Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Centrue Financial Corporation is a bank holding company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. When we use the terms “Centrue,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” we mean Centrue Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries. When we use the term the “Bank,” we are referring to our wholly owned banking subsidiary, Centrue Bank. The Company and the Bank provide a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers located in markets extending from the far western and southern suburbs of the Chicago metropolitan area across Central Illinois down to the metropolitan St. Louis area. These services include demand, time, and savings deposits; business and consumer lending; and mortgage banking. Additionally, brokerage, asset management, and trust services are provided to our customers on a referral basis to third party providers. The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions and nonfinancial institutions providing financial services. Additionally, the Company and the Bank are subject to regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and general practice within the banking industry. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates which are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the fair value of investment securities and other-than-temporary impairment of securities, the determination of the allowance for loan losses and valuation of other real estate owned.

 

For further information with respect to significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Centrue Bank. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and certain 2011 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation. The annualized results of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. All financial information in the following tables is in thousands (000s), except share and per share data. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary to fairly present the results for the interim periods presented have been included.

 

Note 2. Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share for the same periods were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of the stock options and warrants. Computations for basic and diluted earnings per share are provided as follows:

There were 274,927 options and 508,320 warrants outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 496,738 options and 508,320 warrants outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price and therefore, were anti-dilutive. In addition, the Company’s convertible preferred stock was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as it was anti-dilutive.

 

Note 3. Securities

 

The primary strategic objective related to the Company’s securities portfolio is to assist with liquidity and interest rate risk management. The fair value of securities classified as available-for-sale was $225.7 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $228.8 million at December 31, 2011. The carrying value of securities classified as restricted (Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank stock) was $7.0 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $9.2 million at December 31, 2011. The Company does not have any securities classified as trading or held-to-maturity.

 

The following tables represent the fair value of available-for-sale securities and the related, gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

There were $0.2 million and $1.8 million of loans held for sale at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

The credit quality indicator utilized by the Company to internally analyze the loan portfolio is the internal risk rating. Internal risk ratings of 0 to 5 are considered pass credits, a risk rating of a 6 is special mention, a risk rating of a 7 is substandard, and a risk rating of an 8 is doubtful. Loans classified as pass credits have no identified material weaknesses and are performing as agreed. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

 

The Company had troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) of $4.3 million and $7.1 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Specific reserves of $0.3 million and $0.95 million were allocated to TDRs as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. At June 30, 2012, nonaccrual TDR loans were $4.3 million, as compared to $6.0 million at December 31, 2011. At June 30, 2012 there were $0.03 million of TDRs on accrual status compared to December 31, 2011, when $1.1 million was on accrual. The Company has not committed to lend any additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs as of June 30, 2012.

 

At June 30, 2012, the Company held loans whose terms had been modified as troubled debt restructuring. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan to a below market rate or the payment modification to interest only. Modifications involving a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan were for periods ranging from 6 months to 16 months. During the six month period ending June 30, 2012, there was one TDR added in the amount of $0.9 million during the first quarter. It was subsequently removed in the second quarter as the collateral was sold, specific provision charged-off and the remaining loan balance paid-off.

 

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the three or six month period ending June 30, 2011 or 2012.

 

The Company evaluates loan modifications to determine if the modification constitutes a troubled debt restructure. A loan modification constitutes a troubled debt restructure if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company grants a concession it would not otherwise consider. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its loans with the Company’s debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting guidelines. TDRs are separately identified for impairment disclosures. If a loan is considered to be collateral dependent loan, the TDR is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral.

Note 5. Share Based Compensation

 

In April 2003, the Company adopted the 2003 Option Plan. Under the 2003 Option Plan, as amended on April 24, 2007, nonqualified options, incentive stock options, restricted stock and/or stock appreciation rights may be granted to employees and outside directors of the Company and its subsidiaries to purchase the Company's common stock at an exercise price to be determined by the Executive and Compensation committee. Pursuant to the 2003 Option Plan, 570,000 shares of the Company's unissued common stock have been reserved and are available for issuance upon the exercise of options and rights granted under the 2003 Option Plan. The options have an exercise period of seven to ten years from the date of grant. There are 66,000 shares available to grant under this plan.

Note 6. Contingent Liabilities and Other Matters

 

Neither the Company nor its subsidiary is involved in any pending legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the normal course of business, which, in the opinion of management, in the aggregate, are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition.

