IN RE: Community National Bank (Proposed) Waterloo, Black Hawk County, Iowa

Application for Federal Deposit Insurance (Bank Insurance Fund)

STATEMENT

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1815). an application for federal deposit insurance, with membership in the Bank Insurance Fund, has been filed on behalf of Community National Bank, a proposed new bank with a main office to be located at 422 Commercial Street, Waterloo, Black Hawk County, Iowa, and a branch office to be located at 2322 West 1st Street, Cedar Falls, Black Hawk County, Iowa.

The proponents have delineated Black Hawk County as the primary trade area of the proposed bank. A review of the proposed bank's CRA Statement and other available information indicates that no inconsistencies with the purposes of the Community Reinvestment Act appear to exist.

Initial capitalization is adequate, and acceptable deposit growth and operating profits within a reasonable period of time are projected. The factors relating to general character and fitness of management and risk to the deposit insurance fund have been resolved as favorable.

Accordingly, based on a careful evaluation of all available relevant facts and information, the Acting Associate Director, acting under delegated authority, has concluded that approval of the application is warranted.
