Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1-Basis of Presentation

 

Nature of Operations

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been omitted or abbreviated. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc.’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2011 Form 10-K”). References to “CIB Marine” include CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless otherwise specified. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly CIB Marine’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CIB Marine and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities including the allowance for loan losses, valuation of investments and impairment, if any, other real estate owned and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are based on various factors, including the current interest rate environment, value of collateral securing loans and investments, assessed probabilities of default of obligors in loans and investment securities, recent sales of investments in the marketplace, recent sales and condition in real estate markets and economic conditions, both locally and nationally. Changes in these factors can significantly affect CIB Marine’s net interest income, noninterest expense and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Beginning with the first quarter of 2012 disclosure requirements, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) requires companies to disclose more of the processes for valuing items categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the measurement and, in certain cases, explain how sensitive the measurements are to changes in the inputs. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on CIB Marine’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

____________

(1) Residential mortgage-backed securities (non-agencies) comprise non-agency issued mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations secured by residential real estate mortgage loans.

 

During the first quarter of 2012, $3.1 million of securities backed by Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans were purchased at premiums with maturities from 16 to 18 years and with principal cash flows guaranteed by the SBA.

 

Securities available for sale with a carrying value of $35.0 million and $47.1 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (“FHLBC”) advances, repurchase agreements, federal reserve discount window advances, a federal funds and letter of credit guidance facility at a correspondent bank, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

 

The amortized cost and fair value of securities at March 31, 2012, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Certain securities, other than mortgage-backed securities, may be called earlier than their maturity date. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities in mortgage-backed securities, because certain mortgages may be prepaid without penalties. Therefore, mortgage-backed securities are not included in the maturity categories in the following contractual maturity schedule.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant. For those securities with fair value less than cost at March 31, 2012, because CIB Marine does not intend to sell the investment nor is it more likely than not that CIB Marine will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their respective amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, CIB Marine does not consider those securities to have been OTTI at quarter end or prior, except for the following: (1) seven residential mortgage-backed securities (non-agencies) (“Non-agency MBS”) with $0.1 million credit-related OTTI recognized during both first quarters of 2012 and 2011 and (2) two trust preferred collateralized debt obligations (“TPCDOs”) with no credit-related OTTI recognized during both the first quarters of 2012 and 2011.

 

There were no sales of securities available for sale during the first quarters of 2012 and 2011.

 

Net unrealized losses on investment securities at March 31, 2012 were $2.7 million compared to $3.8 million at December 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, TPCDOs accounted for $4.8 million in net unrealized losses and Non-agency MBS accounted for $0.8 million. The remaining securities had net unrealized gains of $2.9 million at March 31, 2012.

 

States and Political Subdivisions (“Municipal Securities”). At March 31, 2012, for those Municipal Securities rated by nationally recognized statistical rating agencies, all were rated investment grade except one general obligation bond issued by the City of Detroit, Michigan issued in 2005, which is rated B with a par value of $2.5 million, amortized cost of $2.5 million and fair market value of $2.0 million, to be repaid with ad valorem property taxes. This bond was rated AAA at issue and at the time of purchase by CIB Marine. The city is taking budgetary actions to reduce its operating expense under a consent agreement with the State of Michigan that gives the state some oversight of city finances but avoids the appointment of an emergency manager. There is no reported OTTI at March 31, 2012. CIB Marine does not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell, any of its Municipal Securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity and CIB Marine does not expect a credit loss. As a result, CIB Marine has not recognized any OTTI on its Municipal Securities.

 

Trust Preferred Collateralized Debt Obligations. At March 31, 2012, CIB Marine held four TPCDOs with an $8.6 million par value, an amortized cost of $8.3 million and fair value of $3.5 million. To a limited extent these securities are protected against credit loss by credit enhancements, such as over-collateralization and subordinated securities. Unless they are the most senior class security in the structure, however, they also may be subordinated to more senior classes as identified later in this section. All the TPCDOs have collateral pools and are not single-issuer securities. Preferred Term Securities, LTD (“PreTSLs”) 27 A-1 and 28 A-1 are the most senior classes where all other classes issued in those pools are subordinated to them, and PreTSLs 23 C-FP and 26 B-1 are mezzanine or subordinated classes, but not the most deeply subordinated classes of securities in their pools.

To determine whether or not OTTI is evident, the projected cash flows are discounted using the Index Rate plus the original discount margin. The Index Rate for each security is the 3-Month US Dollar London InterBank Offered Rate (“ LIBOR”). The discount rates are as follows: LIBOR + 0.73% for PreTSL 23 C-FP, LIBOR + 0.56% for PreTSL 26 B-1, LIBOR + 0.30% for PreTSL 27 A-1 and LIBOR + 0.90% for PreTSL 28 A-1. Other key assumptions used in deriving cash flows for the pool of collateral for determining whether OTTI exists include default rate scenarios with annualized default rate vectors starting at 2.0% and declining towards 0.25% by year 2014, loss severity rates of approximately 85%, or a recovery rate of 15%, and prepayment speeds of approximately 1% per annum. All current defaults are applied a loss severity of 100%, or a recovery rate of 0%, and all current deferrals are applied a loss severity of 85%, or a recovery rate of 15%, with a two to five year recovery lag and all future deferral or default events are considered to be defaults with a two year recovery lag and loss severity of 85%, or a recovery rate of 15%.

____________

(1) Total OTTI recognized in earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) reflect results since the acquisition date of the securities by CIB Marine, all of which was recognized prior to March 31, 2012.
(2) The percent of additional immediate defaults of performing collateral at a 85% loss severity rate that would cause a break in yield, meaning that the security would not receive all its contractual cash flows through maturity even though a class could enter a period where payments received are payments-in-kind (“PIK”) but later paid in cash in addition to any accrued interest on the PIKs. Based on a collateral level analysis, PreTSL 23 and 26 projected deferrals and defaults indicate there would be a break in yield resulting in credit component OTTI.
(3) The percentage points by which the class is over or (under) collateralized with respect to its collateral ratio thresholds at which cash payments are to be received from lower classes or directed to higher classes (i.e., if the coverage actual over (under) is negative). A current positive (negative) coverage ratio by itself does not necessarily mean that there will be a full receipt (shortfall) of contractual cash flows through maturity as actual results realized with respect to future defaults, default timing, loss severities, recovery timing, redirections of payments in other classes and other factors could act to cause (correct) a deficiency at a future date.
(4) A point within a range of estimates for the percent of future deferrals and defaults to performing collateral used in assessing credit-related OTTI.
(5) The excess subordination as a percentage of the remaining performing collateral is calculated by taking the difference of total performing collateral less the current class balances of senior classes divided by the current class balances of those senior to and including the respective class for which the measure is applicable.

 

Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (Non-agencies). The unrealized losses in Non-agency MBS are primarily the result of deteriorated asset quality and financial market liquidity conditions. This has impacted the market prices to varying degrees for each respective security based upon the relative credit quality and liquidity premiums applicable to each security.