 

Note 7. Segment Information

 

The Company’s segment information provided below focuses on its three primary lines of business (Segment(s)): Retail Banking, Commercial Banking and Treasury. 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 each Segment as if it operated on a stand-alone basis. Thus, each Segment, in addition to its direct revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, includes an allocation of shared support function expenses and corporate overhead. All Segments also include funds transfer adjustments to appropriately reflect the cost of funds on loans made, funding credits on deposits generated, and the cost of maintaining adequate liquidity. Apart from these adjustments, the accounting policies used are similar to those described in Note 1 of our financial statements from the December 31, 2011 10-K.

Note 7.  Segment Information (Continued)

 

Since there are no comprehensive standards for management accounting that are equivalent to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the information presented may not necessarily be 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.

 

The Retail Banking Segment provides retail banking services including direct and indirect lending, checking, savings, money market and certificate of deposit (“CD”) accounts, safe deposit rental, automated teller machines and other traditional and electronic commerce retail banking services to individual customers through the Bank’s branch locations.  The Retail Banking Segment also provides a variety of mortgage lending products to meet customer needs. The majority of the mortgage loans it originates are sold to a third party mortgage services company, which provides private label loan processing and servicing support for both loans sold and loans retained by the Bank.

 

The Commercial Banking Segment provides commercial banking services including lending, business checking and deposits, treasury management and other traditional as well as electronic commerce commercial banking services to middle market and small business customers through the Bank’s branch locations.

 

The Treasury segment is responsible for managing the investment portfolio, acquiring wholesale funding for loan activity and assisting in the management of the Company’s liquidity and interest rate risk.  Information reported internally for performance assessment follows:

Note 8.  Borrowed Funds and Debt Obligations

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company has $10.3 million outstanding per a loan agreement dated March 31, 2008. This original agreement was entered into with Bank of America and consisted of three credit facilities: a secured revolving line of credit, a secured term facility, and a subordinated debt. In February 2009, the loan agreement on the revolving line of credit was amended resulting in an aggregate principal amount of $20.3 million. The first credit facility consisted of a $10.0 million secured revolving line of credit which matured on June 30, 2009 and was not renewed by Bank of America. The second credit facility consists of a $0.3 million secured term facility, which will mature in March 31, 2015. The third credit facility consists of $10.0 million in subordinated debt, which also matures in March 31, 2015. On December 14, 2009, Bank of America transferred to Cole Taylor Bank all rights, title, interest in to and under the loan agreements dated March 31, 2008. Repayment of each of the remaining two credit facilities is interest only on a quarterly basis, with the principal amount of the loan due at maturity. The term credit facility is secured by a pledge of the stock of the Bank. The subordinated debt credit facility is unsecured and is intended to qualify as Tier II capital for regulatory purposes. However, the amount included in Tier II capital has been reduced by 60% as of June 30, 2012 due to a sub-debt phase-out provision and will be further reduced by 20% in each of the next two years. The outstanding balance of the debt agreements was $10.3 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The Company requires regulatory approval in order to make the quarterly interest payments under our debt agreements as described in Note 13.

Note 8.  Borrowed Funds and Debt Obligations (Continued)

 

On March 7, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment with the lender, which modified the covenant relating to capitalization at the Company and Bank level so that the Company returned to full compliance with the terms of its credit agreement as of December 31, 2010. The amendment contains customary covenants, including but not limited to, the Company and the Bank’s maintenance of its status as adequately capitalized and the Bank’s minimum loan loss reserves to total loans of 3.00%.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants, with the exception of the tier 1 leverage ratio, and all payments remain current.  A covenant waiver was received from the lender as of December 31, 2011; the loan covenants were revised effective quarter-end March 31, 2012 and each quarter thereafter to maintain the adequately capitalized levels for the Bank and remove the holding company capital requirements.  As of June 30, 2012, the Company and Bank are in compliance with the covenants of the amended agreement.

 

Additionally, the Company has a note outstanding to an individual with an imputed interest rate of 5.25% maturing October 24, 2012 from a prior acquisition.  The balance as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $0.1 million.

 

Note 9.  Fair Value

 

The Company measures, monitors, and discloses certain of its assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels based on the reliability of the input assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to level 3 measurements and the categorization of where an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Securities

 

Available for Sale Securities.  The fair value of securities available for sale is determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).  If the securities could not be priced using quoted market prices, observable market activity or comparable trades, the financial market was considered not active and the assets were classified as Level 3.  The fair values of Level 3 investment securities are determined by the Finance group who provide default and scenario assumptions to the Company’s Chief Investment Officer (CIO) who performs the modeling for the analysis and submits for review by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO).  Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread to swap and LIBOR curves that are updated to incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit spread and optionality.  During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model.  Ratings agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations.

