CIB MARINE BANCSHARES, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1-Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been omitted or abbreviated. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc.’s (“CIB Marine” or “Company”) 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2010 Form 10-K”). References to “CIB Marine” include CIB Marine’s subsidiaries unless otherwise specified. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly CIB Marine’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CIB Marine and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, including companies which are held for disposal. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities including the allowance for loan losses, valuation of investments and impairment, if any, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are based on various factors, including the current interest rate environment, value of collateral securing loans and investments, assessed probabilities of default of obligors in loans and investment securities, recent sales of investments and foreclosed collateral in the marketplace and economic conditions, both locally and nationally. Changes in these factors can significantly affect CIB Marine’s net interest income and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities.

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

Regulatory Actions

CIB Marine is subject to a Written Agreement (“Written Agreement”) entered into with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (“Federal Reserve Bank”) in the second quarter of 2004. The Written Agreement requires CIB Marine, among other things, to obtain Federal Reserve Bank approval before incurring additional borrowings or debt and also requires CIB Marine to maintain a sufficient capital position for the consolidated organization, including the current and future capital requirements of its subsidiary bank, nonbank subsidiaries and the consolidated organization. The Company is prohibited from paying any dividends without Federal Reserve Bank consent pursuant to the Written Agreement.

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

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIB Marine’s capital ratios were above the minimum levels required by the Written Agreement. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIBM Bank was in compliance with the minimum capital requirements as set forth in the Consent Order and believes it is in substantial compliance with the other requirements set forth in the Consent Order. CIBM Bank was classified as “adequately capitalized” as of September 30, 2011. See also Note 8-Stockholders’ Equity.

Reclassifications

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

Significant Accounting Policies

A provision for loan losses, which is a charge against earnings, is recorded to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level that, in management’s judgment, is appropriate to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Any changes in impairment on loans, including loans evaluated based on the present value of cash flow, are charged against the allowance for loan losses or as an additional provision for loan losses.

The calculation of the allowance for loan losses is revised based on management’s review of relevant environmental factors and economic conditions, including borrower and industry concentrations; levels and trends in delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries; changes in underwriting standards and risk selection; level of experience and ability of lending management; national and local economic conditions; industry conditions; effects of change in credit concentrations; and off-balance sheet positions. National and local economic conditions affecting interest rates, government spending, production, unemployment, real estate values, vacancy rates for residential and commercial properties factor into the Company’s judgment regarding any subjective adjustments for each portfolio segment that may be warranted.

Credit risks within the loan portfolio are inherently different for each loan type. Credit risk is controlled and monitored through the use of lending standards, a thorough review of potential borrowers, and on-going review of loan payment performance. Active asset quality administration, including early problem loan identification and timely resolution of problems, aids in the management of credit risk and minimization of loan losses. The credit risk related to commercial loans is largely influenced by general economic conditions and the resulting impact on a borrower’s operations or on the value of underlying collateral, if any.

Credit risk is managed in a similar manner for commercial real estate and construction and development loans by employing sound underwriting guidelines, lending primarily to borrowers in local markets (at the date of origination) and businesses with established track records of quality construction, periodically evaluating the underlying collateral, and formally reviewing the borrower’s financial soundness and relationship on an ongoing basis. The credit risk associated with commercial real estate and construction loans is generally confined to specific geographic areas but is also influenced by general economic conditions. Construction and development loans are subject to progress inspections and controlled advances. Speculative construction loans are maintained at a minimum, with a majority of such loans requiring pre-sale contracts or specified lease-up thresholds prior to construction commencement. Personal guarantees by principals of borrowing entities are a standard requirement and loans are typically variable rate with the rate set as a spread to either the prime lending rate or the 1-to-12 month U.S. Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for construction and development loans and fixed or variable rates with maturities of typically five years or less for commercial real estate. Risks inherent in managing a commercial real estate portfolio relate to either sudden or gradual drops in property values as a result of a general or local economic downturn. A decline in real estate values can cause the loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”) to increase and diminish CIB Marine’s or the Bank’s equity cushion on both an individual and portfolio basis.

Generally, the Bank requires a LTV ratio of 80% of the lesser of cost or appraised value for owner-occupied transactions. A borrower’s ability to repay is analyzed and policy calls for a minimum ongoing cash flow to debt service requirement of 1.20 to 1, although many loans exceed this. A board approved list of licensed commercial real estate appraisers is maintained. Each appraisal is scrutinized in an effort to ensure compliance with established appraisal guidelines and conformity with current comparable market values. The Bank generally requires personal guarantees on loans to closely-held entities as a matter of policy. Borrowers are required to provide, at a minimum, annual business and personal financial statements. Interest rate risk to the Bank is mitigated by using either floating interest rates or by fixing rates for an intermediate period of time, generally less than five years. In addition, loan amortization terms may be approved for up to a maximum number of months depending on the type of credit but not greater than 360 months for any loan, and maturity dates are generally five years or less, although exceptions are made. When the maturity term is less than the amortization term, the loan generally has a balloon payment due at the end of the term.

Credit risk for residential real estate, home equity and other consumer loans is generally influenced by general economic conditions, the income and employment of individual borrowers and the type and market value of loan collateral. Risks of loss are generally on smaller average balances per loan compared to commercial purpose loans and spread over many borrowers. Once charged-off, there is usually less opportunity for recovery on home equity and other consumer loans. Credit risk is primarily controlled by reviewing the creditworthiness of the borrowers, monitoring payment histories, and taking appropriate collateral and guaranty positions. Residential loans have amortization terms up to 360 months with maturity dates up to ten years, and interest rates can be either fixed rate or adjustable annually as a spread to the one-year U.S. Treasury or LIBOR rates after an initial period that can be from one to ten years. Home equity loans are either lines of credit with interest rates that are adjustable monthly and set as a spread to the prime lending rate or fixed rate with amortization terms up to 360 months and maturity dates up to 15 months. Consumer loans are generally variable rate lines of credit, overdraft protection accounts, or fixed rate with terms, depending on the collateral and type, of up to six years.

Credit risk for the purchased home equity pool loans is greatly influenced by local and national economic trends, including unemployment rates and home prices.

Nontraditional Residential Real Estate. Residential real estate loans do not include nontraditional mortgage loans (i.e. pay-option, reverse mortgages or interest only). The home equity loans and the purchased home equity pools include some loans with interest only periods, but none with pay option or reverse mortgage terms, and loans where the LTV at origination were greater than 90% but less than or equal to 100% without private mortgage insurance.

Subprime Loans. Consistent with the Company’s loan policy, none of the residential real estate loans, home equity loans, purchased home equity pools or other consumer loans include sub-prime originated loans (i.e. loans originated with a Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) score less than 640). A limited amount (less than 10%) of residential real estate, home equity and purchased home equity pools were originated with FICO scores between 640 and 660 but none of these were originated with an LTV above 100% and other credit conditions were required to be met.

Purchased Home Equity Pools. At such time that the purchased home equity pools were acquired in 2006 and 2007, the underlying loans were newly originated with current FICO scores and appraised values, and were performing and not past due. Based on CIB Marine’s analysis at time of purchase, there were no identifiable incurred losses for any of the loans and full contractual payment was expected (consistent with the premium paid to acquire the loans). As a result, it was determined that the acquired loans individually or on a pool basis did not indicate evidence of credit deterioration and as such Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-30 did not apply at the dates of acquisition. In determining the appropriateness under U.S. GAAP of the reserve level, probable incurred losses that are reasonably estimable are calculated using loss rates derived from recent experience of delinquent loans charge-offs and loss rates assigned to performing loans. The loan loss reserves are set within a range of the loan loss reserve estimates based on current trending net charge-off rates for the segment and after considering other environmental factors, including housing and labor market conditions.

New Accounting Pronouncements

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

In April 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and clarified when creditors such as banks should classify loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). Banks will now need to consider all available evidence when evaluating whether a loan modification is a TDR. In addition to the required new disclosures, the guidance provides criteria to evaluate if a TDR exists based on whether (1) the restructuring constitutes a concession by the creditor, and (2) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty. This new guidance was applied retrospectively to restructurings occurring after the beginning of the year and the disclosures became effective with this reporting period. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on CIB Marine’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant. For those securities with fair value less than cost at September 30, 2011, because CIB Marine does not intend to sell the investment nor is it more likely than not that CIB Marine will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their respective amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, CIB Marine does not consider those securities to have been OTTI at quarter end or prior, except for the following: (1) seven residential mortgage-backed securities (non-agencies) (“Non-agency MBS”) with $0.1 million and $0.2 million credit-related OTTI recognized during the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and (2) two trust preferred collateralized debt obligations with no credit-related OTTI recognized during the first nine months of 2011 and 2010.

