These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc.’s (“CIB Marine” or the “Company”) 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2008 Form 10-K”). 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. In preparation of these statements and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855 (“ASC 855-10”) (see New Accounting Pronouncements below), CIB Marine has reviewed and evaluated subsequent events through the date this Form 10-Q was filed. The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CIB Marine and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, including companies which are held for disposal. 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 loans losses, valuation of investments and impairment, if any, 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 and both local and national economic conditions. Changes in these factors can significantly affect CIB Marine’s results of operations and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities.

Assets and liabilities of companies held for disposal are carried at the lower of cost or current fair value, less estimated selling costs and the aggregate assets and liabilities are shown as separate categories on the consolidated balance sheets. The net income or loss of companies which meet the criteria as discontinued operations are included in income from discontinued operations for all periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the assets and liabilities of companies held for disposal and net income or loss from discontinued operations as presented on the consolidated financial statements.

CIB Marine has determined it has one reportable continuing business segment. CIB Marine, through the branch network of its subsidiary bank, CIBM Bank (the “Bank”), provides a broad range of financial services to businesses and individuals in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Arizona. These services include commercial and retail lending and accepting deposits.

As discussed in Note 2-Pre-packaged Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, CIB Marine has filed a pre-packaged Plan of Reorganization and also filed as Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 5, 2009 (the “Plan”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”). FASB ASC 852 Reorganizations, which is applicable to companies operating under Chapter 11, generally does not change the manner in which financial statements are prepared. However, ASC 852 does require that the financial statements for periods subsequent to the filing of a Chapter 11 petition distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business, as well as additional disclosures. CIB Marine is the sole debtor in the bankruptcy case. Where the term “Company,” “CIB Marine” or “Debtor” is used in this Form 10-Q to describe any bankruptcy related events, such reference only describes events effecting the Company and not the Bank or any other subsidiary.

7

 
CIB Marine adopted ASC 852 for its debtor financial statements effective September 15, 2009 (the “Filing Date”) and prepared its financial statements in accordance with the requirements of ASC 852. The restructuring of the Company will have no direct impact on the operations of the Bank, which is regulated separately from the Company by both federal and state regulators and whose accounts are insured by the FDIC. Revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses and provisions for losses that can be directly associated with the reorganization are reported separately as reorganization items in CIB Marine’s statements of operations. The balance sheet distinguishes pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise both from those pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and from post-petition liabilities. Liabilities that may be affected by the Plan are reported at the amounts expected to be allowed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (the “Bankruptcy Court”), although they may ultimately be settled for different amounts. In addition, cash provided by or used for reorganization items is disclosed separately in CIB Marine’s statement of cash flows. See Note 3-Company Financial Statements (Debtor Financials) for further information about CIB Marine’s financial statement presentation under ASC 852.

As a result of CIB Marine’s inability to make the required payments on its junior subordinated debentures (“Debentures”), as further discussed in Note 12-Pre-petition Debt (Junior Subordinated Debentures), continued losses, and in consideration of existing regulatory matters, as also stated in the 2008 Form 10-K, there is substantial doubt about CIB Marine’s ability to continue as a going concern. CIB Marine’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. CIB Marine’s ability to meet its obligations as they come due is substantially dependent on the successful execution of its capital plan outlined in its 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2007 Form 10-K”) and updated in the 2008 Form 10-K and the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy reorganization. See the “Liquidity and Capital Plan Update” later in this Form 10-Q for a further update on the capital plan. CIB Marine’s interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should its capital plan be unsuccessful.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On July 1, 2009, the FASB issued the ASC which became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. The ASC, which became effective in the third quarter of 2009, did not have a material financial impact on CIB Marine’s financial statements as the statement was not intended to change GAAP, but rather to change references in financial statements and accounting policies.

In September 2006, FASB issued a standard, ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which established a single authoritative definition of fair value, set out a framework for measuring fair value and provided a hierarchal disclosure framework for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. In 2008, CIB Marine partially adopted ASC 820-10-65 with respect to financial assets and liabilities and elected to defer adoption of ASC 820-10-65 on assets and liabilities that met the criteria of ASC 820-10-15. ASC 820-10-15 allowed deferral of ASC 820-10-65 with respect to nonfinancial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, assets that have been deemed to be impaired). During the first quarter of 2009, CIB Marine adopted ASC 820-10-65 with respect to assets and liabilities that had met the deferral criteria of ASC 820-10-15. These included foreclosed properties and assets and liabilities of companies held for disposal. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 with respect to nonrecurring, nonfinancial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on CIB Marine’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 4-Fair Value of Financial Instruments for ASC 820-10-65 disclosures.

In April 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 320 Investments-Debt and Equity Securities and to ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. CIB Marine elected early adoption of ASC 320-10-65 and, as discussed above, ASC 820-10-65 in the first quarter of 2009. See Note 6-Securities Available for Sale for further information of ASC 320-10-65.

Also in April 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 825 Financial Instruments. This amended statement requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in all interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. See Note 4-Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional disclosure requirements regarding fair value.

The FASB, through an amendment to ASC 820-10-65, also provided guidance on determining fair value when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. Based on the guidance of this standard, if an entity determines that the level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased and that a transaction is not orderly, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed and a significant adjustment to the transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10-15. Adoption of ASC 820-10-65 in the first quarter of 2009 did not have a material impact on CIB Marine’s consolidated financial statements.

8

 
The FASB also amended ASC 320 Investments-Debt and Equity Securities which applies to investments in debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) may be recorded. If an entity’s management asserts that it does not have the intent to sell a debt security and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, then an entity may separate OTTI into two components: (1) the amount related to credit losses (recorded in earnings), and (2) all other amounts (recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”)). During the period of adoption of ASC 320-10-65, management is required to separately identify whether OTTI charges recognized in periods prior to adoption on securities held at the beginning of the period of adoption were related to credit losses or other non-credit factors at the measurement date of impairment. Upon adoption, the cumulative effect of any previously recorded OTTI losses related to non-credit factors are recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings with a corresponding adjustment to AOCI. During 2008, CIB Marine recognized $1.8 million in OTTI losses on debt securities held at January 1, 2009 (the beginning of the period of adoption of the ASC 320-10-65). Management determined, based on the present value of expected cash flows in accordance with applicable guidance, that $1.6 million of the $1.8 million previously recognized OTTI losses related to non-credit factors. CIB Marine does not intend to sell these impaired securities and it is not more likely than not that CIB Marine will be required to sell these securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis of each of these securities. Accordingly, the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 320-10-65 during the first quarter of 2009 was a $1.6 million reduction to the January 1, 2009 accumulated deficit with a $1.6 million increase to accumulated other comprehensive losses.

In May 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 855 Subsequent Events, setting forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management shall evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, and the circumstances under which entities shall recognize such events after the balance sheet date in its financial statements. Adoption of this standard and the required disclosures did not have a material impact on CIB Marine’s consolidated financial statements. In preparation of these financial statements and in accordance with ASC 855-10, CIB Marine has reviewed and evaluated subsequent events through the date this Form 10-Q was filed.

Note 2-Pre-packaged Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code

CIB Marine is the sole debtor in the bankruptcy case. Where the term “Company,” “CIB Marine” or “Debtor” is used in this Form 10-Q to describe any bankruptcy related events, such reference only describes events effecting the Company and not the Bank or any other subsidiary.

On September 15, 2009, the requisite beneficial owners of CIB Marine’s trust preferred securities (“TruPS”) gave approval to the Plan which paved the way for the Company to file the Plan in Bankruptcy Court (Case No. 09-33318) under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The restructuring of the Company pursuant to the Plan will have no direct impact on the operations of the Bank, which is regulated separately from the Company by both federal and state regulators and whose accounts are insured by the FDIC. The Company continues to operate its business as a “debtor in possession” under the jurisdiction and supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. CIB Marine is continuing normal business operations during the bankruptcy process and continues to take steps to reduce costs, increase revenue, and resolve loan credit issues with the intention of making, CIB Marine a stronger and more viable company upon emergence from bankruptcy. The direct effects of the Plan on CIB Marine will be to improve earnings by eliminating the interest burden associated with its TruPS-related indebtedness, and to significantly improve the capital position at the Company.

On September 16, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court approved certain first-day motions in the Chapter 11 case including, without limitation, orders authorizing the process of payment of suppliers, professionals and certain operating expenses.

Plan of Reorganization

The primary purpose of the Plan is to effectuate the restructuring and substantial de-leveraging of CIB Marine’s capital structure and to enhance its regulatory capital position. The Plan will allow CIB Marine to continue its businesses in the ordinary course and provides for full payment of allowed unsecured claims as defined in the Plan. The funds expected to be generated by CIB Marine’s operations will not be sufficient to meet its debt service requirements and satisfy its debt obligations without this restructuring.

9

 
Under the Plan, approximately $107.2 million of cumulative high-interest indebtedness of the TruPS will be exchanged for 55,624 shares of Series A 7% fixed rate preferred noncumulative perpetual stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share (“Series A Preferred”) and 4,376 shares of Series B 7% fixed rate convertible noncumulative perpetual preferred stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share (“Series B Preferred” and together with Series A Preferred, “CIB Marine Preferred”). Each share of Series B Preferred is convertible into 4,000 shares of CIB Marine common stock only upon the consummation of a merger transaction involving CIB Marine where CIB Marine is not the surviving entity. CIB Marine Preferred will have no stated redemption date and the holders will not have the right to compel the redemption of any or all of the shares. Further, dividends are noncumulative and payable only to the extent CIB Marine declared a dividend, at its discretion and subject to regulatory approval.

In connection with developing the Plan, CIB Marine reviewed its current business operations and compared its prospects as an ongoing business enterprise with the estimated recoveries of claims and equity interests in various liquidation scenarios. As a result, CIB Marine concluded that the recovery for holders of allowed claims and equity interests as defined in the Plan would be maximized by continuing to operate as a going concern. CIB Marine believes that its businesses and assets have significant value that would not be realized in liquidation, either in whole or in substantial part. Consistent with the liquidation analysis included in the Plan, the value of CIB Marine’s assets would be considerably greater if CIB Marine operates as a going concern instead of liquidating.

Continuation as a Going Concern

CIB Marine’s financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As a result of the Company bankruptcy filing, such realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities is subject to uncertainty. While the Company operates as a debtor in possession under the protection of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for amounts other than those recorded in its financial statements, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business. CIB Marine’s financial statements as of September 30, 2009 do not give effect to all the adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities that may become necessary as a consequence of the Company’s reorganization.

CIB Marine’s continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to manage to the extent possible the Risk Factors outlined in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q. Although steps are being taken to achieve these objectives, there is no assurance that success will be achieved or that any measures that are achievable will result in sufficient improvement to CIB Marine’s financial position. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about CIB Marine’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Liabilities Subject to Compromise

As required by ASC 825, the Company has recorded liability amounts for the claims that can be reasonably estimated and which CIB Marine believes are probable of being allowed by the Bankruptcy Court. Liabilities subject to compromise may change due to reclassifications, settlements or reorganization activities that give rise to new claims or increases in existing claims. Liabilities subject to compromise in the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2009 of $107.2 million consisted of principal on the Debentures of $61.9 million and accrued interest on those borrowings of $45.3 million.

As of the Filing Date, CIB Marine discontinued recording additional interest expense on the Debentures. On a consolidated basis, contractual interest that was not recorded as interest expense amounted to $0.4 million for both the quarter and the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.

Reorganization Items

Professional advisory fees and other costs directly associated with the Plan are reported separately as reorganization expense pursuant to ASC 825. Reorganization items may also include provisions and adjustments to record the carrying value of certain pre-petition liabilities at their estimated allowable claim amounts as a result of the Company’s bankruptcy proceedings. For both the quarter and the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, $0.1 million of professional fees associated with the Bankruptcy have been recorded in the statements of operations. No reorganization expenses were incurred in 2008.

10

 
Bankruptcy Reporting Requirements

The Company began to submit monthly operating reports to the Bankruptcy Court in October 2009. These monthly reports are prepared according to the requirements of federal bankruptcy law. While CIB Marine believes that these reports will provide then-current information required under federal bankruptcy law, they will nonetheless be unconsolidated, unaudited, prepared in a format different from that used in CIB Marine’s consolidated financial statements filed under the securities laws and would be prepared for the unconsolidated holding company only. Accordingly, CIB Marine believes that the substance and format of the materials will not allow meaningful comparison with its regular publicly disclosed consolidated financial statements. Moreover, the materials filed with the Bankruptcy Court will not be prepared for the purpose of providing a basis for an investment decision relating to CIB Marine’s securities or for comparison with other financial information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Additional information on the Chapter 11 filing is available at http://www.cibm-reorgdocs.com.

Note 4-Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table presents information about CIB Marine’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009, 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.

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, and certain mortgage-backed and government agency securities. Securities classified under Level 2 inputs include those where quoted market prices are available from an inactive market, 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 U.S. dollar 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 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 pooled TruPS 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.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments, OTC Written Options and Mortgage Forward Sale Agreements. Together referred to as “Interest Rate Derivatives,” these instruments’ fair values are based on Level 2 quoted prices for similar transactions. The Interest Rate Derivatives reported are all related to the residential mortgage activity of CIB Marine. Interest Rate Lock Commitments are agreements with customers to originate residential mortgage loans at agreed upon interest rates. OTC Written Options represent CIB Marine’s agreement with a counterparty to deliver each respective loan agreed to under an Interest Rate Lock Commitment at a set price if the loan closes as agreed and within an agreed time period, and Mortgage Forward Sale Agreements represent CIB Marine’s agreement to deliver each respective closed loan as reported in loans held for sale within the agreed time period. Credit risk is minimal due to the combination of relatively low level of activity, the short-term nature of the Interest Rate Derivatives and the credit worthiness of the counterparty. The carrying value of the Interest Rate Derivatives are reported in Other Assets and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and gains and losses are recorded in Other Income of the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Notional Amounts are reported within this Note.

Impaired Loans. Impaired loans often, but not always, have an impairment loss. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses. The impairment loss is based on a 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 with an impairment loss and where that impairment loss was determined based upon a fair value estimate of the collateral.

Foreclosed Properties. Foreclosed property fair value estimates are provided using Level 2 inputs, including primarily the appraised value of the real estate with certain other market correlated or corroborated information.

Other Equity Investments. Other equity investments are those equity investments represented in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Note 9-Other Assets that are carried at market value when it is below CIB Marine’s cost. The fair value is estimated using Level 3 inputs based primarily on an estimate of CIB Marine’s respective ownership share in the net worth of the entity.

See Junior Subordinated Debentures below for Estimated Fair Value information.

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.
 
15

 
While these estimated fair value amounts are designed to represent estimates of the amounts at which these instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, it is CIB Marine’s intent to hold most of its financial instruments to maturity. Therefore, it is not probable that the fair values shown will be realized in a current transaction.

The estimated fair values disclosed do not reflect the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the value of long-term relationships with depositors (core deposit intangibles) is not reflected. The value of this item is significant.

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 required by ASC 825-10-65.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value. For purposes of this disclosure only, cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, Federal Funds sold and reverse repurchase agreements.

Available for Sale Securities

The estimated fair values of securities by type are provided in Note 6-Securities Available for Sale. These are based on quoted market prices, when available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using Level 2 and Level 3 pricing inputs as described within this Note 4-Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

Loans held for Sale

The fair value of loans held for sale, consisting primarily of commercial loans and residential mortgage loans, is estimated based on the underlying value of the collateral of the commercial loan and using current market prices for similar residential mortgage loans in the market.

Loans Receivable

The fair values of loans receivable were estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and maturities. The carrying value of loans receivable is net of the allowance for loan losses.

Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Stock

The carrying amounts of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank (“Reserve Bank”) stock approximate their fair values.

Accrued Interest Receivable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate its fair value.

