Top U.S. tax preparer H&R Block Inc said on Thursday its borrowing capacity may not be sufficient to meet its financing requirements and it may have to issue additional debt or equity.

The company, whose shares were down 3.5 percent, said in a regulatory filing that it had been "significantly and negatively impacted" by the subprime mortgage meltdown.

It said it does not expect to be in compliance with a plan for a minimum capital ratio that it set with the U.S. Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) in July. It had previously said it expected to hit the target by April 30, 2008.