There were no sales of securities available for sale during the first nine months of 2011. Proceeds from the sales of securities available for sale during the first nine months of 2010 totaled $1.1 million and CIB Marine realized a $0.2 million gain on the sale.

Net unrealized losses on investment securities at September 30, 2011 were $3.4 million compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2010. At September 30, 2011, trust preferred collateralized debt obligations accounted for $5.0 million in net unrealized losses. The remaining securities had net unrealized gains of $1.6 million at September 30, 2011.

Trust Preferred Collateralized Debt Obligations. At September 30, 2011, CIB Marine held trust preferred collateralized debt obligations (“TPCDOs”) of $8.6 million par value with an amortized cost of $8.3 million and fair value of $3.3 million. The fair value of those securities was $3.0 million at December 31, 2010. To a limited extent those securities are protected against credit loss by credit enhancements, such as over-collateralization and subordinated securities. Unless they are the most senior class security in the structure, however, they also may be subordinated to more senior classes as identified later in this section. All the TPCDOs have collateral pools and are not single-issuer securities. Preferred Term Securities, LTD (“PreTSLs”) 27 A-1 and 28 A-1 are the most senior classes where all other classes issued in those pools are subordinated to them, and PreTSLs 23 C-FP and 26 B-1 are mezzanine or subordinated classes - but not the most deeply subordinated classes of securities in their pools.

Due to uncertainties related to timing and amounts of future payments for Class C-FP of PreTSL 23 and Class B-1 of PreTSL 26 TPCDOs, CIB Marine considers them to be OTTI and has previously recorded $0.2 million total-to-date credit-related OTTI and placed them on nonaccrual status. There has been no new credit-related OTTI for the quarter or nine months ending September 30, 2011. Further deterioration in the financial industry beyond what is currently expected could result in additional OTTI related to credit loss that would be recognized through a reduction in earnings. The $5.0 million of unrealized loss recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) at September 30, 2011 is largely related to deteriorations in credit quality of many of the issuers represented in the collateral pools and high liquidity premiums for securities of this type and quality. For CIB Marine’s holdings in PreTSL 23 and 26 at September 30, 2011, the deferrals and defaults of issuers in the collateral pools have risen to a level that holders of those securities began receiving “payments-in-kind” (“PIK”) at the June 2009 payment date. Taken in combination with expected future deferrals and defaults given the deterioration in the financial industry, the two securities are considered to be OTTI. At this time, CIB Marine expects that the cash payments will be restored at some time in the future and CIB Marine will be paid all amounts due under the contractual arrangement except for the total-to-date credit-related OTTI of $0.2 million. With the exception of the contractual PIK process, the TPCDOs were performing as to full and timely payments at September 30, 2011, as required under the respective contractual arrangements.

To determine whether or not OTTI is evident, the projected cash flows are discounted using the Index Rate plus the original discount margin. The Index Rate for each security is the 3-Month US Dollar LIBOR rate. The discount rates are as follows: LIBOR + 0.73% for PreTSL 23 C-FP, LIBOR + 0.56% for PreTSL 26 B-1, LIBOR + 0.30% for PreTSL 27 A-1 and LIBOR + 0.90% for PreTSL 28 A-1. Other key assumptions used in deriving cash flows for the pool of collateral for determining whether OTTI exists include default rate scenarios with annualized default rate vectors starting at 2.5% and declining towards 0.25% by year 2014, loss severity rates of approximately 85%, or a recovery rate of 15%, and prepayment speeds of approximately 1% per annum. All current defaults are applied a loss severity of 100%, or a recovery rate of 0%, and all current deferrals are applied a loss severity of 85%, or a recovery rate of 15%, with a two to five year recovery lag and all future deferral or default events are considered to be defaults with a two year recovery lag and loss severity of 85%, or a recovery rate of 15%.

The excess subordination as a percentage of the remaining performing collateral is calculated by taking the difference of total performing collateral less the current class balances of senior classes divided by the current class balances of those senior to and including the respective class for which the measure is applicable. The higher the ratio the more collateral protection against future credit loss and the lower the ratio the greater the probability of future loss. A negative ratio does not necessarily mean there will be a loss since a class may be senior to other classes and have priority over the collateral and related payments, and payment waterfall mechanisms are designed to correct the deficiency over time with sufficient performance from the underlying collateral. The table below shows the affects of class seniority in the coverage ratio and the amount of additional collateral defaults that would be required to break the yield of the class after accounting for the affects of the payment waterfalls on a class through maturity of the class. These payment waterfall mechanisms are used in the analyses to determine the amount of credit-related OTTI, if any.

The percent of additional immediate defaults of performing collateral at a 85% loss severity rate that would cause a break in yield, meaning that the security would not receive all its contractual cash flows through maturity even though a class could enter a period where payments received are PIK but later paid in cash in addition to any accrued interest on the PIKs. Based on a collateral level analysis, PreTSL 23 and 26 projected deferrals and defaults indicate there would be a break in yield resulting in credit component OTTI.

The percentage points by which the class is over or (under) collateralized with respect to its collateral ratio thresholds at which cash payments are to be received from lower classes or directed to higher classes (i.e., if the coverage actual over (under) is negative). A current positive (negative) coverage ratio by itself does not necessarily mean that there will be a full receipt (shortfall) of contractual cash flows through maturity as actual results realized with respect to future defaults, default timing, loss severities, recovery timing, redirections of payments in other classes and other factors could act to cause (correct) a deficiency at a future date.

A point within a range of estimates for the percent of future deferrals and defaults to performing collateral used in assessing credit-related OTTI.

Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (Non-agencies). The unrealized losses in Non-agency MBS are primarily the result of deteriorated asset quality and financial market liquidity conditions. This has impacted the market prices to varying degrees for each respective security based upon the relative credit quality and liquidity premiums applicable to each security. At September 30, 2011, CIB Marine had Non-agency MBS holdings of $27.9 million par value with a fair value of $25.4 million, down from holdings at December 31, 2010 of $39.3 million par value with a fair value of $36.2 million. The decline of $11.4 million in par value was primarily due to the repayment of principal.

At September 30, 2011, securities with a par value of $19.2 million and unrealized losses of $1.5 million were below investment grade compared to securities with a par value of $26.1 million and unrealized losses of $1.9 million at December 31, 2010. The decline of $6.9 million in par value was primarily due to the repayment of principal. CIB Marine’s principal and interest payments received on these securities from the purchase date through September 30, 2011 have all been timely and in full except for two securities with credit-related OTTI, where payments received have been timely but with amounts reduced by losses previously recognized as credit-related OTTI where subordinated tranches are no longer able to absorb the loss. The table below displays the current composition of the Non-agency MBS portfolio as of September 30, 2011, based on the lowest credit rating assigned by any of the rating agencies.

CIB Marine does not intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of its Non-agency MBS before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity. For seven Non-agency MBS, credit-related OTTI is evident and $0.1 million has been recognized in earnings during the first nine months of 2011 and $0.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2010. Additional OTTI may be recognized in the future if performance of the underlying collateral deteriorates more or for a longer period than currently projected, or if CIB Marine decides that it intends to sell, sells or determines that it is more likely than not that it will become required to sell the securities prior to full recovery of their respective amortized cost bases.

The table below summarizes the Non-agency MBS in which OTTI has been recognized during the current or prior periods. In making estimates of credit losses for those securities with OTTI, some of the key assumptions for the underlying residential mortgage loan collateral for September 30, 2011 included annualized prepayment speeds ranging between 5.5% and 12.0%, future cumulative default rates ranging between 22% and 51%, weighted average loss severity rates ranging between 45% and 57%, and resulting future cumulative collateral loss rates ranging between 10% and 29%. Resulting cash flows were projected considering the affects of related securities sharing an interest in the same pool of collateral to derive expected credit loss outcomes through maturity.

Nonperforming loans here means past due 60 or more days, in foreclosure or held as OREO. The full amount of nonperforming loans are not expected to translate into a dollar-for-dollar loss to the collateral pool due to borrower efforts to bring the loans current or sell the mortgage residential properties or collection activities of the servicing agents that includes liquidation of collateral and the pursuit of deficiencies where available from the borrowers.