 
16

 

Deposit Liabilities

The carrying value of deposits with no stated maturity approximates their fair value as they are payable on demand. The estimated fair value of fixed time deposits is based on discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rates used in these analyses are based on market rates of alternative funding sources currently available for similar remaining maturities.

Short-term Borrowings

The carrying value of short-term borrowings payable within three months or less approximates their fair value. 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 cash flows discounted at a current market rate for similar types of debt. 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.

Long-term Borrowings

The fair market value of long-term borrowings payable were based on discounted cash flows using current quoted rates as the discount rate.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

An estimate of fair value of the Debentures for December 31, 2008 had not been made because it was not practicable to make such estimate at that time. Information pertinent to estimating fair value is available in Note 12-Pre-petition Debt (Junior Subordinated Debentures).

Liabilities Subject to Compromise (Junior Subordinated Debentures)

An estimate of fair value of the Debentures and the related accrued interest payable for September 30, 2009 has not been made because it is not practical to make such an estimate at this time due to the bankruptcy proceeding. Information pertinent to estimating fair value is available in Note 12-Pre-petition Debt (Junior Subordinated Debentures).

Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amount of accrued interest is used to approximate its fair value.

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.

The fair value of interest rate derivatives are estimated using Level 2 quoted prices for similar transactions described within this Note.

Note 5-Stock Option Plans

CIB Marine has a nonqualified stock option and incentive plan for its employees and directors. At September 30, 2009, options to purchase 752,326 shares were available for future grant. The plan provides for the options to be exercisable over a ten-year period beginning one year from the date of the grant, provided the participant has remained in the employ of, or on the Board of Directors of, CIB Marine and/or one of its subsidiaries. The plan also provides that the exercise price of the options granted may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the option grant date. Options vest over five years. CIB Marine issues new shares upon the exercise of options.

    366,900  

Fair value has been estimated using the Black-Scholes model as defined in ASC 718-10. There were no options granted in the first nine months of 2009.

ASC 718-10’s fair value method resulted in $0.1 million compensation expense for both the first nine months of 2009 and 2008. In accordance with ASC 718-10, CIB Marine is required to estimate potential forfeitures of stock grants and adjust compensation expense recorded accordingly. The estimate of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized in the period of change and will also impact the amount of stock compensation expense to be recorded in future periods. At September 30, 2009, CIB Marine had $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

ASC 718-10 also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow rather than an operating cash flow as required under previous literature. There were no such tax benefits during the first nine months of 2009 or 2008.

CIB Marine records amounts received upon the exercise of options by crediting common stock and capital surplus. Income tax benefits from the exercise of stock options result in a decrease in current income taxes payable and, to the extent not previously recognized as a reduction in income tax expense, an additional increase in capital surplus.

For those securities with fair value less than cost at September 30, 2009, because CIB Marine does not intend to sell the investment and it is not 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 be OTTI; except for the following: (1) two mortgage-backed securities (non-agency) (“Non-agency MBS”) $0.1 million credit related OTTI during the third quarter of 2009, with amortized costs and unrealized losses totaling $3.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, at September 30, 2009 and (2) two structured debt obligations collateralized by diversified pools of bank TruPS and subordinated debt included in other notes and bonds collateralized debt obligations with $0.07 million credit related OTTI during the third quarter of 2009, with amortized costs and unrealized losses totaling $4.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

19

 
Proceeds from the sales of securities available for sale during the first quarter of 2009 were $13.3 million and CIB Marine realized a gain on the sale of $0.6 million. There were no sales of securities during the first nine months of 2008 or in the second and third quarters of 2009.

Net unrealized losses on investment securities at September 30, 2009 were $5.5 million compared to $10.0 million at December 31, 2008. As of September 30, 2009, other notes and bonds accounted for $4.2 million, Non-agency MBS accounted for $6.4 million and other equity accounted for $0.2 million in net unrealized losses. The remaining securities have net unrealized gains of $5.3 million at September 30, 2009.

Municipal Securities. As of September 30, 2009 the municipal securities were all rated investment grade by nationally recognized statistical rating agencies, except one security rated B. That security had a par value of $2.5 million and an unrealized loss of $0.04 million. 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. In addition, CIB Marine has determined a credit loss does not exist and as a result has not recognized any OTTI in its municipal securities.

Other Notes and Bonds. At September 30, 2009, CIB Marine held $8.9 million par value with an amortized cost of $8.7 million and $4.5 million fair value of other notes and bonds, which included $8.7 million par value with an amortized cost of $8.6 million and $4.3 million fair value of structured debt obligations collateralized by diversified pools of bank TruPS and subordinated debt and to a lesser extent insurance company and real estate investment trust debt. None of CIB Marine’s other note and bond security holdings, beneficial or otherwise, of TruPS or subordinated debt issued by organizations in the financial industry are in the form of a single-issuer debt obligation. The fair value of these securities was $3.3 million at December 31, 2008. To a limited extent these securities are protected against loss by credit enhancements such as over-collateralization and subordinated securities. Unless they are the most senior class security in the structure, they also may be a security that is subordinated to more senior classes.

CIB Marine evaluates for OTTI and performs assessments depending on the security as prescribed by ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and ASC 320 Investments-Debt and Equity Securities, and ASC 325 Investments-Other. In addition, for some of the evaluations for OTTI, CIB Marine performs assessments prescribed by ASC 325-40-65 in determining whether it is probable that an adverse change in the estimated cash flows has occurred. This evaluation of estimated cash flows includes an assessment of the credit risk inherent in the pool of collateral, estimates of the timing and severity of the issuer deferrals and defaults and related recovery and their impact on estimated cash flow waterfalls for both interest and principal. CIB Marine also considers current levels of over-collateralization and collateral coverage tests that trigger changes in the cash flow waterfalls in performing the analysis.

To determine whether there has been an adverse change in estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously projected, the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the date they were last previously revised (or the initial transaction if not previously revised) is compared against the present value of the cash flows estimated at the current financial reporting date. The cash flows are discounted at a rate equal to the current yield used to accrete the beneficial interest.

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 3% and declining towards 0.25% by year 2014, loss severity rates of approximately 85%, and prepayment speeds of approximately 1% per annum. In addition, individual issuers within the collateral pool were evaluated and, based on performance information, evaluated for potential default and those amounts were compared to the current assessed level of defaults needed to reduce the yield through the maturity of the securities from the original yield at acquisition. Resulting cash flows were projected considering the affects of related subordinated securities and various waterfall rules related to the structure of the related securities issued sharing an interest in the collateral pool to derive expected credit loss outcomes through maturity.

CIB Marine does not intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of its other notes and bonds before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity. For information on these securities see the table below titled “Structured Debt Obligations Collateralized Primarily by Pooled Trust Preferred Securities.” For CIB Marine’s holdings in PreTSL 23 and 26 at September 30, 2009 the deferrals and defaults of issuers in the collateral pools have risen to a level that holders of these securities began receiving “payments-in-kind” (“PIK”) at their last payment date in June 2009 and are expected to continue to receive PIK rather than cash at their future interest due dates, and in taking this in combination with the expected future deferrals and defaults given the deterioration in the financial industry has expanded enough to consider these two securities to be OTTI. The cash that is received from performing issuers in each respective collateral pool will be directed to pay down the par values of certain classes senior to the class held by CIB Marine’s thereby reducing the more senior classes’ par values and by this process itself improving the collateral position of CIB Marine’s subordinated classes. In effect, PIK acts like a compounding of interest for CIB Marine’s holdings and will continue until such time as certain collateral thresholds are restored, if they are restored, at which time payments in cash will resume. At this time CIB Marine expects that the cash payments will be restored at some time in the future and CIB Marine will be paid all amounts due under the contractual arrangement except for $0.07 million in credit related OTTI recorded during the third quarter of 2009. It is estimated for Class C-FP of PreTSL 23 and Class B-1 of PreTSL 26, it would take an additional 19% and 26%, respectively, of performing collateral to defer or default for there to be a reduction in the yield through the maturity of the securities from the original yield at acquisition (a “Break in Yield”).

Due to the uncertainties related to the timing and amounts of the future payments for Class C-FP of PreTSL 23 and Class B-1 of PreTSL 26, however, CIB Marine considers them to be OTTI and has recorded $0.07 million in credit related OTTI during the third quarter of 2009, and placed them on non-accrual. Further deterioration in the financial industry beyond what is currently expected potentially could result in additional OTTI related to credit loss that would be recognized through a reduction in earnings. The $3.1 million of unrealized loss recorded in the AOCI is largely related to a decline in prices in these securities over the course of the past year due to the lack of demand and liquidity in this securities sector, the deteriorated condition of the economy, capital markets and financial industry and the perceptively higher risk today that losses in the collateral pools could be higher than what is expected. With the contractual PIK process described earlier in this section, all the respective securities were performing as to full and timely payments at September 30, 2009 as permitted under the contractual arrangements.

CIB Marine’s security holdings in PreTSL 27 and 28 are the most senior of the classes in the deal; CIB Marine’s security holdings in PreTSL 23 and 26 are not the most senior of the classes in the deal nor are they the most deeply subordinated.

The percent of additional immediate defaults of performing collateral at a 15% 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 PIK but later paid in cash in addition to any accrued interest on the PIKs. Based on a collateral level analysis, PreTSL 23 projected deferrals and defaults indicate there would be a break in yield resulting in credit component OTTI.

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.

Mortgage-Backed Securities (Non-Agencies). The unrealized losses in Non-agency MBS were primarily caused by deterioration in credit quality and financial market liquidity conditions. This has impacted the market prices to varying degrees for each respective security holding based upon the relative credit quality and liquidity premiums applicable to each security. At September 30, 2009, CIB Marine had Non-agency MBS holdings of $70.5 million par value with a fair value of $63.1 million, down from holdings at December 31, 2008, of $96.5 million par value with a fair value of $85.0 million. The decline of $26.0 million in par value was due entirely to the repayment and prepayment of principal. CIB Marine’s principal and interest payments received from the securities from the purchase date through September 30, 2009, have all been timely and in full.

At the time of purchase, all of CIB Marine’s Non-agency MBS were credit rated AAA by all of Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s and Fitch to the extent they had rated the security, and in every case at least two of the firms had rated each security. In addition, at September 30, 2009, all these securities were performing with respect to the full and timely receipt of principal and interest payments due to CIB Marine. At September 30, 2009, securities with a par value of $25.3 million and unrealized losses of $4.4 million were below investment grade compared to securities with a par value of $4.2 million and no unrealized losses at December 31, 2008. The table below displays the current composition of the Non-agency MBS portfolio based on the lowest credit rating assigned by any of Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s or Fitch that have assigned a rating.

BB and lower credit ratings are considered to be below investment grade. All the securities were originally AAA.

Non-agency MBS are assessed for OTTI within the scope of ASC 320 Investments-Debt and Equity Securities, by determining whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary. If an OTTI is determined to exist, then the cost basis of the security is written down by the amount of OTTI recognized in earnings. If CIB Marine does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that CIB Marine will be required to sell the investments before recovery of the amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings is the amount related to expected credit loss only and not the level of impairment related to other factors; otherwise it is the full unrealized loss of the security related to both credit loss, as well as to other factors.

CIB Marine considers a number of factors in assessing whether or not a credit loss exists and the period over which recovery of any unrealized loss is expected to occur, including: the length of time the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, the payment structure of the debt security, failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments, any changes to the rating by a rating agency, recoveries or any additional decline to the fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date, the degree to which any subordinated interests (if any) are able to absorb estimated losses in the collateral, and conditions related to the specific security and its collateral. With respect to the latter, a number of factors are considered, including past and current debt ratings, projected prepayment speeds, past and current payment status, past and current levels of defaults and estimates of related recoveries, and estimates of future defaults and their related recoveries, and other factors. Estimates of future levels of defaults and related recoveries involve consideration of a number of contributing inputs, including but not limited to the year of origination, current pay status, trends in home value appreciation (depreciation) for year of issuance, original loan-to-value ratios, borrower credit scores, loan documentation types and others. In addition to using various sources for the inputs from others deemed to be reliable, the resulting estimates of collateral losses are compared to those derived by others, where available, to determine reasonableness of the estimates.

The predominant form of underlying collateral in the Non-agency MBS is fixed rate, first lien single family residential mortgages of both conforming and jumbo mortgage size with both traditional and non-traditional underwriting qualities (e.g., jumbo, conforming Alt-A and jumbo Alt-A which includes reduced documentation types). All of CIB Marine’s Non-agency MBS are senior in position to the issuance of securities that included subordinated tranches of securities issued to absorb losses, to the extent they are able, prior to CIB Marine’s securities. The securities are from vintages between and including 2002 through 2006. As of September 30, 2009, the vintages from 2004 or earlier represented $30.7 million in amortized cost with a market value of $29.8 million and an unrealized loss of $0.9 million, and the vintages from 2005 through 2006 represented $38.7 million in amortized cost with a market value of $33.3 million and an unrealized loss of $5.4 million. As of September 30 2009, the mean and median percentages for each security, respectively, of various delinquency and non-performance measures to the total mortgage loans collateralizing those securities were: (1) 3.06% and 1.53%, respectively, for loans 60 or more days past due but not in foreclosure or transferred to other real estate owned, (2) 2.97% and 1.07%, respectively, for loans in foreclosure plus other real estate owned, and (3) 6.03% and 2.45%, respectively, for the total of loans 60 or more days past due, in foreclosure and other real estate owned. With respect to the ratios reported in (3), the range across the securities was 0.0% to 28.2%. The State of California represents the highest geographic concentration of loans with a range of loans within each respective securities collateral pool ranging from 16% to 100% from California but with the majority of the securities within 30% to 50%. Other states representing geographic concentrations of at least 10% within any one or more of the collateral pools include Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Texas and Virginia.

CIB Marine does not intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of its Non-agency MBS before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, except for two securities where CIB Marine does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost of the securities. For those two securities, OTTI related to credit loss and recognized in earnings was $0.2 million and $0.1 million during 2008 and the first three quarters of 2009, respectively; and the OTTI related to other factors and recognized in AOCI was $0.2 million and $0.3 million during 2008 and the first three quarters of 2009, respectively. On January 1, 2009 upon adoption of ASC 320-10-65 an adjustment of $1.6 million was made between retained earnings and AOCI that had previously been recognized in earnings during 2008, as required under previous the accounting standards applicable to the period ended December 31, 2008.

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 included annualized prepayment speeds ranging between 6% and 15%, future cumulative default rates ranging between 34% and 40%, cumulative loss severity rates ranging between 43% and 48%, and resulting future cumulative collateral loss rates ranging between 15% and 19% at a prepayment speed of 6%. Resulting cash flows were projected considering the affects of related subordinated securities to derive expected credit loss outcomes through maturity.

Ranges represent the high and low measures for each security’s respective loan collateral pool for securities with OTTI recognized. Non-performing loans here means past due 60 or more days, in foreclosure or held as real estate owned. The full amount of non-performing 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.

Equity Securities. As of September 30, 2009, CIB Marine held marketable equity securities from a single issuer amounting to $1.0 million in cost basis and $0.8 million in fair value with an unrealized loss of $0.2 million. At December 31, 2008, the unrealized loss on such securities was $0.4 million. The unrealized loss is in part related to the continued decline in community bank stock prices since the time CIB Marine obtained the stock in relation to the sale of certain assets and deposits of Citrus Bank, N.A. during the third quarter of 2008. Based on an evaluation of CIB Marine’s ability and intent to hold the securities for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value, CIB Marine does not consider the securities to be OTTI as of September 30, 2009.

23

 
Expectations that CIB Marine’s other notes and bonds and Non-agency MBS will continue to perform in accordance with their contractual terms, except to the extent a credit loss exists and has been recognized, are based on management assumptions which require the use of estimates and significant judgments. It is possible that the underlying collateral of these investments will perform worse than expected, resulting in adverse changes in cash flows and OTTI charges in future periods. Events which may impact CIB Marine’s assumptions include, but are not limited to, increased delinquencies, default rates and loss severities in the financial instruments comprising the collateral.

