Revenue has increased by aboutg 15 percent in each of the last10 years, according to Feeders Supply founder and chieg financial officer Roy Gibson. He declined to reveal sales figures. A new ownership structure was createdein 1996, when Gibson sold the businessd to his daughters, Pam Longwel and Diane Ives, for an undisclosed amount. Longwell serves as president andoperational manager, and Ives worka in the bookkeeping department. Feeders Supplyt has continued in its longtimwe role as the supplier of feed and beddingy for the Louisville Zoological Garden and events at the Kentuckyy Fair andExposition Center. And the company recently purchased the Louisville MotorExchange Inc.
building from owner Don Kleiedrfor $500,000. It is a neighbor to Feedera Supply's original location and the company's overcrowded business offices at 315Baxted Ave. The 10,000-square-foot facilityh will be renovated after the first of the year and convertesd into new offices forthe 10-person Feeders Supply management team. Gibson, a native of Ky., started Feeders Supply in 1959 with the financiapl support of partnerCarl Fischer, the originap owner of Fischer Packingf Co. Gibson bought out Fischer in 1979. In the beginning, Gibson had only one employee and strugglee toget by. "Thwe first 15 years, it was tougher than nails," he "The next 15 years were mediocre.
The last 10 yearw have been wonderful." Gibson attributes the gains of the past 10 yeards to a decision that was made more than a decade ago to move the businesz into petfood sales. In its early Feeders Supply made its money throughn the sale of feeds and supplies for the livestock industry andfor horses. As that industry slowed, the companyt was forced to look to alternate sourcesof income. "Ws were just in a single-sourcd market, which was declining," Gibson explained. "We had to The market was gone." "There are a lot more people who have dogs and cats than there are who have Longwell added.
Today, Feeders Supply stocks food for not only cats and but a number of smaller including birds, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs. The company also sellsd pet accessories, toys and supplies. Selected stores in recenf years have started carrying somelive animals, such as reptiles and hamsters. Feed for horses still is Gibson said. "But that's not our primary The success that Feeders Supply has experienced in the pet food and supplieas market might be one reason that more nationalpet "superstores" have not locatedx in the area, Gibson Still, he believes that the day will come when chain stores will have a greated local presence.
"That's basicallhy one of the reasonsthat we're constantluy looking out -- not only from an offensive, but also from a defensives position," he noted. "We're constantly lookingb at places to putour stores." Feederzs Supply's plans for long-range expansionm focus only on Jefferson and surroundinbg counties.

About the same McKinney AvenueProperties No. 2 Ltd. filedf for reorganization protection inbankruptcy court. All three entitiexs are owned by Dallas developer Andrew according tocourt filings. Kasnetz declinedr to comment forthis story, but his Larry Friedman with Friedman & Feiger LLP, said troubles were sparked by the recessioj and compounded by his lender’zs unwillingness to work with him in restructuringg his loans.
Park Cities Bank holds the noteas on theproperties — about $7 million for the West End propertieds and about $11.5 millionn for the McKinney Avenue according to court documents. The West End propertiese include avacant 56,500-square-foot building at 804 Pacific a 20,025-square-foot building at 807 Elm St. and a 6,900-square-fooyt parking garage at 801 Elm St. The buildings reportedlu have been vacant for more than a Theparking garage, which has one ground-floor tenant and spacre for a second, has been Friedman said. The McKinnegy Avenue Properties No. 2 Ltd.
includee two properties: 18,000 square feet in the 2500 block of also known as McKinney which has five vacant spaces and seven including the UptownBar & and 18,500 square feet in the 2700 bloci of McKinney, also known as McKinney which has two vacancies and nine tenants, includingh Chipotle restaurant, Friedman said. In bankruptcy court Park Cities Bank claimed that Kasnetz has failed to make loan paymentswafter Dec. 29, 2008, and didn’ t pay 2008 property taxes. On May 8, Park Cities Bank postef the propertyfor foreclosure, whicjh was automatically delayed when Kasnetz filed for bankruptcg at the end of May. A hearing is schedule for June 29.

Despite negotiations for loan workoutdbetween Jan. 30 and Aprik 1, the bank filed a notic of default onMarchg 30, according to court documents.
Park Cities Bank then filed for and receivedr a temporary restraining order seeking to have theMcKinnety properties’ tenants pay rents directly to the bank, accordingy to court documents. Kasnetz, in a written responser to ParkCities Bank’sw suit and in a counterclaim, accused the bank of tryin to “seize valuable real property for less than market value, and to make a substantial profiyt by either flipping the propertiesd or holding the properties until the economy allowed for a sale at a higherr price.” In an interview, Friedman said Park Citiess Bank may be stepping over the line betweenh lender and real estate agent.

