new venture for Mr. Woods, who previously worked as a semi-professional golfer. The golf simulation bay closed last winter as Mr. Woods lost his contract with operator/servicer of the golf simulator. The entity struggles with employee turnover, unreliable suppliers, and pressure from existing competition. The operation continues to be unprofitable on a monthly basis and some suppliers are demanding cash upon delivery further limiting liquidity. President Mickelson now estimates the value of the property at 1,200M based on sales of similar properties. Due the to the apparent cash flow and liquidity issues, unprofitable operations, leveraged position, and marginal collateral coverage, the loan is classified Substandard. This is a downgrade from management’s internal Pass rating.

Reviewing and Classifying Loans
1
INDIVIDUAL LOAN FILE REVIEW As we work through the files and identify the 6 P’s of credit, we are looking for:
• Problem credits (may not yet be identified) • Past due loans (is management manipulating) •Credit documentation exceptions • Violations of laws/regulations/policies •Concentrations of credit • Evidence of self-dealing loan transactions
2
ASSET MANAGER DUTIES • Collect data from examiners working files to aid in identifying trends • Compare examiner classification to internal classification • Determine if adequate risk controls exist • Adequacy of policies, practices, controls, procedures, servicing, etc. • Nonaccrual guidelines • Risk rating system-early identification of risk
3
LOAN CLASSIFICATION DEFINITIONS Substandard Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
4
LOAN CLASSIFICATION DEFINITIONS Doubtful Loans classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
5
LOAN CLASSIFICATION DEFINITIONS Loss Loans classified Loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.
6
LOAN CLASSIFICATION DEFINITIONS Listed for Special Mention A asset listed for Special Mention has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution's credit position at some future date. Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
7
UNACCEPTABLE OR HIGH RISK LOANS • Illegal or illegal purpose • Speculative • Finance changing business ownership • Construction loans without firm takeout • Loans for new business ventures/venture capital loans • Nonamortizing term loans • Loan where source of repayment is not firmly committed • Loans on unmarketable securities • Unsecured loans for real estate purposes
8
UNACCEPTABLE OR HIGH RISK LOANS Other Considerations • Loans where management has no expertise • Loans that require special handling or controls • Abnormal amount of loans involving out of territory borrowers • Loans involving brokered deposits or link financing
9
ITEMS NEEDED TO REVIEW FILE
• Credit File Information • Financial Analysis
• Review and consideration of six “Ps” • Historical financial data and trends • Nature and degree of collateral • Capacity to retire debt in accordance with specified terms • Financial responsibility • Credit reports
10
ITEMS NEEDED TO REVIEW PORTFOLIO • External Credit File Information • Aware of bank’s service area and regional economy • Trend in the business’ industry • Bank management • Previous reports of examination • Prior examination loan decks • Loan committee minutes • Board reports and management information systems
11
COMMON RISKS IN LOAN PORTFOLIO • Self dealing loans • Anxiety for income or growth • Weak servicing • Incomplete credit information • Poor supervision • Complacency • Poor risk evaluation • Concentrations of credit • Subprime Lending
12
SOURCES OF REPAYMENT
• Conversion of current assets to cash • Sale of non-current assets • Replacing debt with debt - refinancing • Equity injection
13
SOURCES OF REPAYMENT

AssetQuality Analyzing and Rating Asset Quality
1
C A M E L S Asset quality (AQ) is one of the most critical areas in determining the overall condition of a bank. • The primary factor affecting overall asset quality is the quality of the loan portfolio and the credit administration program. • Loans typically comprise a majority of a bank’s assets and carry the greatest amount of risk to capital. • Securities, OREO, and other earning (or non) assets the institution may have on their books can also greatly affect AQ. Examiners should be diligent and focused when reviewing a bank’s assets, as they can significantly impact most other facts of bank operations.
*FDIC RMS Manual of Examination Policies
2
Why is AQ important? • Core earnings are reliant on the quality and earning ability of assets (i.e. accrual vs. nonaccrual; classifications’ impact on the loan loss provisions; impairment of securities). • Strong capital levels are excellent; however, quality assets are needed to ensure retained earnings are augmenting capital and that capital is being used as intended. • Poor asset quality continues to be a primary contributor in bank failures.
