The Company enters into deposit sweep transactions where the transaction amounts are secured by pledged securities. These transactions consistently mature within 1 to 90 days from the transaction date and are governed by sweep repurchase agreements. All sweep repurchase agreements are treated as financings secured by U.S. government agencies and collateralized mortgage-backed securities and had a carrying amount of $38.1 million at June 30, 2014, and $22.6 million at December 31, 2013. The fair value of the pledged collateral was $44.1 million and $39.2 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. At June 30, 2014, there was one customer with secured balances exceeding 10% of stockholders’ equity.

The Company’s borrowings at the FHLBC require the Bank to be a member and invest in the stock of the FHLBC and total borrowings are generally limited to the lower of 35% of total assets or 60% of the book value of certain mortgage loans and the fair value of investment securities. As of June 30, 2014, there were no advances. The Bank has FHLBC stock valued at $5.5 million, collateralized securities with a fair value of $82.6 million and loans with a principal balance of $54.1 million, which carry a combined collateral value of $115.8 million. The Company has excess collateral of $114.5 million available to secure borrowings.

One of the Company’s most significant borrowing relationships continued to be the $45.5 million credit facility with a correspondent bank. That credit began in January 2008 and was originally composed of a $30.5 million senior debt facility, which included $500,000 in term debt, and $45.0 million of subordinated debt. The subordinated debt and the term debt portion of the senior debt facility mature on March 31, 2018. The interest rate on the senior debt facility resets quarterly and at the Company’s option, is based on, either the lender’s prime rate or three-month LIBOR plus 90 basis points. The interest rate on the subordinated debt resets quarterly, and is equal to three-month LIBOR plus 150 basis points. The Company had no principal outstanding balance on the senior line of credit when it matured. The Company terminated the senior line of credit. The Company had $500,000 in principal outstanding in term debt and $45.0 million in principal outstanding in subordinated debt at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013. The term debt is secured by all of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank. Pursuant to the Written Agreement (the “Written Agreement”) the Company entered into with the Reserve Bank, the Company was required to receive the Reserve Bank’s approval prior to making any interest payments on the subordinated debt. In January 2014, the Reserve Bank notified the Company that the Written Agreement was terminated.

The agreement governing the credit facility contains usual and customary provisions regarding acceleration of the senior debt upon the occurrence of an event of default by the Company. The term debt agreement also contains certain customary representations and warranties and financial and negative covenants. At June 30, 2014, the Company was out of compliance with one of the financial covenants contained within the credit agreement. Prior to 2013, the Company had been out of compliance with two of the financial covenants. The agreement provides that noncompliance is an event of default and as the result of the Company’s failure to comply with a financial covenant, the lender may (i) terminate all commitments to extend further credit, (ii) increase the interest rate on the revolving line of the term debt by 200 basis points, (iii) declare the senior debt immediately due and payable and (iv) exercise all of its rights and remedies at law, in equity and/or pursuant to any or all collateral documents, including foreclosing on the collateral. The total outstanding principal amount of the senior debt is the $500,000 in term debt, and because the subordinated debt is treated as Tier 2 capital, the agreement does not provide the lender with any additional rights of acceleration or other remedies upon an event of default caused by the Company’s failure to comply with a financial covenant.