At March 31, 2012, securities with a par value of $15.5 million and unrealized losses of $0.9 million were below investment grade compared to securities with a par value of $17.2 million and unrealized losses of $1.6 million at December 31, 2011. The decline of $1.7 million in par value was primarily due to the repayment of principal. CIB Marine’s principal and interest payments received on these securities from the purchase date through March 31, 2012 have all been timely and in full except for two securities with credit-related OTTI, where payments received have been timely but with amounts reduced by losses previously recognized as credit-related OTTI where subordinated tranches are no longer able to absorb the loss. The table below displays the current composition of the Non-agency MBS portfolio as of March 31, 2012, based on the lowest credit rating assigned by any of the rating agencies.

 

At March 31, 2012
Credit Rating   Par     Amortized
Cost
    Unrealized Gain
(Loss)
 
    (Dollars in thousands)  
AAA   $ 3,964     $ 3,948     $ 105  
AA     1,016       983       (3 )
A     1,569       1,561       11  
BB or below (1)     15,535       14,323       (914 )
Total   $ 22,084     $ 20,815     $ (801 )

 

 

(1) BB and lower credit ratings are considered to be below investment grade. All securities were originally rated AAA.

 

At March 31, 2012, the issues from 2004 or earlier represented $6.5 million in amortized cost with a fair value of $6.6 million, and the issue dates from 2005 through 2006 represented $14.3 million in amortized cost with a fair value of $13.4 million and an unrealized loss of $0.9 million. At March 31, 2012, the balance-weighted mean and median percentages for each security of various delinquency and nonperformance measures to the total mortgage loans collateralizing those securities were: (1) 5.9% and 5.7%, respectively, for loans 60 or more days past due but not in foreclosure or transferred to OREO; (2) 6.7% and 4.0%, respectively, for loans in foreclosure plus OREO; and (3) 12.6% and 7.7%, respectively, for the total of loans 60 or more days past due, in foreclosure and OREO. With respect to the ratios reported in (3), the range across the securities was 0.0% to 33.5%. California represents a state-level geographic concentration of 36% of the total residential mortgage collateral and Florida represents a concentration of approximately 5%. No other state is more than 5%.

 

The table below summarizes the Non-agency MBS in which OTTI has been recognized during the current or prior periods. In making estimates of credit losses for those securities with OTTI, some of the key assumptions for the underlying residential mortgage loan collateral for March 31, 2012 included annualized prepayment speeds ranging between 5% and 12%, future cumulative default rates ranging between 21% and 48%, weighted average loss severity rates ranging between 45% and 69%, and resulting future cumulative collateral loss rates ranging between 10% and 30%. Resulting cash flows were projected considering the affects of related securities sharing an interest in the same pool of collateral to derive expected credit loss outcomes through maturity.

(1) BB and lower credit ratings are considered to be below investment grade. All securities were originally rated AAA.
(2) Ranges represent the high and low measures for each security’s respective loan collateral pool for securities with OTTI recognized. Nonperforming loans here means past due 60 or more days, in foreclosure or held as OREO. The full amount of nonperforming loans are not expected to translate into a dollar-for-dollar loss to the collateral pool due to borrower efforts to bring the loans current or sell the mortgage residential properties or collection activities of the servicing agents that includes liquidation of collateral and the pursuit of deficiencies where available from the borrowers.

 

Roll Forward of OTTI Related to Credit Loss. The following table is a roll forward of the amount of OTTI related to credit losses that have been recognized in earnings for which a portion of OTTI was recognized in AOCI for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

CIB Marine serves the credit needs of its customers by offering a wide variety of loan programs to customers, primarily in its core footprint of Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana. For financial institutions, significant loan concentrations may occur when groups of borrowers have similar economic characteristics and are similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, significant concentrations exist in commercial real estate loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

CIB Marine has allocated $0.9 million of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified as troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) at each of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. CIB Marine has no additional lending commitments at March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDR.

 

A TDR on nonaccrual status is classified as a nonaccrual loan until evaluation supports a reasonable assurance of repayment and of performance according to the modified terms of the loan. TDRs on nonaccrual status generally remain on nonaccrual status until the borrower’s financial condition supports the debt service requirements and at least a six-month payment history.

 

At March 31, 2012, there were $12.4 million of TDR loans, of which $2.2 million were classified as nonaccrual and $10.2 million were classified as restructured loans and accruing. At December 31, 2011, there were $14.5 million TDR loans, of which $3.8 million were classified as nonaccrual and $10.7 million were classified as restructured loans and accruing.

The following tables show the modifications for TDRs made during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, and TDRs for which there were payment defaults during the periods on modifications made during the prior twelve months.

Credit Quality Indicators

 

CIB Marine categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. CIB Marine uses the following definitions for credit risk ratings:

 

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.

 

Substandard-Accrual. Loans classified as substandard-accrual have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Such loans are characterized by an increased possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected; however, based on recent experience and expectations for future performance, they are on accrual status.

 

Substandard-Nonaccrual. Loans classified as substandard-nonaccrual have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Such loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected, and they are on nonaccrual status.

19
 

 

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable.

 

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the breakdown of loans by class and risk category is as follows:

Note 5-Federal Home Loan Bank Chicago

 

As a member of the FHLBC, CIBM Bank is required to maintain minimum amounts of FHLBC stock as required by that institution. At December 31, 2011, CIB Marine owned $11.6 million carrying value in FHLBC stock and the stock was carried at par of which $1.3 million were required stock holdings with the FHLBC based on the asset size of CIBM Bank. On February 15, 2012, the FHLBC repurchased $5.3 million of stock at par value. After the repurchase CIB Marine had $6.3 million remaining carrying value in FHLBC stock of which $1.3 million were required stock holdings with the FHLBC.

 

Note 6-Short-term Borrowings

 

The following is a summary of short-term borrowings:

 

    March 31, 2012     December 31, 2011  
    Balance     Rate     Balance     Rate  
    (Dollars in thousands)  
Securities sold under repurchase agreements   $ 6,287       0.14 %   $ 9,784       0.21 %

 

Securities sold under repurchase agreements were primarily to commercial customers of CIBM Bank under overnight repurchase sweep arrangements.

 

The Written Agreement (defined below), among other things, requires CIB Marine to obtain Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (“Federal Reserve Bank”) approval before incurring additional borrowings. This is not required for CIBM Bank.

