Item 7.01
|
Regulation FD Disclosure
|
Based on a review of the loan portfolio of Community West Bank (Bank), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Community West Bancshares, completed on May 19, 2011, we decided that the Bank should increase the allowance for loan losses. While the actual amount of the additional provision has yet to be formally determined, the Company believes it will be approximately $670,000. After the applicable income tax effect of $275,000, the approximate reduction to the Company’s Stockholders’ Equity would be $395,000. These amounts will be reflected in the Company’s operating results for the first six months of 2011. When the amounts are finalized, the Bank’s first quarter Call Report may be revised.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
