REGULATORY CAPITAL

REGULATORY MATTERS

NOTE 19 — REGULATORY MATTERS

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies and are assigned to a capital category. The assigned capital category is largely determined by four ratios that are calculated according to the regulations. The ratios are intended to measure capital relative to assets and credit risk associated with those assets and off-balance sheet exposures. The capital category assigned to an entity can also be affected by qualitative judgments made by regulatory agencies about the risk inherent in the entity’s activities that are not part of the calculated ratios.

On July 2, 2013, the Federal Reserve approved a final rule that establishes an integrated regulatory capital framework. The rule implements the Basel III regulatory capital reforms from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. In general, under the new rules, minimum requirements have increased for both the quantity and quality of capital held by banking organizations. Consistent with the international Basel framework, the new rules include a new minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5% and a common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets that applies to all supervised financial institutions. The rule also raises the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6% and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for all banking organizations. The new rules also change the methodology for calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity and became effective on January 1, 2015.  The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital.  Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below. Capital amounts and ratios for December 31, 2014 are calculated using Basel I rules.  Management believes as of December 31, 2015, the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