 

Note 7- Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

 

Long-term borrowings of $5.0 million and a maturity date of August 14, 2012, at both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 consisted of borrowings from the FHLBC having an original maturity of greater than one year. All of the borrowings are fixed-rate borrowings collateralized by municipal securities and loans. CIB Marine is required to maintain qualifying collateral as security for both short-term and long-term FHLBC borrowings. CIBM Bank had assets pledged at the FHLBC sufficient to support total borrowings of $42.1 million and $8.5 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. These assets consisted of securities with a fair value of $2.9 million and $9.4 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and loans of $39.5 million at March 31, 2012. During 2012, CIBM Bank received an upgrade from the FHLBC allowing the use of a blanket lien for qualifying loan assets which increased CIBM Bank’s availability of borrowing credit with the agency. As a result, additional potential borrowings available at the FHLBC at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $37.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

 

Note 8-Stockholders’ Equity

 

Regulatory Capital

 

At both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, CIB Marine was subject to a written agreement entered into with the Federal Reserve Bank in the second quarter of 2004 (the “Written Agreement”). The Written Agreement requires CIB Marine, among other things, to obtain Federal Reserve Bank approval before incurring additional borrowings or debt and also requires CIB Marine to maintain a sufficient capital position for the consolidated organization, including the current and future capital requirements of its subsidiary bank, nonbank subsidiaries and the consolidated organization. CIB Marine is prohibited from paying any dividends without Federal Reserve Bank consent pursuant to the Written Agreement.

 

21
 

 

At both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, CIB Marine’s wholly-owned subsidiary bank, CIBM Bank, was under a Consent Order (“Consent Order”) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Division of Banking (“IDFPR”). The Consent Order requires CIBM Bank, among other things, to take certain corrective actions focused on reducing exposure to nonaccrual loans, restrict lending to credits with existing nonaccrual loans, restricting the payment of dividends without regulatory approval, maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10% and a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 12%, develop a management plan and implement its recommendations, institute for board compliance and monitoring of the provisions of the Consent Order, and develop and maintain a plan for reducing and managing credit concentrations. Also, CIBM Bank is restricted from issuing or renewing brokered deposits unless it obtains permission from the FDIC to do so.

 

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, CIB Marine’s capital ratios were above the minimum levels required by the Written Agreement. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, CIBM Bank was in compliance with the minimum capital requirements as set forth in the Consent Order and believes it is in substantial compliance with the other requirements set forth in the Consent Order. CIBM Bank was classified as “adequately capitalized” as of March 31, 2012.

Pursuant to the Written Agreement and throughout such time as the Written Agreement remains in effect, CIB Marine may not declare or pay dividends without first obtaining the consent of the Federal Reserve Bank. CIB Marine is also prohibited from paying any dividends on its common stock unless the quarterly dividend on its preferred stock has been paid in full for four consecutive quarters. No dividends have been declared or paid to date on CIB Marine’s preferred stock.

 

Note 9-Loss per Share

 

The following provides a reconciliation of basic and diluted loss per share:

    Quarters Ended March 31,  
    2012     2011  
    (Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)  
Loss from continuing operations   $ (111 )   $ (1,345 )
Preferred stock dividends            
Net loss allocated to common stockholders   $ (111 )   $ (1,345 )
Weighted average shares outstanding:                
Total weighted average common shares outstanding     18,135,344       18,135,344  
Shares owned by CIBM Bank     (7,452 )     (7,452 )
Weighted average common shares outstanding     18,127,892       18,127,892  
Effect of dilutive stock options outstanding            
Basic     18,127,892       18,127,892  
Assumed conversion of Series B preferred to common            
Diluted     18,127,892       18,127,892  
                 
Loss per share :                
Basic loss from continuing operations   $ (0.01 )   $ (0.07 )
Diluted loss from continuing operations     (0.01 )     (0.07 )

 

Options to purchase 401,956 and 451,712 shares of common stock for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the exercise price of the outstanding stock options was greater than the average market price of the common shares (anti-dilutive options).

 

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the assumed conversion of Series B Preferred represents a potential common stock issuance of 17.5 million shares. The effect of the potential issuance of common stock associated with the Series B Preferred was deemed to be anti-dilutive and, therefore, was excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the periods ending March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Note 10-Commitments, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contingent Liabilities

 

The following table summarizes the contractual or notional amount of off-balance sheet financial instruments with credit risk.

 

    March 31, 2012     December 31, 2011  
    (Dollars in thousands)  
Commitments to extend credit:                
Fixed   $ 1,121     $ 1,724  
Variable     31,762       30,110  
Standby letters of credit     2,414       2,385  

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee except for overdraft lines of credit, which a fixed maturity date is not established. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. CIB Marine evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness and determines the amount of the collateral necessary based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventories, property and equipment, and real estate. The interest rates range between 2.24% and 18.00% with a weighted average of 4.39%. The maturity dates range between April 2012 and open dated, the latter is related to overdraft protection accounts. Loan commitments to commercial customers totaled $23.6 million, with the maturity dates ranging between April 2012 and August 2022 and a weighted average term of eight months.

 

Lending-Related and Other Commitments

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments that CIB Marine issues to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. The maximum potential future payments guaranteed by CIB Marine under standby letter of credit arrangements was $2.4 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, with a weighted average term of approximately 8 months and 11 months at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

23
 

 

Contingent Liabilities

 

CIB Marine and CIBM Bank engage in legal actions and proceedings, both as plaintiffs and defendants, from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In some instances, such actions and proceedings involve substantial claims for compensatory or punitive damages or involve claims for an unspecified amount of damages. There are, however, presently no proceedings pending or contemplated which, in CIB Marine’s opinion, would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position.

 

Note 11-Fair Value

 

The following tables present information about CIB Marine’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that CIB Marine has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets where there are few transactions and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Additional information concerning the Level 3 assets at March 31, 2012 is detailed below:

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used to measure recurring financial instruments at fair value, including the classification of related pricing inputs.

 

Securities Available for Sale. Where quoted market prices are available from active markets with high volumes of frequent trades for identical securities, the security is presented as a Level 1 input security. These would include predominantly U.S. Treasury Bills, Notes and Bonds. Securities classified under Level 2 inputs include those where quoted market prices are available from an active market of similar but not identical securities, where pricing models use the U.S. Treasury or LIBOR swap yield curves, where market quoted volatilities are used, and where correlated or market corroborated inputs are used such as prepayment speeds, expected default and loss severity rates. Securities with predominantly Level 2 inputs and using a market approach to valuation include U.S. government agency and government sponsored enterprise issued securities and mortgage-backed securities, certain corporate or foreign sovereign debt securities, private issue mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities, equity securities with quoted market prices but low or infrequent trades and debt obligations of states and political subdivisions. Where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are either not available, or are significantly adjusted, the securities are classified under Level 3 inputs. The available for sale securities using Level 3 inputs were TPCDOs with fair values measured using predominantly the income valuation approach (present value technique), where expected future cash flows less expected losses were discounted using a discount rate consisting of benchmark interest rates plus credit, liquidity and option premium spreads from similar and comparable, but not identical, types of debt instruments and from models. The credit and liquidity premium spreads used in the discount rates and the credit factors used in deriving cash flows represent significant unobservable inputs.

Loans Held for Sale . The fair value of loans held for sale, consisting primarily of commercial real estate loans are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, which is estimated based on indicative and general sale price levels for commercial real estate loans of similar quality and current prices for similar residential real estate loans offered by mortgage correspondent banks. Due to limited market activity in specific loan assets, all other loans designated as held for sale are valued predominantly using unobservable inputs classified under Level 3 inputs. These inputs include indicative prices, loan discount rates and general loan market price level information for loans of similar type and quality. A market approach is the primary valuation technique used to measure the fair value of loans held for sale.

