Our nonresidential real estate and construction lending may expose us to a greater risk of loss and hurt our earnings and profitability. Our business is subject to the success of the local economy in which we operate. If the value of real estate in northwestern suburbs of Boston were to decline materially, a significant portion of our loan portfolio could become under-collateralized, which could have a material adverse effect on us. Our continued pace of growth may require us to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed. Competition from financial institutions and other financial service providers may adversely affect our growth and profitability. Fluctuations in interest rates could reduce our profitability and affect the value of our assets. Our allowance for loan losses may prove to be insufficient to absorb losses in our loan portfolio. We are dependent upon the services of our management team. Our failure to continue to recruit and retain qualified loan originators could adversely affect our ability to compete successfully and affect our profitability. We operate in a highly regulated environment and we may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations. We are subject to security and operational risks relating to our use of technology that could damage our reputation and our business. We may have fewer resources than many of our competitors to invest in technological improvements. Our ability to service our debt, pay dividends and otherwise pay our obligations as they come due is substantially dependent on capital distributions from Central Co-operative Bank, and these distributions are subject to regulatory limits and other restrictions.
