THE COMPANY
Centrue Financial Corporation
Centrue Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is a bank holding company incorporated in Delaware in 1982 for the purpose of becoming a holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Act”). The Company is a publicly traded banking company with assets of $1.4 billion at year-end 2007 and is headquartered in Ottawa, Illinois. On November 13, 2006, the Company (formerly known as UnionBancorp, Inc. now known as Centrue Financial Corporation) merged with Centrue Financial Corporation (former Centrue), parent of Centrue Bank with the Company being the surviving entity in the merger. Operating results of former Centrue are included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. As a result of this merger, the Company solidified its market share in the northern and central Illinois markets, expanded its customer base to enhance deposit fee income, marketed additional products and services to new customers and reduced operating costs through economies of scale.
The Company operates one wholly owned subsidiary: Centrue Bank (the “Bank”), employing 344 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2007. The Company has responsibility for the overall conduct, direction, and performance of its subsidiary. The Company provides various services, establishes Company-wide policies and procedures, and provides other resources as needed, including capital.
Subsidiary
At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $1.4 billion in total assets, $1.0 billion in total deposits, and 35 offices (33 full-service bank branches and 2 back-room sales support non-banking facilities) located in markets extending from the far western and southern suburbs of the Chicago metropolitan area across Central and Northern Illinois down to the metropolitan St. Louis area.
The Bank is engaged in commercial and retail banking and offers a broad range of lending, depository, and related financial services, including accepting deposits; commercial and industrial, consumer, and real estate lending; trust and asset management services; and other banking services tailored for consumer, commercial and industrial, and public or governmental customers.
Competition
The Company’s market area is highly competitive with numerous commercial banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions. In addition, financial institutions, based in surrounding communities and in the southern and western metro area of Chicago and the suburban metro area of St. Louis, actively compete for customers within the Company’s market area. The Company also faces competition from finance companies, insurance companies, mortgage companies, securities brokerage firms, money market funds, loan production offices and other providers of financial services.
The Company competes for loans principally through the range and quality of the services it provides and through competitive interest rates and loan fees. The Company believes that its long-standing presence in the communities it serves and personal service philosophy enhance its ability to compete favorably in attracting and retaining individual and business customers. The Company actively solicits deposit-related customers and competes for deposits by offering customers personal attention, professional service and competitive interest rates.

Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, effective March 2000, securities firms and insurance companies that elect to become financial holding companies may acquire banks and other financial institutions. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and future action stemming from the Act, is expected to continue to significantly change the competitive environment in which the Company and Centrue Bank conduct business. The financial services industry is also likely to become more competitive as further technological advances enable more companies to provide financial services. These technological advances may diminish the importance of depository institutions and other financial intermediaries in the transfer of funds between parties.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
Financial institutions and their holding companies are extensively regulated under federal and state law. As a result, the growth and earnings performance of the Company can be affected not only by management decisions and general economic conditions, but also by the requirements of applicable state and federal statutes and regulations and the policies of various governmental regulatory authorities, including the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (the “DFPR”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The effect of applicable statutes, regulations and regulatory policies can be significant, and cannot be predicted with a high degree of certainty.
Federal and state laws and regulations generally applicable to financial institutions, such as the Company and its subsidiary, regulate, among other things, the scope of business, investments, reserves against deposits, capital levels relative to operations, the nature and amount of collateral for loans, the establishment of branches, mergers, consolidations and dividends. The system of supervision and regulation applicable to the Company and its subsidiary establishes a comprehensive framework for their respective operations and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC’s deposit insurance funds and the depositors, rather than the shareholders, of financial institutions.
The following is a summary of the material elements of the regulatory framework that applies to the Company and its subsidiaries. It does not describe all of the statutes, regulations and regulatory policies that apply to the Company and its subsidiaries, nor does it restate all of the requirements of the statutes, regulations and regulatory policies that are described. As such, the following is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable statutes, regulations and regulatory policies. Any change in applicable law, regulations or regulatory policies may have a material effect on the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Company
General. The Company, as the sole stockholder of Centrue Bank, is a bank holding company. As a bank holding company, the Company is registered with, and is subject to regulation by, the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act, as amended (the “BHCA”). In accordance with Federal Reserve policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to Centrue Bank and to commit resources to support Centrue Bank in circumstances where the Company might not do so absent such policy. Under the BHCA, the Company is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve and is required to file with the Federal Reserve periodic reports of operations and such additional information as the Federal Reserve may require. The Company is also subject to regulation by the DFPR under the Illinois Bank Holding Company Act, as amended.

Investments and Activities. Under the BHCA, a bank holding company must obtain Federal Reserve approval before: (i) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding company if, after the acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of the shares of the other bank or bank holding company (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares); (ii) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank; or (iii) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company. Subject to certain conditions (including certain deposit concentration limits established by the BHCA), the Federal Reserve may allow a bank holding company to acquire banks located in any state of the United States without regard to whether the acquisition is prohibited by the law of the state in which the target bank is located. In approving interstate acquisitions, however, the Federal Reserve is required to give effect to applicable state law limitations on the aggregate amount of deposits that may be held by the acquiring bank holding company and its insured depository institution affiliates in the state in which the target bank is located (provided that those limits do not discriminate against out-of-state depository institutions or their holding companies) and state laws which require that the target bank have been in existence for a minimum period of time (not to exceed five years) before being acquired by an out-of-state bank holding company.
The BHCA also generally prohibits the Company from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank and from engaging in any business other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks or furnishing services to banks and their subsidiaries. This general prohibition is subject to a number of exceptions. The principal exception allows bank holding companies to engage in, and to own shares of companies engaged in, certain businesses found by the Federal Reserve to be “so closely related to banking .... as to be a proper incident thereto.” Under current regulations of the Federal Reserve, the Company is permitted to engage in a variety of banking-related businesses, including the operation of a thrift, consumer finance or equipment leasing business, the operation of a computer service bureau (including software development), and the operation of mortgage banking and brokerage businesses. The BHCA generally does not place territorial restrictions on the domestic activities of non-bank subsidiaries of bank holding companies.
In November, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLB Act”) was signed into law. Under the GLB Act, bank holding companies that meet certain standards and elect to become “financial holding companies” are permitted to engage in a wider range of activities than those permitted for bank holding companies, including securities and insurance activities. Specifically, a bank holding company that elects to become a financial holding company may engage in any activity that the Federal Reserve Board, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, determines is (i) financial in nature or incidental thereto, or (ii) complementary to any such financial-in-nature activity, provided that such complementary activity does not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. A bank holding company may elect to become a financial holding company only if each of its depository institution subsidiaries is well-capitalized, well-managed, and has a Community Reinvestment Act rating of “satisfactory” or better at their most recent examination.
The GLB Act specifies many activities that are financial in nature, including lending, exchanging, transferring, investing for others, or safeguarding money or securities; underwriting and selling insurance; providing financial, investment or economic advisory services; underwriting, dealing in, or making a market in securities; and those activities currently permitted for bank holding companies that are so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks, as to be a proper incident thereto.