 

Impaired Loans . Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses. At the time a loan is considered impaired it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. The impairment loss is based on Level 2 quoted market price inputs, a discounted cash flow analysis, or a fair value estimate of the collateral using Level 2 inputs, including primarily the appraised value of the real estate with certain other market correlated or corroborated information. The fair value of impaired loans represented in the fair value table includes only those loans that are carried at their fair value and at this time would only include those with an impairment loss either reserved for as a specific reserve or charged-off where that impairment loss was determined using a market approach to valuation based upon a fair value estimate of the collateral. For real estate collateral, that is done using an appraised value of the real estate with certain other market correlated or corroborated information.

 

Other Real Estate Owned . The fair value of OREO is generally determined based upon outside appraisals using observable market data for the same or similar real estate (Level 2). Adjustments to the appraised values are largely related to market correlated or corroborated information such as observed changes in local real estate prices and broker costs. These were deemed to be Level 2 inputs since in general, the market-based information was considered to be the primary determinant of the value after market correlated and corroborated information and the brokerage costs are largely fixed percentages that do not vary or change other than nominally. The carrying value of a foreclosed asset is immediately adjusted down when new information is obtained. This new information may include a new appraisal, a potentially acceptable offer, the sale of a similar property in the vicinity of one of CIB Marine’s assets and/or a change in the price the property is being listed for based on market forces.

Fair value amounts represent estimates of value at a point in time. Significant estimates regarding economic conditions, loss experience, risk characteristics associated with particular financial instruments and other factors were used for the purposes of this disclosure. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve matters of judgment. Therefore, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the assumptions could have a material impact on the amounts estimated.

 

Because of the wide range of valuation techniques and the numerous estimates that must be made, it may be difficult to make reasonable comparisons of CIB Marine’s fair value to that of other financial institutions. It is important that the many uncertainties discussed above be considered when using the estimated fair value disclosures and to realize that because of these uncertainties the aggregate fair value should in no way be construed as representative of the underlying value of CIB Marine.

 

The following describes the methodology and assumptions used to estimate fair value of financial instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents . The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value and are classified as Level 1 for due from accounts held at the Federal Reserve Bank or investment grade correspondent banks and Level 2 for Federal Funds sold and repurchase agreements.

 

Loans Receivable . The fair value of loans receivable are either Level 2 or Level 3. Fair values of certain impaired loans are evaluated at Level 2 described above under the previous table “Fair Value for Measurements Made on a Nonrecurring Basis.” The fair value of all other loans are evaluated at Level 3 and estimated using the income approach to valuation by discounting the expected future cash flows using current interest rates with credit and quality discounts for similar and comparable, but not identical, loans. The credit and quality discounts as well as the prepayment speeds used in deriving the cash flows representing significant unobservable inputs. The carrying value of loans receivable is net of the allowance for loan losses. The methods used to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

 

The fair value of loans held for sale is described up with the preceding table.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank . There is no market for FHLBC stock and it may only be sold back to the FHLBC or another member institution at par with the FHLBC and the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (“FHFA”) approval. As a result, its cost, and its par amount at this time represents its carrying amount. The carrying amount of FHLBC stock was $6.3 million and $11.6 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

28
 

 

Accrued Interest Receivable . The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value resulting in a Level 2 or 3 classification consistent with the respective asset.

 

Deposit Liabilities . The carrying value of deposits with no stated maturity approximates their fair value as they are payable on demand resulting in a Level 1 classification. The fair value of fixed time deposits was estimated using the income approach to valuation by discounting expected future cash flows. The discount rates used in these analyses are based on market rates of interest for time deposits of similar remaining maturities resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Short-term Borrowings . The carrying value of short-term borrowings payable within three months or less approximates their fair value resulting in a Level 2 classification. The estimated fair value of borrowed funds with a maturity greater than three months is based on quoted market prices, when available. Borrowed funds with a maturity greater than three months for which quoted prices were not available were valued using the income approach to valuation by discounting expected future cash flows by a current market rate for similar types of debt resulting in a Level 2 classification. For purposes of this disclosure, short-term borrowings are those borrowings with stated final maturities of less than or equal to one year, including securities sold under agreements to repurchase, U.S. Treasury tax and loan notes, lines of credit, commercial paper and other similar borrowings.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances . The fair market value of long-term borrowings payable was estimated using the income approach to valuation by discounting the expected future cash flows using current interest rates for instruments with similar terms resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Accrued Interest Payable . The carrying amount of accrued interest payable is used to approximate its fair value resulting in a Level 2 or 3 classification consistent with the respective liability.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments . The fair value and carrying value of letters of credit and unused and open ended lines of credit have been estimated based on the unearned fees charged for those commitments, net of accrued liability for probable losses.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following is a discussion and analysis that presents CIB Marine’s consolidated financial condition as of March 31, 2012, and its changes in financial condition and results of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, as well as CIB Marine’s 2011 Form 10-K.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

CIB Marine has made statements in this Form 10-Q that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. CIB Marine intends these forward-looking statements to be subject to the safe harbor created thereby and is including this statement to avail itself of the safe harbor. Forward-looking statements are identified generally by statements containing words and phrases such as “may,” “project,” “are confident,” “should be,” “intend,” “predict,” “believe,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements reflect CIB Marine’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance that are subject to many uncertainties and factors relating to CIB Marine’s operations and the business environment, which could change at any time.

 

There are inherent difficulties in predicting factors that may affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements. These factors include those referenced in Part I, Item 1A-Risk Factors of CIB Marine’s 2011 Form 10-K, and as may be described from time to time in CIB Marine’s subsequent Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, and such factors are incorporated herein by reference. See also Part II, Item 1-Legal Proceedings of this Form 10-Q.

 

29
 

 

Stockholders should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in the documents that are incorporated by reference, could affect the future financial results of CIB Marine and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this document. These factors, many of which are beyond CIB Marine’s control, include but are not limited to:

 

· operating, legal, and regulatory risks;
· economic, political, and competitive forces affecting CIB Marine’s banking business;
· the impact on net interest income and securities values from changes in monetary policy and general economic and political conditions;
· the risk that CIB Marine’s analyses of these risks and forces could be incorrect and/or that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful; and
· other factors discussed in Part II Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” below and elsewhere herein.

 

These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. CIB Marine undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and CIB Marine’s actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

The following discussion and analysis is presented to assist in the understanding and evaluation of CIB Marine’s financial condition and results of operations. It is intended to complement the unaudited consolidated financial statements, footnotes, and supplemental financial data appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction therewith.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The financial condition and results of operations presented in the consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements, selected financial data appearing elsewhere within this report, and management’s discussion and analysis are dependent upon CIB Marine’s accounting policies. The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments about matters that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. CIB Marine made no significant changes in its critical accounting policies and significant estimates from those disclosed in its 2011 Form 10-K.