Although total past due loans decreased overall, nonaccrual loans past due greater than 90 days increased by $1.8 million from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011, primarily due to deterioration in the commercial real estate non-owner occupied loan segment. Nonaccrual loans that are not past due often represent loans with deep collateral depreciation, and significantly deteriorated financial condition with weakened guarantors, where applicable, but have been able to make payments or bring loans current.

Nonaccrual loans decreased $9.7 million from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011, primarily due to charge-offs and improvements in construction and development and commercial loans, offset by increases in the commercial real estate non-owner occupied class. Most nonaccrual loans are considered to be impaired. However, in 2011, there has been an increase in the amount of troubled debt restructurings that are accounted for as impaired loans that have experienced improved performance and have met the criteria to restore to accrual status thereby accounting for the increased difference between impaired and nonaccrual loans.

The allowance for loan losses increased $0.8 million from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011 primarily due to an increase in allowances for the commercial real estate segment as a result of deterioration in credit quality and increased charge-offs. Total loan balances declined by $52.5 million for the same period as a result of reduced lending activity and declines in all segment balances except for residential real estate.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company has allocated $1.9 million and $1.7 million of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified as TDR at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company has no additional lending commitments at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDR.

A TDR on nonaccrual status is classified as a nonaccrual loan until evaluation supports a reasonable assurance of repayment and of performance according to the modified terms of the loan. TDRs on nonaccrual status generally remain on nonaccrual status until the borrower’s financial condition supports the debt service requirements and at least a six-month payment history.

At September 30, 2011, there were $16.5 million of TDR loans, of which $5.7 million were classified as nonaccrual and $10.8 million were classified as restructured loans and accruing. At December 31, 2010, there were $19.6 million TDR loans, of which $14.1 million were classified as nonaccrual and $5.5 million were classified as restructured loans and accruing.

In accordance with new accounting guidance, the following tables show the modifications for TDRs made during the quarter and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and TDRs for which there were payment defaults during the periods on modifications made during the prior twelve months:

Credit Quality Indicators

CIB Marine categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. CIB Marine analyzes commercial, commercial real estate and construction and development loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. The process of analyzing loans for changes in risk rating is ongoing through quarterly monitoring of the portfolio, annual internal credit reviews for loans greater than $1 million at the time of refinance or TDR and annual independent loan reviews that sample a majority of loan balances targeted to higher risk and higher concentrated areas of the portfolio. CIB Marine has engaged knowledgeable outside vendors approved by the board of directors to perform loan reviews annually, with the most recent having been performed during the third quarter of 2011. Management compares the results of such reviews to its own internal analysis and utilizes the results in support of current credit risk ratings and classifications. CIB Marine uses the following definitions for credit risk ratings:

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

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

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

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

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and based on the most recent analysis performed as of those dates, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

Substandard-nonaccrual loans decreased primarily due to charge-offs and improvements in quality in the commercial, construction and development and commercial real estate owner occupied segments partially offset by deterioration in the commercial real estate non-owner occupied class. Substandard-accrual and special mention loans decreased primarily as loans in commercial real estate non-owner occupied segment migrated to substandard-nonaccrual.

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans serviced for others were $1.1 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The OREO balance increased during the first nine months of 2011 due to increased foreclosure activity related to commercial real estate and construction and development loans.

Note 5- Company Held For Disposal

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, assets and liabilities of a company held for disposal consist entirely of the remaining assets and liabilities of CIB Marine’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CIB Construction, including CIB Construction’s subsidiary, Canron. In August 2005, Canron authorized and began liquidation distributions to its shareholders and in December 2006, Canron filed Articles of Dissolution.

During the second quarter of 2011, Canron distributed payment of $0.4 million to the Company which was reported as pretax income from discontinued operations on the income statement. Final distributions are expected during 2011. At both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIB Construction’s net carrying value of its investment in Canron was zero.

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

Note 7-Long-term Borrowings
 
Long-term borrowings of $5.0 million and $10.0 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, consisted of borrowings from the FHLBC having an original maturity of greater than one year. All of the borrowings are fixed-rate borrowings collateralized by residential mortgage-backed securities. CIB Marine is required to maintain qualifying collateral as security for both short-term and long-term FHLBC borrowings. The maximum collateral margin available for the qualifying residential mortgage-backed securities pledged as collateral is between 66% and 96% of market value, depending on the type of collateral. CIBM Bank had assets pledged at the FHLBC sufficient to support total borrowings of $10.9 million and $17.8 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These assets consisted of securities with a fair value of $11.9 million and $19.1 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. As a result, additional borrowings available at the FHLBC at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $5.9 million and $7.8 million, respectively.
 
Note 8-Stockholders’ Equity

Regulatory Capital

CIB Marine and CIBM Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the banking agencies. Pursuant to federal bank holding company and bank regulations, CIB Marine and CIBM Bank are assigned to a capital category. The assigned capital category is largely determined by three ratios that are calculated in accordance with specific instructions included in the regulations: total risk adjusted capital, Tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the bank’s assets and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. A bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. To be categorized as well capitalized, a bank must maintain total risk adjusted capital, Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios of 10.0%, 6.0% and 5.0%, respectively, and not be subject to any written agreement, order, capital directives or prompt corrective action directive issued by the Federal Reserve Bank in the case of CIB Marine or the FDIC in the case of CIBM Bank.

At both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIB Marine was subject to the Written Agreement it entered into with the Federal Reserve Bank. Among other items, the Written Agreement requires CIB Marine to maintain a sufficient capital position for the consolidated organization including the current and future capital requirements of its subsidiary bank, nonbank subsidiaries and the consolidated organization.

At both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIBM Bank was under a Consent Order with the FDIC and its state banking regulator. The Consent Order, among other things, requires CIBM Bank to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10% and maintain a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 12%. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIBM Bank’s Tier 1 leverage and risk-based capital ratios were in excess of the minimum ratios for capital adequacy purposes and hence, the Company was considered to be classified as adequately-capitalized under the regulatory definitions. The actual and required capital amounts and ratios (as defined in the regulations) for CIB Marine and CIBM Bank are presented in the tables below. As noted earlier, CIBM Bank is subject to the Consent Order requiring it to maintain capital at a level greater than the quantitative level required to be considered “well capitalized” under applicable regulations.

Pursuant to the Consent Order, CIBM Bank is required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of at least 10% and a total risk based capital ratio of 12%; as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, this is equivalent to Tier 1 capital of $53.4 million and $61.2 million and total capital of $52.9 million and $61.0 million, respectively.

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

Options to purchase 445,771 and 492,141 shares of common stock for the quarters and 449,495 and 610,190 shares of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the exercise price of the outstanding stock options was greater than the average market price of the common shares (anti-dilutive options).

At September 30, 2011 and 2010, the assumed conversion of Series B preferred stock represents a potential common stock issuance of 17.5 million shares. The effect of the potential issuance of common stock associated with the Series B preferred stock was deemed to be anti-dilutive and, therefore, was excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the periods ending September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Lending-Related and Other Commitments

CIB Marine is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. CIB Marine has entered into commitments to extend credit and on a limited basis to make certain other investments in non-affiliated entities, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheets. CIB Marine considers the facts and circumstances of each of the other commitments, as well as the historical losses, if any, and the relevant economic conditions to inform management’s judgment regarding changes for related credit exposures.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments that CIB Marine issues to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. The maximum potential future payments guaranteed by CIB Marine under standby letter of credit arrangements was $1.9 million and $2.1 million with a weighted average term of approximately 12 months and 11 months at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Contingent Liabilities

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

Note 11-Fair Value

The following table presents information about CIB Marine’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that CIB Marine has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets where there are few transactions and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used to measure recurring financial instruments at fair value, including the classification of related pricing inputs.

