PART I
Item 1. Business
Princeton National Bancorp, Inc. (“PNBC”, the “Corporation”, or the “Company”) is a single-bank holding company which operates in one business segment conducting a full-service commercial banking, trust and investment brokerage business through its subsidiary bank, Citizens First National Bank (“Citizens Bank”, “the Bank”, or the “subsidiary bank”). PNBC was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1981 in contemplation of the acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of Citizens Bank and other future acquisitions. At December 31, 2007, the Corporation had consolidated total assets of $1,080,702,000 and stockholders’ equity of $68,607,000.
PNBC operates the Bank as a community bank with offices located for convenience and with professional, highly-motivated, progressive employees who know the Bank’s customers and provide individualized, quality service. As part of its community banking approach, officers of the Bank actively participate in community organizations. In addition, within certain credit and rate of return parameters, the subsidiary bank strives to meet the lending needs of the communities in which offices are located and invests in local municipal securities.
Corporate policy, strategy and goals are established by the Board of Directors of PNBC. Pursuant to PNBC’s holding company philosophy, operational and administrative policies for the Bank are also established at the holding company level. Within this framework, the Bank focuses on providing personalized services and quality products to its customers to meet the needs of the communities in which its offices are located. In 2007, the majority of the directors of PNBC also served as the directors of Citizens Bank, which further assists PNBC to directly implement its policies at Citizens Bank.
Acquisition and Expansion Strategy
PNBC seeks to diversify both its market area and asset base and increase profitability through acquisitions and expansion. PNBC’s goal, as reflected by its acquisition policy, is to expand through the acquisition of established financial service organizations (primarily commercial banks to the extent suitable candidates may be identified) and by expanding into potential high-growth areas. In integrating acquisitions, PNBC focuses on, among other actions, implementing the policies established at Citizens Bank, improving asset quality, the net interest margin, and encouraging community involvement. In 2007, PNBC acquired the Plainfield office of HomeStar Bank and in 2005, PNBC acquired Somonauk FSB Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary, Farmers State Bank, with branches in Somonauk, Millbrook, Newark and Sandwich (subsequently merged into Citizens Bank).
PNBC will also consider establishing branch facilities as a means of expanding its presence into new market areas. PNBC opened new branch facilities in the Peru/LaSalle/Oglesby area in 1994, in Minooka in 1994, Hampshire in 1995, Henry in 1999, Huntley in 2001, Plano in 2005 and Aurora in 2006. Several of these locations, along with the Plainfield office, are located in rapidly growing communities that will provide significant loan and deposit growth opportunities, as well as increased revenue potential.
Citizens First National Bank
Citizens Bank was organized in 1865 as a national banking association under the National Bank Act. Currently in its one hundred and forty-third year, Citizens Bank has twenty-one offices in seventeen different communities in north central Illinois: Aurora, DePue, Genoa, Hampshire, Henry, Huntley, Millbrook, Minooka, Newark, Oglesby, Peru, Plainfield, Plano, Princeton, Sandwich, Somonauk, and Spring Valley.
Citizens Bank serves individuals, businesses and governmental bodies in Bureau, DeKalb, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, LaSalle, Marshall, McHenry, Will and contiguous counties. Citizens Bank operates a full-service community commercial bank and trust business that offers a broad range of financial services to customers. Citizens Bank’s services consist primarily of commercial, real estate and agricultural lending, consumer deposit and financial services, and trust, brokerage, insurance, and farm management services.
Commercial, Real Estate, and Agricultural Lending
Citizens Bank’s commercial loan department provides secured and to a much lesser extent unsecured loans, including real estate loans, to companies and individuals for business purposes and to governmental units within the Bank’s market area. As of December 31, 2007, Citizens Bank had commercial loans of $168.9 million (23.4% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio) and commercial real estate loans of $160.1 million (22.2% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio). Citizens Bank does not have a concentration of commercial loans in any single industry or business, except for loans to the agricultural industry as more fully disclosed below.
Agricultural and agricultural real estate loans are primarily related to ventures near our branch locations. As of December 31, 2007, Citizens Bank had agricultural loans of $85.6 million and agricultural real estate loans of $61.2 million, which represent approximately 11.8% and 8.5%, respectively, of the Bank’s total loan portfolio.
