CENTRAL FEDERAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES IMPROVED RESULTS
FOR THE
QUARTER AND YEAR TO DATE PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
Fairlawn, Ohio — November 12, 2010 — Central Federal Corporation (Nasdaq: CFBK) announced a net loss of $232,000, or $0.08 per diluted common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to a net loss of $6.7 million, or $1.66 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the net loss totaled $5.9 million, or $1.51 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $7.7 million, or $1.95 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
The $6.5 million decrease in the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was due to a $4.2 million decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $2.3 million decrease in income tax expense. Our ongoing assessment of CFBank’s commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family residential loan portfolios resulted in a provision for loan losses totaling $617,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to a $3.5 million decrease in net charge-offs. The provision for loan losses in the quarter ended September 30, 2009 totaled $4.8 million and included a $3.5 million charge-off related to the deterioration in financial condition of a significant commercial loan customer. In the quarter ended September 30, 2009, income tax expense resulted from a $3.8 million valuation allowance to reduce the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset to zero at September 30, 2009. Net loan charge-offs, which totaled $4.1 million and $5.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, reduced the Company’s near term estimates of future taxable income and the amount of the deferred tax asset, primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards, considered realizable. The reduced estimates of future taxable income resulted in the valuation allowance during the prior year quarter. The Company did not incur a similar charge in the three months ended September 30, 2010.
The $1.8 million decrease in the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease in income tax expense. The prior year period included the charge for the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset, discussed above.
CFBank remained well-capitalized as of September 30, 2010, and total risk-based capital increased from 10.01% at June 30, 2010 to 10.53% at September 30, 2010.
Eloise L. Mackus, Interim CEO commented, “We are pleased to report improved results for CFBank, with increased liquidity, lowered risk and reduced net loss from last quarter and the same quarter last year. We are diligently working to improve our asset quality, and we are pleased that our level of nonperforming assets to total assets is down from the June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 levels. Successful relationships with our commercial clients and a high level of service for all clients continue to be the focus for CFBank. Thanks to the hard work of persons in all areas of CFBank, we made significant progress during the third quarter.”
Mackus added, “CFBank was recently ranked in the top among all Northeast Ohio Small Business Administration lenders and the leading SBA lender based in Summit County. The strength of our communities depends on the strength of local businesses and we are proud that CFBank is a contributor to the health of our region.”

Jerry F. Whitmer, Chairman of the Board, added, “Despite a punishing economic environment, the Bank has taken important steps to restore its financial strength and increase value for Central Federal Corporation’s stockholders. We thank our stockholders for their patience and support. While more work remains, we are confident that we have quality human resources in place to accomplish our goals, both to continue improving asset quality and to increase value for Central Federal Corporation’s stockholders.”
Net interest income
Net interest income totaled $2.1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The average interest rate spread increased 18 basis points (bp) to 3.02% in the third quarter of 2010, compared to 2.84% in the third quarter of 2009. The average cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 74 bp and the average yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 56 bp in the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The average cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased due to the sustained low market interest rate environment. The average yield on average interest-earning assets decreased due to a decrease in average loan balances and an increase in average securities and other earning asset balances, which provide lower yields than loans. The margin totaled 3.12% in the third quarter of 2010, and was unchanged from the third quarter of 2009 despite the increase in the average interest rate spread. The margin was unchanged due to a $10.6 million decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a $7.2 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing assets in the current year quarter was primarily due to a decrease in average loan balances, partially offset by an increase in securities and other earning assets. The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities in the current year quarter was primarily due to an increase in average deposit balances, partially offset by a decrease in average borrowing balances.
Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $6.5 million and increased $201,000, or 3.2%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in net interest income was due to a higher net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the prior year period. Net interest margin increased 18 bp to 3.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 3.07% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The margin improved during the current year period due to a larger decline in funding costs than in asset yields. The average interest rate spread increased 34 bp to 3.09% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 2.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The average cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 82 bp and the average yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 48 bp for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Both the average cost of average interest-bearing liabilities and the average yield on average interest-earning assets decreased due to the sustained low market interest rate environment. The average yield on average interest-earning assets also decreased due to a decline in average loan balances and an increase in average securities and other earning asset balances, which provide lower yields than loans. An increase in noninterest bearing deposits, which totaled $20.3 million at September 30, 2010, and increased 18.9% from $17.1 million at December 31, 2009, had a positive impact on our net interest margin.

Interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 totaled $3.1 million and decreased $495,000, or 13.9%, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in interest income was due to a decrease in both the average yield and average balance of interest-earning assets. The average yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 4.64% in the third quarter of 2010, compared to 5.20% in the third quarter of 2009. The average yield on average interest-earning assets decreased due to a decrease in average loan balances and an increase in average securities and other earning asset balances, which provide lower yields than loans. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $10.6 million during the third quarter of 2010, compared to the prior year quarter. Average loan balances decreased $27.3 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to the third quarter of 2009, as a result of the sale of $10.1 million of portfolio loans, write-offs and repayments in excess of current production. Average other earning asset balances, which are overnight cash investments, increased $14.4 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to the third quarter of 2009, as a result of management’s decision to strengthen on-balance-sheet liquidity, while average securities balances increased by $2.5 million due to purchases during the period exceeding sales, scheduled maturities and repayments.
Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $9.7 million and decreased $1.2 million, or 11.1%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in interest income was due to a decrease in both the average yield and average balance of interest-earning assets. The average yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 4.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 5.35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in average yield on average interest-earning assets was due to a decline in average loan balances and an increase in other earning asset balances, which provide lower yields than loans, as well as a decrease in the average yield on securities. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $6.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the prior year period. Average loan balances decreased $17.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the prior year period, as a result of the sale of $10.1 million of portfolio loans, write-offs and repayments in excess of current production. Average other earning asset balances, which are overnight cash investments, increased $10.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the prior year period, as a result of management’s decision to strengthen on-balance-sheet liquidity.
Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 totaled $1.0 million and decreased $419,000, or 29.5%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in the average cost of average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.62% in the third quarter of 2010, compared to 2.36% in the third quarter of 2009. The decrease in cost of average interest-bearing liabilities was due to a decline in both deposit and borrowing costs as a result of the sustained low market interest rate environment. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $7.2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to the prior year quarter. Average deposit balances increased $16.2 million primarily due to growth in certificates of deposit, money market, saving and interest-bearing checking account balances. Average borrowing balances decreased $9.0 million due to repayment of maturing short- and long-term Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $3.2 million and decreased $1.4 million, or 30.4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in the average cost of average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.78% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 2.60% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was due to a decline in both deposit and borrowing costs as a result of the sustained low market interest rate environment. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $4.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the prior year period. Average deposit balances increased $12.4 million primarily due to growth in money market and checking account balances. Average borrowing balances decreased $8.4 million due to repayment of maturing short- and long-term FHLB advances.

Noninterest income
Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 totaled $587,000 and increased $274,000, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to $228,000 in gains on sales of securities and a $74,000 increase in gains on sales of loans, partially offset by a $16,000 decline in service charges on deposit accounts, substantially due to a decline in non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees, and a $12,000 decline in other income.
Noninterest income totaled $1.4 million, and increased $490,000, or 54.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $900,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to $468,000 in gains on sales of securities during the current year period. The sales proceeds were reinvested in securities with a 0% total risk-based capital requirement. The gains on sales positively impacted CFBank’s core capital ratio, and reinvestment in 0% risk-weighted assets had a positive impact on CFBank’s total risk-based capital ratio. The increase in noninterest income due to gains on sales of securities was partially offset by a $33,000 decline in service charges on deposit accounts due to a decline in NSF fees and deposit account related processing fees, and a $19,000 decline in other income.
The largest recurring component of noninterest income is net gains on sales of loans. Net gains on sales of loans totaled $244,000 for the third quarter of 2010, and increased $74,000, or 43.5% compared to $170,000 for the third quarter of 2009. Net gains on sales of loans totaled $575,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and increased $74,000, or 14.8% compared to $501,000 in the period year period. CFBank’s mortgage professionals continue to gain market share by building relationships with local realtors and individual borrowers.
Provision for loan losses
A provision for loan losses is provided based on management’s estimate of probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio and the resultant allowance for loan losses (ALLL) required. Based on a review of the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2010, the provision for loan losses totaled $617,000 for the third quarter of 2010, and $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This compares to a provision of $4.8 million and $6.7 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to a $3.5 million decrease in net charge-offs. The provision for loan losses in the quarter ended September 30, 2009 totaled $4.8 million and included a $3.5 million charge-off related to the deterioration in financial condition of a significant commercial loan customer. The level of the provision for loan losses during the current and prior year periods was primarily a result of adverse economic conditions that negatively impacted our borrowers, our loan performance and our loan quality.
