PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
CIB MARINE
CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. (“CIB Marine”) is a multi-bank holding company with its principal executive offices in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee. CIB Marine owned and operated four separately chartered commercial banking organizations and one federal savings bank at December 31, 2004:
| • | | Central Illinois Bank, with its main office in Champaign, Illinois; |
|
| • | | Marine Bank, with its main office in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee (“Marine – Wisconsin”); |
|
| • | | CIB Bank, with its main office in Indianapolis, Indiana (“CIB – Indiana”); |
|
| • | | Marine Bank, a federal savings bank with its main office in Scottsdale, Arizona (“Marine FSB”); and |
|
| • | | Citrus Bank, N.A., with its main office in Vero Beach, Florida (“Citrus Bank”). |
As of December 31, 2004, CIB Marine had a total of 41 full-service banking facilities in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Nebraska, Florida, Arizona and Nevada. CIB Marine sold CIB Bank, whose main office was located in Hillside, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago (“CIB – Chicago”), to an unrelated banking organization on November 30, 2004. See the discussion of discontinued operations in Item 7 of this Form 10-K for further information. On March 1, 2006 and August 1, 2006 Marine FSB and CIB – Indiana, respectively, were merged into Marine – Wisconsin.
CIB Marine offers a full array of traditional banking services through its bank and nonbank subsidiaries. These services include a broad range of loan products, such as commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial and residential real estate construction loans, one-to-four family residential real estate loans, consumer loans, and commercial and standby letters of credit; accepting demand, savings and time deposits; providing commercial paper and repurchase agreements; and providing other banking services.
As of December 31, 2004, CIB Marine also owned an 84% interest in Canron Corporation (“Canron”), a closely held steel fabrication and erection company with operations in the United States and Canada, and 100% of MICR, Inc. (“MICR”), a manufacturer of payment processing systems, both of which were acquired as a result of loan collection activities. These are businesses unrelated to CIB Marine’s banking business. Canron is in the process of a voluntary liquidation and winding down of its affairs. CIB Marine sold the assets of MICR in November 2005.
Summary of Events
During 2003, CIB Marine shifted its strategic focus from business development and asset growth to improving the company’s credit administration function, asset quality, and liquidity and capital positions. The change in emphasis occurred in response to a significant deterioration in the credit quality of its loan portfolio and other credit related matters, including credit concentration risk and weaknesses in the credit administration process, identified by the bank and holding company regulators during their regular examinations in 2002 and 2003. Moreover, these credit issues had an adverse impact on CIB Marine’s financial condition and results of operations, resulting in net losses of $17.3 million and $137.6 million for 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Delays in Filing Periodic SEC Reports
The results of the regulatory examinations and enforcement actions and the preliminary results of the Board’s independent investigation that continued until the fourth quarter of 2004 caused CIB Marine to defer filing its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2003 as well as a prolonged delay in the completion of the audit for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the filing of the 2003 Form 10-K which was subsequently filed on October 31, 2005. These issues have further caused a delay in the completion of the audits for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, the Form 10-Qs and Form 10-Ks for 2004 and 2005 and the Form 10-Q filings for the first, second and third quarters of 2006. CIB Marine filed its Form 10-Q filings for the first, second and third quarters of 2004 concurrent with the filing of this Form 10-K.
January 2003 CIB – Chicago MOU and Credit Concerns Filings
In January 2003, CIB – Chicago entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Illinois Office of Banks and Real Estate, now known as the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Division of Banks and Real Estate (the “DBRE”), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The bank regulators issued the Memorandum based on the results of their August 2002 examination of CIB – Chicago, which identified a severe deterioration in the credit quality of the bank’s loan portfolio,
3
heightened credit concentration risk, and weaknesses in the credit administration process. Pursuant to the Memorandum, CIB – Chicago agreed to take certain actions to correct noted deficiencies, maintain a Tier 1 capital level equal to or exceeding 8% of the bank’s total assets, restrict its loan growth to no more than 2% during any consecutive three-month period and suspend the declaration or payment of dividends without regulatory approval.
Fall 2003 Regulatory Examinations
CIB – Chicago experienced further deterioration in the credit quality of its loan portfolio throughout the remainder of 2003, including a significant increase in nonperforming assets. A bank examination of CIB – Chicago in the fall of 2003 and examinations at certain of CIB Marine’s other subsidiary banks during this same period revealed serious asset quality and credit administration concerns that caused the bank regulators to pursue formal enforcement actions against CIB – Chicago and several of its affiliated banks as well as CIB Marine, all of which became effective in May 2004 and thereafter. These developments led CIB Marine to begin a comprehensive review of the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2003 and to initiate an independent legal investigation of the situation.
Independent Review and Investigation
In October 2003, a Special Review Committee of the Board of Directors of CIB Marine was established to evaluate these credit issues and other issues which had come to the attention of the Board of Directors. The committee engaged the assistance of outside advisors, including independent legal counsel and an external loan review firm, to conduct an independent investigation of these developments. The investigation continued into 2004 and included an evaluation of possible illegal activities. This investigation was completed in the fourth quarter of 2004 and the results were reported to the Board of Directors, the banking regulators and CIB Marine’s outside auditing firm, KPMG LLP. Management has taken appropriate actions to address issues raised by the investigations. As a result of the investigations and its own analysis, management has adopted new policies and procedures and has strengthened internal reporting and controls. In January 2004, an Executive Committee of the Board was also formed to ensure that these issues received the full and prompt attention of the entire organization.
Announcement of Preliminary 2003 Consolidated Financial Results and Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
In April 2004, CIB Marine announced that, based on the preliminary results of the credit review, the estimated net loss for 2003 was expected to range from $135 million to $155 million and that nonperforming assets as of December 31, 2003 were expected to total $205 million. The loss was primarily due to increased provisions to the allowance for loan losses resulting from the deterioration in the credit quality of the loan portfolio and related tax effects and the impairment of goodwill. A troubled real estate development loan on the balance sheet of CIB – Chicago resulted in approximately $40 million of this loss. This property was acquired by CIB – Chicago in 2003, was included in foreclosed properties at December 31, 2003, and was transferred during 2004 to a nonaffiliated financial institution. As a result of the significance of the estimated loss and the corresponding reduction in stockholders’ equity, it was estimated that CIB Marine would be categorized as “undercapitalized” and CIB – Chicago would be categorized as “significantly undercapitalized” pursuant to regulatory guidelines for capital adequacy. CIB Marine also announced that the financial results of its prior periods may require restatement and that certain financial reports previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) should no longer be relied upon.
Upon considering the results of the comprehensive review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses which was concluded in August 2005 and the results of the independent investigation, CIB Marine also determined that it would be necessary to restate its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1999 through 2002 and the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2003. In October 2005, CIB Marine filed its 2003 Form 10-K including restatements of 2002 and 2001 for the following items:
Receivables from Sale of Stock
It was noted during the 2003 regulatory examination that certain of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks had originated loans, the proceeds of which were used by borrowers to purchase the common stock of CIB Marine. These loans should have been accounted for as a reduction in consolidated stockholders’ equity, unless the loan had been repaid prior to the issuance of the financial statements or the loan was adequately collateralized exclusive of the value of CIB Marine stock pledged as collateral, if any. The amount of such loans outstanding was $7.9 million, $7.4 million, $5.1 million and $4.7 million as of December 31, 2002, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The amount of such loans outstanding was $7.9 million at June 30 and March 31, 2003. The consolidated balance sheets at those dates have been restated to reduce loans and reduce stockholders’ equity by recording a new contra-equity account in stockholders’ equity captioned “Receivables from sale of stock.”
4
Provision for Credit Losses
The restatements also include an increase in the provision for credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2003 to account for loan losses not reflected in the previous financial statements for these periods and the reduction of interest recognized on certain nonperforming loans to correct related balances that were previously reported. These adjustments also resulted in the corresponding increase in the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2002 and 2001.
Reclassification of Securities
During the fourth quarter of 2004, CIB Marine determined that it no longer had the intent to hold to maturity its tax exempt securities classified as held to maturity. In the first nine months of 2005, CIB Marine sold $9.3 million of these securities at a gain of $0.4 million. As a result of these actions, CIB Marine determined the consolidated financial statements should be restated for all years presented to reclassify all held to maturity securities to available for sale. The effect of this restatement is to increase total securities for the unrealized gain, increase equity for the unrealized gain, net of taxes and increase deferred taxes.
As previously reported in the 2003 Form 10-K, the impact of the restatements for the loans made to acquire CIB Marine stock, the increases in the provision for credit losses and the transfer of securities held to maturity to available for sale as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, 2000 and 1999 is as follows:

Early Action to Improve CIB Marine’s Financial Condition
During this filing delay, and as the credit quality issues developed, were identified and quantified during late 2003 and into 2004, CIB Marine undertook a number of steps to improve its credit culture and strengthen the financial condition of the company. These actions included changes in company management and the Board of Directors, improvements in the credit underwriting procedures, and various measures to reduce and control expenses.

Regulatory Orders and Agreements
In May 2004, CIB – Chicago, Central Illinois Bank, Marine – Wisconsin, and CIB – Indiana entered into Cease and Desist Orders with their respective banking regulators. The orders required the banks to cease and desist from certain banking practices and the violation of certain banking laws and regulations, such violations being primarily transactions with affiliates involving loans secured by or for the purpose of purchasing CIB Marine stock. The Memorandum entered into by CIB – Chicago in January 2003 was released as a result of entering into the Cease and Desist Order. In May 2004, CIB Marine entered into a Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and in August 2004, Citrus Bank entered into a Written Agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (collectively the “Orders and Agreements”). The Orders and Agreements impose certain restrictions and reporting requirements on CIB Marine and the bank subsidiaries, and require various actions to be taken. These items include, among others:
| • | | Maintenance of minimum capital levels; |
|
| • | | Restrictions on dividend payments and redemption of shares without prior regulatory approval; |
|
| • | | Limitations on asset and loan growth; |
|
| • | | Adoption of a comprehensive plan to improve earnings; |
|
| • | | Development of a plan to reduce concentrations of credit and loan relationships classified as substandard or doubtful; |
|
| • | | Development of a system to correct loan administration deficiencies; and |
|
| • | | Development of a plan to correct and prevent violations of banking laws and regulations related to affiliate transactions. |
Management believes that CIB Marine and its bank subsidiaries have complied with the majority of the provisions of the Orders and Agreements and continues to work with the regulators to comply with the remaining requirements of such Orders and Agreements.
Additional Actions to Improve CIB Marine’s Financial Condition
As a result of the significant deterioration in the financial condition of the company and the requirements of the Orders and
6
Agreements, CIB Marine undertook the following additional actions during 2004, 2005, and 2006 in order to improve the financial strength of the company:
| • | | Liquidity Enhancements. CIB Marine improved its liquidity position by deferring interest payments on $60 million in junior subordinated debentures beginning in February 2004 and increasing investment securities and other liquid assets at the subsidiary banks. Accrued and unpaid interest on the junior subordinated debentures was $11.5 million and $18.8 million at December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, respectively. |
|
| • | | Further Reductions in Nonperforming Assets. Beginning in 2004 and continuing into 2006, CIB Marine significantly reduced the level of nonperforming assets as a result of the sale of CIB – Chicago, aggressive workout strategies and charge-offs. Nonperforming assets were $58.8 million at December 31, 2004 compared to $195.7 million at December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2005, nonperforming assets were $33.5 million and $21.5 million at September 30, 2006. The allowance for loan losses was $109.9 million at December 31, 2003, $29.6 million at December 31, 2004, $18.3 million at December 31, 2005 and $19.0 million at September 30, 2006. |
|
| • | | Further Reductions in Credit Concentrations. Beginning in 2004 and continuing into 2006, CIB Marine worked with its largest borrowers to significantly reduce the level of credit concentrations. At December 31, 2003, CIB Marine had fifteen secured borrowing relationships (loans to one borrower or a related group of borrowers) that exceeded 25% of stockholders’ equity as compared to one relationship at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 and none at September 30, 2006. |
|
| • | | Sale of CIB – Chicago. The Board of Directors evaluated a wide range of alternatives to improve the capital and liquidity position of the company, including the sale of additional common stock, sale of the company, sale of one or more of the bank subsidiaries and other asset reduction strategies. An investment banker was hired to assist in evaluating the financial condition of the company and various strategic alternatives. Upon evaluation, the Board determined that under the circumstances the sale of CIB – Chicago, its Chicago banking subsidiary, was the most prudent course of action for the company and its shareholders. On August 12, 2004, CIB Marine signed an agreement to sell CIB – Chicago. The sale of CIB – Chicago closed on November 30, 2004. The final sale price was $67.4 million in cash. CIB Marine used $23.6 million of the proceeds to repay all indebtedness under its revolving line of credit, injected $15.0 million of new capital into Central Illinois Bank and repaid a $5.4 million short-term loan from the purchaser. The balance of the proceeds is being utilized to help fund ongoing operations and to meet the liquidity needs of the parent company. The sale resulted in a pretax gain for financial statement purposes of approximately $15.6 million. At the time of sale, CIB – Chicago had approximately $1.2 billion in assets and $1.1 billion in deposits. The total consolidated assets of CIB Marine immediately after the sale were approximately $1.4 billion. The sale of CIB – Chicago significantly improved the financial condition of the company. As a result of the sale of CIB – Chicago, CIB Marine and all of its subsidiary banks currently meet the capital requirements of the regulatory orders and agreements and are expected to meet their respective liquidity needs through 2006. |
|
| • | | Sale and Wind Down of Nonbank Subsidiaries. During 2004, 2005 and 2006 CIB Marine divested itself of certain nonbank subsidiaries and commenced the wind down of certain other nonbank subsidiaries in order to more narrowly focus its resources on its core commercial and retail banking strategies. |
| o | | CIB Marine Commercial Finance, LLC. In June 2004, CIB – Chicago sold substantially all of the assets and operations of its factoring subsidiary, CIB Marine Commercial Finance, LLC (“Commercial Finance”). This company was subsequently dissolved in November 2004. |
|
| o | | Mortgage Services, Inc (“MSI”). During the third quarter of 2004, CIB Marine sold substantially all of the assets and operations of Mortgage Services, Inc, its mortgage banking subsidiary. CIB Marine is in the process of winding down the remaining affairs, and has incurred certain liabilities with respect to the operations of this company. These liabilities, totaling $1.8 million, $1.4 million, and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2004, December 31, 2005, and September 30, 2006, respectively, include repurchase obligations relative to certain mortgage loans as a result of external fraud and/or documentation issues, and certain reporting penalties. |
|
| o | | CIB Marine Capital, LLC. During 2004, 2005, and 2006 CIB Marine continued to wind down CIB Marine Capital, LLC, its mezzanine lending company. There was $3.4 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million in loans outstanding at December 31, 2004, December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, respectively. |
|
| o | | Canron. In 2002, CIB Construction LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CIB – Chicago, acquired 84% of Canron, a steel fabrication company in foreclosure. During 2003, Canron commenced a voluntary liquidation and wind down of its affairs. During 2004 and since that date, Canron continued this plan and sold several of its properties and operations. At December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, Canron had assets of approximately $14.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively and liabilities of $9.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively. In August 2005, Canron authorized and began liquidation distributions to its shareholders. Between August 2005 and September 2006 Canron paid capital distributions to its shareholders, including $3.1 million to its parent company CIB Construction and CIB Construction paid dividends totaling $4.2 million to CIB Marine, which CIB Marine recorded as a reduction of investment in CIB Construction. |
7
| o | | MICR, Inc. (“MICR”) In January 2005, CIB Marine retained the services of an investment banker to assist in the marketing and sale of MICR, a manufacturer of payment processing systems that was acquired from a borrower in lieu of foreclosure in 2000. At December 31, 2004, MICR had assets of approximately $2.7 million and liabilities of approximately $0.9 million. During 2004 and 2003 MICR generated income before income tax expenses of $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively but impairment write downs of CIB Marine’s investment in MICR were $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively. In November 2005, CIB Marine sold substantially all of the assets of MICR. No gain or loss was recognized on the sale. |
| • | | Cost Controls and Reduction in Force Program.In June 2004, CIB Marine began an overall cost cutting program which included restrictions on salaries and hiring, tight expense controls, and some executive management salary reductions. CIB Marine reduced its workforce by 34 full time equivalent employees in 2004, 90 in 2005 and an additional 15 during the first nine months of 2006, incurred severance expenses of $0.1 million, $0.9 million and $0.2 million in those periods, respectively, and trimmed its annual base pay by a total of $6.3 million by December 31, 2005 and $7.0 million by September 30, 2006 under that program. |
|
| • | | Branches Planned for Sale.In 2005, each of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of their respective branch networks and in the fourth quarter of 2005 twelve branches were actively solicited for sale, one was sold and three were closed. Four additional branches were sold in June through September of 2006. The 2005 branch activities had a minimal immediate effect on income. Gains on the branch sales during the first nine months of 2006 were $2.0 million. As of September 30, 2006 CIB Marine had signed agreements to sell an additional three branches. |
|
| • | | Charter Consolidation. On March 1, 2006 and August 1, 2006, CIB Marine merged Marine FSB and CIB–Indiana, respectively, into Marine – Wisconsin. CIB Marine may also consider the consolidation of additional charters in the future as part of its strategy to become more efficient. |
|
| • | | Intangible Assets. By the end of the first quarter of 2007, if all planned branch sales are consummated per their agreements, CIB Marine will not have any goodwill or intangible assets on its balance sheet. |
|
| • | | Foreclosed Properties. By September 30, 2006, CIB Marine reduced its foreclosed properties to $0.1 million from $2.9 million at both December 31, 2004 and 2005. |
Additional Plans and Developments
These actions have stabilized the company and resulted in a significant improvement in its financial condition. The company also believes that while it was not profitable in 2004 or 2005, and does not expect to be profitable in 2006, that these actions have laid the groundwork for the company to eventually return to profitability. Returning to profitability will depend upon whether CIB Marine is successful in growing its loan portfolio, improving its net interest margin, improving asset quality, further enhancing its credit processes and procedures and reducing overhead expenses, including ongoing collection and legal fees, and mitigating its legal risks.
All of the steps CIB Marine has taken to date to improve the company’s financial position, liquidity and operations will enhance its ability to serve the banking needs of the communities of its three remaining banks. In addition, the following officers have been appointed to lead and/or assist in the management of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks:
| • | | Rick Nisbeth as Chairman and CEO of Citrus Bank, in January 2005; |
|
| • | | A new President and CEO of Marine FSB was hired in March 2005 and served as President of Marine – Wisconsin’s western operations upon the merger of the two banks in March 2006 until his resignation in September, 2006; |
|
| • | | Joseph Henderson as President and CEO of Central Illinois Bank in July 2005; |
|
| • | | Michael Paoletta was appointed Chief Credit Officer as of January 2006 replacing Margaret A. Incandela who resigned in December 2005; |
|
| • | | John P. Hickey as President and CEO of Marine – Wisconsin in April 2006, replacing Michael Miller who resigned in February 2006. |
In April 2005, the Cease and Desist Orders at Marine – Wisconsin and CIB – Indiana, which was merged into Marine – Wisconsin in August 2006, were released and replaced with less restrictive Memoranda of Understanding, which were entered into in March 2005, as a result of improvements at the banks. Additionally, in September 2006 the Written Agreement entered into by Citrus Bank with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in August 2004 was terminated as a result of improvements at that bank. In April 2005, Central Illinois Bank, Marine – Wisconsin and CIB – Indiana each entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the FDIC and its applicable state banking regulators as a result of deficiencies in internal controls over information technology. These Memoranda of Understanding were subsequently terminated in January 2006.

Development of Banking Operations
CIB Marine was originally incorporated in the State of Illinois in 1985 as Sidney Bancorporation, Inc., a one-bank holding company headquartered in Sidney, Illinois. In September 1987, a group of investors acquired Sidney Bancorporation, which at the time had total assets of $9.4 million, and subsequently changed its name to Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc. On August 27, 1999, Central Illinois Bancorp reincorporated as a Wisconsin corporation and changed its name to CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc.
Central Illinois
At the time of the change in ownership in September 1987, CIB Marine had a single banking subsidiary, Sidney Community Bank, an Illinois state bank. The bank was originally organized in 1958 and had its sole office in Sidney, Illinois, a town with a population of approximately 1,000 people, located in Champaign County. In 1988, CIB Marine expanded into the Champaign-Urbana market, a community of approximately 100,000 people and home to the University of Illinois, changed the name of the bank to Central Illinois Bank and relocated its main office to Champaign, Illinois.
In October 1991, CIB Marine acquired Arrowsmith State Bank, an Illinois state bank organized in 1920. This bank had its sole office in Arrowsmith, Illinois, a town with a population of approximately 350, located in McLean County. At the time of the acquisition, the Arrowsmith bank had total assets of approximately $10.0 million. This acquisition allowed CIB Marine to enter the Bloomington-Normal market, a community of approximately 100,000 people, and home to Illinois State University. In July 1998, this bank was merged with Central Illinois Bank.
CIB Marine has expanded the operations of Central Illinois Bank by establishing banking facilities throughout central Illinois, including the five largest cities in this region. At December 31, 2004, the bank had total assets of $685.7 million, 148 full-time equivalent employees and 17 banking facilities: three in Champaign-Urbana, three in Peoria, and one each in Arrowsmith, Arthur, Bloomington-Normal, Danville, Decatur, East Peoria, Lincoln, Monticello, Rantoul, Sidney and Springfield.
Chicago Metropolitan Area
In June 1994, CIB Marine entered the Chicago metropolitan market through the acquisition of Hillside Investors, Ltd., a one-bank holding company located in Hillside, Illinois. The sole subsidiary of Hillside Investors was the Bank of Hillside, an Illinois state bank organized in 1963, with its main office located in Hillside, a suburb of Chicago. At the time of the acquisition, the Bank of Hillside had one banking facility and total assets of $34.5 million. In January 1995, the name of the bank was changed to CIB Bank.

Milwaukee Metropolitan Area
In September 1997, CIB Marine entered the Milwaukee metropolitan area by acquiring First Ozaukee Capital Corp., a one-bank holding company located in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. The sole subsidiary of First Ozaukee Capital Corp. was First Ozaukee Savings Bank, a Wisconsin savings bank, with its main office in Cedarburg, and a banking facility in Grafton, both suburbs of Milwaukee. At the time of the acquisition, the bank had total assets of $37.6 million. In September 1997, CIB Marine changed the name of the bank to Marine Bank and Savings.