The GLB Act changed federal laws to facilitate affiliation between banks and entities engaged in securities and insurance activities. The law also established a system of functional regulation under which banking activities, securities activities, and insurance activities conducted by financial holding companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates will be separately regulated by banking, securities, and insurance regulators, respectively.
Federal law also prohibits any person or company from acquiring “control” of a bank or bank holding company without prior notice to the appropriate federal bank regulator. “Control” is defined in certain cases as the acquisition of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of a bank or bank holding company.
Capital Requirements. Bank holding companies are required to maintain minimum levels of capital in accordance with Federal Reserve capital adequacy guidelines. If capital falls below minimum guideline levels, a bank holding company, among other things, may be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or non-bank businesses.
The Federal Reserve’s capital guidelines establish the following minimum regulatory capital requirements for bank holding companies: a risk-based requirement expressed as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets, and a leverage requirement expressed as a percentage of total assets. The risk-based requirement consists of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8%, at least one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital. The leverage requirement consists of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3% for the most highly rated companies, with a minimum requirement of 4% for all others. For purposes of these capital standards, Tier 1 capital consists primarily of permanent stockholders’ equity less intangible assets (other than certain mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships). Total capital consists primarily of Tier 1 capital plus certain other debt and equity instruments which do not qualify as Tier 1 capital and a portion of the company’s allowance for loan and lease losses.
The risk-based and leverage standards described above are minimum requirements. Higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or by the risk profiles of individual banking organizations. For example, the Federal Reserve’s capital guidelines contemplate that additional capital may be required to take adequate account of, among other things, interest rate risk, or the risks posed by concentrations of credit, nontraditional activities or securities trading activities. Further, any banking organization experiencing or anticipating significant growth would be expected to maintain capital ratios, including tangible capital positions (i.e., Tier 1 capital less all intangible assets), well above the minimum levels.

The risk-based capital ratio and the leverage capital ratio were 2.2% and 3.7% respectively, in excess of the Federal Reserve’s minimum requirements. See Note 16 in the Notes in Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Dividends. The Company is organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). The DGCL allows the Company to pay dividends only out of its surplus (as defined and computed in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL) or if the Company has no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.
Additionally, the Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement with regard to the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies. The policy statement provides that a bank holding company should not pay cash dividends which exceed its net income or which can only be funded in ways that weaken the bank holding company’s financial health, such as by borrowing. The Federal Reserve also possesses enforcement powers over bank holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries to prevent or remedy actions that represent unsafe or unsound practices or violations of applicable statutes and regulations. Among these powers is the ability to proscribe the payment of dividends by banks and bank holding companies.
Federal Securities Regulation. The Company’s common stock is registered with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Consequently, the Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading and other restrictions and requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act.
The SEC and the NASDAQ have adopted regulations and policies under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that will apply to Centrue Financial Corporation as a registered company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a NASDAQ-traded company. The stated goals of these Sarbanes-Oxley requirements are to increase corporate responsibility, provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The SEC and NASDAQ Sarbanes-Oxley-related regulations and policies include very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted in response to public concerns regarding corporate accountability in connection with recent accounting scandals. The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies, and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC, under Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act includes very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules requiring the SEC and securities exchanges to adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related rules, and mandates further studies of certain issues by the SEC. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees. Sarbanes-Oxley section 404 requires significant oversight of a public company’s internal control over the financial statements. For accelerated filers, the rules require them to provide management’s report on internal control over financial reporting by December 31, 2007. The rule further requires an accelerated filer to have an external auditor’s attestation report on internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. The Company incurred approximately $272,000 in additional expenses to comply with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Centrue Bank
Centrue Bank is an Illinois-chartered bank, the deposit accounts of which are insured by the FDIC. Centrue Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System (“member bank”). As an Illinois-chartered, FDIC-insured member bank, Centrue Bank is subject to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the DFPR, as the chartering authority for Illinois banks, the Federal Reserve, as the primary federal regulator of member banks, and the FDIC, as administrator of deposit insurance.
Deposit Insurance. As an FDIC-insured institution, Centrue Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC.
Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the “FDIRA”) in 2006, the previously separate deposit insurance funds for banks and savings associations were merged into a single deposit insurance fund administered by the FDIC. Centrue Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limitations by that deposit insurance fund.
Following the adoption of the FDIRA, the FDIC has the opportunity, through its rulemaking authority, to better price deposit insurance for risk than was previously authorized. The FDIC adopted regulations that create a system of risk-based assessments. Under the new regulations, there are four risk categories, and each insured institution will be assigned to a risk category based on capital levels and supervisory ratings. Well-capitalized institutions with CAMELS composite ratings of 1 or 2 will be placed in Risk Category I while other institutions will be placed in Risk Categories II, III or IV depending on their capital levels and CAMEL composite ratings. The current assessment rates established by the FDIC provide that the highest rated institutions, those in Risk Category I, will pay premiums of between 0.05% and 0.07% of deposits and the lowest rated institutions, those in Risk Category IV, will pay premiums of 0.43% of deposits. The assessment rates may be changed by the FDIC as necessary to maintain the insurance fund at the reserve ratio designated by the FDIC, which currently is 1.25% of insured deposits. The FDIC may set the reserve ratio annually at between 1.15% and 1.50% of insured deposits. Deposit insurance assessments will be collected for a quarter, at the end of the next quarter. Assessments are based on deposit balances at the end of the quarter, except for institutions with $1 billion or more in assets, such as Centrue Bank, and any institution that becomes insured on or after January 1, 2007 which will have their assessment base determined using average daily balances of insured deposits.

In 2006, the FDIC adopted a final rule allocating a one-time assessment credit among insured financial institutions. This credit may be used to offset deposit insurance assessments (not to include FICO assessments) beginning in 2007. The Company began taking advantage of this credit in 2007 and expects to realize benefit from this credit thru the second quarter of 2009.
The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution if the FDIC determines, after a hearing, that the institution (i) has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, (ii) is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or (iii) has violated any applicable law, regulation, order, or any condition imposed in writing by, or written agreement with, the FDIC. The FDIC may also suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for a permanent termination of insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital. Management of the Company is not aware of any activity or condition that could result in termination of the deposit insurance of Centrue Bank.
FICO Assessments. FDIC insured institutions are also subject to assessments to cover interest payments due on the outstanding obligations of the Financing Corporation (“FICO”). FICO was created in 1987 to finance the recapitalization of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. These FICO assessments are in addition to amounts assessed by the FDIC for deposit insurance until the final maturity of the outstanding FICO obligations in 2019. FDIC insured institutions will share the cost of the interest on the FICO bonds on a pro rata basis. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the FICO assessment rate for DIF members ranged between approximately 0.0114% of deposits and approximately 0.0122% of deposits. During the year ended December 31, 2007, Centrue Bank paid FICO assessments totaling $121,829. For the first quarter of 2008, the rate established by the FDIC for the FICO assessment is 0.0114% of deposits.
Supervisory Assessments. All Illinois banks are required to pay supervisory assessments to the DFPR to fund the operations of the DFPR. The amount of the assessment is calculated based on the institution’s total assets, including consolidated subsidiaries, as reported to the DFPR. During the year ended December 31, 2007, Centrue Bank paid supervisory assessments to the DFPR totaling $194,836.
Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve has established the following minimum capital standards for state-chartered Federal Reserve System member banks, such as Centrue Bank: a leverage requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3% for the most highly-rated banks with a minimum requirement of at least 4% for all others, and a risk-based capital requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8%, at least one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital. For purposes of these capital standards, Tier 1 capital and total capital consist of substantially the same components as Tier 1 capital and total capital under the Federal Reserve’s capital guidelines for bank holding companies (see “—The Company—Capital Requirements”).
The capital requirements described above are minimum requirements. Higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual institutions. For example, the regulations of the Federal Reserve provide that additional capital may be required to take adequate account of, among other things, interest rate risk or the risks posed by concentrations of credit, nontraditional activities or securities trading activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, Centrue Bank was not required by the Federal Reserve to increase its capital to an amount in excess of the minimum regulatory requirement. As of December 31, 2007, Centrue Bank had regulatory capital as follows:

The risk-based capital ratio and the leverage capital ratio are 3.0% and 4.3% in excess of the Federal Reserve’s minimum requirements. See Note 16 in the Notes in Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Federal law provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. The extent of the regulators’ powers depends on whether the institution in question is “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized,” in each case as defined by regulation. Depending upon the capital category to which an institution is assigned, the regulators’ corrective powers include: requiring the institution to submit a capital restoration plan; limiting the institution’s asset growth and restricting its activities; requiring the institution to issue additional capital stock (including additional voting stock) or to be acquired; restricting transactions between the institution and its affiliates; restricting the interest rate the institution may pay on deposits; ordering a new election of directors of the institution; requiring that senior executive officers or directors be dismissed; prohibiting the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks; requiring the institution to divest certain subsidiaries; prohibiting the payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt; and ultimately, appointing a receiver for the institution. As of December 31, 2007, Centrue Bank was considered well capitalized.
Additionally, institutions insured by the FDIC may be liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC in connection with the default of commonly controlled FDIC insured depository institutions or any assistance provided by the FDIC to commonly controlled FDIC insured depository institutions in danger of default.
Dividends. Under the Illinois Banking Act, Illinois-chartered banks may not pay dividends in excess of their net profits then on hand, after deducting losses and bad debts. The Federal Reserve Act also imposes limitations on the amount of dividends that may be paid by state member banks, such as Centrue Bank. Generally, a member bank may pay dividends out of its undivided profits, in such amounts and at such times as the bank’s board of directors deems prudent. Without prior Federal Reserve approval, however, a state member bank may not pay dividends in any calendar year which, in the aggregate, exceed such bank’s calendar year-to-date net income plus such bank’s retained net income for the two preceding calendar years.
The payment of dividends by any financial institution or its holding company is affected by the requirement to maintain adequate capital pursuant to applicable capital adequacy guidelines and regulations, and a financial institution generally is prohibited from paying any dividends if, following payment thereof, the institution would be undercapitalized. As described above, Centrue Bank exceeded its minimum capital requirements under applicable guidelines and had approximately $5.03 million available to be paid as dividends to the Company as of December 31, 2007. Notwithstanding the availability of funds for dividends, however, the Federal Reserve may prohibit the payment of any dividends by Centrue Bank if the Federal Reserve determines such payment would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.

Insider Transactions. Centrue Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal law on extensions of credit to the Company, on investments in the stock or other securities of the Company and the acceptance of the stock or other securities of the Company as collateral for loans. Certain limitations and reporting requirements are also placed on extensions of credit by Centrue Bank to its directors and officers, to directors and officers of the Company, to principal stockholders of the Company, and to “related interests” of such directors, officers and principal stockholders. In addition, federal law and regulations may affect the terms upon which any person becoming a director or officer of the Company or a principal stockholder of the Company may obtain credit from the banks with which Centrue Bank maintains a correspondent relationship.
Safety and Soundness Standards. The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines which establish operational and managerial standards to promote the safety and soundness of federally insured depository institutions. The guidelines set forth standards for internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, asset quality and earnings.
In general, the safety and soundness guidelines prescribe the goals to be achieved in each area, and each institution is responsible for establishing its own procedures to achieve those goals. If an institution fails to comply with any of the standards set forth in the guidelines, the institution’s primary federal regulator may require the institution to submit a plan for achieving and maintaining compliance. If an institution fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan, or fails in any material respect to implement a compliance plan that has been accepted by its primary federal regulator, the regulator is required to issue an order directing the institution to cure the deficiency. Until the deficiency cited in the regulator’s order is cured, the regulator may restrict the institution’s rate of growth, require the institution to increase its capital, restrict the rates the institution pays on deposits or require the institution to take any action the regulator deems appropriate under the circumstances. Noncompliance with the standards established by the safety and soundness guidelines may also constitute grounds for other enforcement action by the federal banking regulators, including cease and desist orders and civil money penalty assessments.
Branching Authority. Illinois banks, such as Centrue Bank, have the authority under Illinois law to establish branches anywhere in the State of Illinois, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals. Additionally, Centrue Bank has authority under Missouri law to establish branches anywhere in the State of Missouri, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals.
Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the “Riegle-Neal Act”), both state and national banks are allowed to establish interstate branch networks through acquisitions of other banks, subject to certain conditions, including certain limitations on the aggregate amount of deposits that may be held by the surviving bank and all of its insured depository institution affiliates. Illinois law permits interstate mergers, subject to certain conditions, including a prohibition against interstate mergers involving an Illinois bank that has been in existence and continuous operation for fewer than five years.

The establishment of new interstate branches or the acquisition of individual branches of a bank in another state (rather than the acquisition of an out-of-state bank in its entirety) is allowed by the Riegle-Neal Act only if specifically authorized by state law. Certain states permit out-of-state banks to establish de novo branches or acquire branches from another bank although the laws of some of these states require a reciprocal provision under the law of the state where the bank establishing or acquiring the branch is chartered. Illinois law permits out-of-state banks to establish branches in Illinois in this manner, and Illinois-chartered banks may branch into other states in this manner if the law of the state in which the branch will be established or acquired so authorizes even if the law of such state requires a reciprocal provision under Illinois law.
State Bank Activities. Under federal law and FDIC regulations, FDIC insured state banks are prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from making or retaining equity investments of a type, or in an amount, that are not permissible for a national bank. Federal law and FDIC regulations also prohibit FDIC insured state banks and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, from engaging as principal in any activity that is not permitted for a national bank or its subsidiary, respectively, unless the bank meets, and continues to meet, its minimum regulatory capital requirements and the FDIC determines the activity would not pose a significant risk to the deposit insurance fund of which the bank is a member.
The GLB Act also authorizes insured state banks to engage in financial activities, through subsidiaries, similar to the activities permitted for financial holding companies. If a state bank wants to establish a subsidiary engaged in financial activities, it must meet certain criteria, including that it and all of its affiliated insured depository institutions are well-capitalized and have a Community Reinvestment Act rating of at least “satisfactory” and that it is well-managed. There are capital deduction and financial statement requirements and financial and operational safeguards that apply to subsidiaries engaged in financial activities. Such a subsidiary is considered to be an affiliate of the bank and there are limitations on certain transactions between a bank and a subsidiary engaged in financial activities of the same type that apply to transactions with a bank’s holding company and its subsidiaries.
Reserve Requirement. Federal Reserve regulations, as presently in effect, require depository institutions to maintain non-interest earning reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking accounts), as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
for the first $9.3 million of net transaction accounts, there is no reserve; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
for net transaction accounts totaling over $9.3 million and up to and including $43.9 million, a reserve of 3%; and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
for net transaction accounts totaling in excess of $43.9 million, a reserve requirement of $1.038 million plus 10% against that portion of the total transaction accounts greater than $43.9 million. |
The dollar amounts and percentages reported here are all subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve. The effect of maintaining the required non-interest earning reserves is to reduce Centrue Bank’s interest earning assets.

Risk Factors |
An investment in the Company’s common stock is subject to risks inherent to the Company’s business. The material risk and uncertainties that management believes affect the Company are described below. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this report. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties that management is not aware of or focused on or that management currently deems immaterial may also impair the Company’s business operations. This report is qualified in its entirety by these risk factors. See also, “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of the Company’s common stock could decline significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business
We are subject to interest rate risk.
The Company’s earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon its net interest income. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the Company’s control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Federal Reserve. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the interest the Company receives on loans and securities and the amount of interest it pays on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also affect (i) the Company’s ability to originate loans and obtain deposits, (ii) the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, and (iii) the average duration of the Company’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio and other interest-earning assets. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, the Company’s net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affected. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and other investments fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings.
Although management believes it has implemented effective asset and liability management strategies to reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on the Company’s results of operations, any substantial, unexpected, prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Also, the Company’s interest rate risk modeling techniques and assumptions likely may not fully predict or capture the impact of actual interest rate changes on the Company’s balance sheet. See Part II sections “Net Interest Income” and “Interest Rate Risk” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” for further discussion related to the Company’s management of interest rate risk.
We are subject to lending risk.
As of December 31, 2007 approximately 76.8% of the Company’s loan portfolio consisted of commercial, financial, and agricultural, real estate construction, and commercial real estate loans (collectively, “commercial loans”). Commercial loans are generally viewed as having more inherent risk of default than residential mortgage loans or retail loans. Also, the commercial loan balance per borrower is typically larger than that for residential mortgage loans and retail loans, inferring higher potential losses on an individual loan basis. Because the Company’s loan portfolio contains a number of commercial loans with large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in nonperforming loans. An increase in nonperforming loans could result in a net loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for loan losses, and an increase in loan charge offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. See Part II “Loans” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” for further discussion of credit risks related to different loan types.
We are subject to economic conditions of our geographic market.
The Company’s success depends to a large degree on the general economic conditions of the geographic markets served by the Bank in the States of Illinois and Missouri and, to a lesser extent, contiguous states.
13.

