Item 2.06 Material Impairments
On September 10, 2009, the Company became aware of the deterioration in financial condition of a significant loan customer. On September 15, 2009, after a preliminary evaluation of the loan’s collateral, management determined that a pre-tax charge of approximately $3.5 million will be incurred during the quarter ending September 30, 2009 to reflect the write off of the loan balance.
The $3.5 million pre-tax charge reduces management’s near term estimates of future taxable income and reduces the amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable. Deferred tax assets totaled $2.1 million at June 30, 2009, and the loan write off will result in an increase of approximately $1.2 million in the deferred tax asset at September 30, 2009. The Company expects to record a valuation allowance for the total amount of the deferred tax asset at September 30, 2009.
Management expects that CFBank will remain well-capitalized for regulatory purposes at September 30, 2009, notwithstanding the charge and valuation allowance.
