The current dire situation of the bank: 1) The deteriorating financial condition of CBL has put the Bank in BSP’s Prompt Corrective Action (PCA). If there is no additional equity capital, that may mean the failure of the PCA, the eventual collapse of the bank, and the BSP shall be forced to shut it down. 2) CBL lacks qualified and aggressive management team 3) CBL needs to reorganize to strengthen operations;4) Management needs creativity in developing strategies to be more competitive;
Real situation: 5) Personnel lacks the appropriate training in their respective areas of operation6) Majority of the personnel are close to their “retirement” stage having worked with the Bank for more than 15 years;7) Reporting (particularly to the Board) and monitoring system is deficient despite the existence of policies;
Real situation: 8) Management lacks review of credit policies particularly on collateral free loans9) Shareholders up to the present time do not receive dividends; shareholders are concerned on the protection of their investments;10) There is a need to look for a market niche; new products need to be designed to complement the products of the primary coops
Real situation: 11) There are serious weaknesses in the bank’s organizational structure, manpower complement and the systems and procedures operating within the bank. 12) CAMELS composite rating is “2” which means that CBL has serious financial and managerial deficiencies resulting into unsatisfactory performance.
