Deposits [Abstract]

Deposits

13. Deposits

Traditional deposit accounts have historically been the primary source of funds for the Company and a competitive strength of the Company. Traditional deposit accounts also provide a customer base for the sale of additional financial products and services and fee income through service charges. The Company sets targets for growth in deposit accounts annually in an effort to increase the number of products per banking relationship. Deposits are attractive sources of funding because of their stability and generally low cost as compared with other funding sources.

The following table summarizes traditional deposit composition at the periods indicated.

As a result of being critically undercapitalized at June 30, 2011, under the capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank's capital levels do not allow the Bank to increase or renew brokered deposits balances, including all Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service ("CDARS"), without prior approval from regulators. Regulatory limitations on the ability to accept brokered deposits will also limit the Company's deposit funding options. Based on its existing capital ratios, the Bank could be subject to limitations on the maximum interest rates it can pay on deposit accounts and certain restrictions on brokered deposits. However, on August 2, 2010, the Bank was notified by the FDIC that the geographic areas in which the Bank operates are considered high-rate areas. Accordingly, the Bank is able to offer interest rates on deposits up to 75 basis points over the prevailing interest rates in its geographic areas.

On October 21, 2011, subsequent to the recapitalization of the Company, the Bank was designated as "adequately capitalized" for purposes of Prompt Corrective Action. Because the Bank continues to operate under the Order issued by the OCC, the Bank is still subject to the limitations detailed in the paragraph above.