CIB Marine expanded the operations of Marine – Wisconsin by establishing banking facilities throughout the Milwaukee metropolitan area. At December 31, 2004, the bank had total assets of $273.8 million, 45 full-time equivalent employees and seven banking facilities: one each in Brookfield, Cedarburg, Franklin, Grafton, downtown Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, and Pewaukee, which also serves as CIB Marine’s executive offices.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Area
In March 1998, CIB Marine entered the Indianapolis metropolitan area by organizing a new Indiana state bank, also under the name CIB Bank. Since its organization, CIB Marine has expanded the operations of CIB – Indiana by establishing four additional banking facilities in the Indianapolis metropolitan area. At December 31, 2004, CIB – Indiana had total assets of $126.4 million, 25 full-time equivalent employees and five banking facilities.
Omaha Metropolitan Area
In November 1999, CIB Marine entered the Omaha metropolitan area by establishing a new federal savings bank also under the name Marine Bank. In January 2003, the main office was moved from the Omaha facility to the Scottsdale, Arizona facility. At December 31, 2004, Marine FSB had total assets of $82.0 million, 15 full-time equivalent employees and four banking facilities, one each in Omaha, Nebraska; Scottsdale, Arizona; Henderson, Nevada, a suburb of Las Vegas; and Sun City, Arizona.
Florida
In September 2001, CIB Marine acquired Citrus Financial Services, Inc., including its banking subsidiary Citrus Bank, N.A., through a merger transaction. The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests. At acquisition, Citrus Bank had total assets of $84.2 million and three banking facilities located along central Florida’s Atlantic coast, one each in Vero Beach, Sebastian and Barefoot Bay, and a loan production office in Sebring. At December 31, 2004, Citrus Bank had total assets of $189.3 million, 52 full-time equivalent employees and eight banking facilities, one each in Vero Beach, Sebastian, North Miami Beach, Barefoot Bay, Sebring, Boca Raton, Biscayne Bay and Coral Gables.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Area
In January 2002, CIB Marine entered the Las Vegas metropolitan area by establishing a banking facility of Marine FSB in Henderson, Nevada.
Operations of Nonbank Subsidiaries
At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine also had five wholly-owned nonbanking subsidiaries or affiliates: Mortgage Services, Inc., CIB Marine Capital, LLC, CIB Marine Information Services, Inc., MICR, Inc., and CIB Construction, LLC.
10
Mortgage Services, Inc.
In September 1995, CIB Marine acquired Mortgage Services of Illinois, Inc., a mortgage origination and mortgage brokerage services company. In 1998, CIB Marine changed the name of this subsidiary to Mortgage Services, Inc. This subsidiary is an Illinois corporation and conducted retail and wholesale mortgage operations in a number of states. CIB Marine sold substantially all of these mortgage loans in the secondary market with servicing rights released. MSI did not separately own any facilities, and its principal office was located in the Bloomington facility of Central Illinois Bank. MSI employees also provided mortgage origination and mortgage brokerage services at many of the other branch facilities of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks. CIB Marine sold the operations of MSI in the third quarter of 2004. CIB Marine is in the process of winding down the remaining affairs of MSI. CIB Marine offers residential mortgage loans through its subsidiary banks.
CIB Marine Capital, LLC
On April 3, 2001, CIB Marine established CIB Marine Capital, LLC (“CIB Marine Capital”), a Wisconsin limited liability company. CIB Marine Capital provided leveraged financing, including mezzanine loans. Typically, the collateral coverage on these loans is insufficient to secure a senior debt position. These loans are, by their nature, inherently riskier than senior debt position loans. During 2003, CIB Marine ceased to offer new loans through CIB Marine Capital and began winding down its affairs, including the sale and collection of outstanding loans. CIB Marine Capital does not separately own any facilities and its principal office was located in the Hillside, Illinois facility of CIB – Chicago. At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine Capital had total loans outstanding of $3.4 million.
CIB Marine Information Services, Inc.
CIB Marine Information Services, Inc. (“CIB Marine Information”), an Illinois corporation, and wholly-owned subsidiary of CIB Marine, was incorporated in August 1990 as CIB Data Processing Services, Inc. In 2002, CIB Marine changed its name to CIB Marine Information Services, Inc. This subsidiary was organized to provide in-house data processing services, coordinate computer equipment leases and purchases, license banking software and coordinate operation of CIB Marine software. CIB Marine Information facilitates internal operational needs and, except for the sale of licenses to use a check fraud software program it developed in 2003, does not provide services to third parties. As of December 31, 2004, CIB Marine Information had 42 full-time equivalent employees. CIB Marine Information does not separately own any facilities.
MICR, Inc.
In 2000, CIB Marine acquired and/or assumed, through MICR, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIB – Chicago, the business and certain assets and liabilities of a manufacturer of payment processing systems. The business was acquired from a borrower, who was in default of its obligations, in lieu of foreclosure or other legal action. The principal business of this manufacturer, which operates under the name Maverick International, is the design, development, assembly, distribution and servicing of magnetic ink character recognition check encoders and related embedded software for small and medium-sized financial institutions, as well as to large retailers and independent remittance processors. This business is classified as a held for disposal asset. As of the acquisition date, MICR was recorded at $6.5 million, which represented the approximate fair value, as determined by an independent appraiser, of the business, less estimated costs to sell. During 2004 MICR paid dividends of $0.6 million to CIB Marine subsequent to the sale of CIB – Chicago. Also, dividends totaling $0.5 million, $0.8 million and $1.5 million were paid by MICR to CIB – Chicago during 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The business has generated profits in each of the prior five years. Excluding impairment losses, pretax income was $1.3 million, $1.1 million, and $1.2 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, MICR had total assets of $2.7 million and 34 full-time equivalent employees. MICR does not separately own any facilities. During 2003, goodwill of $2.0 million attributable to MICR was determined to be impaired and was written off, and in 2004, CIB Marine recognized another $1.9 million fair market value impairment related to MICR. As of December 31, 2003, MICR had total assets of $4.6 million. CIB Marine sold the assets of MICR in November 2005, and no gain or loss was recognized on the sale. For more information on this company see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Companies Held for Disposal” and “Subsequent Events – MICR, Inc.,” and the companies held for disposal note in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
CIB Construction, LLC
In 2002, CIB Marine acquired through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CIB Construction, LLC, 84% of Canron, a steel fabrication and erection company that had operations in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Canron was acquired from a borrower who was in default of its obligations to CIB Marine and it is classified as an asset held for disposal. In September 2003, Canron commenced a voluntary liquidation and winding down of its affairs. In the fourth quarter of 2003, Canron sold its Western Canadian, Western United States and Mexico operations. At December 31, 2004, CIB Construction had $13.7 million in assets and $10.2 million in liabilities. These amounts reflect estimated liquidation values net of selling costs. For more information on this company see Item 7,
11
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Companies Held For Disposal” and “Subsequent Events – Canron,” and the Companies Held for Disposal note in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Management Support Services
In addition to the support services provided by its nonbank subsidiaries, CIB Marine, as a holding company, performs a significant portion of its subsidiaries’ back office services, including credit administration, treasury and asset/liability management support services, accounting, finance, audit, operations, human resources, legal, marketing and advertising. CIB Marine believes it is more efficient for it to consolidate these services and to assure that its operating policies and procedures are consistent throughout the organization. This also enables CIB Marine to more efficiently manage the costs of these services than if these services were performed independently at each subsidiary. At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine had 155 full-time equivalent employees at the holding company level, a majority of whom are providing the described services to its subsidiaries.
Total Employees
At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine and all of its bank and nonbank subsidiaries had a combined total of 516 full-time equivalent employees, including 34 full-time equivalent employees of MICR which is held for sale.
COMPETITION
The banking industry is highly competitive. CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks compete for loans, deposits and other financial services in their markets and surrounding areas. CIB Marine competes with other financial institutions, money market and other mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage companies and other non-depository financial service companies, including certain governmental organizations which may offer subsidized financing at lower rates than those offered by CIB Marine. Many of these financial firms have a regional or national presence and resources many times greater than those of CIB Marine. In addition, new financial companies such as money market mutual funds, brokerage companies and other nonbanking organizations are not subject to the same regulations and laws that govern the operation of traditional depository institutions.
Recent changes in federal and state laws have resulted in and are expected to continue to result in increased competition. The reductions in legal barriers to the acquisition of banks resulting from the implementation of interstate banking laws, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLBA”), and other recent and proposed changes, are expected to continue to further stimulate competition in the markets in which CIB Marine operates, although it is not possible to predict the extent or timing of such increased competition.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
Bank holding companies and financial institutions are extensively regulated under both federal and state law. Any significant change in the banking laws and regulations applicable to CIB Marine or its banking subsidiaries could materially impact CIB Marine’s operations or change the manner in which it conducts business. Federal and state regulation of financial institutions is intended primarily for the protection of the federal deposit insurance funds and depositors.
CIB Marine is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”), and is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board. Marine FSB is a federal savings bank, and its primary regulator is the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”). Citrus Bank is a national bank, and its primary regulator is the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”). CIB Marine’s other bank subsidiaries are regulated by the FDIC, as their primary federal regulator, and also by the state banking regulator for the state in which they are chartered: the DBRE, the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, or the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. CIB Marine’s mortgage banking subsidiary is regulated by the DBRE, and regulators in certain other states in which Mortgage Services conducts operations.
CIB Marine and its nonbank subsidiaries are subject to examination by the Federal Reserve Board. The state banking regulators and FDIC periodically conduct examinations of CIB Marine’s state bank subsidiaries and nonbank subsidiaries that are under their regulatory authority. The OTS periodically conducts examinations of Marine FSB. The OCC periodically conducts examinations of Citrus Bank. The FDIC may also conduct special examinations of Marine FSB and Citrus Bank.
The bank regulatory agencies have extensive oversight authority relative to the depository holding companies and institutions that they supervise. They have been granted wide-ranging enforcement and supervision powers and exercise this authority to ensure that depository holding companies and institutions under their jurisdiction operate on a safe and sound basis and in compliance with applicable laws. Holding companies and institutions that fail to conduct their operations in a safe and sound basis or in compliance
12
with applicable laws can be compelled by the regulators to change the way they do business and may be subject to regulatory enforcement actions, including encumbrances imposed on their operations. At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine and each of its subsidiary banks, except Marine FSB, were subject to a Written Agreement or Cease and Desist Order. See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Regulatory Matters.”
The following discussion summarizes the material elements of the regulatory framework applicable to CIB Marine and its subsidiaries. It is not meant to be a complete discussion of all the federal and state banking statutes and regulations applicable to CIB Marine and its subsidiaries. To the extent this discussion describes statutory and regulatory provisions it is qualified in its entirety by reference to those provisions.
Expansion Activities
The BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before merging with another bank holding company, acquiring substantially all the assets of any bank or bank holding company, or acquiring directly or indirectly any ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank. The BHCA also prohibits a bank holding company, with particular exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging in any business other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks, or furnishing services to banks and their subsidiaries. Bank holding companies may, however, engage in some businesses and activities determined by the Federal Reserve Board to be closely related to banking or managing and controlling banks.
Capital Standards
The federal banking agencies impose risk-based capital requirements and guidelines on bank holding companies and banks to provide for a measure of capital that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organization’s operations for both transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets and those recorded as off-balance sheet items. A bank holding company or bank’s capital, in turn, is divided into two tiers:
| • | | core capital (commonly referred to as Tier 1 capital), which generally includes common equity, qualifying noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, and for bank holding companies, a limited amount of qualifying cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries (including trust preferred securities, provided that not more than 25% of the qualifying Tier 1 capital may consist of trust preferred securities), less goodwill and certain other intangible assets; and |
|
| • | | supplementary capital (commonly referred to as Tier 2 capital), which includes, among other items, perpetual preferred stock not meeting the Tier 1 definition, mandatory convertible securities, and limited amounts of subordinated debt and reserves for credit losses. |
Bank holding companies and banks are currently required to maintain Tier 1 capital equal to at least 4% and “total capital” (the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital) equal to at least 8% of its total risk-weighted assets, including certain off-balance-sheet items, such as unused lending commitments and standby letters of credit.
The Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the OCC have also adopted rules to incorporate market and interest rate risk components into their risk-based capital standards. Amendments to the risk-based capital requirements, incorporating market risk, became effective January 1, 1998. Under these market risk requirements, capital must be allocated to support the amount of market risk related to a financial institution’s ongoing trading activities.
The Federal Reserve Board also requires bank holding companies to maintain a minimum “leverage ratio” of Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets of 3% if the bank holding company has the highest regulatory rating and meets certain other requirements, or 3% plus an additional cushion of at least 100 to 200 basis points if the bank holding company does not meet these requirements. Federal regulators have imposed similar requirements on banks.
The regulators may set capital requirements higher than the minimums noted above for banks and bank holding companies whose circumstances warrant it. For example, bank holding companies experiencing or anticipating significant growth may be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without significant reliance on intangible assets. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve Board has indicated that it will consider a “tangible Tier 1 capital leverage ratio” (deducting all intangibles) and other indications of capital strength in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities.
At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine and its banking subsidiaries were in compliance with these minimum capital requirements. For more information about the regulatory capital levels of CIB Marine and its bank subsidiaries, see Item 7, “Management’s
13
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Capital” and Note 13 – Stockholders’ Equity in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
On January 30, 2003, CIB – Chicago entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“Memorandum”) with the DBRE and the FDIC. The Memorandum was entered into as a result of the deterioration in the credit quality of the loan portfolio, the level of concentrations of credit, and weaknesses in the credit administration process. Pursuant to the Memorandum, CIB – Chicago agreed to take certain actions to correct noted deficiencies and to maintain a Tier 1 capital level equal to or exceeding 8% of the bank’s total assets as calculated in accordance with 12 C.F.R. Part 325 of the FDIC rules and regulations (“Part 325”), during the period in which the Memorandum was in effect. In the event such ratio is less than 8% as of June 30 or December 31 of each calendar year the Memorandum is in effect, the bank is required within 30 days thereof to submit to the regulators a plan for the augmentation of the bank’s capital accounts. Also, unless prior written consent is received from the regulators, CIB – Chicago agreed to restrict its loan growth to no more than 2% during any consecutive three-month period and suspend the declaration or payment of dividends without regulatory approval. For additional information relative to the Memorandum, see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Regulatory Matters” and Note 13 – Stockholders’ Equity in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
The Memorandum was superceded by a joint Cease and Desist Order entered into by CIB – Chicago with the FDIC and DBRE with an effective date of May 29, 2004. Pursuant to the Cease and Desist Order, CIB – Chicago was required to maintain a Tier 1 capital level equal to or exceeding 8% of the bank’s total assets as calculated in accordance with Part 325. The Order further required CIB – Chicago to submit a plan within 60 days of the date of the required determination to increase its capital ratio to 8%. If it is below such threshold, CIB – Chicago would be required to prepare and submit to the regulators a plan to raise CIB – Chicago’s capital ratio to 8%. In November 2004, CIB Marine sold CIB – Chicago. For additional information on the sale of Chicago, see the summary of events discussion. Central Illinois Bank, Marine – Wisconsin and CIB – Indiana entered into similar orders with the FDIC and their applicable state banking regulators and CIB Marine entered into a Written Agreement providing for similar terms with the Federal Reserve Bank, each effective May 29, 2004. On August 19, 2004, Citrus Bank entered into a similar written agreement with the OCC. In April 2005, the Cease and Desist Orders at Marine – Wisconsin and CIB – Indiana, which was merged into Marine – Wisconsin in August 2006, were released and replaced with less restrictive Memoranda of Understanding, which were entered into in March 2005, as a result of improvements at the banks. Additionally, in September 2006 the Written Agreement entered into by Citrus Bank with the OCC was terminated as a result of improvements at that bank. In April 2005, Central Illinois Bank, Marine – Wisconsin and CIB – Indiana entered into Memoranda of Understanding with the FDIC and their state banking regulators as a result of deficiencies related to controls over information technology. These memoranda were terminated in January 2006. For additional information relative to the Cease and Desist Orders and Written Agreement, see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Regulatory Matters” and Note 13 – Stockholders’ Equity in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Holding Company Obligations
Under current Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to each of its subsidiary banks and to maintain resources adequate to support each subsidiary bank. This support may be required at times when the bank holding company may not have the resources to provide it. In addition, Section 55 of the National Bank Act permits the OCC to order the pro rata assessment of a stockholder of a national bank whose capital has become impaired. If a stockholder, like CIB Marine, failed within three months to pay that assessment, the OCC could order the sale of the stockholder’s stock to cover the deficiency. In the event of a bank holding company’s bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank would be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to priority of payment.
Safety and Soundness Guidelines
The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines to assist in identifying and addressing potential safety and soundness concerns before capital becomes impaired. The guidelines establish operational and managerial standards relating to internal controls, information systems, and internal audit systems; loan documentation; credit underwriting; interest rate exposure; asset growth and asset quality; and compensation, fees, and benefits. In addition, the federal banking agencies have adopted safety and soundness guidelines for asset quality and for evaluating and monitoring earnings to ensure that earnings are sufficient for the maintenance of adequate capital and reserves.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) requires the federal banking regulators to take prompt corrective action in respect to FDIC insured depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized.” A depository institution’s capital tier depends upon how its capital levels compare to various relevant
14
capital measures and certain other factors established by regulation. Under applicable regulations, an FDIC insured bank is defined as well capitalized if it maintains a leverage ratio or Tier 1 capital to quarterly average total assets of at least 5%, a total capital ratio or qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, of at least 10% and a Tier 1 capital ratio or Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6% and is not otherwise in a “troubled condition” as specified by its appropriate federal regulatory agency.
A bank is generally considered to be adequately capitalized if it is not defined as well capitalized but meets all of its minimum capital requirements: a leverage ratio of 4% or greater (or 3% or greater if it receives the highest composite examination rating by its examiners, subject to appropriate federal banking agency guidelines); a total capital ratio of 8% or greater; and a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 4% or greater. A bank will be considered undercapitalized if it fails to meet any minimum required measure, significantly undercapitalized if it is significantly below such measure and critically undercapitalized if it maintains a level of tangible equity capital equal to or less than 2% of total assets. A bank may be reclassified to be in a capitalization category that is next below that indicated by its actual capital position if it receives a less than satisfactory examination rating by its examiners with respect to its assets, management, earning, or liquidity that has not been corrected, or it is determined that the bank is in an unsafe or unsound condition or engages in an unsafe or unsound practice. The federal banking agencies, however, may not treat a significantly undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized unless its capital ratio actually warrants such treatment.
FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distribution, including payment of dividends or paying any management fee to its holding company, if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. Undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to growth limitations and are required to submit a capital restoration plan to become adequately capitalized. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized.
Under FDICIA, a bank that is not well capitalized is generally prohibited from accepting or renewing brokered deposits and offering interest rates on deposits significantly higher than the prevailing rate in its normal market area or nationally depending upon where the deposits are solicited; in addition, “pass-through” insurance coverage may not be available for certain employee benefit accounts.
A number of additional requirements and restrictions may apply to significantly undercapitalized depository institutions, including orders to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks. Critically undercapitalized depository institutions may be restricted from making payments of principal and interest on subordinated debt and are subject to appointment of a receiver or conservator.
At December 31, 2004, pursuant to FDIC regulations in 12 C.F.R. Part 325 Marine FSB was classified as well capitalized and Central Illinois Bank, Marine - Wisconsin, CIB - Indiana and Citrus Bank were categorized as adequately capitalized. While those banks classified as adequately capitalized met the capital ratio criteria of a well capitalized bank at December 31, 2004, they were each subject to a cease and desist order or written agreement as of that date, and pursuant to the FDIC regulations, a bank that is subject to any written agreement or order to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure cannot be classified as well capitalized.
In addition to measures taken under the prompt corrective action provisions, banking organizations may be subject to potential enforcement actions by the federal banking agencies for unsafe or unsound practices in conducting their business for violations of any law, rule, regulation, or any condition imposed in writing by the agency or any written agreement with the agency. These enforcement actions may include the appointment of a conservator or receiver for a bank, the issuance of a cease and desist order that can be judicially enforced, the termination of a bank’s deposit insurance, the imposition of civil money penalties, the issuance of directives to increase capital, the issuance of formal and informal agreements, the issuance of removal and prohibition orders against officers, directors and other institution-affiliated parties, and the enforcement of such actions through injunctions or restraining orders based upon a judicial determination that the agency would be harmed if equitable relief was not granted. Finally, pursuant to an interagency agreement, the FDIC may examine without the express permission of the institution’s primary regulator any institution that has a substandard regulatory examination score or is considered undercapitalized.
Dividend Restrictions
The Federal Reserve Board’s policy regarding dividends is that a bank holding company should not declare or pay a cash dividend which would impose undue pressure on the capital of its subsidiary banks or would be funded only through borrowing or other arrangements that might adversely affect a bank holding company’s financial position. The Federal Reserve Board believes that a bank holding company should not initiate or continue cash dividends on its common stock unless its net income is sufficient to fully fund each dividend and its prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent with its capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition.
CIB Marine’s ability to pay any dividends to its shareholders depends in large part on the ability of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks to pay it dividends. Federal law prohibits the payment of any dividends that would cause a bank to become undercapitalized. The ability of state chartered commercial banks to pay dividends is also subject to restrictions primarily under the banking laws of the state
15
under which the bank is organized. In the case of CIB Marine’s state chartered banks, the laws of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin are applicable. The ability of Marine FSB to pay dividends is subject to OTS regulations applicable to federal savings banks. The ability of Citrus Bank to pay dividends is subject to OCC regulations applicable to national banks. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board and the bank’s regulators have the authority to prohibit CIB Marine and its subsidiary banks from paying dividends, depending upon CIB Marine’s and the banks’ financial condition, if such payment is deemed to constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.
During 2004, CIB Marine was paid $7.2 million in dividends from its subsidiaries; including $4.0 million in dividends from its bank subsidiaries, $0.9 million in dividends from its mortgage banking subsidiary, $1.7 million in dividends from its information technology subsidiary and $0.6 million from MICR, a company held for disposal.
Federal Deposit Insurance
As FDIC-insured institutions, each of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks are required to pay deposit insurance premiums based on the risk each poses to the FDIC insurance funds. The FDIC has the authority to raise or lower assessment rates on insured deposits in order to achieve certain designated reserve ratios in the insurance funds and to impose special additional assessments. The FDIC has adopted a premium rate schedule, which provides for an assessment range of 0% to 0.27% of domestic deposits, depending on the capital category and supervisory category to which it is assigned. The FDIC may increase or decrease the assessment rate schedule on a semi-annual basis. The FDIC is also authorized to terminate an institution’s deposit insurance upon a finding by the FDIC that the institution’s financial condition is unsafe or unsound or that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or has violated any applicable rule, regulation, order or condition enacted or imposed by the institution’s regulatory agency. The termination of deposit insurance for CIB Marine’s banks would have a material adverse effect on CIB Marine. In addition to its insurance assessment, each insured institution is subject to quarterly debt service assessments in connection with bonds issued by the government corporation that financed the federal savings and loan bailout.
Restrictions on Affiliate Transactions
Transactions between CIB Marine, its subsidiary banks and its nonbank subsidiaries are subject to a number of restrictions. Federal law imposes restrictions and limitations on CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks from making extensions of credit to, or the issuance of a guarantee or letter of credit on behalf of, CIB Marine or other affiliates, the purchase of, or investment in, stock or other securities thereof, the taking of such securities as collateral for loans, and the purchase of assets of CIB Marine or other affiliates. Such restrictions and limitations prevent CIB Marine or other affiliates from borrowing from the subsidiary banks unless the loans are secured by marketable obligations of designated amounts. Further, such secured loans and investments by the subsidiary banks to or in CIB Marine or to or in any other affiliate are limited, individually, to 10% of the respective subsidiary bank’s capital, allowance for loan losses and surplus, and such secured loans are limited in the aggregate to 20% of the respective subsidiary bank’s capital, allowance for loan losses and surplus. All such transactions must be on terms that are no less favorable to the bank subsidiary than those that would be available from nonaffiliated third parties. Moreover, some state banking laws, like those in Illinois, impose restrictions on affiliate transactions similar to those imposed by federal law. Certain of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks have engaged in transactions with affiliates, including the making of loans to purchase CIB Marine stock. In connection with the Cease and Desist Orders issued against CIB Marine’s bank subsidiaries (see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Regulatory Matters”), CIB Marine’s two Illinois bank subsidiaries were cited by bank regulators for failure to comply with federal restrictions (and CIB – Chicago also was cited for failure to comply with the Illinois restrictions) on transactions with affiliates relating to lending transactions involving the stock of CIB Marine. Federal Reserve Board policies also forbid the payment by bank subsidiaries of management fees which are unreasonable in amount or exceed the fair market value of the services rendered or, if no market exists, actual costs plus a reasonable profit.
At December 31, 2004 CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks had $2.8 million in outstanding principal balances on loans secured or partially secured by CIB Marine stock. Specific reserves on these loans were $0.3 million. While these loans were secured by CIB Marine stock, the borrowers did not use the proceeds to acquire the stock.
The restrictions on loans to directors, executive officers, principal stockholders and their related interests (collectively referred to herein as “insiders”) contained in the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O apply to all federally insured institutions. These restrictions include limits on loans to one borrower and conditions that must be met before such a loan can be made. There is also an aggregate limitation on all loans to insiders and their related interests. These loans cannot exceed the institution’s total unimpaired capital and surplus, and the FDIC may determine that a lesser amount is appropriate. Insiders are subject to enforcement actions for knowingly accepting loans in violation of applicable restrictions. Regulation O institutions are not subject to the prohibitions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 on certain loans to insiders.
16
Qualified Thrift Lender
The Home Owners’ Loan Act (“HOLA”) requires savings associations such as Marine FSB to meet a qualified thrift lender (“QTL”) test. To meet the QTL test, an association’s “Qualified Thrift Investments” must total at least 65% of “portfolio assets.” Under OTS regulations, portfolio assets are defined as total assets less intangibles, property used by a savings association in its business and liquid investments in an amount not exceeding 20% of assets. Qualified Thrift Investments generally consist of residential housing, small business, credit card and educational loans, and loans for personal, family and household purposes. A savings association that does not meet the QTL test must either convert to a bank charter or comply with the following restrictions on its operations:
| • | | the association may not engage in any new activity or make any new investment, directly or indirectly, unless such activity or investment is permissible for a national bank; |
|
| • | | the branching powers of the association shall be restricted to those of a national bank; |
|
| • | | the institution shall not be eligible to obtain any advances from its FHLB; and |
|
| • | | payment of dividends by the association shall be subject to the rules regarding payment of dividends by a national bank. |
Upon the expiration of three years from the date the association ceases to be a QTL, it must cease any activity and not retain any investment not permissible for a national bank and immediately repay any outstanding FHLB advances subject to safety and soundness considerations.
Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending
CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks are subject to the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) and various fair lending requirements and reporting obligations. The CRA generally requires federal banking agencies to evaluate whether financial institutions are meeting the credit needs of its local communities, including low-and moderate-income neighborhoods and to rate such institutions and publicly disclose such ratings. State and federal agencies also examine financial institutions compliance with fair lending laws. A bank may be subject to substantial penalties and corrective measures for a violation of certain fair lending laws. Federal banking agencies are also authorized to take compliance with such laws and a bank’s CRA rating into consideration when regulating and supervising other activities of a bank holding company and its banks, including expansionary activities. As of the date of its most recent examination, each of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks had a CRA rating of at least satisfactory.
Compliance with Consumer Protection Laws
CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks are subject to many federal consumer protection statutes and regulations including the CRA, Truth in Lending Act, Truth in Savings Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Housing Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. Among other things, these acts:
| • | | require banks to meet the credit needs of their communities; |
|
| • | | require banks to disclose credit terms in meaningful and consistent ways; |
|
| • | | prohibit discrimination against an applicant in any consumer or business credit transaction; |
|
| • | | prohibit discrimination in housing-related lending activities; |
|
| • | | require banks to collect and report applicant and borrower data regarding loans for home purchases or improvement projects; |
|
| • | | require lenders to provide borrowers with information regarding the nature and cost of real estate settlements; |
|
| • | | prohibit certain lending practices and limit escrow account amounts with respect to real estate transactions; and |
|
| • | | prescribe possible penalties for violations of the requirements of consumer protection statutes and regulations. |
USA Patriot Act of 2001
The USA Patriot Act of 2001 and its implementing regulations (“Patriot Act”) were enacted and implemented for the purpose of strengthening the ability of the U.S. Government to intercept and obstruct terrorism by, among others, increasing the power of the U.S. government to obtain access to information and to investigate a broad range of criminal activities. The Patriot Act expanded the definition of money laundering to include terrorism, terrorism support and foreign corruption, and increases the civil and criminal penalties for money laundering offenses. The Patriot Act further applies certain anti-money laundering measures to United States bank accounts of foreign persons; prohibits financial institutions from establishing, maintaining, administering or managing a correspondent account with a foreign shell bank; provides for certain forfeitures of funds deposited in United States interbank accounts by foreign banks; provides the Department of Treasury with regulatory authority to ensure that certain accounts are not used to hide the identity of customers transferring funds and to impose additional reporting requirements with respect to money laundering activities; provides standards for verifying customer identification at account opening; and sets forth rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering. The
17
potential impact of the Patriot Act on financial institutions of all kinds is significant and wide ranging. Regulatory authorities have increased compliance monitoring activities and have levied significant fines and sanctions on many firms in the financial industry. No fines or sanctions have been levied on CIB Marine.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes”) addresses corporate governance and accounting oversight matters. Sarbanes requires the creation of a five member oversight board appointed by the SEC that is to set standards for accountants and have investigative and disciplinary powers; prohibits accounting firms from providing various forms of service to public audit clients, such as certain consulting services; requires accounting firms to rotate partners working with public clients every five years; expands disclosure of corporate operations and internal controls; requires certification of financial statements by the CEO and the Chief Financial Officer of public companies; increases penalties and forfeitures for financial crimes or failing to report events having a material affect on the financial statements or operations of a public company; and enhances controls on and reporting of insider trading. As CIB Marine is a non-accelerated filer, it is not subject to the internal control requirements of Section 404 of Sarbanes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
1934 Exchange Act
CIB Marine’s stock is registered with the SEC. Under the Exchange Act, CIB Marine is subject to the information, reporting, proxy solicitation, insider trading, corporate governance and other requirements and restrictions of the Exchange Act.
Future Legislation
Various legislation is from time to time introduced in Congress and state legislatures with respect to the regulation of financial institutions. Such legislation may change the banking statutes and the operating environment of CIB Marine and its banking subsidiaries in substantial and unpredictable ways. CIB Marine cannot determine the ultimate effect that potential legislation, or implementing regulations, if enacted, would have upon the financial condition or results of operations of CIB Marine or its banking subsidiaries.
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
CIB Marine files various reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The reports include the annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”).

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Material pending litigation, other than that of a routine nature in the ordinary course of business, is as follows:
In August 2003, Keith Burchett, a shareholder of CIB Marine and a borrower of CIB – Chicago, commenced an action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, against CIB Marine, Central Illinois Bank, CIB – Chicago and two of their now former directors and/or officers for damages arising out of alleged fraudulent misrepresentations relative to the financial condition of Canron and its principal shareholder by defendants to induce the plaintiff to borrow money from CIB – Chicago and make a $0.5 million investment in Canron. Plaintiff asserts claims for fraud and shareholder remedies. The shareholder remedies action alleges the defendants’ violations of lending regulations caused a decline in the plaintiff’s investment in CIB Marine. Plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages, requests an order requiring CIB Marine and the banks to repurchase his CIB Marine shares of stock at fair value, and other forms of relief. While the outcome of these claims cannot be determined at this time, CIB Marine intends to vigorously defend this action. Central Illinois Bank has been removed as a defendant in subsequent amended complaints filed by the plaintiff. On November 30, 2004, CIB Marine sold CIB – Chicago.
In June 2004, Central Illinois Bank commenced an action in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit, Champaign County, Illinois, against John C. Hadley and Mary Lydia Hadley, CIB Marine’s largest individual shareholders, for damages arising out of the Hadleys’ default in December 2003 of certain loan obligations (the “State Litigation”) and subsequently obtained a confession of judgment. The loans approximate $9.7 million plus interest and attorneys fees and are secured by CIB Marine stock and the accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other personal property of the borrowers and their restaurant supply and coin businesses. In December 2004, the Hadleys consented to the entry of an order for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of Illinois (the “Bankruptcy Case”). The claims and counterclaims filed in the State Litigation have been stayed. On January 30, 2006, Central Illinois Bank filed an adversary proceeding in the bankruptcy case seeking a determination that Central Illinois Bank’s claim against the Hadleys is not dischargeable. On March 13, 2006, the Hadleys filed a counterclaim against Central Illinois Bank in the dischargeability adversary proceeding that sought to recover $35.0 million in actual damages and punitive damages for the alleged loss or substitution by Central Illinois Bank of certain rare coins and collectibles which the Hadleys alleged were pledged to the bank as collateral, sought to recover certain alleged preferential transfers and sought to equitably subordinate the bank’s claim to those of unsecured creditors. Central Illinois Bank filed an answer to the counterclaim denying the material allegations of the Hadleys. Following a hearing on November 15, 2006, the court in the Bankruptcy Case entered an order on November 27, 2006, conditionally approving the settlement agreement between Central Illinois Bank and the Hadleys that provides for dismissal of the adversary complaint and counterclaims with prejudice and without admitting any fault or liability; the exchange of mutual general releases of claims among the Hadleys, Central Illinois Bank and its parent and affiliated corporations; preserving only the Hadleys’ claims as members of a putative plaintiff class in an action currently pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin entitledDennis Lewis, et al. v. CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc., et al., Case No. 05-C-1008 or as individual plaintiffs in an “opt out” action against some or all of the same parties alleging substantially the same claims; the discharge, waiver, release or assignment by Central Illinois Bank to the Hadleys’ bankruptcy estate, at the Hadleys’ option, of the bank’s proof of claim; the return by Central Illinois Bank to the Hadleys’ bankruptcy estate of all collateral security and the payment by Central Illinois Bank of $1.75 million. The order approving the settlement is subject to the condition that the Hadleys advise the Bankruptcy Court that they have verified certain representations and warranties set forth in the settlement agreement during the 30-day period prescribed in the order. The settlement is subject to approval of the Central Illinois Bank’s regulators.
20
In June 2004, John C. Ruedi, a former employee of CIB Marine, filed an action against CIB Marine and “Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc.” in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial District, Champaign County, Illinois for rescission or damages, including punitive damages, in connection with plaintiff’s October 1, 2002 exercise of options issued by CIB Marine to acquire 36,688 shares of CIB Marine common stock at various exercise prices. Plaintiff claims that but for CIB Marine’s and Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc.’s alleged fraudulent concealment of material facts regarding the financial condition of CIB Marine he would not have exercised his options. Plaintiff also seeks to recover from Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc. and CIB Marine in excess of $40,000 allegedly due Plaintiff pursuant to a purported memorandum providing for the payment of an incentive to Plaintiff in connection with his employment. In March 2005, Plaintiff amended his complaint to add the former President and CEO of CIB Marine as a defendant based upon claims of alleged fraudulent concealment. (Claims filed in the action against KPMG LLP and a partner of KPMG were voluntarily dismissed by the Plaintiff.) CIB Marine filed a motion to dismiss several of Plaintiff’s claims and answered the others denying liability. That motion to dismiss was denied and CIB Marine answered the remaining counts against it, denying liability. Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment seeking recovery of $40,000 from CIB Marine on his incentive payment claim. This motion was denied. All discovery has been stayed in this action by an order of the federal court in the Dennis Lewis case described later in this section, with the result that this suit is currently dormant. Plaintiff has filed a motion in the Lewis case to vacate the discovery stay in this case. No date has been set for a ruling on that motion, which CIB Marine and the other defendants in the Lewis case opposed. While the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot be determined at this time, CIB Marine intends to vigorously defend the action.
On June 3, 2005, a first consolidated complaint was filed by Dennis Lewis, a shareholder, and other alleged shareholders of CIB Marine in the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois, Urbana Division, against CIB Marine, certain of its current and former officers and directors, and KPMG LLP. The filing consolidated two actions that had been filed in January 2005: one filed by Lewis in the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois, Urbana Division and another filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois, Peoria Division by Elaine Sollberger, a purported shareholder, whose claims were voluntarily dismissed in connection with the consolidation, and have not been reasserted in the consolidated complaint. Plaintiffs sought to maintain the action as a class action on behalf of all persons who purchased common stock of CIB Marine between April 12, 1999, and April 12, 2004, claiming violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder by CIB Marine and other defendants and liability of certain defendants other than CIB Marine and KPMG under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act as controlling persons. The substance of the complaint is that the financial condition of CIB Marine was overstated with the result that members of the purported class acquired their CIB Marine stock at inflated prices. Plaintiffs seek money damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and costs. The federal court in Urbana, Illinois granted the motion of CIB Marine and several other defendants to transfer the action to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, sitting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the action is now pending.
All defendants moved to dismiss the action on various grounds. On October 12, 2006 the court denied CIB Marine’s motion to dismiss, granted in part the motions to dismiss filed by the individual defendants and granted the motion to dismiss filed by KPMG. CIB Marine and the individual defendants have filed answers to the pending complaint denying any liability. An additional person has moved to intervene as a plaintiff in the action. On November 10, 2006, plaintiffs filed a further amended complaint as to KPMG, which KPMG has stated it intends to move to dismiss. As a result of the filing of the initial motions to dismiss, all discovery in this action was stayed automatically. Plaintiffs have moved to vacate that stay of discovery, which all defendants opposed based on KPMG’s pending motion to dismiss the further amended complaint filed by plaintiffs against KPMG. The court has not set a date to rule on the motion to vacate the stay of discovery. CIB Marine intends to vigorously contest certification of any class action and to otherwise vigorously defend this action. The ultimate outcome of this action cannot be determined at this time.
In April 2005, James Fasano and Thomas Arundel, shareholders of CIB Marine and borrowers of CIB – Chicago, commenced an action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, against CIB Marine, CIB – Chicago and two of their now former directors and/or officers for damages arising out of alleged fraudulent misrepresentations relative to the financial condition of Canron and its principal shareholder to induce the plaintiffs to borrow $0.5 million from CIB – Chicago and invest it in Canron. Plaintiffs assert claims for fraud and shareholder remedies. The shareholder remedies action alleges the defendants’ violations of lending regulations caused a decline in the plaintiffs’ investment in CIB Marine. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages, request an order requiring CIB Marine and the bank to repurchase their CIB Marine shares of stock at fair value, and other forms of relief. While the outcome of these claims cannot be determined at this time, CIB Marine intends to vigorously defend this action. On November 30, 2004, CIB Marine sold CIB – Chicago.