Agricultural loans, many of which are secured by crops, machinery, and real estate, are provided to finance capital improvements and farm operations as well as acquisitions of livestock and machinery. The subsidiary bank’s agricultural loan department has the equivalent of five lending officers and works closely with all agricultural customers, including companies and individual farmers, assisting in the preparation of budgets and cash flow projections for the ensuing crop year. These budgets and cash flow projections are monitored closely by the Bank during the year. In addition, Citizens Bank works closely with governmental agencies, including the Farm Service Agency, to assist agricultural customers in obtaining credit enhancement products, such as loan guaranties.
In accordance with its loan policy, Citizens Bank maintains a diversified loan portfolio. As part of its loan policy and community banking approach, Citizens Bank does not buy loan syndications with other lending institutions. Citizens Bank does buy and sell loan participations with other community banks. In connection with its credit relationships, Citizens Bank encourages commercial and agricultural borrowers to maintain deposit accounts at the Bank.
Personal Financial Services
The principal consumer services offered by Citizens Bank are demand, savings and time deposit accounts, home mortgage loans, installment loans, and brokerage services.
One of the strengths of Citizens Bank is the stability of its retail deposit base. This stability is due primarily to the Bank’s service oriented competitive strategy and the economically diverse populations of the counties encompassing the twenty-one banking offices. These locations provide convenience for customers and visibility for Citizens Bank. A variety of marketing strategies are used to attract and retain stable depositors, the most important of which is the officer call program. Nearly all officers of the Bank call on customers and potential customers of the Bank to maintain and develop relationships.
Citizens Bank is active in consumer and mortgage lending with approximately $127.7 million in home mortgage loans (17.7 % of the Bank’s total loan portfolio) and $72.3 million in consumer installment loans (10.0% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio) as of December 31, 2007. To better serve its retail customers, Citizens Bank is active in the secondary residential mortgage market. As a matter of policy, Citizens Bank does not hold, in portfolio, long term, fixed rate, single-family home mortgage loans, however, the servicing of such loans is maintained. As of December 31, 2007, Citizens Bank had $268.4 million of loans that have been sold, but servicing has been maintained. Management believes customers receive a higher level of quality service with this arrangement.
Citizens Bank maintains twenty-five automated teller machines. The Bank is a member of ACCEL/Exchange and NYCE as well as other major nationwide networks such as, CIRRUS and PLUS. To enhance customer service and convenience, Citizens Bank offers ATM & Debit Cards, which can be used anywhere VISA is accepted, and is viewed as a tremendous benefit to our customers. Citizens Bank also offers an entire host of Internet Banking services including Bill Pay as an additional and convenient alternative delivery mechanism for its product and service line.
Citizens Bank continues to maintain an intensive sales training program, which includes team coaching, setting goals, measuring results, and reward recognition. In 2007, Citizens Bank continues to focus on making quality product referrals and sales.
Citizens Financial Advisors (“CFA”)
CFA Fiduciary Services took a significant competitive stride forward in 2007 with its affiliation with Matrix Settlement and Clearing Services of Denver, Colorado. Matrix will provide a platform to expand the mutual funds from the current two prominent fund families, that of Federated and Accessor Funds, to virtually all funds in the entire industry. This “open architecture” offering will allow Fiduciary Services to give its clients a choice of over 36,000 various mutual funds and share classes.
Fiduciary Services continued to transfer additional duties of the various 401(K) client businesses to BPA-Harbridge, Inc. (“BPA”) in 2007. These transfers allowed for the record keeping responsibilities of nearly $11 million to be professionally accounted for by BPA. These transferees allowed Fiduciary Services additional time to obtain new customers while retaining all oversight and control of the accounts.
During the year, Fiduciary Services also hired two new Relationship Mangers, both of which are highly trained with many years of experience. One of the Relationship Mangers is an Illinois licensed attorney while the other possesses an MBA from Northwestern University. With the addition of these two new Relationship Managers, Fiduciary Services has the most competent staff in its history and is poised for continued future growth.
Fiduciary Services completed the year with a 2.7% increase in total Income to $1,507,000. The increase was more significant since it is compared to 2006, which contained an additional $83,000 in farm management operations that were sold off during 2006.
CFA Investment Services (“Brokerage”) experienced excellent results through the continued entrenchment of the Client Advisors put into service at their particular branches during the previous year and the continued emphasis of broad needs-based client consultations. This emphasis allowed the Brokerage program to increase the percentage of client dollars invested in a wider variety of products such as separately managed accounts, stocks, bonds, and mutual funds and away from traditional high-client cost products such as fixed and variable annuities. Brokerage, after a specific concentration on the support of customer needs, increased their year over year total income by an impressive 24.9% to an all-time high of $920,000.