CENTRUE FINANCIAL CORPORATION |

|
The local economic conditions on these areas have a significant impact on the generation of the Bank’s commercial, real estate commercial, and real estate construction loans; the ability of borrowers to repay these loans; and the value of the collateral securing these loans. Adverse changes in the economic conditions of the counties in which we operate could also negatively impact the financial results of the Company’s operations and have a negative effect on its profitability. For example, these factors could lead to reduced interest income and an increase in the provision for loan losses.
A portion of the loans in the Company’s portfolio is secured by real estate. Most of these loans are secured by properties located in the north central, north west, east central, south central and St. Louis’s suburban east counties of Illinois, as well as, the St. Louis metro area of Missouri. Negative conditions in the real estate markets where collateral for a mortgage loan is located could adversely affect the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and the value of the collateral securing the loan. Real estate values are affected by various factors, including changes in general or regional economic conditions, supply and demand for properties and governmental rules or policies.
Our allowance for loan losses may be insufficient.
Managing the Company’s allowance for loan losses is based upon, among other things, (1) historical experience, (2) an evaluation of local and national economic conditions, (3) regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality, (4) current trends regarding the volume and severity of past due and problem loans, (5) the existence and effect of concentrations of credit, and (6) results of regulatory examinations. Based upon such factors, management makes various assumptions and judgments about the ultimate collectibility of the respective loan portfolios. Although the Company believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate, there can be no assurance that such allowance will prove sufficient to cover future losses. Future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions change or adverse developments arise with respect to nonperforming or performing loans or if regulatory supervision changes. Material additions to the allowance for loan losses would result in a material decrease in the Company’s net income, and possibly its capital, and could result in the inability to pay dividends, among other adverse consequences.
Mergers and Acquisitions may disrupt our business and dilute stockholder value.
The Company regularly evaluates mergers and acquisition opportunities and conducts due diligence activities related to possible transactions with other financial institutions and financial services companies. As a result, negotiations may take place and future mergers or acquisitions involving cash, debt, or equity securities may occur at any time. The Company seeks merger or acquisition partners that are culturally similar, have experienced management, and possess either significant market presence or have potential for improved profitability through financial management, economies of scale, or expanded services.
Acquiring or merging with other banks, businesses, and acquiring branches involves potential adverse impact to the Company’s financial results and various other risks commonly associated with mergers and acquisitions, including, among other things:
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Difficulty in estimating the value of the target company |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Payment of a premium over book and market values that may dilute the Company’s tangible book value and earnings per share in the short and long term |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Potential exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities of the target company |

Details of the Company’s recent acquisition activity are presented in Note 2, “Business Acquisitions and Divestitures,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements within Part II, Item 8.
Our information systems may experience an interruption or breach in security.
The Company relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct its business. Any failure, interruption, or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in the Company’s customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan, and other systems. While the Company has policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the failure, interruption, or security breach of its information systems, we cannot assure you that any such failures, interruptions, or security breaches will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failures, interruptions, or security breaches of the Company’s information systems could damage the Company’s reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject the Company to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose the Company to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Associated With The Company’s Industry
We operate in a highly regulated industry.
The banking industry is heavily regulated. The banking business of the Company and the Bank are subject, in certain respects, to regulation by the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the IDFPR and the SEC. The Company’s success depends not only on competitive factors but also on state and federal regulations affecting banks and bank holding companies. The regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors, not stockholders or other security holders. The ultimate effect of recent and proposed changes to the regulation of the financial institution industry cannot be predicted. Regulations now affecting the Company may be modified at any time, and there is no assurance that such modifications, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s business.
We operate in an industry that is significantly affected by general business and economic conditions.
The Company’s operations and profitability are impacted by general business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, money supply, political issues, legislative and regulatory changes, fluctuations in both debt and equity capital markets, broad trends in industry and finance, and the strength of the U. S. economy and the local economies in which the Company operates, all of which are beyond the Company’s control. A deterioration in economic conditions could result in an increase in loan delinquencies and nonperforming assets, decreases in loan collateral values, and a decrease in demand for the Company’s products and services among other things, any of which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

At December 31, 2007, the Company operated 35 offices (32 full-service bank branches and 2 back-room sales support nonbanking facilities in Illinois and 1 full-service bank branch in Missouri). The principal offices of the Company are located in Ottawa, Illinois. All of the Company’s offices are owned by Centrue Bank and are not subject to any mortgage or material encumbrance, with the exception of four offices that are leased: one is located in LaSalle County in Illinois, one in Will County in Illinois, one in St. Clair County in Illinois and one in St. Louis County in Missouri. The Company believes that its current facilities are adequate for its existing business.

The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends as declared by the board of directors of the Company, which considers payment of dividends quarterly. Upon the consummation of the acquisition of Prairie in 1996, preferential dividends were required to be paid or accrued quarterly, with respect to the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The ability of the Company to pay dividends in the future will be primarily dependent upon its receipt of dividends from Centrue Bank. In determining cash dividends, the Board of Directors considers the earnings, capital requirements, debt and dividend servicing requirements, financial ratio guidelines it has established, financial condition of the Company and other relevant factors. Centrue Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company and the Company’s ability to pay dividends to its stockholders are also subject to certain regulatory restrictions.
The Company has paid regular cash dividends on the Common Stock since it commenced operations in 1982. There can be no assurance, however, that any such dividends will be paid by the Company or that such dividends will not be reduced or eliminated in the future. The timing and amount of dividends will depend upon the earnings, capital requirements and financial condition of the Company and Centrue Bank, as well as the general economic conditions and other relevant factors affecting the Company and its subsidiaries. In 1996, the Company entered into a new loan agreement in connection with the acquisition of Prairie and Country, replacing the Company’s prior loan agreement. The loan agreement contains no direct prohibitions against the payment by the Company of dividends, but indirectly restricts such dividends through the required maintenance of minimum capital ratios. In addition, the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the Series B Preferred Stock issued to certain of Prairie’s preferred stockholders prohibit the payment of dividends by the Company on the Common Stock during any period for which dividends on the respective series of Preferred Stock are in arrears.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934 as amended. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, and expectations of the Company, are generally identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “planned” or “potential” or similar expressions.
The Company’s ability to predict results, or the actual effect of future plans or strategies, is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and the subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates; general economic conditions; legislative/regulatory changes; monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board; the quality and composition of the loan or securities portfolios; demand for loan products; deposit flows; competition; demand for financial services in the Company’s market areas; the Company’s implementation of new technologies; the Company’s ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems; and accounting principles, policies, and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 contains a summary of our significant accounting policies. Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. Our policy with respect to the methodologies used to determine the allowance for loan losses is our most critical accounting policy. The policy is important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, and it involves a higher decree of complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments, which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions and estimates could result in material differences in our results of operations or financial condition.
The following is a description of our critical accounting policy and an explanation of the methods and assumptions underlying its application.
Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Estimating the amount of the allowance for loan losses requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the consolidated balance sheet. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors.

