Watch flags
Loans 60+ days delinquent exceed 2% of the loan book, well above the credit-union industry norm of under 1%. Sustained high delinquency erodes net worth through charge-offs. BankRegReports band vs the <1% industry norm.
The credit union posted negative net income relative to assets in its latest filing. Credit unions build net worth only through retained earnings, so sustained losses gradually weaken capital. BankRegReports flag, negative earnings.

It is not NCUA's determination, which can differ. ROA, ROE and margin annualize the quarter; NCUA's Financial Performance Report annualizes the year to date (YTD).
