Gwinnett Community Bank Duluth Georgia
is is Thomas Martin, he runs one of the worst banks in the country, he we was cited for hazardous lending?
This fat cat lost $3,746,000 in Q4 2011 alone
Thomas Martin wiped out 18% of the equity in the last 90 days
This fat slob is sitting $100,000,000 in junk loans, with only $17,000,00 in equity
Gwinnett Community Bank Duluth Georgia was founded in 1999.
This is Tom Martin
The company is on the problem bank list, as it entered into a cease & desist order with the FDIC. The were cited for engaging in unsafe and unsound lending practices and violations of the law! The bank has inadequate management, capital and earnings as well as practicing hazardous lending. Maybe that is why the Texas ratio is 277%.
This bankster is not going hungrey
Do you think the Martin’s should be replaced? It didn’t take long for the Martin’s to run this place into the ground. Maybe the Martin’s should be in jail for hazardous lending practices and violations of the law!
This cat should be CEO, can’t dumber than the Martin’s
The bank has $507MM in assets and $20MM in equity.
The problem loan portfolio is staggering in relation to the equity position. They have $67MM in bad loans with $52MM on non accrual.
With $99MM in problem loans and $17MM in equity, this place is bankrupt.
Why hasn’t this bank been shut down?
They are also under capitalized, with tier 1 risk based capitalization of 7.17%
For some reason they don’t want to post the financial statements on the website, I guess with numbers this bad, I wouldn’t either.
Are you letting the Martin’s have your money? They bankrupted this place
This is one of the worst banks in the country.

GWINNETT COMMUNITY BANK, DULUTH, GEORGIA (“Bank”), having been advised of its right to a NOTICE OF CHARGES AND OF HEARING detailing the unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law and/or regulations alleged to have been committed by the Bank and of its right to a hearing on the alleged charges under section 8(b)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“Act”), 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b)(1), and having waived those rights, entered into a STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST (“CONSENT AGREEMENT”) with a representative of the Legal Division of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Commissioner (the “Commissioner”) for the State of Georgia, Department of Banking and Finance (the “Department”), dated August 28, 2009, whereby solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying the alleged charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law and/or regulations, the Bank consented to the issuance of an ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST (“ORDER”) by the FDIC and the Commissioner.

(c) Operating with inadequate equity capital in relation to the volume and quality of assets held by the Bank;
(d) Violating regulations described on pages 9 and 10 of the FDIC Report of Examination dated February 23, 2009 (“Report”);
(e) Operating with an excessive volume of adversely classified and special mention assets;
(f) Operating with an inadequate allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”);
(g) Operating with an ineffective loan review and grading program;
(h) Operating with inadequate loan policies and following hazardous lending practices;
(i) Operating with inadequate liquidity and funds management in light of the Bank’s asset and liability mix;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the Bank, its institution-affiliated parties, and its successors and assigns take affirmative action as follows:
1. (a) Immediately upon the effective date of this ORDER, the Board shall increase its participation in the affairs of the Bank, assuming full responsibility for the approval of sound policies and objectives and for the supervision of all of the Bank’s activities, consistent with the role and expertise commonly expected for directors of banks of comparable size. This participation shall include meetings to be held no less frequently than monthly at which, at a minimum, the following areas shall be reviewed and approved: capital adequacy; liquidity; classified and criticized assets; reports of income and expenses; new, overdue, renewal, insider, charged-off, and recovered loans; investment activity; operating policies; and individual committee actions.

The Directors’ Committee shall receive from Bank management monthly reports regarding the Bank’s actions with respect to compliance with this ORDER. The Directors’ Committee shall present a report regarding the Bank’s adherence to the ORDER to the Board at each regularly scheduled Board meeting. Such report shall be recorded 3
in appropriate minutes of the Board’s meeting and shall be retained in the Bank’s records. Establishment of this committee does not in any way diminish the responsibility of the entire Board to ensure compliance with the provisions of this ORDER.

The notification to the Supervisory Authorities shall comply with the requirements set forth in 12 C.F.R. Part 303, Subpart F. The notification should include a description of the background and experience of the individual or individuals to be added or employed and must be received at least 60 days before such addition or employment is intended to become effective.

3. (a) Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall develop and adopt a capital plan that requires the maintenance of Tier 1 capital in such an amount as to equal or exceed 8 percent of the Bank’s total assets and total risk-based capital in such an amount as to equal or exceed 10 percent of the Bank’s total risk-weighted assets. Thereafter, the Bank shall maintain Tier 1 capital and total risk based capital ratios equal to or exceeding 8 percent and 10 percent, respectively, during the life of this ORDER.
(b) Within 30 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall develop and adopt a plan to meet the minimum risk-based capital requirements for a well-capitalized bank, as described in the FDIC Statement of Policy on Risk-Based Capital contained in Appendix A to Part 325 of the FDIC’s Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R.