Rollfoward of OTTI Related to Credit Loss. The following table is a rollforward of the amount of OTTI related to credit losses that has been recognized in earnings for which a portion of OTTI was recognized in AOCI for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009:

Includes purchased fixed rate home equity pools. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the total outstanding balance of these purchased pools was $37.4 million and $52.2 million, the amount of loans past due 30 to 89 days and still accruing interest was $3.2 million and $2.0 million and the loss reserves allocated to these two pools totaled $5.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

Certain directors and principal officers of CIB Marine and its subsidiaries, as well as companies with which those individuals are affiliated, are customers of, and conduct banking transactions with, the Bank in the ordinary course of business. Such loans totaled $2.0 million and $3.3 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, CIB Marine had $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in outstanding principal balances on loans secured, or partially secured, by CIB Marine stock. No specific reserves were allocated to these loans at both September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Loans made specifically to enable the borrower to purchase CIB Marine stock and which were not adequately secured by collateral other than the stock have been classified as receivables from sale of stock, recorded as contra-equity and are not included in this balance.

The decline in performance of loans, and in particular those classified as nonaccrual loans, caused an increase in impaired loans. The increase in specific allowances related to impaired loans increased by an amount that was less than proportionate to the increase in impaired loans. This is due to charge-offs already taken on certain impaired loans and their respective impairment amounts and due to each new impaired loan’s respective impairment analysis including the level of expected discounted cash flows and collateral valuations.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses were as follows:

During the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, the provision for credit losses included approximately $4.6 million and $10.7 million, respectively, related to the purchased home equity pools as compared to $5.1 million and $9.7 million, during the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans declined from September 30, 2008 to September 30, 2009, as a result of a reduction in the proportion of the portfolio represented by home equity and construction and development loans, and the level of charge-offs for loans relative to the respective loan’s level of allocated allowances for loan losses.

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans serviced for others were $1.5 million and $2.0 million as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Note 8-Companies Held For Disposal and Discontinued Operations

At September 30, 2009, assets and liabilities of companies held for disposal consist entirely of the remaining assets and liabilities of CIB Marine’s wholly owned subsidiary, CIB Construction, including CIB Construction’s subsidiary Canron Corporation (“Canron”). The gross consolidated assets and liabilities of CIB Construction are reported separately on the consolidated balance sheets at their estimated liquidation values less costs to sell. Banking regulations limit the holding period for assets not considered to be permissible banking activities and which have been acquired in satisfaction of debt previously contracted to five years, unless extended. CIB Construction is subject to these restrictions, and CIB Marine has received an extension from the banking regulators to hold Canron until December 31, 2009.

25

 
CIB Construction acquired 84% of the outstanding stock of Canron through loan collection activities in 2002. In the third quarter of 2003, the Board of Directors of Canron authorized management to cease operating Canron and commence a wind down of its affairs, including a voluntary liquidation of its assets. In August 2005, Canron authorized and began liquidation distributions to its shareholders, and in December 2006, Canron filed Articles of Dissolution. At both September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, CIB Construction’s net carrying value of its investment in Canron was zero.

The major components of other investments is investments in limited partnership interests in various affordable housing partnerships, which had a carrying value of $1.0 million and $1.1 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. In addition CIB Marine holds an interest in a small business investment company with a carrying value of $0.1 million at both September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

As a member of the FHLB of Chicago, the Bank is required to maintain minimum amounts of FHLB of Chicago stock as required by that institution.

In October 2007, the FHLB Chicago entered into a consensual Cease and Desist Order (the “FHLB C&D”) with its regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Board (“Finance Board”). The FHLB C&D states that the Finance Board has determined that requiring the FHLB Chicago to take the actions specified in the FHLB C&D will improve the condition and practices of the FHLB Chicago, stabilize its capital, and provide the FHLB Chicago an opportunity to address the principal supervisory concerns identified by the Finance Board. Under the terms of the FHLB C&D, capital stock repurchases and redemptions, including redemptions upon membership withdrawal or other termination, are prohibited unless the Bank has received approval of the Director of the Office of Supervision of the Finance Board ("OS Director"). The FHLB C&D provides that the OS Director may approve a written request by the FHLB Chicago for proposed redemptions or repurchases if the OS Director determines that allowing the redemption or repurchase would be consistent with maintaining the capital adequacy of the FHLB Chicago and its continued safe and sound operations. The FHLB C&D also provides that dividend declarations are subject to the prior written approval of the OS Director and that the FHLB Chicago must submit a Capital Structure Plan to the Finance Board consistent with the requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and Finance Board regulations. Accounting guidance indicates that an investor in FHLB Chicago capital stock should recognize impairment if it concludes that it is not probable that it will ultimately recover the par value of its shares. The decision of whether impairment exists is a matter of judgment that should reflect the investor’s view of FHLB Chicago’s long-term performance, which includes factors such as its operating performance, the severity and duration of declines in the market value of its net assets related to its capital stock amount and other factors including regulatory. Based on this information CIB Marine believes the cost of the investments will be fully recovered. The FHLB Chicago did not declare any dividends for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 or the comparable period in 2008. At both September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, CIB Marine had $11.6 million in FHLB Chicago stock, of which $1.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively, were required stock holdings to maintain the level of borrowings outstanding with the FHLB of Chicago.

CIB Marine is required to maintain qualifying collateral as security for both short-term and long-term FHLB borrowings. The debt to collateral ratio is dependent upon the type of collateral pledged. As part of a collateral arrangement covering both short-term and long-term borrowings from the FHLB, CIB Marine had securities pledged with a fair value of $78.5 million and $74.8 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

In 2004, CIB Marine entered into a written agreement with the Reserve Bank of Chicago (the “Agreement”). Among other items, the Agreement requires CIB Marine to obtain Reserve Bank approval before incurring additional borrowings or debt, and pre-approval to pay interest on Debentures.

Note 11-Long-term Borrowings

Long-term borrowings consist of borrowings having an original maturity of greater than one year.

CIB Marine has formed four statutory business trusts (“Trusts”) for the purpose of issuing TruPS and investing the proceeds thereof in Debentures of CIB Marine. The Trusts used the proceeds from the issuance of the TruPS and the issuance of its common securities to CIB Marine to purchase the Debentures. Interest on the Debentures and distributions on the TruPS are payable either quarterly or semi-annually in arrears. CIB Marine had the right, at any time, as long as there were no continuing events of default, to defer payments of interest on the Debentures for consecutive periods not exceeding five years; but not beyond the stated maturity of the Debentures. As a result of the Agreement entered into with its regulator, CIB Marine elected to defer all such interest payments subsequent to December 31, 2003, and as a result the Trusts deferred distributions on their respective TruPS. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 CIB Marine had accrued interest payable on its $61.9 million Debentures of $45.3 million and $39.1 million, respectively. As of the Filing Date, interest expense on these Debentures is no longer being accrued. These deferral periods all expired in the first quarter of 2009 and CIB Marine did not make the required interest payments such that, by April 30, 2009, CIB Marine was in default with respect to the Debentures issued to all four of the Trusts. In addition, interest also accrues on all interest that was not paid when due, compounded quarterly or semi-annually. During the deferral period and while in default, CIB Marine may not pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment on its stock, or make any payment of principal, interest or premium, or redeem any similar debt securities of CIB Marine, subject to certain limitations. The TruPS are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the Debentures at maturity or their earlier redemption. The TruPS qualify as regulatory capital, subject to regulatory limitation.

On March 16, 2009, CIB Marine issued a consent solicitation seeking the consent of the holders of its TruPS to a proposed restructuring plan that would have converted the debt under the Debentures into preferred stock, thus reducing the ongoing interest expense burden and eliminating any consequences of default on the TruPS (see the discussion in the Liquidity and Capital Plan Update section). The vote was concluded on May 11, 2009, however, CIB Marine did not receive the requisite number of votes to approve the plan of restructuring.

On July 16, 2009, CIB Marine filed a Current Report on Form 8-K regarding a proposed pre-packaged Plan of Reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code that was presented to the TruPS holders for their approval. Under the Plan, approximately $105.3 million (as of July 16, 2009) of cumulative high-interest indebtedness of the TruPS will be exchanged for 55,624 shares of Series A 7% fixed rate preferred noncumulative perpetual stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share and 4,376 shares of Series B 7% fixed rate convertible noncumulative perpetual preferred stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share. Each share of Series B Preferred will be convertible into 4,000 shares of CIB Marine common stock only upon the consummation of a merger transaction involving CIB Marine where CIB Marine is not the surviving entity. The CIB Marine Preferred will have no stated redemption date and holders will not have the right to compel the redemption of any or all of the shares. Further, dividends will be noncumulative and payable only to the extent CIB Marine declared a dividend, at its discretion and subject to regulatory approval. The effects of the Plan, which was approved by the TruPS holders on September 15, 2009 and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on October 29, 2009 would improve earnings by eliminating the interest burden on CIB Marine associated with the TruPS-related indebtedness, and significantly improve its capital position. See Subsequent Events Section in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for update of bankruptcy proceeding.

Under the Plan, common shareholders would not be impaired. If all Series B Preferred shareholders were to convert their shares in connection with a merger, they would own slightly less than 50% of the outstanding common stock and have a right to participate at that level in any merger consideration paid to acquire CIB Marine.

The Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) has a rule limiting the inclusion of Debentures in Tier 1 equity capital. The ruling limited the total restricted Tier 1 capital elements, including Debentures, net of investment in trust, to 25% of total Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability. At September 30, 2009, CIB Marine did not include any of its Debentures in Tier 1 capital.

Note 14-Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

Receivables from Sale of Stock

Loans not sufficiently collateralized by assets other than CIB Marine stock and made by the Bank to borrowers who used the proceeds to acquire CIB Marine stock, are classified as receivables from sale of stock and are accounted for as a reduction of stockholders’ equity and recorded as receivables from sale of stock, unless the loan had been repaid prior to the issuance of the financial statements. The balance of loans classified as receivable from sale of stock was $0.05 million at December 31, 2008. There were no such loans outstanding at September 30, 2009.

Treasury Stock

The Bank acquired certain shares of CIB Marine stock through collection efforts when the borrowers defaulted on their loans. Any loan balance in excess of the estimated fair value of the stock and other collateral received was charged to the allowance for loan losses. Also, during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, CIB Marine repurchased 205,836 shares of stock held in the employee stock ownership plan sponsored by CIB Marine. At both September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 7,452 shares of treasury stock were directly owned by the Bank and thus were not excluded from the number of shares outstanding.

Regulatory Capital

CIB Marine and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the banking agencies. Pursuant to federal bank holding company and bank regulations, CIB Marine and the Bank are assigned to a capital category. The assigned capital category is largely determined by three ratios that are calculated in accordance with specific instructions included in the regulations: total risk adjusted capital, Tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank‘s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by its regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain total risk adjusted capital, Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios of 10.0%, 6.0% and 5.0%, respectively.

There are five capital categories defined in the regulations: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. Classification of the Bank in any of the undercapitalized categories can result in certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Under the definition of capital levels within the C&D order, a bank is classified as adequately capitalized if it is at or above the targeted level of capital specified in the order. At September 30, 2009, the Bank was adequately capitalized under this definition.

At both September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, CIB Marine was subject to the Agreement it entered into with the Reserve Bank in the second quarter of 2004. Among other items, the Agreement requires CIB Marine to maintain a sufficient capital position for the consolidated organization including the current and future capital requirements of the Bank, CIB Marine’s nonbank subsidiaries and the consolidated organization. As of September 30, 2009, CIB Marine’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was a negative 0.50% compared to 3.58% at December 31, 2008 and was below the 4.0% required by the Agreement. The decline reflects the continued operating losses of CIB Marine during the first nine months of 2009. Depending on the extent of continuing losses incurred by CIB Marine in future periods as well as the overall size of its balance sheet, further credit downgrades and OTTI adjustments to its securities portfolio and potential loan losses and recoveries, CIB Marine’s capital ratios could decline further. CIB Marine’s ability to increase its capital and meet the requirements of the Agreement is dependent upon the successful execution of the Plan outlined in Note 2-Pre-packaged Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

CIB Marine continues to focus on the safety and soundness of the Bank. CIB Marine has provided the Bank with $5.0 million of capital during 2008 and an additional $4.0 million in 2009. This is consistent with CIB Marine’s goal of supporting strong capital and liquidity positions at the Bank and is in keeping with its source of strength obligations under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). While in bankruptcy, if capital is required at the Bank, CIB Marine must petition the Bankruptcy Court for permission to contribute the needed capital to the Bank. However, other capital management strategies such as balance sheet management and investment portfolio sales can still be employed by the Bank.

In its 2008 Form 10-K, CIB Marine disclosed that its Wisconsin state-chartered bank subsidiary at the time, Marine Bank, stipulated to a cease and desist order (the “C&D”) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banking (the “WDFI”). The terms of the C&D were described in CIB Marine’s 2008 Form 10-K. The C&D became effective on April 24, 2009. Failure to adhere to the requirements of the actions mandated by the C&D could have subjected Marine Bank to more severe restrictions and civil monetary penalties. The C&D added no additional requirements to the asset quality and loan review program previously implemented by Marine Bank. When Marine Bank merged with and into CIB Marine’s Illinois state-chartered bank subsidiary, Central Illinois Bank, to form CIBM Bank. The C&D was re-affirmed by the FDIC. Although, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Division of Banks and Real Estate (“IDBRE”) has yet to formally join in the C&D since consummation of the merger of the bank charters, CIB Marine believes the C&D will continue. CIB Marine and the Bank remain committed to maintaining adequate capital levels at the Bank. Generally, enforcement actions such as the C&D can be lifted only after subsequent examinations substantiate complete correction of the underlying issues.

The actual and required capital amounts and ratios for CIB Marine and its bank subsidiary (as defined in the regulations) are presented in the tables below.

The payment of dividends by banking subsidiaries is subject to regulatory restrictions by various federal and/or state regulatory authorities. In addition, dividends paid by bank subsidiaries are further limited if the effect would result in a bank subsidiary’s capital being reduced below applicable minimum capital amounts. CIB Marine did not receive any dividend payments from the Bank during the first nine months of 2009, and at September 30, 2009, the Bank did not have any retained earnings available for the payment of dividends to CIB Marine without first obtaining the consent of its regulators.

Pursuant to the Agreement, so long as the Agreement remains in effect, CIB Marine cannot declare or pay dividends without first obtaining the consent of its regulator.

Because CIB Marine had a net loss from continuing operations in all periods presented, options to purchase 896,012 and 1,124,365 shares for the quarters ended, and 978,254 and 1,167,790 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share since their assumed exercise would be anti-dilutive.

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

The following discussion and analysis presents CIB Marine’s consolidated financial condition as of September 30, 2009 and results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009. This discussion should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, as well as CIB Marine’s 2008 Form 10-K.

The Company is currently operating under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The bankruptcy case is discussed in detail in Note 2-Pre-packaged Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to the financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The reorganization goals are to maximize enterprise value during the reorganization process and to emerge from Chapter 11 as soon as practicable as a sustainable, viable company.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains statements 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,” “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, which 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 2008 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.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. CIB Marine does not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements subsequent to the date on which they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Reorganization Proceedings under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code

The Company is operating as a debtor under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (Case No. 09-33318). No subsidiary of the Company is a debtor in the bankruptcy.

The bankruptcy case is being jointly administered, with the Debtor managing its business as a debtor in possession subject to the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company has determined that a prolonged Chapter 11 case would severely damage its ongoing business operations and threaten its viability as a going concern. The pre-packaged nature of the Plan allows the Debtor to exit Chapter 11 quickly, while the provisions of the Plan allow the Debtor to meet its regulatory capital needs and de-lever its balance sheet, thereby better positioning it to seek a strategic partner.

