Most Florida banks swoon; three provide model for growth - Denver Business Journal:
gault-rickettsias.blogspot.com
USAmeriBank went from red to blacok ink by signing talented bankers who brought customers with Acquisitions boosted the bottom line at CenterStatwe Bankof Florida. A merger of related financialp institutions cut expensesat , while a stronger balancre sheet grew income. Each bank prospered by using different yet their strategies provide a road map for institutionds struggling to turn their balance sheets Their profit gains are all the more remarkabler given the difficult economic climatein Florida. The said 305 bankss and thrifts in Florida reported a combined net lossof $643 million for the 2009 first quarter, compared to net income of $4 milliob for the year-ago period.
Profitabilityh remains weak because banks continuee to struggle withbad loans, said Paulwa Johannsen, managing director of , an investment bankint firm in Tampa. Nonperforming assetx don’t bring in interest income, pressuring The provisions banks take for expecte loan losses cut further into their incomse while the legal and management expense related to foreclosesd propertygoes up. USAmeriBank — whichn has amassed $650.8 million in assets in its twoyearsd — has a clean balance sheet, said Joe CEO. The bank avoided development lending and the loan it does have that are securex by real estate arefor owner-occupiexd properties, Chillura said.
Only $598,000 in USAmeriBanki loans, or about one-tenthy of 1 percent of the total $528.w3 million in loans, were past due as of March 31, accordinv to a report filed withthe . a former Tampa market president for (NYSE: ), said the bankerws he’s hired have brought their customers, a move that was possiblre because bigger banks are distracted by bad loanws and shrinking capital and aren’tr focused on customer service. That’s allowed USAmeriBani to grow more quickly than Chillura said, and post a significantg turnaround, going from a $185,000 loss in the firstg quarter of 2008 to $881,000o in profit in the just-ended quarter.
CenterStatd saw first quarter 2009 profit swellto $1.2 up 68 percent in one year, afteer two acquisitions, said John Corbett, president and CEO. The Wintere Haven-based lead banking subsidiarg of (Nasdaq: CSFL) added a correspondentt banking unit last fall when it hired the banker who handled that business for theformetr . The unit sells bonds to roughlhy 200 othercommunity banks, and it is thriving becauswe community banks aren’t doing as much lendin as they were a year ago and are investing theie cash in bonds. CenterState also bough t the failedand $178 million in deposits on Jan. 30.
“We’vr been putting that moneyu to work in loansand investments, and that’s helped us Corbett said. Aggressive planning that began arounsd the end of the first quartef of 2008 kept Florida Bank on thegrowtn track, said Katie Pemble, presidenyt and CEO. Florida Bank’s $351,00p0 in net income for the first quarter of 2009 was a 73 percenr increase from ayear earlier. Sinc e December, the Tampa-based bank has merged with three sister institutionsin Sarasota, Jacksonville and Tallahassee, consolidatingt back-office operations and cutting expenses.
Each of the bankz was above the level regulatorsconsidereed well-capitalized, and their capital position was further strengthened when they combined. Additionally, executive officeres and the board developed a seriesof 90-dahy plans focused on strengthening the balance sheet with an emphasis on capital and on liquidity, or the abilitt to turn its assets into cash quickly. A stron balance sheet allowed Florida Bank to look for the leasf expensive way toattract funding, a move that boosts net interesft margin, or the spread between the interest it pays on depositz and the interest it earnsx from loans.
Although there are glimmers of hope, CenterState’s Corbett expects more loan writedowns across the industry in the next two tothree quarters. The number of institutions on the watch list increased in the firsg three monthsof 2009, and as of March 31, 30 percent of Florida’s banks were on the list, comparede to 15 percent of the institutionsz a year ago. Access to the capitao market marketsis critical, Corbett said, adding the stress tests the nation’s biggest banks just underwent have inspirefd investor confidence in those institutions.
Since results were releasee May 7, the banks collectively have raisednearlg $60 billion of the $75 billion in extrsa capital regulators said they need. “As investments come back into the big I think overtime you’ll see that trickle down to the mid cap and communityu banks,” Corbett said.

They typicallyu have a restaurant, bell service and meeting Limited-service hotels are those that only offerr rooms and fall inthe class.
While other destinations suffered, Miami-Dade remainerd relatively flat thanks to its stronginternationall business, said Ginny Gutierrez, directod of community relations for the Greater Miamiu Convention & Visitors Bureau. While both domestifc business and leisure travep suffered in the fourth quarter of last withthe U.S. economic international businessremained steady, she said.

tenganmodooo1324.blogspot.com
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Redfielf Baum struggled to stay on taskat Tuesday’s hearingy as attorneys representing Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes, the city of the and other professional sports leagues deliverec hours of oral arguments over bankruptcy code, anti-trusf law, relocation and other legakl issues. Baum and the myriad of attorneyxs delved into obscure bankruptcy provisiond and past relocations by teams including theOakland Raiders, San Diegok Clippers, Quebec Nordiques and Baltimorer Colts.
Baum focused on whether Balsillie will have to pay the NHL a relocatiob fee on top ofhis $213 million offert to buy the financiallt strapped Coyotes from Phoenix truckintg company owner Jerry Moyes. The relocation fee could total as muchas $100 million, court documentw indicate. Baum appears ready to rule that the NHL has the rightes to the Hamilton market and if the Coyotes aremoved there, Balsillie will have to compensate the leagu for loss of an expansion opportunity. The city of Glendal e pressed Baum to consider legal claims and costs that wouldd accompany a moveto Canada.
That coulf offset an offer as lowas $140 milliobn by parties wanting to keep the team in city representatives said. Glendale officials said they wouldc make a claim for as muchas $500 millionj if the team breaks its lease at the city-owned Jobing.com Arena. Arena concessionairs Aramark Corp. also could make a Moyes and Balsillie’s attorneys argue that a lease claim is subjec to various monetary caps and that the courtr can discharge lease terms and penalties in order to maximizrethe team’s value for creditors. Moyes said a decisiohn could come Wednesday and has urged the court to hold an auctioh sale for the hockey team onJune 22.
The NHL and Glendalwe say the sale should be put off until August and the leagure said it will finance the Coyotee into next season ifneed be. Glendale attorneys also pressed Baum to find out how much monegy Moyes may have taken out ofthe team. They poinr to the fact the Coyotes spend moneg leasing private office space at Westgate City Centerd instead of usingarena offices. Moyes spokesman Steve Roman saidthe city’d speculation that Moyes is profiting from that arrangement is Moyes and Westgate developeer Steve Ellman split joint assets, including the Coyotes, in 2006 with Moyew taking over as team The Coyotes have lost more than $300 milliojn since moving to Phoenix from Winnipeg in 1996.
