CIB MARINE BANCSHARES, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1-Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been omitted or abbreviated. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc.’s (“CIB Marine” or “Company”) 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2010 Form 10-K”). References to “CIB Marine” include CIB Marine’s subsidiaries unless otherwise specified. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly CIB Marine’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 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 GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities including the allowance for loan losses, valuation of investments and impairment, if any, 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 and foreclosed collateral in the marketplace and economic conditions, both locally and nationally. Changes in these factors can significantly affect CIB Marine’s net interest income and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities.

Assets held for disposal are carried at the lower of cost or current fair value, less estimated selling costs. The aggregate assets and liabilities are shown as separate categories on the consolidated balance sheets. 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.

Regulatory Actions

CIB Marine is subject to a Written Agreement (“Written Agreement”) entered into with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (“Federal Reserve Bank”) in the second quarter of 2004. The Written Agreement requires CIB Marine, among other things, to obtain Federal Reserve Bank approval before incurring additional borrowings or debt and also requires CIB Marine to maintain a sufficient capital position for the consolidated organization including the current and future capital requirements of its subsidiary bank, nonbank subsidiaries and the consolidated organization.

CIBM Bank (“Bank”) is under a Consent Order (“Consent Order”) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Division of Banking (“IDFPR”). The Consent Order requires CIBM Bank, among other things, to take certain corrective actions focused on reducing exposure to nonaccrual loans, restricting lending to credits with existing nonaccrual loans, restricting the payment of dividends without regulatory approval, requiring the maintenance of a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10% and a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 12%, the development of a management plan and implementation of its recommendations, the need for board compliance and monitoring of the provisions of the Consent Order, and the maintenance of and a plan for reducing and managing credit concentrations. Also, CIBM Bank is restricted from issuing or renewing brokered deposits unless it obtains permission from the FDIC to do so. Generally, enforcement actions such as the Consent Order can be lifted only after subsequent examinations and evaluations by the regulatory agencies determine that the issues covered by the Consent Order have been satisfactorily resolved.

 
7

 

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIB Marine’s capital ratios are above the minimum requirement of the Written Agreement. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIBM Bank was in compliance with the minimum capital requirements as set forth in the Consent Order and believes it is in substantial compliance with the other requirements set forth in the Consent Order. CIBM Bank was classified as “adequately capitalized” as of March 31, 2011. See also Note 7-Stockholders’ Equity.

Reclassifications

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended existing guidance to improve disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance, among other things, requires new disclosures on the roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements became effective with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on CIB Marine’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

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

Securities available for sale with a carrying value of $66.1 million and $74.1 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (“FHLBC”) advances, repurchase agreements, federal reserve discount window, a federal funds and letter of credit guidance facility at a correspondent bank, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

The amortized cost and fair value of securities at March 31, 2011, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Certain securities, other than mortgage-backed securities, may be called earlier than their maturity date. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities in mortgage-backed securities, because certain mortgages may be prepaid without penalties. Therefore, mortgage-backed securities are not included in the maturity categories in the following contractual maturity schedule.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant. For those securities with fair value less than cost at March 31, 2011, because CIB Marine does not intend to sell the investment nor is it more likely than not that CIB Marine will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their respective amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, CIB Marine does not consider those securities to be OTTI, except for the following: (1) six residential mortgage-backed securities (non-agencies) (“Non-agency MBS”) with $0.1 million and $0.5 million credit-related OTTI recognized during 2011 and 2010, respectively, and (2) two trust preferred collateralized debt obligations with $0.1 million credit-related OTTI recognized during 2010 and no OTTI recognized during 2011.

There were no sales of securities available for sale during the first quarter of 2011. Proceeds from the sale of securities available for sale during the first quarter 2010 was $0.7 million and CIB Marine realized a $0.1 million gain on the sale.

Net unrealized losses on investment securities at March 31, 2011 were $3.5 million, compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011, trust preferred collateralized debt obligations accounted for $4.9 million and Non-agency MBS accounted for $0.7 million in net unrealized losses. The remaining securities had net unrealized gains of $2.1 million at March 31, 2011.

Trust Preferred Collateralized Debt Obligations. At March 31, 2011, CIB Marine held $8.7 million par value, with an amortized cost of $8.3 million and fair value of $3.4 million, of trust preferred collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”). The fair value of those securities was $3.0 million at December 31, 2010. To a limited extent those securities are protected against credit loss by credit enhancements, such as over-collateralization and subordinated securities. Unless they are the most senior class security in the structure, however, they also may be subordinated to more senior classes as identified later in this section.

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 trust preferred CDOs, CIB Marine considers them to be OTTI and recorded $0.2 million total-to-date in credit-related OTTI and has them on nonaccrual. Further deterioration in the financial industry beyond what is currently expected could result in additional OTTI related to credit loss that would be recognized through a reduction in earnings. The $4.9 million of unrealized loss recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) at March 31, 2011 is largely related to deteriorations in credit quality of many of the issuers represented in the collateral pools and high liquidity premiums for securities of this type and quality. For CIB Marine’s holdings in PreTSL 23 and 26 at March 31, 2011, the deferrals and defaults of issuers in the collateral pools have risen to a level that holders of those securities began receiving “payments-in-kind” (“PIK”) at the June 2009 payment date and are expected to continue to receive PIK rather than cash for an extended period of time. Taken in combination with expanded expected future deferrals and defaults given the deterioration in the financial industry, the two securities are considered to be OTTI. 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 the total-to-date credit-related OTTI of $0.2 million. With the exception of the contractual PIK process, the respective securities were performing as to full and timely payments at March 31, 2011, as required under the contractual arrangements.

Additional information related to the trust preferred CDOs and related OTTI as of March 31, 2011 is provided in the table below:

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.
 
(2)
Total OTTI Recognized in Earnings and AOCI are since the acquisition date of the securities by CIB Marine.
 
(3)
The percent of additional immediate defaults of performing collateral at a 85% loss severity rate that would cause a Break in Yield, meaning that the security would not receive all its contractual cash flows through maturity even though a class could enter a period where payments received are PIK but later paid in cash in addition to any accrued interest on the PIKs. Based on a collateral level analysis, PreTSL 23 and 26 projected deferrals and defaults indicate there would be a Break in Yield resulting in credit component OTTI.
 
(4)
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.

Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (Non-agencies). The unrealized losses in Non-agency MBS are primarily the result of deteriorated asset quality and financial market liquidity conditions. This has impacted the market prices to varying degrees for each respective security based upon the relative credit quality and liquidity premiums applicable to each security. At March 31, 2011, CIB Marine had Non-agency MBS holdings of $34.1 million par value with a fair value of $32.3 million, down from holdings at December 31, 2010 of $39.3 million par value with a fair value of $36.2 million. The decline of $5.2 million in par value was primarily due to the repayment of principal. CIB Marine’s principal and interest payments received on these securities from the purchase date through March 31, 2011, have all been timely and in full except for two securities with credit-related OTTI, where payments received have been timely but at amounts reduced by losses previously recognized as credit-related OTTI.

At March 31, 2011, securities with a par value of $23.1 million and unrealized losses of $0.9 million were below investment grade compared to securities with a par value of $26.1 million and unrealized losses of $1.9 million at December 31, 2010. The table below displays the current composition of the Non-agency MBS portfolio based on the lowest credit rating assigned by any of the rating agencies.

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. For six Non-agency MBS, credit related OTTI is evident and $0.1 million has been recognized in earnings during the first quarter of 2011 and $0.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2010. Additional OTTI may be recognized in the future if performance of the underlying collateral deteriorates more or for a longer period than currently projected, or if CIB Marine decides that it intends to sell, sells or determines that it is more likely than not that it will become required to sell the securities prior to full recovery of their respective amortized cost bases.

The table below summarizes the Non-agency MBS in which OTTI has been recognized during the current or prior periods. In making estimates of credit losses for those securities with OTTI, some of the key assumptions for the underlying residential mortgage loan collateral for March 31, 2011 included annualized prepayment speeds ranging between 5% and 9%, future cumulative default rates ranging between 21% and 50%, weighted average loss severity rates ranging between 44% and 54%, and resulting future cumulative collateral loss rates ranging between 9% and 27%. Resulting cash flows were projected considering the affects of related securities sharing an interest in the same pool of collateral to derive expected credit loss outcomes through maturity.

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

Although total past due loans decreased overall, the loans past due in the Greater Than 90 Days Past Due category increased by $4.3 million from December 31, 2010, to March 31, 2011, primarily due to deterioration in the commercial real estate non-owner occupied and construction and development loan segments. All the loans in the Greater Than 90 Days Past Due category are on nonaccrual.

The following table lists information on nonaccrual, restructured and certain past due loans:

The allowance for loan losses increased $0.3 million from December 31, 2010, to March 31, 2011, primarily due to an increase in allowances for the commercial real estate segment as a result of deterioration in credit quality. Total loan balances declined by $17.2 million as a result of reduced lending activity and declines in all segment balances except for residential real estate.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company has allocated $2.0 million and $1.7 million of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company has no additional lending commitments at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDR.

A TDR on nonaccrual status is classified as a nonaccrual loan until evaluation supports a reasonable assurance of repayment and of performance according to the modified terms of the loan. Once this assurance is reached, the TDR is classified as a restructured loan. At March 31, 2011, there were $17.5 million TDR loans, of which $12.8 million were classified as nonaccrual and $4.7 million were classified as restructured loans and accruing, and there were no unfunded commitments on these loans. At December 31, 2010, there were $19.6 million TDR loans, of which $14.1 million were classified as nonaccrual and $5.5 million were classified as restructured loans and accruing.

Credit Quality Indicators

CIB Marine categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. CIB Marine analyzes commercial, commercial real estate and construction and development loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. The process of analyzing loans for changes in risk rating is ongoing through quarterly monitoring of the portfolio, annual internal credit reviews for loans greater than $1 million at the time of refinance or troubled debt restructuring and annual independent loan reviews that sample a majority of loan balances targeted to higher risk and higher concentrated areas of the portfolio. CIB Marine uses the following definitions for credit risk ratings:

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

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

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

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

Substandard loans increased primarily as a result of deterioration in credit quality of the commercial real estate non-owner occupied and construction and development loan segments.

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 $1.1 million and $1.3 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

During the quarters ending March 31, 2011 and 2010, net expenses from operations of OREO, gains/losses on disposals and write downs of properties were $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Note 5-Short-term Borrowings

Borrowings with original maturities of one year or less are classified as short-term. Federal funds purchased generally represent one-day borrowings. Securities sold under repurchase agreements represent borrowings maturing within one year that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury and Government Agency Securities. The following is a summary of short-term borrowings:

There were no federal funds purchased at March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010. Securities sold under repurchase agreements were primarily to commercial customers of CIBM Bank under overnight repurchase sweep arrangements.

The Written Agreement, among other items, requires CIB Marine to obtain Federal Reserve Bank approval before incurring additional borrowings.

Note 6-Long-term Borrowings

Long-term borrowings of $10.0 million at both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consist of borrowings from the FHLBC having an original maturity of greater than one year. All of the borrowings are fixed-rate borrowings collateralized by residential mortgage-backed securities. CIB Marine is required to maintain qualifying collateral as security for both short-term and long-term FHLBC borrowings. The maximum collateral margin available for the qualifying residential mortgage-backed securities pledged as collateral is between 66% and 96% of market value, depending on the type of collateral. CIBM Bank had assets pledged at the FHLBC sufficient to support total borrowings of $14.4 million and $17.8 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These assets consisted of securities with a fair value of $15.5 million and $19.1 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. As a result, additional borrowings available at the FHLBC at March 31, 2011, were $4.4 million based on $14.4 million in potential borrowings less $10.0 million in outstanding borrowings. Similarly, $7.8 million was available at December 31, 2010, based on $17.8 million in potential borrowings less $10.0 million in actual outstanding borrowings.

Note 7 Stockholders’ Equity

Regulatory Capital

CIB Marine and CIBM 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 CIBM 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, banks 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. A bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. To be categorized as well capitalized, a bank must maintain total risk adjusted capital, Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios of 10.0%, 6.0% and 5.0%, respectively, and not be subject to any written agreement, order, capital directives or prompt corrective action directive issued by the Federal Reserve in the case of CIB Marine or the FDIC in the case of CIBM Bank.

There are five capital categories defined in the regulations: well capitalized, adequately-capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. Classification of CIBM 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.

At both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIB Marine was subject to the Written Agreement it entered into with the Federal Reserve Bank. Among other items, the Written Agreement requires CIB Marine to maintain a sufficient capital position for the consolidated organization including the current and future capital requirements of its subsidiary bank, nonbank subsidiaries and the consolidated organization.

At both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIBM Bank was under a Consent Order with the FDIC and its state banking regulator. The Consent Order, among other things, requires CIBM Bank to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10% and maintain a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 12%, At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIBM Bank’s Tier 1 leverage and risk-based capital ratios were in excess of the minimum ratios for capital adequacy purposes and hence, was considered to be classified as adequately-capitalized under the regulatory definitions. The actual and required capital amounts and ratios (as defined in the regulations) for CIB Marine and CIBM Bank are presented in the tables below. As noted earlier, CIBM Bank is subject to the Consent Order requiring it to maintain capital at a level greater than the level required to be considered “well capitalized” under applicable regulations.