 

Results of Operations

 

Results of Operations- Summary

 

Net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2012 was $0.1 million, an improvement of $1.2 million compared to the net loss of $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2011. The reduction in the net loss between periods was primarily due to a reduction in the provision for loan losses and lower noninterest expense. The first quarter 2012 provision for loan losses was $1.0 million lower than the first quarter of 2011, due primarily to an improvement in credit quality and recoveries in the purchased home equity pools. Noninterest expense was lower by $0.6 million due primarily to reduced write-downs on assets and lower FDIC insurance, as well as smaller reductions in expenses for a number of areas including occupancy and premise, equipment, professional service, data processing and telecommunications.

 

The following table sets forth selected unaudited consolidated financial data. The selected unaudited consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Net Interest Income

 

The following table sets forth information regarding average balances, interest income, or interest expense, and the average rates earned or paid for each of CIB Marine’s major asset, liability and stockholders’ equity categories. Interest income on tax-exempt securities has not been adjusted to reflect the tax equivalent basis, since CIB Marine does not expect to realize all of the tax benefits associated with these securities due to substantial losses incurred.

(1) Balance totals include respective nonaccrual assets.

(3) Net interest spread is the yield on average interest-earning assets less the rate on interest-bearing liabilities.
(4) Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets.

 

Net interest income decreased $0.3 million, or 5.9%, from $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2011 to $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2012. The decrease was mainly attributable to a reduction in volumes of earning assets partially offset by reduced average costs of deposits.

 

Total interest income decreased $1.0 million, or 15.0%, from $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2011 to $5.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. The decrease was due to a $0.4 million, or 30.2%, decrease in interest income on securities and a $0.5 million, or 10.0%, decrease in interest income on loans during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease in interest income on the securities resulted primarily from a $31.6 million strategic reduction in average balances. The decrease in interest income on loans resulted primarily from a $52.5 million reduction in average loan balances, partially offset by a 13 basis point improvement in loan yields due in part to declining nonaccrual loan balances and one-time recoveries of interest on previously charged-off purchased home equity loans of $0.2 million during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011.

Total interest expense decreased $0.7 million, or 43.7%, from $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2011 to $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.5 million, or 43.9%, reduction in interest expense on time deposits. This decrease was due to a 41 basis point decline in average interest costs paid on time deposits and a $74.5 million strategic reduction in average balances for time deposits. CIB Marine reduced time deposits and corresponding securities to reduce total assets as part of its capital management plan in a manner consistent with its liquidity and interest rate risk management strategies. In addition, this planned reduction was due to the limited earning opportunities from the difference in rates paid on the time deposits versus the available interest rate paid on government securities of comparable term, as well as the continued limited lending opportunities in the local geographies.

 

CIB Marine’s net interest margin, which is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets, increased by 31 basis points from 3.62% during the first quarter of 2011 to 3.93% during the first quarter of 2012 and its net interest spread, which is the difference between the rate earned on average interest-earning assets and the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities increased 38 basis points during the same period. The net interest margin increase was primarily due to the improved cost and composition of interest-bearing liabilities, with an increased percent comprising lower cost non-time deposits. Average yields of interest-earning assets decreased 9 basis points and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 47 basis points for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.

 

The following table presents an analysis of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in average volumes of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and average rates earned and paid.

Provision for Credit Losses

 

The provision for loan losses is predominantly a function of CIB Marine’s allowance for loan losses methodology and judgments as to other qualitative and quantitative factors used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, which focuses on changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio, changes in levels of impaired and other nonaccrual loans, historical losses and delinquencies on each portfolio category, the risk inherent in specific loans, concentrations of loans to specific borrowers or industries, existing economic conditions, the fair value of underlying collateral, and other factors which could affect potential credit losses. The provision for loan losses was $0.1 million and $1.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

During the first quarter of 2012, the provision for loan loss was lower by $1.0 million compared to the same period for 2011 due to continued improvement in asset quality and recoveries in the purchased home equity pools.

 

Although improvement in provisions in the first quarter of 2012 relative to the same period last year were significant, classified and impaired loan volumes continue to be elevated and the continuation of deteriorated real estate markets and a tepid jobs recovery continues to adversely affect some of CIBM Bank’s borrowers. As a result, the construction and development and commercial real estate loan segments required additional provisions for loan losses of $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $0.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in the same period of 2011. The purchased home equity pool segment had a $1.3 million reversal of provisions during the first quarter of 2012 compared to $0.1 million in provisions during the first quarter of 2011, due primarily to $2.1 million in recoveries during the first quarter of 2012 compared to $0.1 million during the same period in 2011. There can be no certainty as to whether CIB Marine will experience improved credit quality or recoveries during future quarters so as to permit it to record further reversals of the provision for any of the portfolio segments, or whether additional provisions may be required.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income decreased $0.1 million from $0.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 to $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.1 million increase in OTTI.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Total noninterest expense decreased $0.6 million, from $5.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 to $5.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was due to decreases in write down and losses on assets and FDIC insurance. During the first quarter of 2012, write down and losses on assets consisted of $0.3 million of OREO and $0.1 million of fixed assets compared to $0.7 million of write downs and loss on OREO and $0.1 million of write downs on fixed assets during the first quarter of 2011.

 

Income Taxes

 

No tax benefit has been recognized on the consolidated net operating losses for 2012 or 2011 due to the fact that realization of the tax benefits related to the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of CIB Marine are not “more likely than not” to be realized.

 

Financial Condition

 

Overview

 

During the first quarter of 2012, CIB Marine continued to show improvement in certain key asset quality measures such as the nonaccrual loan to total loan ratio declined 52% over the related 2011 measure, and the charge-off ratio declined from 0.81% to 0.12% over the same period. During the first quarter of 2012, CIB Marine and CIBM Bank saw more stability in total assets with only a slight reduction of total assets as well as improved capital ratios. The March 31, 2012, Tier 1 leverage to average assets ratio for CIB Marine improved to 13.49% from 13.15% at December 31, 2011.

 

Securities Available for Sale

 

Total securities available for sale at March 31, 2012 were $88.3 million, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 0.7%, from $89.0 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to prepayments, repayments and maturities from the existing portfolio. At March 31, 2012, CIB Marine had Non-agency MBS holdings of $22.1 million par value with a fair value of $20.0 million, down from holdings at December 31, 2011 of $24.8 million par value with a fair value of $22.1 million. The decline of $2.7 million in par value was primarily due to the repayment of principal.

 

34
 

 

The net unrealized loss on securities available for sale was $2.7 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $3.8 million at December 31, 2011. The net unrealized losses are mainly in TPCDOs and Non-agency MBS, resulting from adverse credit quality and decreased liquidity for these securities.