The allowance for loan losses is based on an estimation computed pursuant to the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” and FASB Statements Nos. 114 and 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” the analysis of the allowance for loan losses consists of three components: (i) specific credit allocation established for expected losses resulting from analysis developed through specific credit allocations on individual loans for which the recorded investment in the loan exceeds its fair value; (ii) general portfolio allocation based on historical loan loss experience for each loan category; and (iii) subjective reserves based on general economic conditions as well as specific economic factors in markets in which the Company operates.
The specific credit allocation component of the allowances for loan losses is based on an analysis of individual loans and historical loss experience for each loan category. The specific credit allocations are based on regular analysis of all loans over a fixed-dollar amount where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification. These analyses involve a high degree of judgment in estimating the amount of loss associated with specific loans, including estimating the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values.
The general portfolio allocation component of the allowance for loan losses is determined statistically using a loss analysis that examines historical loan loss experience. The loss analysis is performed quarterly and loss factors are updated regularly based on actual experience. The general portfolio allocation element of the allowance for loan losses also includes consideration of the amounts necessary for concentrations and changes in portfolio mix and volume.
There are many factors affecting the allowance for loan losses; some are quantitative while others require qualitative judgment. The process for determining the allowance (which management believes adequately considers all of the potential factors which might possibly result in credit losses) includes subjective elements and, therefore, may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differs from management estimates, additional provision for credit losses could be required that could adversely affect the Company’s earnings or financial position in future periods.
Goodwill: Costs in excess of the estimated fair value of identified assets acquired through purchase transactions are recorded as an asset of the Company. As per Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, an annual impairment analysis is required to be performed to determine if the asset is impaired and needs to be written down to its fair value. This assessment is conducted as of December 31 of each year or more frequently if conditions warrant. Per the December 31, 2007 analysis, no impairment was identified as a result of these tests. In making these impairment analyses, management must make subjective assumptions regarding the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities. It is possible that these judgments may change over time as market conditions or Company strategies change, and these changes may cause the Company to record impairment changes to adjust the goodwill to its estimated fair value.
Deferred Income Taxes: Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Results of Operations
Net Income
2007 compared to 2006. Net income equaled $11,323 or $1.74 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to net income of $5,187 or $1.20 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2006. Net income for continuing operations equaled $11,323 or $1.74 per diluted share as compared to net income of $5,602 or $1.30 per diluted share. This represents a 118.3% increase in net income and a 45.0% increase in diluted per share earnings in the current fiscal year over fiscal 2006.
The Company’s annual results for continuing operations improved in 2007 versus 2006 due to volume related increases in net interest income and other fee based revenue largely related to a full year’s operating results from the Centrue merger and organic loan growth generated in the St. Louis market. These improvements were partially offset by increases in noninterest expenses associated with operating twenty-one additional branches resulting from the merger and an increased provision for loan losses.
Return on average assets was 0.85% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 0.69% for the same period in 2006. Return on average stockholders’ equity was 9.53% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 6.69% for the same period in 2006.
2006 compared to 2005. Net income equaled $5,187 or $1.20 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to net income of $4,173 or $0.99 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2005. During the period, the Company reported a net loss of $415 or $0.10 per diluted share for discontinued operations related to the sale of the insurance line as compared to a net loss of $206 or $0.05 per diluted share for 2005.
Net income for continuing operations equaled $5,602 or $1.30 per diluted share as compared to net income of $4,379 or $1.04 per diluted share. This represents a 27.9% increase in net income and a 25.0% increase in diluted per share earnings in the current fiscal year over fiscal 2005.
The Company’s annual results for continuing operations were higher in 2006 versus 2005 due primarily to several key issues. First, due to general improvement in asset quality, the Company decreased the provision for loan losses. Second, volume related increases in net interest income and other fee based revenue largely related to operating results from the Centrue merger being recorded for the last 49 days of the year. Finally, salaries and benefit costs were lower due to a reduction in work force implemented in the fourth quarter of 2005. These were partially offset by increases in occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses related to operations for the last 49 days from the Centrue merger. In addition, performance for the full year of 2006 was negatively impacted by integration and related costs recorded in the fourth quarter specific to the Centrue merger.
Return on average assets was 0.69% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 0.63% for the same period in 2005. Return on average stockholders’ equity was 6.69% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 6.06% for the same period in 2005.

Net Interest Income/ Margin
Net interest income is the difference between income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred for the funding sources used to finance these assets. Changes in net interest income generally occur due to fluctuations in the volume of earning assets and paying liabilities and rates earned and paid, respectively, on those assets and liabilities. The net yield on total interest-earning assets, also referred to as net interest margin, represents net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Net interest margin measures how efficiently the Company uses its earning assets and underlying capital. The Company’s long-term objective is to manage those assets and liabilities to provide the largest possible amount of income while balancing interest rate, credit, liquidity and capital risks. For purposes of this discussion, both net interest income and margin have been adjusted to a fully tax equivalent basis for certain tax-exempt securities and loans.
2007 compared to 2006. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, was $39,958 for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared with $23,099 earned during the same period in 2006. This represented an increase of $16,859 or 72.9%. The improvement in net interest income was largely related to an increase in earning assets due to the addition of the former Centrue’s loan and investment portfolios for a full year in 2007 and organic loan growth generated primarily in the St. Louis market. This was offset by increases in deposit balances and a shift in the mix of funding liabilities from lower costing non-interest bearing deposits to higher costing time deposits.
The $40,238 increase in interest income resulted from improvements of $37,453 related to volume and $2,785 due to rates. The majority of the change in interest income was related to a $437,690 improvement in average loans largely related to the 2006 merger and organic loan growth generated from the St. Louis market. Also, contributing were yield increases of 42 basis points in the loan portfolio and 29 basis points in the security portfolio.
The $23,379 increase in interest expense resulted from increases of $20,381 due to volume and $2,998 associated with rate. The majority of the change was attributable to a $487,557 increase in average interest-bearing liabilities related to the 2006 merger and 69 basis point increase in rates paid on total time deposits.
The net interest margin decreased 6 basis points to 3.35% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from 3.41% during the same period in 2006. Adversely impacting margin levels was a funding shift into higher costing time and wholesale deposits away from lower costing non-maturing deposits. The changes in deposit composition, as well as a generally higher cost of funds during the year, put pressure on the margin. Due largely to continued competition in pricing loans and deposits, and the recent economic downturn, the margin will likely remain under pressure throughout 2008.
2006 compared to 2005. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, was $23,099 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared with $21,587 earned during the same period in 2005. This represented an increase of $1,512 or 7.0%. The increase in net interest income is attributable to the year-over-year improvement in income earned on interest earning assets totaling $9,156 exceeding the year-over-year increase of interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities totaling $7,644.
The $9,156 increase in interest income resulted from improvements of $4,066 related to volume and $5,090 due to rates. The majority of the change in interest income was related to yield increases of 63 basis points in the loan portfolio and 89 basis points in the security portfolio. Also, contributing was the $71,445 improvement in earning-assets largely related to the merger with Centrue in the fourth quarter.

The $7,644 increase in interest expense resulted from increases of $5,535 associated with rate and $2,109 due to volume. The majority of the change was attributable to a 118 basis point increase in rates paid on total time deposits due to repricing of short-term instruments in a higher interest rate environment. Also contributing to the increase was higher expense caused by the addition of interest-bearing liabilities largely related to the merger with Centrue in the fourth quarter.
The net interest margin decreased 15 basis points to 3.41% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from 3.56% during the same period in 2005. The decrease resulted primarily from the result of an inverted yield curve and competitive pressures in pricing loans and deposits.

The Company’s net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as “volume change.” It is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed funds referred to as “rate change.” The following table reflects the changes in net interest income stemming from changes in interest rates and from asset and liability volume, including mix. Any variance attributable jointly to volume and rate changes is allocated to the volume and rate variances in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of the change in each.

Provision for Loan Losses. The amount of the provision for loan losses is based on management’s evaluations of the loan portfolio, with particular attention directed toward nonperforming, impaired and other potential problem loans. During these evaluations, consideration is also given to such factors as management’s evaluation of specific loans, the level and composition of impaired loans, other nonperforming loans, other identified potential problem loans, historical loss experience, results of examinations by regulatory agencies, results of the independent asset quality review process, the market value of collateral, the estimate of discounted cash flows, the strength and availability of guarantees, concentrations of credits, and various other factors, including concentration of credit risk in various industries and current economic conditions.