 

Pooled Trust Preferred Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDO”).  The assets included in Level 3 are CDOs.  Over the past few years, the decline in the level of observable inputs and market activity for trust preferred CDOs by the measurement date was significant and resulted in unreliable external pricing.  As such, the Company uses an internal other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) evaluation model to compare the present value of expected cash flows to the previous estimate to ensure there are no adverse changes in cash flows during the quarter.  The OTTI model considers the structure and term of each CDO and the financial condition of the underlying issuers.  Specifically, the model details interest rates, principal balances of note classes and  underlying issuers, the timing and amount of  interest and principal payments of the underlying issuers, and the allocation of the payments to the note classes.  The current estimate of expected cash flows is based on the most recent trustee reports and any other relevant market information including announcements of interest payment deferrals or defaults of underlying trust-preferred securities. Assumptions used in the model include expected future default rates and prepayments.

 

The Company assumes no recoveries on defaults and treats all interest payment deferrals as defaults.   In addition, we use the model to “stress” each CDO, or make assumptions more severe than expected activity, to determine the degree to which assumptions could deteriorate before the CDO could no longer fully support repayment of the Company’s note class.

 

Each issuer in the tranche was analyzed using the Fitch ratings for the quarter and key financial data so that the issuer in each tranche can be divided between a pool of “performing” companies and “under-performing” companies.  A factor is applied to the under-performing company for each quarter to project additional defaults and deferrals to be factored into the cash flow model. Three internal scenarios were developed that had different assumptions regarding the impact of the economic environment on additional defaults and deferrals for the upcoming quarters.  On average, the additional deferrals for a specific CDO that were factored in to our calculation were approximately 8% of the performing balance of the instrument across the three scenarios.   All of the additional deferrals for the three scenarios are factored in to the cash flow for each tranche.  A discount factor to be applied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was developed for each specific tranche and incorporated to arrive at the discount rate for the CDO.  The factor applied ranged from 200 basis points to 600 basis points based on the rating of the CDO and its gross-up factor for risk based capital.  These rates were applied to calculate the net present value of the cash flows.  The results of the three net present value calculations were weighted based on their likelihood of occurring.  The scenarios were weighted 35%, 47% and 18%.

 

Finally, an independent valuation of our portfolio was obtained.  This was weighted as the final overall step to arrive at our valuation for June 30, 2012 using 55% for the internal weighting and 45% for the external one.  Due to market conditions as well as the limited trading activity of these securities, the market value of the securities is highly sensitive to assumption changes and market volatility.

Note 9.  Fair Value (Continued)

 

At June 30, 2012, the Company held five pooled trust preferred CDOs with an amortized cost of $8.0 million.  These securities were rated high quality (A3 and above) at inception, but at June 30, 2012, these securities were rated as Ca, which are defined as highly speculative and/or default, with some recovery; and C, which is the lowest rating.  The issuers in these securities are primarily banks, but some of the pools do include a limited number of insurance companies.

 

The Company performed an analysis including evaluation for OTTI for each of the five CDOs.  During the second quarter of 2012, our model indicated no OTTI was needed for credit impairment.  Management has determined that the remaining CDOs are deemed to be only temporarily impaired at quarter-end due to the projected cash flows adjusted for the possible further deterioration is sufficient to return the outstanding principal balance with interest at the stated rate.

 

Private Label CMOs.  Private label CMOs were also evaluated using management’s internal analysis process.  These securities were rated high quality (A3 and above) at inception and are primarily supported by prime collateral, although the RAST Series security has some alt-a collateral support.  During the first quarter of 2012, our model indicated no OTTI on these CMOs, with an aggregate cost basis of $1.2 million.

 

Single Issue Trust Preferred.  During the third quarter of 2010, the Company purchased $3.8 million of single-issue trust preferred securities that are classified as available for sale. With respect to these securities, the Company looks at rating agency actions, payment history, the capital levels of the banks and the financial performance as filed in regulatory reports.  As of June 30, 2012, the aggregate cost basis on these securities was $2.1 million as there have been calls on these securities in previous quarters.

 

The Company’s unrealized losses on other securities relate primarily to its investment in CDO securities. The decline in fair value is primarily attributable to temporary illiquidity and the financial crisis affecting these markets and not necessarily the expected cash flows of the individual securities. Due to the illiquidity in the market, it is unlikely that the Company would be able to recover its investment in these securities if the Company sold the securities at this time.  The Company does not intend to sell these securities nor is it more likely than not the Company will be required to sell these securities before its anticipated recovery.

