The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all the information and notes necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is written with the presumption that the users of the interim financial statements have read or have access to the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company, which contains the latest audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of
December 31, 2012
and for the year then ended. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
March 31, 2013
, and the results of operations and cash flows for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2013
and
2012
. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available to management at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2013
may not be indicative of results for the year ending
December 31, 2013
, or for any other period.
All significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the quarterly financial statements are disclosed in the
December 31, 2012
Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks, and federal funds sold.

,
none
were issued or outstanding.
Common Stock
: As of
March 31, 2013

.
On October 18, 2011, our Board of Directors amended the Company's existing
$1.0 million
share repurchase program, originally authorized on July 26, 2011, by increasing the remaining amount of authorized repurchases to
$5.0 million
, and extending the expiration of the program to December 31, 2012.
On
January 15, 2013
, the Company's board of directors announced the renewal of the Company's share repurchase program, extending the expiration of the program to
December 31, 2014
and increasing the remaining amount of authorized repurchases under the program to
$5.0 million
from the approximately
$2.4 million
of authorized repurchases that had previously remained. Pursuant to the program, the Company may continue to repurchase shares from time to time in the open market, and the method, timing and amounts of repurchase will be solely in the discretion of the Company's management. The repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire a specific number of shares. Therefore, the amount of shares repurchased pursuant to the program will depend on several factors, including market conditions, capital and liquidity requirements, and alternative uses for cash available. As of
March 31, 2013
the remaining amount available for share repurchases under the program was
$5.0 million
.

The Company's assessment of other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") is based on its reasonable judgment of the specific facts and circumstances impacting each individual security at the time such assessments are made. The Company reviews and considers factual information, including expected cash flows, the structure of the security, the credit quality of the underlying assets and the current and anticipated market conditions.
At
March 31, 2013
, approximately
62%
of the municipal bonds held by the Company were Iowa based. The Company does not intend to sell these municipal obligations, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell them before the recovery of its cost. Due to the issuers' continued satisfaction of their obligations under the securities in accordance with their contractual terms and the expectation that they will continue to do so, management's intent and ability to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value, as well as the evaluation of the fundamentals of the issuers' financial condition and other objective evidence, the Company believes that the municipal obligations identified in the tables above were temporarily depressed as of
March 31, 2013
and
December 31, 2012
.
The receipt of principal, at par, and interest on mortgage-backed securities is guaranteed by the respective government-sponsored agency guarantor, such that the Company believes that its mortgage-backed securities do not expose the Company to credit-related losses. At
March 31, 2013
and
December 31, 2012
, the Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio consisted of securities predominantly underwritten to the standards of and guaranteed by the following government-sponsored agencies: FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA.
At
March 31, 2013
, the Company owned
six
collateralized debt obligations backed by pools of trust preferred securities with an original cost basis of
$9.8 million
. The book value of these securities as of
March 31, 2013
totaled
$1.8 million
, after other-than-temporary impairment charges during 2008, 2009, and 2010. All of the Company's trust preferred collateralized debt obligations are in mezzanine tranches and are currently rated less than investment grade by Moody's Investor Services. They are secured by trust preferred securities of banks and insurance companies throughout the United States, and were rated as investment grade securities when purchased between March 2006 and December 2007. However, as the banking climate eroded during 2008, the securities experienced cash flow problems. Due to continued market deterioration in these securities during 2009 and 2010, additional pre-tax charges to earnings were recorded. As of
March 31, 2013
, no additional charges had been recognized during 2011, 2012, or 2013. The market for these securities is considered to be inactive according to the guidance issued in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of its pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations and to assess other-than-temporary impairment. The discounted cash flow analysis was performed in accordance with ASC Topic 325. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include the following: estimated discount rates (using yields of comparable traded instruments adjusted for illiquidity and other risk factors), estimated deferral and default rates on collateral, and estimated cash flows. The Company also reviewed a stress test of these securities to determine the additional deferrals or defaults in the collateral pool in excess of what the Company believes is probable, before the payments on the individual securities are negatively impacted.
As of
March 31, 2013
, the Company also owned
$1.8 million
of equity securities in banks and financial service-related companies, and
$1.0 million
of mutual funds invested in debt securities and other debt instruments that will cause shares of the fund to be deemed to be qualified under the Community Reinvestment Act (the "CRA"). Equity securities are
9
Table of Contents
considered to have other-than-temporary impairment whenever they have been in a loss position, compared to current book value, for twelve consecutive months, and the Company does not expect them to recover to their original cost basis. For the
first quarter
of
2013
and the full year of
2012
,
no
impairment charges were recorded, as the affected equity securities were not deemed impaired due to stabilized market prices in relation to the Company's original purchase price.
It is reasonably possible that the fair values of the Company's investment securities could decline in the future if the overall economy and the financial condition of the issuers deteriorate and the liquidity of these securities remains depressed. As a result, there is a risk that other-than-temporary impairments may occur in the future and any such amounts could be material to the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligations are collateralized by mortgage loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. Experience has indicated that principal payments will be collected sooner than scheduled because of prepayments. Therefore, these securities are not scheduled in the maturity categories indicated above. Equity securities available for sale with an amortized cost of
$2.6 million
and a fair value of
$2.8 million
are also excluded from this table.
Other investment securities include investments in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock. The carrying value of the FHLB stock at
March 31, 2013
and
December 31, 2012
was
$12.2 million
and
$11.1 million
, respectively, which is included in the Other Assets line of the consolidated balance sheets. This security is not readily marketable and ownership of FHLB stock is a requirement for membership in the FHLB Des Moines. The amount of FHLB stock the Bank is required to hold is directly related to the amount of FHLB advances borrowed. Because there are no available market values, this security is carried at cost and evaluated for potential impairment each quarter. Redemption of this investment is at the option of the FHLB.
Realized gains and losses on sales are determined on the basis of specific identification of investments based on the trade date. Realized gains on investments for the
three months