2007 compared to 2006. The 2007 provision for loan losses charged to operating expense totaled $675, an increase of $1,950 in comparison to recording a negative provision of ($1,275) in the 2006 period. The increase in the provision was the result of identifying and addressing problem credits and the recent deteriorating economic conditions in a timely fashion. Results for 2006 included negative provisions largely due to the pay-off of one $4,400 loan relationship that was classified as impaired in late 2005 with a specific reserve allocation of $1,500. The following factors also impacted 2007 provision levels:
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
decrease in nonperforming and action list loans since year-end; |
|
|
• |
decrease in the level of past due loans; |
|
|
• |
higher than anticipated recoveries; and |
|
|
• |
many loans that were charged off during 2007 had previously been allocated a specific reserve. |
Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $755 compared with $1,019 in the same period of 2006. Annualized net charge-offs decreased to 0.09% of average loans for 2007 compared to 0.22% in the same period in 2006.
Management remains watchful of credit quality issues. Should the economic climate deteriorate from current levels, borrowers may experience difficulty, and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require further increases in the provision.
2006 compared to 2005. The 2006 provision for loan losses charged to operating expense totaled ($1,275), a decrease of $1,525 in comparison to the $250 recorded during the same period for 2005. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was largely based on the pay-off of one $4,400 loan relationship that was classified as impaired as of year-end 2005 with a specific reserve allocation of $1,500. Also contributing to management’s decision to make the reverse provision were continued improvements in the quality of the loan portfolio, and favorable loan loss experience. Furthermore, this was positively impacted by loan resolutions, either through charge-off of nonbankable assets or through successful workout strategies that were executed throughout 2006. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $1,019 compared with $1,620 in the same period of 2005. Annualized net charge-offs decreased to 0.22% of average loans for 2006 compared to 0.39% in the same period in 2005.
Management remains watchful of credit quality issues. Should the economic climate deteriorate from current levels, borrowers may experience difficulty, and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require further increases in the provision.

2007 compared to 2006. Noninterest income from continuing operations totaled $15,665 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $6,688 for the same period in 2006. This represented an increase of $8,977 or 134.2% in 2007 over the prior period. Excluding net securities losses and the gains on sale of other assets, noninterest income shows a year-over-year increase of $7,781 or 114.3%.
The growth was primarily the result of improvements in service charges and NSF fees on deposit accounts, electronic banking services (included in “other income”), and revenue generated from the mortgage banking division as a result of a full year’s activity from the November 2006 merger. Also contributing to the increase were gains on sale of properties held in other real estate (included in the category “gain on sale of assets”), increased revenue generated from the brokerage product line, and income earned on accrued interest related to a federal tax refund.
2006 compared to 2005. Noninterest income for continuing operations totaled $6,688 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $6,298 for the same timeframe in 2005. This represented an increase of $390 or 6.2% in 2006 over the prior period. Excluding net securities losses and the gains on sale of other assets, noninterest income shows a year-over-year increase of $433 or 6.8%. The increase reflected higher service charges and fees received on items drawn on customer accounts with insufficient funds (included in “service charges”), and variable-related improvement in electronic banking card-based fees. Also contributing to the change was the recognition of revenue generated from the Centrue merger for 49 days.
These improvements were partially offset by declines in revenue generated from the brokerage product line due to a change in the mix of products sold during the year and the mortgage banking division. The decrease in mortgage banking income, which includes gains generated from the sale of loans and net servicing revenue (after amortization of mortgage servicing rights), was due to a shortfall in the production of new mortgage loans originated. The remaining categories remained relatively stable with only slight year-over-year changes.

2007 compared to 2006. Noninterest expense for continuing operations totaled $37,333 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $22,723 for the same period in 2006. This represented an increase of $14,610 or 64.3% in 2007 from 2006.
The increase was experienced in all categories and primarily due to higher costs associated with operating twenty-one additional branches for a full year’s activity from the November 2006 merger. Also contributing were increases in professional fees related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, core deposit amortization, accelerated depreciation expense for assets being phased out, and valuation adjustments taken on properties held in other real estate taken in light of recent economic downturns. Offsetting these increases were cost savings related to the completion of integration activities which reduced operating costs and fifty-four full-time equivalent employees.
2006 compared to 2005. Noninterest expense for continuing operations totaled $22,723 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $21,343 for the same timeframe in 2005. This represented an increase of $1,380 or 6.5% in 2006 from 2005.
Adversely impacting expense levels was approximately $767 in acquisition and integration costs related to accelerated share-based compensation, employee bonus and severance payments, contract termination costs, marketing related advertising and promotional items, and accelerated depreciation expense for assets being phased out. Also contributing to the increase were costs associated with the operation of twenty-one additional branches resulting from the Centrue merger. These increased costs were offset by $1,608 in savings from salaries and employee benefits expense related to a reduction in work force plan implemented during the fourth quarter of 2005 intended to realign expense levels with revenue levels. The remaining categories remained relatively stable with only slight year-over-year changes.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $5,175 and $2,145 for 2007 and 2006, respectively. Effective tax rates equaled 31.4% and 27.7% respectively, for such periods. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a $251 reduction in state income taxes due to the receipt of a tax refund related to amended tax returns outstanding from prior years. Excluding this refund, the effective tax rate for 2005 would have been 27.0%.
The Company’s effective tax rate was lower than statutory rates due to several factors. First, the Company derives interest income from municipal securities and loans, which are exempt from federal tax and certain U. S. government agency securities, which are exempt from state tax. Second, the level of tax-exempt income has decreased as a percentage of taxable income. Finally, the Company derives income from bank owned life insurance policies, which is exempt from federal and state tax.
Preferred Stock Dividends. The Company paid $207 of preferred stock dividends in 2007, 2006 and 2005.
Earnings Review by Business Segment
The Company’s internal reporting and planning process focuses on four primary lines of business (Segment(s)): Retail, Commercial, Treasury and Wealth Management. See Note 21 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the presentation of the condensed income statement and total assets for each Segment.
The financial information presented was derived from the Company’s internal profitability reporting system that is used by management to monitor and manage the financial performance of the Company. This information is based on internal management accounting policies which have been developed to reflect the underlying economics of the Segments and, to the extent practicable, to portray the Segment as if it operated on a stand alone basis. Thus, each Segment, in addition to its direct revenues and expenses, assets and liabilities, includes an allocation of shared support function expenses. The Retail, Commercial, Treasury, and Wealth Management Segments also include funds transfer adjustments to appropriately reflect the cost of funds on loans made and funding credits on deposits generated. Apart from these adjustments, the accounting policies used are similar to those described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Since there are no comprehensive authorities for management accounting equivalent to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the information presented is not necessarily comparable with similar information from other financial institutions. In addition, methodologies used to measure, assign and allocate certain items may change from time-to-time to reflect, among other things, accounting estimate refinements, changes in risk profiles, changes in customers or product lines and changes in management structure.

