You are required to answer all these questions. Remember that elevator analysis is no analysis. By that I mean don’t just tell me that this increased or that decreased. Explain why even if there is not a follow up question that asks you do so.

I strongly suggest that you visit your bank’s web site and read information under Investor Relations tab for information that will help. At the very least read management’s comments in the 10K.

2. Describe the behavior of your bank’s ROA and ROE over the past three years. How does the performance of ROA and ROE relate to that of the peer group over this period based on the results on the Uniform Bank Performance Report, given the relationship ROE=ROA times the equity multiplier (asset/equity) has your ROE been driven more by changes in ROA or by changes in the equity multiplier?

6. How does your bank measure its interest rate exposure? What do the most recent measures show about the size of this exposure? If your bank wishes to reduce its interest rate exposure, what tactics might it use to produce such a result? Do you believe your bank is positioned for an increase in interest rates? Why or why not?
7. What is your bank’s current level of non-performing loans to total loans and has it been increasing or decreasing?How does it performance relate to the peer group? What factors have affected this over this time period? Describe any other credit risk ratios that affected the bank’s performance?