Although there is currently no active trading market for shares of CIB Marine’s common stock, the common stock is quoted on the Pink Sheets under the trading symbol “CIBHQ.PK”.

Pre-petition Claims

Most persons and entities asserting pre-petition claims against the Company were required to file proofs of claim in the Bankruptcy Court by October 21, 2009. The Plan addresses the proposed treatment of allowed claims and provides for the resolution of remaining claims after emergence from Chapter 11.

Pre-petition Debt

The Debentures and the unpaid accrued interest of $107.2 million are characterized as unsecured debt for purposes of the reorganization proceedings and the related obligations are classified as liabilities subject to compromise in CIB Marine consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2009. In accordance with ASC 825, following the Filing Date, the recording of interest expense on debt classified as liabilities subject to compromise was discontinued. The Plan addresses the proposed treatment of the claims of the holders of the Debentures through the issuance of preferred stock upon emergence from Bankruptcy.

Plan of Reorganization

As stated above, the Company filed the Plan and the related disclosure statement (the Disclosure Statement’) with the Bankruptcy Court on September 15, 2009. On October 29, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan.

No assurances can be given regarding the ability to consummate the Plan to affect quick emergence from Chapter 11, the impact that events occurring during the reorganization process will have on CIB Marine’s business and financial results or the other factors described in this paragraph. See Note 2-Pre-packaged Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in Part I in this Form 10-Q, Liquidity and Capital Plan Update, Forward-Looking Statements above and Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in CIB Marine’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as supplemented below in Part II, Item 1A-Risk Factors, in this Form 10-Q, for further discussion of the risks and uncertainties affecting CIB Marine’s operations and overall capital. Also, see Subsequent Events Section in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for update of bankruptcy proceeding.

As discussed above, the Plan and the Disclosure Statement describes the anticipated organization, operations, and financing of the reorganized Company. The Disclosure Statement contains certain information about the Company’s pre-petition operating and financial history, and the events leading up to the commencement of the bankruptcy case. The Disclosure Statement also describes the terms and provisions of the Plan including certain effects of confirmation of the Plan, certain risk factors associated with CIB Marine Preferred Stock to be issued under the Plan, and the manner in which distributions of CIB Marine Preferred Stock will be made under the Plan.

Continuation as a Going Concern

CIB Marine’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As a result of the bankruptcy filing by the Company, such realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities is subject to uncertainty. While operating as debtor in possession under the protection of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for amounts other than those recorded in its financial statements, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business. CIB Marine’s financial statements as of September 30, 2009 do not give effect to all the adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities that may become necessary as a consequence of the Company’s reorganization.

CIB Marine’s continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to manage to the extent possible the Risk Factors outlined in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about CIB Marine’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations

Overview

During the first nine months of 2009, CIB Marine continued to focus on the comprehensive capital plan outlined in the 2007 Form 10-K and updated in the 2008 Form 10-K. The main goals of the capital plan were to resolve the deferral and default of the interest payments on the Debentures, maintain “well-capitalized” capital ratios at the Bank, and improve the efficiency of CIB Marine through revenue growth and expense management.

Net loss increased to $13.9 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to a net loss of $11.2 million for the third quarter of 2008. The net loss in the third quarter of 2009 was greater than the comparable quarter in 2008 primarily due to the fact that a $4.2 million net gain on sale of assets was recorded in the third quarter of 2008, related to the sale of Citrus Bank. Net loss increased to $30.0 million for the first nine months of 2009 compared to a net loss of $28.0 million for the first nine months of 2008. The increase in net loss was due to a decrease of $6.7 million in net interest income and a decrease of $3.9 million in noninterest income, largely offset by a decrease in provision for credit losses of $0.3 million, a decrease in noninterest expense of $6.4 million and an increase in income from discontinued operations of $1.8 million. CIB Marine continued to accrue interest expense on the Debentures until entering Chapter 11 on September 15, 2009. The interest on the Debentures was $1.9 million during the third quarter of 2009 and $6.3 million in the first nine months of 2009. Reflecting the continuing net losses recorded during the third quarter of 2009, total stockholders’ deficit was $9.4 million at September 30, 2009.

In light of the current operating environment and net losses in each year ended since December 31, 2003, CIB Marine and the Bank have continued to work closely with their respective regulators. CIB Marine remains under the Agreement with its regulator, the Reserve Bank, which continues to impose certain restrictions and reporting requirements including, but not limited to:
 
33


 
·
Restrictions on dividend payments and redemption of shares of CIB Marine stock without regulatory approval;
 
·
Adoption of a comprehensive plan to improve earnings;
 
·
Development of a plan to correct and prevent violations of banking laws and regulations related to affiliate transactions.

In its 2008 Form 10-K, CIB Marine disclosed that its Wisconsin state-chartered bank subsidiary at the time, Marine Bank, stipulated to a C&D with the FDIC and the WDFI. The terms of the C&D were described in CIB Marine’s 2008 Form 10-K. The C&D became effective on April 24, 2009. Failure to adhere to the requirements of the actions mandated by the C&D could have subjected Marine Bank to more severe restrictions and civil monetary penalties. The C&D added no additional requirements to the asset quality and loan review program previously implemented by Marine Bank. When Marine Bank merged with and into CIB Marine’s Illinois state-chartered bank subsidiary, Central Illinois Bank, to form CIBM Bank, the C&D was re-affirmed by the FDIC. The IDBRE has yet to formally join in the C&D since consummation of the merger of the bank charters, yet CIB Marine believes the C&D will continue. CIB Marine and the Bank remain committed to maintaining adequate capital levels at the Bank. Generally, enforcement actions such as the C&D can be lifted only after subsequent examinations substantiate complete correction of the underlying issues.

Notwithstanding CIB Marine’s efforts to convert the Debentures into equity through the implementation of the Plan, federal or state bank regulators could take enforcement action, which could include placing the Bank into receivership. Although, CIB Marine has provided the Bank with $5.0 million of capital during 2008 and an additional $4.0 million in 2009, bank regulators could continue to increase minimum capital levels at the Bank. The circumstances described in Part I, Item 1, Note 14-Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) of this Form 10-Q, combined with the continued net losses and in consideration of existing regulatory matters, raise substantial doubt concerning the ability of CIB Marine to continue as a going concern.

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. As a result of the Chapter 11 reorganization process, a substantial portion of CIB Marine’s debt obligations in the form of the Debentures are now subject to compromise. Effective as of the Filing Date for reorganization under Chapter 11, interest expense is no longer accrued on these obligations. The post-filing interest expense not recognized in the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 on these obligations amounted to $0.4 million.

(1) 
Net interest margin is the ratio of annualized net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, to average interest-earning assets. In the future, CIB Marine does not expect to realize all of the tax benefits associated with tax-exempt assets due to substantial losses and at September 30, 2009 and 2008, no U.S. federal or state loss carryback potential remains. Accordingly, the 2009 and 2008 interest income on tax-exempt earning assets has not been adjusted to reflect the tax-equivalent basis. If 2009 and 2008 had been shown on a tax-equivalent basis of 35%, the net interest margin would have been 1.59% and 2.16% for the quarter and 1.60% and 2.21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
(2)
Net interest rate spread is the yield on average interest-earning assets less the rate on average interest-bearing liabilities.
(3)
Noninterest income to average assets excludes gains and losses on securities.
(4)
The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, plus noninterest income, excluding gains and losses on securities.
(5)
Loss on average assets is annualized net loss divided by average total assets.
(6)
Loss on average (equity) deficit is annualized net loss divided by average common equity (deficit).
(7)
Assets of companies held for disposal are deducted for ratio calculations.
(8)
Not meaningful, average equity is negative for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.

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 (deficit) 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. There were no tax-exempt loans during the first nine months of 2009 and 2008. See the Income Tax discussion for additional information. As a result of the Chapter 11 reorganization process, a substantial portion of CIB Marine’s debt obligations in the form of the Debentures are now subject to compromise. Effective as of the Filing Date for reorganization under Chapter 11, interest expense is no longer accrued on these obligations. The post-filing interest expense not recognized in the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 on these obligations amounted to $0.4 million.

In the future, CIB Marine does not expect to realize all of the tax benefits associated with tax-exempt assets due to substantial losses it has incurred, and at September 30, 2009 and 2008, no U.S. federal or state loss carryback potential remains. Accordingly, 2009 and 2008 are not presented on a tax-equivalent basis.

Net interest income decreased $2.1 million and $6.7 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008. The decrease in net interest income was primarily driven by an overall reduction in earning assets. The ratio of total average interest-earning assets to total average interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.15 and 1.16 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 to 1.14 and 1.14 for the comparable periods of 2009, respectively, as the volumes of earning assets declined $179.1 million and $176.2 million while interest-bearing liabilities declined $148.0 million and $133.1 million between these periods, respectively. In addition, for both the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008, the percentage of lower yielding fed funds sold, reverse repurchase agreement transactions and interest-bearing due from banks, as well as high cost Debentures increased as a proportion of interest-bearing liabilities. Although it has had a negative effect on net interest income, CIB Marine made the decision to hold a higher level of lower yielding fed funds sold, reverse repurchase agreement transaction and interest-bearing due from banks relative to interest-bearing liabilities to improve the liquidity of the Bank.

Total interest income decreased $4.1 million, or 30.4%, from $13.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 to $9.4 million for the comparable period in 2009. The decrease was primarily caused by the reduction in earning assets. The decrease in average volumes of interest-earning assets accounted for a $2.6 million decrease in interest income, with $1.2 million due to a decline in investment securities and $1.4 million due to a decline in loans, and the decline in average yields on interest-earning assets accounted for the remaining $1.5 million decline in interest income. The decline in average yields on interest-earning assets was primarily due to a decline in yields on loans due to the lower interest rate environment and the increase in nonaccrual loans, and due to the proportion of lower yielding fed funds sold, reverse repurchase agreement transactions and interest-bearing due from balances to total interest-earning assets.

Total interest income decreased $12.8 million, or 29.5%, from $43.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 to $30.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decline in interest-earning assets volume caused $7.2 million reduction in interest income, with a $3.3 million reduction from a decline in investment security volumes and a $3.9 million reduction from a decline in loan volumes. In addition, $5.5 million of the reduction in interest income was attributable to lower average yields on loans the result of a lower interest rate environment, an increase in non-accrual loans and due to an increase in the proportion of lower yielding fed funds sold, reverse repurchase agreement transactions and interest-bearing due from balances to total interest-earning assets.

Total interest expense decreased $2.0 million from $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2008 to $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2009. The decline in interest expense was predominantly the result of lower interest costs on interest-bearing deposits, the largest component of interest-bearing liabilities. The average cost on deposits decreased from 3.14% to 2.66% or $1.1 million from the third quarter of 2008 to the third quarter of 2009. The $51.8 million decline in average volumes of interest-bearing deposits contributed $0.3 million to the decline in interest expense. Additionally interest expense on borrowings declined $0.9 million primarily due to a $97.4 million decline in short-term borrowing volumes. Beginning in 2004, CIB Marine elected to defer all interest payments due on its Debentures. Interest accrues on each of the deferred payments at the coupon rate of the Debentures, creating a compounding effect for the interest expense of the Debentures. This causes interest expense for the Debentures to increase each year and become an increasing percentage of total interest expense and total average interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense on the Debentures represented 29.9% and 26.7% of total interest expense during the third quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, the total average earning assets have decreased, making the interest expense burden of the Debentures even greater. The interest expense due to the Debentures decreased $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008 due to the discontinuance of recognizing interest expense accruals after the Filing Date.

Total interest expense decreased $6.1 million from $26.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 to $20.6 million for the comparable period ended September 30, 2009. A decline of $3.7 million in interest expense was attributable to the 37 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities resulting from a 65 basis point decline in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits reflecting the repricing of deposits in a lower rate environment. The remaining $1.2 million of the decline in interest expense was due to a decline in average interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense on the Debentures represented 30.5% and 24.6% of total interest expense during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

CIB Marine’s net interest margin, which is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets, decreased by 56 basis points during the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008 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, decreased by 48 basis points during the same period. In addition, the average yield on earning assets declined by 83 basis points and the average cost of deposits declined by 48 basis points over the period. The declines are largely attributable to (1) lower total interest-earning assets relative to the decline in interest-bearing liabilities, caused primarily by a reduction in total loan and total securities average volumes (2) the increase in average volumes of fed funds sold, reverse repurchase agreement transactions and interest-bearing due from banks relative to interest-bearing liabilities (3) the increase in non-performing loans and (4) the increase in the high cost Debentures as a proportion of total interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin declined by more than the net interest spread due to lower earning asset yields funded by noninterest-bearing liabilities and capital.

CIB Marine’s net interest margin decreased by 60 basis points during the  nine months ending on September 30, 2009 compared to the same period of 2008, and its net interest spread decreased by 47 basis points during the same period. The average yield on earning assets declined by 84 basis points and the average cost of deposits declined by 65 basis points over the period. The declines are largely attributable to (1) lower total interest-earning assets relative to interest-bearing liabilities caused primarily by a reduction in total loan and total securities average volumes (2) the increase in average volumes of fed funds sold, reverse repurchase agreement transactions and interest-bearing due from banks relative to interest-bearing liabilities (3) the increase in non-performing loans and (4) the increase in the high cost Debentures as a proportion of total interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin declined by more than the net interest spread due to lower earning asset yields funded by noninterest-bearing liabilities and capital.

In the future, CIB Marine does not expect to realize all of the tax benefits associated with tax-exempt assets due to substantial losses it has incurred, and at September 30, 2009 and 2008, no U.S. federal or state loss carryback potential remains. Accordingly, 2009 and 2008 are not presented on a tax-equivalent basis.

Variances which were not specifically attributable to volume or rate have been allocated proportionally between volume and rate using absolute values as a basis for the allocation. Nonaccrual loans were included in the average balances used in determining yields.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses represents charges made to earnings in order to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses and losses on unfunded commitments and standby letters of credit. The provision for credit losses was $10.0 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the provision for credit losses was $19.2 million compared to $19.5 million for the first nine months of 2008. Net charge-offs were $18.1 million during the first nine months of 2009 compared to $14.4 million during the same period of 2008.

39

 
The provision for credit losses has been adversely affected by the economic environment and in particular for its home equity loan pools and its construction and development loans. Provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2009 and 2008 attributable to home equity loan pools was $4.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively; and $1.6 million and $7.0 million, respectively, for the construction and development loans. Provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 attributable to home equity loan pools was $10.7 million and $9.7 million; respectively, and $3.7 million and $10.7 million, respectively, for construction and development loans.

    $ 348     $ 4,661     $ 1,596     $ 5,532  

The decrease in noninterest income for the quarter and nine-months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008 was primarily due to a $4.2 million gain recognized on the sale of all the branches, substantially of all the deposits and the majority of the loan portfolio of CIB Marine’s Florida banking subsidiary, Citrus Bank, during the third quarter of 2008. The decrease was also due to interest on a 2002 federal income tax refund received during the third quarter of 2008 and recorded in other income.

Total noninterest expense decreased $1.7 million, or 17.3%, from $9.9 million for the third quarter of 2008 to $8.2 million for the third quarter of 2009. The net decrease was primarily a result of the following:

 
·
Compensation and employee benefits expense decreased $1.3 million, or 31.0%, from $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2008, to $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2009. The decrease was primarily due to staff reductions related to the sale of Citrus Bank during the third quarter of 2008 and other reductions-in-force completed during the first and second quarters of 2009. The total number of full-time equivalent employees decreased from 200 at September 30, 2008 to 165 at September 30, 2009.
 
·
Equipment and occupancy expense together decreased $0.3 million, or 24.3%, during the third quarter of 2009 compared the third quarter of 2008 primarily due to the sale of Citrus Bank during the third quarter of 2008.
 