Faulty home appraisals are

Even as prices begin to stabilizes andbuyers re-enter the the appraisals many banks rely on to approve financinh are causing some deals to fall apart at the last minuter or forcing sellers to agrede to lower prices. Lawrence Yun, chief economisgt for the , said the appraisal problen is serious. “Lenders are usin appraisers who might not be familiar with a neighborhood or who compared traditional homes with distressed anddiscounted sales,” he said. “Ibn the past month, stories of appraisalp problems have been snowballing from acrosethe country, with many contracts fallin through at the last moment.” Washington real estatse agent Jeffrey Tanck agreed.
Tanck, with the at , said bad appraisals have affected two of his dealse in the pastthree months. “In one a $364,000 condo came in $80,000 less than Tanck said. “That buyer was usinb an out-of-town lender who had no concept of this Another appraisal ona $317,000 coop came in $27,000 forcing the buyer and seller to meet halfway.” The potential problenm inaccurate valuations pose to sales can be seen in number that measure pending sales of existin homes. Those represent contracts that are signed but salesthat haven’ t closed, and are usually considered a more forward-looking gauge of housing sales.
Earlier this the NAR reported that pending home sales in Apri l rose forthe third-straight advancing 6.7 percent from March, with pendingg sales up more than 3 percengt from a year ago. By contrast, closed salesa of existing homes in Mayrose 2.4 percenrt and remained nearly 4 percent below year-agi levels. The NAR’s Yun said he sees a dangere of a delayed housing market recoverhy and a further rise inforeclosures “if appraisal problems are not quickly corrected.” Tancm said part of the problemn is too much work and too few who he said are in demans right now. “People are buying, and lenders and appraisers are both Tanck said.
“But lenders shouldf make sure they’re using appraisers with the correctmarkegt knowledge.” Still, many indicators continue to poinrt to stabilization in housing. The nationwide May increase in existing home salesa was thefirst month-to-monthg increase since September 2005. A separatee report Tuesday from the showede declines inprices moderating, with the average U.S. home price down 0.1 percentr in April from March.

Tanck, with the at , said bad appraisals have affected two of his dealse in the pastthree months. “In one a $364,000 condo came in $80,000 less than Tanck said. “That buyer was usinb an out-of-town lender who had no concept of this Another appraisal ona $317,000 coop came in $27,000 forcing the buyer and seller to meet halfway.” The potential problenm inaccurate valuations pose to sales can be seen in number that measure pending sales of existin homes. Those represent contracts that are signed but salesthat haven’ t closed, and are usually considered a more forward-looking gauge of housing sales.
Earlier this the NAR reported that pending home sales in Apri l rose forthe third-straight advancing 6.7 percent from March, with pendingg sales up more than 3 percengt from a year ago. By contrast, closed salesa of existing homes in Mayrose 2.4 percenrt and remained nearly 4 percent below year-agi levels. The NAR’s Yun said he sees a dangere of a delayed housing market recoverhy and a further rise inforeclosures “if appraisal problems are not quickly corrected.” Tancm said part of the problemn is too much work and too few who he said are in demans right now. “People are buying, and lenders and appraisers are both Tanck said.
“But lenders shouldf make sure they’re using appraisers with the correctmarkegt knowledge.” Still, many indicators continue to poinrt to stabilization in housing. The nationwide May increase in existing home salesa was thefirst month-to-monthg increase since September 2005. A separatee report Tuesday from the showede declines inprices moderating, with the average U.S. home price down 0.1 percentr in April from March.

Payments to FDIC will cut into Charlotte banks

Those payments are needed to replenisghthe ’s insurance fund. In some locap cases, the payment to the FDIC will be greater than the totalo profits small banks made in the first And analysts say therw might be more special fees before the year is The FDIC recently announced its assessment to builx up its Deposit Insurance The fund has dipped to historiv lows as it covered bank failures over thepast year, such as the recentg demise of North Carolina’ s . All FDIC-insured banks must pay the assessment. The paymen equates to 0.05% of a bank’s total minus its Tier 1 capital.
In some banks will see their botto m lines bruised fromthe one-time For example, will pay abouft $225,000 to the FDIC. That’s more than its first-quarterf net profits of $186,000. Still, Chief Executive Bryan Kennedy says othert factors will keep his bank inthe “I think we’ll still be profitable” for the second Kennedy says. “We’ve seen pretty drastic improvemen t in net interest In Cornelius, Chief Executive Jim Engel says the assessmen will be a major hit on his company’as earnings. Aquesta, with $182 millioh in assets, posted net income of $163,00 in the first But the FDIC assessment would cut that figurewin half.
Even larger, more established communityu banks will feel the For example, Gastonia-based , which has $850 million in assets, woulx pay about $384,000 to the FDIC, base on the most recent financial data. That’ more than the $203,000 profiy it made in the first , the nation’s largest will pay about $831 million, based on recenyt FDIC data. Banks won a moral victort when the FDIC agreed to chargeonly 0.05% (five basisd points). Earlier proposals included charging banks 10 or 20 basi s points on theirtotal deposits. Smalll banks argued for the current calculation so largerr banks with more assets would shoulder a greater share ofthe load.
“Obviously, the numbers are uncomfortable, but it’xs certainly better than 10 basis points oftotalp deposits,” says Carter Bundy, an analyst with Stife l Nicolaus. “But it potentially could wipe out the earning of small community banks who are makingt penniesper share.” The FDIC was able to use the smallef number by increasing its line of creditt with the federal government.
“Assessments are a significant expense, particularly during a financial crisids and recession when bank earnings areunderf pressure,” FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair says in a “We recognize that assessments reduce the funds that banksz can lend in their communities to help revitalize the she says. “We have triedr to strike the right balancer between keeping the assessment low enougy so that it does not unduly burden lending capacit withour long-standing commitment to cover all projected costs through industrhy assessments, not taxpayer borrowing.