In December 2003, CIB – Chicago acquired the title to a commercial office building that was being converted into residential condominiums. The property was acquired through a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure Settlement Agreement (“DIL Agreement”) from a borrower who was in default on its obligation. The property was included in foreclosed properties at December 31, 2003. Pursuant to the DIL Agreement, CIB – Chicago acquired the property subject to the first lien held by an outside financial institution and assumed the borrower’s financial obligation relating to that first lien. At December 31, 2003, the assumed financial obligation was reported as an outstanding non-recourse mortgage note payable. During the second quarter of 2004, CIB – Chicago transferred all of its rights, title and interest in the property, along with the borrower’s obligation under the related mortgage note, to the first lien holder. CIB – Chicago transferred the property based upon its evaluation that the amount of additional funds necessary to complete the project was greater than the financial benefits and risks associated therewith. The property was transferred without any further liability or obligation to the first lien position holder and CIB – Chicago reserved its legal rights to pursue the borrower and guarantors. The transfer to the first lien holder resulted in no additional gain or loss to CIB Marine. During 2003, CIB Marine charged-off $41.7 million of the loan to its allowance for loan losses with respect to this borrowing relationship and also recorded a $1.5 million market value write down on the property. In July 2004, CIB – Chicago commenced litigation in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, against the borrower, guarantors and their related interests for collection of the losses incurred by CIB Marine based upon state law claims of breach of agreements, fraud, conversion and other theories of recovery, including Federal RICO violations. In November 2004, CIB – Chicago assigned the loans and claims related to this development to CIB Marine in conjunction with the sale of CIB – Chicago. In April 2005, the United States District Court dismissed the RICO claim and, as a result, lacked jurisdiction over the state law claims. In April 2005, CIB Marine commenced an action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, against the defendants on the state law claims. In the event that there are any recoveries with respect to these loans and claims, CIB Marine has agreed to pay the purchaser of CIB – Chicago ten percent of any recovery after collection costs. To date, CIB Marine has not made any recoveries with respect to such loans and claims.
On April 20, 2006, Mark A. Sindecuse filed an action in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division (St. Louis) against CIB Marine, Dean M. Katsaros (“Katsaros”), a former director of the Company, and Katsaros & Associates, Inc. The complaint purports to assert common law causes of action against CIB Marine for fraud and negligent misrepresentation in connection with plaintiff’s purchases of common stock of CIB Marine in private placements in 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998. Additional claims are asserted against the other defendants. Plaintiff seeks compensatory damages of an out-of-pocket loss of “over $500,000 plus interest on his loans and loss of use of his money” and the plaintiff seeks damages of approximately $2,000,000 for “the difference between the value when [plaintiff] attempted to sell his stock and its present value.” Plaintiff also seeks unspecified punitive damages. CIB Marine and Katsaros have filed motions to dismiss the complaint. The court has set a schedule for this case that provides for trial to commence on October 15, 2007. CIB Marine intends to defend the action vigorously.
CIB Marine and the individual defendants in the Ruedi, Burchett, Fasano/Arundel and Lewis cases described above, are insureds under a policy that on its face purports to provide coverage for those cases, including the costs of defense (payment of which by the insured reduces the remaining coverage under the policy), which include attorneys’ fees. With respect to the Ruedi and Lewis cases the insurer has reserved all rights and notified CIB Marine and the other insureds of potential grounds to deny coverage. After CIB Marine exhausted the retention under that policy, the insurer paid substantially all of the costs of defense of CIB Marine and the individual defendants in the Ruedi and Lewis cases through February 17, 2006 subject to its reservation of rights to seek reimbursement. On that date the insurer informed the insureds of its intention to terminate any further funding of the costs of defense. Negotiations ensued and CIB Marine has reached an agreement in principle with the insurer, which has not yet been reduced to a binding written agreement, providing that the insurer will pay 35% of the costs of defense of the Ruedi and Lewis cases incurred by CIB Marine and the individual defendants and CIB Marine will pay the remaining 65% of those reasonable costs subject to its reservation of rights to seek reimbursement. With respect to the individual defendants, the payment of these defense costs by CIB Marine is pursuant to the provision of its by-laws that mandates advancing defense costs of directors and officers under certain circumstances. The advances to individuals are subject to repayment by the individual defendants if it is ultimately determined, as provided in the by-laws and applicable Wisconsin law, that they are not entitled to be indemnified. The agreement in principle with the insurer provides that either CIB Marine or the insurer can terminate the funding arrangement under certain circumstances. In the event of termination, CIB Marine would be responsible for all of the reasonable costs of defense of CIB Marine and the individual defendants in the Ruedi and Lewis cases. Defense costs in the other cases submitted for coverage continue to be paid by the insurer subject to the insurer’s reservation of rights under the policy. CIB Marine is not advancing the defense costs of any individual defendant in any of the other cases referred to above except that it is advancing the defense costs of defendant Katsaros in the Sindecuse case pursuant to the mandatory advancement by-law described in this paragraph.
It is not possible to estimate the amount or timing of the defense costs that will be paid by CIB Marine from and after February 17, 2006 in the Ruedi and Lewis cases or in the other cases described above. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those described in the preceding forward-looking statement and affect the amount and timing of the expenses referred to with respect to the Ruedi and Lewis cases: (1) the federal court’s decision on whether to vacate the existing stays of discovery and, if one or both stays are vacated, the scope of discovery that is allowed by the court and/or requested by the plaintiffs; (2) the extent, if any, to which the Lewis case is allowed to proceed as a class action; (3) the scope of discovery pursued
22
by the plaintiffs (and the timing and substance of the court’s rulings on any objections thereto by defendants) when discovery proceeds irrespective of the existing stays of discovery; (4) whether plaintiffs are able to state a cause of action against KPMG and, if so, what actions KPMG takes in defense of the claim against it; (5) the extent to which CIB Marine and the individual defendants and their respective counsel are able to coordinate their defense of the action and in particular minimize duplication of activities in defense of the case; (6) if the funding arrangement is finally agreed to by CIB Marine, the individual defendants and the insurer, the insurer’s determinations of what services and costs are reasonable and appropriate under the insurer’s guidelines for paying the costs of defense; (7) CIB Marine’s determination of what costs of defense are “reasonable” within the meaning of its by-laws and any claims made by individual defendants whose costs of defense may be rejected in whole or in part on that ground; (8) the occurrence of circumstances that would lead either CIB Marine or the insurer to terminate the funding arrangement described above if in fact a definitive agreement is entered into; and (9) the extent to which any individual defendant whose costs of defense are advanced by CIB Marine is ultimately required to repay those costs and, if so, the ability of that person to make repayment.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
CIB Marine did not submit any matters to a vote of its shareholders during the quarter ended December 31, 2004.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
There is no established public trading market for CIB Marine’s common stock. As of November 30, 2006, there were approximately 1,428 holders of record of CIB Marine’s common stock.
CIB Marine has not paid cash dividends on its common stock. As a result of recent losses, CIB Marine does not currently have any intentions to pay a cash dividend. Further, CIB Marine is restricted by the regulators from paying cash dividends. Restrictions on CIB Marine’s ability to pay dividends and the ability of its subsidiaries to transfer funds to it for the payment of dividends are discussed under Item 1, “Business – Supervision and Regulation – Dividend Restrictions” and also the stockholders’ equity note to the consolidated financial statements. CIB Marine will periodically evaluate its financial position to determine whether to pay cash dividends in the future.
The following table shows certain information relating to CIB Marine’s acquisitions of common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2004. All acquisitions were made pursuant to CIB Marine’s collection efforts:

(1) | | Noninterest income includes pretax gains on investment securities of $3.1 million, $4.0 million and $0.03 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. There were no pretax gains on investment securities in 2004 and 2003. |
|
(2) | | Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, to average interest-earning assets. For the years 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 the effective tax rate used to calculate the tax-equivalent basis was 35%. Beginning in 2004, CIB Marine does not expect to realize all the tax benefits associated with tax-exempt assets due to the substantial losses incurred in 2004, and as of December 31, 2004, no US federal or state loss carryback potential remains. Accordingly, the 2004 interest income on tax-exempt earning assets has not been adjusted to reflect the tax-equivalent basis. If 2004 had been shown on a tax equivalent basis of 35%, the net interest margin would have been 2.28%. |
|
(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) | | Return on average assets is net income divided by average total assets.
|
|
(7) | | Return on average equity is net income divided by average common equity. |
|
(8) | | Does not include the employees of Canron and MICR which are companies held for disposal. These companies had full-time equivalent employees of 37 in 2004, 49 in 2003, 914 in 2002, 40 in 2001 and 42 in 2000. |
|

(2) | | Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, to average interest-earning assets. For the years 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000 the effective tax rate used to calculate the tax-equivalent basis was 35%. Beginning in 2004, CIB Marine does not expect to realize all the tax benefits associated with tax-exempt assets due to the substantial losses incurred in 2004, and as of December 31, 2004 no US federal or state loss carryback potential remains. Accordingly, the 2004 interest income on tax-exempt earning assets has not been adjusted to reflect the tax-equivalent basis. If 2004 had been shown on a tax-equivalent basis of 35%, the net interest margin would have been 2.29%. |

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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 management’s most 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. See also Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Allowance for Loan Losses
CIB Marine monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. 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 they are maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“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 loans individually for impairment as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 114,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,and SFAS No. 118,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan — Income Recognition and Disclosures.Loans evaluated individually for impairment include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, restructured loans and other loans selected by management. The evaluations are based upon discounted expected cash flows from the loan or collateral valuations and all other known relevant information. If the evaluation shows that a loan is individually impaired, then a specific reserve is established for the amount of impairment. Loans, including all residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans which are not evaluated individually are assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies(“SFAS 5”) with groups of loans that have similar characteristics.
26
For loans which are not individually evaluated, CIB Marine makes estimates of losses for groups of loans as required by SFAS 5. Loans are grouped by similar characteristics, including the type of loan, the assigned loan 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 is added together for a total estimate of loan losses. This estimate of losses is compared to the allowance for loan losses of CIB Marine as of the evaluation date, and if the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be made. If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the estimate is evaluated to determine whether the allowance falls outside of a range of estimates. If the estimate of losses is below the range of reasonable estimates, the allowance would be reduced by way of a credit to the provision for loan losses. CIB Marine recognizes the inherent imprecision in estimates of losses due to various uncertainties and variability related to the factors used, and therefore a reasonable range around the estimate of losses is derived and used to ascertain whether the allowance is too high. 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 would be made, which amount may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
During 2003, CIB Marine’s policies and procedures over the determination of the allowance for loan losses were not effective.
| a) | | CIB Marine’s policies and procedures to identify credit downgrades on a timely basis and establish suitable loan workout plans were not effectively followed; |
|
| b) | | CIB Marine lacked adequate credit procedures to analyze borrowers’ global cash flow; and |
|
| c) | | CIB Marine lacked adequate procedures to monitor loan collateral and valuation on collateral dependent loans. |
As a result of these internal control deficiencies, pertinent information was not identified, captured and communicated in a form and timeframe that enabled CIB Marine to analyze the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. Consequently, CIB Marine’s allowance for loan losses was materially understated in previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. These consolidated financial statements were restated in the 2003 Form 10-K. During 2004, CIB Marine took action to remediate these internal control deficiencies. See Item 9A-Controls and Procedures in Part II of this Form 10-K for further information.
Other Investments
Investments in limited partnerships and other equity investments which are not readily marketable are accounted for using the equity method when CIB Marine’s ownership is at least 3% in a limited partnership and 20% in a corporation, but less than 51%. Investments not accounted for under the equity method are accounted for using the cost method. All other investments are periodically evaluated for impairments. If an investment is impaired, a loss is recognized. To determine whether an investment is impaired, CIB Marine looks to various indicators including recent transactions, if any, and the investee’s financial condition. During 2004, CIB Marine recognized $0.7 million of impairment losses on other investments. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the carrying value of these investments may need to be further reduced and a loss recorded. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, other investments totaled $3.3 million and $9.6 million, respectively, all of which are illiquid.
Assets of Companies Held for Sale or Disposal
Companies, and/or the operations of companies, which have met the accounting criteria of held for sale or disposal are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value less estimated selling costs. The valuations of such businesses are allocated to the assets and liabilities of the businesses. The asset groups are then periodically evaluated for impairment as required under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 144, based upon the estimated undiscounted cash flows of the asset group. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows of the asset group are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset group, then the fair value of the asset group is determined using a discounted cash flow approach. If the fair value of the asset group is less than the carrying amount, a loss is recognized. Should future estimated cash flows be reduced or if applicable discount rates increase, then the carrying value of the asset groups may need to be reduced and a loss recorded. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, CIB Marine had two companies classified as held for sale/disposal, MICR, which had a carrying value of $1.8 million and $4.0 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively and CIB Construction which had a carrying value of $2.6 million and $7.7 million for the respective years. Additionally, at December 31, 2004 the remaining net liabilities of Mortgage Services, Inc were included in assets/liabilities of companies held for sale/disposal. In the third quarter of 2004, CIB Marine sold substantially all the assets and operations of MSI. CIB Marine is in the process of winding down the remaining affairs of this company and has incurred certain liabilities with respect to the
27
operations of the mortgage company. These liabilities totaling $1.8 million at December 31, 2004 include repurchase obligations relative to certain mortgage loans as a result of external fraud and/or documentation issues, and certain reporting penalties.
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 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.
CIB Marine has entered into tax allocation agreements with its subsidiary entities included in the consolidated US federal and unitary and combined state income tax returns, including US operations of companies held for sale or disposal. These agreements govern the timing and amount of income tax payments required by the various entities.
Due to the significant losses incurred in 2004 and the expectation of additional losses in 2005 and 2006, management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the entire net deferred tax asset of $72.9 million at December 31, 2004, which includes the entire net deferred tax asset of companies held for sale or disposal of $8.8 million, will be realized. Therefore, a valuation allowance of $72.8 million has been established, including $8.7 million for companies held for sale or disposal.
INTRODUCTION
The following is a discussion and analysis of CIB Marine’s consolidated financial condition as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and its changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. References in the discussion below to “CIB Marine” include CIB Marine’s subsidiaries unless otherwise specified. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in Item 8 of this Form 10K.
OVERVIEW
CIB Marine had a net loss of $17.3 million in 2004, a net loss of $137.6 million in 2003 and net income of $8.8 million in 2002. Total assets at December 31, 2004 were $1.4 billion, representing a 56.5% decrease from total assets of $3.2 billion at December 31, 2003.
In 2003, CIB Marine commenced a comprehensive review of the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses. This review resulted from regular examinations at certain of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks by banking regulators and a deterioration in the credit quality of the loan portfolio, including a significant increase in nonperforming loans. External resources were employed to assist in the review of the loan portfolio and to investigate other loan related matters. As a result of CIB Marine’s review process, CIB Marine increased its allowance for loan losses in 2003 and also recognized an impairment loss of all goodwill relating to certain of its bank subsidiaries. These losses, and the related tax effects, significantly contributed to the net losses for 2003. In order to improve the financial strength of CIB Marine, including its liquidity and capital, CIB Marine directed its focus beginning in 2003 to improving the credit quality of its loan portfolio and enhancing its lending, credit and management culture.
During 2004, CIB Marine explored a number of alternatives to improve capital and strengthen the organization. On November 30, 2004, CIB Marine sold CIB – Chicago to an unrelated banking organization at a gain of $15.6 million. A portion of the proceeds were used to pay off CIB Marine’s outstanding balance on its line of credit and infuse capital into Central Illinois Bank, allowing the bank to meet its regulatory capital requirements. As a result of this sale, CIB Marine’s total assets at December 31, 2004 were significantly less than total assets at December 31, 2003 which included approximately $1.5 billion in assets at CIB – Chicago. During 2004, CIB Marine also sold MSI and Commercial Finance at a combined net loss of approximately $0.5 million and commenced the wind down of certain other nonbank subsidiaries in order to more narrowly focus its resources on its core commercial and retail banking strategies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion relates to continuing operations unless otherwise noted.
Net Income
CIB Marine’s net loss was $17.3 million in 2004, which consisted of a $29.5 million net loss from continuing operations and a $12.2 million net income from discontinued operations, as compared to a net loss of $137.6 million in 2003, which consisted of a $49.8 million net loss from continuing operations and a $87.8 million net loss from discontinued operations. The $20.3 million decrease in loss from continuing operations was primarily attributable to a $33.1 million decrease in the provision for credit losses and a $7.1 million decrease in income tax expense, partially offset by a $17.4 million decrease in net interest income. The results from discontinued operations are comprised of impairment losses on assets held for disposal, net gains and losses on sales of assets held for disposal during 2004 and the consolidated operating results of MSI and CIB – Chicago, including its subsidiaries CIB Construction and Commercial Finance. The $100.0 million increase in income from discontinued operations was driven by a $103.7 million decrease in CIB – Chicago’s provision for credit losses, a net $15.1 million gain on the sale of CIB – Chicago and the sales of the assets of Commercial Finance and MSI, and a $20.6 million decrease in impairment loss on intangibles, assets held for sale and other assets, partially offset by a $25.5 million decrease in net interest income and a $7.5 million increase in income tax expense.
The decreases in the provision for credit losses in 2004 for both continuing and discontinued operations were due to an improvement in the overall quality of the credit portfolio resulting from actions CIB Marine took during the second half of 2003 and during 2004.
CIB Marine’s net loss was $137.6 million for 2003 which is comprised of a $49.8 million net loss from continuing operations and a $87.8 million net loss from discontinued operations as compared to net income of $8.8 million in 2002 which is comprised of a $2.4 million net loss from continuing operations and a $11.2 million net income from discontinued operations. The $47.4 million increase in loss from continuing operations was driven by a $31.4 million increase in provision for credit losses, an $8.7 million increase in noninterest expense and a $6.1 million increase in income tax expense. The 2003 increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to $2.0 million of impairment losses on goodwill, a $3.2 million increase in losses related to the impairment and sale of equity investments and foreclosed properties, and a $3.9 million increase in compensation.
The $99.0 million increase in loss from discontinued operations was driven by an $82.7 million increase in provision for credit losses, a $2.6 million decrease in net interest income and a $24.7 million increase in noninterest expense, net of noninterest income, partially offset by a $10.0 million decrease in income taxes. The net $24.7 million increase in noninterest expense, net of noninterest income was primarily due to $12.4 million impairment loss on goodwill and other intangibles, a $2.1 million loss on foreclosed properties, a $4.7 million impairment loss on assets held for disposal at December 31, 2003 and a $2.8 million increase in collection and foreclosed property expenses.
The increase in the provision for credit losses in 2003 for both continuing operations and discontinued operations was the result of an increase in the net loan charge-offs and additional provisions as a result of the deterioration in the quality of the loan portfolio, including an increase in the level of nonperforming loans.
The effective tax (benefit) expense rate from continuing operations for 2004 was (14.1)% as compared to 4.8% for 2003 and (61.1)% for 2002. The 2004 change in the effective tax rate was mainly due to a provision for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Due to the significant losses in 2004 and the expectation of additional losses in 2005 and 2006, CIB Marine determined that it was not more likely than not that the entire net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2004 would be realized. Therefore, in 2004, an additional valuation allowance of $9.3 million, related to continuing operations, was provided by way of a charge to tax expense to reduce the net deferred tax assets.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the most significant component of CIB Marine’s earnings. Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits and other borrowed funds. Net interest margin is this difference expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The amount of CIB Marine’s net interest income is affected by several factors, including interest rates and the volume and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Although CIB Marine can control certain of these factors, others, such as the general level of credit demand, fiscal policy and Federal Reserve Board monetary policy, are beyond CIB Marine’s control.

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. For 2003 and 2002, interest income is expressed on a tax-equivalent basis in order to compare the effective yield on earning assets. This means that the interest income on tax-exempt loans and tax-exempt securities has been adjusted to reflect the income tax savings at a federal income tax rate of 35% provided by these tax-exempt assets. Beginning in 2004, CIB Marine does not expect to realize all of the tax benefits associated with these tax-exempt assets due to the substantial losses incurred in 2004. Accordingly, interest income on tax exempt loans and tax exempt securities for 2004 has not been adjusted to reflect the tax equivalent basis. See Note 20-Income Taxes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

(1) | | Tax-equivalent basis of 35% for 2003 and 2002. In the future, CIB Marine may not realize all of the tax benefits associated with these tax-exempt assets due to the substantial losses incurred in 2004, and as of December 31, 2004 no US federal or state loss carryback potential remains. Accordingly, 2004 is not presented on a tax-equivalent basis. If 2004 had been shown on a tax-equivalent basis of 35%, the net interest margin would have been 2.29%. |
|
(2) | | Loan balance totals include nonaccrual loans. |
|
(3) | | Interest earned on loans includes amortized loan fees of $1.5 million, $4.7 million, and $3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. |
|
(4) | | Interest amounts include the effects of derivatives entered into for interest rate risk management and accounted for as fair value hedges. |
|
(5) | | Net interest rate spread is the difference between the average rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. |
|
(6) | | Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, to average interest-earning assets. |
|
(7) | | Excludes average loans of $1.6 million, $5.0 million and $6.2 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, held by CIB-Chicago, which on a consolidated basis are classified as receivables from sale of stock. See Note 13-Stockholders’ Equity in Item 8 of this form 10-K for information on receivables from sale of stock. |
Net interest income from continuing operations for 2004 as compared to the net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for 2003, decreased $18.7 million, or 36.4%, from $51.4 million in 2003 to $32.7 million in 2004. The decrease was mainly due to a $223.4 million decline in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a 102 basis point decrease in the average yield on these assets. The declines in interest-earning assets were partially offset by a decline in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income from continuing operations, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased $0.7 million, or 1.3%, from $52.1 million in 2002 to $51.4 million in 2003. This decrease was primarily the result of an 84 basis point decline in the yield on average interest-earning assets offset by an increase in the balance of average interest-earning assets and a decline in the average cost of borrowings.
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. Interest income for 2003 is expressed on a tax-equivalent basis.

(1) | | Tax-equivalent basis of 35% for 2003 and 2002. In the future, CIB Marine may not realize all of the tax benefits associated with these tax exempt assets due to the substantial losses incurred in 2004, and as of December 31, 2004, no US federal or state loss carryback potential remains. Accordingly, 2004 is not presented on a tax-equivalent basis. |

(2) | | Variances which were not specifically attributable to volume or rate have been allocated proportionally between volume and rate using absolute values as a basis for the allocation. Nonaccruing loans were included in the average balances used in determining yields. |
Interest Income
Total interest income decreased $28.0 million, or 28.6%, from $98.0 million, on a tax-equivalent basis, in 2003 to $70.0 million in 2004. The decrease was driven by a $223.4 million decline in average balances and a 102 basis point decrease in the average yields earned on interest-earning assets. The decrease in interest income was driven by a $343.8 million decrease in average loan balances and a 68 basis point decrease in average loan yields. The decline in average loan balances was mostly in the commercial and commercial real estate loans and was mainly due to CIB Marine’s shift in focus during the last half of 2003 and into 2004 from business development to improving the asset quality of the portfolio.
Total interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased $5.2 million, or 5.0%, during 2003 from $103.2 million in 2002. The decrease was the result of an 84 basis point reduction in the average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a $136.2 million, or 8.7%, increase in average interest-earning assets. The majority of the decline was in interest income on securities which decreased $3.0 million due to lower yields, partially offset by higher investment balances which were increased to offset liquidity risk. Interest income on loans decreased $2.1 million, or 2.3%, from $89.9 million in 2002 to $87.8 million in 2003, and was driven by a 56 basis point decline in average yield partially offset by a $79.8 million increase in average balances.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense decreased $9.3 million, or 20.0%, from $46.6 million in 2003 to $37.3 million in 2004. This reduction was primarily driven by a $205.0 million decrease in the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities and a 23 basis point decline in the average rate paid on these liabilities. Interest expense on deposits, the largest component of interest-bearing liabilities, decreased $9.7 million, or 24.7%, from $39.4 million in 2003 to $29.7 in 2004, due to a $188.0 million reduction in average deposit balances and a 37 basis point decrease in average deposits yields. Interest expense on time deposits comprised 83.7% or $8.1 million of the overall reduction of interest expense on deposits during 2004 as compared to 2003. The decrease in time deposit interest expense was primarily due the economic rate environment combined with CIB Marine’s liquidity and risk management initiatives in response to reduced interest-earning assets.
Total interest expense decreased $4.5 million, or 8.8%, during 2003 from $51.1 million in 2002. This reduction was primarily the result of a 61 basis point decline in the rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $129.9 million increase in average balances of interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense on deposits, the largest component of interest-bearing liabilities, declined $4.0 million during 2003 from $43.5 million in 2002. The reduction was due to a 62 basis point reduction in the average rates paid, partially offset by a $136.0 million increase in average deposit balances. Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased 6.2% primarily as a result a $6.1 million decrease in the average amount of borrowed funds.

