REGULATORY MATTERS
 
Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Since the Company is a one bank holding company with consolidated assets less than $500 million, regulatory minimum capital ratios are applied only to the Bank. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.
 
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If a bank is not well capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. Subject to limited exceptions, a bank may not make a capital distribution if, after making the distribution, it would be undercapitalized. If a bank is undercapitalized, it is subject to being closely monitored by its principal federal regulator, its asset growth and expansion are restricted, acquisitions, new activities, new branches, payment of dividends or management fees are prohibited and plans for capital restoration are required. In addition, further specific types of restrictions may be imposed on the Bank at the discretion of the federal regulator. The Bank was in the undercapitalized category at December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, through earnings and a $25,000 capital contribution from the Company, the Bank achieved a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.04%; four basis points above the required level to be in the adequately capitalized regulatory category. At September 30, 2013, the total risk-based capital ratio of the Bank had risen to 8.46% and the Bank continues to be adequately capitalized.
 
Actual capital amounts and ratios for the Bank and required capital amounts and ratios for the Bank to be adequately capitalized and to be at the level mandated by the Consent Order at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were:

Federal Reserve guidelines limit the amount of allowance for loan losses that can be included in Tier 2 capital. In general only 1.25% of net risk-weighted assets are allowed to be included. At September 30, 2013, only $1,684,905 was counted as Tier 2 capital and $1,185,131 was disallowed. At December 31, 2012, $1,728,314 was counted as Tier 2 capital and $1,654,663 was disallowed.
 
The Bank’s Consent Order with the FDIC and the DIFS, its primary banking regulators, became effective on September 2, 2010. The Bank agreed to the terms of the Consent Order without admitting or denying any charge of unsafe or unsound banking practices relating to capital, asset quality, or earnings. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on the Bank. The Consent Order will remain in effect and enforceable until it is modified, terminated, suspended, or set aside by the FDIC and DIFS.
 
The Consent Order required the Bank to implement a written profit plan, a written contingency funding plan, a written plan to reduce the Bank's reliance on brokered deposits, a comprehensive strategic plan; and to develop an analysis and assessment of the Bank's management needs. Under the Consent Order, the Bank is required to maintain higher capital levels than requested under prompt corrective action and the Bank may not declare or pay any dividend without the prior written consent of the regulators.
 
Prior to the issuance of the Consent Order, the Bank's Board of Directors and management had already commenced initiatives and strategies to address a number of the requirements of the Consent Order. The Bank continues to work in cooperation with its regulators. Our ability to fully comply with all of the requirements of the Consent Order, including maintaining specified capital levels, is not entirely within our control, and is not assured. Our ability to comply with the requirements of the Consent Order may be affected by many factors, including the availability of capital and other funds, the extent of repayment of loans by borrowers, declines in the value of collateral including real estate, the Bank's ability to realize on collateral and actions by bank regulators. Failure to comply with provisions of the Consent Order may result in further regulatory action that could have a material adverse effect on us and our shareholders, as well as the Bank.
 
There were several directives related to loans contained in the Consent Order. All action plans were submitted to the FDIC as required. As of September 11, 2013, action plan submission is no longer required; however management continues to update plans as needed and works diligently to mitigate and reduce associated credit risk.
 
Under the Consent Order, the Bank was required, within 90 days of September 2, 2010, to have and maintain its level of tier one capital, as a percentage of its total assets, at a minimum of 8.5%, and its level of qualifying total capital, as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, at a minimum of 11%. The Bank was not in compliance with this requirement at September 30, 2013 or either December 31, 2010, 2011 or 2012. Management continues to explore options to raise the capital required for full compliance. At September 30, 2013, a capital contribution of $6,534,000 would have been needed to meet the capital ratios specified in the Consent Order.
 
Under the Consent Order the Bank is restricted from declaring or paying dividends without prior written authorization of the FDIC. The Bank is in full compliance with this restriction.
 
As required by the Consent Order, the Bank adopted a detailed liquidity plan on November 17, 2010 which provided for intended liquidity sources to meet the Bank’s assessed liquidity needs over the time horizons of 6, 12 and 18 months. The liquidity plan was meant to address the stipulation in the Consent Order that prohibited the Bank from accepting brokered deposits. To meet this restriction, the Bank’s liquidity plan entailed replacing maturing brokered deposits with a combination of local deposits and internet based time deposits. Since the beginning of 2010, the Bank has successfully used this strategy. There were no brokered deposits outstanding at September 30, 2013. The Bank has been able to maintain sufficient liquidity for its required payments despite the restriction on issuing brokered deposits.
 
On August 17, 2011, the Bank was issued a Supervisory Prompt Corrective Action Directive (the “Directive”) because of its undercapitalized capital category at December 31, 2010, its failure to submit a capital restoration plan that satisfies the requirements stipulated in the FDIC Rules and Regulations, and the continued deterioration of the Bank. The Directive stipulated that the Bank be restored to an “adequately capitalized” capital category within 60 days of the issuance of the Directive. During the 60 days, the board made efforts to secure funding and comply with the Directive but was not successful. Through several quarters of earnings and a $25,000 capital contribution from the Company, the Bank reached an adequately capitalized regulatory capital category at March 31, 2013. Management formally communicated achievement of the capital level stipulated in the Directive to the FDIC through the submission of the quarterly Call Report and the required quarterly written communication, at the end of April. Recent feedback received by management indicated that formal public release of the Directive is anticipated to occur upon achievement of four consecutive quarters of adequate capitalization which is expected to occur by way of submitting 2013’s fourth quarter Call Report to the FDIC on or about January 30, 2014, assuming that the capital ratios of the Bank remain stable for the remaining quarter of 2013.