The provision for loan losses decreased $5.3 million and totaled $617,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $5.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was due to a decrease in net charge-offs during the September 30, 2010 quarter. Net charge-offs decreased $2.6 million and totaled $634,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans totaled 94.2% at September 30, 2010 compared to 94.1% at June 30, 2010.
Nonperforming loans, which are nonaccrual loans and loans at least 90 days past due but still accruing interest, decreased $2.5 million, or 19.3%, and totaled $10.7 million at September 30, 2010, compared to $13.2 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease in nonperforming loans was primarily due to $4.5 million in loan charge-offs, a $2.3 million commercial real estate property transferred to foreclosed assets, and, to a lesser extent, loan payments and proceeds from the sale of the underlying collateral of various loans, partially offset by $5.8 million in additional loans that became nonperforming during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Nonperforming loans totaled 5.02% of total loans at September 30, 2010, compared to 5.56% of total loans at December 31, 2009.

Individually impaired loans totaled $11.3 million at September 30, 2010, and decreased $2.4 million, or 17.7%, from $13.7 million at December 31, 2009. The amount of the ALLL specifically allocated to individually impaired loans totaled $3.0 million at September 30, 2010, compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 2009. Impaired loans totaling $845,000 at September 30, 2010 are not included in nonperforming loans as they are troubled debt restructurings where the borrowers have established a sustained period of repayment performance, the loans are current according to their modified terms, and repayment of the remaining contractual payments is expected.
Net charge-offs totaled $634,000, or 1.18% of average loans on an annualized basis for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $4.1 million, or 6.91% of average loans on an annualized basis for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Net charge-offs totaled $4.3 million, or 2.58% of average loans on an annualized basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $5.1 million, or 2.87% of average loans on an annualized basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The net charge-offs in both the current and prior year periods were primarily related to commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family loans and, to a lesser extent, home equity lines of credit.
The ratio of the ALLL to total loans totaled 4.73% at September 30, 2010, compared to 2.98% at December 31, 2009.
Noninterest expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 totaled $2.2 million and increased $161,000, or 7.8%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The ratio of noninterest expense to average assets increased to 3.09% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to 2.85% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The efficiency ratio increased to 91.51% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to 84.21% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase in both of these ratios was due to the increase in noninterest expense.
The increase in noninterest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in professional fees and FDIC premiums. Professional fees increased $153,000, and totaled $305,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $152,000 in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily related to increased legal costs associated with nonperforming loans compared to the prior year quarter. FDIC premiums increased $59,000 and totaled $170,000 for the three months ended September 30 2010, compared $111,000 in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily related to a higher assessment rate in the current year quarter as well as an increase in deposit balances compared to the prior year quarter.
Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 totaled $6.4 million. The ratio of noninterest expense to average assets increased to 2.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 2.96% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to a decrease in average assets for the current year period. The efficiency ratio improved to 86.56% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 89.62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to the increase in net interest income in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 noninterest expense included increases in professional fees and advertising and promotion, offset by a decrease in occupancy and equipment expenses. Professional fees increased $189,000, or 31.8%, and totaled $783,000 for the nine months ended September 30 2010, compared to $594,000 in the prior year period. The increase was primarily related to legal costs associated with nonperforming loans. Advertising and promotion increased $59,000, and totaled $85,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $26,000 in the prior year period. The increase was due to costs associated with enhancement of marketing and presentation materials related to CFBank’s products and services. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $252,000, or 61.2%, and totaled $160,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $412,000 for the prior year period. The decrease was due to the elimination, in consolidation, of rent expense for the Company’s Fairlawn office as a result of the October 2009 acquisition of Smith Ghent LLC, which owns the Fairlawn office building.
Income taxes
Income tax expense totaled $38,000 and $8,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. This compares to an income tax expense of $2.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for the same prior year periods. The tax expense during the current year periods is related to the tax impact of securities transactions, offset by the valuation allowance on the tax effect associated with current period vesting of stock compensation awards that were granted in years prior to 2009. The tax expense during the prior year periods is a result of the $3.8 million valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset, discussed previously.