Net Interest Margin/Net Interest Spread
CIB Marine’s net interest spread decreased by 79 basis points and the net interest margin decreased by 81 basis points in 2004 primarily due to a decline in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets. This was the result of the reduction in loans as a percentage of total earning-assets, high levels of nonaccrual loans and holding short-term liquid assets in a steep yield curve environment. To reduce liquidity risk, management increased the percentage of short-term liquid assets to total liabilities. Short-term liquid assets include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, reverse repurchase agreements and investment securities.
CIB Marine’s net interest spread decreased by 23 basis points and the net interest margin decreased by 31 basis points in 2003, primarily the result of the rate earned on interest-earning assets declining more rapidly than the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. This decrease was also the result of increased nonaccrual loans, the interest rate environment and CIB Marine’s liquidity and market risk activities. To reduce liquidity risk, management increased the percentage of shorter term but lower yielding liquid assets to total earning assets, and reduced lower cost, shorter term borrowings while increasing longer life but higher yielding deposits.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses decreased $33.1 million during 2004 as compared to 2003. The decrease is due to a decline in the amount of loans outstanding and actions taken by management to improve the credit quality of its portfolio. During the last half of 2003 and into 2004, CIB Marine focused its resources on improving the quality of its credit portfolio, liquidity and capital.
During 2003, as a result of regular examinations at certain of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks and deterioration in the credit quality of the loan portfolio, including a significant increase in nonperforming loans, CIB Marine significantly increased its provision for credit losses. The provision for credit losses for continuing operations, which represents provision for loan losses and losses on unfunded commitments and standby letters of credit, was $17.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to $50.5 million in 2003 and $19.1 million in 2002. During 2003, the increase in the provision was driven by the deteriorating quality of the credit portfolio including an increase in nonaccrual loans, excluding CIB – Chicago, from $15.8 million as of December 31, 2002 to $52.9 million as of December 31, 2003 and an increase in net charge-offs from $5.4 million in 2002 to $27.9 million in 2003. Additionally, increased loss rate percentages applied in 2003 accounted for a portion of the increase in 2003 as compared to 2002.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income decreased $1.2 million, or 19.8%, from $6.2 million in 2003 to $5.0 million in 2004. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.9 million decrease in equity income of limited partnerships and $0.5 million royalty fees received from third parties in 2003 as compared to none in 2004. During the first quarter of 2004, CIB Marine sold its interest in the limited partnerships at a loss of $0.2 million.
During 2003, noninterest income decreased $0.5 million from $6.7 million in 2002 to $6.2 million in 2003. The decrease was due to a $1.7 million gain on sale of investment securities recognized in 2002. In 2003, CIB Marine did not sell any of its securities portfolio, and as a result, there were no gains on sales recognized. The decrease in gain on sale of investments was partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in equity income of limited partnerships in 2003 as compared to 2002 and $0.5 million royalty income in 2003 as compared to none in 2002.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense increased $1.3 million, or 2.4%, from $53.3 million in 2003, to $54.6 million in 2004. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in professional services and regulatory assessments, partially offset by a decrease in the recognition of impairment and other losses on goodwill and other assets as compared to 2003 and a decrease in compensation and employee benefits expense.
| • | | Professional services increased $3.7 million in 2004 as compared to 2003. In October 2003, a Special Review Committee of the Board of Directors of CIB Marine was established to evaluate credit and other issues which had come to the attention of the Board of Directors. The committee engaged the assistance of outside advisors, including independent legal counsel and an external loan review firm, to conduct an independent investigation of these developments. The investigation was completed in the fourth quarter of 2004 at a cost of approximately $2.3 million. See Item 1 of this Form 10-K for further information on this investigation. In early 2004, the Board of Directors also engaged a consulting firm to investigate various strategic alternatives to strengthen the capital position of the company. Professional services costs related to this process were approximately $0.9 million in 2004. |
34
| • | | FDIC and state assessment expenses increased $1.1 million during 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase was driven by certain of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks being assigned a higher risk assessment classification by the FDIC in 2004 as compared to 2003. The change in risk classification was due to credit issues at certain of these banks as previously noted in the overview discussion. |
|
| • | | In 2004, CIB Marine recognized $2.0 million in losses related to the impairment and sale of other investments, loans and foreclosed properties as compared to $3.2 million in 2003. During 2003, CIB Marine recognized a $1.2 million market value loss relating to the unconsolidated interest CIB Marine has in a closely held information services business as compared to a $0.5 million market value loss on this investment in 2004. In 2003 CIB Marine recognized a $0.7 million impairment loss on interests in limited partnerships which were sold in the first quarter of 2004 at a loss of $0.2 million. Additionally, loss on foreclosed properties declined from $1.2 million in 2003 to $0.6 million in 2004. These decreases in losses were partially offset by a $0.6 million loss on sale of loans in 2004 as compared to none in 2003. |
|
| • | | Compensation and employee benefits expense is the largest component of noninterest expense and represented 52.6% of total noninterest expense for 2004 compared to 58.2% for 2003. Compensation and employee benefits expense decreased $2.3 million or 7.4% from $31.1 million in 2003 to $28.8 million in 2004. The decrease in compensation and benefit expense is primarily due to an overall cost savings program begun by CIB Marine in June 2004. The program included a reduction in force program, restrictions on salaries and hiring, tight expense controls and some executive management salary reductions. The total number of full-time equivalent employees of companies included in continuing operations, excluding MICR, decreased from 590 at December 31, 2003 to 482 at December 31, 2004. The net operating results of MICR, including its compensation expense is included in other noninterest income. Additionally, CIB Marine’s total contribution to its employee 401(k) plan and employee stock ownership plan decreased $0.4 million during 2004 as compared to 2003. In 2003, CIB Marine matched employee contributions to the 401(k) plan up to 1% of compensation and contributed 1% of compensation to the employee stock ownership plan. During 2004, CIB Marine did not make any contributions to its employee stock ownership plan, and during the first quarter of 2004, CIB Marine suspended the matching contribution to the 401(k) plan. In 2005, CIB Marine reinstated and increased the matching contribution to the 401(k) plan up to 3% of compensation. |
Total noninterest expense increased $8.7 million, or 19.6%, from $44.6 million in 2002, to $53.3 million in 2003. The increase was primarily the result of a $2.0 million impairment loss associated with MICR, an increase in compensation and employee benefits expense, and impairment and other losses on other assets. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in litigation settlements.
| • | | Compensation and employee benefits expense is the largest component of noninterest expense and represented 58.2% of total noninterest expense for 2003 compared to 60.9% for 2002. Compensation and employee benefits expense increased $3.9 million, or 14.3%, from $27.2 million in 2002 to $31.1 million in 2003. The increase in compensation and employee benefits is the result of a number of factors, including the hiring of personnel to staff the new banking facilities, the hiring of additional management personnel, and increases in the salaries of existing personnel. The total number of full-time equivalent employees, excluding companies held for disposal, increased 8.5% from 544 at December 31, 2002 to 590 at December 31, 2003. The net operating results of MICR, including its compensation expense, are included in other noninterest income. |
|
| • | | In 2003, CIB Marine recognized $3.2 million in losses related to the impairment and sale of other investments, loans and foreclosed properties as compared to $0.1 million in 2002. The increase was primarily due to $1.7 million market value loss relating to CIB Marine’s interests in a closely held information services business and limited partnerships. There were no impairment losses on these investments during 2002. Additionally, loss on foreclosed properties increased $1.2 million in 2003 as compared to 2002 primarily due to impairment losses recognized on two foreclosed properties. |
|
| • | | Litigation expense decreased $1.7 million from $1.8 million in 2002 to $0.1 million in 2003. The 2002 expense was mainly due to the settlement of two lawsuits related to CIB Marine’s commercial lending business. Professional services increased $0.5 million from $1.8 million in 2002 to $2.3 million 2003 as a result of additional accounting, legal and consulting fees primarily related to the previously mentioned problems in the loan portfolio. |
Pretax Loss from Discontinued Operations
Overview-Discontinued Operations
Income/loss from discontinued operations is comprised of impairment losses on assets held for disposal, gains and losses on sale of assets held for disposal and the consolidated operating results of MSI and CIB – Chicago, including its subsidiaries CIB Construction and Commercial Finance. CIB Marine sold CIB – Chicago in November 2004 at a pretax gain of $15.6 million. In conjunction with the sale of CIB – Chicago, CIB Marine bought at book value CIB Construction and MICR, which were subsidiaries of CIB – Chicago immediately prior to the sale. In the second quarter of 2004, CIB Marine sold substantially all the assets and operations of Commercial Finance at a pretax gain of $0.2 million and in the third quarter sold substantially all the assets and operations of MSI at a $0.7 million
35
loss. Commercial Finance was fully dissolved in November 2004 and CIB Marine is in the process of winding down the remaining affairs of MSI.
Pretax income from discontinued operations was $16.2 million in 2004 compared to a pretax loss of $91.3 million in 2003. The $107.5 million change was primarily the result of a $103.7 million decrease in provision for credit losses, the net $15.1 million gain on sale of net assets held for disposal, a $16.3 million decrease in impairment and other losses on assets held for disposition, goodwill and other intangibles and $1.5 million in gains on the sales of certain properties and equipment and $1.8 million related to the settlement of subordinated debt at a discount at CIB Construction. These amounts were partially offset by a $25.5 million dollar decrease in net interest income.
During 2003, pretax loss of discontinued operations was $91.3 million as compared to a pretax income of $17.7 million in 2002. The $109.0 million change was driven by an $82.7 million increase in provision for credit losses and $17.1 million of impairment losses on assets held for disposition, goodwill and other intangibles and a $2.6 million decrease in net interest income.
Net Interest income-discontinued operations
The following table sets forth information regarding average balances, interest income, or interest expense, and the average rates earned or paid for each major asset and liability for companies included in discontinued operations. For 2003 and 2002, interest income is expressed on a tax-equivalent basis in order to compare the effective yield on earning assets. This means that the interest income on tax-exempt loans and tax-exempt securities has been adjusted to reflect the income tax savings at a federal income tax rate of 35% provided by these tax-exempt assets. Beginning in 2004, CIB Marine does not expect to realize all of the tax benefits associated with these tax-exempt assets due to the substantial losses incurred in 2004. Accordingly, interest income on tax- exempt loans and tax exempt securities for 2004 has not been adjusted to reflect the tax-equivalent basis. See the Income Taxes note to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Net interest income from discontinued operations decreased $26.0 million, or 48.3%, from $53.8 million, on a tax equivalent basis in 2003, to $27.8 million in 2004. The decline was driven by a decrease in the average balance of and rate paid on interest-earning assets. The average balance of interest-earning assets declined $430.9 million and the average yield on these assets declined 98 basis points. The decrease in net interest income was partially offset by a $355.0 million decline in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income from discontinued operations, on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased $2.6 million, or 4.7%, from $56.4 million in 2002 to $53.8 million in 2003. This decrease was primarily the result of an 86 basis point decline in the yield on average interest-earning assets offset by an increase in the balance of average earning assets and a decline in the average cost of borrowings.
Provision for credit losses-discontinued operations
Included in discontinued operations is provision for credit losses which represents provision for loan losses and losses on unfunded commitments and standby letters of credit. The provision included in discontinued operations for 2004 was $6.3 million as compared to $110.1 million in 2003 and $27.4 million in 2002. During 2003, as a result of regular examinations, an increase in net loan charge-
37
offs and the deterioration in the quality of the loan portfolio, including an increase in nonperforming assets from $23.9 million at December 31, 2002 to $136.9 million at December 31, 2003, CIB – Chicago significantly increased its provision for credit losses. During the last half of 2003 and into 2004, CIB – Chicago focused its resources on improving the credit quality of its portfolio. As a result of these actions, and decreasing loan balances, the provision for credit losses included in discontinued operations decreased in 2004 as compared to 2003. CIB – Chicago was sold in November 2004.
The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for loan losses for companies included in discontinued operations for each of the periods indicated.

Impairment losses-discontinued operations
During 2004, discontinued operations included $0.7 million of impairment losses as compared to a $17.1 of impairment losses during 2003. In 2004, CIB Marine recognized a $0.7 million impairment loss on the intangibles of MSI. In 2003, discontinued operations included $4.7 million of impairment losses relating to CIB Construction including its subsidiary Canron and $12.4 million of impairment losses related to goodwill and other intangibles. During 2003, goodwill of $8.7 million, representing the unamortized balance related to the acquisition of CIB – Chicago, and goodwill of $3.5 million associated with the acquisition of Commercial Finance was considered impaired and an impairment loss was recognized. Additionally in 2003, CIB Marine recognized a $0.2 million impairment loss on customer-based intangibles of Commercial Finance.
Income Taxes
CIB Marine provides for income taxes currently payable or currently refundable, and for income taxes payable or receivable in the future. Deferred taxes arise from temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting of assets and liabilities. The effective tax rates from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 were (14.1)%, 4.8% and
38
(61.1)%, respectively. Included in income tax benefit for 2004 and 2003 is $1.9 million and $14.7 million, respectively, for taxes paid in prior periods which are now recoverable due to the carryback of the 2003 and 2004 net operating losses. A valuation allowance of $15.3 million and $47.9 million was provided in 2004 and 2003, respectively, to reduce the net deferred tax benefits, including benefits related to net operating loss carryforwards, to $0.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 2003 was primarily due to lower income before taxes, the increase in the percentage of tax-exempt municipal interest as compared to pretax income, lower state income tax expense and low-income housing tax credits.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Overview
At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine had total assets of $1.4 billion, a decrease of $1.8 billion, or 56.5% from $3.2 billion at December 31, 2003. Approximately $1.5 billion of the decrease was due to the sale of its banking subsidiary, CIB – Chicago and of substantially all the assets of CIB Marine’s nonbanking subsidiaries, Commercial Finance and MSI. Additionally, a portion of the decrease was due to a decline in total loans at the remaining banking subsidiaries as CIB Marine focused on improving its credit quality, liquidity and capital.
In November 2004, CIB Marine sold CIB – Chicago to an unrelated banking organization. The final sale price was $67.4 million in cash, of which $5.4 million was used by CIB Marine to repay a short-term loan from the purchaser. The purpose of the loan was to fund the purchase by CIB Marine of CIB – Chicago’s interest in MICR, CIB Construction, including Canron, and the loans and related claims against the borrowers in a Chicago condominium development loan. CIB Marine used $23.6 million of the proceeds to repay all indebtedness under CIB Marine’s revolving line of credit and injected $15.0 million of new capital into Central Illinois Bank. At the time of sale, CIB – Chicago operated 16 banking facilities in the Chicago metropolitan area and had approximately $1.2 billion in assets, $682.8 million in loans and $1.1 billion in deposits. At December 31, 2003, CIB – Chicago accounted for $1.5 billion, $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, of CIB Marine’s consolidated assets, loans and deposits. In June 2004, CIB Marine sold substantially all the business assets and the business of its factoring subsidiary, Commercial Finance. Total assets at the time of sale were $10.9 million. The company was fully dissolved in November 2004. At December 31, 2003, Commercial Finance accounted for $11.9 million of the consolidated assets of CIB Marine. During the third quarter of 2004, CIB Marine sold substantially all of the assets and operations of its mortgage banking subsidiary, MSI. CIB Marine is in the process of winding down the remaining affairs of this company and has incurred certain liabilities with respect to the operations of the mortgage company. These liabilities, totaling $1.8 million at December 31, 2004 include repurchase obligations relative to certain mortgage loans as a result of external fraud and/or documentation issues, and certain reporting penalties. At December 31, 2003, MSI accounted for $2.9 million of the consolidated assets of CIB Marine.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale, which comprise primarily residential first mortgage loans were $16.7 million at December 31, 2003 as compared to none at December 31, 2004. This decrease was due to CIB Marine’s sale of substantially all the assets and operations of MSI during the third quarter of 2004.

Total securities outstanding at December 31, 2004, were $379.0 million, a decrease of $258.3 million, or 40.5%, from $637.3 million at December 31, 2003. CIB – Chicago accounted for $283.6 million of the consolidated CIB Marine securities at December 31, 2003. Excluding CIB – Chicago, CIB Marine’s securities increased $25.3 million at December 31, 2004 as compared to December 31, 2003. The increase was the result of reduced loan volumes and CIB Marine’s strategy to maintain higher levels of liquid assets in order to mitigate the increased level of liquidity risk. The ratio of total securities to total assets was 27.4% and 20.0% at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
At December 31, 2004, 51.1% of the portfolio consisted of U.S. Treasuries and government agency securities, as compared to 49.5%, excluding CIB – Chicago, at December 31, 2003. The increase in the level of U.S. Treasuries and government agency securities is primarily a result of CIB Marine’s desire to change the portfolio mix based on market and liquidity risk management strategies. Mortgage-backed securities increased $1.6 million during 2004 and represented 37.7% of the portfolio at December 31, 2004 as compared to 40.2%, excluding CIB – Chicago, at December 31, 2003. Obligations of states and political subdivisions of states represented 4.1% of the portfolio at December 31, 2004, as compared to 6.7%, excluding CIB – Chicago, at December 31, 2003. The decrease in the level of states and political subdivisions of states is a result of an increase in the uncertainty for the timing of the utilization of tax benefits derived from the related federally tax-exempt interest income. Most of these obligations were general obligations of states or political subdivisions of states in which CIB Marine’s subsidiaries are located. Commercial paper accounted for 3.3% of the portfolio at December 31, 2004 and 1.5%, of the portfolio, excluding CIB – Chicago, in 2003.
Securities classified as available for sale are those that CIB Marine has not classified as held to maturity or as trading securities. CIB Marine has not maintained any securities for trading purposes or classified any securities as held for maturity. CIB Marine may sell securities classified as available for sale if it believes the sale is necessary for liquidity, asset/liability management or other reasons. Securities available for sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, included as a separate component of “accumulated other comprehensive income” in equity.
Based on its evaluation of individual securities, CIB Marine has determined it has no securities in its portfolio which are other than temporarily impaired.

Loans
General.CIB Marine offers a broad range of loan products, including commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial and residential real estate construction loans, residential real estate loans, and various types of consumer loans. CIB Marine’s underwriting standards, as contained within its loan policy, are based on the general assumption that the primary source of repayment should be the regular operating cash flows and the secondary source should be the liquidation and disposition of collateral. Exceptions to this policy are permitted with the approval of the loan committee and exceptions to the policy have, in the past, been approved by the loan committee.
Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, were $0.7 billion at December 31, 2004, a decrease of $1.5 billion, or 68.1%, from $2.3 billion at December 31, 2003, and represented 51.8% and 70.6% of CIB Marine’s total assets at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The majority of the decrease was due to the sale of CIB – Chicago which had $1.1 billion in net loans at December 31, 2003. The remaining $0.4 billion decrease was mainly due to CIB Marine’s shift in focus during the last half of 2003 and into 2004 from business development to improving the asset quality of the portfolio. The majority of this decrease occurred in the commercial and commercial real estate balances which decreased $0.5 billion and $0.8 billion respectively, from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2003.
The following table sets forth a summary of CIB Marine’s loan portfolio by category for each of the periods indicated. The data for each category is presented in terms of total dollars outstanding and as a percentage of the total loans outstanding.

Commercial loans consist of loans to small and medium-sized businesses in a wide variety of industries, including wholesalers, manufacturers and business service companies. CIB Marine provides a broad range of commercial loans, including lines of credit for working capital purposes, accounts receivable and inventory financing, and term notes for the acquisition of equipment and for other purposes. In general, commercial loans are collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, real estate and other commercial assets, and may be supported by other credit enhancements, such as personal and corporate guarantees on these borrowings. When warranted by the overall financial condition of the borrower, loans may also be made on an unsecured basis. Terms of commercial loans generally range from one to five years, and the majority of these loans have floating interest rates.
Factoring Receivables.In August 2002, CIB Marine acquired through Commercial Finance certain of the assets of a business engaged in the factoring of receivables. This company provided financing to smaller businesses that needed more rapid cash flow from their receivables. Advances were secured by the receivables and other assets of the customer, and were made to the customer with recourse. In the second quarter of 2004, CIB Marine sold the assets of Commercial Finance and the company was dissolved in November 2004.
Commercial Real Estate Loans.At December 31, 2004, commercial real estate loans decreased $780.0 million, or 65.9%, from the prior year end and represented 54.1% of gross loans. The majority of this decrease was due to the sale of CIB – Chicago which had $646.8 million of commercial real estate loans at December 31, 2003 and CIB Marine’s shift in focus from business development to improving the asset quality of the portfolio. Commercial real estate loans are made to finance commercial properties such as office buildings, multi-family residences, motels, strip malls, warehouses and other commercial properties for which CIB Marine primarily holds real property as collateral. CIB Marine may also require other credit enhancements, such as personal and corporate guarantees, on these borrowings. Commercial real estate loans are made at both fixed and variable interest rates with terms generally ranging from one to five years. CIB Marine’s underwriting standards generally require that a commercial real estate loan not exceed 80% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan.
Commercial Real Estate Construction Loans.At December 31, 2004, commercial real estate construction loans totaled $109.7 million, a decrease of $254.1 million, or 69.9%, over the prior year end and represented 14.7% of gross loans. The majority of this decrease related to the sale of CIB – Chicago which had $158.5 million in commercial real estate construction loans at December 31, 2003 and CIB Marine’s shift in focus from business development to improving the asset quality of the portfolio. Commercial real estate construction loans include loans for the construction of office buildings, multi-family residences, motels, strip malls, warehouses, and other commercial real estate projects. Before approving a construction loan, CIB Marine generally requires that permanent financing for the project be approved by CIB Marine or a nonaffiliated third party lender. These loans are typically secured by the real estate on which the project is being constructed, and generally require that the principal amount of the loan be no more than the lesser of 80% of the projects appraised value upon completion or 100% of the estimated construction costs. CIB Marine may also require other credit enhancements, such as personal and corporate guarantees, on these borrowings. Generally, site inspections and various affidavits and statements are required before a draw on the loan is disbursed. Real estate construction loans are made at both fixed and variable rates and generally are for a term of 12 to 18 months.
Residential Real Estate Loans.At December 31, 2004, residential mortgage loans, which are not held for sale totaled $31.0 million and represented 4.1% of gross loans, as compared to $85.9 million and 3.6%, respectively, at December 31, 2003. Of the $54.9 million decrease from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004, $22.8 million related to the sale of CIB – Chicago. Residential mortgage loans held in CIB Marine’s portfolio are made with both floating and fixed interest rates and terms of one to 30 years.
Home Equity and Consumer Loans.CIB Marine also offers a variety of other types of consumer loans, including installment, home equity, and credit card loans. These consumer loans totaled $9.8 million at December 31, 2004 and represented 1.3% of gross loans, as compared to $15.8 million and 0.7%, respectively, at December 31, 2003.
42
Leveraged Financing.CIB Marine has also provided leveraged financing, including mezzanine loans, to certain of its borrowers through CIB Marine Capital. Typically, the collateral coverage on these loans is insufficient to secure a senior debt position. These loans are generally commercial, commercial real estate or commercial construction loans. Mezzanine loans are, by their nature, inherently riskier than senior debt position loans. These loans are typically secured by a junior position on some or all of the assets of the borrower. CIB Marine may have also required other credit enhancements, such as personal and corporate guarantees, on these borrowings. At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine Capital had approximately $3.4 million in mezzanine loans outstanding which are included in the applicable loan categories. The additional inherent risk on these loans is taken into consideration in establishing the allowance for loan losses relative to these loans and which was $0.3 million at December 31, 2004. During the fourth quarter of 2003, CIB Marine Capital ceased to offer new loans and began the winding down of its affairs, including the sale and collection of outstanding loans. CIB Marine does not expect the mezzanine loan portfolio will represent a significant portion of the total loan portfolio in the future.
Receivables from Sale of Stock.CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks have made loans to borrowers to purchase CIB Marine stock in private placement offerings from CIB Marine or from other shareholders. Loans originated by CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks to purchase CIB Marine stock that are not sufficiently collateralized by assets other than CIB Marine stock are accounted for as a reduction of stockholders’ equity unless the loan has been repaid prior to the issuance of the financial statements. Such loans are recorded as receivables from sale of stock (a contra-equity account) and totaled $0.9 million at December 31, 2004 and $5.2 million at December 31, 2003. Interest earned on these loans was $0.2 million in 2004, $0.3 million in 2003 and $0.5 million in 2002 and is included in “interest and dividend income-loans” and “discontinued operations” as appropriate.

Credit Concentrations
At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine had one secured borrowing relationship (loans to one borrower or a related group of borrowers) that exceeded 25% of stockholders’ equity as compared to fifteen at December 31, 2003. The total outstanding commitments on this loan including lines of credit not fully drawn at December 31, 2004, were 33% of equity and 4% of total loans. The principal drawn and outstanding on this loan was $30.8 million. The decrease in credit concentrations was primarily due to the sale of CIB – Chicago and management’s strategy to reduce these types of exposures.
At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine also had credit relationships within seven industries or industry groups with loans outstanding in that industry or industry group that exceeded 25% of its stockholders’ equity:

Credit Procedures and Review
In order to manage credit risk and the growth of the loan portfolio, CIB Marine has developed, implemented and periodically updates various policies and procedures, including a comprehensive loan policy, and has established various loan committees. The loan policy establishes underwriting standards, a loan approval process, loan officer lending limits, loan pricing guidelines, a credit rating system, delinquency monitoring procedures, credit collection procedures and a comprehensive loan review system. The loan underwriting, approval and review processes are designed to protect asset quality by assuring that credit requests are independently reviewed on at least two different levels, and to promote uniform lending standards among CIB Marine and its subsidiaries.
Loan Underwriting.The underwriting standards contained within CIB Marine’s loan policy address various aspects of the lending function, including an analysis of a borrower’s ability to repay, collateral requirements, loan-to-value ratios, appraisals and personal guarantees. CIB Marine’s underwriting standards are based on the assumption that the principal source of repayment should be the regular operating cash flows of the borrower and the secondary source should be the liquidation and disposition of collateral. The extent to which collateral is required for a loan is determined by the loan policy and management’s assessment of the creditworthiness of the borrower. The amount and type of collateral required varies, but may include real estate, marketable securities, deposits held in financial institutions, accounts receivable, equipment and inventory. CIB Marine may also require personal and corporate guarantees when deemed necessary. Collateral values are monitored on a regular basis to ensure that they are maintained at an adequate level. CIB Marine obtains and updates appraisals on collateral when management believes they are necessary and as required by applicable laws or regulations.
Loan Approval.The approval process for a loan depends upon the size of the prospective borrowing relationship. Depending on size, new loans and modifications or renewals of existing loans are generally approved by the individual lending officer or approved or ratified by the applicable loan committee each of which has authority to approve loans under certain circumstances. Generally, each small loan committee is comprised of various officers of CIB Marine and the applicable subsidiary, and approves loans where the borrowing relationship is greater than $0.1 million, but less than or equal to $1.0 million. Each large loan committee is comprised of various officers and outside directors of CIB Marine and/or the applicable subsidiary, and approves loans where the borrowing relationship is greater than $1.0 million. CIB Marine has instituted a number of changes to its loan approval process. In February 2003, the Board created an Executive Loan Committee. The Executive Loan Committee reviews all new loans and extensions, renewals or modifications of existing loans to a borrower, or related group of borrowers, which are individually or in the aggregate, including existing credits to such borrower or related group of borrowers, equal to or greater than $15.0 million, which threshold was further reduced to $10.0 million in January 2004. In April 2004, the Board reaffirmed its commitment to limiting credit relationships to no more than $25.0 million except under certain circumstances. In 2004, CIB Marine’s President and CEO and/or the Chief Credit Officer were given veto authority over any loan and did not have any individual loan approval authority except that the Chief Credit Officer had lending authority with respect to work out credits. At the beginning of the first quarter of 2005, CIB Marine amended its approval procedures to incorporate a signature authority matrix. Generally speaking, loans may be approved under a sponsor/approver system where the Executive Loan Committee had granted pre-approved limits for individual lenders and credit department staff. The line personnel sponsor the credit and the credit department personnel approve the credit up to their assigned authority. However, the Executive Loan Committee reviews all credits which individually or in aggregate exceeded a threshold amount. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the threshold was established at $7.5 million. In the last quarter of 2005, the threshold was further reduced to $2.5 million. CIB Marine believes that these new procedures will strengthen its underwriting processes and provide additional controls to monitor and evaluate credit concentrations.
Loan Review.CIB Marine’s loan review function is responsible for assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio, establishing and monitoring adherence to underwriting standards and promptly identifying loans with potential credit exposure. Loan reviews are conducted on a regular basis as established by the loan policy. These analyses are completed annually, or more frequently if warranted, and include a comprehensive assessment of collateral and debt service ability at both CIB Marine and other creditors. These analyses also include an evaluation of geographic, industry and other credit risks. In general, all loans of $1.0 million or greater and 70% of loans between $0.2 million and $1.0 million are reviewed on an annual basis, or more frequently when management believes additional reviews are necessary. In 2004, CIB Marine outsourced its loan review function.
Loans with identified weaknesses are monitored on an on-going basis by management and the applicable subsidiary’s Board of Directors. CIB Marine also implemented a loan grade certification program requiring a periodic assessment and certification by individual lenders of portfolio risk ratings.

Allowance for Loan Losses
CIB Marine monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the amount of provision for loan losses and recoveries of previously charged-off loans, and is decreased by the amount of loans charged-off. At December 31, 2004, the allowance for loan losses was $29.6 million, or 4.0% of total loans, compared to $109.9 million, or 4.7% of total loans, at December 31, 2003. Excluding CIB – Chicago, the allowance decreased $24.8 from $54.4 million at December 31, 2003 to $29.6 million at December 31, 2004. Total charge-offs for 2004 were $80.0 million, including $34.6 million at CIB – Chicago while recoveries were $8.6 million, including $4.7 million at CIB – Chicago. This compares to 2003 charged-off loans of $103.1 million, including $74.0 million at CIB – Chicago and recoveries of $2.0 million, including $0.8 million at CIB – Chicago. The decrease in the allowance was primarily due to net charge-off and a decrease in the amount of loans outstanding at December 31, 2004 as compared to December 31, 2003 and a decrease in credit concentrations. Although CIB Marine believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, there can be no assurance that the allowance will prove sufficient to cover actual loan losses in the future. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the quality of loans and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and may require CIB Marine to make additional provisions to the allowance or may downgrade loan ratings, which may result in additional provisions to the allowance based upon their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Regulatory Matters” of this Form 10-K.
In 2004, CIB Marine, excluding CIB – Chicago, charged-off $45.4 million in loans. Six lending relationships (loans to one borrower or a related group of borrowers) accounted for $33.5 million or 73.3% of these total charge-offs. Five of these six relationships, which accounted for $23.8 of the $33.5 million in charge-offs, had loans on nonaccrual status at December 31, 2004. See the nonaccrual discussion in the nonperforming assets and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing section for further information on these five borrowing relationships. The sixth borrowing relationship had charge-offs in the amount of $9.7 million relating to commercial loans which were charged-off after the borrowers filed for bankruptcy. See Note 17 in Item 8 of this Form 10-K document for further information on this charge-off.
The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for loan losses for each of the periods indicated

Nonperforming Assets and Loans 90 Days or More Past Due and Still Accruing
The level of nonperforming assets is an important element in assessing CIB Marine’s asset quality and the associated risk in its loan portfolio. Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans and foreclosed property. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when CIB Marine determines that it is probable that principal and interest amounts will not be collected according to the terms of the loan agreement. A loan is classified as restructured 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. Foreclosed property represents properties acquired by CIB Marine as a result of loan defaults by customers.
The following table summarizes the composition of CIB Marine’s nonperforming assets, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing, and related asset quality ratios as of the dates indicated.

As a result of the sale of CIB – Chicago, which had nonaccrual loans of $60.3 million at the time of the sale, total nonaccrual loans decreased $97.7 million, or 64.3%, from $152.1 million at December 31, 2003 to $54.3 million at December 31, 2004. Total nonaccrual loans, excluding CIB – Chicago, increased $1.5 million from $52.9 million at December 31, 2003 to $54.3 million at December 31, 2004. This compares to an increase in nonaccrual loans of $113.1 million during 2003 from $39.0 million at December 31, 2002. Excluding CIB – Chicago, nonaccrual loans increased $37.0 million during 2003 as compared to 2002. The $37.0 increase was primarily due to three borrowing relationships totaling $31.8 and comprised of secured commercial and commercial real estate loans. One relationship totaling $17.8 million at December 31, 2003 was reduced through paydowns and charge-offs in 2004 and 2005 and the remaining balance was sold in the third quarter of 2005. The second relationship totaling $8.0 million at December 31, 2003 had nonaccrual loans totaling $3.6 million at December 31, 2004. The third relationship totaling $6.0 million at December 31, 2003 was paid in full during 2004.

The ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans was 7.28% and 6.44% at December 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively. Excluding CIB – Chicago, the ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans was 4.29% at December 31, 2003. Foregone interest on nonaccrual loans reduced interest income by $8.9 million in 2004, $10.7 million in 2003 and $3.1 million in 2002.

