Nevada Firm's Two Banks Amend Call Reports

Community Bancorp in Las Vegas said Monday that both its subsidiary banks had amended their call reports from last year to reflect additional, mostly credit-related, expenses.

At the request of the Federal Reserve Board, the company's $1.6 billion-asset Community Bank of Nevada increased its allowance for loan losses at Sept. 30 by $54.1 million. Of that amount, $40 million had been reported in the bank's Dec. 31 call report.

The Las Vegas bank also amended the yearend call report to reflect a $17.4 million increase in its provision for loan losses.

The $140 million-asset Community Bank of Arizona, in Glendale, amended its Dec. 31 call report to reflect a $10 million writedown of remaining goodwill.

The company said nearly all the tax benefits from these additional expenses were offset by the creation of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
