TriNovus Launches Stress Testing Solution For Community Financial Institutions
BankRisk Predicts Loan Portfolio Health Based On Adverse Economic Conditions

Birmingham, Ala., December 1, 2009 – TriNovus (http://www.trinovus.com/), a company focused on delivering relevant technology solutions to the financial marketplace, announced today the launch of BankRisk, a comprehensive stress test and risk management solution that proactively evaluates the effects of adverse economic conditions on a bank’s comprehensive loan portfolio.
TriNovus developed BankRisk as a tool for banks to utilize partly in response to the federal banking regulators’ concerns about community banks’ increased participation in commercial real-estate lending. Stress testing enables a bank to project future portfolio strengths and weaknesses based on hypothetical conditions that are imposed on the institution’s loan data. It quantifies the effect of adverse economic conditions and identifies problem areas for the bank in advance.

“BankRisk from TriNovus is a robust stress testing and risk management tool that every financial institution should implement,” said Dr. Tim Yeager, an associate finance professor at the University of Arkansas and the Arkansas Bankers Association Chair. Yeager, who was also an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and whose research lead him to develop a model for stress testing, consulted with TriNovus on the development of BankRisk.

Along with predicting the effect of potential adverse economic conditions on the loan portfolio, BankRisk will apprise banks of inherent risk exposure and allow the management team to effectively evaluate capital and liquidity needs while satisfying regulatory requirements.
“BankRisk fulfills a bank’s stress testing needs from start to finish,” said David Brasfield, chief executive officer of TriNovus. “BankRisk will use the bank's data to provide an in-depth quarterly analysis of the health of the loan portfolio under various economic conditions. The graphical reports are easy to interpret and provide the board and senior management team with the tools that they need to make the best decisions for the bank going forward,” Brasfield said.

Additional benefits of BankRisk include the ability to detect areas of high-risk loan concentrations and reduce exposure, make better-informed lending and refinancing decisions, and prepare more effectively for regulatory scrutiny.

“Today’s economic conditions are not tomorrow’s,” said Yeager. “BankRisk can help to offset the uncertainty of the future by providing the data needed to be best prepared.”

BankerMLS Adds Thousands of Properties To Bank Direct Foreclosure Website

New Additions Expand Website Footprint to 30+ States

Birmingham, Ala., September 23, 2009 – BankerMLS (www.bankermls.com), a web-based application designed to enable financial institutions to obtain maximum exposure and value for repossessed assets and to provide consumers with access to foreclosed properties direct from said financial institutions, today announced that it has added thousands of new foreclosed properties to its website. The new additions expand the BankerMLS footprint to 30 plus states and are a result of new contracts with several financial institutions.

David Brasfield, CEO of TriNovus, the company that developed BankerMLS, says they have seen a huge increase in website traffic recently and believes that it is due to the unique way that BankerMLS provides foreclosure information to the public.

“With BankerMLS, foreclosed property information becomes available to the public in the most expedient way”, said Brasfield. “The banks update BankerMLS themselves, meaning as soon as they have foreclosed properties available, they can immediately list them on BankerMLS.com.”

Brasfield went on to say that with BankerMLS, there is no courthouse retrieval lag time – every property is real time and the information is accurate because it is coming directly from the source.

Brasfield added, “With listings found on BankerMLS.com, you KNOW the seller is motivated.”
BankerMLS has also added a new feature where consumers can subscribe to a state specific RSS feed so they can be the first to know of new property listings in particular states of interest.
With foreclosure rates at continued record highs, Brasfield and the creators behind BankerMLS believe in the power of their solution to help banks to obtain relief from burdensome foreclosures while at the same time exposing consumers to quality real estate at a good price.