Foreclosed properties were $2.9 million at December 31, 2004 and consisted of four commercial properties, one of which was acquired during 2004. At December 31, 2003, foreclosed properties were $40.7 million and consisted of nine commercial properties, six of which were acquired during 2003. All foreclosed properties were held for sale. The $37.8 million decrease in foreclosed properties at December 31, 2004 as compared to December 31, 2003 was mainly due to the transfer of a $26.7 million commercial office building located in Chicago in exchange for the satisfaction of the assumed mortgage debt, the sale of an $8.8 million parking structure in Chicago, and the sale of CIB – Chicago. In conjunction with the sale of CIB – Chicago, CIB Marine sold a foreclosed property with a carrying value of $1.9 million at the time of sale. The following two properties accounted for $34.0 million of the $37.8 million decrease:
| • | | A commercial office building located in Chicago which had a balance of $25.2 million at December 31, 2003 and was subject to a $26.7 million first mortgage held by a nonaffiliated financial institution. The building was being converted into residential condominiums and was acquired through a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure Settlement Agreement (“DIL Agreement”) from a borrower who was in default on its obligation. CIB – Chicago held the second position on the property. During 2003, CIB Marine charged-off $41.7 million of loans secured by the second position and recognized a $1.5 million impairment loss on the foreclosed property. Pursuant to the DIL Agreement, CIB Marine acquired the property subject to the first lien held by an outside financial institution (“Lender”) and assumed the borrower’s financial obligation relating to that first lien. The assumed financial obligation is reported as an outstanding nonrecourse mortgage note payable and had a balance of $26.7 million at December 31, 2003. Under the terms of the assumption, CIB Marine’s liability to the Lender for payment on the assumed obligation was limited to monies received through the liquidation of the acquired collateral. In the second quarter of 2004, CIB – Chicago transferred its interest in the acquired property to the Lender in exchange for the satisfaction of the assumed mortgage note payable. The decision was made after exhaustive efforts to sell the property proved carrying the property was not economically feasible. The transfer of interest in the acquired property to the Lender in return for the satisfaction of the assumed mortgage note payable resulted in no additional gain or loss. During 2004, CIB Marine recognized $1.4 million in expenses related to the carrying costs of this property and $0.7 million of interest expense on the mortgage note payable. |
|
| • | | A parking structure located in Chicago which had a balance of $8.8 million at December 31, 2003 and was sold in the second quarter of 2004, resulting in a $0.6 million loss. |
At December 31, 2004, $2.8 million or 96.6% of foreclosed properties consisted of the following:
| • | | A single family home located in Florida which had a balance of $1.1 million at December 31, 2004. The property was acquired through foreclosure proceedings in the third quarter of 2004. The property was sold in June 2005, resulting in a gain of $0.2 million. |
|
| • | | A vacant commercial parcel located in Illinois which had a balance of $0.9 million at December 31, 2004. The property was acquired through a deed in lieu of foreclosure in 2002. During both 2004 and 2003, CIB Marine recognized a $0.5 million market value impairment losses on this property. In March 2006, this property was sold for $0.6 million resulting in additional loss of $0.3 million. |
|
| • | | An industrial building located in Wisconsin which had a balance of $0.8 million at December 31, 2004. The property was acquired through foreclosure proceedings in 2003. |
Restructured loans were $1.5 million at December 31, 2004 as compared to $2.9 million at December 31, 2003. The balance at December 31, 2004 and the decrease from 2003 to 2004 was primarily due to one lending relationship. As of December 31, 2003, there were two restructured loans in this lending relationship: a commercial loan with a balance of $1.3 million at December 31, 2003, which was charged-off in full during the third quarter of 2004, and a commercial real estate loan with a balance of $1.5 and $1.6 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which had specific reserves of $0.1 million at December 31, 2003. There were no specific reserves allocated to this loan at December 31, 2004. The note matured on March 1, 2006 and CIB Marine has engaged counsel to commence foreclosure proceedings. While CIB Marine believes that the value of the property securing the obligation approximates the amount of the book value of the loan, it cannot provide assurances that the value will be maintained or that there will not be losses with respect to this relationship.
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest are loans which are delinquent with respect to the payment of principal and/or interest but which management believes all contractual principal and interest amounts due will be collected. CIB Marine had $6.9 million in loans that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing at December 31, 2004 compared to $0.4 million at
50
December 31, 2003. Only one borrowing relationship within this category had outstanding loan balances in excess of $1.0 million. This borrowing relationship, which had loans outstanding at December 31, 2004 of $5.5 million, accounted for 79.3% of the total loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest at the end of the year. The loans within this borrowing relationship were secured by first mortgage liens on commercial real estate property and a certificate of deposit and were paid in full during the fourth quarter of 2005. No specific reserves were allocated to this relationship at December 31, 2004. Accrued interest on loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing as of December 31, 2004 was $0.1 million. There was no accrued interest due on these loans as of December 31, 2003.
Regulatory Matters
On January 30, 2003, CIB – Chicago entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“the Memorandum”) with the DBRE and the FDIC. The Memorandum was entered into as a result of deterioration in the credit quality of the loan portfolio, the level of concentrations of credit, and weaknesses in the credit administration process identified during the DBRE’s regular examination of CIB – Chicago, which commenced on August 31, 2002.
Pursuant to the Memorandum, CIB – Chicago agreed to take certain actions to correct the deficiencies noted within the examination report. In addition, during the period in which the Memorandum was in effect, the bank agreed to maintain a Tier 1 capital level equal to or exceeding 8% of the bank’s total assets as calculated in accordance with 12 C.F.R. Part 325 of the FDIC rules and regulations (“Part 325”). In the event such ratio was less than 8% as of June 30 or December 31 of each calendar year the Memorandum was in effect, the bank was required within 30 days thereof to submit to the regulators a plan for the augmentation of the bank’s capital accounts. Also, unless prior written consent was received from the regulators, the bank agreed to restrict its loan growth to no more than 2% during any consecutive three-month period and suspend the declaration or payment of dividends without regulatory approval.
In May 2004, CIB – Chicago, Central Illinois Bank, Marine – Wisconsin and CIB – Indiana entered into Cease and Desist Orders with banking regulators. The Memorandum was released as a result of entering into the Cease and Desist Order. CIB Marine sold CIB – Chicago in November 2004. In May 2004, CIB Marine entered into a Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The Orders and Agreements impose certain restrictions and reporting requirements on CIB Marine and such subsidiary banks and require various actions to be taken. The items include, among others:
| § | | Maintenance of minimum capital levels; |
|
| § | | Restrictions on dividend payments and redemption of shares of CIB Marine without regulatory approval; |
|
| § | | Limitations on asset and loan growth; |
|
| § | | Adoption of a comprehensive plan to improve earnings; |
|
| § | | Development of a plan to reduce concentrations of credit and loan relationships classified as substandard or doubtful; |
|
| § | | Development of a system to correct loan administration deficiencies; and |
|
| § | | Development of a plan to correct and prevent violations of banking laws and regulations related to affiliate transactions. |
These regulatory Orders and Agreements were filed with the SEC on June 1, 2004. In August 2004, Citrus Bank entered into a Written Agreement with the OCC, the provisions of which are similar to the Cease and Desist Orders. The Written Agreement was filed with the SEC on August 23, 2004. In April 2005, the Cease and Desist Orders at Marine – Wisconsin and CIB – Indiana, which was merged into Marine – Wisconsin in August 2006, were each released and replaced with a Memorandum of Understanding, which were entered into in March 2005, as a result of improvements at the banks. Pursuant to the Memoranda, the banks have agreed to maintain minimum capital levels, correct loan administration deficiencies, reduce credit concentrations and problem credits, and not to declare or pay cash dividends without regulatory approval. In September 2006, the Written Agreement with Citrus Bank was terminated due to improvements at that bank.
In April 2005, Central Illinois Bank, Marine – Wisconsin and CIB – Indiana each entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the FDIC and its applicable state banking regulators as a result of deficiencies in internal controls in the area of information technology. The banks agreed to take certain actions to document and fully implement an information security program, exercise appropriate diligence in overseeing arrangements with service providers and assess, develop and implement certain security standards and procedures. These Memoranda were terminated in January 2006.
Management believes that CIB Marine, Central Illinois Bank and Marine – Wisconsin have complied with the majority of the provisions of their respective Orders and Agreement and are in the process of complying with the remaining provisions.

Companies Held For Disposal
CIB Construction (includes Canron)
CIB Construction, a wholly owned subsidiary of CIB Marine, acquired 84% of the common stock of Canron, a steel fabrication and erection company, in October 2002 as a result of loan collection activities from a borrower pursuant to a Settlement Order entered in the Bankruptcy Court. During the third quarter of 2003, the Board of Directors of Canron authorized management to cease operating Canron and commence the liquidation of Canron’s assets. During 2003, Canron sold the Western Canada, Western United States and Mexico operations of the company, sold or closed certain of its other facilities and reduced its work force from 874 to 8 full-time equivalent employees. During 2004, Canron sold certain of its properties and substantially all of its equipment for $7.3 million. Substantially all of the proceeds were used to reduce secured debt to CIB Marine. The net income for 2004 was $3.0 million, mainly due to gains on sales of certain properties and equipment and the settlement of a subordinated debt position at a discount. The net loss for 2003 was $7.0 million including $4.7 million of impairment losses recorded. The current book value represents the estimated net liquidation value.
The following table summarizes the composition of CIB Construction’s consolidated balance sheets. The balance sheets reflect current expectations of liquidation values:

MICR
In 2000, CIB Marine acquired and/or assumed through MICR, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIB – Chicago, the business and certain assets and liabilities of a manufacturer of payment processing systems. The business was acquired from a borrower, who was in default of its obligations, in lieu of foreclosure or other legal action. The principal business of this manufacturer, which operates under the name Maverick International, is the design, development, assembly, distribution and servicing of magnetic ink character recognition check encoders and related embedded software for small and medium-sized financial institutions, as well as to large retailers and independent remittance processors. At the time MICR was acquired, it was valued at fair value based on an independent appraisal. Due to the regulatory requirement to sell or dispose of MICR, its assets and liabilities are classified as companies held for disposal in 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, MICR had assets of $2.7 million and $4.6 million, respectively and at December 31, 2004 and 2003, liabilities of $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

In 2003, CIB Marine obtained updated valuation information and as a result recognized in noninterest expense an impairment loss of $2.0 million on its investment in MICR. In the first quarter of 2004, an additional impairment loss of $1.9 million was recognized. No impairment loss was recognized in 2002. The assets of MICR were sold in the fourth quarter of 2005, and no gain or loss was recognized.

CIB Marine is in the process of winding down the remaining affairs of this company and has incurred certain liabilities with respect to the operations of the mortgage company. These liabilities include repurchase obligations relative to certain mortgage loans as a result of external fraud and/or documentation issues, and certain reporting penalties.

Other assets decreased $29.8 million from $47.7 million at December 31, 2003 to $17.9 million at December 31, 2004. The majority of this decrease was the result of a decrease in income tax refunds receivable due to the receipt in 2004 of overpaid 2003 estimated taxes and an allocation of remaining income tax refunds receivable to subsidiaries sold during 2004.
53
The major components of other investments are as follows:
| • | | Investments in limited partnership interests in various affordable housing partnerships. The carrying value of these investments was $2.1 million at December 31, 2004 and $5.7 million, including $3.2 million for CIB – Chicago, at December 31, 2003.

|
| • | | Investment in three limited partnerships which had a carrying value of $2.2 million at December 31, 2003, net of a $0.7 million impairment loss recognized in 2003. These interests were sold in the first quarter of 2004. CIB Marine recognized a $0.2 million loss on the sale. |
|
| • | | Investment in shares of the common stock of a closely held information services business, which represented less than a 5% interest in the company.

CIB Marine committed to a $1.1 million investment in these companies and as of December 31, 2004 had invested $0.9 million. The carrying value of these investments was estimated to be $0.8 million at both December 31, 2004 and 2003 which represents cost less other than temporary impairment. |

Average interest-bearing deposits, excluding CIB – Chicago, as a percentage of average total deposits was 90.7% in 2004, 91.5% in 2003, and 92.7% in 2002. Time deposits represent the largest component of interest-bearing deposit liabilities. The percentage of average time deposits, excluding CIB – Chicago, to average total interest-bearing deposits was 67.2% in 2004, 68.0% in 2003, and 77.8% in 2002. While declining, these percentages reflect CIB Marine’s significant reliance on time deposits as a source of funding.
Excluding CIB – Chicago, average interest-bearing demand deposits increased $12.3 million or 24.1% in 2004 and other savings accounts increased $12.5 million or 44.2%, while average time deposits, declined $137.6 million, or 14.4%, and average money market accounts decreased $75.2 million or 20.4%. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits also decreased by $6.8 million, or 5.2%, in 2004. The decrease in average deposits is due to the less competitive rate setting practices adopted by CIB Marine for both
54
money market accounts and time deposits, and a decline in overall commercial relationship banking activity maintained by CIB Marine during most of 2004.
Total time deposits of $100,000 or more, including brokered deposits, were $248.5 million or 34.3% of total time deposits at December 31, 2004 and $617.2 million or 33.6% of total time deposits at December 31, 2003. Excluding CIB – Chicago, at December 31, 2003, total time deposits of $100,000 or more, including brokered deposits, were $322.3 million. Brokered time deposits were $62.0 million or 8.6% of total time deposits at December 31, 2004 and $183.0 million or 10.0% of total time deposits at December 31, 2003. Excluding CIB – Chicago, brokered deposits were $87.6 million at December 31, 2003. CIB Marine issues brokered time deposits periodically to meet short-term funding needs and/or when their related costs are at or below those being offered on other deposits.

Borrowings
CIB Marine also uses various types of borrowings to meet liquidity needs and/or fund asset growth, when the pricing on these borrowings is more favorable than deposits.
During the second half of 2003 and throughout 2004, some of the borrowing sources customarily utilized by CIB Marine were restricted or unavailable due to noncompliance with debt covenants and the inability to provide audited consolidated financial statements. Various federal funds purchased became available only after CIB Marine pledged fixed income investment securities, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago restricted borrowing term availability, and derivative counterparties increased collateral requirements. Brokered deposits became available only after a waiver was obtained from the FDIC for subsidiary bank’s deemed to be less than adequately capitalized, and CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks were required to pledge investment securities before they were allowed access to the Federal Reserve discount window.
The following tables set forth information regarding selected categories of borrowings as of the dates indicated.

Total borrowings decreased $112.8 million in 2004 to $87.9 million at December 31, 2004 from $200.7 million at December 31, 2003, representing 6.7% and 6.5% of earning assets, respectively. These reductions were driven by the sale of CIB – Chicago, the satisfaction of an assumed mortgage note payable relating to a foreclosed property, liquidity management activity and reduced funding needs of the subsidiary banks. The $39.0 million decrease in long-term borrowings was primarily due to the sale of CIB – Chicago. At December 31, 2003, CIB – Chicago had a Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing with an outstanding balance of $27.5 million and $4.0 million in fair value adjustments related to hedge accounting. In the fourth quarter of 2004, CIB Marine sold CIB – Chicago and the purchaser assumed CIB – Chicago’s Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing. Short-term borrowings decreased $73.8 million mainly due to the payoff of CIB Marine’s revolving lines of credit and the satisfaction of a $26.7 million mortgage note payable which had been assumed by CIB Marine in conjunction with property acquired through a deed in lieu of foreclosure. See the discussion of foreclosed properties under the heading “Nonperforming Assets and Loans 90 Days or More Past Due and Still Accruing” for further information on the satisfaction of the assumed mortgage note payable in exchange for the transfer of the property.
At December 31, 2003, CIB Marine had a $28.0 million revolving line of credit with an outstanding balance of $23.6 million with a nonaffiliated commercial bank. These funds were used to provide capital support for the growth of the subsidiary banks, acquire branches and for working capital. In the fourth quarter of 2004, CIB Marine repaid this loan in full from proceeds on the sale of CIB – Chicago. From September 10, 2004 through December 31, 2004, CIB Marine also had an additional $5.0 million demand revolving line of credit with this same nonaffiliated commercial bank. This line was never drawn on and was allowed to expire per the terms of the credit agreement on its original maturity date of December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2003, CIB Marine’s factoring subsidiary had a $12.0 million revolving line of credit with an outstanding balance of $7.3 million. In 2004, the net assets of this subsidiary were sold, and the line of credit was paid off upon the sale of the factoring subsidiary.
Total borrowings at December 31, 2003 were $200.7 million as compared to $494.1 million at December 31, 2002 and represented 6.5% and 14.2%, of interest-earning assets respectively. The decrease was due to CIB Marine’s liquidity management activity and reduced funding needs at the subsidiary banks.
Junior Subordinated Debentures and Guaranteed Trust Preferred Securities
CIB Marine has formed four statutory business trusts (“Trusts”) for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and investing the proceeds thereof in junior subordinated debentures of CIB Marine. The trust preferred securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by CIB Marine. The Trusts used the proceeds from issuing trust preferred securities and the issuance of its common securities to CIB Marine to purchase the junior subordinated debentures. Interest on the junior subordinated debentures and distributions on the trust preferred securities are payable either quarterly or semi-annually in arrears. Pursuant to its 2004 Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank, CIB Marine is not permitted to pay any interest on the trust preferred securities without prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board. See “Regulatory Matters” for further discussion. CIB Marine has the right, at any time, as long as there are no continuing events of default, to defer payments of interest on the junior subordinated debentures for consecutive periods not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters, but not beyond the stated maturity of the junior subordinated debentures. CIB Marine has elected to defer all interest payments starting in 2004. Throughout the deferral period, interest on the debentures continues to accrue. In addition, interest also accrues on all interest that was not paid when due, compounded quarterly or semi-annually. During the deferral period, CIB Marine may not pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, or acquire or make liquidation payment on its stock, or make any payment on principal, interest or premium, or redeem any similar debt securities
56
of CIB Marine, subject to limitations. At December 31, 2004, December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, $5.5 million, $11.5 million and $18.8 million, respectively, in interest payments were deferred. The trust preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the junior subordinated debentures at maturity or their earlier redemption. The trust preferred securities qualify as regulatory capital for CIB Marine subject to regulatory limitations. At December 31, 2004, approximately $31.0 million of the $60.0 million trust preferred securities qualified as Tier 1 capital and the remaining $29.0 million qualified as Tier 2 capital. In connection with the sale of CIB – Chicago, CIB Marine pledged the stock of Central Illinois Bank to the purchaser to secure certain indemnification obligations with respect to CIB Marine’s trust preferred securities. No claims have been made by the purchaser related to this indemnification obligation.
Prior to December 31, 2003, the Trusts were consolidated in CIB Marine’s financial statements, with the trust preferred securities issued by the Trusts reflected on CIB Marine’s balance sheet. The balances of these trust preferred securities were $60.0 million and $40.0 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Upon the implementation of FASB Interpretation Number 46 (“FIN No. 46”), as revised in December 2003, the Trusts are no longer consolidated in CIB Marine’s financial statements. As a consequence, in 2003, CIB Marine reports its junior subordinated debentures issued to the Trusts as liabilities and reports its investment in the Trusts as investment in trust common securities. The effect of the implementation of FIN No. 46 on CIB Marine’s consolidated statement of financial condition was to increase investment in trust common securities, net of amounts due to unconsolidated subsidiaries by $1.9 million, decrease trust preferred securities by $60.0 million and increase junior subordinated debentures by $61.9 million.
In September 2002, CIB Marine issued $20.0 million in guaranteed trust preferred securities at a variable rate of interest based upon the three-month LIBOR plus 3.40%. The interest rate was 5.95% at December 31, 2004. The securities are mandatorily redeemable upon their maturity on September 27, 2032 and are callable by the issuer beginning September 30, 2007 at par value. Issuance costs of $0.5 million were incurred in connection with these securities. These costs were deferred and are being amortized over thirty years. CIB Marine used the net proceeds of $19.5 million for general corporate purposes.
In February 2001, CIB Marine issued $15.0 million in guaranteed trust preferred securities at a fixed rate of 10.20% per annum. The securities are mandatorily redeemable upon their maturity on February 22, 2031, and are callable by the issuer beginning February 22, 2011, at a premium, which declines ratably to par by February 22, 2021. Issuance costs of $0.5 million were incurred in connection with these securities. These costs were deferred and are being amortized over thirty years. CIB Marine used the net proceeds of $14.5 million for general corporate purposes.
In September 2000, CIB Marine issued $15.0 million in guaranteed trust preferred securities at a fixed rate of 10.60% per annum. The securities are mandatorily redeemable upon their maturity on September 7, 2030, and are callable by the issuer beginning September 7, 2010, at a premium, which declines ratably to par by September 7, 2020. Issuance costs of $0.5 million were incurred in connection with these securities. These costs were deferred and are being amortized over thirty years. CIB Marine used the net proceeds of $14.5 million for general corporate purposes.
In March 2000, CIB Marine issued $10.0 million in guaranteed trust preferred securities at a fixed rate of 10.88% per annum. The securities are mandatorily redeemable upon their maturity on March 8, 2030, and are callable by the issuer beginning March 8, 2010, at a premium, which declines ratably to par by March 8, 2020. Issuance costs of $0.3 million were incurred in connection with these securities. These costs were deferred and are being amortized over thirty years. CIB Marine used the net proceeds of $9.7 million for general corporate purposes.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the ordinary course of business, CIB Marine engages in financial transactions that are not recorded on its consolidated balance sheets, are recorded in amounts that are different than their full principal or notional amount, or are subsidiaries of CIB Marine that are presented on an equity basis rather than consolidated. Such transactions serve a variety of purposes including management of CIB Marine’s interest rate risk, liquidity and credit concentration risks, optimization of capital utilization, and meeting the needs of its customers.
Commitments:
As a financial services provider, CIB Marine routinely enters into commitments to extend credit, including loan commitments, lines of credit, and standby and commercial letters of credit. While these contractual obligations may represent future cash requirements of CIB Marine, some of these commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments

are subject to the same credit policies and approval process as other loans made by CIB Marine. For additional information, see Note 16 — Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
CIB Marine utilizes derivatives in its asset/liability management activities to modify the existing market risk characteristics of certain assets and liabilities and are predominately comprised of interest rate swaps. An interest rate swap agreement involves the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payment obligations based on the underlying notional principal amounts. The amounts subject to market and credit risks are the streams of interest payments under the agreements and not the notional principal amounts, which are used only to express the volume of the transactions. The fair value of each derivative instrument, however, is recorded on the balance sheet as an asset or liability. CIB Marine’s credit risk on a swap agreement is limited to nonperformance of the counterparty’s obligations under the terms of the swap agreement. CIB Marine deals exclusively with counterparties that have high credit ratings, and based on management’s assessments, all counterparties were expected to meet any outstanding obligations as of December 31, 2004. For additional information regarding CIB Marine’s interest rate swaps at December 31, 2004, including the off-balance sheet notional amount and fair value which is the carrying value, see Note 16-Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risks and Note 21-Fair Value of Financial Instruments in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Trust Preferred Securities:
At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine had a $1.9 million investment in the common securities of the Trusts. CIB Marine has also issued $61.9 million in junior subordinated debentures to the Trusts and which are outstanding at December 31, 2004. The Trusts have a total of $60 million in preferred securities outstanding which were issued to non-affiliated investors and are callable beginning in 2010. Prior to December 31, 2003, the trusts were consolidated with CIB Marine’s financial statements. Beginning in December 2003, pursuant to FASB Interpretation Number 46, the trusts are no longer consolidated and as a result, CIB Marine now reflects its $1.9 common security investment on the equity method. See the “Junior Subordinated Debentures and Guaranteed Trust Preferred Securities” discussion in Item 7 and Note 11-Long-Term Borrowings in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.
Capital Calls:
At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine has a $0.8 million investment in Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) and has committed to make an additional $0.2 million investment. The SBIC may call on the additional $0.2 million.
Residential Mortgage Recourse Obligations:
CIB Marine has contracted with residential mortgage loan investors to repurchase or make the investor whole on losses incurred on residential mortgage loans purchased from CIB Marine and which were not in compliance or otherwise represented a material breach of agreement between CIB Marine and the investor. The amount of unsettled repurchase obligations as of December 2004 is $2.0 million. For additional information see Note 7 — Companies Held For Disposal and Discontinued Operations (MSI) in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Liquidity
The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure that CIB Marine has adequate funding capacity to fund commitments to extend credit, deposit account withdrawals, maturities of borrowings, and other obligations in a timely manner. CIB Marine actively manages its liquidity position by estimating, measuring, and monitoring its sources and uses of funds. CIB Marine’s sources of funding and liquidity include both asset and liability components. CIB Marine’s funding requirements are primarily met by the inflow of funds from deposits, loan repayments and investment maturities. CIB Marine also makes use of noncore funding sources in a manner consistent with its liquidity, funding and market risk policies. Noncore funding sources are used to meet funding needs and/or when the pricing and continued availability of these sources presents lower cost funding opportunities. Short-term noncore funding sources utilized by CIB Marine include federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, Eurodollar deposits, short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and short-term brokered and negotiable time deposits. Effective December 1, 2004, Eurodollar deposits were no longer a funding source as a result of the sale of CIB-Chicago. CIB Marine also has established borrowing lines with the Federal Reserve Bank and nonaffiliated banks. Long-term funding sources, other than core deposits, include long-term brokered and negotiable time deposits and long-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Additional sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, federal funds sold, sales of loans held for sale, and the sale of securities.
During the second half of 2003 and throughout 2004, some of the borrowing sources customarily utilized by CIB Marine were restricted or unavailable due to noncompliance with certain asset quality, earnings and capital maintenance debt covenants and the inability to provide audited consolidated financial statements. Federal funds borrowings by certain CIB Marine subsidiary banks were discontinued or were contingent on subsidiary bank pledges of fixed income investment securities, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago restricted lending terms, and derivative counterparties increased collateral requirements. Brokered deposits were restricted by FDIC rules and regulations at the subsidiary banks which were defined as less than well capitalized due to either low levels of capital or the issuance of Cease and Desist Orders or formal written agreements. Brokered deposits became available only after a waiver was obtained from the FDIC for some of the subsidiary banks and were restricted from use at CIB – Chicago. The credit status of all of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks was reduced, and as a result the subsidiary banks were restricted from daylight overdraft activity at their respective Federal Reserve Banks. Additionally, pursuant to the Written Agreement between CIB Marine and the Federal Reserve Bank, CIB Marine must obtain Federal Reserve Bank approval before incurring additional borrowings or debt. Pursuant to regulatory agreements consented to by certain CIB Marine bank subsidiaries, the subsidiaries must obtain regulatory approval before paying cash dividends. These restrictions could potentially impact liquidity. In the fourth quarter of 2004, CIB Marine sold CIB – Chicago and used a portion of the proceeds to payoff its revolving line of credit with a nonaffiliated bank. This line of credit is no longer available. Further, it is expected that the proceeds from this sale will allow CIB Marine to meet its short-term liquidity needs.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements of cash flows for 2004, 2003 and 2002 contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
CIB Marine’s primary sources of funds for 2004 came from investing activities as a result of a $432.4 million net decrease in the loan portfolio of continuing operations, $206.6 million in net cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations and $69.0 million in proceeds from the sale of subsidiaries. Other major sources of funds came from $17.5 million in cash provided by operating activities. During 2004 and the last half of 2003 management repositioned the Company in order to strengthen its liquidity, capital and asset quality. The cash provided by net lending activities was primarily due to CIB Marine’s reallocation of resources from building new client relationships to improving the quality of its lending portfolio.
A net decrease in deposits of $321.5 million, and $240.5 million in cash used for financing activities by discontinued operations was CIB Marine’s primary use of funds for 2004. Other uses of funds were a net increase in investment securities of $30.0 million, $11.9 million net decrease in short-term borrowings, $8.5 million payment for long-term borrowings, and $0.8 million to purchase property and equipment.
The primary source of funds from discontinued operations for 2004 came from a net decrease in the loan portfolio of $425.1 million. Other sources of funds came from $13.4 million in cash provided by operating activities, $9.7 million in proceeds from the sale of foreclosed properties, $5.1 million decrease in net assets of companies held for disposal, $3.0 million in proceeds from long-term borrowings, and $2.0 million in the reduction of receivables from the sale of stock.
A net decrease in deposits of $220.1 million, $121.8 million in net assets of subsidiaries sold and $111.4 million net increase in investment securities was the discontinued operations’ primary use of funds for 2004. Other uses of funds were a net decrease in short-term borrowings of $23.8 million.
The Company had liquid assets from continuing operations of $233.9 million and $119.8 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
59
CIB Marine was able to meet its liquidity needs during 2004 and 2005. During 2006, it is expected the parent, CIB Marine Bancshares, will have adequate funding capacity to meet its obligations. The primary sources of funding are expected to be cash on hand from the sale of CIB – Chicago, operating cash flows from the sale of services to subsidiary banks and the sale of other assets owned by the parent. CIB Marine subsidiary banks have higher levels of liquid assets to meet potentially high levels of liquidity needs.
The following table summarizes long-term minimum cash payment commitments other than deposit liabilities, which are presented in Note 9 of Item 8 in this Form 10-K.

Capital
CIB Marine and its subsidiary banks 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:

In the second quarter of 2004, CIB – Chicago, Central Illinois Bank, Marine – Wisconsin and CIB – Indiana, each consented to the issuance of a Cease and Desist Order (“Order”) by banking regulatory authorities. Among other items, the Order restricted payment of cash dividends without prior written consent from the regulators and ordered the banks to maintain a Tier 1 Capital level equal to or exceeding 8% of the bank’s total assets. These restrictions are in force during the life of the Order. In the event such ratio is less than 8% at any given calendar quarter end, the bank is required within 90 days to increase its capital ratio to not less than 8%, calculated as of the end of that preceding quarterly period. Failure to comply with the Orders could have a material adverse effect on CIB Marine and its operations. As of December 31, 2003, CIB – Chicago had capital below the 8% minimum, and during 2004, the call reports filed by Central Illinois Bank showed that they also fell below the 8% minimum. However, in the fourth quarter of 2004, CIB Marine sold its bank subsidiary, CIB – Chicago, and a portion of the proceeds was used by CIB Marine to infuse capital into Central Illinois Bank, allowing it to meet its regulatory requirement. As of December 31, 2003, CIB Marine’s total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was below the 8% minimum required to be adequately capitalized. As a result of the sale of CIB – Chicago and further reductions in assets, this ratio was 17.5% at December 31, 2004 and 22.6% at December 31, 2005. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2004, Citrus Bank entered into a Written Agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. As part of the Written Agreement, Citrus Bank must maintain total capital of not less than 14% and Tier 1 Capital of not less than 8%. The call report filed for December 31, 2004 showed that Citrus Bank’s capital level exceeded these requirements. In April 2005, the Cease and Desist Orders at Marine – Wisconsin and CIB – Indiana, which was merged into Marine – Wisconsin in August 2006, were each released and replaced with a Memorandum of Understanding, which were entered into in March 2005, as a result of improvements at the banks. Pursuant to the Memoranda, the banks have agreed to maintain minimum capital levels. In September 2006, the Written Agreement with Citrus Bank was terminated.
CIB Marine’s stockholders’ equity was $92.9 million or 6.7% of total assets at December 31, 2004 as compared to $108.5 million or 3.4% of total assets at December 31, 2003. The decrease during 2004 was primarily due to a net loss of $17.3 million and a $2.8 million reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from a change in net unrealized gains/losses on securities available for sale. These amounts were, partially offset by a $4.3 million decrease in receivables from sale of stock (a contra-equity account). Loans originated by CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks to purchase CIB Marine stock are accounted for as a reduction in stockholders equity and are reported as receivables from sale of stock. The 2004 decrease in receivables from sale of stock was due to the sale of CIB-Chicago and reductions in the underlying loans. See Note 13-Stockholders Equity in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information on receivables from sale of stock and treasury stock.
CIB Marine has junior subordinated debentures issued prior to 2003 which, subject to limitations, qualify as Tier 1 equity capital for regulatory capital purposes. A discussion of these securities is included in “Junior Subordinated Debentures and Guaranteed Trust Preferred Securities”. On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule allowing the continued limited inclusion of trust preferred securities in Tier 1 equity capital. The ruling restricted the core capital elements, including trust preferred securities, to 25% of all core capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
CIB Marine’s consolidated financial statements and notes contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of CIB Marine’s operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all of CIB Marine’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates and changes therein have a greater impact on CIB Marine’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Charter Consolidation
In March 2006 and August 2006, CIB Marine merged Marine FSB and CIB – Indiana, respectively, into Marine – Wisconsin. CIB Marine may also consider the consolidation of additional charters in the future as part of its strategy to become more efficient.
Sale and Wind Down of Nonbank Subsidiaries
During 2005 and 2006, CIB Marine continued the wind down and divestiture of certain of its nonbank subsidiaries in order to more narrowly focus resources on its core commercial and retail banking strategies.
CIB Marine Capital, LLC.CIB Marine continued the wind down of its mezzanine lending company, CIB Marine Capital, LLC. At both December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, total loans outstanding were $0.7 million as compared to $3.4 million at December 31, 2004.
CIB Construction/Canron, Inc.In April, 2005, Canron sold its Rexdale, Ontario facility for $8.2 million. A portion of the proceeds, $2.6 million, were used to pay off the remaining balance of its debt to CIB Marine. Canron no longer owns any real estate. Canron is continuing to collect both on and off-balance sheet receivables and settle and resolve payables and claims through the voluntary liquidation process. In August, 2005, Canron authorized and began liquidation distributions to its shareholders. In 2005, Canron paid $2.1 million in capital distributions to its parent, CIB Construction, and CIB Construction paid dividends totaling $2.6 million to CIB Marine, which CIB Marine recorded as a reduction of its investment in CIB Construction. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Canron has paid $1.0 million in dividends to CIB Construction and CIB Construction has paid $1.6 million in dividends to CIB Marine. As of December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, CIB Marine’s net investment in CIB Construction was approximately $(0.6) million and $(1.2) million, respectively.
MICR, Inc. In January 2005, CIB Marine retained the services of an investment banker to assist in the marketing and sale of MICR. The assets of MICR were sold in the fourth quarter of 2005. No gain or loss on sale was recognized.
Regulatory Orders and Agreements
In April 2005, the Cease and Desist Orders at Marine – Wisconsin and CIB – Indiana, which was merged into Marine – Wisconsin in August 2006, were each released as a result of improvements at such banks and replaced with Memoranda of Understanding, which were entered into in March 2005. Pursuant to the Memoranda, the banks agreed to maintain minimum capital levels, correct loan administration deficiencies, reduce concentrations and problem credits and not declare or pay cash dividends without regulatory approval. In April 2005, Central Illinois Bank, Marine – Wisconsin and CIB – Indiana each entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the FDIC and applicable state banking regulators as a result of deficiencies in information technology. The banks agreed to take certain actions to document and fully implement an information security program, exercise appropriate diligence in overseeing service providers arrangements, and assess, develop and implement security standards and procedures. These Memoranda were terminated in January 2006. In September 2006, the Written Agreement with Citrus Bank was terminated. Management believes that CIB Marine, Central Illinois Bank and Marine – Wisconsin have complied with the majority of the provisions of the respective Orders and Agreement and are in the process of complying with the remaining provisions.
Management Changes
In January 2005, G. Richard Nisbeth was hired as CEO of Citrus Bank. Mr. Nisbeth was also appointed Chairman of this bank. Jack E. Schall continues to serve as its President. In March 2005, Jerry L. Schwallier was hired as the President and CEO of Marine FSB. Upon the merger of Marine FSB into Marine – Wisconsin in March 2006, Mr. Schwallier was appointed Market President of the bank’s western operations and subsequently resigned in September 2006. In July 2005, Joseph T. Henderson was hired as President and CEO of Central Illinois Bank. In April 2006, John P. Hickey was appointed President and CEO of Marine – Wisconsin, replacing Michael Miller who resigned in February 2006. Stanley J. Calderon, President and CEO of CIB Marine served as interim President and CEO of Marine – Wisconsin from February 2006 to April 2006. Upon the merger of CIB – Indiana into Marine – Wisconsin in August 2006, Brian Chaffin, formerly the President of CIB – Indiana, was appointed Market President of the bank’s Indiana operations.
In April 2005, Daniel J. Rasmussen was named Senior Vice President and General Counsel of CIB Marine. Mr. Rasmussen previously served as Vice President and Senior Attorney, and succeeded Donald J. Straka who was assigned other duties in April 2005 and resigned his employment with CIB Marine in June 2005. Mr. Straka remains a director of CIB Construction and Canron.
In January 2006, Michael Paoletta was appointed CIB Marine’s Chief Credit Officer replacing Margaret A. Incandela who resigned in December 2005.