At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value.  Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses.  For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.

 

Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.  Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification.  Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

 

Impaired loans had a carrying amount of $44.9 million with specific loan loss allocations of $9.2 million in second quarter 2012, resulting in additional provision for loan losses of $4.1 million for the period. At December 31, 2011, impaired loans had a carrying amount of $54.4 million with a specific loan loss allocation of $9.7 million resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The majority of our impaired loans are collateralized by real estate.

 

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.  These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

 

OREO properties measured at fair value, less costs to sell, had a net carrying amount of $11.0 million which is made up of the outstanding balance of $19.0 million, net of a valuation allowance of $8.0 million at June 30, 2012, resulting in a write-down of $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2012. This compares to 2011 when OREO properties with a carrying value of $16.6 million were written down to their fair value of $8.8 million, which resulted in a charge to earnings of $7.8 million during the year.

The Methods and Assumptions Used to Estimate Fair Value

 

The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash, cash equivalents, due from banks, federal funds sold, short-term borrowings, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully.  Security fair values are based on the methods described above.

 

The carrying value and fair value of the subordinated debentures issued to capital trusts are estimated using market data for similarly risk weighted items to value them.   For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, the fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk.  Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values.  The fair value of loans held for sale is based on market quotes.  The fair value of debt and redeemable stock is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of the restricted securities due to restrictions placed on its transferability.  The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements.

Note 9.  Fair Value (Continued)

 

These include, among other items, the estimated earning potential of core deposit accounts, the earnings potential of loan servicing rights, customer goodwill and similar items.

 

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

 

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2.

 

(b) Loans

 

Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: Fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification.  Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously and carry a Level 3 classification. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

 

(c) Deposits

 

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 2 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

(d) Short-term Borrowings

 

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

(e) Other Borrowings

 

The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 or Level 3 classification.

 

The fair values of the Company’s Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

 

(f) Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable

 

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 1, 2 or 3 classification depending on the level its associated asset/liability is classified at.

 

(g) Off-balance Sheet Instruments

 

Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

 

Note 10. Participation in the Treasury Capital Purchase Program

 

On January 9, 2009, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with the United States Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”), pursuant to which the Company sold 32,668 shares of newly authorized Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, par value $1.00 per share and liquidation value $1,000 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) and also issued warrants (the “Warrants”) to the U.S. Treasury to acquire an additional 508,320 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $9.64 per share.

Note 10. Participation in the Treasury Capital Purchase Program (Continued)

 

The Series C Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and will pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. The Series C Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company at any time subject to consultation with the Federal Reserve.  The Series C Preferred Stock is not subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the ability of the Company to declare or pay dividends or distributions on, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for consideration, shares of its Common Stock will be subject to restrictions, including a restriction against increasing dividends from the last quarterly cash dividend per share $0.14 declared on the Common Stock prior to October 28, 2008.  The redemption, purchase or other acquisition of trust preferred securities of the Company or its affiliates also will be restricted.  These restrictions will terminate on the earlier of (a) the third anniversary of the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock and (b) the date on which the Preferred Stock has been redeemed in whole or the U.S. Treasury has transferred all of the Preferred Stock to third parties.

 

On August 10, 2009, the Company announced that it would defer scheduled dividend payments on the Series C, fixed rate cumulative, perpetual preferred stock.  Under the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into with the U.S. Treasury under the TARP program, if a company defers six dividend payments payable to the U.S. Treasury, the U.S. Treasury has the right to appoint up to two directors to its board of directors.  As of June 30, 2012 the two directors have been appointed. The Company is accruing the dividends in accordance to GAAP and the terms of the program.  At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 the amounts accrued are $5.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively.  The Company may, at its option with regulatory concurrence, redeem the deferred securities at their liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends at any time.

 

Both the preferred securities and the warrant are accounted for as components of regulatory Tier I capital.  Per accounting guidelines, the Company is accreting the discount for this instrument.

Note 12.  Income Taxes

 

In accordance with current income tax accounting guidance, the Company assessed whether a valuation allowance should be established against their deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) based on consideration of all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard. The most significant portions of the deductible temporary differences relate to (1) net operating loss carryforwards (2) the allowance for loan losses and (3) fair value adjustments or impairment write-downs related to securities.

