The Orders will remain in effect until modified or terminated by the FDIC and the Department and do not restrict the Bank from transacting its normal banking business.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank’s tier one leverage capital ratio was 6.06% and 6.27%, respectively, and its total risk based capital ratio was 11.20% and 12.41%, respectively. Although in excess of “well capitalized” levels, these ratios have declined as a result of losses and are below the levels required by the Orders. Management has developed and submitted a Capital Plan that focuses on curtailing losses to stop the erosion of capital and increase capital from internal strategies, including the following:

 

·

Asset Reduction-- During 2012, the Bank’s deposits declined by more than $8 million. This reduction served to de-leverage the balance sheet while still maintaining adequate levels of liquidity.

·

Gain on sale of real estate -- The Bank owns real estate that it is actively seeking to sell for a gain. An agreement of sale is pending. At a minimum, the gain is projected to be $600,000.

 

As a result of the above actions, management believes that the Bank has and will continue to comply with the terms and conditions of the Orders and will continue to operate as a going concern and an independent financial institution for the foreseeable future.
