occupancy rates, and separately present owner-occupied and non-owner occupied CRE by
borrower type.
3.Additionally, we note your disclosure on page 22 that you have a significant concentration
in CRE loans and that adverse developments, including those affecting real estate values
in your market areas, could increase the credit risk associated with your CRE loan
portfolio. Please revise future filings to provide an enhanced discussion and describe the
specific details of any risk management policies, procedures or other actions undertaken
by management in response to the current economic environment in the markets in which
you operate.