(d) Any increase in Tier 1 capital and total risk based capital necessary to meet the requirements of this paragraph of the ORDER may not be accomplished through a deduction from the Bank’s ALLL. For purposes of this ORDER, the terms “Tier 1 capital”, “total risk based capital”, and “total assets” shall have the meaning ascribed to them in Part 325 of the FDIC’s Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. Part 325.
4. While this ORDER is in effect, the Bank shall not declare or pay any cash dividends without the prior written approval of the Supervisory Authorities.
REDUCTION OF CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT
5. Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall perform a risk segmentation analysis with respect to the Concentrations of Credit listed on the Concentrations page of the Report and any other concentration deemed important by the Bank. Concentrations should be identified by product type, geographic distribution, underlying collateral, or other asset
groups which are considered economically related and in the aggregate represent a large portion of the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital. A copy of this analysis shall be provided to the Supervisory Authorities. The Board shall develop a plan to reduce any segment of the portfolio which the Supervisory Authorities deem to be an undue concentration of credit in relation to the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital. The plan and its implementation shall be in a form and manner acceptable to the Supervisory Authorities.
6. (a) Within 10 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall eliminate from its books, by charge-off or collection, all assets or portions of assets classified “Loss” and 50 percent of all assets or portions of assets classified “Doubtful” in the Report that have not been previously collected or charged-off unless otherwise approved in writing by the Supervisory Authorities. If an asset classified “Doubtful” is a loan or lease, the Bank may, in the alternative, increase its ALLL by an amount equal to 50 percent of the loan or lease classified “Doubtful”. Elimination of any of these through proceeds of other loans made by the Bank is not considered collection by purposes of this paragraph.
(b) Additionally, while this ORDER remains in effect, the Bank shall, within 10 days from the receipt of any official Report of Examination of the Bank from the FDIC or the Department, eliminate from its books, by collection, charge-off, or other proper entries, the remaining balance of any asset classified “Loss” and 50 percent of those classified “Doubtful” unless otherwise approved in writing by the Supervisory Authorities.
7. Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Board shall review the adequacy of the ALLL and ensure the Bank’s written policy for determining the adequacy of the ALLL is comprehensive. For the purpose of this determination, the adequacy of the ALLL shall
be determined after the charge-off of all loans or other items classified “Loss”. The policy shall provide for a review of the ALLL at least once each calendar quarter. Said review shall be completed within 21 days of the end of each calendar quarter in order that the findings of the Board with respect to the ALLL may be properly reported in the quarterly Reports of Condition and Income. The review shall focus on the results of the Bank’s internal loan review, loan and lease loss experience, trends of delinquent and non-accrual loans, an estimate of potential loss exposure of significant credits, concentrations of credit, and present and prospective economic conditions. A deficiency in the ALLL shall be remedied in the calendar quarter it is discovered, prior to submitting the Reports of Condition and Income by a charge to the current operating earnings. The minutes of the Board meeting at which such review is undertaken shall indicate the results of the review. The Bank’s policy for determining the adequacy of the ALLL and its implementation shall be satisfactory to the Supervisory Authorities.
REDUCTION OF ADVERSELY CLASSIFIED ASSETS
8. (a) Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall formulate a written plan to reduce the Bank’s risk exposure in each asset, or relationship in excess of $750,000 classified “Substandard” or “Doubtful” in the Report. For purposes of this provision, “reduce” means to collect, charge off, or improve the quality of an asset so as to warrant its removal from adverse classification by the Supervisory Authorities. In developing the plan mandated by this paragraph, the Bank shall, at a minimum, and with respect to each adversely classified loan or lease, review, analyze, and document the financial position of the borrower, including source of repayment, repayment ability, and alternative repayment sources, as well as the value and accessibility of any pledged or assigned collateral, and any possible actions to improve the Bank’s collateral position.
(b) In addition, the plan mandated by this provision shall also include, but not be limited to, the following:
(i) A quarterly schedule for reducing the outstanding dollar amount of adversely classified assets including timeframes for achieving the reduced dollar amounts (at a minimum, the schedule for each adversely classified asset must show its expected dollar balance on a quarterly basis);
(ii) A schedule showing, on a quarterly basis, the expected consolidated balance of all adversely classified assets, and the ratio of the consolidated balance to the Bank’s projected Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL;
(iii) A provision for the Bank’s submission of monthly written progress reports to its Board; and
(iv) A provision mandating Board review of the progress reports, with a notation of the review recorded in the minutes of the meeting of the Board.
(c) The plan mandated by this provision shall further require a reduction in the aggregate balance of assets classified “Substandard” and “Doubtful” in the Report in accordance with the following schedule:
(i) Within 180 days, a reduction of twenty-five percent (25%) in the balance of assets classified “Substandard” or “Doubtful.”
(ii) Within 360 days, a reduction of forty-five percent (45) in the balance of assets classified “Substandard” or “Doubtful.”
(i) Within 540 days, a reduction of sixty-five percent (65%) in the balance of assets classified “Substandard” or “Doubtful.”
(ii) Within 720 days, a reduction of seventy-five percent (75%) in the balance of assets classified “Substandard” or “Doubtful.”
(d) The requirements of this paragraph do not represent standards for future operations of the Bank. Following compliance with the above reduction schedule, the Bank shall continue to reduce the total volume of adversely classified assets. The plan may include a provision for increasing Tier 1 capital when necessary to achieve the prescribed ratio.
(e) Within 60 days of the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall submit the plan to the Supervisory Authorities for review and comment. Within 30 days from receipt of any comment from the Supervisory Authorities, and after due consideration of any recommended changes, the Bank shall approve the plan, which approval shall be recorded in the minutes of the Board meeting. Thereafter, the Bank shall implement and fully comply with the plan. Such plan shall be monitored and progress reports thereon shall be submitted to the Supervisory Authorities at 90-day intervals concurrently with the other reporting requirements set forth in this ORDER.