 

At March 31, 2012, 5.8% of the securities portfolio consisted of U.S. government agency securities, 57.5% of mortgage-backed securities and 32.5% of obligations of states and political subdivisions compared to 7.9%, 54.6% and 33.6% at December 31, 2011, respectively. The ratio of total securities to total assets was 17.6% and 17.7% at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, loans held for sale were $0.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Loan sales of $1.4 million occurred during the first quarter of 2012 and resulted in nominal recognized gain on sale. At March 31, 2012, there were no loans held for sale on nonaccrual status compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2011.

 

Loans

 

General

 

Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, were $332.3 million at March 31, 2012, a decrease of $9.2 million, or 2.7%, from $341.5 million at December 31, 2011, and represented 66.2% and 67.8% of CIB Marine’s total assets at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The decrease in loans from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012 was across all segments except residential real estate, but primarily in the commercial real estate and construction and development loan segments, predominantly reflecting repayments, collections and the impact of charge-offs.

 

CIB Marine has no agreements to acquire any loan pools or portfolios, home equity or other, from other parties at this time. As a community bank in the markets it serves, CIB Marine may buy or participate in (or sell in whole or part) individual loans from (or to) other lenders, but only on a loan-by-loan basis where CIB Marine determines compliance with its loan and acquisition policies prior to acquiring such loans.

 

The following table sets forth a summary of CIB Marine’s loan portfolio by category for each of the periods indicated. The data for each category is presented in terms of total dollars outstanding and as a percentage of the total loans outstanding.

At March 31, 2012, commercial loans were largely distributed to customers located in Illinois (33%), Indiana (32%), Wisconsin (25%) and Arizona (8%), while nonaccrual commercial loans pertained to customers located in Illinois (54%), Arizona (42%) and Wisconsin (4%). At December 31, 2011, commercial loans were largely distributed to customers located in Illinois (34%), Indiana (28%), Wisconsin (28%) and Arizona (8%), while nonaccrual commercial loans pertained to customers located exclusively in Illinois.

 

Provision adjustments for commercial loans were negative due to a decline in balances, improved classifications, and a decline in impairments on loans for this segment.

 

Commercial Real Estate Loans

 

Commercial real estate loan provisions decreased from $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2011 to $0.6 million during the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily due to improved loan risk classifications within this segment category.

The purchased home equity pools totaled $21.3 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $22.6 million at December 31, 2011. The reduction in balances during the first quarter of 2012 of $1.3 million resulted from payments of $0.5 million and charge-offs of $0.8 million. The allowance for loan losses for the home equity loan pools was $2.4 million or 11.46% of remaining balances at March 31, 2012, and $2.4 million or 10.71% of remaining balances at December 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the amount of loans past due 30 to 89 days and still accruing interest was $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, purchased home equity pools were distributed across the U.S., with the largest concentrations in Texas (15%), California (9%), Georgia (5%), Virginia (5%), Washington (5%), Illinois (4%) and Minnesota (4%).

 

From the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the comparable quarter in 2011, delinquencies have subsided as employment conditions improved modestly. However, the charge-off rates from delinquent loans have deteriorated during the last three quarters. Although non-farm payrolls grew at a higher rate during the first quarters of both 2011 and 2012, home prices have continued their year-on-year declines and unemployment rates remained elevated. The negative factors including the increase in charge-off rates from delinquent loans and the continued decline in housing prices contributed to an increase in the allowance for loan losses to loan ratio from 10.71% at December 31, 2011 to 11.46% at March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, 96% of the outstanding balances in this loan segment were current in contractual payments, an improvement over December 31, 2011 of 94%. The amount of previously charged-off loans that had an improved payment performance record and represented potential future recoveries was $2.4 million at both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

 

Credit Concentrations

 

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, CIB Marine had no secured borrowing relationships (loans to one borrower or a related group of borrowers) that exceeded 25% of stockholders’ equity.

 

Shown in the table below are the concentrations in the loan portfolio classified by the 2007 North American Industry Classification System (“NAICS”) codes. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, CIB Marine had credit relationships within four industry groups with total loan balances exceeding 25% of stockholders’ equity as follows:

Credit Procedures and Review

 

In order to manage credit risk and the growth of its loan portfolio, CIB Marine developed, implemented and periodically updates various policies and procedures, including a comprehensive loan policy, and established a signature approval and committee structure. The loan policy establishes underwriting standards, a loan approval process, loan officer lending limits, loan pricing guidelines, a credit rating system, delinquency monitoring procedures, and credit collection procedures. The loan underwriting, approval and review processes are designed to protect asset quality by ensuring that credit requests are independently reviewed on at least two different levels, and to promote uniform lending standards among CIB Marine and CIBM Bank.

 

Credit risk within the loan portfolio is inherently different for each loan type. Credit risk is controlled and monitored through the use of lending standards, a thorough review of potential borrowers and on-going review of loan payment performance. Active asset quality administration, including early problem loan identification and timely resolution of problems, aids in the management of credit risk and minimization of loan losses.

A more comprehensive discussion of credit risk management is contained in CIB Marine’s 2011 Form 10-K.

Almost all nonaccrual loans are considered to be impaired. Restructured loans are considered impaired but may be on accrual status. Total loans considered impaired and their related reserve balances at March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011 follow:

 

    March 31, 2012     December 31, 2011     March 31, 2011  
    (Dollars in thousands)        
Impaired loans without a specific allowance   $ 10,466     $ 13,257     $ 28,095  
Impaired loans with a specific allowance     21,634       23,026       16,407  
Total impaired loans   $ 32,100     $ 36,283     $ 44,502  
Specific allowance related to impaired loans   $ 5,444     $ 5,528     $ 5,251  

 

At March 31, 2012, CIB Marine had four borrowing relationships (loans to one borrower or a group of related borrowers) with nonaccrual loan balances in excess of $1.0 million. These relationships accounted for $10.8 million, or 70.0%, of nonaccrual loans. At December 31, 2011, CIB Marine had seven borrowing relationships (loans to one borrower or a group of related borrowers) with nonaccrual loan balances in excess of $1.0 million that were not classified as held for sale. These relationships accounted for $15.2 million, or 77.6%, of nonaccrual loans excluding those held for sale. The nonaccrual commercial real estate and construction and development credit relationships in excess of $1.0 million at March 31, 2012 were geographically distributed as follows:

 

· $4.7 million in Illinois consisting of one relationship
· $3.7 million in Florida consisting of one relationship
· $1.3 million in Indiana consisting of one relationship
· $1.1 million in Nevada consisting of one relationship

 

Although levels have improved, commercial real estate and construction and development loans continue to be the primary contributors to the elevated levels of nonaccrual loans over the past three years and continued to make up the majority of CIB Marine’s nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Elevated vacancy rates and depressed real estate values continue to adversely affect many borrowers. Although tentative, signs of improvement in the economy could indicate stabilization in the real estate markets and related collateral values; however, it is still highly uncertain as to when or how much real estate values will improve.

