Prospect Bank (FDIC cert 3722) is a community bank — $744M in total assets, $542M in deposits, serving the Paris, Illinois area. Community banks make up the largest share of U.S. banks by count but a much smaller share by assets.

Capital position is adequate: Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.56% meets the 8% well-capitalized threshold but does not provide substantial buffer above it. Adequate capital is regulatory-acceptable but leaves less room for absorbing unexpected losses. Asset quality is normal: non-performing loan ratio of 1.03% sits in the typical 0.5-2% range for healthy U.S. banks. Some NPL is unavoidable in any meaningful lending portfolio. Liquidity is comfortable: 25.7% of assets in liquid form — sufficient to cover meaningful deposit-outflow scenarios without forced asset sales.

Profitability is negative: ROA of -0.47% 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. Prospect Bank carries a composite BankHealth grade of B (68/100) 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.