Retail Segment. The Retail Segment (Retail) provides retail banking services to individual customers through the Company’s branch locations in Illinois and Missouri. The services provided by this Segment include direct and indirect lending, checking, savings, money market and CD accounts, safe deposit rental, ATM’s and other traditional and electronic banking services.
Retail represented 14.7% of total segment net income in 2007, 14.0% in 2006 and 2.9% in 2005. Retail assets were $306,156 at December 31, 2007 and represented 22.4% of total consolidated assets. This compared to $240,872 at December 31, 2006 and $99,916 at December 31, 2005.
The growth from 2006 to 2007 was primarily the result of operating twenty-one additional branches for a full year’s activity from the November 2006 merger. This increased the net interest income, other revenue and other expense categories.
Commercial Segment. The Commercial Segment (Commercial) provides commercial banking services to business customers served through the Company’s full service branch channels located in Illinois and Missouri. The services provided by this Segment include lending, business checking and deposits, cash management, and other traditional as well as electronic commercial banking services.
Commercial represented 91.1% of total segment net income in 2007, 114.5% in 2006 and 95.9% in 2005. Commercial assets were $741,861 at December 31, 2007 and represented 54.3% of total consolidated assets. This compared to $686,495 at December 31, 2006 and $330,240 at December 31, 2005.
The growth from 2006 to 2007 was primarily the result of the increase in earning asset portfolio due to the addition of the former Centrue’s loan portfolio for a full year and organic growth generated primarily in the St. Louis market. The increase in the provision was the result of identifying and addressing problem credits and the recent deteriorating economic conditions in a timely fashion. Results for 2006 included negative provisions largely due to the pay-off of one $4,400 loan relationship that was classified as impaired in late 2005 with a specific reserve allocation of $1,500.
Treasury Segment. The Treasury Segment (Treasury) is the area of the bank responsible for managing the investment portfolio and acquiring funding for loan activity. In 2007, the reduction in the investment portfolio was caused by the selling of investments and using the proceeds to fund the loan growth experienced in the Commercial Segment. Net interest income grew as a result of having the combined investment portfolio for a full year after the merge in November 2006.
Treasury represented (13.0%) of total segment net income in 2007, (1.2%) in 2006 and (2.3%) in 2005. Treasury assets were $268,484 at December 31, 2007 representing 19.7% of total consolidated assets. This compared to $328,841 at December 31, 2006 and $216,355 at December 31, 2005.
Wealth Management Segment. The Wealth Management Segment (Wealth) provides trust services, estate administration, financial planning, employee benefit plan administration, asset management, and brokerage transaction services.

Wealth represented 1.6% of total segment net income in 2007, (10.3%) in 2006 and (15.3%) in 2005. Wealth assets were $1,289 at December 31, 2007 and represented 0.1% of total consolidated assets. This compared to $1,330 at December 31, 2006 and $3,723 at December 31, 2005.
The improvement in earnings from 2006 to 2007 was the result of the sale of the Insurance business unit in late 2006. See Note 22 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on this transaction. Additionally in 2007, the revenue increased due to increased revenue from the brokerage product line.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Management
The business of the Company and the composition of its balance sheet consist of investments in interest-earning assets (primarily loans and securities) which are primarily funded by interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). All of the financial instruments of the Company are for other than trading purposes. Such financial instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market rates of interest. The operating income and net income of Centrue Bank depends, to a substantial extent, on “rate differentials,” i.e., the differences between the income Centrue Bank receives from loans, securities, and other earning assets and the interest expense they pay to obtain deposits and other liabilities. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of Centrue Bank, including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities.
The Company measures its overall interest rate sensitivity through a net interest income analysis. The net interest income analysis measures the change in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis assesses the risk of changes in net interest income in the event of a sudden and sustained 100 to 200 basis point increase in market interest rates or a 100 to 200 basis point decrease in market rates. The interest rates scenarios are used for analytical purposes and do not necessarily represent management’s view of future market movements.

Based on the Company’s model at December 31, 2007, the effect of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the Company’s net interest income by 0.74% or approximately $305. The effect of an immediate 200 basis point decrease in rates would decrease the Company’s net interest income by $3,109 or 7.52%.
In January, 2008, the Federal Reserve reduced rates by 125 basis points. The effect these rate adjustments have had is to increase pressure on our margin for 2008. Management had forecasted some of this rate reduction and took immediate steps to lessen the impact of the additional reductions that were announced. The mix of our funding portion of the balance sheet has been adjusted to lessen the impact the reductions would have on our asset rate sensitive portion of the balance sheet by taking advantage of the wider spreads in various sectors. Additionally, the steepening of the yield curve has also been advantageous to lessening the impact that the rate reductions will have during 2008.

Nonperforming Assets. The Company’s financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, including the recognition of interest income on its loan portfolio, unless a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when there are serious doubts regarding the collectibility of all principal and interest due under the terms of the loans. If a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the loan does not generate current period income for the Company and any amounts received are generally applied first to principal and then to interest. It is the policy of the Company not to renegotiate the terms of a loan because of a delinquent status. Rather, a loan is generally transferred to nonaccrual status if it is not in the process of collection and is delinquent in payment of either principal or interest beyond 90 days.
The classification of a loan as nonaccrual does not necessarily indicate that the principal is uncollectible, in whole or in part. The Bank makes a determination as to collectibility on a case-by-case basis and considers both the adequacy of the collateral and the other resources of the borrower in determining the steps to be taken to collect nonaccrual loans. The final determination as to the steps taken is made based upon the specific facts of each situation. Alternatives that are typically considered to collect nonaccrual loans are foreclosure, collection under guarantees, loan restructuring, or judicial collection actions.

Other nonperforming assets consist of real estate acquired through loan foreclosures or other workout situations and other assets acquired through repossessions.
Each of the Company’s loans is assigned a rating based upon an internally developed grading system. A separate credit administration department also reviews grade assignments on a quarterly basis. Management continuously monitors nonperforming, impaired, and past due loans to prevent further deterioration of these loans. The Company has an independent loan review function which is separate from the lending function and is responsible for the review of new and existing loans.

The level of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2007 decreased 65.2% to $4,090 versus the $11,759 that existed as of December 31, 2006. The decrease of $7,669 was largely related to resolutions of nonbankable loans or through successful workout strategies executed throughout 2007. The level of nonperforming loans to total end of period loans was 0.43% at December 31, 2007, as compared to 1.40% at December 31, 2006. The reserve coverage ratio (allowance to nonperforming loans) was reported at 262.96% as of December 31, 2007 as compared to 92.14% as of December 31, 2006.
Other Potential Problem Loans. The Company has other potential problem loans that are currently performing, but where some concerns exist as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms. Excluding nonperforming loans and loans that management has classified as impaired, these other potential problem loans totaled $1,485 at December 31, 2007 as compared to $1,757 at December 31, 2006. The classification of these loans, however, does not imply that management expects losses on each of these loans, but believes that a higher level of scrutiny and closer monitoring is prudent under the circumstances. Such classifications relate to specific concerns for each individual borrower and do not relate to any concentration risk common to all loans in this group.

Allowance for Loan Losses. At December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $10,755 or 1.12% of total loans as compared to $10,835 or 1.29% at December 31, 2006. The Company recorded a provision of $675 to the allowance for loan losses in 2007 due to the loan growth of $120,341 experienced in 2007.
In conjunction with the Centrue merger, the Company acquired $436,459 in net loans. Centrue’s allowance for loan losses at the acquisition date, not allocated to impaired loans, was $4,767. The Company applied the guidance required under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer (“SOP 03-3”) and determined that certain loans acquired in the merger had evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and were probable that all contractual required payments would not be collected on these loans. The Company determined that 54 loans with a book value totaling approximately $11,796 and a fair value of $9,379 were within the guidelines set forth under SOP 03-3. The Company recorded these at their fair value and reduced the allowance for loan losses by $2,416. Accordingly, the Company recorded $4,767 of allowance for loan losses on loans not subject to SOP 03-3.
At December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was $10,835 or 1.29% of total loans as compared to $8,362 or 2.00% at December 31, 2005. The Company recorded a negative provision of ($1,275) to the allowance for loan losses largely based on the pay-off of one $4,400 loan relationship that was classified as impaired as of year-end with a specific reserve allocation of $1,500. Also contributing to management’s decision to make the reverse provision were continued improvements in the quality of the loan portfolio and favorable loan loss experience.
In originating loans, the Company recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
general economic conditions; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
the type of loan being made; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan; and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral for such a loan. |
The allowance for loan losses represents the Company’s estimate of the allowance necessary to provide for probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio by analyzing the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
ultimate collectibility of the loans in its portfolio; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
incorporating feedback provided by internal loan staff; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
the independent loan review function; and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
information provided by examinations performed by regulatory agencies. |