Pursuant to the Consent Order, CIBM Bank is required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of at least 10% and a total risk based capital ratio of 12%; as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, this is equivalent to Tier 1 capital of $57.9 million and $61.2 million and total capital of $57.9 million and $61.0 million, respectively.

CIB Marine continues to focus on the safety and soundness of CIBM Bank. CIB Marine provided CIBM Bank with $5.3 million of capital during 2010. This was consistent with CIB Marine’s goal of supporting strong capital and liquidity positions at CIBM Bank and in keeping with its source of strength obligations under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (“BHCA”), as amended.

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

For each of the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, options to purchase 451,712 and 762,137 shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the exercise price of the outstanding stock options was greater than the average market price of the common shares (anti-dilutive options).

At March 31, 2011 and 2010, the assumed conversion of Series B preferred stock represents a potential common stock issuance of 17.5 million shares. The effect of the potential issuance of common stock associated with the Series B preferred stock was deemed to be anti-dilutive and therefore, was excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the periods ending March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Note 9-Commitments, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contingent Liabilities

Lending-Related Commitments

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.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments that CIB Marine issues to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. The maximum potential future payments guaranteed by CIB Marine under standby letter of credit arrangements was $1.9 million and $2.1 million with a weighted average term of approximately eight months and eleven months at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The standby letters of credit for which reserves were established were participated to nonaffiliated banks. CIB Marine did not default on any payment obligations with the other banks.

Contingent Liabilities

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

Note 10-Fair Value

The following tables presents information about CIB Marine’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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. Securities classified under Level 2 inputs include those where quoted market prices are available from an active market of similar but not identical securities, where pricing models use the U.S. Treasury or U.S. Dollar London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) swap yield curves, where market quoted volatilities are used, and where correlated or market corroborated inputs are used such as prepayment speeds, expected default and loss severity rates. Securities with predominantly Level 2 inputs and using a market approach to valuation include U.S. government agency and government sponsored enterprise issued securities and mortgage-backed securities, certain corporate or foreign sovereign debt securities, private issue mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities, equity securities with quoted market prices but low or infrequent trades and debt obligations of states and political subdivisions. Where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are either not available, or are significantly adjusted, the securities are classified under Level 3 inputs. The available for sale securities using Level 3 inputs were trust preferred securities collateralized debt obligations with fair values measured using predominantly the income valuation approach (present value technique), where expected future cash flows less expected losses were discounted using a discount rate consisting of benchmark interest rates plus credit, liquidity and option premium spreads from similar and comparable, but not identical, types of debt instruments and from models. The credit and liquidity premium spreads used in the discount rates and the credit factors used in deriving cash flows represent significant unobservable inputs.

Loans Held for Sale. The fair value of loans held for sale, consisting primarily of commercial real estate and residential real estate loans, is estimated based on indicative and general sale price levels for commercial real estate loans of similar quality and current prices for similar residential real estate loans offered by mortgage correspondent banks. Residential real estate loans originated as held for sale are valued using predominantly Level 2 inputs, including loan prices as provided by correspondent mortgage banks which are closely correlated with broader market prices for newly-originated residential real estate loans subject to Fannie Mae underwriting guidelines. Due to limited market activity in specific loan assets, all other loans designated as held for sale are valued predominantly using unobservable inputs classified under Level 3 inputs. These inputs include indicative prices, loan discount rates and general loan market price level information for loans of similar type and quality. A market approach is the primary valuation technique used to measure the fair value of loans held for sale.

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

Other Real Estate Owned. OREO fair value estimates are derived using the market approach to valuation using Level 2 inputs, including primarily the appraised value of the real estate, adjusted for estimated selling costs, with certain other market correlated or corroborated information to reflect current market values.

The table below summarizes fair value of financial assets and liabilities at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

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.

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 may be 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.

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 repurchase agreements.

Loans Receivable. The fair value of loans receivable was estimated using the income approach to valuation 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. There is no market for FHLBC stock and it may only be sold back to the FHLBC or another member institution at par with the FHLBC and the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (“FHFA”) approval. As a result, its cost, and its par amount at this time represents its carrying amount. The carrying amount of FHLBC stock was $11.6 million at both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Accrued Interest Receivable. The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate its fair value.

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

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.

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

The following is a discussion and analysis that presents CIB Marine’s consolidated financial condition as of March 31, 2011, and its changes in financial condition and results of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, as well as CIB Marine’s 2010 Form 10-K.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

There are inherent difficulties in predicting factors that may affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements. These factors include those referenced in Part I, Item 1A-Risk Factors of CIB Marine’s 2010 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.

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

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

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

Overview

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

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The financial condition and results of operations presented in the consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements, selected financial data appearing elsewhere within this report, and management’s discussion and analysis are dependent upon CIB Marine’s accounting policies. The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments about matters that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

Presented below are discussions of those accounting policies that management believes are the most important (“Critical Accounting Policies”) to the portrayal and understanding of CIB Marine’s financial condition and results of operations. These Critical Accounting Policies require difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates or judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. The Critical Accounting Policies are discussed directly with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Allowance for Loan Losses. CIB Marine monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. CIB Marine maintains policies and procedures that address the systems of controls over the following areas of the allowance: the systematic methodology used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance to provide assurances that it is maintained in accordance with GAAP; the accounting policies for loan charge-offs and recoveries; the assessment and measurement of impairment in the loan portfolio; and the loan grading system.

CIB Marine evaluates certain commercial, commercial real estate and construction and development loans individually for impairment as required by the FASB. Loans evaluated individually for impairment include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, restructured loans and other loans identified by management as being impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial, commercial real estate and construction and development loans over $350,000 and all troubled debt restructured loans (“TDR”) 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. If the evaluation shows that a loan is individually impaired, then a specific reserve is established for the amount of impairment. The specific reserve is determined as the excess, if any, of the carrying value of the loan over the amount determined using the measurement alternative employed at the measurement date. The carrying value of the loan reflects reductions, if any, from prior charge-offs. The purchased home equity pool loans are evaluated based on historical charge-off data, past due information, and other environmental factors concerning the real estate market. CIB Marine’s policy is to charge-off these loans once they become 90 days or more past due. Loans, including all other residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans which are not evaluated individually are assessed for impairment with groups of loans that have similar characteristics.