 

In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, both the positive and negative evidence about the realization of DTAs were evaluated. The ultimate realization of DTAs is based on the Company’s ability to carryback net operating losses to prior tax periods, tax planning strategies that are prudent and feasible, and the reversal of deductible temporary differences that can be offset by taxable temporary differences and future taxable income.

 

After evaluating all of the factors previously summarized and considering the weight of the positive evidence compared to the negative evidence, the Company determined a full valuation adjustment was necessary as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012.  A three year cumulative loss position and continued near-term losses represent negative evidence that cannot be overcome with future taxable income.

 

Below is a summary of items included in the deferred tax inventory as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

 

    Balance at     Balance at        
    6/30/2012     12/31/2011     Change

On December 18, 2009, the Bank entered into an Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (“FRB”) and the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation (“IDFPR”). The Agreement describes commitments made by the Bank to address and strengthen banking practices relating to credit risk management practices; improving loan underwriting and loan administration; improving asset quality by enhancing the Bank’s position on problem loans through repayment, additional collateral or other means; reviewing and revising as necessary the Bank’s allowance for loan and lease losses policy; maintaining sufficient capital at the Bank, implementing an earnings plan and comprehensive budget to improve and sustain the Bank’s earnings; and improving the Bank’s liquidity position and funds management practices. The Bank has implemented enhancements to its processes to address the matters identified by the FRB and the IDFPR. The Company is in compliance with all the requirements specified in the agreement except for the Capital Plan. Management continues to aggressively pursue capital raising initiatives to comply with this provision; however, until a more definitive capital raise initiative is developed, the Company will continue to be held in noncompliance with this provision. In the meantime, the Agreement results in the Bank’s ineligibility for certain actions and expedited approvals without the prior written consent and approval of the FRB and the IDFPR.  These actions include, among other things, the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company, the Company cannot pay dividends on its common or preferred shares, payments of interest or principal on subordinated debentures, note payable to Cole Taylor, and Trust Preferred securities, the Company may not increase its debt level and the Company cannot redeem or purchase any shares of its stock.

 

The Company has incurred net losses of $0.4 million for the first six months of 2012 and $10.6 million for the full year 2011 due to loan losses and reduced net interest income.  The Company is subject to ongoing monitoring by its regulatory agencies and requires regulatory approval in order to make the quarterly interest payments to Cole Taylor under our debt agreements.  The Company has sufficient cash at June 30, 2012 and management believes regulatory approval will be obtained for the remaining interest payments due in 2012.  Should the Company and/or its bank subsidiary capital levels fall below “adequately capitalized”, regulatory actions may be taken including requiring us to have higher capital requirements than those required by Prompt Corrective Action regulations.  At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3.8% and 3.7% which is below the “adequately-capitalized” threshold for that ratio. Management is not aware of any further regulatory actions at this time.

Note 14.  Recent Accounting Developments

 

In May, 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. and International accounting principles. Overall, the guidance is consistent with existing U.S. accounting principles; however, there are some amendments that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  The amendments in this guidance are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance is included in this filing and included disclosure only.

 

In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholder’s equity. The amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. Public Companies: The amendments in this guidance are effective as of the beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of this amendment is included in this filing.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Table Amounts In Thousands, Except Share Data)

 

The following management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to address the significant factors affecting the Company’s results of operations and financial condition for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary to fairly present the results for the interim periods presented have been included. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. When we use the terms “Centrue,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” we mean Centrue Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries. When we use the term the “Bank,” we are referring to our wholly owned banking subsidiary, Centrue Bank.

 

The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and the accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All financial information in the following tables is displayed in thousands (000s), except per share data.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. By their nature, changes in these assumptions and estimates could significantly affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those critical accounting policies that are of particular significance to the Company are discussed in Note 1 of the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Securities: Securities are classified as available-for-sale when the Company may decide to sell those securities due to changes in market interest rates, liquidity needs, changes in yields on alternative investments, and for other reasons. They are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported in other comprehensive income. All of the Company’s securities are classified as available-for-sale. For all securities, we obtain fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. Due to the limited nature of the market for certain securities, the fair value and potential sale proceeds could be materially different in the event of a sale.