Securities Available for Sale. Where quoted market prices are available from active markets with high volumes of frequent trades for identical securities, the security is presented as a Level 1 input security. These would include predominantly U.S. Treasury Bills, Notes and Bonds. Securities classified under Level 2 inputs include those where quoted market prices are available from an active market of similar but not identical securities, where pricing models use the U.S. Treasury or LIBOR swap yield curves, where market quoted volatilities are used, and where correlated or market corroborated inputs are used such as prepayment speeds, expected default and loss severity rates. Securities with predominantly Level 2 inputs and using a market approach to valuation include U.S. government agency and government sponsored enterprise issued securities and mortgage-backed securities, certain corporate or foreign sovereign debt securities, private issue mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities, equity securities with quoted market prices but low or infrequent trades and debt obligations of states and political subdivisions. Where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are either not available, or are significantly adjusted, the securities are classified under Level 3 inputs. The available for sale securities using Level 3 inputs were trust preferred securities collateralized debt obligations with fair values measured using predominantly the income valuation approach (present value technique), where expected future cash flows less expected losses were discounted using a discount rate consisting of benchmark interest rates plus credit, liquidity and option premium spreads from similar and comparable, but not identical, types of debt instruments and from models. The credit and liquidity premium spreads used in the discount rates and the credit factors used in deriving cash flows represent significant unobservable inputs.

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

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

Other Real Estate Owned. The fair value of OREO is generally determined based upon outside appraisals using observable market data for the same or similar real estate (Level 2). Adjustments to the appraised values are largely related to market correlated or corroborated information such as observed changes in local real estate prices and broker costs. These were deemed to be Level 2 inputs since in general, the market-based information was considered to be the primary determinant of the value after market correlated and corroborated information and the brokerage costs are largely fixed percentages that do not vary or change other than nominally. The carrying value of a foreclosed asset is immediately adjusted down when new information is obtained. This new information may include a new appraisal, a potentially acceptable offer, the sale of a similar property in the vicinity of one of the Company’s assets and/or a change in the price the property is being listed for based on market forces.

Fair value amounts represent estimates of value at a point in time. Significant estimates regarding economic conditions, loss experience, risk characteristics associated with particular financial instruments and other factors were used for the purposes of this disclosure. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve matters of judgment. Therefore, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the assumptions could have a material impact on the amounts estimated.

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

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

Because of the wide range of valuation techniques and the numerous estimates that must be made, it may be difficult to make reasonable comparisons of CIB Marine’s fair value to that of other financial institutions. It is important that the many uncertainties discussed above be considered when using the estimated fair value disclosures and to realize that because of these uncertainties the aggregate fair value should in no way be construed as representative of the underlying value of CIB Marine.

The following describes the methodology and assumptions used to estimate fair value of financial instruments.

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

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

Federal Home Loan Bank. There is no market for FHLBC stock and it may only be sold back to the FHLBC or another member institution at par with the FHLBC and the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (“FHFA”) approval. As a result, its cost, and its par amount at this time represents its carrying amount. The carrying amount of FHLBC stock was $11.6 million at both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Accrued Interest Receivable. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

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

Short-term Borrowings. The carrying value of short-term borrowings payable within three months or less approximates their fair value. The estimated fair value of borrowed funds with a maturity greater than three months is based on quoted market prices, when available. Borrowed funds with a maturity greater than three months for which quoted prices were not available were valued using the income approach to valuation by discounting expected future cash flows by a current market rate for similar types of debt. For purposes of this disclosure, short-term borrowings are those borrowings with stated final maturities of less than or equal to one year, including securities sold under agreements to repurchase, U.S. Treasury tax and loan notes, lines of credit, commercial paper and other similar borrowings.

Long-term Borrowings. The fair market value of long-term borrowings payable was estimated using the income approach to valuation by discounting the expected future cash flows using current interest rates for instruments with similar terms.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments. The fair value and carrying value of letters of credit and unused and open ended lines of credit have been estimated based on the unearned fees charged for those commitments, net of accrued liability for probable losses.

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

The following is a discussion and analysis that presents CIB Marine’s consolidated financial condition as of September 30, 2011, and its changes in financial condition and results of operations for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, as well as CIB Marine’s 2010 Form 10-K.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

There are inherent difficulties in predicting factors that may affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements. These factors include those referenced in Part I, Item 1A-Risk Factors of CIB Marine’s 2010 Form 10-K, and as may be described from time to time in CIB Marine’s subsequent Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, and such factors are incorporated herein by reference. See also Part II, Item 1-Legal Proceedings of this Form 10-Q.

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

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

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

Overview

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

Critical Accounting Policies

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Income Taxes. CIB Marine believes it has adequately accrued for all probable income taxes payable and provided valuation allowances for deferred tax assets where it has been determined to be not more likely than not that such assets are realizable. Accrual of income taxes payable and valuation allowances against deferred tax assets are estimates subject to change based upon the outcome of future events.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations- Summary

Net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2011 was $0.6 million, or an improvement of $7.2 million compared to the net loss of $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2010. Net loss from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2011 was $3.8 million, or an improvement of $9.3 million compared to the net loss of $13.1 million for the first nine months of 2010. The reduction in the net loss between periods was primarily due to a reduction in the provision for loan losses and lower noninterest expense. The third quarter 2011 provision for loan losses was $5.0 million lower than the third quarter of 2010, and the first nine months of 2011 was $7.3 million lower than the first nine months of 2010 due primarily to an improvement in credit quality and recoveries in the purchased home equity pools. In addition, CIB Marine recognized $0.4 million in net income from discontinued operations due to a distribution from Canron during the second quarter of 2011.

Net interest income increased $0.1 million, or 0.9%, from $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2010 to $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2011. Net interest income decreased $0.5 million, or 3.1%, from $15.7 million in the first nine months of 2010 to $15.2 million in the first nine months of 2011. The increase in the third quarter was mainly attributable to improved loan yields and reduced average costs of deposits, and the decrease for the first nine months was mainly attributable to the continued decline in the volume of earning assets.

Total interest income decreased $0.9 million, or 12.7%, from $7.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 to $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2011. The decrease was due to a $0.7 million, or 36.8%, decrease in interest income on securities and a $0.3 million, or 5.6%, decrease in interest income on loans during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period 2010. The decrease in interest income on the securities resulted primarily from a $51.1 million strategic reduction in average balances. The decrease in interest income on loans resulted primarily from a $49.4 million reduction in average loan balances, partially offset by a 35 basis point improvement in loan yields due in part to declining nonaccrual loan balances and one-time recoveries of interest on previously charged-off purchased home equity loans of $0.2 million during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Total interest income decreased $3.4 million, or 14.7%, from $23.1 million in the first nine months of 2010 to $19.7 million in the first nine months of 2011. The decrease was due to a $2.3 million, or 36.9% decrease in interest income on securities and a $1.2 million, or 7.1%, decrease in interest income on loans during the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period 2010. The decrease in interest income on the securities resulted primarily from a $56.1 million strategic reduction in average balances. The decrease in interest income on loans resulted primarily from a $51.4 million reduction in average loan balances, partially offset by a 25 basis point improvement in loan yields due in part to declining nonaccrual loan balances and one-time recoveries of interest on previously charged-off purchased home equity loans of $0.3 million.

Total interest expense decreased $1.0 million, or 43.8%, from $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2010 to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.8 million, or 47.4%, reduction in interest expense on time deposits. This decrease was due to a 32 basis point decline in average interest costs paid on time deposits and a $127.0 million strategic reduction in average balances for time deposits. CIB Marine reduced time deposits and corresponding securities and interest-bearing due from bank balances to reduce total assets as part of its capital management plan in a manner consistent with its liquidity and interest rate risk management strategies. In addition, this planned reduction was due to the limited earning opportunities from the difference in rates paid on the time deposits versus the available interest rate paid on government securities of comparable term, as well as the limited lending opportunities in the local geographies.

Total interest expense decreased $2.9 million, or 39.4%, from $7.3 million in the first nine months of 2010 to $4.4 million in the first nine months of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.7 million, or 44.8%, decrease in interest expense on time deposits. This decrease was due to a 31 basis point decline in average interest costs paid on time deposits and due to a $129.6 million strategic reduction in average balances for time deposits.