For loans which are not individually evaluated, CIB Marine makes estimates of losses for groups of loans. Loans are grouped by similar characteristics, including the type of loan, the assigned credit risk grade and the general collateral type. A loss rate reflecting the expected losses inherent in a group of loans is derived based upon estimates of expected default and loss rates for the group of loans in part based upon CIB Marine’s loss history and related migration analysis. The resulting estimate of losses for groups of loans are adjusted for relevant environmental factors and other conditions, including: borrower and industry concentrations; levels and trends in delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries; changes in underwriting standards and risk selection; level of experience and ability of lending management; national and local economic conditions; and off-balance sheet positions.

The amount of estimated impairment for individually evaluated loans and the estimate of losses for groups of loans collectively evaluated for impairment are added together for a total estimate of loan losses. The estimate of losses for groups of loans includes an assessment of a range of likely loss outcomes and the most likely outcome is used. This total estimate of loan losses is compared to the allowance for loan losses of CIBM Bank as of the evaluation date. If the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance is made. If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the allowance is reduced. CIB Marine recognizes the inherent imprecision in estimates of losses due to various uncertainties and variability related to the factors used to estimate loan losses. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail and it is determined that the allowance is not adequate to absorb the new estimate of probable losses, an additional provision for loan losses will be made, which may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Measurement of Fair Value. A portion of CIB Marine’s assets and liabilities are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recorded either through earnings or other comprehensive income in accordance with applicable GAAP. These include CIB Marine’s available for sale securities and other equity securities. The estimation of fair value also affects certain other loans held for sale, which are not recorded at fair value but at the lower of cost or market. The determination of fair value is important for certain other assets, including impaired loans, and OREO that are periodically evaluated for impairment using fair value estimates.

Fair value is generally defined as the amount at which an asset or liability could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing, unrelated parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value is based on quoted market prices in an active market, or if market prices are not available, is estimated using models employing techniques such as matrix pricing or discounting expected cash flows. The significant assumptions used in the models, which include assumptions for interest rates, discount rates, prepayments and credit losses, are independently verified against observable market data where possible. Where observable market data is not available, the estimate of fair value becomes more subjective and involves a high degree of judgment. In this circumstance, fair value is estimated based on management’s judgment regarding the value that market participants would assign to the asset or liability. This valuation process takes into consideration factors such as market illiquidity. Imprecision in estimating these factors can impact the amount recorded on the balance sheet for a particular asset or liability with related impacts to earnings or other comprehensive income.

Securities Available for Sale. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized net gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Management evaluates securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant. Declines in the fair value of securities available for sale that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are charged to earnings as a realized loss and a new cost basis for the securities is established. In evaluating OTTI, CIB Marine’s management considers the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, whether or not CIB Marine intends to sell or it is more likely than not CIB Marine will be required to sell the security prior to a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery of fair value, and other factors as detailed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in this Form 10-Q.

Income Taxes. CIB Marine recognizes expense for federal and state income taxes currently payable as well as for deferred federal and state taxes for estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets, as well as loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon CIB Marine generating sufficient taxable income in either the carryforward or carryback periods to cover net operating losses generated by the reversal of temporary differences. A valuation allowance is provided by way of a charge to income tax expense if it is determined that it is not more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will be realized. If different assumptions and conditions were to prevail, the valuation allowance may not be adequate to absorb unrealized deferred taxes and the amount of income taxes payable may need to be adjusted by way of a charge or credit to expense. Furthermore, income tax returns are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), state taxing authorities, and foreign government taxing authorities. Income tax expense for current and prior periods is subject to adjustment based upon the outcome of such audits. CIB Marine believes it has adequately accrued for all probable income taxes payable and provided valuation allowances for deferred tax assets where it has been determined to be not more likely than not that such assets are realizable. Accrual of income taxes payable and valuation allowances against deferred tax assets are estimates subject to change based upon the outcome of future events.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations-Summary

Net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2011 was $1.3 million or an improvement of $1.1 million compared to the net loss of $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2010. The reduction in the net loss between periods was primarily due to a reduction in the provision for loan losses. The first quarter 2011 provision for loan losses was $1.6 million lower than the first quarter of 2010 due primarily to less adverse change in credit quality.

(1)
Noninterest income from continuing operations includes pretax gains on investment securities of $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
(2)
Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, to average interest-earning assets. In the future, CIB Marine does not expect to realize all the tax benefits associated with tax-exempt assets due to substantial losses it has incurred and for all quarters presented no U.S. federal or state loss carryback potential remains. Accordingly, interest income on tax-exempt earning assets has not been adjusted to reflect the tax-equivalent basis. If March 2011 and 2010 had been shown on a tax-equivalent basis of 35%, the net interest margin would have been 3.62% and 3.18%, respectively.

 
28

 

(3)
Net interest spread is the yield on average interest-earning assets less the rate on average interest-bearing liabilities.
(4)
Noninterest income to average assets excludes gains and losses on securities.
(5)
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.
(6)
Loss on average assets is net loss from continuing operations divided by average total assets.
(7)
Loss on average equity is net loss from continuing operations divided by average common equity.
(8)
Excludes loans held for sale from nonaccrual loans, nonperforming assets and 90 days or more past due and still accruing loans.

Net Interest Income

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

Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, to average interest-earning assets.

Net interest income decreased $0.3 million, or 5.9%, from $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2010 to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease was mainly attributable to the continued decline in earning assets. CIB Marine has various strategies to improve net interest income, including growing loans extended to local commercial banking relationships, reducing nonperforming loans, reducing interest costs by improving the composition of funding liabilities, managing investments to improve performance of the portfolio, using collateralized borrowings such as FHLB advances and repurchase agreements when they have a relative cost advantage over other bank funding sources and it is consistent with CIB Marine’s liquidity strategy and adjusting deposit interest rates, which often lag key banking indices when those indices change rapidly.

Total interest income decreased $1.3 million, or 16.5%, from $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2010 to $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease was due to a $0.8 million, or 35.8%, decrease in interest income on securities and a $0.5 million, or 9.4%, decrease in interest income on loans during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period 2010. The decrease in interest income on the securities resulted primarily from a $59.2 million strategic reduction in average balances. The decrease in interest income on loans resulted primarily from a $55.4 million reduction in average loan balances, slightly offset by a 15 basis point improvement in loan yields due to improving non-accrual loan balances during the first quarter of 2011 compared to first quarter of 2010.

Total interest expense decreased $1.0 million, or 38.2%, from $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2010 to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.0 million, or 44.6%, decrease in interest expense on time deposits. The decrease in interest expense on time deposits was due to a 35 basis point decline in average interest costs paid on time deposits and due to a $133.1 million strategic reduction in average balances for time deposits. CIB Marine reduced time deposit and corresponding securities balances to reduce total assets as part of its capital management strategy and consistent with its liquidity and interest rate risk management strategies, and due to the limited earning opportunities from the difference in rates paid on the time deposits versus the available interest rate paid on government securities of comparable term as well as the limited lending opportunities in the local geographies.

