Yadkin Bank is required to maintain reserve and clearing balances with the Federal Reserve Bank in the form of vault cash or deposits. There was no aggregate net reserve balance maintained with the Federal Reserve Bank as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as vault cash was sufficient to meet the reserve requirement.

Banking regulators have defined capital into the following components: (1) Tier 1 capital, which includes common shareholders' equity and qualifying preferred equity, and (2) Tier 2 capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses, certain qualifying long-term debt and preferred stock which does not qualify as Tier 1 capital. Minimum capital levels are regulated by risk-based capital adequacy guidelines which require a financial institution to maintain capital as a percent of its assets and certain off-balance sheet items adjusted for predefined credit risk factors (risk-adjusted assets). A financial institution is required to maintain, at a minimum, Tier 1 capital as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 4.0 percent and combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 8.0 percent. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal regulations require the Bank to maintain a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital as a percentage of tangible assets) of 4.0 percent. As of December 31, 2014, and 2013, the Company and the Bank met all applicable capital adequacy requirements.
 
The holding company and bank capital amounts and ratios are presented in the table below. The 2013 capital amounts and ratios represent those of Piedmont and VantageSouth Bank, which were the accounting predecessors to Yadkin and the Bank.