 

Realized securities gains or losses are reported in securities gains (losses), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Declines in the fair value of available for sale securities below their amortized cost are evaluated to determine whether the loss is temporary or other-than-temporary. If the Company (a) has the intent to sell a debt security or (b) is more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery, then the Company recognizes the entire unrealized loss in earnings as an other-than-temporary loss. If neither of these conditions are met, the Company evaluates whether a credit loss exists. The impairment is separated into (a) the amount of the total impairment related to the credit loss and (b) the amount of total impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings and the amount related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

The Company also evaluates whether the decline in fair value of an equity security is temporary or other-than-temporary. In determining whether an unrealized loss on an equity security is temporary or other-than-temporary, management considers various factors including the magnitude and duration of the impairment, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the equity security to forecasted recovery.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Table Amounts In Thousands, Except Share Data)

 

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for probable loan losses charged to expense, which 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. 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 guidance and rules stating that the analysis of the allowance for loan losses consists of three components:

 

  Specific Component. The specific credit allocation component is based on an analysis of individual impaired loans over a fixed-dollar amount where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification for which the recorded investment in the loan exceeds its fair value. 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. 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;
     
  Historical Loss Component. The historical loss component is mathematically based using a modified loss migration analysis that examines historical loan loss experience for each loan category. The loss migration 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 methodology utilized by management to calculate the historical loss portion of the allowance adequacy analysis is based on historical losses. This historical loss period is based on a weighted twelve-quarter average (3 years); and
     
  Qualitative Component. The qualitative component requires qualitative judgment and estimates reserves based on general economic conditions as well as specific economic factors believed to be relevant to the markets in which the Company operates. 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.

 

Other Real Estate Owned: Other real estate owned includes properties acquired in partial or total satisfaction of certain loans. Properties are recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. Any write-downs in the carrying value of a property at the time of acquisition are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Management periodically reviews the carrying value of other real estate owned. Any write-downs of the properties subsequent to acquisition, as well as gains or losses on disposition and income or expense from the operations of other real estate owned, are recognized in operating results in the period they are realized.

Additionally, the Company and its subsidiary, Centrue Bank, are subject to regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.

 

Results of Operations

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 equaled $0.1 million or a loss of $0.07 per common diluted share as compared to a net loss of $2.4 million or a loss of $0.48 per common diluted share in the second quarter of 2011. The Company’s principal subsidiary, Centrue Bank (the “Bank”), posted net income of $0.5 million for the second quarter compared to a net loss of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2011. For the first six months of 2012, the Company had a net loss $0.4 million or a loss of $0.24 per common diluted share as compared to a loss of $5.9 million or $1.14 per common diluted share for the same period in 2011. For the first six months of 2012, the Bank posted net income of $0.6 million compared to a net loss of $4.9 million for the first six months of 2011.

 

The results for the second quarter 2012 were adversely impacted by a $1.4 million provision for loan losses and OREO valuation adjustment of $0.7 million largely related to asset quality deterioration in the Company’s commercial and residential real estate portfolios and declining collateral values. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a $3.3 million provision for loan losses, $1.1 million OREO valuation adjustment and $0.1 million non-cash impairment charge on securities.

 

Net Interest Income/ Margin

 

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 details each category of average amounts outstanding for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, average rate earned on all interest-earning assets, average rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities and the net yield on average interest-earning assets. In addition, the table reflects the changes in net interest income stemming from changes in interest rates and from asset and liability volume, including mix. The change in interest attributable to both rate and volume has been allocated to the changes in the rate and the volume on a pro rata basis.

 

Fully tax equivalent net interest income for the second quarter 2012 decreased 13.7% to $6.3 million as compared to $7.3 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease in net interest income from 2011 was primarily due to average loan volume decline, increased rate competition for loan renewals and higher premium amortization due to increased prepayments and lower coupon income with adjustable resets in the security portfolio. Positively impacting net interest income were lower cost of funds led by a 52 basis points reduction in the yield on money market accounts.

 

The net interest margin was 3.11% for the second quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of 2 basis points from the 3.13% recorded at the second quarter of 2011. The Bank’s net interest margin was 3.31% for the second quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 10 basis points from 3.21% recorded at first quarter 2012 and a 3 basis point increase from the 3.29% from the second quarter of 2011. Due largely to the protracted economic downturn, the lost interest income on nonaccrual loans and the Company’s interest rate sensitivity, the margin will likely remain under pressure throughout 2012.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Table Amounts In Thousands, Except Share Data)

 

Fully tax equivalent net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $12.4 million, representing a decrease of $2.3 million or 15.6% compared to the $14.7 million earned during the same period in 2011. The net interest margin was 3.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, representing a decrease of 4 basis points from 3.11% recorded in the same period of 2011. The decrease of net interest income and the net interest margin was driven by the same factors impacting the second quarter.