CIB Marine’s net interest margin, which is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets, increased significantly by 44 basis points from 3.18% during the first quarter of 2010 to 3.62% during the first quarter of 2011 and its net interest spread, which is the difference between the rate earned on average interest-earning assets and the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities, increased 50 basis points during the same period. The net interest margin increase was primarily due to the improved cost and composition of interest-bearing liabilities, with an increased percent being comprised of non-time deposits. Average yield of interest-earning assets increased 4 basis points and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 46 basis points.

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

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings taken to maintain the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses was $1.1 million and $2.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2011 the provision for loan losses continued to be adversely affected by the deteriorated market conditions for real estate and, in particular, the commercial real estate loan segment, where an additional provision of $1.2 million was made compared to $1.5 million during the same period in 2010.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased $0.3 million from $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to $0.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.1 million decrease in gain on sale of securities, $0.1 million decrease in gain on sale of assets and $0.1 million increase in OTTI.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense decreased $0.1 million, from $5.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to $5.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The decrease was due to decreases in: compensation and employee benefits, resulting from a reduction in full-time equivalent employees at the Company; occupancy and premises; FDIC insurance, due to reduced deposit balances; professional services and other expense. The decreases were offset by an increase in write down and losses on assets. During the first quarter of 2011, write down and losses on assets consisted of $0.7 million of OREO and $0.1 million of fixed assets compared to $0.1 million of OREO and $0.1 million of loss on sale of loans held for sale during the first quarter of 2010. In 2011, a regulatory application to close the Arizona branch of CIBM Bank was submitted. It is expected that the branch will close in the second quarter of 2011.

Income Taxes

No tax benefit has been recognized on the consolidated net operating losses for 2011 or 2010 due to the fact that realization of the tax benefits related to the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of the Company are not “more likely than not” to be realized.

Financial Condition

Overview

Total assets continued a planned decline to $579.0 million at March 31, 2011 compared to year-end 2010 total assets of $589.0 million. During 2011 and 2010, CIB Marine and CIBM Bank employed various strategies to reduce and deleverage its balance sheet and maintain its regulatory capital ratios. In addition to reducing securities available for sale by $16.4 million during the first quarter of 2011, total loans were also decreased by $17.2 million during the same period. Cash and due from banks increased $25.6 million in the first quarter of 2011 as loans and securities decreased by more than deposits. Total liabilities declined by $9.7 million during the first quarter of 2011, primarily due to the reductions in time deposits of $17.5 million partially offset by increased balances in non-maturing deposits. The closure of the Arizona branch will further deleverage the balance sheet.

Securities Available for Sale

Total securities available for sale at March 31, 2011 were $110.5 million, a decrease of $16.4 million, or 12.9%, from $126.9 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to prepayments, repayments and maturities from the existing portfolio.

The net unrealized loss on securities available for sale was $3.5 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2010. The net unrealized losses are mainly in trust preferred CDOs and Non-agency MBS, resulting from adverse credit quality and decreased liquidity for these securities.

At March 31, 2011, 6.6% of the securities portfolio consisted of U.S. government agency securities, 64.0% of mortgage-backed securities and 26.2% of obligations of states and political subdivisions compared to 10.2%, 64.1% and 23.2% at December 31, 2010, respectively. The ratio of total securities to total assets was 19.1% and 21.5% at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Loans Held for Sale

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, loans held for sale were $6.3 million and $6.6 million, respectively. At March 31, 2011, loans held for sale totaling $0.8 million were on nonaccrual status. At December 31, 2010, $1.1 million of loans held for sale were on nonaccrual status.

Loans

Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, were $383.6 million at March 31 2011, a decrease of $17.5 million, or 4.4%, from $401.1 million at December 31, 2010, and represented 66.3% and 68.1% of CIB Marine’s total assets at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Credit Concentrations

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIB Marine had no secured borrowing relationships (loans to one borrower or a related group of borrowers) that exceeded 25% of stockholders’ equity.

Shown in the table below are the concentrations in the loan portfolio classified by the 2007 North American Industry Classification System (“NAICS”) codes. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIB Marine had credit relationships within four industry groups with total loan balances exceeding 25% of stockholders’ equity as follows:

Allowance for Loan Losses

CIB Marine monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable incurred 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 reversal of prior provisions. The allowance is also increased or decreased for a change in the credit quality of segments of the portfolio. The level of the allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of an amount appropriate to provide for probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. To assess the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses, an allocation methodology is applied which focuses on evaluation of many factors, including but not limited to: evaluation of facts and issues related to specific loans, management’s ongoing review and grading of the loan portfolio, consideration of historical loan loss and related migration analysis on each portfolio segment, trends in and levels of delinquencies, the risk characteristics of the various classifications of loans, concentrations of loans to specific borrowers or industries, existing national and local economic conditions, the fair value of underlying collateral, and other relevant environmental factors and other factors which could affect potential credit losses. Assessing these factors involves significant judgment. Therefore, management considers the allowance for loan losses a critical accounting policy.

At March 31, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was $14.9 million or 3.75% of total loans compared to $14.6 million, or 3.52% of total loans at December 31, 2010. The increase since year end 2010 is primarily attributable to a $1.2 million increase in the allowance for commercial real estate loans caused by an increase in provisions for deteriorated credit, offset by reductions in the allowance for commercial loans and purchase home equity loan pools, as a result of reduced balances and reduced Special Mention and Substandard loans in these categories, respectively, as shown in the tables accompanying this section and Note 3-Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses in Part I, Item 1 of this report. The allowance for loan losses, excluding those for purchased home equity pools, increased $0.7 million from March 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010, and the allowance for loan losses to total loans, excluding the purchased home equity pools, increased to 3.50% from 3.17% over the same period.

The allowance for loan losses comprises two consolidated components, an allowance for loans measured in similar groups of loans and an allowance for loans measured individually for impairment. The allowance for loans measured in similar groups of loans was $9.7 million and $10.8 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, or 2.74% and 2.85% of the respective loan balances. The decline in amount and percent is primarily related to the decline in allowance for purchased home equity pools, as balances have declined and performance trends generally improved. In addition, a migration of loans from this group to those measured individually for impairment occurred during the first quarter of 2011. The allowance for individually impaired loans was $5.2 million and $3.9 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, or 11.8% and 10.5% of the respective loan balances. The increase in amount and percent is primarily related to the increase in impaired loans in the commercial real estate segment. The current carrying value of impaired loans at March 31, 2011 is approximately 76% of contractual principal compared to 64% at the end of 2010. At March 31, 2011, the total of the allowance for loan loss for impaired loans plus all prior net charge-offs taken against those impaired loans is $19.5 million, or 33% of contractual principal compared to $18.6 million or 36% at December 31, 2010.