 

Excluding loans held for sale, nonaccrual loans decreased $4.1 million, from $19.6 million at December 31, 2011 to $15.5 million at March 31, 2012. The net decrease in nonaccrual loans was primarily due to a decrease in nonaccrual loans in the construction and development and commercial real estate loan segments. Nonaccrual commercial real estate loans represented 64% and 58% of total nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans was 4.5% at March 31, 2012 compared to 5.5% at December 31, 2011. Foregone interest on nonaccrual loans since they became nonaccrual reduced interest income by $2.2 million and $1.9 million, as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest are loans which are delinquent with respect to the contractual payment terms of principal and/or interest, but for which management believes all contractual principal and interest amounts due will be collected. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, CIB Marine had no loans that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing.

 

41
 

 

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual and restructured loans, excluding those held for sale was 62.5% and 53.2% at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual loans, excluding those held for sale and excluding impaired loans whose impairments have been charged-off, was 318% and 254% at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

While CIB Marine believes that the value of the collateral securing the above nonaccrual loans approximates the net book value of the loans, it cannot provide assurance that the value will be maintained or that there will be no further losses with respect to these loans.

Potential Problem Loans

 

“Potential Problem Loans” are those commercial segment loans classified as substandard-accrual by management and cover a diverse range of businesses and real estate property types. The level of Potential Problem Loans is another factor in determining the level of risk in the portfolio and in determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses. At March 31, 2012, Potential Problem Loans totaled $15.6 million compared to $16.8 million at December 31, 2011. The composition at March 31, 2012 included $14.7 million, $0.3 million and $0.6 million in commercial real estate, construction and development and commercial respectively, compared to $15.7 million, $0.3 million and $0.8 million at December 31, 2011, respectively. Although substantial progress has been made in reducing nonperforming loans, management continues to have heightened concern for potential future provisions necessary for loans losses given the potential pace, magnitude and duration at which loans and related collateral may deteriorate in the commercial segments.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses comprises two consolidated components, an allowance for loans measured in similar groups of loans and an allowance for loans measured individually for impairment. The allowance for loans evaluated collectively for impairment was $10.6 million at both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 or 3.38% and 3.31% of the respective loan balances.

 

The allowance for loans evaluated individually for impairment was $5.5 million at both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 or 17.0% and 15.2% of the respective loan balances. The current carrying value of impaired loans at March 31, 2012 is approximately 68% of contractual principal, the same as at the end of 2011. At March 31, 2012, the total of the allowance for loan losses for impaired loans plus all prior net charge-offs taken against those impaired loans is $11.0 million, or 28% of contractual principal compared to $11.7 million or 26% at December 31, 2011. This change reflects the reduced amount and percent of impaired loans comprising construction and development loans which have had on average a higher charge-off rate earlier in their migration due to their propensity for collateral dependency in a deteriorated real estate market.

 

The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for loan losses for each of the periods indicated. For comparative purposes, all periods presented exclude the assets of companies held for disposal at the end of period.

Total allowance   $ 16,092       100.0 %   $ 16,128       100.0 %

 

At March 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses was $16.1 million or 4.62% of total loans compared to $16.1 million, or 4.51% of total loans at December 31, 2011. The change in the allowance is limited reflecting a lack of substantial change from year end. The allowance for loan losses, excluding any allowance for purchased home equity pools, decreased $0.1 million from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012 and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans, excluding the purchased home equity pools, increased from 4.10% to 4.19% over the same period.

 

Residential real estate value growth has been weak during 2011, declining 3.8% year-on-year through January 2012 (as indicated by the Case-Schiller Composite 20 City Home Price Index for the United States of America). In addition, although the unemployment rate (as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor) improved to 8.2% for the month of March 2012, compared to 8.5% for the month of December 2011, the rate continues to be elevated and improvement from peak levels during 2009 have been largely reflective of declining labor force participation rates.

 

The allowance for loan losses for the purchased home equity loan pools was $2.4 million or 11.5% of remaining balances at March 31, 2012, compared to $2.4 million or 10.7% of remaining balances at December 31, 2011. The loan loss reserves are set within a range of the loan loss reserve estimates based on current trending net charge-off rates for the segment and after considering other environmental factors, including housing and labor market conditions. Charge-offs in the purchased home equity loan pool segment deteriorated slightly from the first quarter of 2011 to the same period of 2012, with gross charge-offs rising from $0.6 million to $0.8 million. At the same time, recoveries improved from $0.1 million to $2.1 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, recorded recoveries through repurchase of specific individual loans in the pools were $2.1 million or 75% of the related $2.9 million of previously charged-off principal balances for those specific individual loans in the pools. During 2011 through the first quarter of 2012, CIB Marine pursued new and additional analyses of the previously charged-off purchased home equity pool loans for potential repurchase by the seller as a result of underwriting and documentation deficiencies and related violations of representations and warranties in the agreements between CIB Marine and the seller of the loans. The recoveries recorded in 2011 through the first quarter of 2012 were primarily the result of such repurchase activity. In addition, $2.4 million of additional principal and interest recoveries of previously charged-off loans were received in the months of April and May 2012. However, there is absolutely no assurance as to what additional recoveries, if any, may be experienced in the future.

 

Total charge-offs for the first quarter of 2012 were $2.7 million while recoveries were $2.6 million, compared to $1.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2011. Net charge-offs from the purchased home equity loan pools were down substantially during the first quarter of 2012 to a net recovery of $1.3 million compared to net charge-off of $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2011. The increase in charge-offs during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 was predominantly in construction and development and commercial real estate loans. The net decline in nonaccrual loans and higher recoveries resulted in the lower provisions for loan losses in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2012. Although the improvement is significant, the reported amount of CIB Marine’s nonaccrual loans continues to be elevated as the economy has not fully recovered and unemployment levels continued to be historically high.

 

45
 

 

CIB Marine has not materially changed any aspect of its overall approach in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. However, on an on-going basis, CIB Marine continues to refine the methods used in determining management’s best estimate of the allowance for loan losses.

 

CIB Marine believes that the allowance for loan losses is appropriate to absorb probable incurred losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible; however, given the conditions in the real estate markets and economy in general, there can be no assurance that the allowance will prove sufficient to cover actual loan losses in the future. Management recognizes that there are significant estimates in the process and the ultimate losses could be materially different from those currently estimated. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the quality of loans and the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses and may require CIB Marine to make material additional provisions to the allowance based upon their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

 

Other Real Estate Owned

 

OREO, which represents foreclosed properties, was $8.0 million and consisted of thirteen properties at March 31, 2012 compared to $7.1 million and twelve properties at December 31, 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, CIB Marine transferred one property for $1.2 million from its loan portfolio to OREO and recorded a $0.3 million impairment write down on one property. At March 31, 2012, OREO was geographically distributed as follows:

 

· $1.5 million of undeveloped land in Nevada
· $1.3 million of residential property in Wisconsin
· $1.3 million of undeveloped land in Wisconsin
· $0.9 million of undeveloped land in Florida
· $0.2 million of condominiums in Arizona
· $2.8 million of improved commercial land in Illinois

 

Deposit Liabilities

 

Total deposits were $422.5 million at March 31, 2012 and $422.6 million at December 31, 2011. Time deposits represent the largest component of deposits. The percentage of time deposits to total deposits was 41.4% at March 31, 2012 and 42.7% at December 31, 2011, reflecting CIB Marine’s continued, albeit reduced, reliance on time deposits as a primary source of funding.