CIB Marine’s net interest margin, which is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets, increased by 70 basis points from 3.14% during the third quarter of 2010 to 3.84% during the third quarter of 2011 and its net interest spread, which is the difference between the rate earned on average interest-earning assets and the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities increased 77 basis points during the same period. During the first nine months of 2011, the net interest margin increased significantly by 53 basis points from 3.13% during the first nine months of 2010 to 3.66% and its net interest spread increased 59 basis points during the same period. The net interest margin increase was primarily due to the improved cost and composition of interest-bearing liabilities, with an increased percent comprising lower cost non-time deposits. Average yields of interest-earning assets increased 27 basis points and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 50 basis points for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Average yield of interest-earning assets increased 14 basis points and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 45 basis points for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for loan losses is predominantly a function of the Company’s reserving methodology and judgments as to other qualitative and quantitative factors used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, which focuses on changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio, changes in levels of impaired and other nonaccrual loans, historical losses and delinquencies on each portfolio category, the risk inherent in specific loans, concentrations of loans to specific borrowers or industries, existing economic conditions, the fair value of underlying collateral, and other factors which could affect potential credit losses. The provision for loan losses was $1.6 million and $6.6 million for the quarters, and $4.4 million and $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

During the first nine months of 2011, the provision for loan losses continued to be adversely affected by the deteriorated market conditions for real estate and, in particular, the commercial real estate loan segment, where an additional provision of $5.7 million was made compared to $3.2 million during the same period in 2010. Offsetting this additional provision were reversals in the provision for the purchased home equity pools due to the level of recoveries received, and in the commercial segment due to improved classifications and reduced volume of $1.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. There can be no certainty as to whether the Company will experience improved credit quality or recoveries during future quarters so as to permit the Company to record further reversals of the provision, or whether additional provisions may be required.

Although several segments have shown improvement in provisions in 2011 relative to last year, as shown in the accompanying tables and Note 3-Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses in Part I, Item 1 of this report, classified and nonaccrual loan volumes continue to be elevated and the deteriorated real estate markets and tepid jobs recovery continues to adversely affect the Bank’s borrowers.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $0.5 million from $0.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to $0.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. This third quarter increase was primarily due to a $0.4 million gain on sale of assets from the sale of loans held for sale during 2011. Noninterest income increased $0.1 million from $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase for the first nine month of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was also primarily due to the $0.3 million increase in gain on sale of assets which was mostly offset by a $0.2 million decrease in gain on sale of securities.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense decreased $1.6 million, from $6.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to $4.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Total noninterest expense decreased $2.2 million from $17.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in both periods was due to reductions in: compensation and employee benefits resulting from a reduction in full-time equivalent employees at the Company; occupancy and premises expense resulting from lease write-offs for closed offices taken during 2010; FDIC insurance assessments resulting from lower deposit balances and a change made by the FDIC for banks in the assessment base and rate; professional services; write downs and losses on assets; and other expense. During the third quarter of 2010, write downs and losses on assets consisted of $0.2 million in write down of fixed assets, $0.1 million in write down of OREO and $0.1 million of loss on sale of loans held for sale. During the first nine months of 2011, write downs and losses on assets primarily consisted of $0.9 million of OREO compared to $0.2 million of OREO, $0.2 million of fixed assets and $0.6 million of loss on sale of loans held for sale during the first nine months of 2010.

Income Taxes

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

Financial Condition

Overview

Total assets continued a strategic decline to $517.4 million at September 30, 2011 compared to year-end 2010 total assets of $589.0 million. During 2011 and 2010, CIB Marine and CIBM Bank employed various strategies to reduce and deleverage their balance sheets and maintain their regulatory capital ratios. In addition to reducing securities available for sale by $31.2 million during the first nine months of 2011, total loans also decreased by $52.5 million during the same period. Cash and due from banks increased $14.2 million in the first nine months of 2011 as loans and securities decreased by more than deposits. Total liabilities declined by $69.5 million during the first nine months of 2011, primarily due to the reductions in time deposits of $66.1 million partially offset by increased balances in non-maturing savings deposits.

Securities Available for Sale

Total securities available for sale at September 30, 2011 were $95.7 million, a decrease of $31.2 million, or 24.6%, from $126.9 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to prepayments, repayments and maturities from the existing portfolio.

The net unrealized loss on securities available for sale was $3.4 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2010. The net unrealized losses are mainly in TPCDOs and Non-agency MBS, resulting from adverse credit quality and decreased liquidity for these securities.

At September 30, 2011, 7.5% of the securities portfolio consisted of U.S. government agency securities, 57.5% of mortgage-backed securities and 31.4% of obligations of states and political subdivisions compared to 10.2%, 64.1% and 23.2% at December 31, 2010, respectively. The ratio of total securities to total assets was 18.5% and 21.5% at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Loans Held for Sale

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, loans held for sale were $4.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively. Loan sales of $2.1 million occurred during the third quarter of 2011 and resulted in recognized gains on sale of $0.4 million. At September 30, 2011, loans held for sale totaling $0.7 million were on nonaccrual status compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2010.

Loans

Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, were $347.8 million at September 30 2011, a decrease of $53.3 million or 13.3%, from $401.1 million at December 31, 2010, and represented 67.2% and 68.1% of CIB Marine’s total assets at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Credit Procedures and Review

Home equity loan underwriting guidelines consider, but are not limited to, the following: borrower payment history with the Bank and others, the length and stability of the borrower’s employment, derived debt-to-qualified-income ratio and collateral value. In general, cumulative LTVs are not to exceed 80% and, depending on the ratio of each, the minimum FICO score is 640 and the maximum Debt-to-Income (“DTI”) ratio is 45%. Exceptions may be authorized under the Bank’s loan policy. As a general practice, the Bank does not originate sub-prime home equity loans and lines of credit. Prior to 2009, DTIs of up to 55% or LTVs of up to 100% were acceptable for borrowers that met certain other criteria. Home equity lines of credit are revolving lines with five year draw periods with variable rates indexed to the prime lending rate. Home equity term loans are fixed rate with amortization terms of up to 30 years and maturity dates of up to 15 years.

In addition to regulatory and on-going internal monitoring of credits, when a loan has deteriorated to a credit risk category of special mention or worse, credit administration increases scrutiny of the overall credit and collateral analysis. As part of this review, all underlying collateral is identified and the valuation methodology is analyzed and tracked. As a result, the credit risk rating is reviewed and an impairment reserve may be established, or if the loan is deemed collateral dependent, a portion of the outstanding loan balance may be charged off if that portion is deemed uncollectible. In the case of commercial real estate collateral, an independent third party appraisal may be ordered from a Board of Directors-approved appraiser list to determine if there has been any change in the underlying collateral value. These independent appraisals are typically reviewed as a matter of practice by a trained appraisal reviewer for the Company and may be adjusted depending upon market conditions. An appraisal is generally ordered at least once a year for these loans, or more often if market conditions dictate. In the event that the underlying value of the collateral cannot be easily determined, a detailed alternate valuation methodology is prepared.

In calculating the fair value of collateral for collateral-dependent loans, which is used in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, CIB Marine discounts the appraised value by up to 20% depending on the age of the appraisal and market conditions, then adjusts that net valuation further for selling expenses in measuring impairment. In addition, the appropriateness of appraisals that are more than six months old is considered in evaluating impairment for collateral dependent loans. Items considered in determining the appropriateness of adjustments to appraisals include further recent market deterioration, the property type and condition, and other valuations or sales of comparable properties. If these loans are on nonaccrual status, greater emphasis is placed on liquidation value as a basis for identifying potential impairment. CIB Marine continuously re-assesses the timeliness and propriety of appraisals for collateral dependent loans. The Company uses a variety of sources, such as recent sales of loans and sales of OREO, to validate the collateral values used to determine the amount of loss exposure at the measurement date.

CIB Marine has engaged knowledgeable outside vendors, approved by the Board of Directors, to perform loan reviews annually, with the most recent review having been performed during the third quarter of 2011. Management compares the results of such reviews to its own internal analysis and utilizes the results in support of current credit risk ratings and classifications.

Allowance for Loan Losses

CIB Marine monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the amount of provision for loan losses and recoveries of previously charged-off loans, and is decreased by the amount of loans charged-off and reversal of prior provisions. The allowance is also increased or decreased for a change in the credit quality of segments of the portfolio. The level of the allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of an amount appropriate to provide for probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. Management’s allowance methodology includes an impairment analysis on specifically identified loans defined as impaired by the Company and an assessment of groups of loans evaluated collectively for impairment, as well as other qualitative and quantitative factors (including, but not limited to, historical trends, risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio, and existing economic conditions) in determining the overall appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses. Assessing these factors involves significant judgment. Therefore, management considers the allowance for loan losses a Critical Accounting Policy.

