and Supervision—Regulation of Federal Savings Associations—Capital Requirements.”
+Added: The Federal Reserve Board may require us to commit capital
+Added: resources to support the Banks.
+Added: Federal law requires that a holding company act as a source of financial
+Added: and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and to commit resources to support such subsidiary banks.
+Added: Under the “source of strength”
+Added: doctrine, the Federal Reserve Board may require a holding company to make capital injections into a troubled subsidiary bank and may
+Added: charge the holding company with engaging in unsafe and unsound practices for failure to commit resources to a subsidiary bank.
+Added: injection may be required at times when the holding company may not have the resources to provide it and therefore may be required to
+Added: borrow the funds or raise capital.
+Added: Thus, any borrowing or funds needed to raise capital required to make a capital injection may be more
+Added: expensive or difficult to obtain and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: Risks Related to Accounting Matters
+Added: Changes in management’s estimates and assumptions may have
+Added: a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and our financial condition or operating results.
+Added: In preparing the periodic reports and consolidated financial statements
+Added: we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, our management is and will be required under applicable rules and regulations
+Added: to make estimates and assumptions as of a specified date.
+Added: These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates
+Added: and experience as of that date and are subject to substantial risk and uncertainty.
+Added: Materially different results may occur as circumstances
+Added: change and additional information becomes known.
+Added: Areas requiring significant estimates and assumptions by management include our evaluation
+Added: of the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses, the valuation of mortgage servicing rights, and the fair value of financial instruments.
+Added: Changes in accounting standards could affect reported earnings.
+Added: The bodies responsible for establishing accounting standards, including
+Added: the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory bodies, periodically change the
+Added: financial accounting and reporting guidance that governs the preparation of our financial statements.
+Added: These changes can be hard to predict
+Added: and can materially impact how we record and report our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: In some cases, we could
+Added: be required to apply new or revised guidance retroactively.
+Added: If we are required to impair our goodwill, intangibles, or other
+Added: long-lived assets, our financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.
+Added: Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350,
+Added: Intangibles - Goodwill and Other and ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, we are required to perform an annual impairment review of
+Added: goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets which could result in an impairment charge if it is determined that the carrying value
+Added: of the assets are in excess of the fair value.
+Added: We perform the impairment test annually during our fourth fiscal quarter.
+Added: Goodwill, intangibles
+Added: and other long-lived assets are also tested more frequently if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that a potential
+Added: impairment exists.
+Added: When changes in circumstances, such as changes in the variables associated with the judgments, assumptions and estimates
+Added: made in assessing the appropriate fair value indicate the carrying amount of certain assets may not be recoverable, the assets are evaluated
+Added: for impairment.
+Added: If actual operating results differ from these assumptions, it may result in an asset impairment.
+Added: As of June 30, 2020,
+Added: management early adopted ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):
+Added: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which
+Added: simplifies the required method for estimating the fair value of the Company.
+Added: Future write-downs of intangibles and other long-lived assets
+Added: could affect certain of the financial covenants under our debt agreements, could restrict our financial flexibility, and would impact
+Added: our results of operations.