Competition
PNBC is committed to community banking and to providing quality products and services at competitive loan rates and deposit pricing in order to remain competitive in its North Central Illinois market. Citizens Bank competes with both small, locally owned banks, as well as regional financial institutions which have numerous offices. The Bank competes with these organizations, as well as with savings and loan associations, credit unions, mortgage companies, insurance companies and other local financial institutions for deposits, loans and other business. The principal methods of competition include loan and deposit pricing, the types and quality of services provided, as well as advertising and marketing programs.
Supervision and Regulation
Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under federal and state law. The following information describes certain statutes and regulations affecting PNBC and the Bank, and such discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations. Any change in applicable law or regulations may have a material effect on the business of PNBC and the Bank.
PNBC is registered as a bank holding company with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”), and is subject to supervision by the FRB under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). PNBC is required to file with the FRB periodic reports and such additional information as the FRB may require pursuant to the BHC Act. The FRB examines PNBC.
The BHC Act requires prior FRB approval for, among other things, the acquisition by a bank holding company of direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares or substantially all the assets of any bank or bank holding company, or for a merger or consolidation of a bank holding company with another bank holding company. With certain exceptions, the BHC Act prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging directly or indirectly in any activity other than banking or managing or controlling banks or performing services for its authorized subsidiaries. A bank holding company may, however, engage in or acquire an interest in a company that engages in activities which the FRB has determined by regulation or order to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.
In November, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLB Act”) was signed into law. Under the GLB Act, bank holding companies that meet certain standards and elect to become “financial holding companies” are permitted to engage in a wider range of activities than those permitted for bank holding companies, including securities and insurance activities. Specifically, a bank holding company that elects to become a financial holding company may engage in any activity that the Federal Reserve Board, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, determines is (i) financial in nature or incidental thereto, or (ii) complementary to any such financial-in-nature activity, provided that such complementary activity does not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. A bank holding company may elect to become a financial holding company only if each of its depository institution subsidiaries is well-capitalized, well-managed, and has a Community Reinvestment Act rating of “satisfactory” or better at their most recent examination.
The GLB Act specifies many activities that are financial in nature, including lending, exchanging, transferring, investing for others, or safeguarding money or securities; underwriting and selling insurance; providing financial, investment, or economic advisory services; underwriting, dealing in, or making a market in securities; and those activities currently permitted for bank holding companies that are so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks, as to be a proper incident thereto.
The GLB Act changed federal laws to facilitate affiliation between banks and entities engaged in securities and insurance activities. The law also established a system of functional regulation under which banking activities, securities activities, and insurance activities conducted by financial holding companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates will be separately regulated by banking, securities, and insurance regulators, respectively.
PNBC is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. The major source of PNBC’s revenue is dividends received from the Bank. The right of PNBC to participate as a stockholder in any distribution of assets of the Bank upon its liquidation or reorganization or otherwise is subject to the prior claims of creditors of the Bank. The Bank is subject to claims by creditors for long-term and short-term debt obligations, including obligations for federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, as well as deposit liabilities. The Bank is subject to regulation and examinations by the Office of Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”).
The Bank may declare dividends out of undivided profits, except that until the surplus fund of the Bank is equal to its common capital, no dividend can be declared until one-tenth of the Bank’s net income for the applicable period has been carried to the surplus fund. The Bank, however, cannot declare or pay a dividend, if after making the dividend, the Bank would be undercapitalized. In addition, prior approval of the OCC is required if dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar year will exceed its net income for that year combined with its retained net income for the preceding two years. Under national banking regulations and capital guidelines, as of December 31, 2007, the Bank was authorized to distribute approximately $9,009,000 as dividends without prior approval from the OCC, based on net income for 2007 and retained net income for 2005 and 2006. As of January 1, 2008, retained net income for the prior two years was approximately $7,556,000 and during 2008 the Bank may pay dividends without prior approval from the OCC equal to that amount plus any 2008 net income. Future payments of dividends by the Bank will be dependent on individual regulatory capital requirements and levels of profitability. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends may be further restricted as a result of regulatory policies and guidelines relating to dividend payments and capital adequacy.