3
Analyze AQ • What are the loan reviewers' findings? • Was credit risk identification practices appropriate (examiner downgrades of credits)? • Were credit underwriting and administration weaknesses noted? • Amount and severity of technical exceptions. • Are the issues isolated or do they indicate a systemic issue? • What are the reasons for the issues? • Weak policies/procedures • Inadequate loan officer or credit administration staff training • Weak underwriting
4
Analyze AQ - Credit Administration • Level and severity of weaknesses identified. • Promptness of identification, correction, and taking measures for future prevention. • Accuracy of internal risk ratings. • Identifying and taking losses in a timely manner. • Accurate and timely reporting to senior management and Board.
5
Analyze AQ – Key UBPR Ratios and Pages • Average Total Assets – Summary Ratios Page
• Net Loans & Leases to Assets – Summary Ratios Page • LN&LS Allowance to Total LN&LS – Summary Ratios Page
• Total LN&LS-90+ Days Past Due and Nonaccrual – Summary Ratios Page • Problems Assets – Analysis of Past Due, Nonaccrual, and RTD Pages • Loan portfolio composition – Balance Sheet and Loan Mix Pages • Concentrations – Concentrations of Credit Page
6
Analyze AQ – Other areas to consider • Portfolio composition • Strategic and succession plans
• Policies and procedures • Overall bank credit culture • ALLL • Concentrations • OREO/OA • Securities portfolio
7
Considerations for AQ Rating – FDIC Manual • The adequacy of underwriting standards, soundness of credit administration practices, and appropriateness of risk identification practices. • The level, distribution, severity, and trend of problem, classified, nonaccrual, restructured, delinquent, and nonperforming assets for both on- and off-balance sheet transactions. • The adequacy of the ALLL and other asset valuation reserves. • The credit risk arising from or reduced by off-balance sheet transactions, such as unfunded commitments, credit derivatives, commercial and standby letters of credit, and lines of credit.
8
Considerations for AQ Rating cont. • The diversification and quality of the loan and investment portfolios. • The extent of securities underwriting activities and exposure to counter- parties in trading activities. • The existence of asset concentrations. • The adequacy of loan and investment policies, procedures, and practices. • The ability of management to properly administer its assets, including the timely identification and collection of problem assets. • The adequacy of internal controls and management information systems. • The volume and nature of credit documentation exceptions.
*FDIC RMS Manual of Examination Policies
9
Rating the asset quality factor • Like other components, the AQ rating is based on a 1 through 5 scale. • The asset quality rating definitions are applied following a thorough evaluation of existing and potential risks and the mitigation of those risks. The definition of each rating is as follows:
10
Asset Quality Rating - 1 A rating of 1 indicates strong asset quality and credit administration practices. Identified weaknesses are minor in nature and risk exposure is modest in relation to capital protection and management’s abilities. Asset quality in such institutions is of minimal supervisory concern.
11
Asset Quality Rating - 2 A rating of 2 indicates satisfactory asset quality and credit administration practices. The level and severity of classifications and other weaknesses warrant a limited level of supervisory attention. Risk exposure is commensurate with capital protection and management’s abilities.
12
Asset Quality Rating - 3 A rating of 3 is assigned when asset quality or credit administration practices are less than satisfactory. Trends may be stable or indicate deterioration in asset quality or an increase in risk exposure. The level and severity of classified assets, other weaknesses, and risks require an elevated level of supervisory concern. There is generally a need to improve credit administration and risk management practices.
13
Asset Quality Rating - 4 A rating of 4 is assigned to financial institutions with deficient asset quality or credit administration practices. The levels of risk and problem assets are significant, inadequately controlled, and subject the financial institution to potential losses that, if left unchecked, may threaten its viability.
14
Asset Quality Rating - 5 A rating of 5 represents critically deficient asset quality or credit administration practices that present an imminent threat to the institution’s viability.
15
Suggested AQ Comment This is a sample format and can be utilized as framework for an AQ comment. However, each examination is different and therefore, each AQ comment should be different. Utilize your state’s guidelines when writing AQ comments.
