At this level, the Allowance for Loan Losses is adequate in light of the bank's low level of non-performing loans of $1.0 million compared to $1.9 million at December 31, 2012. Deposits ending December 31, 2013 increased from prior year by $7.1 million or 6.7%. Core deposits represent 93% of total deposits and demand deposits representing 36% of total deposits.

The board of directors of the company continues to explore a capital raise. New capital will be utilized to satisfy thepayment of unpaid dividends on the debt securities due by June 2014. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds will be invested into the subsidiary bank to supplement current capital levels and bring the Tier 1 Leverage ratio in excess of 9.0%, in satisfaction of required capital levels by the regulator.

* I do not hold shares of CTBP at this time nor do I plan to anytime soon. I do however want to investigate the subordinated debt accrued & unpaid dividend situation.