Federal laws limit certain transactions between the Bank and its affiliates, including PNBC. Such transactions include loans or extensions of credit by the Bank to PNBC, the purchase of assets or securities of PNBC, the acceptance of PNBC’s securities as collateral for loans, and the issuance of a guaranty, acceptance or letter of credit on behalf of PNBC. Transactions of this kind are limited to 10% of the Bank’s capital and surplus for transactions with one affiliate, and 20% of the Bank’s capital and surplus for transactions with all affiliates. Such transactions are also subject to certain collateral requirements. These transactions, as well as other transactions between the Bank and PNBC, must also be on terms substantially the same as, or at least as favorable as, those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies or, in the absence of comparable transactions, on terms, or under circumstances, including credit standards, that would be offered to, or would apply to, nonaffiliated companies.
FRB policy requires PNBC to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and commit resources to support the Bank. The FRB takes the position that in implementing this policy, it may require PNBC to provide such support when PNBC otherwise would not consider itself able to do so.
The various federal bank regulators, including the FRB and the OCC, have adopted risk-based capital requirements for assessing bank holding company and bank capital adequacy. These standards establish minimum capital standards in relation to assets and off-balance sheet exposures, as adjusted for credit risks. Capital is classified into two tiers. For bank holding companies, Tier 1 or “core” capital consists of common shareholders’ equity, perpetual preferred stock (subject to certain limitations) and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, and is reduced by goodwill and certain other intangible assets (“Tier 1 Capital”). Tier 2 capital consists of (subject to certain conditions and limitations) the allowance for possible credit losses, perpetual preferred stock, “hybrid capital instruments,” perpetual debt and mandatory convertible debt securities, and term subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock (“Tier 2 Capital”). Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital (the latter being limited to 100% of Tier 1 Capital). Components of Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital for national banks are similar, but not identical, to those for holding companies.
Under the risk-adjusted capital standards, a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8% and of Tier l Capital to risk-weighted assets of 4% is required. The FRB and OCC also have adopted a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 Capital to total assets of 3% for banks rated “1” under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System or bank holding companies rated “1” under the rating system of bank holding companies. All other banks and bank holding companies must maintain a leverage ratio of 4%. In addition, all banks and bank holding companies are expected to have capital commensurate with the level and nature of all risks to which they are exposed.
At December 31, 2007, PNBC had a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.44%, a Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 8.03%, and a leverage ratio of 6.33%. PNBC is classified as adequately capitalized for the first ratio and well-capitalized for the last two ratios. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 10.07%, a Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 9.66%, and a leverage ratio of 7.61%. The Bank is classified as well-capitalized for all three ratios.
Currently, the Bank’s deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is administered by the FDIC. The Deposit Insurance Fund was created by the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the “FDIRA”), which merged the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”) with the Savings Association Insurance Fund (“SAIF”) during 2006.
Following the adoption of the FDIRA, the FDIC has the opportunity, through its rulemaking authority, to better price deposit insurance for risk than was previously authorized. The FDIC adopted regulations effective January 1, 2007 that create a system of risk-based assessments. Under the regulations there are four risk categories, and each insured institution will be assigned to a risk category based on capital levels and supervisory ratings. Well-capitalized institutions with CAMELS composite ratings of 1 or 2 will be placed in Risk Category I while other institutions will be placed in Risk Categories II, III or IV depending on their capital levels and CAMELS composite ratings. Current assessment rates established by the FDIC provide that the highest rated institutions, those in Risk Category I, will pay premiums of between .05% and .07% of deposits and the lowest rated institutions, those in Risk Category IV, will pay premiums of .43% of deposits. The assessment rates may be changed by the FDIC as necessary to maintain the insurance fund at the reserve ratio designated by the FDIC, which currently is 1.25% of insured deposits. The FDIC may set the reserve ratio annually at between 1.15% and 1.50% of insured deposits. Deposit insurance assessments are collected for a quarter at the end of the next quarter. Assessments are based on deposit balances at the end of the quarter, except for institutions with $1 billion or more in assets and institutions that become insured on or after January 1, 2007 will have their assessment base determined using average daily balances of insured deposits.