 

The aggregate amount of time deposits of $100,000 or more at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $51.0 million, or approximately 29.2% of time deposits and $52.1 million or 28.9% of total time deposits, respectively. There were no brokered time deposits at March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

 

Borrowings

 

CIB Marine uses various types of borrowings to meet liquidity needs, fund asset growth and/or when the pricing of these borrowings is more favorable than deposits. Total borrowed funds decreased $3.5 million from $14.8 million at December 31, 2011, to $11.3 million at March 31, 2012. The decrease was attributable to a reduction of short-term borrowings.

 

During the first quarter of 2012, the availability of federal funds purchased by CIBM Bank with correspondent banks continued to be contingent on CIBM Bank’s ability to pledge fixed-income investment securities as collateral for such borrowings.

 

Liquidity

 

CIB Marine monitors and manages its liquidity position so that funds will be available at a reasonable cost to meet financial commitments, to finance business expansion and to take advantage of unforeseen opportunities. Liquidity management involves projecting funding requirements and maintaining sufficient capacity to meet those needs and accommodate fluctuations in asset and liability levels due to changes in business operations or unanticipated events.

 

46
 

 

CIB Marine’s most readily available source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents, which increased from $44.8 million at December 31, 2011, to $58.9 million at March 31, 2012.

 

Another source of liquidity available to CIBM Bank, either as a liquid asset or as collateral to be pledged for borrowings, is its investment portfolio. Investment securities available for sale totaled $88.3 million and $89.0 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. At March 31, 2012, $15.6 million pledged liabilities and contingent liabilities were outstanding, which included $5.0 million to the FHLBC, $6.3 million to repurchase agreement customers and $4.3 million combined to public deposit customers, and guarantees of letters of credit issued for CIBM Bank customers by a correspondent bank. Required pledged securities totaled $16.8 million in fair market value to collateralize these current outstanding liabilities and contingent liabilities. Pledged securities of $18.2 million at March 31, 2012 are in excess of pledging requirements and are generally available for pledge release and, in many cases, provide borrowing availability used by CIBM Bank for managing its liquidity. At December 31, 2011, $19.2 million pledged liabilities and contingent liabilities were outstanding requiring pledged securities with a market value of $18.3 million. In addition, CIBM Bank pledged $12.2 million in commercial real estate loans to provide at least $6.9 million of potential borrowing availability at the Federal Reserve discount window. During 2012, CIBM Bank received an upgrade from the FHLBC allowing the use of a blanket lien for qualifying loan assets which increased CIBM Bank’s availability of borrowing credit with the agency. As a result, additional potential borrowings available at the FHLBC at March 31, 2012 were $37.1 million.

 

Deposits originating from within CIB Marine’s markets are CIBM Bank’s primary source of funding. Total deposits less pledged deposits, were $420.1 million and $418.5 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the CIB Marine parent company had $2.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in total cash and cash equivalents. In addition, a subsidiary of the parent company had $7.0 million in cash and due from banks, $0.7 million in loans held for sale, $0.8 million in net loans and $0.8 million in OREO at March 31, 2012. At December 31, 2011, a subsidiary of the parent company had $5.6 million in cash and due from banks, $2.1 million in loans held for sale, $0.7 million in net loans and $0.8 million in OREO. According to the Bank Holding Company Act, “a bank holding company shall serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and shall not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner.” Pursuant to this mandate, CIB Marine has continued to monitor the capital strength and liquidity of CIBM Bank.

 

CIB Marine knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to result in a material increase or decrease in it liquidity.

 

Capital

 

CIB Marine’s stockholders’ equity was $65.2 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $64.2 million at December 31, 2011. The increase in the first quarter of 2012 was primarily the result of a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.1 million partially offset by a net loss of $0.1 million.

 

CIB Marine and CIBM Bank are subject to various regulatory capital guidelines. In general, these guidelines define the various components of core capital and assign risk weights to various categories of assets. The risk-based capital guidelines require financial institutions to maintain minimum levels of capital as a percentage of risk weighted assets. The risk-based capital information for CIB Marine is contained in the following table:

Tier 1 leverage to average assets     67,999       13.15       20,685       4.00  

 

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, CIB Marine was subject to a Written Agreement it entered into with the Federal Reserve Bank. Among other things, the Written Agreement requires CIB Marine to maintain a sufficient capital position for the consolidated organization including the current and future capital requirements of its subsidiary bank, nonbank subsidiaries and the consolidated organization. The Written Agreement will remain in effect until it is stayed, modified, terminated, or suspended by the Federal Reserve Bank. At March 31, 2012, the Tier 1 leverage ratio was 13.49%, which was above the minimum requirement specified in the Written Agreement.

 

CIBM Bank is under a Consent Order that includes a requirement to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10% and a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 12%. At March 31 2012, CIBM Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio to total assets at the end of the period was 11.22% and its total capital to risk weighted asset ratio was 14.75%.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

CIB Marine is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. CIB Marine has entered into commitments to extend credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheets.

 

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

 

CIB Marine’s consolidated financial statements and notes contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of CIB Marine’s operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all of CIB Marine’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates and changes therein have a greater impact on CIB Marine’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

 

48
 

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Since December 31, 2011, CIB Marine’s market risk profile has not changed significantly and net interest income over the next year would be more favorable for the up 200 rate scenario versus up 100 or down 100 or 200.

The following table illustrates the expected percentage change in net interest income over a one year period due to an immediate change in the short-term U.S. prime rates of interest and by the same amount and direction parallel shifts in the related U.S. Treasury and LIBOR swap yield curves at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, except that downward rate changes are limited across the yield curves by a floor of 0.25% for purposes of performing the analysis. The significant amount of short term earning assets held in CIBM Bank’s interest earning Federal Reserve Bank due from account is creating a more positive result if interest rates should rise. There is no guarantee as to when or how much interest rates rise in the future, or whether CIBM Bank will still have significant balances in short term earning assets at that time.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

CIB Marine’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of CIB Marine’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2012. CIB Marine's disclosure controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide a reasonable assurance of achieving the controls' stated goals. Based on their evaluation, CIB Marine’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2012.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

CIB Marine and CIBM Bank engage in legal actions and proceedings, both as plaintiffs and defendants, from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In some instances, such actions and proceedings involve substantial claims for compensatory or punitive damages or involve claims for an unspecified amount of damages. There are, however, presently no proceedings pending or contemplated which, in CIB Marine’s opinion, would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position since the filing of the 2011 Form 10-K.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Shareholders or potential investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in CIB Marine’s 2011 Form 10-K and the updated risk factors in its subsequent filings with the SEC. Additional risks that are not currently known to CIB Marine, or that it currently believes to be immaterial, may also have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
