First Fs&La (FDIC cert 29005) is a community bank — $24M in total assets, $18M in deposits, serving the Centerburg, Ohio area. Community banks make up the largest share of U.S. banks by count but a much smaller share by assets.

Tier 1 capital ratio is not disclosed in the most recent Call Report — unusual but possible for new institutions or those filing under specific regulatory exemptions. Asset quality is elevated: non-performing loan ratio of 3.96% runs above 2%, suggesting the loan book carries more credit risk than peer banks. Elevated NPL can reflect specific portfolio concentrations or broader credit-cycle pressure. Liquidity is comfortable: 28.7% of assets in liquid form — sufficient to cover meaningful deposit-outflow scenarios without forced asset sales.

Profitability is negative: ROA of -0.11% means the bank lost money during the reporting period. Sustained negative ROA erodes capital and triggers escalating regulatory attention. Health-score trend is declining materially over the most recent quarters. Declining trends warrant attention — banks in this pattern often face follow-on regulatory engagement and elevated supervisory scrutiny. First Fs&La carries a composite BankHealth grade of F (31/100) as of the 2024-06 Call Report filing. The grade combines capital ratios (Tier 1), asset quality (non-performing loans), liquidity, and profitability into a single signal.