Liquidity
During 2005 and into 2006, some of the borrowing sources customarily utilized by CIB Marine were restricted or were contingent on subsidiary bank pledges of fixed income investment securities.
Loan Pool Purchase
CIB Marine purchased a $47.8 million pool of fixed rate second lien home equity loans from Residential Funding Corporation, a division of General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC) in June 2006. The purchase was funded with $12.0 million in FHLB Chicago borrowings with the remainder coming from cash on hand. The pool includes 989 loans with a weighted average yield of 9.5%, average unpaid balances of $48,335, an average 17.3 year term to maturity, a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 91%, borrower debt to income ratios averaging 39% and FICO scores averaging 713. CIB Marine paid a premium of $1.2 million or approximately 2.5% of the loan balances on purchase which will be amortized over the expected loan terms and an additional 50 basis points will be paid monthly for servicing the portfolio. Geographically the loans are from throughout the United States with the three highest concentrations from the states of California, Texas and Florida which collectively make up 41% of the portfolio. 90% of the loans are on primary residences. 62% of the pool is 30 or 15 year balloon loans and 17% are interest-only loans. 98% of the loans were originated in 2006. CIB Marine hired an outside consulting firm with experience in home equity loan pool purchases to assist it in selecting the selling company and in the due diligence process performed on a sample of the purchased loans. CIB Marine continues to look at alternative investments including possible further loan purchases in an effort to increase both the balances of loans outstanding and the yield on its interest-earning assets.
Cost Controls and Reduction in Force Program
During 2005 and 2006, CIB Marine continued its overall cost savings program which included a reduction in force program and expense controls. Eligible employees impacted by the reduction in force program were paid severance using a consistent formula based upon employee status and years of service. Under the program, CIB Marine reduced its work force during 2005 by 90 full-time equivalent employees with an annual base pay of $4.5 million and incurred approximately $0.9 million in severance expenses. In the first nine months of 2006 under the program CIB Marine reduced its work force another 15 full-time equivalents with annual base pay of $0.9 million and incurred $0.2 million in severance expense. Full-time equivalent employees, excluding MICR, as of December 31, 2004, December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006 were 482, 359 and 297, respectively.
Branch Activities
CIB Marine had 41 branches as of December 31, 2004 holding $1.2 billion in deposits.
2005 – In the fourth quarter of 2005, after each of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of their respective branch networks, three branches were closed, one was sold and several others were actively solicited for sale. Central Illinois Bank closed a branch in Peoria, Illinois, CIB – Indiana closed a branch in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Citrus Bank closed a branch in Biscayne Bay, Florida. The deposits at these branches as of December 31, 2004 were $5.8 million, $6.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Citrus Bank also sold a branch in Sebring, Florida which held $11.0 million in deposits as of December 31, 2004. The net pretax income effects of these activities was a $0.1 million charge to expense as a result of expenses related to the two branch closings of $0.4 million offset by a $0.3 million gain on the branch sale. At December 31, 2005, CIB Marine had 37 branches holding $0.9 billion in deposits.
2006 – In the first nine months of 2006, Marine – Wisconsin sold branches in Grafton, Wisconsin and Omaha, Nebraska. CIB – Indiana closed its Rockville, Indiana branch with minimal costs and Central Illinois Bank sold its Arthur and Lincoln, Illinois branches. The net gain on sales of the four branches was $2.0 million. The deposits of these sold branches as of December 31, 2005 were $12.4 million, $9.4 million, $16.9 million and $8.5 million, respectively. At September 30, 2006, CIB Marine had 32 branches holding $0.8 billion in deposits. As of September 30, 2006, CIB Marine has signed sales agreements for the sale of three additional branches and is negotiating the sale of a fourth that together held total deposits at December 31, 2005 of $73.6 million. No new branches are expected to be opened in 2006.
Goodwill
The balance of CIB Marine’s goodwill is a result of prior branch acquisitions and is being written off as any related branches are being sold. Assuming the sales of branches currently under contractual agreement for sale are consummated as planned, goodwill will be completely eliminated from the balance sheet in early 2007.

FDIC Deposit Insurance Premiums
FDIC deposit insurance premiums represented $4.7 million of the $5.1 million in FDIC and state assessments in 2004. Deposit insurance premiums decreased to $1.5 million in 2005 primarily as a result of the sale of CIB – Chicago. Excluding CIB – Chicago, deposit insurance premiums were $1.4 million, $1.5 million and $0.8 million in 2004, 2005 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
In October 2006 the FDIC Board of Directors approved a One-Time Assessment Credit. This credit, totaling $0.6 million for CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks, will be recorded as a credit against regular FDIC insurance premium expense beginning in January 2007 and continue until the credit is exhausted. Of the $0.6 million, an estimated $0.2 million will be used to offset the FDIC insurance premium during 2007.
Stock Options
As a result of the reduction in force program, resignations and other management and Board of Directors changes, in 2005 and the first nine months of 2006, 293,594 and 222,426 shares, respectively, of previously granted stock options lapsed and/or were surrendered and became available for future grants under CIB Marine’s 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. In September and October 2005, 523,750 options were granted to various employees of the company at an exercise price of $4.10 each. In March 2006, 83,000 options were granted at an exercise price of $4.10 per share, and on November 16, 2006, 400,750 options were granted also at an exercise price of $4.10 per share. As of November 16, 2006, there were 1,277,993 options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $8.45.
Late Filing of Tax Returns
CIB Marine did not file all required federal and state tax returns for calendar years 2004 and 2005 by the required due dates. Although CIB Marine does not anticipate taxable income during these periods, penalties may still be assessed by the Internal Revenue Service and/or applicable state departments of revenue.
Investment Securities
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, CIB Marine sold $9.3 million in tax-exempt securities at a gain of approximately $0.4 million. No tax-exempt securities were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Foreclosed properties
Foreclosed properties were $2.9 million as of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, but were reduced to $0.1 million by September 30, 2006.
Other Investments
One company operating as a small business investment company under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, with a carrying value of $0.4 million as of December 31, 2004 was written down almost completely in March 2005 due to valuation issues and the possibility of a forced liquidation as a result of identified out-of-compliance conditions with Small Business Administration regulations. In June 2006, the managers of this company were able to find an outside equity investor and CIB Marine, along with several other limited partners, were able to sell their interests. CIB marine recognized a $0.4 gain on this sale.
FHLB Stock Investment Activity
At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine held $13.2 million of FHLB Chicago stock. In January 2005, CIB Marine invested an additional $17.0 million because of the attractive dividend yield that had been paid in the past. Although the FHLB Chicago continued to pay dividends, the yields began to fall and in April 2005, CIB Marine sold $5.0 million of its holdings. Subsequently the FHLB Chicago Board disclosed its decision to discontinue redemption of excess, or voluntary, capital stock. Voluntary stock is stock held by
64
members beyond the amount required as a condition of membership or to support advance borrowings. As of December 31, 2005, CIB Marine had FHLB Chicago stock with a carrying value of $25.8 million of which $25.2 million was categorized as excess or “voluntary” and $0.6 million was categorized as required.
In April 2006, the FHLB Chicago announced plans to facilitate limited stock redemption requests from its members by issuing bonds. In June 2006, the FHLB Chicago issued a limited amount of bonds to facilitate voluntary capital stock redemptions and CIB Marine sold back $9.7 million or 37% of its holdings. This represented approximately 40% of the stock CIB Marine requested to be redeemed at that time. As of September 30, 2006, CIB Marine had $16.4 million in FHLB Chicago stock, of which $0.6 million was categorized as required. The FHLB Chicago plans to facilitate the redemption of a limited amount of additional voluntary stock by December 2006 and again in 2007 and 2008, as necessary to meet member demand.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
CIB Marine’s primary market risk exposure is from interest rate risk. Net interest income and the estimated market value of CIB Marine’s assets and liabilities are vulnerable to changes in interest rates. Other market risks exist to a lesser degree, including foreign currency exchange rate risk and equity price risk. Commodity price risk does not normally arise in the course of CIB Marine’s business.
CIB Marine’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for its interest rate risk management policies. CIB Marine sets policy limits for interest rate risk to be assumed in the normal course of business. CIB Marine’s market risk policy has the general objective of maintaining a low level of earnings volatility due to interest rate risk and to protect CIB Marine from the impact that changes in interest rates have on net interest income. CIB Marine uses gap analysis and earnings simulations to measure interest rate risk.
CIB Marine’s Asset-Liability Management Committee monitors, at least quarterly, the interest rate risk measurements for compliance with policy limits. If the derived interest rate risk measurements are outside of the policy limits, management may implement a variety of strategies to reduce the risk. CIB Marine strives to use the most effective instruments for implementing its interest rate risk management strategies, considering the costs, liquidity impact and capital requirements of the various alternatives. The implementation strategies usually involve altering the market risk characteristics of new funding liabilities, and may also include the use of derivative instruments and the altering of the market risk characteristics of groups of interest rate sensitive assets such as the repositioning of marketable securities.
The gap analysis as of December 31, 2004, is shown in the following table and represents the contractual reprice risk positions of CIB Marine. The gap analysis does not represent basis, yield curve or option risk. The table shows interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities and the difference between them within each time interval. In this analysis the contractual repricing interest rate sensitivity position is balanced when an equal amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reprice during a given time interval. Excess interest rate sensitive assets or liabilities repricing in a given time period results in the interest sensitivity gap shown in the table. A positive or asset-sensitive gap indicates that more interest-earning assets than interest-bearing liabilities will reprice in a given time period, while a negative or liability-sensitive gap indicates that more interest-bearing liabilities than interest-earning assets will reprice in a given time period.

The financial instruments are shown to reprice at the earlier of their principal repayment date due to maturity, amortization, or prepayment in a stable rate environment or their next contractual reprice. In the gap analysis, nonmaturing interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are shown to reprice at the next contractual reprice date and the Collateralized Mortgage Obligations and the Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits that are a part of the investment securities are shown to reprice in those periods in which they are expected to repay.
The table indicates that CIB Marine has a positive cumulative gap at one year and a positive cumulative gap in time periods exceeding one year. With a positive gap, an increase in interest rates will generally have a positive effect on the net interest income, and a decrease in interest rates will generally have a negative effect on net interest income. With a negative gap, a decrease in interest rates will generally have a positive effect on the net interest income, and an increase in interest rates will generally have a negative effect on net interest income.
While this repricing interest rate sensitivity analysis is a widely used measure of interest rate risk and may be used as an indication of interest margin direction, it does not fully reflect the effects given to interest rate risks other than reprice risk, such as option, basis and yield curve risks. For these reasons, CIB Marine also performs interest rate sensitivity analyses using earnings simulation models. These analyses measure the estimated percentage change in net interest income due to changes in interest rates. CIB Marine derives results for selected hypothetical changes in interest rates over a selected period of time, usually one year.
The following table illustrates the expected percentage change in net interest income over a one year period due to an immediate change in the short-term U.S. prime rate of interest as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Basis Point Changes |
| | +200 | | +100 | | —100 | | —200 |
Net interest income change over one year | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
December 31, 2004 | | | 6.52 | % | | | 3.40 | % | | | (9.05 | )% | | | (14.59 | )% |
December 31, 2003 | | | 4.83 | % | | | 3.58 | % | | | (4.33 | )% | | | (7.69 | )% |
The analysis reveals an asset sensitive interest rate risk position for the one year horizon at both December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. CIB Marine has held a short average life investment portfolio of less than two years and used longer term certificates of deposit to maintain an asset sensitive interest rate risk position in both years.
CIB Marine monitors the models on an ongoing basis to ensure the assumptions most accurately reflect the current conditions. The balance sheet financial instruments included in the gap and simulation models include loans, investment securities, federal funds sold, time deposits, saving deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings. Some of the options accounted for in the simulation analysis include call options in U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprise issued investment securities, embedded call options in U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprise issued Collateralized Mortgage Obligations, Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits, fixed rate loans, loans with rate floors and put options in various borrowings.
In addition, the interest rate sensitivity analyses include derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps and forward sale agreements. At December 31, 2004, the notional value of receive fixed/pay floating interest rate swaps was $15.0 million and the notional value of pay fixed/received floating interest rate swaps was $6.0 million. The majority of CIB Marine’s interest rate swaps are used to hedge the fair market value of various deposits. At December 31, 2004, the notional value of interest rate swaps to hedge deposits was $15.0 million. These interest rate swaps effectively convert the fixed rates on these deposits and borrowings into floating rates. CIB Marine also engages in interest rate swaps to hedge fixed rate lending activity. At December 31, 2004 the notional amount of pay fixed/receive floating amortizing interest rate swaps was $6.0 million. Prior to the sale of MSI, conditional forward sale agreements (otherwise called ‘best efforts’ contracts) were utilized to hedge the risk of price changes in mortgage loans held for sale and rate locks for loans to be originated for later sale. The notional value of conditional forward sale agreements was $82.9 million at December 31, 2003. There were no forward sale agreements at December 31, 2004.
Some of the features of the financial instruments included in the model that are not reflected fully in the quantitative market risk disclosure information include call options in municipal bonds and U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprise issued structured notes.
The following assumptions were used in the earnings simulation model:
| • | | The balance sheet size was assumed to remain constant; |
|
| • | | All maturing assets and liabilities were invested or deposited into similar financial or derivative instruments; |
66
| • | | Spreads to the benchmark interest rates for pricing new volume to replace maturing or paying older volumes were similar to spreads currently inherent in those financial instruments, except for marketable securities which reflects current market spreads; |
|
| • | | The interest rates of financial instruments with like terms were assumed to change by the same number of basis points except that the timing, magnitude, and direction of change of interest rates paid on nonmaturing savings and interest-bearing demand deposits were assumed to change in a way similar to that experienced in the past, which is less than perfectly correlated with the other interest rate changes. Current anticipated pricing strategies for nonmaturing deposits were also utilized. |
The simulations of earnings do not incorporate any management actions that might moderate the negative consequences of certain interest rate changes. Therefore, they may not reflect actual results.
Equity price risk exists as the result of various holdings of equity securities whose market value changes with changes in the market. Equity holdings include those traded on various exchanges and those that are not, the latter of which have limited liquidity. CIB Marine does not actively hedge its equity positions with derivatives to mitigate the risk of price movements in equity securities. Total equity security holdings of CIB Marine at December 31, 2004 includes $1.1 million of private and public nonaffiliated firms, $2.1 million in low income housing tax credit limited partnerships, $0.6 million of Federal Reserve Bank stock, and $13.2 million of FHLB Chicago stock.
Foreign currency exchange rate risk arises through the sale of foreign currency forward contracts to customers of CIB Marine. CIB Marine hedges all such activity. At December 31, 2004 there were no contracts outstanding. Foreign currency exchange risk also arises through transactions denominated in foreign currencies at Canron. CIB Marine does not hedge this activity. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, Canron had $0.6 million and $7.8 million of Canadian denominated net assets as measured in U.S. Dollars, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. (“CIB Marine”) is a bank holding company. References to “CIB Marine” include CIB Marine’s subsidiaries unless otherwise specified. The primary sources of revenue are providing loans to small and middle-market business customers and the investment in securities. CIB Marine also offers a competitive range of deposit and other financial products to its customers. Offices and, generally, customers are located in the central Illinois, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Omaha, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and southeast Florida markets. During the fourth quarter of 2004, CIB Marine sold CIB Bank (“CIB — Chicago”) which had banking facilities throughout the Chicago metropolitan area and had approximately $1.2 billion in assets at the time of sale. Canron Corporation (“Canron”), an 84% owned subsidiary of CIB Construction, is a steel fabrication and erection company with operations in the United States and Canada, which was acquired in 2002 as a result of collection activities. Since the third quarter of 2003, Canron has been in the process of voluntary liquidation.
The accounting and reporting policies of CIB Marine conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Consolidation
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. Minority interest in Canron is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements and is included in liabilities of companies held for disposal.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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 and the general strength of the local economy. Changes in these factors can significantly affect CIB Marine’s net interest income and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities.
Reclassifications
The 2003 and 2002 operating results of CIB Marine Commercial Finance, LLC (“Commercial Finance”), Mortgage Services, Inc. (“MSI”) and CIB — Chicago were reclassified from income (loss) from continuing operations to discontinued operations to conform to the 2004 presentation of discontinued operations. The net impact, including $4.4 million in related income tax benefit, on the 2003 consolidated statement of operations was a $81.9 million increase in loss from discontinued operations and a $81.9 million decrease in net loss from continuing operations. The impact on continuing operations and discontinued operations, including $6.4 million in related income tax expense, on the 2002 consolidated statement of operations was $12.0 million. See Note 7-Companies Held for Disposal and Discontinued Operations.
Reclassifications have been made to certain other balances as of and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 to be consistent with classifications adopted for 2004.
Cash Flows
For purposes of presentation in the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the consolidated balance sheet captions “Cash and Due from Banks” and “Federal Funds Sold”, all of which mature within ninety days.
Other Investments
Investments in limited partnerships and other equity investments which are not readily marketable are accounted for using the equity method when CIB Marine’s ownership is at least 3% in a limited partnership and 20% in a corporation, but less than 51%. Investments not accounted for under the equity method are accounted for using the cost method. All other investments are periodically evaluated for impairments. If an investment is impaired, a loss is recognized. To determine whether an investment is impaired CIB
75
Marine looks to various indicators including recent transactions, if any, and the investee’s financial condition. During 2004, CIB Marine recognized $0.7 million of impairment losses on other investments. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the carrying value of these investments may need to be further reduced and a loss recorded. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, other investments totaled $3.3 million and $9.6 million, respectively, all of which are illiquid.
The equity method of accounting requires CIB Marine to record its proportionate share of income or loss as an increase or decrease in its investment and a corresponding gain or loss in noninterest income. Cash dividends or other distributions received by CIB Marine are recorded as reductions in the carrying amount of the investment.
Securities Available for Sale
Available for sale securities consist of equity securities, bonds, notes and other debt securities not classified as held to maturity securities or trading securities. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized net gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on the sale of available for sale securities are determined using the specific identification method. Impairments in the value of available for sale securities, which are other than temporary, are accounted for as an unrealized loss through operations.
Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans originated or purchased and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. During 2004, CIB Marine sold its mortgage banking segment and its results of operations, including any unrealized losses on loans held for sale and any gains and losses on the sale of its mortgage loans are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Loans, Allowance for Loan Losses and Provision for Credit Losses
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity for the foreseeable future are carried at the amount of unpaid principal, increased by costs to originate and reduced by net deferred fees and an allowance for loan losses. The accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued when a loan becomes ninety days or more delinquent unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. Loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered by management to be doubtful. Unpaid interest that has previously been recorded as income is written off against interest income when a loan is placed on nonaccrual. Interest on loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding. Interest payments received on loans which are on nonaccrual are generally applied to reduce the loan principal. Loans are returned to accrual status once a borrower has demonstrated repayment performance on the contractual schedule for a period of six consecutive months and the expectation is that contractual payments will continue to be made during the remaining term of the loan.
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes that the collectibility of the principal amount is unlikely and where loans are sold at less than their outstanding principal balances. Recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the allowance.
The provision for loan losses is included in the provision for credit losses in the statements of operations. Also included in the provision for credit losses is the expense for probable losses on unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Estimated losses on unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit are accrued and included in other liabilities.
Management periodically reviews the loan portfolio in order to establish an allowance for loan losses that are probable at the reporting date. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s evaluation of individual loans and the entire loan portfolio, including such factors as the volume and character of loans outstanding, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans, past loan loss experience, the expected loan repayments, estimated value of any underlying collateral on individual loans and general economic conditions.
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses contained in these financial statements was adequate at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in the loan portfolio and/or in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review CIB Marine’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require CIB Marine to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that CIB Marine will be unable to
76
collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment records and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, CIB Marine does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment.
Loan origination fees are deferred and certain direct origination costs are capitalized. The amounts deferred and capitalized are included in the carrying amount of the loans and amortized over the estimated life of the loans as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan. Amortization of deferred loan fees and costs ceases when a loan is placed on nonaccrual. Fees for loans sold and other loan fees are included in the net gain or loss recognized on the sale.
Intangible Assets
Goodwill and core deposit intangibles have resulted from the acquisition of companies or assets. Fair values have been determined by examining stock prices of publicly traded financial institutions with similar performance characteristics as the reporting units and discounted cash flow models. Where market prices are not available and the reporting unit is held for disposal, third party valuations or anticipated offer values are used. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the estimated remaining benefit periods. Core deposit intangibles are amortized over approximately ten years on an accelerated basis. Prior to 2002, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. Intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment at least annually.
Premises and Equipment
Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation computed primarily using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Leasehold improvements included in premises and equipment are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the term of the lease. Rent expense on noncancellable leases is accrued on the straight-line basis over the term of the lease based upon minimum rents.
Foreclosed Properties
Foreclosed properties include other real estate (ORE) assets that have been received in satisfaction of debt. ORE is initially recorded and subsequently carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. Any valuation adjustments required at the date of transfer to ORE are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequently, operating results from ORE, reductions in value of the foreclosed property and realized gains and losses on sale are recorded in noninterest income or noninterest expense as appropriate.
Assets of Companies Held For Disposal
Assets held for disposal include Mortgage Services, Inc. and MICR and Canron, companies acquired in full or partial satisfaction of loans, primarily through foreclosure. These assets are carried at the lower of cost or current fair value, less estimated selling costs. Thereafter, the aggregate assets and liabilities are shown as separate categories on the consolidated balance sheets. When these assets are acquired in full or partial satisfaction of a loan, any excess of the related loan balance over the fair value, less estimated selling cost, is charged as a loan loss against the allowance for loan losses. Net operating income or loss of the companies held for disposal, which meet the criteria as discontinued operations are included in gain or loss from discontinued operations unless a decision is made to cease operations and liquidate the assets and liabilities of the company. Once a decision is made to liquidate the company, CIB Marine ceases recording any future operating results of the company and records an impairment value, if any, based on the estimated liquidation value of the company’s net assets less costs to sell. The impairment loss is recorded as loss from discontinued operations.
77
Stock-Based Compensation
CIB Marine applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB
25”), and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Under SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), companies may elect to recognize stock-based compensation expenses based on the fair value method of the awards or continue to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. CIB Marine has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB 25.
Had compensation expense for these plans been determined based on the fair value method at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the methodology in SFAS 123, CIB Marine’s net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | December 31, | |
| | | | 2004 | | | 2003 | | | 2002 | |
| | | | (Dollars in thousands, except share data) | |
Net income (loss) | | As reported | | $ | (17,347 | ) | | $ | (137,648 | ) | | $ | 8,807 | |
| | Assumed compensation cost (1) | | | (812 | ) | | | (1,247 | ) | | | (1,291 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Pro forma | | $ | (18,159 | ) | | $ | (138,895 | ) | | $ | 7,516 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Basic earnings per share | | As reported | | $ | (0.95 | ) | | $ | (7.53 | ) | | $ | 0.48 | |
| | Pro forma | | | (1.00 | ) | | | (7.60 | ) | | | 0.41 | |
Diluted earnings (loss) per share | | As reported | | $ | (0.95 | ) | | $ | (7.53 | ) | | $ | 0.47 | |
| | Pro forma | | | (1.00 | ) | | | (7.60 | ) | | | 0.41 | |
| | |
(1) | | Assumed compensation costs are net of tax for 2003 and 2002, but not for 2004. Due to the substantial losses incurred in 2004, tax benefits for 2004 and later years may not be realized. As of December 31, 2004, no U.S. federal or state loss carryback potential remains. |
Fair value has been estimated using the minimum value method as defined in SFAS 123. Key assumptions used were zero percent volatility, zero percent dividend yield, expected lives of ten years and risk-free interest rates averaging 5.04% for 2002. No options were granted in 2004 or 2003. The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2002 was $9.56 on the date of grant. Because the options vest over a five-year period, the pro forma disclosures are not necessarily representative of the effects on reported net income for future years.
Under APB 25, stock-based compensation expense includes the excess, if any, of the market price of the stock at grant date or other measurement date, over the exercise price. This expense is recognized over the vesting period of the options. If stock options had an exercise price less than the market price at the measurement date, compensation expense associated with those options would be included in salaries and employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in capital surplus.
CIB Marine records amounts received upon the exercise of options by crediting common stock and capital surplus. Income tax benefits from the exercise of stock options result in a decrease in current income taxes payable and, to the extent not previously recognized as a reduction in income tax expense, result in an additional increase in capital surplus.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123 (revised),Share-Based Payment(SFAS 123R).The objective of SFAS 123R is to recognize in an entity’s financial statements the cost of employee services received in exchange for valuable equity instruments issued to employees in share-based payment transactions. A key provision of SFAS 123R requires public companies to adopt a fair value-based method of accounting. Under this method, the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments would be measured based on the grant date fair value of these instruments. The cost would be recognized over the requisite service period. SFAS 123R is expected to be applied by CIB Marine prospectively as of January 1, 2006 and is not expected to materially affect CIB Marine’s consolidated financial statements.
Advertising Expense
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising expenses of continuing operations, included in noninterest expense, totaled $0.7 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
Receivables from Sale of Stock
Loans originated by CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks to purchase CIB Marine stock are accounted for as a reduction in Stockholders’ Equity and are reported in a contra-equity account entitled “Receivables from sale of stock”, unless the loan has been repaid prior to the issuance of the financial statements or the loan has been adequately collateralized, exclusive of the value of CIB Marine stock pledged as collateral, if any.
78
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the amounts reported for assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences that are expected to be deductible in future years’ tax returns and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance by way of a charge to income tax expense when, in the opinion of management, it is deemed more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will be taxable in future years’ tax returns.
CIB Marine and its subsidiaries file unitary, combined and separate state tax returns where required. Canron files its own Canadian and provincial income tax returns. Canron’s Canadian, U.S. federal, state and provincial income taxes are included in discontinued operations. CIB Marine has entered into tax allocation agreements with its subsidiary entities included in the consolidated US federal and unitary and combined state income tax returns, including US operations of companies held for sale or disposal. These agreements govern the timing and amount of income tax payments required by the various entities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through income tax expense (benefit).
Business Segments
An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities that generate revenue and incur expense. A segment is further defined as a component whose operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in the determination of resource allocation and performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine has determined it has one reportable continuing business segment. CIB Marine, through the bank branch network of its subsidiaries, provides a broad range of financial services to companies and individuals in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Florida, Arizona, Nevada, and Nebraska. These services include commercial and retail lending and deposits. While CIB Marine’s chief operating decision maker monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations in all areas are managed, and financial performance is evaluated, on a corporate-wide basis. The assets of CIB Marine’s mortgage banking segment, MSI, were sold during the third quarter of 2004 and its results of operations for 2004, 2003 and 2002 are included in discontinued operations.
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, if any, is computed using the treasury stock method.
Foreign Currency Translation
In January 2000, CIB — Chicago established a foreign office in the Cayman Islands. The office, which accepted Eurodollar deposits, was closed in the fourth quarter of 2004 in connection with the sale of the bank.
Canron had operations in the United States, Canada and Mexico at the time of acquisition. As of December 31, 2004, operations in western United States, western Canada and Mexico had been sold. The remaining assets in the United States and eastern Canada are in the process of liquidation. See Note 7 — Companies Held for Disposal and Discontinued Operations for further information.
Canron uses the local currency, primarily Canadian Dollars, as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Net exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation of financial statements of foreign operations are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. The effect of foreign currency remeasurement and changes in exchange rates are recorded in the cost of contract revenue as it is expensed against the contract as incurred.
79
Derivative and Hedging Activities
CIB Marine uses certain derivative financial instruments to help manage its risk or exposure to changes in interest rates and in conjunction with its mortgage banking operations. Effective January 1, 2001, CIB Marine adopted SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138 and SFAS 149, which established new rules for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities.
Under SFAS 133, all derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. On the date a derivative contract is entered into, CIB Marine designates the derivative as either (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (“Fair-Value Hedge”), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“Cash-Flow Hedge”), (3) a foreign currency, fair value or cash-flow hedge (“Foreign-Currency Hedge”), (4) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or (5) held for trading (“Trading Instruments”). Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective as, and that is designated and qualifies as, a Fair-Value Hedge, along with the loss or gain on the corresponding hedged asset or liability (including losses or gains on firm commitments), are recorded in current period earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective as, and that is designated and qualifies as, a Cash-Flow Hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows (e.g., when periodic settlements on a variable rate asset or liability are recorded in earnings). Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are highly effective as, and that are designated and qualify as, Foreign-Currency Hedges are recorded in either current period earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether the hedge transaction meets the criteria for a Fair-Value Hedge or a Cash-Flow Hedge. If, however, a derivative is used as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, its changes in fair value, to the extent effective as a hedge, is recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment account within equity. Changes in the fair value of derivative trading instruments are reported in current period earnings.
At the time the hedging instrument is entered into, CIB Marine formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as Fair-Value Hedges, Cash-Flow Hedges, or Foreign-Currency Hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. CIB Marine formally assesses, for all hedges, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions will be or have been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items and whether they are expected to continue to be highly effective in the future. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, CIB Marine discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.
CIB Marine discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when (1) it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item (including firm commitments or forecasted transactions); (2) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; (3) the derivative is designated as a hedge instrument because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur; (4) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or (5) management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate.
When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective Fair-Value Hedge, the derivative will continue to be carried on the balance sheet at its fair value, and the hedged asset or liability will no longer be adjusted for changes in fair value. When hedge accounting is discontinued because the hedged item no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, the derivative will continue to be carried on the balance sheet at its fair value, and any asset or liability that was recorded pursuant to recognition of the firm commitment will be removed from the balance sheet and recognized as a gain or loss in current period earnings. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the derivative will continue to be carried on the balance sheet at its fair value, and gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income will be recognized immediately in earnings. In all other situations in which it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or when hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative will be carried at its fair value on the balance sheet, with changes in its fair value recognized in current period earnings and the adjustment to the hedged asset or liability will be amortized to earnings over the remaining life of the hedged asset or liability.
CIB Marine uses interest rate swaps to hedge changes in the fair value of fixed rate borrowings and specified deposits attributable to changes in market interest rates. CIB Marine primarily engages in floating-pay, fixed-receive swaps, whereby CIB Marine pays a floating interest rate based upon an index and receives a fixed rate of interest. This type of transaction effectively changes the net interest cash flows from a fixed rate to a floating rate. CIB Marine enters into these transactions to provide a funding liability that more closely offsets the market risk of certain floating rate assets whose rate is highly correlated with the index rate off which the floating rate is paid in the interest rate swap. CIB Marine generally enters into swap agreements with nationally recognized securities firms and monitors the credit status of counterparties and the level of collateral for such swaps.
CIB Marine’s mortgage banking activities include the issuance of commitments to extend residential mortgage loans. When the loan is originated or purchased it is recorded as a residential mortgage loan held for sale. The residential mortgage loans held for sale are hedged with conditional forward contracts and a Fair-Value Hedge is designated under SFAS 133. CIB Marine is in a short position with conditional forward contracts, whereby CIB Marine agrees to sell residential mortgage loans held for sale at a pre-
80
established price at some future date, and in a long position with the residential mortgage loans held for sale. The hedging relationship is highly effective and hedges changes in the fair value of the residential mortgage loans held for sale due to interest rate changes. The notional amount of conditional forward contracts outstanding varies and is a function of the current balance of residential mortgage loans held for sale and commitments to extend mortgage loans to be held for sale.
In addition, CIB Marine has various agreements arising out of certain credit relationships under which it may earn other forms of contingent loan fees in addition to interest. The contingent loan fee is typically based upon, or determined by, the financial performance of the borrower. At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine determined these agreements did not have any significant fair value.
Accounting Pronouncements
Loan Commitments
In March 2004, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105,Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments (“SAB 105”). SAB 105 provides guidance regarding loan commitments accounted for as derivative instruments. Specifically, SAB 105 requires servicing assets to be recognized only once the servicing assets have been contractually separated from the underlying loan by sale or securitization of the loan with servicing retained. As such, consideration for the expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan may not be recognized in valuing the loan commitment. This will result in a lower fair value of loan commitments and recognition of the value of the servicing asset later upon sale or securitization of the underlying loan. The provisions of SAB 105 were effective for loan commitments accounted for as derivatives entered into after March 31, 2004. The adoption of SAB 105 did not have a material effect on CIB Marine’s consolidated financial statements.
Changes in Accounting Principle
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3(“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154, which is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, requires retrospective application for voluntary changes in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to do so. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. The adoption of SFAS 154 did not materially affect CIB Marine’s consolidated financial statements.
Investments
In June 2005, the FASB decided not to provide additional guidance on the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment, and directed the staff to issue proposed FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 03-1-a, Implementation Guidance for the Application of Paragraph 16 of EITF Issue No. 03-1, as final. The final FSP will supercede EITF Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” and EITF Topic No. D-44, “Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment upon the Planned Sale of a Security Whose Cost Exceeds Fair Value.” The final FSP (retitled FSP FAS 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments) will replace the guidance set forth in paragraphs 10-18 of EITF Issue 03-1 with references to existing other-than-temporary impairment guidance, such as SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 59, Accounting for Noncurrent Marketable Equity Securities, and APB Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. FSP FAS 115-1 will codify the guidance set forth in EITF Topic D-44 and clarify that an investor should recognize an impairment loss no later than when the impairment is deemed other than temporary, even if a decision to sell has not been made. FSP FAS 115-1 will be effective for other-than-temporary impairment analysis conducted in periods beginning after September 15, 2005. Adoption of this standard did not materially affect CIB Marine’s consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
In June 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Interpretation No. 48 to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The effect of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements if it is determined that it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on its technical merits. The effect is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, although earlier application is encouraged. CIB Marine is still assessing the impact of adoption of the Interpretation on its consolidated financial statements.
81
Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006 the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. SFAS 157 also expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual reports subsequent to initial recognition. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. CIB Marine is still assessing the impact of adoption of SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial statements.
Consideration of the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements on Current Year Financial Statements.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on how to evaluate prior period financial statement misstatements for purposes of assessing their materiality in the current period. If the prior period effect is material to the current period, then the prior period is required to be corrected. Correcting prior year financial statements would not require an amendment of prior year financial statements, but such corrections would be made the next time the company files the prior year financial statements. Upon adoption, SAB 108 allows a one-time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for corrections of prior period misstatements required under this statement. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 is not expected to materially affect CIB Marine’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 — Cash and Due from Banks
Reserves in the form of deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank and vault cash totaling $7.1 million and $14.6 million were maintained to satisfy federal regulatory requirements as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These amounts are included in cash and due from banks in the consolidated balance sheet.