16
First Paragraph: • Translate the numerical rating to a qualitative statement of AQ (i.e. Asset quality is strong). • Adversely classified items ratio, comparisons to prior periods or exams as appropriate. • Narrate the major findings (underwriting weaknesses). • Composition of classified/criticized assets (loans, securities, OREO, etc.) and the
respective classifications (Substandard, Doubtful, etc.) • Internal classification/Watch List numbers, if necessary. • Level and trend of nonaccrual and past dues, if necessary.
17
Second Paragraph (Risk Rating Accuracy/Risk Identification Practices):
• Level and amount of examiner downgrades • Adequacy of internal loan grading system • Adequacy of independent loan review
18
Third Paragraph Address major findings. If none identified, then address acceptability of credit and loan administration practices.
19
Fourth Paragraph The level and trend of the ALLL as well as the methodology associated with it. • This will likely change to ACL in the near future.
20
Subsequent Items to Consider • Concentrations • OREO • Investment portfolio • Off-balance sheet items
• Internal controls and management information systems • Adequacy of loan and investment policies, procedures, and practices
21
AM Duties – Quick Overview • Scope loans/OREO for examiner review • Follow-up on prior examination findings/recommendations/violations. • Review Loan Committee Minutes • Review Loan/Lending Policy and other lending policies, if needed. • Review UBPR/Call Report information in regards to AQ • Review completed linesheets from credit examiners. • Compile and review AQ related findings/recommendations/violations.
• Participate in individual loan discussions, if necessary. • Update management on exam related AQ findings. • Prepare AQ comment and report pages.

Loan Classifications – Discussion STUDENT INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW OF EXERCISE The Line Deck consists of 20 lines. Students should plan on spending up to 8 hours outside of class time between now and the beginning of next Tuesday’s session in reviewing these lines. On Tuesday, 6/21, we will break into your groups for review as a group. On Wednesday, 6/22, students, in the group setting, will be discussing the lines with instructors. The instructors will be playing the part of the loan officer responsible for the credit. 1. A rating (Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, or Loss) will be assigned to each line on the Loan Classifications link. 2. Each student will then write a bullet points writeup using the Loan Write-Up Bullet Points link for one classified line. 3. Lastly, students will complete the Self-Evaluation link. 4. All three of the above links are to be completed no later than 10 AM Eastern on Thursday, 6/23. OBJECTIVES 1. Determine which loans should/should not be discussed with the loan officer. 2. Choose pertinent questions (based on 6Ps) to ask the loan officer regarding each loan to be discussed. 3. Rate loans properly based on discussion and evaluation of loan quality. 4. Evaluate communication skills. * The accuracy of your ratings decisions and communication skills will be evaluated by the instructors. PREPARATION Students will first look through all 20 lines individually and identify the 6Ps for each line. Once students are placed into groups on Tuesday 6/21, the group should use the time to briefly review the lines together and determine which lines need to be discussed with the loan officers. The students will then, as a group, formulate questions for those lines which need clarification and discussion with the loan officers. Students should be prepared to discuss any of the loans in the line deck. GUIDELINES FOR DISCUSSION • Each instructor will act as a loan officer, responsible for specific lines in the deck. The instructors will inform the students which loans are handled by each of the loan officers. • Students should be prepared to discuss any of the loans in the deck. • Each group member must discuss at least one loan before any group member can discuss a second loan. • The group must agree on the loans to be discussed. If a group member wants to discuss a loan that the rest of the group does not want to discuss, that loan may be discussed only if time allows. DISCUSSION AND LOAN RATING MECHANICS The group will have 20 minutes with each loan officer to discuss that loan officer’s lines, followed by a 10-minute break, part of which should be used to finalize any notes taken during the discussion. This will be repeated for four rounds (each group with each loan officer).