Loan Portfolio Segment Risk Characteristics
Agricultural
- Agricultural loans, most of which are secured by crops, livestock, and machinery, are provided to finance capital improvements and farm operations as well as acquisitions of livestock and machinery. The ability of the borrower
11
Table of Contents
to repay may be affected by many factors outside of the borrower's control including adverse weather conditions, loss of livestock due to disease or other factors, declines in market prices for agricultural products and the impact of government regulations. The ultimate repayment of agricultural loans is dependent upon the profitable operation or management of the agricultural entity. Collateral for these loans generally includes accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real estate. However, depending on the overall financial condition of the borrower, some loans are made on an unsecured basis. The collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.
Commercial and Industrial
- Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the reported cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The collateral support provided by the borrower for most of these loans and the probability of repayment are based on the liquidation of the pledged collateral and enforcement of a personal guarantee, if any exists. The primary repayment risks of commercial and industrial loans are that the cash flows of the borrower may be unpredictable, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. The size of the loans the Company can offer to commercial customers is less than the size of the loans that competitors with larger lending limits can offer. This may limit the Company's ability to establish relationships with the area's largest businesses. As a result, the Company may assume greater lending risks than financial institutions that have a lesser concentration of such loans and tend to make loans to larger businesses. Collateral for these loans generally includes accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real estate. However, depending on the overall financial condition of the borrower, some loans are made on an unsecured basis. The collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. In addition, if the United States economy does not meaningfully improve, this could harm or continue to harm the businesses of our commercial and industrial customers and reduce the value of the collateral securing these loans.
Commercial Real Estate
- The Company offers mortgage loans to commercial and agricultural customers for the acquisition of real estate used in their businesses, such as offices, warehouses and production facilities, and to real estate investors for the acquisition of apartment buildings, retail centers, office buildings and other commercial buildings. The market value of real estate securing commercial real estate loans can fluctuate significantly in a short period of time as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. Adverse developments affecting real estate values in one or more of the Company's markets could increase the credit risk associated with its loan portfolio. Additionally, real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of the loans generally is dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the properties securing the loans to cover operating expenses and debt service. Economic events or governmental regulations outside of the control of the borrower or lender could negatively impact the future cash flow and market values of the affected properties.
Residential Real Estate
- The Company generally retains short-term residential mortgage loans that are originated for its own portfolio but sells most long-term loans to other parties while retaining servicing rights on the majority of those. The market value of real estate securing residential real estate loans can fluctuate as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. Adverse developments affecting real estate values in one or more of the Company's markets could increase the credit risk associated with its loan portfolio. Additionally, real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of the loans generally is dependent, in large part, on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and is therefore more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.
Consumer
- Consumer loans typically have shorter terms, lower balances, higher yields and higher risks of default. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and are therefore more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Collateral for these loans generally includes automobiles, boats, recreational vehicles, mobile homes, and real estate. However, depending on the overall financial condition of the borrower, some loans are made on an unsecured basis. The collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to recover and may fluctuate in value based on condition. In addition, a decline in the United States economy could result in reduced employment, impacting the ability of customers to repay their obligations.
Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality (loan pool participations)
- The underlying loans in the loan pool participations include both fixed-rate and variable-rate instruments. No amounts for interest due are reflected in the carrying value of the loan pool participations. Based on historical experience, the average period of collectibility for loans underlying loan pool participations, many of which have exceeded contractual maturity dates, is approximately three to five years. Loan pool balances are affected by the payment and refinancing activities of the borrowers resulting in pay-offs of the underlying loans and reduction in the balances. Collections from the individual borrowers are managed by the loan pool servicer and are affected by the borrower's financial ability and willingness to pay, foreclosure and legal action, collateral value, and the economy in general.