|
The Company regularly evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Commercial credits are graded using a system that is in compliance with regulatory classifications by the loan officers and the loan review function validates the officers’ grades. In the event that the loan review function downgrades the loan, it is included in the allowance analysis at the lower grade. To establish the appropriate level of the allowance, a sample of loans (including impaired and nonperforming loans) are reviewed and classified as to potential loss exposure.
Based on an estimation computed pursuant to the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” and FASB Statements Nos. 114 and 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” the analysis of the allowance for loan losses consists of three components:
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
specific credit allocation established for expected losses resulting from analysis developed through specific credit allocations on individual loans for which the recorded investment in the loan exceeds its fair value; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
general portfolio allocation based on historical loan loss experience for each loan category; and |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
subjective reserves based on general economic conditions as well as specific economic factors in the markets in which the Company operates. |
The specific credit allocation component of the allowance for loan losses is based on a regular analysis of loans over a fixed-dollar amount where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification. The fair value of the loan is determined based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the market price of the loan, or, if the loan is collateral dependent, the fair value of the underlying collateral less cost of sale.
The general portfolio allocation component of the allowance for loan losses is determined statistically using a loss migration analysis that examines historical loan loss experience. The loss migration analysis is performed quarterly and loss factors are updated regularly based on actual experience. The general portfolio allocation element of the allowance for loan losses also includes consideration of the amounts necessary for concentrations and changes in portfolio mix and volume.
The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimate losses will vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed monthly, and as adjustments, either positive or negative, become necessary, a corresponding increase or decrease is made in the provision for loan losses. The methodology used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is consistent with prior years.
Management remains watchful of credit quality issues. Should the economic climate deteriorate from current levels, borrowers may experience difficulty, and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require further increases in the provision.

Liquidity
The Company manages its liquidity position with the objective of maintaining sufficient funds to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers and to take advantage of earnings enhancement opportunities. In addition to the normal inflow of funds from core-deposit growth together with repayments and maturities of loans and investments, the Company utilizes other short-term funding sources such as brokered time deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, overnight federal funds purchased from correspondent banks and the acceptance of short-term deposits from public entities, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
The Company monitors and manages its liquidity position on several bases, which vary depending upon the time period. As the time period is expanded, other data is factored in, including estimated loan funding requirements, estimated loan payoffs, investment portfolio maturities or calls, and anticipated depository buildups or runoffs.
The Company classifies all of its securities as available-for-sale, thereby maintaining significant liquidity. The Company’s liquidity position is further enhanced by structuring its loan portfolio interest payments as monthly and by the significant representation of retail credit and residential mortgage loans in the Company’s loan portfolio, resulting in a steady stream of loan repayments. In managing its investment portfolio, the Company provides for staggered maturities so that cash flows are provided as such investments mature.

The Company’s cash flows are comprised of three classifications: cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows from financing activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities and investing activities offset by cash flows used in financing activities resulted in a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $11,433 from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007.
During 2007, the Company experienced net cash outflows of $76,355 in investing activities primarily due to large increases in loans. In contrast, net cash inflows of $66,772 were provided by financing activities due to increases in deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and $21,016 from operating activities largely due to net income.
Centrue Bank’s securities portfolio, federal funds sold, and cash and due from bank deposit balances serve as the primary sources of liquidity for the Company. At December 31, 2007, 21.91% of Centrue Bank’s interest-bearing liabilities were in the form of time deposits of $100,000 and over. Management believes these deposits to be a stable source of funds. However, if a large number of these time deposits matured at approximately the same time and were not renewed, Centrue Bank’s liquidity could be adversely affected. Currently, the maturities of Centrue Bank’s large time deposits are spread throughout the year, with 44.9% maturing in the first quarter of 2008, 16.6% maturing in the second quarter of 2008, 24.8% maturing in the third and fourth quarters of 2008, and the remaining 13.7% maturing thereafter. Centrue Bank monitors those maturities in an effort to minimize any adverse effect on liquidity.
The Company’s borrowings included trust preferred securities, notes payable, FHLB advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase at December 31, 2007 in the principal amount of $10,000 each for Centrue Statutory Trust II and Centrue Statutory Trust III, $12,864 payable to the Company’s principal correspondent bank, $121,615 of FHLB advances, $44,937 of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, shareholder note for $868 related to the purchase of a previous acquisition and $70 payable to individuals related to the purchase of the Howard Marshall Agency. The note to the Company’s principal correspondent bank is renewable annually, requires quarterly interest payments, and is collateralized by the Company’s stock in the Bank. The note related to the purchase of the Howard Marshall Agency requires monthly principal and interest payments. The shareholder note requires bi-annual payments of $500 at an imputed interest rate.
The Company’s principal source of funds for repayment of the indebtedness is dividends from Centrue Bank. At December 31, 2007, approximately $5,025 was available for dividends without regulatory approval.

Commitments, Contingencies, and Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, often including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment. At December 31, 2007, the Company had $262,288 in outstanding loan commitments including outstanding commitments for various lines of credit. The Company also has $9,568 of standby letters of credit as of December 31, 2007. See Note 18 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on loan commitments and standby letters of credit.
Capital Resources
Stockholders’ Equity
The Company is committed to managing capital for maximum shareholder benefit and maintaining strong protection for depositors and creditors. Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2007 was $118,876, an increase of $685 or 0.6%, from December 31, 2006. The increase in stockholders’ equity was largely the result of net income for the period partially offset by dividends paid to shareholders and the purchase of treasury stock. Average equity as a percentage of average assets was 8.90% at December 31, 2007, compared to 10.35% at December 31, 2006. Book value per common share equaled $19.50 at December 31, 2007, an increase from $18.23 reported at the end of 2006.
Stock Repurchase Programs
The 2006 repurchase program was completed on July 23, 2007. The 2007 repurchase program approved on July 24, 2007 authorized the company to repurchase an additional 500,000 shares, or approximately 8% of the Company’s currently issued and outstanding shares, in the open market or privately negotiated transactions over an 18 month period. The expiration date of this program is January 24, 2009. Unless terminated earlier by resolution of our board of directors, the program will expire on the earlier of such expiration date or when we have repurchased all shares authorized for repurchase under the program.

Capital Measurements
The Company and Centrue Bank are expected to meet a minimum risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8%, of which at least one-half (or 4%) must be in the form of Tier 1 (core) capital. The remaining one-half (or 4%) may be in the form of Tier 1 (core) or Tier 2 (supplementary) capital. The amount of loan loss allowance that may be included in capital is limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The ratio of Tier 1 (core) and the combined amount of Tier 1 (core) and Tier 2 (supplementary) capital to risk-weighted assets for the Company was 9.2% and 10.2%, respectively, at December 31, 2007. The decline in the respective capital ratios was primarily due to the Company taking advantage of its stock repurchase plan during the year. The Company is currently, and expects to continue to be, in compliance with these guidelines.
As of December 31, 2007, the Tier 2 risk-based capital was comprised of $10,755 in allowance for loan losses (limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets). The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock, subject to certain adjustments intended to offset the amount of losses incurred by the Company upon the post-closing sale of certain securities acquired in conjunction with a previous acquisition.

Impact of Inflation, Changing Prices, and Monetary Policies
The financial statements and related financial data concerning the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary effect of inflation on the operations of the Company is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant effect on the performance of a financial institution than do the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and changes in prices. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond the control of the Company, including the influence of domestic and foreign economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and federal agencies, particularly the FRB.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Audit Committee
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Centrue Financial Corporation
Ottawa, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Centrue Financial Corporation (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. We also have audited Centrue Financial Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting as disclosed in Item 9A of Form 10-K. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
50.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Centrue Financial Corporation as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, Centrue Financial Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
