Editor's Note: The ratio of Distressed Assets to Total Capital Cushion is a variant of the famous Texas Ratio, which was widely used by US financial regulators to predict bank failure during the US Savings and Loan Crisis in the 1980s and early 1990s. The basic premise is that a bank with Distressed Assets greater than its Capital Cushion is in danger of insolvency, because a significant drop in the value of the Distressed Assets will eat into a significant amount of the bank's capital. For a more detailed discussion of this ratio, please visit a previous blog post: The Texas Ratio of Select Philippine Banks
Based on the individual Published Statements of Condition for the Philippine Commercial Banking Industry (from www.bsp.gov.ph), Total Distressed Assets of Philippine Commercial Banks increased by Php 3.746 billion or 0.65% from September 30, 2012 to December 31, 2012. This increase was compounded by a 4.83% increase in their Total Capital Cushion during the same period. As a result, the Ratio of Total Distressed Assets to Total Capital Cushion of Philippine Commercial Banks decreased by 2.91%, from 72.88% as of September 30, 2012 to 69.97% as of December 31, 2012.

This list only serves as a screening guide. It is not a definitive guide and must be taken in the context of other factors. The figures are based on the individual banks' Published Statements of Condition as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012 as published in the BSP website (www.bsp.gov.ph). For this analysis, no attempt was made to go through the audited financial statements of each bank. Readers are suggested to make their own investigations and verify the figures presented. Both BSP and PDIC have their own problem bank screening systems that are much more sophisticated in scope and design, given that they have more access to information over the banks they regulate.
