Regulatory Changes [Abstract]

REGULATORY CHANGES

(12) REGULATORY CHANGES

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements now administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency as successor to the OTS (see discussion above regarding “Regulatory Changes”). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory—and possible additional discretionary—actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct and material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