Loan Classifications – Discussion STUDENT INSTRUCTIONS
LOAN RATING DECISIONS Immediately following your group’s completion of all four rounds of discussion, you as an individual should complete the Loan Classifications link. Assign a rating (Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, or Loss) to each line in the deck. Justify/support each decision made using 2-3 bullet points. Remember, these are individual rating decisions. Each group may also hear different explanations/comments regarding the lines discussed, so discussion with other groups should be avoided when making a final rating decision. BULLET POINT WRITEUP FOR A CRITICIZED LINE Each student should choose one loan to complete a bullet point writeup on using the Loan Write- Up Bullet Points link. Remember that only classified lines (Substandard, Doubtful, Loss) are to be written up (examiners do not write up Pass lines). LOAN DISCUSSION SELF-EVALUATION Each student should complete the Loan Discussion Self-Evaluation link.
CRITICIZED AND CLASSIFIED LOAN RATING DEFINITIONS
SPECIAL MENTION A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the institution sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Key Characteristics: • Improper loan structure • Inadequate loan agreements or covenants • Incomplete or inadequate documentation to adequately monitor the loan • Lack of control over collateral SUBSTANDARD Loans classified Substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Key Characteristics: • Negative trends in – Cash Flow; Profitability; Net Worth; Liquidity; Leverage • Significant deviation from the original repayment source • Numerous extensions and/or renewals • Diversion of repayment funds • Delinquency • Failure to clean up a short-term operating line • Whenever debt is carried over without sufficient reason
DOUBTFUL Loans classified Doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Key Characteristics: • Weaknesses noted for loans classified Substandard and not readily identified Loss • Undetermined value of collateral LOSS Loans classified Loss are uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may occur in the future. Key Characteristics: • No readily identifiable source of repayment (cash flow or liquidation of collateral) • Not well secured and not in process of collection • Severe delinquency

Items Subject to Adverse Classification SAMPLE WRITEUP Includes assets and off-balance sheet items which are detailed in the following categories: Substandard Assets - A Substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful Assets - An asset classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loss Assets - An asset classified Loss is considered uncollectable and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future. CATEGORY AMOUNT, DESCRIPTION AND COMMENTS Substandard Doubtful Loss 1,045 78 Days PD 1,045 THE 19 TH HOLE, INC. By: Tiger Woods, President Gty: Tiger Woods Business operates as a local bar/restaurant/indoor golf simulation. Indebtedness is the balance of a 1,100M note originated 10-5-16 with principal and interest payable at $7,567 per month for 20 years. Purpose of the loan was to purchase an existing restaurant and add an indoor golf simulation bay. Source of repayment is from the operation of the bar. Loan was 78 days past due and payments have been extended five times since origination. A payment was made during the examination bringing the note current. The business continues to struggle financially. CPA-compiled financials as of 12-31-18 indicate a highly leveraged operation and reflect TA of 1,490M, TL of 1,610M, for a deficit NW of 120M. Assets are concentrated in net FA of 1,395M including various F&F and M&E. Liquidity is tight and was (14M). Operating income for 2018 shows a net loss of 100M on gross sales of 750M. Cash flow from operations available to service debt totals (35M). An unsigned and stale personal statement on the guarantor dated 11-15-17 adds minimal support and little liquidity with TA of 542M and NW of 145M. Cash was only 2M. Collateral consists of a first REM on the commercial building located in Iowa City, Iowa along with a blanket security agreement covering general business assets. An appraisal performed on 9-2-16 indicates an “as is” value of 950M and an “as completed” value of 1,350M. The business was a new venture for Mr. Woods, who previously worked as a semi-professional golfer. The golf simulation bay closed last winter as Mr. Woods lost his contract with operator/servicer of the golf simulator. The entity struggles with employee turnover, unreliable suppliers, and pressure from existing competition. The operation continues to be unprofitable on a monthly basis and some suppliers are demanding cash upon delivery further limiting liquidity. President Mickelson now estimates the value of the property at 1,200M based on sales of similar properties. Due the to the apparent cash flow and liquidity issues, unprofitable operations, leveraged position, and marginal collateral position, the loan is classified Substandard. This is a downgrade from management’s internal Pass rating. President Mickelson disagrees with the assigned classification. He stated the operation is gradually gaining in popularity among the younger clientele, and he believes the operation can return to profitability in the next three to five years. President Mickelson believes that Mr. Woods’ relatives are providing funds for working capital in the daily operation and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