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

Total charge-offs for the first quarter of 2011 were $1.4 million, while recoveries were $0.6 million, compared to $3.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2010. Net charge-offs were down the most in the purchased home equity loan pools, where they declined $0.8 million from $1.3 million to $0.5 million. Net charge-offs of commercial real estate loans also declined significantly, from $0.7 million during the first quarter of 2010 to $0.1 million during the first quarter of 2011. Although net charge-offs improved period to period, the reported amount of CIB Marine’s nonaccrual loans continues to be elevated as the economy has not fully recovered and unemployment levels continue to be high relative to historical norms. As demonstrated between 2008 and 2010, the credit environment and underlying collateral values can change rapidly, having an adverse affect on charge-offs and related loan loss provisions. In particular, declining real estate values had a pronounced affect on charge-offs for construction and development loans between the years 2008 and 2010.

CIB Marine believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible; however, 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. Management recognizes that there are significant estimates in the process and the ultimate losses could be materially different from those currently estimated. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the quality of loans and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and may require CIB Marine to make material additional provisions to the allowance based upon their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

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

At March 31, 2011, commercial loans were largely distributed to customers located in Wisconsin (27%), Illinois (38%), Indiana (25%) and Arizona (9%). Nonaccrual commercial loans were distributed to customers located in Illinois (82%) and Wisconsin (18%). At December 31, 2010, commercial loans were largely distributed to customers located in Wisconsin (34%), Illinois (35%), Indiana (22%) and Arizona (8%). Nonaccrual commercial loans were largely distributed to customers located in Illinois (84%) and Wisconsin (15%).

Commercial loans decreased during the first quarter of 2011 compared to December 31, 2010. Provision adjustments for commercial loans were negative due to a decline in balances, an increase in recoveries and a decline in impairments on impaired loans for this segment.

At March 31, 2011, commercial real estate loans comprise owner occupied real estate properties ($67.0 million) and non-owner occupied real estate properties ($170.7 million); with non-owner occupied property loan types concentrated in office space ($49.6 million), retail space ($27.2 million), multifamily residential ($23.0 million), nursing homes and assisted living ($12.5 million), and hospitality ($14.5 million). At December 31, 2010, commercial real estate loans comprise owner occupied real estate properties ($64.5 million) and non-owner occupied real estate properties ($176.0 million); with non-owner occupied property loan types concentrated in office space ($51.8 million), retail space ($27.8 million), multifamily residential ($24.5 million), nursing homes and assisted living ($12.6 million), and hospitality ($14.6 million).

Deteriorated real estate markets continue to adversely affect credit quality and new development. Impaired and nonaccrual loans in this segment increased during the first quarter of 2011 as credit quality declined.

At March 31, 2011, construction and development loans were largely distributed to customers with properties located in Illinois (31%), Wisconsin (21%), Nevada (12%), Indiana (16%) and Arizona (16%). Nonaccrual construction and development loans were largely distributed to customers located in Illinois (26%), Wisconsin (34%), Nevada (28%) and Indiana (11%). At December 31, 2010, construction and development loans were largely distributed to customers with properties located in Illinois (34%), Wisconsin (20%), Nevada (11%), Indiana (17%) and Arizona (16%). Nonaccrual construction and development loans were largely distributed to customers located in Illinois (29%), Wisconsin (26%), Nevada (31%) and Indiana (12%).

At March 31, 2011, construction and development loans primarily comprise loans for properties with vacant land held for future commercial or residential development ($22.4 million or 69%) and non-owner occupied construction loans ($6.1 million or 19%) with the majority of the latter concentrated in condominium and townhome property types ($4.9 million). At December 31, 2010, construction and development loans primarily comprise loans for properties with vacant land held for future commercial or residential development ($23.4 million or 65%) and non-owner occupied construction loans ($6.5 million or 18%) with the majority of the latter concentrated in condominium and townhome property types ($5.5 million).

Nonaccrual loans increased during the first quarter of 2011 due to deteriorated real estate markets continuing to adversely affect credit quality.

CIB Marine has significantly reduced the construction and development loan portfolio, which at year end 2007 was approximately 23.5% of total loans outstanding compared to 8.1% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2011. Given market conditions, the construction and development loan portfolio is expected to continue to decrease.

At March 31, 2011, purchased home equity pools were distributed across the U.S., with the largest concentrations in Texas (15%), California (9%), Georgia (5%), Virginia (5%), Illinois (4%), Washington (5%) and Minnesota (4%). At December 31, 2010, purchased home equity pools were distributed across the U.S., with the largest concentrations in Texas (15%), California (9%), Georgia (5%), Virginia (5%), Washington (5%) and Minnesota (4%).

The purchased home equity pools totaled $25.9 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $27.0 million at December 31, 2010. The reduction in balances during the first quarter of 2011 of $1.1 million resulted from payments of $0.6 million and net charge-offs of $0.5 million. The allowance for loan losses for the home equity loan pools was $1.9 million or 7.4% of remaining balances at March 31, 2011, compared to $2.3 million or 8.7% of remaining balances at December 31, 2010.

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 and OREO. 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 TDR 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 placed on accrual status and classified as a restructured loan. OREO 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 and related asset quality ratios at the dates indicated.

Almost all nonaccrual loans are considered to be impaired. Total loans considered impaired and their related reserve balances at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 follow:

Total impaired loans
  $ 44,502     $ 37,043  
Specific allowance related to impaired loans
  $ 5,251     $ 3,877  

The average recorded investment in total impaired loans for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $45.7 million and $50.8 million, respectively. Interest income recognized on total impaired loans during the first quarters of 2011 and 2010 amounted to $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The gross income that would have been recognized had such loans been performing in accordance with their original terms would have been $2.2 million and $1.6 million during the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Commercial real estate and construction and development loans have been the primary contributors to the elevated levels of nonaccrual loans over the past three years. In addition, these loans along with the purchased home equity pools are the largest contributors to net charge-offs during the past three years. Real estate and construction-related loans continued to make up the majority of CIB Marine’s nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Elevated vacancy rates and depressed real estate values have contributed significantly to the elevated levels of net charge-offs and the increase in the provision for loan losses that CIB Marine experienced over the past three calendar years and the first quarter of 2011. Although tentative, signs of improvement in the economy could help to stabilize real estate markets and related collateral values; however, it is still highly uncertain as to when or how much real estate values will improve.