·
Litigation reserve was $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2008 related to the Lewis litigation (as discussed further in the 2008 Form 10-K). There was no litigation reserve for the third quarter of 2009.
 
·
OTTI decreased $0.3 million, or 64.6%, from $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2008 to $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2009. See Note 6-Securities Available for Sale for further discussion.
 
·
Write down of assets was $0.7 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009 primarily due to the write-off of an intercompany tax receivable from discontinued operations.

Total noninterest expense decreased $6.4 million, or 21.9%, from $29.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $23.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The net change was primarily the result of the following:

 
·
Compensation and employee benefits expense decreased $3.1 million, or 23.9%, from $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, to $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of Citrus Bank during the third quarter of 2008. The total number of full-time equivalent employees decreased from 200 at September 30, 2008 to 165 at September 30, 2009.
 
·
Equipment and occupancy expense together decreased $1.1 million, or 28.6%, during the first nine months of 2009 compared the first nine months of 2008 primarily due to the sale of Citrus Bank during the third quarter of 2008.
 
·
Professional services increased $0.3 million during the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, primarily due to increased accounting and legal fees associated with CIB Marine’s efforts to restructure its TruPS.
 
·
Litigation reserve was $3.4 million for the first nine months of 2008 related to the Lewis litigation (as discussed further in the 2008 Form 10-K). There was no litigation reserve for the first nine months of 2009.
 
·
OTTI decreased $0.3 million, or 59.6%, from $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. See Note 6-Securities Available for Sale for further discussion.
 
·
FDIC and state assessment expense was $1.4 million for the first nine months of 2009 compared to $0.6 million for the first nine months of 2008. The increase of $0.8 million was the result of increased FDIC assessment fees during the first nine months of 2009 compared to the first nine months of 2008. In an effort to replenish the Deposit Insurance Fund in the wake of the recent increase in bank failures in the United States, the FDIC changed its rate structure in December 2008 to generally increase premiums effective for assessments in the first quarter of 2009. Further, in May 2009, the FDIC issued a rule to impose a special one-time assessment against all financial institutions in the second quarter of 2009, payable in the third quarter of 2009. The special assessment for CIBM Bank was $0.4 million.
 
·
Write down of assets was $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as a result of a write down of two foreclosed properties during the third quarter of 2009 and the write-off of an intercompany tax receivable from discontinued operations. There were no write downs of assets during the first nine months of 2008.

Reorganization Expenses

Reorganization expense are expenses directly attributed to the Chapter 11 reorganization process. See Note 2-Pre-packaged Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to our financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a summary of these costs.

Income Taxes

No tax benefit has been recognized on the consolidated net operating losses for 2009 and 2008 due to significant federal and state net operating loss carryforwards on which the realization of related tax benefits is not “more likely than not.” In the second quarter of 2009, $0.1 million of state tax expense was recognized in connection with the finalization of various state tax issues. The continuing operations income tax expense for the first nine months of 2008 consisted primarily of the allocation of taxes, in accordance with tax sharing agreements with companies included in discontinued operations that would have been payable had it not been for the losses from continuing operations included in CIB Marine’s consolidated returns. The net income tax expense on discontinued operations also includes interest and penalty expense on a tax exposure related to a sold subsidiary.

As of December 31, 2008, CIB Marine had aggregate U.S. federal net operating loss, capital loss and charitable contribution carryfowards (collectively, the “Tax Attributes”) of approximately $199.6 million. In connection with CIB Marine’s emergence from Chapter 11, it is likely that the Tax Attributes will be significantly reduced due to the cancellation of indebtedness income. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against the deferred tax asset related to these Tax Attributes in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Financial Condition

Overview

CIB Marine’s total assets decreased $126.7 million from $906.4 million at December 31, 2008 to $779.7 million at September 30, 2009. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to a $45.5 million decrease in net loans and a $83.4 million net decrease in securities.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale were $5.0 million at September 30, 2009, which comprised $0.2 million in residential mortgage loans and $4.8 million in commercial real estate construction loans. Following the sale of Citrus Bank, the remaining loans of Citrus Bank were transferred to CIB Marine. Of those remaining loans, $4.2 million were transferred to loans held for sale during the third quarter of 2008. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, loans held for sale with a carrying value of $2.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, were classified as nonaccrual. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 loans held for sale with a carrying value of $0.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, were classified as 90 days or more past due and still accruing.

Securities

Total securities at September 30, 2009 were $197.1 million, a decrease of $83.4 million, or 29.7%, from $280.4 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to sales, prepayments, repayments and maturities from the existing portfolio, the proceeds of which have been used predominantly to pay down FHLB borrowings, time deposits and increase cash and cash equivalent holdings at the Bank. The ratio of total securities to total assets was 25.3% at September 30, 2009, compared to 30.9% at December 31, 2008.

The net unrealized loss on available for sale securities was $5.5 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $10.0 million at December 31, 2008. The net unrealized loss occurred mainly in other notes and bonds and Non-agency MBS, resulting from declining credit quality and ongoing liquidity strains in the financial markets.

At September 30, 2009, 10.0% of the portfolio consisted of U.S. government agency securities, compared to 16.8% at December 31, 2008, and at September 30, 2009, 71.5% of the portfolio consisted of mortgage-backed securities compared to 69.1% at December 31, 2008. Obligations of states and political subdivisions represented 15.9% of the portfolio at September 30, 2009, compared to 10.8% at December 31, 2008.

42

 
Securities available for sale with a carrying value of $158.8 million and $222.3 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, were pledged for current outstanding or contingently available deposits and borrowings with public entities, FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased, borrowings from the federal reserve discount window, and for other purposes as required.

For those securities whose fair value is less than cost at September 30, 2009, because CIB Marine does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that CIB Marine will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, CIB Marine does not consider those securities to be OTTI; except for the following: (1) two Non-agency MBS had $0.1 million during the third quarter of 2009, and had amortized costs and unrealized losses totaling $3.4 million and $1.5 million respectively at September 30, 2009, and (2) two collateralized debt obligations with $0.07 million credit related OTTI during the third quarter of 2009, and amortized costs and unrealized losses totaling $4.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

Loans

Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, totaled $490.4 million or 62.9% of total assets at September 30, 2009 compared to $536.0 million or 59.1% of total assets at December 31, 2008. The decrease in loans from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in construction and development and home equity loans reflecting predominantly repayments, collections and the impact of charge-offs.

Credit Concentrations

At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the stockholders’ equity of the subsidiary companies, including predominantly the Bank and CIB Marine Capital, LLC, was $90.9 million and $99.2 million, with 25% representing $22.7 million and $24.8 million, respectively. Using this measure for disclosing credit concentrations, the subsidiary companies had no secured borrowing relationships at either September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008 in excess of 25% of stockholders’ equity of such subsidiary companies.

Shown in the table below are the concentrations in the loan portfolio classified by to the 2007 North American Industry Classification System (“NAICS”) codes. At both September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 CIB Marine had credit relationships within four industry groups with outstanding balances exceeding 25% of the subsidiary companies stockholders’ equity.

Allowance for Loan Losses

CIB Marine monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the amount of provision for loan losses and recoveries of previously charged-off loans, and is decreased by the amount of loans charged-off and negative provisions. The allowance is also increased or decreased for a change in the credit quality of segments of the portfolio. At September 30, 2009, the allowance for loan losses increased to $20.4 million or 4.0% of total loans compared to $19.2 million, or 3.5% of total loans at December 31, 2008. The increase was related to higher levels of nonperforming loans and continued elevated levels of charge-offs in the purchased home equity pools. Total charge-offs for the third quarter of 2009 were $6.9 million, while recoveries were $0.07 million, compared to $7.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the same period of 2008. Total charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $18.5 million and $15.9 million, respectively, while total recoveries were $0.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Net charge-offs from the purchased home equity loan pools were $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The home equity pools remaining at September 30, 2009 was $37.4 million compared to $52.2 million at December 31, 2009. The allowance for loan and lease losses for the home equity loan pools was $5.5 million or 14.7% of remaining balance at September 30, 2009 and $4.5 million or 8.7% of remaining balance at December 31, 2008. Although CIB Marine believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible given the conditions of 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. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the quality of loans and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and may require CIB Marine to make additional provisions to the allowance based upon their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

The ratio of the allowance to nonaccrual, restructured and 90 days or more past due and still accruing loans was 43.4% at September 30, 2009 compared to 119.4% at December 31, 2008.

Nonperforming Assets and Loans 90 Days or More Past Due and Still Accruing Interest

The level of nonperforming assets is an important element in assessing CIB Marine’s asset quality and the associated risk in its loan portfolio. Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans and foreclosed property. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when CIB Marine determines that it is probable that principal and interest amounts will not be collected according to the terms of the loan agreement. A loan is accounted for as troubled debt restructured (“TDR”) loan when a concession is granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties that would not otherwise be considered. CIB Marine may restructure the loan by modifying the terms to reduce or defer cash payments required by the borrower, reduce the interest rate below current market rates for new debt with similar risk, reduce the face amount of the debt, or reduce the accrued interest. 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. Once this assurance is reached the TDR is classified as a restructured loan. As of September 30, 2009, there were $8.4 million TDR loans of which $7.6 million were classified as nonaccrual and $0.8 million were classified as restructured loans. Foreclosed property represents properties acquired by CIB Marine as a result of loan defaults by customers.

The following table summarizes the composition of CIB Marine’s nonperforming assets, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing, and related asset quality ratios as of the dates indicated.

Excluding loans held for sale, nonaccrual loans increased $31.1 million from $15.1 million at December 31, 2008 to $46.1 million at September 30, 2009. The ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans was 9.03% at September 30, 2009, compared to 2.71% at December 31, 2008. The increase reflects the adverse impact of the current commercial and residential real estate environment including slower sales, higher vacancy rates and reduced prices.

At September 30, 2009, CIB Marine had twelve borrowing relationships (loans to one borrower or a group of borrowers) each with nonaccrual loan balances in excess of $1.0 million that were not classified as held for sale. These twelve relationships accounted for $36.7 million in loan balances, or 79.4%, of nonaccrual loans excluding those held for sale and 78.6% of total impaired loans. The total specific allowance attributable to these twelve borrowing relationships was $3.7 million. During the first nine months of 2009, $32.6 million of the $36.7 million were added as non-accrual and impaired with related specific allowances totaling $3.2 million. At December 31, 2008, CIB Marine had four borrowing relationships, each with nonaccrual loan balances in excess of $1.0 million that accounted for $11.1 million, or 73.5% of nonaccrual loans.

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

During the second quarter of 2006, CIB Marine purchased a $47.8 million pool of fixed rate second lien home equity loans from Residential Funding Corporation, and during the first quarter of 2007, CIB Marine purchased a $48.2 million closed end pool of fixed rate second lien home equity loans from Residential Funding Corporation, a division of General Motors Acceptance Corporation. At September 30, 2009 the remaining combined balance of the purchased home equity loan pools was $37.4 million and loss reserves allocated to these two pools totaled $5.5 million and at December 31, 2008, the aggregate balance of these two home equity pools was $52.2 million and loss reserves allocated to these two pools totaled $4.5 million. During 2008, CIB Marine began charging off 100% of the outstanding principal of each loan in the purchased home equity pools when it becomes 90 days past due. As a result of this policy change, none of the loans in the home equity pools were classified as nonaccrual at September 30, 2009.

Foreclosed properties were $1.3 million and consisted of six properties at September 30, 2009 compared to $1.0 million and nine properties at December 31, 2008. During the first nine months of 2009 CIB Marine acquired through foreclosure, one commercial property for $0.9 million and then wrote the value down to $0.6 million at September 30, 2009. Also, another commercial foreclosed property accounted for $0.4 million, or 35.2% of the balance at September 30, 2009. There was a combined total write down of $0.1 million on two other foreclosed properties that were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. All foreclosed properties were held for sale.

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 which management believes all contractual principal and interest amounts due will be collected. Excluding loans held for sale at December 31, 2008, CIB Marine had one loan for $1.0 million that was 90 days or more past due and still accruing. Excluding loans held for sale, there were no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing at September 30, 2009.

The ratio of nonperforming assets and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing to total assets was 6.19% at September 30, 2009 compared to 1.89% at December 31, 2008.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that CIB Marine will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment records and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Impaired loans increased $32.4 million from $14.2 million at December 31, 2008 to $46.6 million at September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to $40.6 million of additional loans added to impaired loans, offset by $2.7 million in payments, $4.0 million in charge-offs, $0.9 million transferred to foreclosed properties and $0.6 million transferred to loans held for sale. The decline in performance of loans, and in particular those classified as nonaccrual loans, caused an increase in impaired loans. The increase reflects the adverse impact of the current commercial and residential real estate environment including slower sales, higher vacancy rates and reduced prices. The increase in specific allowances related to impaired loans increased by an amount that was less than proportionate to the increase in impaired loans. This is due to charge-offs related to loans and their respective impairment amounts and due to each new impaired loans respective impairment analysis including the level of expected discounted cash flows and collateral valuations.

Potential Problem Loans

The level of potential problem commercial, commercial real estate and commercial real estate construction loans (“Potential Problem Loans”) is another factor in determining the level of risk in the portfolio and in determining the level of the allowance for loan and lease loss. Potential Problem Loans are those rated as substandard by management but that are not in a nonperforming status. The circumstances of each borrower presents enough doubt as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the contractual repayment terms of their loans so that they are considered Potential Problem Loans. The Potential Problem Loans cover a diverse range of businesses and real estate property types. At September 30, 2009, Potential Problem Loans totaled $23.7 million, compared to $17.7 million at December 31, 2008. The $6.0 million increase in Potential Problem Loans was due to a $13.3 million increase in commercial real estate, a $7.1 million decrease in commercial real estate construction and a $0.2 million decrease in commercial loans of this category. The current rise in and level of Potential Problem Loans highlights management’s continued heightened level of uncertainty of the pace, magnitude and duration at which a commercial credit and any related collateral may deteriorate.

Companies Held For Disposal

At September 30, 2009, assets and liabilities of companies held for disposal consists entirely of the remaining assets and liabilities of CIB Marine’s wholly owned subsidiary, CIB Construction, including CIB Construction’s subsidiary Canron. The gross consolidated assets and liabilities of CIB Construction are reported separately on the consolidated balance sheets at their estimated liquidation values less costs to sell. Banking regulations limit the holding period for assets not considered to be permissible banking activities and which have been acquired in satisfaction of debt previously contracted to five years, unless extended. CIB Construction is subject to these restrictions, and CIB Marine has received an extension from its banking regulator to hold Canron until December 31, 2009.

CIB Construction acquired 84% of the outstanding stock of Canron through loan collection activities in 2002. In the third quarter of 2003, the Board of Directors of Canron authorized management to cease operating Canron and commence a wind down of its affairs, including a voluntary liquidation of its assets. In August 2005, Canron authorized and began liquidation distributions to its shareholders, and in December 2006, Canron filed Articles of Dissolution. At both September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, CIB Construction’s net carrying value of its investment in Canron was zero.

Deposit Liabilities

Total deposits, were $641.4 million at September 30, 2009 and $694.6 million at December 31, 2008. Time deposits represent the largest component of deposits. The percentage of time deposits to total deposits was 67.9% at September 30, 2009 and 70.4% at December 31, 2008, reflecting CIB Marine’s reliance on time deposits as a primary source of funding. At September 30, 2009 time deposits of $100,000 or more amounted to $127.1 million, or 29.2%, of total time deposits, compared to $151.1 million, or 30.9%, at December 31, 2008. The Bank accepts brokered time deposits periodically to meet short-term funding needs and/or when their related costs are at or below those being offered on other deposits. Brokered time deposits were $18.0 million, or 4.1%, of total time deposits at September 30, 2009, and $36.0 million, or 7.4%, of total time deposits at December 31, 2008.