When there is information available to confirm that all or a portion of a specific loan is uncollectible, regulatory guidance and the Company’s loan policy require that the uncollectible amount be promptly charged-off against the allowance for loan losses. When a charge-off is taken on a loan, the negative event(s) or circumstance(s) have generally developed to the point that CIB Marine is able to ascertain with more certainty the uncollectible nature and uncollectible amount of the loan. The timing of a charge-off versus a reserve differs based on definitions provided by accounting and regulatory guidance.

The Company’s estimate of the appropriate allowance for loan losses does not have a targeted reserve to nonperforming loan coverage ratio.

At September 30, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was $15.5 million or 4.26% of total loans compared to $14.6 million, or 3.52% of total loans at December 31, 2010. The increase since year end 2010 is primarily attributable to a $1.9 million increase in the allowance for commercial real estate loans caused by an increase in provisions for deteriorated credit, offset by smaller reductions in the allowance for commercial loans and construction and development loans as a result of reduced balances and reduced Special Mention and Substandard loans in these categories as shown in the accompanying tables and Note 3-Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses in Part I, Item 1 of this report. The allowance for loan losses, excluding any allowance for purchased home equity pools, increased $0.8 million from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011 and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans, excluding the purchased home equity pools, increased to 3.86% from 3.17% over the same period.

The allowance for loan losses for the purchased home equity loan pools was $2.4 million or 10.2% of remaining balances at September 30, 2011, compared to $2.3 million or 8.7% of remaining balances at December 31, 2010. Both charge-offs and recoveries in the purchased home equity loan pool segment have improved from the third quarter of 2010 to the same period of 2011 with gross charge-offs declining $0.9 million from $1.4 million to $0.5 million, and recoveries increasing $2.4 million from $0.2 million to $2.6 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, recorded recoveries through repurchase of specific individual loans in the pools has been $3.7 million or 68% of the related $5.4 million of previously charged-off principal balances for those specific individual loans in the pools. During the first quarter of 2011, CIB Marine pursued new and additional analyses of the previously charged-off purchased home equity pool loans for potential repurchase by the seller as a result of underwriting and documentation deficiencies and related violations of representations and warranties in the agreements between CIB Marine and the seller of the loans. The recoveries recorded in the first nine months of 2011 were primarily the result of such repurchase activity. The Company expects that it may be able to recover additional amounts of previously charged-off purchased home equity pool loans in the future, however, other than $0.8 million actually received during the month of October 2011, there can be no assurance as to what additional recoveries, if any, may be experienced.

The allowance for loan losses comprises two consolidated components, an allowance for loans measured in similar groups of loans and an allowance for loans measured individually for impairment. The allowance for loans measured in similar groups of loans was $10.1 million and $10.8 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, or 3.14% and 2.85% of the respective loan balances. The decrease in amount was attributable to the reduced balances of the loans assessed collectively for impairment due to paydowns, charge-offs and transfers to loans measured individually for impairment. The increase in the allowance percent resulted from a recognition of continued elevated risks in the portfolio. The allowance for individually impaired loans was $5.4 million and $3.9 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, or 13.2% and 10.5% of the respective loan balances. The increase in amount and percent is primarily related to the increase in impaired loans in the commercial real estate segment. The current carrying value of impaired loans at September 30, 2011 is approximately 71% of contractual principal compared to 64% at the end of 2010. At September 30, 2011, the total of the allowance for loan losses for impaired loans plus all prior net charge-offs taken against those impaired loans is $9.1 million, or 24% of contractual principal compared to $18.6 million or 36% at December 31, 2010.

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

Total charge-offs and recoveries for the third quarter of 2011 were $4.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively, compared to $7.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the related quarter of 2010. Net charge-offs for commercial real estate loans increased $0.4 million from $1.6 million to $2.0 million while net charge-offs decreased for purchased home equity loan pools by $3.3 million. In addition, net charge-offs of construction and development and commercial loans also declined $2.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively. In addition to improved net charge-offs period-to-period, the reported amount of CIB Marine’s nonaccrual loans improved by $9.7 million from year end 2010, but continues to be elevated as the economy has not fully recovered and unemployment levels continue to be high relative to historical norms.

CIB Marine believes that the allowance for loan losses is appropriate to absorb probable incurred losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible; however, given the conditions in the real estate markets and economy in general, there can be no assurance that the allowance will prove sufficient to cover actual loan losses in the future. Management recognizes that there are significant estimates in the process and the ultimate losses could be materially different from those currently estimated. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the quality of loans and the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses and may require CIB Marine to make material additional provisions to the allowance based upon their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

At September 30, 2011, commercial loans were distributed to customers located in Illinois (39%), Indiana (27%), Wisconsin (25%) and Arizona (9%). Nonaccrual commercial loans were largely distributed to customers located in Illinois (56%) and Wisconsin (42%). At December 31, 2010, commercial loans were largely distributed to customers located in Illinois (35%), Wisconsin (34%), Indiana (22%) and Arizona (8%). Nonaccrual commercial loans were largely distributed to customers located in Illinois (84%) and Wisconsin (15%).

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

At September 30, 2011, commercial real estate loans were largely distributed to customers with properties located in Illinois (48%), Wisconsin (23%), Arizona (14%) and Indiana (8%). Nonaccrual commercial real estate loans were largely distributed to customers located in Illinois (46%), Florida (28%), Wisconsin (11%), Arizona (9%), and Indiana (6%). At December 31, 2010, commercial real estate loans were largely distributed to customers with properties located in Illinois (48%), Wisconsin (23%), Arizona (15%) and Indiana (7%). Nonaccrual commercial real estate loans were distributed to customers located in Arizona (67%), Illinois (18%), Wisconsin (10%) and Indiana (5%).

At September 30, 2011, commercial real estate loans comprised owner occupied real estate properties ($56.5 million) and non-owner occupied real estate properties ($167.4 million); with non-owner occupied property loan types concentrated in office space ($47.4 million), retail space ($22.4 million), multifamily residential ($22.6 million), nursing homes and assisted living ($12.2 million), and hospitality ($19.3 million). At December 31, 2010, commercial real estate loans comprised owner occupied real estate properties ($64.5 million) and non-owner occupied real estate properties ($176.0 million); with non-owner occupied property loan types concentrated in office space ($51.8 million), retail space ($27.8 million), multifamily residential ($24.5 million), nursing homes and assisted living ($12.6 million), and hospitality ($14.6 million).

At September 30, 2011, construction and development loans were largely distributed to customers with properties located in Wisconsin (36%), Illinois (28%), Indiana (20%), Nevada (11%) and Arizona (1%). Nonaccrual construction and development loans were largely distributed to customers located in Wisconsin (51%), Nevada (25%) and Indiana (18%). At December 31, 2010, construction and development loans were largely distributed to customers with properties located in Illinois (34%), Wisconsin (20%), Indiana (17%), Nevada (11%) and Arizona (16%). Nonaccrual construction and development loans were largely distributed to customers located in Nevada (31%), Illinois (29%), Wisconsin (26%) and Indiana (12%).

At September 30, 2011, construction and development loans primarily comprised loans for properties with vacant land held for future commercial or residential development ($13 million) and non-owner occupied construction loans ($4 million) with the majority of the latter concentrated in condominium and townhome property types ($3 million). At December 31, 2010, construction and development loans primarily comprised loans for properties with vacant land held for future commercial or residential development ($23 million) and non-owner occupied construction loans ($7 million) with the majority of the latter concentrated in condominium and townhome property types ($6 million).

Nonaccrual construction and development loans declined by $4.7 million over the first three quarters of 2011, but increased as a percent of segment balances.

CIB Marine has significantly reduced the construction and development loan portfolio since 2007. At year end 2007, the construction and development portfolio represented approximately 23.5% of total loans outstanding compared to 4.9% of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2011. Most of the decline in balance from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011 was due to transfers to other real estate owned and charge-offs. Given market conditions, the amount of the construction and development loan portfolio is expected to continue to decrease.

At such time that these pools were acquired in 2006 and 2007, the loans were newly originated with current FICO scores and appraised values, and were performing and not past due. Based on CIB Marine’s analysis at time of purchase, there were no identifiable incurred losses for any of the loans and full contractual payment was expected (as evidenced by the premium paid to acquire the loans). As a result it was determined that the acquired loans individually or on a pool basis did not indicate evidence of credit deterioration and as such ASC 310-30 did not apply at the dates of acquisition.

Probable incurred losses for the purchased home equity pools that are reasonably estimable are calculated using loss rates derived from recent experience of delinquent loans charge-offs and loss rates assigned to performing loans. The loan loss reserves are set within a range of the loan loss reserve estimates based on current trending net charge-off rates for the segment and after considering other environmental factors, including housing and labor market conditions.

