Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

Management anticipates continued influence from Federal Reserve monetary policies on loan growth and interest rates.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Regulatory Capital: Regulators may impose higher capital requirements in the future, though management cannot predict the levels or schedule.
- FDIC Assessments: Congress is considering a one-time deposit premium charge to recapitalize the SAIF, estimated between $0.80 and $0.90 per $100 of deposits, which could impact the savings and loan subsidiary.
- Cross-Guarantee Liability: Under FIRREA, the Corporation could be held liable for losses incurred by the FDIC regarding any commonly controlled depository institution in default.
- Dividend Restrictions: The ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends to the parent company is subject to strict regulatory limitations based on capital levels and net profits.