Borrowings and Liabilities Subject to Compromise

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, including the Debentures, decreased $55.0 million from $151.7 million at December 31, 2008 to $96.7 million at September 30, 2009. The decrease was due to a $49.0 million reduction of short-term borrowings caused mostly by a repayment of $40.0 million in short-term borrowings from the FHLB. Also, there was a $6.0 million reduction of long-term borrowings from the FHLB of Chicago during the first nine months of 2009.

During the first nine months of 2009, the availability of federal funds purchased by the Bank with correspondent banks continued to be contingent on the Bank’s ability to fixed income investment securities.

In 2004, CIB Marine entered into a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Among other items, the Agreement requires CIB Marine to obtain Reserve Bank approval before incurring additional borrowings or debt, and pre-approval to pay interest on Debentures.

Pursuant to the Agreement, CIB Marine is not permitted to pay any interest on the Debentures without prior approval of the Reserve Bank. CIB Marine had the right to defer payments of interest on the Debentures for consecutive periods not exceeding twenty consecutive quarters, but not beyond the stated maturity of the Debentures. CIB Marine elected to defer all interest payments starting in 2004. These deferral periods all expired in the first quarter of 2009, and throughout the deferral period and while in default, interest on the Debentures continued to accrue. In addition, interest also accrues on all interest that was not paid when due, compounded quarterly or semi-annually. During the first nine months of 2009 CIB Marine continued to defer interest payments on its $61.9 million of Debentures and as a result the Trusts deferred distributions on its $60.0 million of Debentures. CIB Marine had accrued interest payable on its Debentures of $45.3 million and $39.1 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

These deferral periods all expired in the first quarter of 2009, and CIB Marine did not make the required payments of interest such that, by April 30, 2009, CIB Marine was in default with respect to the Debentures issued to all four of the Trusts. In addition, interest also accrues on all interest that was not paid when due, compounded quarterly or semi-annually. During the deferral period and while in default, CIB Marine may not pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment on its stock, or make any payment of principal, interest or premium, or redeem any similar debt securities of CIB Marine, subject to certain limitations. The Debentures are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the Debentures at maturity or their earlier redemption. The Debentures qualify as regulatory capital, subject to regulatory limitation. As a result of CIB Marine’s inability to make these payments and continued losses, and in consideration of existing regulatory matters, as also stated in the 2008 Form 10-K, there is substantial doubt about CIB Marine’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On March 16, 2009 CIB Marine issued a consent solicitation seeking the consent of the holders of its TruPS to a proposed Plan of Restructuring that would have converted the debt under the Debentures into preferred stock, thus reducing the ongoing interest expense burden and eliminating any consequences of default on the TruPS (see the discussion in the Liquidity and Capital Plan Update section). The vote was concluded on May 11, 2009, however, CIB Marine did not receive the requisite number of votes to approve the Plan of restructuring.

On July 16, 2009, CIB Marine filed a Current Report on Form 8-K regarding a proposed pre-packaged Plan of Reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code that was presented to the TruPS holders for their approval. Under the Plan, approximately $105.3 million (as of July 16, 2009) of cumulative high-interest indebtedness of the TruPS will be exchanged for 55,624 shares of Series A 7% fixed rate preferred noncumulative perpetual stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share and 4,376 shares of Series B 7% fixed rate convertible noncumulative perpetual preferred stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share. Each share of Series B Preferred will be convertible into 4,000 shares of CIB Marine common stock only upon the consummation of a merger transaction involving CIB Marine where CIB Marine is not the surviving entity. The CIB Marine Preferred will have no stated redemption date and holders will not have the right to compel the redemption of any or all of the shares. Further, dividends will be noncumulative, and payable only to the extent CIB Marine declares a dividend, at its discretion and subject to regulatory approval. The effects of the Plan would be to improve earnings by eliminating the interest burden on CIB Marine associated with the TruPS-related indebtedness, and to significantly improve its capital position.

48

 
Under the Plan, common shareholders would not be impaired. If all Series B Preferred shareholders were to convert their shares in connection with a merger, they would own slightly less than 50% of the outstanding common stock and have a right to participate at that level in any merger consideration paid to acquire CIB Marine.

See the “Liquidity and Capital Plan Update” discussion below for further information on CIB Marine’s capital plan.

Liquidity and Capital Plan Update

The objective of liquidity risk management at the Bank is to ensure that it is able to meet, in a timely manner, its funding obligations related to commitments to extend credit, deposit account withdrawals, maturities of borrowings and other obligations. Liquidity positions of the Bank are actively managed by estimating, measuring and monitoring the sources and uses of funds. The Bank’s funding requirements are primarily met by the inflow of funds from deposits, and loan and investment payments. The Bank also makes use of noncore funding sources in a manner consistent with its liquidity, funding and market risk policies. Noncore funding sources are used to meet funding needs and/or when the pricing and continued availability of these sources presents lower-cost funding opportunities. Short-term noncore funding sources used by the Bank include federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, short-term borrowings from the FHLB and short-term brokered and negotiable time deposits to the extent the Bank is authorized to accept or renew brokered deposits. As a result of the C&D the Bank is restricted from issuing new brokered deposits or renewing existing brokered deposits. The Bank could apply to the FDIC to request approval to issue or renew brokered deposits but has decided not to so that the Bank may apply under FDIC Rules and Regulations interest rate restrictions based on its local markets as opposed to the national markets. At this time the Bank is restricted from offering interest rates in excess of the average interest rates offered by other depository institutions in its local markets plus seventy five basis points. The Bank has also established investment security-secured borrowing lines with the Reserve Bank and maintains secured borrowing guidance lines with nonaffiliated banks. Long-term funding sources, other than core deposits, include long-term time deposits and long-term borrowings from the FHLB. Additional sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, federal funds sold, sale of loans held for sale and the sale of securities.

During the first nine months of 2009, the availability of federal funds purchased for the Bank with its primary correspondent bank continued to be contingent on the availability of fixed income securities at the Bank to pledge as collateral; the Bank’s inter-day borrowing availability at the Reserve Bank has been restricted to that available for banks with a secondary borrower status, and the Bank’s intra-day credit and settlement activity must all be pre-funded at its account with the Reserve Bank. Additionally, pursuant to the aforementioned Agreement between CIB Marine and the Reserve Bank, CIB Marine, excluding its subsidiaries, must obtain Reserve Bank approval before incurring additional borrowing or debt.

CIB Marine’s primary sources of funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was a $90.7 million net decrease in the investment portfolio and a $25.4 million net decrease in loans. CIB Marine’s primary use of funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was a $49.0 million net decrease in short-term borrowings, a $6.0 million decrease in long-term borrowings and a $53.3 million net decrease in deposits.

Beginning in 2004, CIB Marine deferred interest payments on its $61.9 million of Debentures and as a result distributions were deferred on $60.0 million of TruPS. The obligations under the TruPS are solely the obligations of the Company and not obligations of the Bank. Under the terms of the TruPS, the deferral period may last up to five years. These deferral periods all expired in the first quarter of 2009 and CIB Marine did not make the required payments of interest such that, since April 30, 2009, CIB Marine has been in default with respect to the Debentures issued to all four of the Trusts. At September 30, 2009, the accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures totaled $45.3 million. As a result of CIB Marine’s inability to make these payments and continued losses, and in consideration of existing regulatory matters, as also stated in the 2008 Form 10-K, there is substantial doubt about CIB Marine’s ability to continue as a going concern.

49

 
As of September 30, 2009, CIB Marine had $3.5 million in total cash and cash equivalents and the non-bank subsidiaries had $3.8 million. In addition, a non-bank subsidiary of the Company also holds $10.3 million in loans that it is attempting to collect and an additional $4.5 million in loans held for sale. According to the BHCA, “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 the Bank. Since the fourth quarter of 2008, CIB Marine provided $9.0 million in capital to the Bank to support the Bank in maintaining a “well-capitalized” position. Although the current capital ratio at the Bank is above what is currently required by its regulators, continuing losses at the Bank could require additional contributions of capital by CIB Marine. Any other use of this cash to pay interest or principal on the TruPS is subject to approval by the Reserve Bank. Only cash available at CIB Marine may be used to pay debts or expenses of CIB Marine, including interest or principal on the TruPS.

CIB Marine did not receive any dividend payments from the Bank during the first nine months of 2009, and at September 30, 2009, the Bank did not have any retained earnings available for the payment of dividends without first obtaining the consent of its regulators. In addition, CIB Marine may not issue new debt or renew existing debt without the prior consent of the Reserve Bank.

As reported in Part II, Item 7 of the 2007 Form 10-K, and updated in Part II, Item 7 of the 2008 Form 10-K, CIB Marine management has been developing and implementing a comprehensive capital plan to resolve the deferral of interest payments and default on the Debentures, maintaining “well-capitalized” capital ratios at the Bank, and improving the efficiency of CIB Marine through revenue growth and expense management. All of these goals were targeted to provide the greatest value possible to shareholders of CIB Marine.

During the first nine months of 2009, management continued its efforts on each of these goals. In March 2009, CIB Marine submitted a consent solicitation to holders of the existing TruPS to restructure the existing obligations. Pursuant to the proposed Plan of Restructuring the then approximately $100.9 million of indebtedness under the Debentures currently held by the Trusts would have been replaced with approximately $94.9 million aggregate liquidation preference of newly-issued CIB Marine 7% fixed rate perpetual noncumulative preferred stock (“Perpetual Preferred”).

The vote was concluded on May 11, 2009, however, CIB Marine did not receive the requisite number of votes to approve the consent solicitation plan.

On July 16, 2009, CIB Marine filed a Current Report on Form 8-K describing the Plan that was presented to the TruPS holders for their approval. Under the Plan, approximately $105.3 million (as of July 16, 2009) of cumulative high-interest indebtedness would be exchanged for 55,624 shares of Series A preferred noncumulative perpetual stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share and 4,376 shares of Series B 7% fixed rate convertible noncumulative perpetual preferred stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share. Each share of the Series B Preferred would have been convertible into 4,000 shares of CIB Marine’s common stock only upon the consummation of a merger transaction involving CIB Marine. The CIB Marine Preferred will have no stated redemption date and holders would not have the right to compel the redemption of any or all of the shares. Further, dividends would be noncumulative, and payable only to the extent CIB Marine declares a dividend, subject to regulatory approval. On September 15, 2009, the TruPS holders approved the Plan. On September 16, 2009, CIB Marine filed the pre-packaged Plan under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in Bankruptcy Court in Milwaukee. The Plan would improve CIB Marine’s earnings by eliminating the interest burden on it associated with the TruPS-related indebtedness and significantly improve its capital position.

Under the Plan, common shareholders would not be impaired. If all Series B Preferred shareholders were to convert their shares in connection with a merger, they would own slightly less than 50% of the outstanding common stock and have a right to participate at that level in any merger consideration paid to acquire CIB Marine.

The primary purpose of the Plan is to effectuate the restructuring and substantial de-leveraging of CIB Marine’s capital structure and to enhance its regulatory capital position. The Plan will allow CIB Marine to continue its businesses in the ordinary course and provides for full payment of allowed unsecured claims as defined in the Plan. The funds expected to be generated by CIB Marine’s operations will not be sufficient to meet its debt service requirements and satisfy its debt obligations without this restructuring.

50

 
In connection with developing the Plan, CIB Marine reviewed its current business operations and compared its prospects as an ongoing business enterprise with the estimated recoveries of claims and equity interests in various liquidation scenarios. As a result, CIB Marine concluded that the recovery for holders of allowed claims and equity interests as defined in the Plan would be maximized by continuing to operate as a going concern.

CIB Marine also determined that a prolonged Chapter 11 case would severely damage its ongoing business operations and threaten its viability as a going concern. The pre-packaged nature of the Plan allows CIB Marine to exit Chapter 11 quickly, while the provisions of the Plan allow CIB Marine to meet its regulatory capital needs and de-lever its balance sheet.

In addition, CIB Marine continues to focus on the safety and soundness of the Bank. In addition, liquidity remains strong at the Bank with contingency plans in place to further ensure the safety of depository customers. As noted above, CIB Marine has provided the Bank with $5.0 million of capital during 2008 and an additional $4.0 million in 2009. This is consistent with CIB Marine’s goal of supporting strong capital and liquidity positions at the Bank and is in keeping with its source of strength obligations under the BHCA.

In its 2008 Form 10-K, CIB Marine disclosed that its Wisconsin state-chartered bank subsidiary at the time, Marine Bank, stipulated to a C&D with the FDIC and the WDFI. The terms of the C&D were described in CIB Marine’s 2008 Form 10-K. The C&D became effective on April 24, 2009. Failure to adhere to the requirements of the actions mandated by the C&D could have subjected Marine Bank to more severe restrictions and civil monetary penalties. The C&D added no additional requirements to the asset quality and loan review program previously implemented by Marine Bank. When Marine Bank merged with and into CIB Marine’s Illinois state-chartered bank subsidiary, Central Illinois Bank, to form CIBM Bank, the C&D was re-affirmed by the FDIC. The IBPRE has yet to formally join in the C&D since consummation of the merger of the bank charters, yet CIB Marine believes the C&D will continue. CIB Marine and the Bank remain committed to maintaining adequate capital levels at the Bank. Generally, enforcement actions such as the C&D can be lifted only after subsequent examinations substantiate complete correction of the underlying issues.

Deposit and retirement accounts continue to be insured for a minimum of $250,000 per depositor by the FDIC, through December 31, 2013. Because the Bank is participating in the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program (“TAGP”), most types of checking accounts are guaranteed without limit through December 31, 2009 and the Bank plans to participate in the recent program that extends the guarantee without limit through June 30, 2010.

Capital and Regulatory Matters

CIB Marine and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Pursuant to federal bank holding company and bank regulations, CIB Marine and the Bank are assigned to a capital category. The assigned capital category is largely determined by three ratios that are calculated in accordance with specific instructions included in the regulations: total risk adjusted capital, Tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. There are five capital categories defined in the regulations: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. To be categorized as “well-capitalized,” the Bank must maintain total risk adjusted capital, Tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios of 10.0%, 6.0% and 5.0%, respectively.

Classification of a bank in any of the undercapitalized categories can result in certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that could have a direct material effect on its results of operations.

Under the definition of capital levels within the C&D order, the Bank was classified as adequately capitalized as of September 30, 2009 as specified in the order.

As stated in Note 14-Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q, CIB Marine was subject to an Agreement which, among other items, requires it 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. As of September 30, 2009, CIB Marine’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was a negative 0.50%, which was below the 4.0% required by the Agreement. The decline reflects the continued operating losses of CIB Marine during the first nine months of 2009. CIB Marine’s ability to increase its capital and meet the requirements of the Agreement is dependent upon the successful execution of its Plan outlined in the Liquidity and Capital Plan Update section above. Failure to meet the requirements of the Agreement could cause the Reserve Bank to require CIB Marine to take other actions.

The calculation of risk-based capital of CIB Marine at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 is set forth below:

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.

52

 
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments that the Bank issues to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. Fees received to issue standby letters of credit are deferred and recognized as noninterest income over the term of the commitment. The guarantees frequently support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper issuances, bond funding, and other similar transactions. The Bank issues commercial letters of credit on behalf of customers to ensure payments or collection in connection with trade transactions. In the event of a customer’s nonperformance, the Bank’s credit loss exposure is the same as in any extension of credit, up to the letter’s contractual amount. Management assesses the borrower’s financial condition to determine the necessary collateral, which may include marketable securities, real estate, accounts receivable and inventory. Since the conditions requiring the Bank to fund letters of credit may not occur, the Bank expects its future cash requirements to be less than the total outstanding commitments. The maximum potential future payments guaranteed by the Bank under standby letter of credit arrangements at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, were $4.9 million and $5.5 million with a weighted average term of approximately 13 months and 8 months, respectively.