The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2011 for the purchased home equity pools approximated the December 31, 2010 reserve balance. Delinquency rates continue to run at elevated levels, losses on delinquent loans have recently increased and economic conditions continue to deteriorate with a depressed housing market and a tepid jobs recovery. Delinquency rates for all loans 27 days or more past due to total loans in this segment were 5.7%, 6.8% and 4.9% at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Residential real estate value growth was projected to be weak during the third quarter of 2011 after improving by 3.6% in the second quarter of 2011, which followed declines of 4.1% during the first quarter of 2011 and 3.5% during the fourth quarter of 2010 (as indicated by the Case-Schiller Quarterly Home Price Index for the United States of America). Using the same source, home prices had declined 1.9% during the third quarter of 2010. In addition, although the unemployment rate (as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor) improved to 9.1% for September 2011 compared to 9.4% at December 2010 and 9.6% at September 2010, the rate continues to be elevated.

At September 30, 2011, purchased home equity pools were distributed across the U.S., with the largest concentrations in Texas (15%), California (9%), Georgia (5%), Virginia (5%), Washington (5%), Illinois (5%) and Minnesota (4%). At December 31, 2010, purchased home equity pools were distributed across the U.S., with the largest concentrations in Texas (15%), California (9%), Georgia (5%), Virginia (5%), Washington (5%) and Minnesota (4%).

The purchased home equity pools totaled $23.7 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $27.0 million at December 31, 2010. The reduction in balances during the first nine months of 2011 of $3.3 million resulted from payments of $1.3 million and gross charge-offs of $2.0 million.

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

The level of nonperforming assets is an important element in assessing CIB Marine’s asset quality and the associated risk in its loan portfolio. Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and OREO. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when CIB Marine determines that it is probable that principal and interest amounts will not be collected according to the terms of the loan agreement. A loan is accounted for as TDR when a concession is granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties that would not otherwise be considered. OREO represents properties acquired by CIB Marine as a result of loan defaults by customers.

The following table summarizes the composition of CIB Marine’s nonperforming assets and related asset quality ratios at the dates indicated.

Information that may be used to determine whether a loan is impaired includes, but is not limited to: (1) the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower, (2) declining collateral values, and/or (3) legal action, including bankruptcy that impairs the borrower’s ability to adequately meet its obligations. The triggering events or other facts and circumstances that impact the Company’s decision to charge-off all or a portion of a loan, rather than to record a reserve with respect to the loan, are based on similar events or circumstances based on accounting and regulatory guidance.

Commercial real estate and construction and development loans have been the primary contributors to the elevated levels of nonaccrual loans over the past three years. In addition, these loans and purchased home equity pools are the largest contributors to net charge-offs during the past three years. Real estate and construction-related loans continued to make up the majority of CIB Marine’s nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Elevated vacancy rates and depressed real estate values have contributed significantly to the elevated levels of net charge-offs and the increase in the provision for loan losses that CIB Marine experienced over the past three calendar years and the first nine months of 2011. Although tentative, signs of improvement in the economy could indicate a stabilization in the real estate markets and related collateral values; however, it is still highly uncertain as to when or how much real estate values will improve.

Excluding loans held for sale, nonaccrual loans decreased $9.7 million, from $33.4 million at December 31, 2010 to $23.7 million at September 30, 2011. The net decrease in nonaccrual loans was primarily due to a decrease in nonaccrual loans in the construction and development and commercial loan segments. Nonaccrual commercial real estate loans represented 58% and 47% of total nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans was 6.5% at September 30, 2011 compared to 8.0% at December 31, 2010. Foregone interest on nonaccrual loans reduced interest income by $0.5 million during each of the third quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and $1.4 million and $1.5 million during the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest are loans which are delinquent with respect to the contractual payment terms of principal and/or interest, but for which management believes all contractual principal and interest amounts due will be collected. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIB Marine had no loans that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing.

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual and restructured loans, excluding those held for sale was 44.7 and 37.6% at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual loans, excluding those held for sale and excluding impaired loans whose impairments have been charged-off, was 220% and 152% at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

At September 30, 2011, CIB Marine had seven borrowing relationships (loans to one borrower or a group of related borrowers) with nonaccrual loan balances in excess of $1.0 million that were not classified as held for sale. These relationships accounted for $15.6 million, or 65.9%, of nonaccrual loans excluding those held for sale. At December 31, 2010, CIB Marine had ten borrowing relationships (loans to one borrower or a group of related borrowers) with nonaccrual loan balances in excess of $1.0 million that were not classified as held for sale. These relationships accounted for $25.0 million, or 74.8%, of nonaccrual loans excluding those held for sale. The nonaccrual commercial real estate and construction and development credit relationships in excess of $1.0 million at September 30, 2011 were geographically distributed as follows:

 
· 
$4.4 million in Illinois consisting of one relationship
 
 
· 
$4.0 million in Wisconsin consisting of three relationships
 
 
· 
$3.8 million in Florida consisting of one relationship
 
 
· 
$2.0 million in Nevada consisting of one relationship
 
 
· 
$1.4 million in Indiana consisting of one relationship

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

Troubled Debt Restructuring

Restructured loans involve the granting of some concession to the borrower involving the modification of terms of the loan, such as changes in payment schedule or interest rate, which generally would not otherwise be considered. Restructured loans can involve loans remaining on nonaccrual, moving to nonaccrual, or continuing on accrual status, depending on the individual facts and circumstances of the borrower. Generally, restructured loans remain on nonaccrual until the customer has attained a sustained period of repayment performance under the modified loan terms for a minimum of six months, and there is evidence that such payments can and are likely to continue as agreed. However, performance prior to the restructuring, or significant events that coincide with the restructuring, are considered in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and whether the loan should be returned to or maintained on accrual status. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, the loan remains on nonaccrual. Most often, loans are classified as nonaccrual according to the Company’s nonaccrual policy when restructured as a TDR.

The Company utilizes a multiple note A/B structure as a workout alternative for certain commercial loans. The multiple note structure restructures a troubled loan into two notes (A & B), where Note A is established at a size and with market terms that provide a reasonable assurance of repayment and of performance with the modified terms based on the borrower’s financial conditions and collateral values, and Note B is established at non-market rates and terms that alleviate the debt service requirements for the borrower and is often, but not always, reclassified as loss and fully charged-off (although still outstanding with the borrower). As a result, the likelihood of performance under the Note A portion is improved, averting further collection or foreclosure action. The charged-off Note B may be recoverable if borrower conditions improve and recoveries are received in the future. Note A may improve in classification with the restructure if the borrower had demonstrated repayment performance and continued performance is expected. If these criteria are not met, then Note A and Note B are placed on or maintained on a non-accrual status, and classification is not improved. If Note B is not fully charged-off, then Note A cannot remain on or be restored to accrual status until such time as the financial conditions with the borrower improves, the borrower is able to bring both loans current for at least six months time and the Bank is able to attain reasonable assurance of repayment and of performance with the modified terms of both Note A and Note B. There are situations where multiple note troubled debt restructures are based on new financial information regarding a borrower of an accrual status loan that has been current with their loan payments for an extended period of time of at least six months, and based on documented credit analysis it is expected to continue to meet the terms of Note A after the loan modification. In these situations Note A may remain on accrual status. Note A and B are classified as troubled debt restructurings initially. If Note A was at a market rate, it may be removed from the troubled debt restructure classification during the year following its compliance with the modified terms and, based on the Company’s evaluation, it is determined that there is a reasonable assurance of repayment and of performance according to the modified terms.

During the third quarter and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company had restructured $1.4 million in pre-restructured loan balances using multiple notes. Post-restructuring, $0.4 million of those respective balances remained classified but continued on accrual status due to demonstrated repayment performance and reasonable assurance of continued repayment under the modified terms. The remaining $1.0 million of those balances were charged-off. As shown above, for 2011, the Company’s use of the multiple note structure has not been significant, but use of this structure could increase in future periods. During the 2010, the Company restructured $2.6 million in pre-restructured loan balances using multiple notes. Post-restructuring, $1.2 million was classified with the full amount on nonaccrual status (since the restructuring did not result in Note B being fully charged-off) and $1.4 million was charged-off.