Effective November 17, 2006, the FDIC implemented a one-time credit of $4.7 billion to eligible institutions. The purpose of the credit is to recognize contributions made by certain institutions to capitalize the Bank Insurance Fund and Savings Association Insurance Fund, which have now been merged into the Deposit Insurance Fund. The Bank is an eligible institution and received notice from the FDIC that its share of the credit is $647,000. This amount is not reflected in the accompanying financial statements as it represents contingent future credits against future insurance assessment payments. As such, the timing and ultimate recoverability of the one-time credit may change. In 2007, FDIC premium credits received totaled $381,000 against the premium expense, leaving a remaining credit of $266,000 to offset future premium expense.
All FDIC-insured depository institutions must pay a quarterly assessment to provide funds for the payment of interest on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation, a federal corporation chartered under the authority of the Federal Housing Finance Board. The bonds (commonly referred to as FICO bonds) were issued to capitalize the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.
Federal law permits adequately capitalized and adequately managed bank holding companies to acquire banks across state lines, without regard to whether the transaction is prohibited by state law. Any state law relating to the minimum age of target banks (not to exceed five years) or limits on the amount of deposits that may be controlled by a single bank or bank holding company applies. The FRB is not permitted to approve any acquisition if, after the acquisition, the bank holding company would control more than 10% of the deposits of insured depository institutions nationwide or 30% or more of the deposits in the state where the target bank is located. The FRB could approve an acquisition, notwithstanding the 30% limit, if the state waives the limit either by state regulation or order of the appropriate state official.
Banks are permitted to merge with one another across state lines and thereby create a main bank with branches in separate states. After establishing branches in a state through an interstate merger transaction, a bank can establish and acquire additional branches at any location in the state where any bank involved in the merger could have established or acquired branches under applicable federal or state law. In addition, the laws of some states, including Illinois, permit a bank with its main office in another state to establish de novo branches or to acquire a branch of another bank without acquiring the entire bank. Therefore, if the laws of another state so permit, the Bank could establish a de novo branch or acquire a branch of a bank in such state, even if the laws of such state require a reciprocal provision.
PNBC does not have current plans to acquire banking organizations located outside the state of Illinois.
National banks may establish operating subsidiaries to engage in activities in which the bank could engage directly.
National banks are also authorized by the GLB Act to engage, through “financial subsidiaries,” in activities that are permissible for financial holding companies and activities that the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the FRB, determines are financial in nature or incidental to any such financial activity, except (i) insurance underwriting, (ii) real estate development or real estate investment activities (unless otherwise permitted by law), (iii) insurance company portfolio investments, and (iv) merchant banking. A national bank’s authority to invest in a financial subsidiary is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, requirements that the bank be well-managed and well-capitalized (after deducting from capital the bank’s outstanding investment in financial subsidiaries).
The GLB Act affected many other changes to federal law applicable to PNBC and the Bank. One of these changes was a requirement that financial institutions take steps to protect customers’ “nonpublic personal information.”
Employees
PNBC presently has no employees. However, certain of the employees and executive officers of Citizens Bank provide their services to PNBC. An annual fee for these services is paid by PNBC to Citizens Bank. This fee is based upon an average of the number of hours worked during the year.
As of December 31, 2007, Citizens Bank employed 272 full-time and 79 part-time employees. The Bank offers a variety of employee benefits. Citizens Bank employees are not represented by a union or a collective bargaining agreement, and employee relations are considered to be excellent.
Citizens Bank believes one of its strengths is its ability to attract and retain experienced and well-trained personnel who are knowledgeable of the market areas in which it operates. Management believes that PNBC generally has an easier time attracting and retaining quality employees than other banks in North Central Illinois. This is due primarily to its size and management style, which affords greater opportunities to employees for direct participation and development of managerial and banking skills.
In order to implement PNBC’s community banking philosophy and to promote itself as a community oriented organization, the Bank has a formal officer call program. Nearly every officer of the Bank calls on existing or potential customers and is expected to become actively involved in leadership positions in community organizations. As of December 31, 2007, employees of the Bank participated in approximately 371 community organizations, providing over 13,600 hours of community service.

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Corporation. Additional risks and uncertainties that management is not aware of or focused on or deems immaterial may arise or become material in the future and affect PNBC’s business. If any of these risks actually occur, PNBC’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of PNBC common stock could decrease significantly.
PNBC’s concentration of agricultural loans is subject to risks that could adversely affect earnings.
PNBC’s agricultural and agricultural real estate loan portfolio total $146.7 million at December 31, 2007, comprising 20.3% of total loans. The primary risks associated with agricultural loans are weather and borrower’s management. In the event of catastrophic weather conditions, such as severe drought or flooding, these loans would represent a higher risk due to poor crop sales and reduced cash flow that could impact the borrowers’ ability to repay the loan on a timely basis.