Balance sheet activity
Assets totaled $286.9 million at September 30, 2010 and increased $13.2 million, or 4.8%, from $273.7 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was due to a $31.0 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, an $8.3 million increase in securities available for sale, and a $2.3 million increase in foreclosed assets, partially offset by a $28.4 million decrease in net loan balances.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $34.0 million at September 30, 2010 and increased $31.0 million from $3.0 million at December 31, 2009. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was a result of building on-balance-sheet liquidity. The increase in liquidity was accomplished primarily through the issuance of brokered deposits, which also served to lock-in the cost of longer-term liabilities at low current market interest rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, $34.5 million in brokered deposits were issued with an average life of 36 months at an average cost of 1.83%. Liquidity was also increased through proceeds from the sales of a $4.3 million auto loan portfolio and $5.8 million in commercial real estate and multi-family loans.
Securities available for sale totaled $29.5 million at September 30, 2010, and increased $8.3 million, or 38.9%, compared to $21.2 million at December 31, 2009 due to purchases during the current year period exceeding sales, scheduled maturities and repayments. A portion of the proceeds from the issuance of brokered deposits and sales of loans used to increase on-balance-sheet liquidity were invested in securities available for sale, which offered higher yields than overnight cash investments.
Net loans totaled $202.7 million at September 30, 2010 and decreased $28.4 million, or 12.3%, from $231.1 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower commercial real estate and consumer loan balances and, to a lesser extent, lower multi-family and single-family residential mortgage balances, as well as a $3.0 million increase in the ALLL. Commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family loans, including the related construction loans, decreased $15.6 million, or 8.6%, and totaled $166.1 million at September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily in commercial real estate loan balances, including the related construction loans, which decreased $13.3 million due to the sale of $4.1 million in loans, the transfer of $2.3 million to foreclosed assets, $2.8 million in net charge-offs, and principal repayments and payoffs in excess of current year originations. Multi-family loans declined by $2.3 million primarily related to the sale of $1.7 million in loans. Consumer loans totaled $18.7 million at September 30, 2010 and decreased $7.4 million, or 28.3%, due to the sale of a $4.3 million auto loan portfolio and repayments of auto loans and home equity lines of credit. Single-family residential mortgage loans, including the related construction loans, totaled $28.0 million at September 30, 2010 and decreased $2.5 million, or 8.2%, from $30.5 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease in mortgage loans was due to current period principal repayments in excess of loans originated for portfolio.

Foreclosed assets totaled $2.3 million at September 30, 2010. There were no foreclosed assets at December 31, 2009. Foreclosed assets consist of approximately 42 acres of undeveloped land located in Columbus, Ohio that had been previously financed for development purposes. This property was acquired by the Bank through foreclosure due to the adverse economic conditions impacting the borrower’s capacity to meet the contractual terms of the loan. There were no other assets acquired by the Bank through foreclosure during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Deposits totaled $237.7 million at September 30, 2010 and increased $26.6 million, or 12.6%, from $211.1 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to a $23.4 million increase in certificate of deposit accounts and a $3.2 million increase in noninterest bearing checking accounts.
CFBank is a participant in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service® (CDARS) program, a network of banks that allows us to provide our customers with FDIC insurance coverage on certificate of deposit balances up to $50 million. Customer balances in the CDARS program decreased $6.4 million from December 31, 2009 and totaled $30.7 million at September 30, 2010. The decrease in CDARS balances was due to customers seeking higher short-term yields than were available based on CFBank’s asset/liability management strategies. CDARS balances are considered brokered deposits for regulatory purposes. Not considering CDARS deposits, brokered deposits totaled $42.0 million at September 30, 2010 and increased $25.7 million from the end of 2009. The increase in brokered deposits was based on CFBank’s asset/liability management strategies to build on-balance-sheet liquidity and lock-in the cost of longer-term liabilities at low current market interest rates.
Certificate of deposit accounts increased $23.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to a $25.7 million increase in brokered deposits and a $4.1 million increase in retail certificate of deposit accounts, partially offset by a $6.4 million decrease in CDARS deposits. Retail certificate of deposit accounts increased primarily due to competitive pricing strategies related to maturities of two years and longer.
Noninterest bearing checking account balances increased $3.2 million, or 18.9%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of our continued success in building complete banking relationships with commercial clients.
Long-term FHLB advances totaled $23.9 million at September 30, 2010 and decreased $6.0 million, or 20.0%, from $29.9 million at December 31, 2009 due to repayment of maturing advances in accordance with the Company’s liquidity management program.
Stockholders’ equity totaled $16.6 million at September 30, 2010 and decreased $6.7 million from December 31, 2009. The decrease was due to the $5.9 million net loss, $271,000 in preferred stock dividends related to the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program, and a $490,000 decrease in unrealized gains in the securities portfolio.