Potential Problem Loans

“Potential Problem Loans” are those commercial real estate and construction and development loans classified as substandard-accrual by management and cover a diverse range of businesses and real estate property types. The level of commercial, Potential Problem Loans is another factor in determining the level of risk in the portfolio and in determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses. At September 30, 2011, Potential Problem Loans totaled $18.2 million compared to $16.2 million at December 31, 2010. The composition at September 30, 2011 included $17.0 million, $0.3 million and $0.9 million in commercial real estate, construction and development and commercial respectively, compared to $12.8 million, $3.2 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2010, respectively. Management continues to have heightened levels of concern for the potential pace, magnitude and duration at which commercial purpose loans and related collateral may deteriorate.

Other Real Estate Owned

OREO, which represents foreclosed properties, was $7.3 million and consisted of nine properties at September 30, 2011 compared to $5.3 million and thirteen properties at December 31, 2010. During the first nine months of 2011, CIB Marine transferred five properties totaling $3.9 million from its loan portfolio to OREO and sold nine properties. During the first nine months of 2011, CIB Marine recorded a $0.6 million write down on four properties and a $0.2 million net loss on sale of nine properties located in Arizona and Nevada. At September 30, 2011, OREO was geographically distributed as follows:
 
 
· 
$1.8 million of undeveloped land in Nevada
 
· 
$1.3 million of a residential property in Wisconsin
 
· 
$0.2 million of undeveloped land in Florida
 
· 
$0.2 million of condominiums in Arizona
 
· 
$3.8 million of improved commercial land in Illinois

Company Held For Disposal

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, assets and liabilities of a company held for disposal consist entirely of the remaining assets and liabilities of CIB Marine’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CIB Construction, including CIB Construction’s subsidiary, Canron. In August 2005, Canron authorized and began liquidation distributions to its shareholders and in December 2006, Canron filed Articles of Dissolution.
 
During the second quarter of 2011, Canron distributed payment of $0.4 million to the Company and it is reported as pretax income from discontinued operations on the income statement. Final distributions are expected during 2011. At both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIB Construction’s net carrying value of its investment in Canron was zero.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The FHLBC announced on October 3, 2011, that its capital conversion plan had been approved by its regulatory, the FHFA. Under the capital stock conversion plan there CIB Marine’s capital stock holdings in the FHLBC will be exchanged for two classes of stock, redeemable in five years. Under the approved capital conversion plan the FHLBC can repurchase a portion of its excess stock, subject to certain other conditions and approvals, and according to the FHLBC announcement it intends to submit a plan to the FHFA in December of 2011 to begin doing so within six months following the conversion. CIB Marine currently owns $11.6 million carrying value in FHLBC stock and the stock is carried at par. The asset based minimum holding requirement at September 30, 2011, was $1.3 million.

Deposit Liabilities

Total deposits were $433.0 million at September 30, 2011 and $493.5 million at December 31, 2010. Time deposits represent the largest component of deposits. The percentage of time deposits to total deposits was 45.0% at September 30, 2011 and 52.9% at December 31, 2010, reflecting CIB Marine’s continued, albeit reduced, reliance on time deposits as a primary source of funding.

The aggregate amount of time deposits of $100,000 or more at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $55.8 million, or approximately 28.6% of time deposits and $75.4 million or 28.9% of total time deposits, respectively. There were no brokered time deposits at September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

Borrowings

CIB Marine uses various types of borrowings to meet liquidity needs, fund asset growth and/or when the pricing of these borrowings is more favorable than deposits. Total borrowed funds decreased $8.0 million from $22.8 million at December 31, 2010, to $14.8 million at September 30, 2011. The decrease was attributable to a reduction of short-term borrowings.

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

Liquidity

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

CIB Marine’s most readily available source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents, which increased from $27.3 million at December 31, 2010, to $41.5 million at September 30, 2011. This increase was part of CIB Marine’s capital plan to continue to deleverage the balance sheet and shrink total assets thereby improving the capital ratios of CIBM Bank.

Another source of liquidity available to the Bank, either as a liquid asset or as collateral to be pledged for borrowings, is its investment portfolio. Investment securities available for sale totaled $95.7 million and $126.9 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2011, $19.9 million pledged liabilities and contingent liabilities were outstanding which included $5.0 million to the FHLBC, $9.6 million to repurchase agreement customers and $5.3 million combined to public deposit customers, treasury tax and loan notes, and guarantees of letters of credit issued for the Bank customers by a correspondent bank. Required pledged securities totaled $19.5 million in fair market value to collateralize these current outstanding liabilities and contingent liabilities. Pledged securities of $36.0 million at September 30, 2011 are in excess of pledging requirements and are generally available for pledge release and in many cases provide borrowing availability used by the Bank for managing its liquidity. At December 31, 2010, $27.5 million pledged liabilities and contingent liabilities were outstanding requiring pledged securities with a market value of $25.4 million. In addition, the Bank pledged $12.4 million in commercial real estate loans to provide at least $7.1 million of potential borrowing availability at the federal reserve discount window.

Deposits originating from within CIB Marine’s markets are the Bank’s primary source of funding. Total deposits less brokered and pledged deposits, were $429.3 million and $490.2 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

At September 30, 2011, the CIB Marine parent company had $2.3 million in total cash and cash equivalents. In addition, a subsidiary of the parent company had $3.9 million in cash and due from banks, $4.0 million in loans held for sale, $0.8 million in net loans and $0.3 million in OREO at September 30, 2011. According to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, “a bank holding company shall serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and shall not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner.” Pursuant to this mandate, CIB Marine has continued to monitor the capital strength and liquidity of the Bank. During 2010, CIB Marine provided $5.3 million in capital to CIBM Bank to support the Bank’s capital position. No capital injections have been made by CIB Marine to the Bank during the first nine months of 2011.

Capital

CIB Marine’s stockholders’ equity was $66.6 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $68.8 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease during the first nine months of 2011 was primarily the result of a net loss of $3.5 million. Additionally, during the first nine months of 2011, stockholders’ equity was positively impacted by a $1.3 million reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

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

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, CIB Marine was subject to a Written Agreement it entered into with the Federal Reserve Bank. Among other things, the Written Agreement requires CIB Marine to maintain a sufficient capital position for the consolidated organization including the current and future capital requirements of its subsidiary bank, nonbank subsidiaries and the consolidated organization. The Written Agreement will remain in effect until it is stayed, modified, terminated, or suspended by the Federal Reserve Bank. At September 30, 2011, the Tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.93%, which was above the minimum requirement specified in the Written Agreement. Depending on the overall size of its balance sheet and respective risk weightings for those assets, as well as the extent of continuing losses incurred by CIB Marine in future periods, including those resulting from security and loan related credit losses, write downs in loans held for sale or OREO, or non-credit-related OTTI from securities, CIB Marine’s capital ratios could decline in the future.

The Bank is under a Consent Order that includes a requirement to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10% and a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 12%. At September 30, 2011, CIBM Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio to total assets at the end of the period was 10.91% and its total capital to risk-weighted asset ratio was 14.48%.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

CIB Marine is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. CIB Marine has entered into commitments to extend credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheets.

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

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

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

Recent Regulatory Developments

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

Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

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

In May 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance regarding fair value measurement that will become effective for annual periods beginning with 2012 financial reporting. The new guidance changes the measurement principles for certain financial instruments and also requires new disclosures about unobservable inputs in Level 3 measures, qualitative information about the sensitivity of Level 3 measures and valuation process, and classification of items within the fair value hierarchy for certain financial instruments. CIB Marine is evaluating the impact that the new guidance may have on its financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance concerning the presentation of other comprehensive income in companies’ financial statements. The statement of equity is no longer an option for presenting other comprehensive income. Beginning with 2012 financial reporting, the new guidance allows companies two choices for presenting net income and other comprehensive income: in a continuous statement, or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. Therefore, the new guidance may affect the presentation of the financial statements of many companies. CIB Marine is evaluating the two options for presentation, disclosure and possible early adoption of the guidance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Since December 31, 2010, CIB Marine’s market risk profile has not changed significantly and net interest income over the next year would be more favorable for the up 200 rate scenario versus up 100 or down 100 or 200.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

CIB Marine’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of CIB Marine’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2011. The Company's disclosure controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide a reasonable assurance of achieving the controls' stated goals. Based on their evaluation, CIB Marine’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in CIB Marine's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, CIB Marine's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

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