The action means that the agency is running the day-to-day operations of the Eastlake, Ohio-based credit union, which has been in operation since 1947.

According to the financial report filed with the NCUA earlier this month, the value of the credit union's loan portfolio increased by 3% during the first three months of 2010. However, the value of its real estate loans declined by 71% and the value of its unsecured loans fell 46.9%.