Securities with a carrying value and fair value of $148.3 million and $176.7 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, repurchase agreements and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.
The amortized cost and fair value of securities as of December 31, 2004, 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 maturity schedules.

At December 31, 2002, the accounting requirements for classifications as held for sale and discontinued operations were not met. During the third quarter of 2003, the Boards of Directors of CIB Marine and of Canron authorized management to cease operating Canron and commence a wind down of its affairs and a voluntary liquidation of its assets. The gross assets and liabilities of CIB Construction and its subsidiaries are reported separately on the consolidated balance sheets at their estimated liquidation values less costs to sell. Intercompany loan and cash balances and interest income and expense between consolidated CIB Construction and CIB Marine have been eliminated from the totals shown on the consolidated financial statements. The net income or loss associated with CIB Construction is included in discontinued operations for all periods presented.
During 2004, Canron sold certain of its properties and substantially all of its equipment for $7.3 million. Substantially all of the proceeds were used to reduce secured debt to CIB Marine. In conjunction with the liquidation, Canron established an accrual for employee severance and retention costs. Under Canadian law, employees are generally entitled to one week’s salary for every year of service with the company, up to a maximum of twenty-six years. During 2004, Canron recognized a $0.1 million recovery, which is included in discontinued operations, of prior periods provision for employee severance and retention costs. At December 31, 2004, Canron had an accrued severance liability of $0.3 million and, in accordance with Canadian law, had $0.2 million in a cash trust account for unpaid severance to hourly union employees.
Pretax income for 2004 includes $1.5 million in gains on sales of certain properties and equipment and a $1.8 million gain on the settlement of subordinated debt. The current book value represents the estimated net liquidation value.

Hillside Investors (includes CIB — Chicago)
In November 2004, CIB Marine sold CIB — Chicago to an unrelated banking organization. The final sale price was $67.4 million in cash, of which $5.4 million was used by CIB Marine to repay a short-term loan from the purchaser. The purpose of the loan was to fund the purchase by CIB Marine of CIB — Chicago’s interest in MICR, CIB Construction, including Canron, and the loans and related claims against the borrowers in a Chicago condominium development loan. In connection with the sale of CIB — Chicago, CIB Marine pledged the stock of Central Illinois Bank to the purchaser to secure certain indemnification obligations with respect to CIB Marine’s trust preferred securities. CIB Marine also agreed to indemnify the purchaser for any losses arising out of a breach of certain customary representations and warranties. No claims have been made by the purchaser related to this indemnification obligation. At the time of sale, CIB — Chicago operated 16 banking facilities in the Chicago metropolitan area and had approximately $1.2 billion in assets and $1.1 billion in deposits. The sale of CIB — Chicago reduced consolidated loan totals by $682.8 million, nonaccrual loans by $60.3 million and the allowance for loan losses by $38.1 million.
CIB Marine used $23.6 million of the proceeds from the sale of CIB — Chicago to repay all indebtedness under CIB Marine’s revolving line of credit and injected $15.0 million of new capital into Central Illinois Bank. The balance of the proceeds is being utilized to help fund ongoing operations. The sale resulted in a pretax gain for financial statement purposes of approximately $15.6 million and is included in income (loss) from discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations. The Grand Cayman Islands branch banking facility of CIB — Chicago, which was established to accept Eurodollar deposits, was closed in conjunction with the sale of the bank.
MSI
During the third quarter of 2004, CIB Marine sold to unrelated parties substantially all of the assets and operations of MSI. The sale of the operations was accomplished through two separate transactions and resulted in a combined net pretax loss of $0.7 million on the sales. CIB Marine is in the process of winding down the remaining affairs of this company and has incurred certain liabilities with respect to the operations of the mortgage company. These liabilities include repurchase obligations relative to certain mortgage loans as a result of external fraud and/or documentation issues, and certain reporting penalties.

Note 10 — 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 US Treasury and Government Agency Securities.
At December 31, 2003, CIB Marine had a $28.0 million revolving line of credit with an outstanding balance of $23.6 million with a nonaffiliated commercial bank. The line was collateralized by the common stock of all of its subsidiaries. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the line of credit was paid in full and the line is no longer available.
CIB Marine’s factoring subsidiary had a $12.0 million revolving line of credit at December 31, 2003 with an outstanding balance of $7.2 million. This line of credit was paid off upon the sale of the factoring subsidiary in June 2004.
In December 2003, CIB Marine, through one of its subsidiaries, acquired title to a commercial office building that was being converted into residential condominiums and was subject to a $26.7 million first mortgage held by a nonaffiliated financial institution. CIB Marine held the second position on the property. The asset was acquired through a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure Settlement Agreement (“DIL Agreement”) from a borrower who was in default on its obligation. During 2003, CIB Marine charged-off $41.7 million of loans secured by the second position and recognized a $1.5 million impairment loss on the foreclosed property. The asset acquired was included in foreclosed properties at December 31, 2003 and had a balance of $25.2 million. Pursuant to the DIL Agreement, CIB Marine acquired the property subject to the first lien held by an outside financial institution (Lender) and assumed the borrower’s financial obligation relating to that first lien. The assumed financial obligation was reported as an outstanding non-recourse mortgage note payable at December 31, 2003 and had a balance of $26.7 million. Under the terms of the assumption, CIB Marine’s liability to the Lender for payment of the assumed obligation was limited to monies received through the liquidation of the acquired collateral. The amended mortgage note payable had an interest rate of 10% and a maturity date of October 1, 2004. The mortgage note payable was secured by the acquired property and any related leases and rents. In the second quarter of 2004, CIB Marine transferred
91
its interest in the acquired property to the Lender in return for the satisfaction of the assumed mortgage note. The transfer of interest in the acquired property to the Lender in return for the satisfaction of the assumed mortgage note resulted in no gain or further loss.

At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine was not in compliance with certain asset quality, earnings and capital maintenance debt covenants of certain financial standby letters of credit it participated in with other banks. CIB Marine pledged securities to collateralize its obligation for these participated standby letters of credit and entered into forbearance agreements. The total value of securities pledged to other parties related to those participated standby letters of credit was $5.0 million at December 31, 2004 and $25.0 million at December 31, 2003. CIB Marine recorded a loss of $4.5 million on these certain letters of credit in 2003. There were no losses recorded on these certain letters of credit in 2004.
During the second half of 2003 and during 2004, some of the borrowing sources customarily utilized by CIB Marine were restricted or unavailable due to noncompliance with certain asset quality, earnings and capital maintenance debt covenants and the inability to provide audited consolidated financial statements. Federal funds borrowings by certain CIB Marine subsidiary banks were discontinued or were contingent on subsidiary bank pledges of fixed income investment securities, the FHLB of Chicago restricted lending terms, and derivative counterparties increased collateral requirements. Brokered deposits became available only after a waiver was obtained from the FDIC for some of the subsidiary banks and were restricted from use at CIB — Chicago. Brokered deposits were restricted by FDIC rules and regulations at the subsidiary banks which were defined as less than well capitalized due to either low levels of capital or the issuance of Cease and Desist Orders or formal written agreements by regulatory agencies. Where eligible, the FDIC granted permissible waivers at the subsidiary banks, making the banks eligible to accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits. The credit status of all of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks was reduced, and as a result the subsidiary banks were restricted from daylight overdraft activity at their respective Federal Reserve Banks. Additionally, pursuant to a Written Agreement between CIB Marine and the Federal Reserve Bank, CIB Marine must obtain Federal Reserve Bank approval before incurring additional borrowings or debt. Pursuant to regulatory agreements consented to by certain CIB Marine bank subsidiaries, the subsidiaries must obtain regulatory approval before paying cash dividends. These restrictions could potentially impact liquidity. In the fourth quarter of 2004, CIB Marine sold CIB — Chicago, and used a portion of the proceeds to payoff its revolving line of credit with a nonaffiliated bank. This line of credit is no longer available. Further, it is expected that the proceeds from this sale will allow CIB Marine to meet its short-term liquidity needs.

CIB Marine is required to maintain qualifying collateral as security for both the short-term and long-term FHLB notes. The debt to collateral ratio is dependent upon the type of collateral pledged and ranges from 60% loan to value for 1-4 Family Loans (held for sale) to 95% on US Treasury and Agency Obligation securities. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, CIB Marine had assets pledged as part of a collateral arrangement with the Chicago FHLB valued at $32.1 million and $59.9 million, respectively. These assets consisted of securities with a market value of $34.7 million and $53.8 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and 1-4 family residential mortgages with balances outstanding of $17.7 million at December 31, 2003.
On February 25, 2000, CIB Marine’s bank subsidiary, CIB — Chicago, assumed a $25.0 million FHLB of Chicago advance due June 30, 2008, with a net cost, including premium, of 7.07%. The premium amount of $1.7 million was being amortized to interest expense over the life of the borrowing. The unamortized balance related to this premium was $1.0 million and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Simultaneously with this advance, CIB — Chicago entered into an interest rate swap with the FHLB of Chicago with a $25.0 million notional value and maturing on June 30, 2008, whereby CIB — Chicago pays a variable rate of interest at the 1-month LIBOR rate and earns a fixed rate of interest at 7.08% in order to hedge the interest rate risk on the related debt. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the fair market value of the swap was approximately $4.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The net cash received from the hedging relationship for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, was approximately $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. On November 30, 2004, CIB Marine sold CIB — Chicago and this borrowing and the interest rate swap were assumed by the purchaser.
In 2004, the Federal Reserve Bank began requiring three of CIB Marine’s bank subsidiaries to pledge securities in order to have access to the Fed Discount window as a result of the deterioration in the financial condition of CIB Marine and these subsidiary banks.
Junior Subordinated Debentures

CIB Marine has formed four statutory business trusts (“Trusts”) for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and investing the proceeds thereof in junior subordinated debentures of CIB Marine. The trust preferred securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by CIB Marine. The Trusts used the proceeds from issuing trust preferred securities and the issuance of its common securities to CIB Marine to purchase the junior subordinated debentures. Interest on the debentures and distributions on the trust preferred securities are payable either quarterly or semi-annually in arrears. CIB Marine has the right, at any time, as long as there are no continuing events of default, to defer payments of interest on the debentures for consecutive periods not exceeding five years; but not beyond the stated maturity of the debentures. As a result of the agreement entered into with its regulator, CIB Marine has elected to defer all such interest payments subsequent to December 31, 2003. Throughout the deferral period, interest on the debentures continues to accrue. In addition, interest also accrues on all interest that was not paid when due, compounded quarterly or semi-annually. During the deferral period, CIB Marine may not pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make
93
a liquidation payment on its stock, or make any payment of principal, interest or premium, or redeem any similar debt securities of CIB Marine, subject to certain limitations. The trust preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the debentures at maturity or their earlier redemption. The trust preferred securities qualify as regulatory capital, subject to regulatory limitations.
On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule allowing the continued limited inclusion of trust preferred securities in the Tier 1 equity capital. The ruling restricted the total Tier 1 capital elements, including trust preferred securities, to 25% of total Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability. At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine included approximately $31.0 million of trust preferred securities in total Tier 1 capital. In connection with the sale of CIB — Chicago, CIB Marine pledged the stock of Central Illinois Bank to the purchaser to secure certain indemnification obligations with respect to CIB Marine’s trust preferred securities.

Note 13 — Stockholders’ Equity
Receivables from Sale of Stock
Loans not sufficiently collateralized by assets other than CIB Marine stock and made by CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks to borrowers who used the proceeds to acquire CIB Marine stock are accounted for as a reduction of stockholders’ equity and recorded as receivables from sale of stock, unless the loan had been repaid prior to the issuance of the financial statements. Prior to the issuance of the December 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements certain of these loans were repaid and, therefore, are classified as loans within these consolidated financial statements. The amount of such repaid loans was $1.0 million in 2001, $0.5 million in 2002, $1.5 million in 2003, and $0.6 million in 2004 prior to the issuance of the December 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements. The balances of loans classified as receivables from sale of stock totaled $0.9 million and $5.2 million as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Interest earned on these loans was $0.2 million in 2004, $0.3 million in 2003 and $0.5 million in 2002 and is included in interest and dividend income-loans and discontinued operations as appropriate.
94
Treasury Stock
Certain subsidiary banks of the Company acquired CIB Marine stock through collection efforts when the borrowers defaulted on loans. These shares are included in treasury stock at the lower of the loan balance or the estimated fair market value of CIB Marine’s stock at time of acquisition. Any loan balance in excess of the estimated fair market value of the stock and other collateral received was charged to the allowance for loan losses. During 2004 and 2003, CIB Marine acquired 137,002 and 86,611 shares at a cost of $0.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively. In conjunction with the sale of CIB — Chicago, CIB Marine sold 210,950 shares with a book value of $2.6 million and recorded a $1.8 million reduction in its retained earnings. Treasury Stock was $0.2 million and $2.2 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Regulatory Capital
CIB Marine and its subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Pursuant to federal holding company and bank regulations, CIB Marine and each bank subsidiary is assigned to a capital category. The assigned capital category is largely determined by three ratios that are calculated in accordance with specific instructions included in the regulations: total risk adjusted capital, Tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the bank subsidiaries must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the bank’s assets and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The banks’ 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, the bank subsidiaries must maintain total risk adjusted capital, Tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios of 10.0%, 6.0% and 5.0%, respectively.
There are five capital categories defined in the regulations: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. Classification of a subsidiary 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 December 31, 2004, pursuant to FDIC regulations in 12 C.F.R. Part 325 Marine FSB was classified as well capitalized and Central Illinois Bank, Marine — Wisconsin, CIB — Indiana and Citrus Bank were each categorized as adequately capitalized. While those banks classified as adequately capitalized met the capital ratio criteria of a well capitalized bank at December 31, 2004, they were each subject to a cease and desist order or written agreement as of that date, and pursuant to the FDIC regulations, a bank that is subject to any written agreement or order to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure cannot be classified as well capitalized.
On January 30, 2003, CIB Marine’s bank subsidiary, CIB — Chicago, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “Memorandum”) with the DBRE and the FDIC. The Memorandum was entered into as a result of the deterioration in the credit quality of the loan portfolio, the level of concentrations of credit, and weaknesses in the credit administration process identified during the DBRE’s regular examination of CIB — Chicago, which commenced on August 31, 2002.
Pursuant to the Memorandum, CIB — Chicago agreed to take certain actions to correct the deficiencies noted within the examination report. In addition, during the period in which the Memorandum was in effect, CIB — Chicago agreed to maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital level equal to or exceeding 8% of the bank’s total assets. In the event such ratio was less than 8% as of June 30 or December 31 of each calendar year the Memorandum was in effect, the bank was required within 30 days thereof to submit to the regulators a plan for the augmentation of the bank’s capital accounts. Also, unless prior written consent was received from the regulators, CIB — Chicago agreed to restrict its loan growth to no more than 2% during any consecutive three month period and suspend the declaration or payment of dividends. The Memorandum was superseded by a Cease and Desist Order.
In the second quarter of 2004, CIB Marine entered into a Written Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Federal Reserve Bank and CIB — Chicago, Central Illinois Bank, Marine — Wisconsin and CIB — Indiana each consented to the issuance of Cease and Desist Orders (“Orders”) with banking regulatory authorities. See Note 24 — Subsequent Events for further information. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2004, Citrus Bank entered into a Written Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Among other items, the Orders and Agreements restrict the payment of cash dividends without prior written consent from the regulators and require the banks to maintain a Tier 1 leverage Capital level equal to or exceeding 8% of the bank’s total assets. The Agreement with the OCC also requires Citrus Bank to maintain a total capital ratio of not less than 14%. These restrictions are in force until such Orders and Agreements are terminated. In the event the capital ratio at any calendar quarter end with respect to each such bank is less than required under the Orders and Agreement, the bank is required within 90 days to increase its capital ratio as of the end of that preceding quarterly period to the minimum stated in the Orders and Agreement. Failure to comply with the Orders or Agreements could have a material adverse effect on CIB Marine and its operations. As of December 31, 2003, CIB — Chicago had
95
capital below the 8% minimum, and during 2004, Central Illinois Bank fell below the 8% minimum. In the fourth quarter of 2004, CIB — Chicago was sold and a portion of the proceeds were used by CIB Marine to add capital into Central Illinois Bank, allowing it to meet the regulatory requirement. As of December 31, 2003, CIB Marine’s total capital to risk weighted assets ratio was below the 8% minimum required to be adequately capitalized. As of December 31, 2004, the capital level of CIB Marine and each of its subsidiary banks exceeded the minimum levels required by the Orders and Agreements.
The actual and required capital amounts and ratios for CIB Marine and its bank subsidiaries are presented in the tables below.

The payment of dividends by banking subsidiaries is subject to regulatory restrictions by various federal and/or state regulatory authorities. In the first quarter of 2004, based on unadjusted retained earnings, CIB Marine received a $4.0 million dividend payment from one of its subsidiary banks. At December 31, 2004, there were no retained earnings of the banking subsidiaries available for the payment of dividends to CIB Marine. Pursuant to the Orders and Agreements, and throughout such time as the Orders and Agreements remain in effect, these subsidiary banks may not pay a dividend to CIB Marine and CIB Marine cannot declare or pay dividends without first obtaining the consent of the regulators. In addition, dividends paid by bank subsidiaries are further limited if the effect would result in a bank subsidiary’s capital being reduced below applicable minimum capital amounts. CIB Marine, subject to its agreement with the Federal Reserve Board, is also not permitted to pay a dividend without advance approval from the Federal Reserve Board.
Federal Deposit Insurance
As FDIC-insured institutions, each of CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks are required to pay deposit insurance premiums based on the risk each poses to the FDIC insurance funds. The FDIC has the authority to raise or lower assessment rates on insured deposits in order to achieve certain designated reserve ratios in the insurance funds and to impose special additional assessments. The FDIC has adopted a premium rate schedule, which provides for an assessment range of 0% to 0.27% of domestic deposits, depending on the capital category and supervisory category to which it is assigned. The FDIC may increase or decrease the assessment rate schedule on a semi-annual basis. The FDIC is also authorized to terminate an institution’s deposit insurance upon a finding by the FDIC that the institution’s financial condition is unsafe or unsound or that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or has violated any applicable rule, regulation, order or condition enacted or imposed by the institution’s regulatory agency. The termination of deposit insurance for CIB Marine’s banks would have a material adverse effect on CIB Marine. In addition to its insurance assessment, each insured institution is subject to quarterly debt service assessments in connection with bonds issued by the government corporation that financed the federal savings and loan bailout. As of December 31, 2004, the assessment rate for Central Illinois Bank and Marine — Wisconsin was 0.10%, CIB — Indiana was 0.03% and the other banks were 0%. The quarterly debt service assessment rate was 0.0146%.