Excluding loans held for sale, nonaccrual loans increased $3.8 million, from $33.4 million at December 31, 2010 to $37.2 million at March 31, 2011. The net increase in nonaccrual loans was primarily due to an increase in such loans in the commercial real estate loan segment related to one new nonaccrual loan property located in Florida. Nonaccrual commercial real estate loans represented 51% and 47% of total nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans was 9.4% at March 31, 2011, compared to 8.0% at December 31, 2010. Foregone interest on nonaccrual loans reduced interest income by $2.3 million and $1.6 million during the first quarters of 2011 and 2010.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest are loans which are delinquent with respect to the contractual payment terms of principal and/or interest, but for which management believes all contractual principal and interest amounts due will be collected. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIB Marine had no loans that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing.

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual and restructured loans, excluding those held for sale, was 36% and 38% at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual loans, excluding those held for sale and excluding impaired loans, whose impairments have been charged-off, was 163% and 152% at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

At March 31, 2011, CIB Marine had twelve borrowing relationships (loans to one borrower or a group of related borrowers); each with nonaccrual loan balances in excess of $1.0 million, that were not classified as held for sale. These relationships accounted for $29.9 million, or 80.4%, of nonaccrual loans excluding those held for sale. At December 31, 2010, CIB Marine had ten borrowing relationships (loans to one borrower or a group of related borrowers); each with nonaccrual loan balances in excess of $1.0 million, that were not classified as held for sale. These relationships accounted for $25.0 million, or 74.8%, of nonaccrual loans excluding those held for sale. The nonaccrual commercial real estate and construction and development credit relationships in excess of $1.0 million were geographically distributed as follows:

 
39

 

 
·
$8.3 million in Illinois consisting of three relationships
 
·
$7.7 million in Arizona consisting of two relationships
 
·
$5.7 million in Wisconsin consisting of four relationships
 
·
$3.8 million in Florida consisting of one relationship
 
·
$2.9 million in Nevada consisting of one relationship
 
·
$1.5 million in Indiana consisting of one relationship

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

CIB Marine recognizes that the current economy, with elevated levels of unemployment and depressed real estate values have resulted in many customers being far more leveraged than prudent and in very difficult financial positions. Through various forms of communication, CIB Marine encourages all customers to contact CIBM Bank if they are experiencing financial difficulties so that their individual situations can be assessed and to discuss alternatives before formal collection actions are commenced. In many cases, CIB Marine has restructured loan terms for certain qualified financially distressed borrowers that have agreed to work in good faith to reach a successful repayment agreement and, as previously discussed, have demonstrated the ability to make the restructured payments in order to avoid a pending foreclosure or a foreclosure in the future. CIB Marine has predominantly used reduced interest rates and extended terms to lower contractual payments.

At March 31, 2011, there were $17.5 million TDR loans, of which $12.8 million were classified as nonaccrual and $4.7 million were classified as restructured loans and accruing, and there were no unfunded commitments on these loans. At December 31, 2010, there were $19.6 million TDR loans, of which $14.1 million were classified as nonaccrual and $5.5 million were classified as restructured loans and accruing.

Potential Problem Loans

The level of potential problem commercial, commercial real estate and construction and development loans (“Potential Problem Loans”) is another factor in determining the level of risk in the portfolio and in determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses. Potential Problem Loans are those classified as substandard-accrual by management and cover a diverse range of businesses and real estate property types. At March 31, 2011, Potential Problem Loans totaled $12.8 million compared to $16.2 million at December 31, 2010. The composition at March 31, 2011 included $9.5 million, $3.1 million and $0.2 million in commercial real estate, construction and development and commercial loans, respectively, compared to $12.8 million, $3.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010. The decline was primarily due to the change in status of one loan to substandard accrual. The continued elevated level of Potential Problem Loans highlights management’s heightened level of uncertainty of the pace, magnitude and duration at which commercial purpose loans and related collateral may deteriorate.

Other Real Estate Owned

OREO, which represents foreclosed properties, was $4.5 million and consisted of ten properties at March 31, 2011 compared to $5.3 million and thirteen properties at December 31, 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, CIB Marine transferred one property for $0.2 million from its loan portfolio to OREO and sold four properties. During the first quarter of 2011, CIB Marine recorded a $0.6 million write down on four properties and a $0.04 million net loss on sale of four properties located in Arizona and Nevada. At March 31, 2011, OREO was geographically distributed as follows:

 
·
$1.8 million in Nevada consisting of one relationship
 
·
$1.3 million in Wisconsin consisting of one relationship
 
·
$0.7 million in Florida consisting of three relationships

 
40

 

 
·
$0.6 million in Arizona consisting of four relationships
 
·
$0.1 million in Illinois consisting of one relationship

Deposit Liabilities

Total deposits were $490.8 million at March 31, 2011 and $493.5 million at December 31, 2010. Time deposits represent the largest component of deposits. The percentage of time deposits to total deposits was 49.6% at March 31, 2011 and 52.9% at December 31, 2010, reflecting CIB Marine’s continued, albeit reduced, reliance on time deposits as a primary source of funding.

The aggregate amount of time deposits of $100,000 or more at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $69.9 million, or approximately 28.7% of time deposits and $75.4 million or 28.9% of total time deposits, respectively. In the past CIBM Bank has accepted brokered time deposits to meet short-term funding needs and/or when their related costs are at or below those being offered on other deposits. As a result of the Consent Order, CIBM Bank is restricted from issuing or renewing brokered deposits unless it obtains permission from the FDIC to do so. There were no brokered time deposits at March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

Borrowings

CIB Marine uses various types of borrowings to meet liquidity needs, fund asset growth and/or when the pricing of these borrowings is more favorable than deposits. Total borrowed funds decreased $6.8 million from $22.8 million at December 31, 2010, to $16.0 million at March 31, 2011. The decrease was attributable to a reduction of short-term borrowings.

During the first quarter of 2011, the availability of federal funds purchased by CIBM Bank with correspondent banks continued to be contingent on CIBM Bank’s ability to pledge fixed income investment securities as collateral for such borrowings.

Liquidity

CIB Marine manages liquidity at two levels: the CIB Marine parent company and CIBM Bank. The management of liquidity at both levels is essential because the parent company and the bank have different funding needs and sources, and are subject to certain regulatory guidelines and requirements. The Asset-Liability Management Committee is responsible for establishing a liquidity policy, approving operating and contingency procedures and monitoring liquidity on an ongoing basis. In order to maintain adequate liquidity through a wide range of potential operating environments and market conditions, CIB Marine conducts liquidity management and business activities in a manner designed to preserve and enhance funding stability, flexibility and diversity. Key components of this operating strategy include a strong focus on customer-based funding, maximizing secured borrowing capacity, maintaining relationships with wholesale market funding providers, and maintaining the ability to liquidate certain assets if conditions warrant.

