Re: Crescent Banking Company
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004
File No. 0-20251
Dear Mr. Boggus:
We have reviewed your response letter dated June 30, 2005 and
have the following additional comments. Where indicated, we think
you should restate the financial statements in your Form 10-K and
subsequent Forms 10-Q in response to our additional comments.
Form 10-K
Financial Statements
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Loans, page F-10
1. Your response to prior comment 1 and your accounting policy
footnote disclosure state that you are recording loan origination
fees and direct loan costs recognized under SFAS 91 and SFAS 65
net
in the other expense section of your income statement. Under
paragraph 22 of SFAS 91, these items are required to be recognized
as
an adjustment to loan yield in interest income. Under paragraph
21
SFAS 65, these items are required to be deferred and recognized
when
loans are sold and are part of the resultant gain or loss on the
sale
of the loans. Please restate your financial statements to
appropriately include these items in the determination of interest
income or in the gain or loss on loan sales, as appropriate.
Accordingly, revise your accounting policy footnote.
2. Please refer to prior comment 1 and tell us the authoritative
basis, by reference to the specific accounting literature on which
you are relying, for reporting these costs net of salaries and
employee benefits. Also, tell us the specific nature of the
salaries
and benefits currently included in these costs