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. Fees received to issue standby letters of credit are deferred and recognized as noninterest income over the term of the commitment. The guarantees frequently support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper issuances, bond funding, and other similar transactions.CIB Marine issues commercial letters of credit on behalf of customers to ensure payments or collection in connection with trade transactions. In the event of a customer’s nonperformance, CIB Marine’s credit loss exposure is the same as in any extension of credit, up to the letter’s contractual amount. Management assesses the borrower’s financial condition to determine the necessary collateral, which may include marketable securities, real estate, accounts receivable and inventory. Since the conditions requiring CIB Marine to fund letters of credit may not occur, CIB Marine expects its future cash requirements to be less than the total outstanding commitments. The maximum potential future payments guaranteed by CIB Marine under standby letter of credit arrangements at December 31, 2004, is approximately $11.6 million with a weighted average term of approximately 10 months. CIB Marine has accrued liabilities of $0.7 million and $15.7 million for probable losses related to standby letters of credit at December 31, 2004 and 2003, 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.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. CIB Marine evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness and determines the amount of the collateral necessary based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventories, property and equipment, and real estate.
CIB Marine has no derivative financial instruments held or issued for trading purposes. The derivative financial instruments with which CIB Marine is involved are utilized for purposes of asset/liability management to modify the existing market risk characteristics of certain hedged assets and liabilities and are predominately comprised of interest rate swaps. An interest rate swap agreement involves the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payment obligations based on the underlying notional principal amounts. The amounts subject to market and credit risks are the streams of interest payments under the agreements and not the notional principal amounts, which are used only to express the volume of the transactions. CIB Marine’s credit risk on a swap agreement is limited to nonperformance of the counterparty’s obligations under the terms of the swap agreement. CIB Marine deals exclusively with counterparties that have high credit ratings,and based on management’s assessments, all counterparties were expected to meet any outstanding obligations as of December 31, 2004.
98
CIB Marine had $15.0 million notional value of receive fixed/pay floating interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2004 used to hedge fixed rate deposits with matching interest payment frequencies, maturities, option features and amounts. As of December 31, 2004, these swaps did not receive Fair Value Hedge accounting treatment under SFAS 133. CIB Marine had $6.0 million notional value of pay fixed/receive floating interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2004 used to hedge fixed rate loans. These swaps are accounted for as Fair Value Hedges under SFAS 133 as of December 31, 2004. Market value changes during the period of the interest rate swaps and the hedge assets are reflected in other noninterest income in the statement of operations.
At December 31, 2003, CIB Marine had $82.9 million in forward sale agreements outstanding with a fair market value of approximately ($0.2) million, and $67.7 million outstanding in commitments to extend mortgage loans with interest rate locks, with a fair market value of approximately $0.2 million. Market value changes during the period are reflected in noninterest income in the statement of operations. There were no forward sale agreements at December 31, 2004.
The fair value of derivatives that fail to qualify as a hedge and the ineffective position of derivatives that do qualify as a hedge is charged to other expense or credited to other income in the period of the change in fair value. Such amounts charged to income (expense) in 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $(0.02) million, $0.05 million, ($0.07) million, respectively.
Note 17 — Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, CIB Marine has various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. CIB Marine is not currently involved in any material pending legal proceedings other than the following:
In August 2003, Keith Burchett, a shareholder of CIB Marine and a borrower of CIB – Chicago, commenced an action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, against CIB Marine, Central Illinois Bank, CIB – Chicago and two of their now former directors and/or officers for damages arising out of alleged fraudulent misrepresentations relative to the financial condition of Canron and its principal shareholder by defendants to induce the plaintiff to borrow money from CIB – Chicago and make a $0.5 million investment in Canron. Plaintiff asserts claims for fraud and shareholder remedies. The shareholder remedies action alleges the defendants’ violations of lending regulations caused a decline in the plaintiff’s investment in CIB Marine. Plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages, requests an order requiring CIB Marine and the banks to repurchase his CIB Marine shares of stock at fair value, and other forms of relief. While the outcome of these claims cannot be determined at this time, CIB Marine intends to vigorously defend this action. Central Illinois Bank has been removed as a defendant in subsequent amended complaints filed by the plaintiff. On November 30, 2004, CIB Marine sold CIB – Chicago.
In June 2004, Central Illinois Bank commenced an action in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit, Champaign County, Illinois, against John C. Hadley and Mary Lydia Hadley, CIB Marine’s largest individual shareholders, for damages arising out of the Hadleys’ default in December 2003 of certain loan obligations (the “State Litigation”) and subsequently obtained a confession of judgment. The loans approximate $9.7 million plus interest and attorneys fees and are secured by CIB Marine stock and the accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other personal property of the borrowers and their restaurant supply and coin businesses. In December 2004, the Hadleys consented to the entry of an order for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of Illinois (the “Bankruptcy Case”). The claims and counterclaims filed in the State Litigation have been stayed. On January 30, 2006, Central Illinois Bank filed an adversary proceeding in the bankruptcy case seeking a determination that Central Illinois Bank’s claim against the Hadleys is not dischargeable. On March 13, 2006, the Hadleys filed a counterclaim against Central Illinois Bank in the dischargeability adversary proceeding that sought to recover $35.0 million in actual damages and punitive damages for the alleged loss or substitution by Central Illinois Bank of certain rare coins and collectibles which the Hadleys alleged were pledged to the bank as collateral, sought to recover certain alleged preferential transfers and sought to equitably subordinate the bank’s claim to those of unsecured creditors. Central Illinois Bank filed an answer to the counterclaim denying the material allegations of the Hadleys. Following a hearing on November 15, 2006, the court in the Bankruptcy Case entered an order on November 27, 2006, conditionally approving the settlement agreement between Central Illinois Bank and the Hadleys that provides for dismissal of the adversary complaint and counterclaims with prejudice and without admitting any fault or liability; the exchange of mutual general releases of claims among the Hadleys, Central Illinois Bank and its parent and affiliated corporations; preserving only the Hadleys’ claims as members of a putative plaintiff class in an action currently pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin entitledDennis Lewis, et al. v. CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc., et al., Case No. 05-C-1008 or as individual plaintiffs in an “opt out” action against some or all of the same parties alleging substantially the same claims; the discharge, waiver, release or assignment by Central Illinois Bank to the Hadleys’ bankruptcy estate, at the Hadleys’ option, of the bank’s proof of claim; the return by Central Illinois Bank to the Hadleys’ bankruptcy estate of all collateral security and the payment by Central Illinois Bank of $1.75 million. The order approving the settlement is subject to the condition that the Hadleys advise the Bankruptcy Court that they have verified certain representations and warranties set forth in the settlement agreement during the 30-day period prescribed in the order. The settlement is subject to approval of the Central Illinois Bank’s regulators.
In June 2004, John C. Ruedi, a former employee of CIB Marine, filed an action against CIB Marine and “Central Illinois Bancorp,
99
Inc.” in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial District, Champaign County, Illinois for rescission or damages, including punitive damages, in connection with plaintiff’s October 1, 2002 exercise of options issued by CIB Marine to acquire 36,688 shares of CIB Marine common stock at various exercise prices. Plaintiff claims that but for CIB Marine’s and Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc.’s alleged fraudulent concealment of material facts regarding the financial condition of CIB Marine he would not have exercised his options. Plaintiff also seeks to recover from Central Illinois Bancorp, Inc. and CIB Marine in excess of $40,000 allegedly due Plaintiff pursuant to a purported memorandum providing for the payment of an incentive to Plaintiff in connection with his employment. In March 2005, Plaintiff amended his complaint to add the former President and CEO of CIB Marine as a defendant based upon claims of alleged fraudulent concealment. (Claims filed in the action against KPMG LLP and a now retired partner of KPMG were voluntarily dismissed by the Plaintiff.) CIB Marine filed a motion to dismiss several of Plaintiff’s claims and answered the others denying liability. That motion to dismiss was denied and CIB Marine answered the remaining counts against it, denying liability. Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment seeking recovery of $40,000 from CIB Marine on his incentive payment claim. This motion was denied. All discovery has been stayed in this action by an order of the federal court in the Dennis Lewis case described later in this section, with the result that this suit is currently dormant. Plaintiff has filed a motion in the Lewis case to vacate the discovery stay in this case. No date has been set for a ruling on that motion, which CIB Marine and the other defendants in the Lewis case opposed. While the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot be determined at this time, CIB Marine intends to vigorously defend the action.
On June 3, 2005, a first consolidated complaint was filed by Dennis Lewis, a shareholder, and other alleged shareholders of CIB Marine in the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois, Urbana Division, against CIB Marine, certain of its current and former officers and directors, and KPMG LLP. The filing consolidated two actions that had been filed in January 2005: one filed by Lewis in the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois, Urbana Division and another filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois, Peoria Division by Elaine Sollberger, a purported shareholder, whose claims were voluntarily dismissed in connection with the consolidation, and have not been reasserted in the consolidated complaint. Plaintiffs sought to maintain the action as a class action on behalf of all persons who purchased common stock of CIB Marine between April 12, 1999, and April 12, 2004, claiming violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder by CIB Marine and other defendants and liability of certain defendants other than CIB Marine and KPMG under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act as controlling persons. The substance of the complaint is that the financial condition of CIB Marine was overstated with the result that members of the purported class acquired their CIB Marine stock at inflated prices. Plaintiffs seek money damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and costs. The federal court in Urbana, Illinois granted the motion of CIB Marine and several other defendants to transfer the action to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, sitting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the action is now pending.
All defendants moved to dismiss the action on various grounds. On October 12, 2006 the court denied CIB Marine’s motion to dismiss, granted in part the motions to dismiss filed by the individual defendants and granted the motion to dismiss filed by KPMG. CIB Marine and the individual defendants have filed answers to the pending complaint denying any liability. An additional person has moved to intervene as a plaintiff in the action. On November 10, 2006, plaintiffs filed a further amended complaint as to KPMG, which KPMG has stated it intends to move to dismiss. As a result of the filing of the initial motions to dismiss, all discovery in this action was stayed automatically. Plaintiffs have moved to vacate that stay of discovery, which all defendants opposed based on KPMG’s pending motion to dismiss the further amended complaint filed by plaintiffs against KPMG. The court has not set a date to rule on the motion to vacate the stay of discovery. CIB Marine intends to vigorously contest certification of any class action and to otherwise vigorously defend this action. The ultimate outcome of this action cannot be determined at this time.
In April 2005, James Fasano and Thomas Arundel, shareholders of CIB Marine and borrowers of CIB – Chicago, commenced an action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, against CIB Marine, CIB – Chicago and two of their now former directors and/or officers for damages arising out of alleged fraudulent misrepresentations relative to the financial condition of Canron and its principal shareholder to induce the plaintiffs to borrow $0.5 million from CIB – Chicago and invest it in Canron. Plaintiffs assert claims for fraud and shareholder remedies. The shareholder remedies action alleges the defendants’ violations of lending regulations caused a decline in the plaintiffs’ investment in CIB Marine. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages, request an order requiring CIB Marine and the bank to repurchase their CIB Marine shares of stock at fair value, and other forms of relief. While the outcome of these claims cannot be determined at this time, CIB Marine intends to vigorously defend this action. On November 30, 2004, CIB Marine sold CIB – Chicago.
In December 2003, CIB – Chicago acquired the title to a commercial office building that was being converted into residential condominiums. The property was acquired through a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure Settlement Agreement (“DIL Agreement”) from a borrower who was in default on its obligation. The property was included in foreclosed properties at December 31, 2003. Pursuant to the DIL Agreement, CIB – Chicago acquired the property subject to the first lien held by an outside financial institution and assumed the borrower’s financial obligation relating to that first lien. At December 31, 2003, the assumed financial obligation was reported as an outstanding non-recourse mortgage note payable. During the second quarter of 2004, CIB – Chicago transferred all of its rights, title and interest in the property, along with the borrower’s obligation under the related mortgage note, to the first lien holder.
100
CIB – Chicago transferred the property based upon its evaluation that the amount of additional funds necessary to complete the project was greater than the financial benefits and risks associated therewith. The property was transferred without any further liability or obligation to the first lien position holder and CIB – Chicago reserved its legal rights to pursue the borrower and guarantors. The transfer to the first lien holder resulted in no additional gain or loss to CIB Marine. During 2003, CIB Marine charged-off $41.7 million of the loan to its allowance for loan losses with respect to this borrowing relationship and also recorded a $1.5 million market value write down on the property. In July 2004, CIB – Chicago commenced litigation in the United States District Court for the Northern District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, against the borrower, guarantors and their related interests for collection of the losses incurred by CIB Marine based upon state law claims of breach of agreements, fraud, conversion and other theories of recovery, including Federal RICO violations. In November 2004, CIB – Chicago assigned the loans and claims related to this development to CIB Marine in conjunction with the sale of CIB – Chicago. In April 2005, the United States District Court dismissed the RICO claim and, as a result, lacked jurisdiction over the state law claims. In April 2005, CIB Marine commenced a CIB Marne commenced an action in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, against the defendants on the state law claims. In the event that there are any recoveries with respect to these loans and claims, CIB Marine has agreed to pay the purchaser of CIB – Chicago ten percent of any recovery after collection costs. To date, CIB Marine has not made any recoveries with respect to such loans and claims.
On April 20, 2006, Mark A. Sindecuse filed an action in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division (St. Louis) against CIB Marine, Dean M. Katsaros (“Katsaros”), a former director of the Company, and Katsaros & Associates, Inc. The complaint purports to assert common law causes of action against CIB Marine for fraud and negligent misrepresentation in connection with plaintiff’s purchases of common stock of CIB Marine in private placements in 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998. Additional claims are asserted against the other defendants. Plaintiff seeks compensatory damages of an out-of-pocket loss of “over $500,000 plus interest on his loans and loss of use of his money” and the plaintiff seeks damages of approximately $2,000,000 for “the difference between the value when [plaintiff] attempted to sell his stock and its present value.” Plaintiff also seeks unspecified punitive damages. CIB Marine and Katsaros have filed motions to dismiss the complaint. The court has set a schedule for this case that provides for trial to commence on October 15, 2007. CIB Marine intends to defend the action vigorously.
CIB Marine and the individual defendants in the Ruedi, Burchett, Fasano/Arundel and Lewis cases described above, are insureds under a policy that on its face purports to provide coverage for those cases, including the costs of defense (payment of which by the insured reduces the remaining coverage under the policy), which include attorneys’ fees. With respect to the Ruedi and Lewis cases the insurer has reserved all rights and notified CIB Marine and the other insureds of potential grounds to deny coverage. After CIB Marine exhausted the retention under that policy, the insurer paid substantially all of the costs of defense of CIB Marine and the individual defendants in the Ruedi and Lewis cases through February 17, 2006 subject to its reservation of rights to seek reimbursement. On that date the insurer informed the insureds of its intention to terminate any further funding of the costs of defense. Negotiations ensued and CIB Marine has reached an agreement in principle with the insurer, which has not yet been reduced to a binding written agreement, providing that the insurer will pay 35% of the costs of defense of the Ruedi and Lewis cases incurred by CIB Marine and the individual defendants and CIB Marine will pay the remaining 65% of those reasonable costs subject to its reservation of rights to seek reimbursement. With respect to the individual defendants, the payment of these defense costs by CIB Marine is pursuant to the provision of its by-laws that mandates advancing defense costs of directors and officers under certain circumstances. The advances to individuals are subject to repayment by the individual defendants if it is ultimately determined, as provided in the by-laws and applicable Wisconsin law, that they are not entitled to be indemnified. The agreement in principle with the insurer provides that either CIB Marine or the insurer can terminate the funding arrangement under certain circumstances. In the event of termination, CIB Marine would be responsible for all of the reasonable costs of defense of CIB Marine and the individual defendants in the Ruedi and Lewis cases. Defense costs in the other cases submitted for coverage continue to be paid by the insurer subject to the insurer’s reservation of rights under the policy. CIB Marine is not advancing the defense costs of any individual defendant in any of the other cases referred to above except that it is advancing the defense costs of defendant Katsaros in the Sindecuse case pursuant to the mandatory advancement by-law described in this paragraph.
It is not possible to estimate the amount or timing of the defense costs that will be paid by CIB Marine from and after February 17, 2006 in the Ruedi and Lewis cases or in the other cases described above. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those described in the preceding forward-looking statement and affect the amount and timing of the expenses referred to with respect to the Ruedi and Lewis cases: (1) the federal court’s decision on whether to vacate the existing stays of discovery and, if one or both stays are vacated, the scope of discovery that is allowed by the court and/or requested by the plaintiffs; (2) the extent, if any, to which the Lewis case is allowed to proceed as a class action; (3) the scope of discovery pursued by the plaintiffs (and the timing and substance of the court’s rulings on any objections thereto by defendants) when discovery proceeds irrespective of the existing stays of discovery; (4) whether plaintiffs are able to state a cause of action against KPMG and, if so, what actions KPMG takes in defense of the claim against it; (5) the extent to which CIB Marine and the individual defendants and their respective counsel are able to coordinate their defense of the action and in particular minimize duplication of activities in defense of the case; (6) if the funding arrangement is finally agreed to by CIB Marine, the individual defendants and the insurer, the insurer’s determinations of what services and costs are reasonable and appropriate under the insurer’s guidelines for paying the costs of
101
defense; (7) CIB Marine’s determination of what costs of defense are “reasonable” within the meaning of its by-laws and any claims made by individual defendants whose costs of defense may be rejected in whole or in part on that ground; (8) the occurrence of circumstances that would lead either CIB Marine or the insurer to terminate the funding arrangement described above if in fact a definitive agreement is entered into; and (9) the extent to which any individual defendant whose costs of defense are advanced by CIB Marine is ultimately required to repay those costs and, if so, the ability of that person to make repayment.
Note 18 — Stock Option Plans
CIB Marine has a nonqualified stock option and incentive plan for its employees and directors. At December 31, 2004, options to purchase 844,399 shares were available for future grant. The plan provides for the options to be exercisable over a ten-year period beginning one year from the date of the grant, provided the participant has remained in the employ of, or on the Board of Directors of CIB Marine and/or one of its subsidiaries. The plan also provides that the exercise price of the options granted may not be less than 100% of fair market value on the option grant date. Options vest over five years.

Note 19 — Other Benefit Plans
CIB Marine provides a defined contribution 401(k) plan to all employees of CIB Marine and its subsidiaries who have attained age 18. Employees enter the plan on the first entrance date after their start date. Entrance dates are January 1 and July 1 of each year. The plan permits participants to make voluntary tax deferred contributions up to the maximum permitted by law. Participants age 50 or older are allowed to make a stated amount of additional contributions on a tax deferred basis as permitted by law. In calendar year 2002, CIB Marine did not match employee contributions. In 2003, CIB Marine matched employee contribution up to 1% of compensation. During the first quarter of 2004, CIB Marine suspended the matching contribution. In 2005, CIB Marine reinstated and increased the matching contribution up to 3% of compensation. The total expenses incurred for employer matching contributions to the plan were $0.1 million in 2004, $0.3 million in 2003, and $0.0 million in 2002. All administrative costs to maintain the plan are paid by the plan.
102
CIB Marine has an employee stock ownership plan for the benefit of employees who attain a certain number of hours worked and length of service.

In the first quarter of 2004, CIB Marine suspended contributions to the ESOP and does not currently have any plan to reinstate such contributions. CIB Marine made contributions in 2004, 2003 and 2002 of $0.0 million, $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Contributions are discretionary and are determined annually by the Board of Directors. The administrative costs to maintain the plan are paid by the plan.

With respect to continuing and discontinued operations, there were U.S. federal net operating loss, capital loss and charitable contribution carryforwards of approximately $128.5 million and $21.6 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and state net operating loss, capital loss and charitable contribution carryforwards of approximately $221.0 million and $101.2 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In 2004, the sale of CIB — Chicago resulted in a capital loss of $73.2 million. The net operating loss carryforwards will expire in varying amounts between 2007 and 2024. $13.5 million of the U.S. federal and $22.4 million of the state net operating loss carryforwards were acquired in connection with the Canron acquisition. Canron had total U.S. federal loss carryforwards of $15.5 million and $13.4 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and state loss carryforwards of $27.0 million and $31.6 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Included in the approximately $128.5 million of carryforwards at December 31, 2004 are $76.6 million of capital loss carryforwards, of which $2.1 million is attributable to Canron. The capital loss carryforwards expire in 2008 and 2009. Excluded from the approximately $128.5 million of carryforwards at December 31, 2004 are U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $36.1 million, state net operating loss carryforwards of $27.3 million and capital loss carryforwards of $2.5 million which were allocated to sold subsidiaries and are no longer available to the company.
CIB Marine had Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) credit carryforwards of $0.7 million and $1.0 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. $0.1 million of the AMT credit carryforward was acquired in connection with the Canron acquisition. There were also $1.0 million and $0.7 million of General Business Credit carryforwards in 2004 and 2003, respectively, which will expire in varying amounts between 2007 and 2009. Excluded from the above, are AMT credit carryforwards of $0.5 million and General Business Credit carryforwards of $0.3 million were allocated to sold subsidiaries and are no longer available to the company.
Realization of the net deferred tax assets over time is dependent upon the existence of taxable income in carryback periods or CIB Marine generating sufficient taxable earnings in future periods. In determining whether the realization of the net deferred tax asset was more likely than not, CIB Marine gave consideration to a number of factors including its recent earnings history, its expectations for earnings in the future, including tax planning strategies and, where applicable, the expiration dates associated with tax carryforwards.
Due to the significant losses in 2004 and the expectation of additional losses in 2005 and 2006, management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2004 will be realized in their entirety. As of December 31, 2004, no U.S. federal or state loss carryback potential remains. Therefore, a valuation allowance has been provided by way of a charge to federal and state tax expense to reduce the net U.S. federal and state deferred tax asset to zero.
In 2002 through 2004, valuation allowances have been established against state deferred tax assets for those entities which have state net operating loss carryforwards in which management believes that it is not more likely than not that the state deferred tax assets will be realized.
104
The net deferred tax asset comprised primarily of net operating loss carryforwards before valuation allowance of companies held for disposal as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $8.8 million and $8.2 million, respectively. Management does not believe that it is more likely than not that these net deferred assets will be realized in their entirety. Therefore, valuation allowances have been set up against these net deferred tax assets in the amount of $8.7 million and $8.2 million for 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Like many financial institutions with banking operations in Wisconsin, CIB Marine’s Wisconsin bank subsidiary is under audit by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (“WDOR”) relative to its Nevada investment subsidiary. CIB Marine believes it complied with Wisconsin law and that it is not liable for any taxes or interest that the WDOR may claim. At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine has an accrued liability including interest of $0.1 million. CIB Marine has not made a decision as to whether it will contest the matter or settle with the WDOR, however, CIB Marine does not expect resolution of this matter to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows beyond the amounts accrued.

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 is significant.
Because of the wide range of valuation techniques and the numerous estimates that must be made, it may be difficult to make reasonable comparisons of CIB Marine’s fair value to that of other financial institutions. It is important that the many uncertainties discussed above be considered when using the estimated fair value disclosures and to realize that because of these uncertainties the aggregate fair value should in no way be construed as representative of the underlying value of CIB Marine.
The following describes the methodology and assumptions used to estimate fair value of financial instruments required by SFAS 107.
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.
Available for Sale Securities
The estimated fair values of securities by type are provided in the securities available for sale note to the consolidated financial statements. These are based on quoted market prices, when available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities or carrying values.
Loans Held for Sale
The fair value of loans held for sale, primarily conventional residential mortgage loans, are estimated using quoted market prices of similar loans. If a quoted market price is unavailable, the fair value is estimated using reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections.
Loans Receivable
For loans that reprice frequently, the carrying value approximates their value. The fair values of all other loans receivable were estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and maturities. The carrying value and the fair value of loans receivable is net of the allowance for loan losses.
106
Accrued Interest Receivable
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.
Deposit Liabilities
The carrying value of deposits with no stated maturity approximates their fair value as they are payable on demand. The estimated fair value of fixed time deposits is based on discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rates used in these analyses are based on market rates of alternative funding sources currently available for similar remaining maturities.
Short-term Borrowings
The carrying value of short-term borrowings payable within 3 months or less approximates their fair value. The estimated fair value of borrowed funds with a maturity greater than 3 months is based on quoted market prices, when available. Debt for which quoted prices were not available was valued using cash flows discounted at a current market rate for similar types of debt. For purposes of this disclosure, short-term borrowings are those borrowings with stated final maturities of less than or equal to one year, including securities sold under agreements to repurchase, U.S. Treasury tax and loan notes, lines of credit, commercial paper and other similar borrowings.
Long-term Borrowings
The carrying value of long-term borrowings payable within 3 months or less approximates their fair value. The estimated fair value of borrowed funds with a maturity greater than 3 months is based on quoted market prices, when available. Debt for which quoted prices were not available was valued using cash flows discounted at a current market rate for similar types of debt. For purposes of this disclosure, long-term borrowings are those borrowings with stated final maturity of more than one year, including Federal Home Loan Bank advances with stated final maturity of more than one year. Notwithstanding their stated final maturity of more than one year, junior subordinated debentures are excluded from long-term borrowings.
Junior Subordinated Debentures
The estimated fair value of junior subordinated debentures is based on quoted market prices, when available. Debt for which quoted prices were not available was valued using cash flows discounted at a current market rate for similar types of debt.
Accrued Interest Payable
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.
Off-Balance Sheet Instruments
The fair value of commitments to extend mortgage loans to be held for sale represents the fair value of commitments to make or purchase loans, primarily conventional mortgage loans, at an agreed upon interest rate. The fair value is based upon current market quotes, when available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections.
The fair value of interest rate swaps is based upon quoted market prices, when available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated based on the net of the discounted cash flows of the fixed leg and the floating leg of the swap using as a discount rate currently existing rates available for swaps of comparable remaining term, notional value, index and counterparty credit risk.
The fair value of letters of credit and unused and open ended lines of credit have been estimated based on the equivalent fees, net of expenses, that are or would be charged for comparable transactions. The carrying value of standby letters of credit represents the unearned fees charged for those commitments.
The fair value of forward sale agreements represents the fair value of conditional forward contracts entered into to sell mortgage loans, and is related to CIB Marine’s mortgage banking activities. The fair value is based upon quoted market prices, when available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is based upon an estimate of the fair value of the forward rate agreement given current interest rates for contracts with similar notional value, and underlying assets.

Note 24 — Subsequent Events
Sale and Wind Down of Nonbank Subsidiaries
During 2005 and 2006, CIB Marine continued the wind down and divestiture of certain of its nonbank subsidiaries in order to more narrowly focus resources on its core commercial and retail banking strategies.
CIB Marine Capital, LLC.CIB Marine continued the wind down of its mezzanine lending company, CIB Marine Capital, LLC. At December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, total loans outstanding were $0.7 million as compared to $3.4 million at December 31, 2004.
Canron.In April, 2005, Canron sold its Rexdale, Ontario facility for $8.2 million. A portion of the proceeds, $2.6 million, were used to pay off the remaining balance of its debt to CIB Marine. Canron no longer owns any real estate. Canron is continuing to collect both on and off-balance sheet receivables and settle and resolve payables and claims through the voluntary liquidation process. In August, 2005, Canron authorized and began liquidation distributions to its shareholders. In 2005, Canron paid $2.1 million in capital distributions to its parent, CIB Construction, and CIB Construction paid dividends totaling $2.6 million to CIB Marine, which CIB Marine recorded as a reduction of its investment in CIB Construction. In 2006 through September, Canron paid $1.0 million in capital distributions to CIB Construction and CIB Construction paid $1.6 million in capital distributions to CIB Marine. As of December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, CIB Marine’s net investment in CIB Construction was approximately $(0.6) million and $(1.2) million, respectively.
MICR.In January 2005, CIB Marine retained the services of an investment banker to assist in the marketing and sale of MICR. The assets of MICR were sold in the fourth quarter of 2005. No gain or loss on sale was recognized.
Regulatory Orders and Agreements
In April 2005, the Cease and Desist Orders at Marine – Wisconsin and CIB – Indiana, which was merged into Marine – Wisconsin in August 2006, were each released as a result of improvements at such banks and replaced with Memoranda of Understanding, which were entered into in March 2005. Pursuant to the Memoranda, the banks agreed to maintain minimum capital levels, correct loan administration deficiencies, reduce concentrations and problem credits and not declare or pay cash dividends without regulatory approval. In April 2005, Central Illinois Bank, Marine – Wisconsin and CIB – Indiana each entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the FDIC and applicable state banking regulators as a result of deficiencies in information technology. The banks agreed to take certain actions to document and fully implement an information security program, exercise appropriate diligence in overseeing service providers arrangements, and assess, develop and implement security standards and procedures. These Memoranda were terminated in January 2006. In September 2006, the Written Agreement with Citrus Bank was terminated. Management believes that CIB Marine, Central Illinois Bank and Marine – Wisconsin have complied with the majority of the provisions of the respective Orders and Agreement and are in the process of complying with the remaining provisions.
Liquidity
During 2005 and into 2006, some of the borrowing sources customarily utilized by CIB Marine were restricted or were contingent on subsidiary bank pledges of fixed income investment securities.
FDIC Deposit Insurance Premiums
FDIC deposit insurance premiums represented $4.7 million of the $5.1 million in FDIC and state assessments in 2004. Deposit insurance premiums decreased to $1.5 million in 2005 primarily as a result of the sale of CIB – Chicago. Excluding CIB – Chicago,
112
deposit insurance premiums were $1.4 million, $1.5 million and $0.8 million in 2004, 2005 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
In October 2006 the FDIC Board of Directors approved a One-Time Assessment Credit. This credit, totaling $0.6 million for CIB Marine’s subsidiary banks, will be recorded as a credit against regular FDIC insurance premium expense beginning in January 2007 and continue until the credit is exhausted. Of the $0.6 million, an estimated $0.2 million will be used to offset the FDIC insurance premium during 2007.
Stock Options
As a result of the reduction in force program, resignations and other management and Board of Directors changes, in 2005 and the first nine months of 2006, 293,594 and 222,426 shares, respectively, of previously granted stock options lapsed and/or were surrendered and became available for future grants under CIB Marine’s 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. In September and October 2005, 523,750 options were granted to various employees of the company at an exercise price of $4.10 per share. In March 2006, 83,000 options were granted at an exercise price of $4.10 per share and on November 16, 2006, 400,750 options were granted also at an exercise price of $4.10 per share. As of November 16, 2006, there were 1,277,993 options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $8.45.
FHLB Stock Investment Activity
At December 31, 2004, CIB Marine held $13.2 million of FHLB Chicago stock. In January 2005, CIB Marine invested an additional $17.0 million because of the attractive dividend yield that had been paid in the past. Although the FHLB Chicago continued to pay dividends, the yield began to fall and in April 2005, CIB Marine sold $5.0 million of its holdings. Subsequently the FHLB Chicago Board disclosed its decision to discontinue redemption of excess, or voluntary, capital stock. Voluntary stock is stock held by members beyond the amount required as a condition of membership or to support advance borrowings. As of December 31, 2005, CIB Marine had FHLB Chicago stock with a carrying value of $25.8 million of which $25.2 million was categorized as excess or “voluntary” and $0.6 million was categorized as required.
In April 2006, the FHLB Chicago announced plans to facilitate limited stock redemption requests from its members by issuing bonds. In June 2006, the FHLB Chicago issued a limited amount of bonds to facilitate voluntary capital stock redemptions and CIB Marine sold back $9.7 million or 37% of its holdings. This represented approximately 40% of the stock CIB Marine requested to be redeemed at that time. As of September 30, 2006, CIB Marine had $16.4 million in FHLB Chicago stock, of which $0.6 million was categorized as required. The FHLB Chicago plans to facilitate the redemption of a limited amount of additional voluntary stock by December 2006 and again in 2007 and 2008, as necessary to meet member demand.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There were no disagreements or reportable events of the nature required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 304 (b) of Regulation S-K.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
CIB Marine maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls include components of internal control over financial reporting, which consists of control processes designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
CIB Marine’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2004. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2004 solely as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described in the next paragraph.
113
CIB Marine did not have sufficient or adequate policies and procedures over Information Technology (IT) change management. Specifically, CIB Marine did not have policies and procedures designed to prevent unauthorized changes to IT programs, queries and calculations. This deficiency results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of CIB Marine’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected.
Management has undertaken procedures in order to conclude that reasonable assurance exists regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements contained in this filing. Accordingly, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, CIB Marine’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
CIB Marine reported in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, that its disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as a result of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. CIB Marine began taking corrective action in 2003 to remediate these material weaknesses and reported these actions in its 2003 Form 10-K. During 2004, CIB Marine took additional action to remediate these material weaknesses, including changes to internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting. These changes in internal control are identified below and listed under the corresponding material weakness.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2004:
| (i) | | CIB Marine’s control environment did not sufficiently promote effective internal control over financial reporting, and this material weakness was a contributing factor in the development of other material weaknesses. |
| • | | The senior management and board of the company were significantly restructured, including the following; |
| o | | Hiring of a new President and CEO of CIB Marine, |
|
| o | | Hiring of a new Chief Credit Officer, |
|
| o | | Resignation of the President and CEO and the Senior Lender of CIB Chicago, |
|
| o | | Separation of Chief Credit Officer and Chief Lending Officer duties and the hiring of a new Chief Lending Officer; |
|
| o | | Appointment of a new Chairman; and |
|
| o | | Appointment of a new Director. |
| (ii) | | CIB Marine’s polices and procedures over the determination of the allowance for loan losses were not effective. |
| • | | The company completed an assessment of the grading and impairment of its commercial loan portfolio, which was validated by an independent third party; |
|
| • | | The company implemented a quarterly loan grade review process; |
|
| • | | The company engaged an independent, outside service provider to perform loan reviews at its subsidiary banks; |
|
| • | | The company implemented stricter loan underwriting standards, including procedures to analyze borrower’s global cash flow and changes to the loan approval process and limits; |
|
| • | | The company reduced the acceptable level of outstanding credit to a borrower and its related interests and took action to reduce the level of credit concentrations outstanding; and |
|
| • | | The company implemented changes to its loan workout guidelines. |
| (iii) | | CIB Marine’s policies and procedures were not effective with regard to coins, jewelry and precious metals loan collateral held, by failing to adequately appraise collateral in its possession, control access by the borrower to such collateral and periodically inspect the collateral using persons with expertise in such collateral. |
| • | | The company implemented procedures to monitor loan collateral and valuation of collateral for collateral dependent loans. |
| (iv) | | CIB Marine did not have sufficient policies and procedures to track loans secured by the common stock of CIB Marine or used by borrowers to purchase the common stock of CIB Marine. |
114
| • | | The company developed and implemented procedures to track loans secured by the common stock of CIB Marine and loans used by borrowers to purchase the common stock of CIB Marine. The company also amended its loan policy to prohibit any additional loans secured by CIB Marine common stock. |
| (v) | | CIB Marine did not have sufficient or adequate policies and procedures over Information Technology change management. |
| • | | The company revised its Information Security Policy and established Information Security Standards, including a Change Management Standard, and established an Information Security Steering Committee and a Change Review Committee. |
For the quarter ended December 31, 2004:
| (i) | | CIB Marine’s control environment did not sufficiently promote effective internal control over financial reporting, and this material weakness was a contributing factor in the development of other material weaknesses. |