CIB Marine’s most readily available source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents, which increased from $27.3 million at December 31, 2010, to $52.9 million at March 31, 2011. This increase was part of CIB Marine’s capital plan to continue to deleverage the balance sheet and shrink total assets thereby improving the capital ratios of CIBM Bank.

Another source of liquidity available to CIBM Bank, either as a liquid asset or as collateral to be pledged for borrowings, is its investment portfolio. Investment securities available for sale totaled $110.5 million and $126.9 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At March 31, 2011, $19.9 million pledged liabilities and contingent liabilities were outstanding which included $10.0 million to the FHLBC, $5.8 million to repurchase agreement customers and $4.1 million combined to public deposit customers, treasury tax and loan notes, and guarantees of letters of credit issued for CIBM Bank customers by a correspondent bank. Required pledged securities totaled $16.8 million in fair market value to collateralize these current outstanding liabilities and contingent liabilities. Pledged securities of $49.3 million at March 31, 2011 are in excess of pledging requirements and are generally available for pledge release and in many cases provide borrowing availability used by CIBM Bank for managing its liquidity. At December 31, 2010, $27.5 million pledged liabilities and contingent liabilities were outstanding requiring pledged securities with a market value of $25.4 million.

Deposits originating from within CIB Marine’s markets are CIBM Bank’s primary source of funding. Total deposits less brokered and pledged deposits, were $488.3 million and $490.2 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Traditionally, a main source of cash for the CIB Marine parent company is dividend payments received from its subsidiaries. Limitations imposed by the regulators currently prohibit CIBM Bank from paying a dividend to CIB Marine without the prior written approval of the regulators. The CIB Marine parent company did not receive any dividend payments from CIBM Bank during the first quarter of 2011 and, at March 31, 2011, CIBM Bank did not have any retained earnings available for the payment of dividends to CIB Marine without first obtaining the consent of its regulators. During 2010, the CIB Marine parent company received $5.0 million in dividends as a return of capital from its non-bank subsidiary, CIB Marine Capital. At March 31, 2011, the CIB Marine parent company had $3.2 million in total cash and cash equivalents. In addition, a subsidiary of the parent company had $0.9 million in cash and due from banks, $6.0 million in loans held for sale, $0.9 million in net loans and $0.7 million in other real estate owned at March 31, 2011. 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 CIBM Bank. During 2010, CIB Marine provided $5.3 million in capital to CIBM Bank to support CIBM Bank’s capital position.

Capital

CIB Marine’s stockholders’ equity was $68.5 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $68.8 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease during the first quarter of 2011 was primarily the result of a net loss from continuing operations of $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2011. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2011, stockholders’ equity was positively impacted by a $1.0 million reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

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

Average assets as calculated in accordance with 12 C.F.R. Part 325 of the FDIC rules and regulations which requires a quarter-to-date average and allows for current period adjustments of goodwill and other intangible assets.

CIB Marine’s current capital commitments include maintaining minimum regulatory capital levels and serving as a source of strength to CIBM Bank. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIB Marine was subject to a Written Agreement it entered into with the Federal Reserve Bank in the second quarter of 2004. Among other items, the Written Agreement requires CIB Marine to maintain a sufficient capital position for the consolidated organization including the current and future capital requirements of its subsidiary bank, nonbank subsidiaries and the consolidated organization. The Written Agreement will remain in effect until it is stayed, modified, terminated, or suspended by the Federal Reserve Bank. At March 31, 2011, the Tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.25%, which was above the minimum requirement specified in the Written Agreement. Depending on the overall size of its balance sheet and respective risk weightings for those assets, as well as the extent of continuing losses incurred by CIB Marine in future periods, including those resulting from security and loan related credit losses, write downs in loans held for sale or OREO, or non-credit related OTTI from securities, CIB Marine’s capital ratios could decline in the future.

CIBM Bank is under a Consent Order that includes a requirement to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10% and a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 12%. At March 31, 2011, CIBM Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio to total assets at the end of the period was 10.41% and its total capital to risk-weighted asset ratio was 13.77%.

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.

CIB Marine utilizes a variety of financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers. A discussion of the Company’s lending-related commitments and contingent liabilities is included in Note 9-Commitments, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, and Contingent Liabilities, of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

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

Recent Regulatory Developments

The SEC and other regulatory agencies continue to issue new guidance and rules relating to the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act (Act). While various rules or proposals have been issued, the one with the most significant and immediate impact on CIB Marine and CIBM Bank is the issuance by the FDIC of new rules which redefine the insurance assessment base as required by the Act. The new FDIC rules, issued in February 2011, have the impact of lowering FDIC premiums for CIBM Bank by approximately $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared with 2010.

Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

The expected impact of accounting policies recently issued but not yet required to be adopted are discussed below:

In April 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and clarified when creditors such as banks should classify loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings. Banks will now need to consider all available evidence when evaluating whether a loan modification is a troubled debt restructurings. This new guidance could result in more loan modifications being classified as troubled debt restructurings, which could affect the allowance for loan losses and increase disclosures. This new guidance for identifying and disclosing troubled debt restructures is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring after the beginning of the year. CIB Marine is evaluating the impact that the new guidance may have on its financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Since December 31, 2010, CIB Marine’s market risk profile has not changed significantly and net interest income over the next year would be more favorable for rate changes of 100 basis points versus 200 basis points in either direction. For additional information regarding CIB Marine’s market risk, refer to the 2010 Form 10-K, which is on file with the SEC.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

CIB Marine’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of CIB Marine’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2011. The Company's disclosure controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide a reasonable assurance of achieving the controls' stated goals. Based on their evaluation, CIB Marine’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011.

(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 March 31, 2011 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

CIB Marine and CIBM Bank engage in legal actions and proceedings, both as plaintiffs and defendants, from time to time in the ordinary course of business. In some instances, such actions and proceedings involve substantial claims for compensatory or punitive damages or involve claims for an unspecified amount of damages. There are, however, presently no proceedings pending or contemplated which, in CIB Marine’s opinion, would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position since the filing of the 2010 Form 10-K.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Shareholders or potential investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in CIB Marine’s 2010 Form 10-K and the updated risk factors in its subsequent filings with the SEC. Additional risks that are not currently known to CIB Marine, or that it currently believes to be immaterial, may also have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
