What is known as the TFR Report, which is the consolidated reports of Condition and Income FFIEC 041 are most revealing. They are the information before the final report. The Heritage Bank of Florida September 30 shows the high 1-4 family loan losses are more in “junior liens” than “1st” ($606,000 to $1.0) as well as the nonfarm/nonresidential loan losses are more in non-owner occupied properties ($172,000 to $756,000), as well as most individual loans are automobile losses followed by credit cards (here it is all automobile loans)

It is obvious that residential mortgages took this bank down with the highest write-offs, more than construction/land, as well as commercial/industrial and nonfarm nonresidential (basically again real estate rentals) were significant to bring a bank from a $24.6 million equity in 2009 to $1.2million the end of this September.

As significant the Non-Current Loans were very high, resulting in further loss in profit.

Mr. Thomas D. Ogaard
Chief Executive Officer

“The year 2000 marked the most profitable year in the history of the bank. Assets reached $515,180,000 and a record net income of $8,186,000 was achieved. Total deposits increased in 2001 by $56.4 million. Thomas R. Lasier retired from the board in 2001. Craig O. Wesner was appointed chairman of the board.

“In 2003, Princeton National Bancorp purchased land in Elburn and Aurora. Construction began on the Aurora facility in 2005.

Total deposits reached a record high of $537,800,000 in 2003, as did loans with a record high of $383,100,000.

“In 2005, the company acquired Somonauk FSB Bancorp, which caused the Citizens banking family to grow in the towns of Somonauk, Sandwich, Millbrook, Newark and Plano. Assets at the end of 2005 were nearing a billion dollars. On Oct. 11, 2006, the total assets of Princeton National Bancorp surpassed that $1 billion mark.

In 2007, the bank grew again with a location in Plainfield.

Tony J. Sorcic retired from Princeton National Bancorp and Citizens First National Bank on Feb. 1, 2010. Thomas D. Ogaard was appointed president/CEO on Feb. 2, 2010.

“In the late 2000s, the bank’s loan portfolio began suffering major losses, which stressed the bank’s capital to critical levels. The loan losses were deep enough to create a severe shortage of capital and resulted in regulatory intervention. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency filed a formal agreement with the company, demanding it raise its capital to comply with regulatory guidelines.

“According to the 8-K filing, Princeton National Bancorp, Inc. reported its tangible equity to total assets ratio at the end of its second quarter (ending June 30, 2012) was 1.92 percent. Because of that percentage, the bank became “critically undercapitalized” within the meaning of the bank’s ongoing Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations of the OCC. At that time, the company was given 90 days to turn its situation around by raising additional capital or merging with another financial institution.

(Todd D. Fanning, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director, resigned effective June 15, 2012).

“In June 20, 2012, Princeton National Bancorp was delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market for not meeting the requirements of the exchange. On June 29, 2012, the stock began trading on the OTCQB Marketplace.

“Late in the afternoon on Nov. 2, 2012, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency closed Citizens First National Bank and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver.”