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. 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. CIB Marine had commitments to extend credit of $44.7 million and $111.0 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The expected impact of accounting policies recently issued or proposed but not yet required to be adopted are discussed below. To the extent the adoption of new accounting standards materially affected CIB Marine’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity, the impacts were discussed in the applicable section of this financial review and the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Transfers of Assets

In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing which among other things amends the criteria for whether a transfer qualifies for sale accounting when only a portion of a financial asset is transferred. This guidance impacts many types of financial assets (e.g. loan participations, sales of mortgages or installment loans) occurring after the effective date of November 15, 2009. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material effect on CIB Marine’s consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation Guidance for Variable Interest Entities

In June 2009, the FASB also issued an amendment to ASC 810, Consolidations, which changes the consolidation rules as they apply to variable interest entities. This guidance is effective January 1, 2010 and is intended to address concerns about companies’ ability to structure transactions to avoid consolidation. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material effect on CIB Marine’s consolidated financial statements.

Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value

In August 2009, the FASB amended ASC 820 by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05 which provides additional guidance on measuring the fair value of liabilities. The guidance, which will become effective in the fourth quarter of 2009, clarifies the application of certain valuation techniques and addresses certain practical difficulties in measuring fair value. No new fair value measurements are required by the guidance. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 is not expected to have a material effect on CIB Marine’s consolidated financial statements.

Proposed Statement of Disclosures About the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses

In June 2009, the FASB issued the proposed statement which would increase significantly the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”) disclosures required by financial institutions beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009. This proposed statement addresses disclosures only and does not seek to change recognition or measurement. However, the disclosures do represent a meaningful change in practice. The adoption of this statement will expand the disclosures of the ALLL in the 2009 Annual Report.

Inflation

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.

Subsequent Events

On October 29, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court considered and determined (i) the approval of the solicitation of the TruPS holders who already had voted and approved the Plan on September 15, 2009; (ii) the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement; and (iii) confirmation of the Plan. CIB Marine expects the Effective Date of the Plan and the emergence from Bankruptcy to be established before the end of 2009.

Based on CIB Marine’s preliminary analysis, on the Effective Date of the Plan the cancellation of debt and the related issuance of preferred shares will result in a $106 million increase in the Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity, The proforma summary of CIB Marine’s regulatory ratios using this increase to Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity as of September 30, 2009 would be as follows:

Assuming the Plan is approved and implemented by the Bankruptcy Court, the proforma capital ratios of CIB Marine would be above the 4% required by the Agreement.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Since December 31, 2008, CIB Marine’s market risk profile has continued to favor declining interest rates over rising interest rates. CIB Marine’s strategy is to gradually increase the term structure of its repricing liabilities relative to that of its assets to reduce the impact of a potentially rising interest rate environment at some point in the future. The percentage decrease in the net interest income over a one year time period has worsened for the simulation of an immediate increase in interest rates. This is partially the result of having more term liabilities maturing in the next six months relative to assets at September 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008; but is also due to having a lower starting net interest margin resulting from the rising proportion of total interest expense represented by interest expense relating to the Debentures, the increased level of non-performing assets, elevated holdings of cash and due from balances and limitations in reducing the interest cost of deposits (i.e., due to implied deposit rate floors).

The following table illustrates the period and cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap for September 30, 2009.

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 of September 30, 2009. Based on this evaluation, CIB Marine’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2009.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in CIB Marine's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, CIB Marine's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
On September 15, 2009, the requisite beneficial owners of CIB Marine’s TruPS gave approval to the Plan which paved the way for the Company to file the Plan in Bankruptcy Court (Case No. 09-33318) under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The restructuring of the Company pursuant to the Plan will have no direct impact on the operations of the Bank, which is regulated separately from the Company by both federal and state regulators and whose accounts are insured by the FDIC. The Company continues to operate its business as a “debtor in possession” under the jurisdiction and supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. CIB Marine is continuing normal business operations during the bankruptcy process and continues to take steps to reduce costs, increase revenue, and resolve loan credit issues with the intention of making, CIB Marine a stronger and more viable company upon emergence from bankruptcy. The direct effects of the Plan on CIB Marine will be to improve earnings by eliminating the interest burden associated with its TruPS-related indebtedness, and to significantly improve the capital position at the Company.

On September 16, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court approved certain first-day motions in the Chapter 11 case including, without limitation, orders authorizing the process of payment of suppliers, professionals and certain operating expenses.

Plan of Reorganization

The primary purpose of the Plan is to effectuate the restructuring and substantial de-leveraging of CIB Marine’s capital structure and to enhance its regulatory capital position. The Plan will allow CIB Marine to continue its businesses in the ordinary course and provides for full payment of allowed unsecured claims as defined in the Plan. The funds expected to be generated by CIB Marine’s operations will not be sufficient to meet its debt service requirements and satisfy its debt obligations without this restructuring.

Under the Plan, approximately $107.2 million of cumulative high-interest indebtedness of the TruPS will be exchanged for 55,624 shares of Series A 7% fixed rate preferred noncumulative perpetual stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share and 4,376 shares of Series B 7% fixed rate convertible noncumulative perpetual preferred stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share. Each share of Series B Preferred is convertible into 4,000 shares of CIB Marine common stock only upon the consummation of a merger transaction involving CIB Marine where CIB Marine is not the surviving entity. CIB Marine Preferred will have no stated redemption date and the holders will not have the right to compel the redemption of any or all of the shares. Further, dividends are noncumulative and payable only to the extent CIB Marine declared a dividend, at its discretion and subject to regulatory approval.

In connection with developing the Plan, CIB Marine reviewed its current business operations and compared its prospects as an ongoing business enterprise with the estimated recoveries of claims and equity interests in various liquidation scenarios. As a result, CIB Marine concluded that the recovery for holders of allowed claims and equity interests as defined in the Plan would be maximized by continuing to operate as a going concern. CIB Marine believes that its businesses and assets have significant value that would not be realized in liquidation, either in whole or in substantial part. Consistent with the liquidation analysis included in the Plan, the value of CIB Marine’s assets would be considerably greater if CIB Marine operates as a going concern instead of liquidating.

There have been no material developments in pending legal proceedings since the filing of the 2008 Form 10-K.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following discussion sets forth certain risks that CIB Marine believes could have a material adverse impact on its financial condition and results of operations. 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.

If CIB Marine is not able to fully effectuate and implement the Plan, in Chapter 11, the case may be converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to which a trustee would be elected or appointed to liquidate the assets of CIB Marine in accordance with the priorities of the Bankruptcy Code.

While operating as debtors-in-possession under Chapter 11, CIB Marine may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business, for amounts other than those reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. Further, a plan, other than the pre-packaged Chapter 11 Plan, could materially change the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the historical consolidated financial statements. The historical consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the reported amounts of assets or liabilities that might be necessary as a result of confirmation of the Plan or any other plan.

56

 
Regulatory guidelines require CIB Marine and the Bank to maintain a minimum Tier 1 core capital ratio and a minimum total risk-based capital ratio at each quarter-end. At September 30, 2009, the Bank and CIB Marine’s ratios were below the “well-capitalized” guidelines as of that date. Based on CIB Marine’s current and projected levels of capital, CIB Marine anticipates that it will not be able to satisfy the Tier 1 core capital and total risk-based capital minimum ratios unless it successfully converts its Debentures into equity pursuant to the Plan. If CIB Marine cannot effectuate and implement the Plan, the Bank could be subject to further regulatory enforcement action, including, without limitation, the issuance of cease and desist orders (which may, among other things, further restrict the Bank’s business activities and potentially place it into receivership). Notwithstanding the restructuring of the Debentures, state and federal regulators could take enforcement action before the Plan is fully effectuated and implemented, which could include the state regulator seizing the Bank. If the Bank is seized, this will lead to a complete loss of all value of CIB Marine’s ownership interest in the Bank, and CIB Marine subsequently may be exposed to significant claims by the FDIC or the state regulator. In addition, further restrictions could be placed on the Bank if a determination that the Bank is undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized is made, with increasingly greater restrictions being imposed as the level of undercapitalization increases.

There is substantial doubt concerning the ability of CIB Marine to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

TruPS holders are owed in excess of $100 million, all of which is currently due and payable. At September 30, 2009, total assets at the Company were $98.1 million, which included $3.5 million of liquid assets. There is no other source of repayment of the TruPS, other than these assets. As of April 30, 2009, CIB Marine defaulted on all four series of the TruPS and the Trusts, as holders of the Debentures, have the legal right to accelerate the entire indebtedness.

As a result of CIB Marine’s current inability to meet its obligations with regard to the TruPS, combined with the continued net losses sustained by CIB Marine during the year, and in consideration of existing regulatory matters, there is substantial doubt with respect to CIB Marine’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Upon emergence from Chapter 11, CIB Marine may not be able to consummate a business combination transaction with a strategic partner within a reasonable timeframe, or at all.

Pursuant to its capital plan, CIB Marine intends to seek out a strategic business combination partner upon emerging from Chapter 11. There can be no assurance that CIB Marine will be successful in consummating any such business combination on reasonable terms within a reasonable timeframe, or at all. If CIB Marine is unsuccessful in consummating such a business combination transaction within a reasonable timeframe, it may be unable to serve as a source of strength for the Bank, which could result in regulatory intervention including, but not limited to, seizure.

The Bank is subject to a formal enforcement action with regulatory authorities.

Under applicable laws, the FDIC, as the Bank’s primary federal regulator and deposit insurer, and the state regulators as the Bank’s chartering authorities, have the ability to impose additional sanctions, restrictions and requirements on the Bank if they determine, upon examination or otherwise, violations of laws with which the Bank must comply, or weaknesses or failures with respect to general standards of safety and soundness. Applicable law prohibits disclosure of specific examination findings by an institution although formal enforcement actions are routinely disclosed by the regulatory authorities. In the 2008 Form 10-K, CIB Marine disclosed that Marine Bank, prior to the Merger, stipulated to a C&D with the FDIC and the WDFI. The C&D primarily resulted from the high level of nonperforming assets of Marine Bank and the resulting impact on its financial condition. The C&D required Marine Bank to take certain corrective actions focusing on reducing exposure to non-performing loans, charging off all loans classified as loss, imposes restrictions on lending to credits with existing non-performing loans, and accruing interest on certain delinquent loans in addition to charging off previously accrued interest on those loans. Key provisions also included a restriction on paying dividends without regulatory approval, a requirement to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of ten percent (10%) at Marine Bank, retaining qualified management, revising lending policies and procedures focused on documentation, maintaining an appropriate loan review and grading system, and adopting a comprehensive budget. Failure to adhere to the requirements of the actions mandated by the C&D can result in more severe restrictions and civil monetary penalties. The C&D added no additional requirements to the asset quality and loan review program previously implemented by Marine Bank. In connection with the Merger, the C&D, with respect to the FDIC, was assumed by the surviving entity, CIBM Bank. The C&D, with respect to the WDFI, was terminated upon the Merger. Although the IDBRE has yet to determine whether it will join in the C&D with the FDIC, CIB Marine believes the C&D will continue. Generally, enforcement actions such as the C&D can be lifted only after subsequent examinations substantiate complete correction of the underlying issues.

57

 
CIB Marine’s emergence from bankruptcy may potentially reduce or eliminate its net operating loss carryfowards.

As of December 31, 2008, CIB Marine had net operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryfowards (collectively, the “Tax Attributes”) of approximately $199.6 million. In connection with CIB Marine’s possible emergence from Chapter 11, it is likely that the Tax Attributes will be significantly reduced due to the cancellation of indebtedness income. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against the deferred tax asset related to these Tax Attributes in the condensed consolidated balance sheets included in this Form 10-Q.

CIB Marine may be adversely affected by current economic and market conditions.

The national and global economic downturn has resulted in significant financial market disruptions which may depress overall the market value of financial institutions, limit access to capital, or have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of banking companies in general and CIB Marine and the Bank in particular. In addition, the possible duration and severity of the adverse economic cycle is unknown and may exacerbate CIB Marine's exposure to credit risk.

CIB Marine has been particularly exposed to downturns in the U.S. housing and commercial real estate markets. Dramatic declines in the housing market over the past year, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures, unemployment and under-employment, have negatively impacted the credit performance of mortgage loans and resulted in significant write downs of asset values by financial institutions. Reflecting concern about the stability of the financial markets generally and the strength of counterparties, many lenders and institutional investors have reduced or ceased providing funding to borrowers, including to other financial institutions. This market turmoil and tightening of credit have led to an increased level of commercial and consumer delinquencies, lack of consumer confidence, increased market volatility and widespread reduction of business activity and employment generally. The resulting economic pressure on consumers and lack of confidence in the financial markets has adversely affected CIB Marine’s business, financial condition and results of operations. CIB Marine cannot be certain that the difficult conditions in the financial markets are likely to experience sustainable improvement in the near future. A worsening or prolonging of these conditions would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions on CIB Marine and others in the financial institutions industry. In particular, CIB Marine may face the following risks in connection with these events:

 
·
CIB Marine expects to face increased regulation of its industry. Compliance with such regulation may increase its costs and limit its ability to pursue business opportunities.
 
·
CIB Marine’s ability to assess the creditworthiness of its customers may be impaired if the models and approaches it uses to select, manage and underwrite its customers become less predictive of future behaviors.
 
·
The process CIB Marine uses to estimate losses inherent in its credit exposure requires difficult, subjective and complex judgments, including forecasts of economic conditions and how these economic predictions might impair the ability of its borrowers to repay their loans, which may no longer be capable of accurate estimation and which may, in turn, impact the reliability of the process.
 
58

 
 
·
CIB Marine will be required to pay significantly higher FDIC premiums because market developments have significantly depleted the insurance fund of the FDIC and reduced the ratio of reserves to insured deposits.
 
·
CIB Marine’s liquidity could be negatively impacted by an inability to access the capital markets, unforeseen or extraordinary demands on cash, or regulatory restrictions, which could, among other things, materially and adversely affect its business prospects and financial condition.

There can be no assurance that enacted legislation and other measures undertaken by the Treasury Department, the FRB and other governmental agencies will help stabilize the U.S. financial system, improve the housing market or be of specific benefit to CIB Marine.

Since October 2008, various legislation has been signed into law including the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) which, among other measures, authorized the Secretary of the Treasury Department to establish a Troubled Asset Relief Program (“the TARP”). The EESA gives broad authority to the Treasury Department to purchase, manage, modify, sell and insure the troubled mortgage related assets that triggered the current economic crisis as well as other “troubled assets.” The EESA includes additional provisions directed at bolstering the economy, including:

 
·
Authority for the FRB to pay interest on depository institution balances;
 
·
Mortgage loss mitigation and homeowner protection; and
 
·
Authority to the SEC to suspend mark-to-market accounting requirements for any issuer or class of category of transactions.

Pursuant to the TARP, the Treasury Department has created the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) to provide access to capital to financial institutions through a standardized program to acquire preferred stock (accompanied by warrants) from eligible financial institutions that will serve as Tier 1 capital.

The EESA also contains a number of significant employee benefit and executive compensation provisions, some of which apply to employee benefit plans generally, and others which impose on financial institutions that participate in the TARP program restrictions on executive compensation.

In October 2008, the FDIC announced the establishment of the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”) to temporarily provide insurance for all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts and guarantees of certain newly issued senior unsecured debt issued by financial institutions (such as the Bank), bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies (such as CIB Marine).

There can be no assurance as to the actual impact that the EESA and such related measures undertaken to alleviate the credit crisis will have generally on the financial markets, including the extreme levels of volatility and limited credit availability currently being experienced The failure of such measures to help stabilize the financial markets and a continuation or worsening of current financial market conditions could materially and adversely affect CIB Marine’s business, financial condition, results of operations, access to credit or the trading price of its common stock.

Finally, there can be no assurance regarding the specific impact that such measures may have on CIB Marine—or whether (or to what extent) CIB Marine will be able to benefit from such programs.

