The filing
Maine Community Bank runs the most efficient shop of the ten Maine banks between $1B and $3B, at 64.6% against a cohort median of 68.6%, and earns 1.15% on assets, fourth of ten. Loans grew 8.6% in the year to June 2026, against a median of 5.2%.
The book is 46.3% commercial real estate, ninth of ten against a median of 36.0%, and stands at 108% of deposits. Noncurrent loans are 0.46%, and the allowance covers them 1.4 times, ninth of ten where the median is 2.3 times.
Equity is 9.4% of assets, eighth of ten. A CRE-weighted book funded past its deposits, with the thinnest coverage in the group, reads differently under the 2008 to 2012 loss curves than in a benign year.
SBA 7(a), FY2008 to FY2026