Changes in interest rates could adversely impact the financial condition and results of operations.
PNBC’s ability to make a profit, like that of most financial institutions, substantially depends upon its net interest income. However, certain assets and liabilities may react differently to changes in market interest rates. In a period of changing rates, interest expense may increase at different rates than the interest earned. Accordingly, changes in interest rates could decrease net interest income.
The allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses decreasing earnings.
In determining the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses, management considers, among other things, the overall composition of the loan portfolio, types of loans, past loss experience, loan delinquencies, potential substandard and doubtful loans, underlying collateral, and other factors that, in management’s best judgment, deserve evaluation. Although management monitors the allowance monthly and considers it adequate to absorb probable losses at December 31, 2007, if any of the assumptions are incorrect, the allowance may not be sufficient to cover future loan losses. Future adjustments may be necessary to allow for different economic conditions or adverse developments in the loan portfolio. Consequently, a problem with one or more loans could require the Corporation to significantly increase the level of its provision for loan losses resulting in a reduction of earnings.
The Internal Controls of PNBC may not be effective.
Management reviews and tests on a quarterly basis its system of internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance polices and procedures. Any system of internal controls, however well designed, is based on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are actually being met. Any failure or circumvention of these controls could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.
There is competition within the PNBC market areas which may limit growth and profitability.
Because the banking business is highly competitive, PNBC faces significant competition both in originating loans and attracting deposits. Competition can not only be affected by the pricing of loans and deposits, but also by the variety of products offered. The ability of the Corporation to continue to grow in the markets served while effectively managing interest rate risk is contingent upon being able to operate in this competitive environment, which ultimately affects the Corporation’s profitability.
The success of PNBC is dependent on hiring and retaining key personnel.
PNBC’s performance is largely dependent on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals. The Corporation relies on key personnel to manage and operate its business and the loss of any of these individuals may adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to maintain and/or manage the business effectively. This could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.
PNBC operates in a highly regulated environment.
PNBC is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination. Any changes in the regulations or applicable laws and the failure of the Corporation to comply with any of the regulations and laws could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 2. Properties
PNBC’s headquarters and Citizens Bank’s principal offices are located at 606 South Main Street, Princeton, Illinois. Also located at this address is an annex building completed in 1990. The two buildings at this location are owned by Citizens Bank and contain approximately 36,000 square feet of space, all of which is occupied by PNBC and Citizens Bank. Citizens Bank also has two drive-up facilities in Princeton and branch offices in Aurora, DePue, Genoa, Hampshire, Henry, Huntley, Millbrook, Minooka, Newark, Oglesby, Peru, Plainfield, Plano, Sandwich, Somonauk and Spring Valley. Citizens Bank is the owner of each of these facilities. None of the facilities owned by the Bank are subject to a mortgage. Additionally, the mortgage banking department of the Bank is located in Spring Valley in a separate location from the branch office. This location is not owned by the Bank and is rented by lease agreement. For additional information regarding these properties, see Footnote 6 of Item 8 of this report.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Bank is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although management of the Corporation cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such matters, it believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation, the Bank, or the Corporation’s financial position, liquidity, and results of operations.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of the security holders during the fourth quarter of 2007.

On December 31, 2007, PNBC had 805 registered holders of record of its Common Stock.
The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as are declared by the Board of Directors of PNBC, which considers payment of dividends quarterly. The ability of PNBC to pay dividends is dependent upon receipt of dividends from the Bank. In determining cash dividends, the Board of Directors considers the earnings, capital requirements, debt servicing requirements, financial ratio guidelines established by the Board, the financial condition of PNBC and other relevant factors. The Bank’s ability to pay dividends to PNBC is subject to regulatory restrictions. See “Supervision and Regulation.”
PNBC has paid regular cash dividends on the Common Stock since it commenced operations in 1982. PNBC currently anticipates that cash dividends comparable to those that have been paid in the past will continue to be paid in the future. There can be no assurance, however, that any such dividends will be paid by PNBC or that such dividends will not be reduced or eliminated in the future. The timing and amount of dividends will depend upon the earnings, capital requirements, and financial condition of PNBC and the Bank as well as the general economic conditions and other relevant factors affecting PNBC and the Bank. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