CIB Marine may be subject to further increases in FDIC insurance premiums and special assessments by the FDIC.

As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premiums based on the risk it poses to the FDIC insurance funds. In 2008, the FDIC had the authority to raise or lower assessment rates on insured deposits in order to achieve certain designated reserve ratios in the insurance funds and to impose special additional assessments. The FDIC had adopted a premium rate schedule, which provided for an assessment range in 2008 of 0.05% to 0.43% of domestic deposits, depending on the capital category and supervisory category to which the bank was assigned. For the first quarter of 2009 these ranges were increased by 0.07%, and beginning in the second quarter of 2009, the ranges were 0.07% to 0.775%. Further, in May 2009, the FDIC issued a final rule to impose a special one-time assessment against total assets minus Tier 1 capital of each insured financial institution in the second quarter of 2009, payable in the third quarter of 2009. The FDIC’s risk-based insurance assessment system was amended by the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005. Under regulations effective for 2008, each insured bank is placed in one of four risk categories based on its level of capital, supervisory ratings and other risk measures, including debt ratings for large institutions, and its insurance assessment rate is determined by its risk category. In 2008 there was a 38 basis point spread between the highest and lowest assessment rates, so that banks classified by the FDIC in Risk Category I are subject to an insurance assessment of five to seven basis points (according to the FDIC’s assessment of the bank’s strength), and banks classified by the FDIC in Risk Category IV are subject to an insurance assessment rate of 0.43%. Risk assessment rates are determined on the last day of each quarter. While the Risk Category to which the Bank is assigned is considered to be confidential information by the FDIC, due to CIBM Bank’s performance in 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 and the changes to the FDIC rate structure, the insurance premium for the Bank has increased significantly for 2009 and has had a material adverse effect on CIB Marine’s results of operations.

59

 
The creditworthiness of other financial institutions could adversely affect CIB Marine.

CIB Marine’s ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely impacted by the actions and commercial soundness of other banks and financial institutions. Banks are interrelated as a result of lending, clearing, counterparty and other relationships. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more banks or the general banking industry have led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by CIB Marine or by other financial institutions. Many of the transactions engaged in by CIB Marine and the Bank in the ordinary course of business expose CIB Marine to credit risk in the event of default of its counterparty or customer. In such instances, the collateral held by CIB Marine may be insufficient to mitigate its losses, as it may be unable to realize upon or liquidate at prices sufficient to recover the full amount of the exposure due it. Such losses could have a material and adverse affect on CIB Marine’s result of operations.

Terrorism, acts of war, international conflicts and natural disasters could negatively affect CIB Marine’s business and financial condition.

Acts or threats of war or terrorism, international conflicts (including conflict in the Middle East), natural disasters, and the actions taken by the U.S. and other governments in response to such events, could disrupt business operations and negatively impact general business and economic conditions in the U.S. If terrorist activity, acts of war, other international hostilities or natural disasters disrupt business operations, trigger technology delays or failures, or damage physical facilities of the Bank, its customers or service providers, or cause an overall economic decline, the financial condition and operating results of CIB Marine could be materially adversely affected. The potential for future occurrences of these events has created many economic and political uncertainties that could seriously harm CIB Marine’s business and results of operations in ways that cannot presently be predicted.

CIB Marine’s earnings also are significantly affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies, which could affect repayment of loans and thereby materially adversely affect CIB Marine.

The policies of the FRB impact CIB Marine significantly. The FRB regulates the supply of money and credit in the U.S. Its policies directly and indirectly influence the rate of interest earned on loans and paid on borrowings and interest-bearing deposits and can also affect the value of financial instruments CIB Marine holds. Those policies determine to a significant extent CIB Marine’s cost of funds for lending and investing. Changes in those policies are beyond CIB Marine’s control and are difficult to predict. FRB policies can affect the Bank’s borrowers, potentially increasing the risk that they may fail to repay their loans. For example, a tightening of the money supply by the FRB could reduce the demand for a borrower’s products and services. This could adversely affect the borrower’s earnings and ability to repay its loan, which could materially adversely affect CIB Marine.

60

 
CIB Marine has suffered large losses in recent years and may not be able to execute its strategic plan and return to profitability.

Although CIB Marine has developed and implemented strategies to improve its profitability in the future, there can be no assurance that these strategies will be successful. CIB Marine’s strategic plans are dependent on its ability to attract and retain borrowing customers, commercial loan officers and core deposits, all of which have been negatively impacted as a result of losses and a weakened financial condition. If CIB Marine is unable to execute its strategic plans and return to profitability, it will have a material impact on its business, results of operations and financial condition including the possibility of negative shareholder equity and further declines in regulatory capital ratios. The inability to return to profitability may require CIB Marine to reduce the size of the Bank and/or reduce staff. There can be no assurance that if CIB Marine is required to sell assets, it will be able to do so on acceptable terms. Regulators could take further action against CIB Marine in the event it does not return to profitability and maintain adequate capital levels.
 
CIB Marine is subject to liquidity risk.

Liquidity risk is the potential that CIB Marine will continue to be unable to meet its obligations as they come due or capitalize on growth opportunities as they arise because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain funding on a timely basis, at a reasonable cost and within acceptable risk tolerances. Liquidity is required to fund credit obligations to borrowers, withdrawals by depositors, repayment of debt when due or called, operating expenses and capital expenditures, among other things.

Funding sources are derived primarily from bank-issued deposit growth and retention; principal and interest payments on loans; sale, maturity and prepayment of investment securities; net cash provided from operations; and access to other funding sources, including secured and unsecured borrowings.

CIB Marine’s liquidity can be affected by a variety of factors, including general economic conditions, market disruption, operational problems affecting third parties or CIB Marine, unfavorable pricing, competition, CIB Marine’s credit rating and any regulatory restrictions. In addition, some of the borrowing sources customarily utilized by CIB Marine have been restricted or unavailable due to CIB Marine’s operating performance and financial condition and could be further restricted.

CIB Marine’s results of operations are subject to general and regional economic conditions, which are beyond its control.

CIB Marine’s success depends to a large degree on the general economic conditions of the diverse geographic markets its Bank serves. Local economic conditions have a significant impact on the generation of commercial, commercial real estate, and real estate loans; the ability of borrowers to repay these loans; and the value of the collateral securing these loans. Adverse changes in the economic conditions of the markets in which the Bank operates could also negatively impact the financial results of CIB Marine’s operations. For example, adverse changes in these factors could lead to reduced interest income and an increase in the provision for loan losses. This is consistent with what has occurred during the current economic downturn with CIB Marine incurring significant losses and a corresponding reduction in shareholders’ equity during the past year.

CIB Marine operates in a highly regulated environment and is subject to supervision and examination by various federal and state regulatory agencies.

As a bank holding company, CIB Marine is regulated by the FRB, and the Bank is regulated separately by federal and state banking regulators. This regulation is primarily intended to protect the Bank’s customers and their deposits rather than CIB Marine’s shareholders. In addition, CIB Marine’s common stock is registered under the Exchange Act and it is subject to regulation by the SEC and to public reporting requirements.

CIB Marine remains under the Agreement with the Reserve Bank which continues to impose certain restrictions and reporting requirements including, but not limited to:

 
·
Restrictions on dividend payments and redemption of shares of CIB Marine stock without regulatory approval;
 
·
Adoption of a comprehensive plan to improve earnings;
 
·
Development of a plan to correct and prevent violations of banking laws and regulations related to affiliate transactions.

In addition, banking regulators can take actions at any time which could have an adverse impact on CIB Marine. These actions could include raising minimum capital amounts, restricting growth or other actions. Continued losses at the Bank may require CIB Marine to provide additional capital. CIB Marine’s capability to provide this capital is dependent on its limited cash resources and other assets. During 2008, CIB Marine contributed $5.0 million of capital to the Bank and, subsequent to December 31, 2008 contributed $4.0 million of capital to the Bank.

The Bank’s loan portfolios contain concentrations of credit to one borrower, related borrowers or borrowers in the same industry, which creates special credit risks.

Credit risk at the Bank is primarily related to the risk that a borrower will not be able to repay some or all of their obligations to the Bank. Concentrations of credit risk occur when the aggregate amount owed by one borrower, a group of related borrowers, or borrowers within the same or related industries or groups represent a relatively large percentage of the total capital or total credit extended by a bank. Although each loan in a concentration may be of sound quality, concentration risks represent a risk not present when the same loan amounts are extended to borrowers that are not a part of a concentration. Loans concentrated in one borrower depend, to a large degree, upon the financial capability and character of the individual borrower. Loans made to a group of related borrowers can be susceptible to financial problems experienced by one or a few members of that group. Loans made to borrowers that are part of the same or related industries or groups can be all adversely impacted with respect to their ability to repay some or all their obligations when adverse conditions prevail in the broader economy or even within just the respective industries or groups.

At September 30, 2009, CIB Marine had certain concentrations of credit risk, which are described in more detail in the “Credit Concentrations” section in Part I, Item 7 of this Form 10-Q.

CIB Marine’s profitability is dependent upon its ability to manage net interest income.

CIB Marine’s primary source of income is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earnings assets (consisting primarily of loans and securities) and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities (consisting primarily of deposits and other borrowings). The level of net interest income is a function of the average balance of interest-earning assets, the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, and the spread between the yield on such assets and the cost of such liabilities. These factors are influenced by the Bank’s ability to attract loans and core deposits and the pricing and mix of these and other interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which, in turn, are impacted by such external factors as the local economy, competition for loans and deposits, monetary policy, and market interest rates.

The level of net interest income is influenced by movements in such rates of interest, and the pace at which such movements occur. If the interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities increase at a faster pace than the interest rates on interest-earning assets, the result could be a reduction in net interest income and with it, a reduction in earnings. CIB Marine’s net interest income and earnings would be similarly impacted if the interest rates on interest-earning assets decline more quickly than the interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, such changes in interest rates could have an effect on the ability to originate loans and attract and retain deposits; the fair value of financial assets and liabilities; and the average life of loan and securities portfolios.

CIB Marine is subject to credit risk.

CIB Marine is exposed to the risk that third parties that owe the Bank money, securities, or other assets will not repay their obligations. Credit risk arises anytime the Bank commits, invests or otherwise extends funds through contractual agreements, whether reflected on or off the balance sheet. These parties may default on their obligations due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons.

CIB Marine’s credit risk is concentrated in the Bank’s loan portfolios. Credit risk is affected by a variety of factors including credit-worthiness of the borrower, the sufficiency of underlying collateral, the enforceability of third-party guarantees, changing economic and industry conditions and concentrations of credit by loan type, terms or geographic area, changes in the financial condition of the borrower or other party, and by credit and underwriting policies.

CIB Marine has established an allowance for loan losses which represents management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance involves a high degree of subjectivity. If CIB Marine’s assumptions and judgments are incorrect, its allowance may not be sufficient and additional provisions may need to be made. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the allowance and may require an increase in the allowance or loan charge-offs. Increases in the allowance or charge-offs could have a material adverse effect on CIB Marine’s financial condition and results of operations.

The current economic environment poses significant challenges to CIB Marine’s efforts to execute its capital plan.

CIB Marine is operating in a difficult and uncertain economic environment which makes a quick return to profitability unlikely. This will continue to put pressure on already declining capital ratios at CIB Marine. In addition to the deteriorating credit quality due to the economic downturn, troubled worldwide credit markets and the specific contraction of the U.S. housing market which have been reflected in higher provision for loan losses and loan charge-offs, these same trends may also cause valuation changes and losses in other balance sheet items, most notably the investment portfolio. During future periods, as the full effects of the economic conditions on CIB Marine’s investment portfolio are determined, CIB Marine may experience OTTI write downs in its investment portfolio which would further reduce the level of capital. The aggregate of loan and securities losses could result in CIB Marine or the Bank being considered undercapitalized. Being undercapitalized from a regulatory standpoint would likely result in additional restrictions being placed on CIB Marine, further restricting its ability to meet its obligations as they come due. As of September 30, 2009 and as of the date of this Form 10-Q, CIB Marine continued to be subject to the Agreement it entered into with the Reserve Bank in the second quarter of 2004. Failure to comply with the Agreement could have a material adverse effect on CIB Marine and its operations.

CIB Marine’s accounting policies and methods are critical to how it reports its financial condition and results of operations and require management to make estimates about matters that are uncertain.

Accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how CIB Marine records and reports the financial condition and results of operations. Management must exercise judgment in selecting and applying many of these accounting policies and methods so they comply with GAAP in the U.S.

Management has identified certain accounting policies as being critical because they require management’s judgment to ascertain the valuations of assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset, or reducing a liability. CIB Marine has established detailed policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure these critical accounting estimates and judgments are well controlled and applied consistently. In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. Because of the uncertainty surrounding CIB Marine’s judgments and the estimates pertaining to these matters, CIB Marine cannot guarantee that it will not be required to adjust accounting policies or restate prior period financial statements. See the “Critical Accounting Policies” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis Section and Item 8, Note 1-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Part II of the 2008 Form 10-K.

Changes in accounting standards could adversely affect CIB Marine’s reported financial results.

The bodies that set accounting standards for public companies, including the FASB, the SEC and others, periodically change or revise existing interpretations of the accounting and reporting standards that govern the way that CIB Marine reports its financial condition and results of operations. These changes can be difficult to predict and can materially impact CIB Marine’s reported financial results. In some cases, CIB Marine could be required to apply a new or revised accounting standard, or a new or revised interpretation of an accounting standard, retroactively, which could have a negative impact on reported results or result in the restatement of CIB Marine’s financial statements for prior periods.

CIB Marine’s disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.

CIB Marine’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, and recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. CIB Marine believes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, that alternative reasoned judgments can be drawn, or that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by an unauthorized override of the controls. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in CIB Marine’s control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Significant legal actions could subject CIB Marine to substantial uninsured liabilities.

CIB Marine is from time to time subject to claims related to its operations. These claims and legal actions, including supervisory actions by regulators, could involve large monetary claims and significant defense costs. Substantial legal liability or significant regulatory action against CIB Marine could have material adverse financial effects or cause significant reputational harm to it, which in turn, could seriously harm its business prospects. CIB Marine may be exposed to substantial uninsured liabilities, which could affect its results of operations and financial condition.

In the normal course of business, CIB Marine is subject to various legal proceedings and claims. Accordingly, although CIB Marine believes it has made adequate provisions for all current and threatened legal disputes, CIB Marine may, in the future become involved in legal disputes arising from its relationships with its shareholders, business partners and creditors, or from other sources. Such legal disputes could result in large settlements and/or judgments which could materially impair CIB Marine’s financial condition. In addition, the defense of such proceedings could result in significant expense and the diversion of management’s time and attention from the operation of the business, which could impede CIB Marine’s ability to achieve its business objectives. Some or all of the amount CIB Marine may be required to pay to defend or to satisfy a judgment or settlement of any or all of these proceedings may not be covered by insurance.

CIB Marine is dependent upon key personnel.

Management believes that CIB Marine’s and the Bank’s success will be greatly influenced by the continuing ability to retain the services of its existing management team. The unexpected loss of the services of CIB Marine’s or the Bank’s key management personnel or the inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in the future, could have an adverse effect on CIB Marine’s and the Bank’s business and financial results.

CIB Marine may be subjected to negative publicity that may adversely affect its business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operation.

CIB Marine has recently been the subject of news reports discussing its financial situation and may continue to be subject to negative publicity as the press and others speculate about whether CIB Marine will be able to continue as a going concern. These reports may have a negative impact on its business. The negative publicity could result in a loss of deposit customers and their related balances and reduced opportunity for new deposit customers even though the subsidiary bank is member FDIC and its deposit customers are provided FDIC insurance up to the limits. In addition, CIB Marine’s service providers may be reluctant to commit to contracts with the Company or do so on less favorable terms. Even if CIB Marine is able to improve its financial condition, there may be continued negative publicity and speculation about its future.
