    Combining the Bank and JCB may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected, or could result in the loss of customers.

    The Bank and JCB companies have operated, and, until the completion of the acquisition, will continue to operate, independently. The success of the acquisition will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to the Company's ability to: - Timely and successfully integrate JCB into the Bank;- Retain key employees of JCB, and retain and attract qualified personnel to the Company; and - Maintain existing relationships with customers, suppliers and vendors of the Company and JCB. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of ongoing business or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the Company's ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. In addition, the success of the Company's acquisition of JCB will depend in part on its ability to realize the anticipated benefits and estimated cost savings from acquiring JCB, which may be more difficult to achieve than the Company anticipates and may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.

    Changes in accounting standards could impact reported earnings and capital.

    The authorities that promulgate accounting standards, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"), the SEC, and other regulatory authorities, periodically change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. These changes are difficult to predict and can materially impact how the Company records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, the Company could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in the restatement of financial statements for prior periods. Such changes could also impact the capital levels of the Company and the Bank, or require the Company to incur additional personnel or technology costs.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
