Walton State Bank (FDIC cert 17982) is a community bank — $17M in total assets, $14M in deposits, serving the Walton, Kansas area. Community banks make up the largest share of U.S. banks by count but a much smaller share by assets.

Capital position is strong: Tier 1 capital ratio of 53.69% sits comfortably above the 8% well-capitalized regulatory threshold and the 10% well-capitalized-plus floor for community banks. Strong capital is the first line of defense against unexpected loan losses. Asset quality is elevated: non-performing loan ratio of 4.05% 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 very high: 50.5% of assets in liquid form, well above peer norms. Very high liquidity sometimes reflects a bank still building out its loan portfolio or one operating under specific regulatory liquidity requirements.

Profitability is negative: ROA of -0.55% means the bank lost money during the reporting period. Sustained negative ROA erodes capital and triggers escalating regulatory attention. Health-score trend is essentially stable across the recent-quarters window — the typical pattern for established banks operating in steady-state mode. Walton State Bank carries a composite BankHealth grade of B (66/100) 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.
