REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

16. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Home Savings is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Home Savings and United Community. The regulations require Home Savings to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action that involve quantitative measures of Home Savings’ assets, liabilities, and certain off balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Home Savings’ capital classification also is subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation for capital adequacy require Home Savings to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Tier 1 (or Core) capital (as defined in the regulations) to average total assets (as defined) and of total risk-based capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). Actual and statutory required capital amounts and ratios for Home Savings are presented below.

** Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the FDIC categorized Home Savings as adequately capitalized pursuant to the Bank Order and the Consent Order respectively. However, because the Consent Order was terminated on January 31, 2013, Home Savings is now considered well capitalized.

Pursuant to the Consent Order issued by the FDIC and Ohio Division, Home Savings needed to maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio greater than 9.0% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio greater than 12.0% at the end of every quarter beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2012. While the Consent Order was in effect, if either ratio had fallen below its limit at the end of any given quarter, then Home Savings would have had to have restored its capital ratios to required levels within 90 days.

The Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio is 8.70% at December 31, 2012. While Home Savings was still operating under a Consent Order at December 31, 2012 requiring a minimum Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 9.0%, the Company worked closely with its regulators to keep them informed of the bulk sale transaction and obtained their concurrence to complete the bulk sale along with the Bank’s commitment to meet the 9.0% requirement by March 31, 2013. Under the terms of the MOU entered into on January 31, 2013, Home Savings is required to maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 8.50%.

Events beyond management’s control, such as fluctuations in interest rates or a downturn in the economy in areas in which Home Savings’ loans and securities are concentrated, could adversely affect future earnings and consequently Home Savings’ ability to meet its future capital requirements.