Charge-off Policy
The Company requires a loan to be charged-off as soon as it becomes apparent that some loss will be incurred, or when its collectability is sufficiently questionable that it no longer is considered a bankable asset. The primary considerations when determining if and how much of a loan should be charged-off are as follows: (1) the potential for future cash flows; (2) the value of any collateral; and (3) the strength of any co-makers or guarantors.
When it is determined that a loan requires partial or full charge-off, a request for approval of a charge-off is submitted to the Bank's President, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer, and the Senior Regional Loan officer. The Bank's Board of Directors formally approves all loan charge-offs. Once a loan is charged-off, it cannot be restructured and returned to the Bank's books.
The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses - Bank Loans
The Company requires the maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) in order to cover estimated probable losses without eroding the Company's capital base. Calculations are done at each quarter end, or more frequently if warranted, to analyze the collectability of loans and to ensure the adequacy of the allowance. In line with FDIC directives, the ALLL calculation does not include consideration of loans held for sale or off-balance-sheet credit exposures (such as unfunded letters of credit). Determining the appropriate level for the ALLL relies on the informed judgment of management, and as such, is subject to inaccuracy. Given the inherently imprecise nature of calculating the necessary ALLL, the Company's policy permits an "unallocated" allowance between
15%
above and
5%
below the “indicated reserve.” These unallocated amounts are present due to the inherent imprecision in the ALLL calculation.
Loans Reviewed Individually for Impairment
The Company identifies loans to be reviewed and evaluated individually for impairment, based on current information and events, and the probability that the borrower will be unable to repay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Specific areas of consideration include: size of credit exposure, risk rating, delinquency, nonaccrual status, and loan classification.
The level of individual impairment is measured using one of the following methods: (1) the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell; (2) the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate; or (3) the loan's observable market price. Loans that are deemed fully collateralized or have been charged down to a level corresponding with any three of the measurements require no assignment of reserves from the ALLL.
All loans deemed troubled debt restructure or “TDR” are considered impaired. A loan is considered a TDR when the Bank, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that the Bank would not otherwise consider. All of the following factors are indicators that the Bank has granted a concession (one or multiple items may be present):
•
The borrower receives a reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt.
•
The borrower receives an extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower that the current market interest rate for new debt with similar risk characteristics.
•
The borrower receives a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement.
•
The borrower receives a deferral of required payments (principal and/or interest).
•
The borrower receives a reduction of the accrued interest.

Loans Reviewed Collectively for Impairment
All loans not evaluated individually for impairment are grouped together by type (i.e. commercial, agricultural, consumer, etc.) and further segmented within each subset by risk classification (i.e. pass, special mention, and substandard). Homogeneous loans past due 60-89 days and 90+ days, are classified special mention and substandard, respectively, for allocation purposes.
The Company's historical loss experience for each loan type is calculated using the fiscal quarter-end data for the most recent
20
quarters as a starting point for estimating losses. In addition, other prevailing qualitative or environmental factors likely to cause probable losses to vary from historical data are incorporated in the form of adjustments to increase or decrease the loss rate applied to each group. These adjustments are documented, and fully explain how the current information, events, circumstances, and conditions impact the historical loss measurement assumptions.
Although not a comprehensive list, the following are considered key factors and are evaluated with each calculation of the ALLL to determine if adjustments to historical loss rates are warranted:
•
Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses.
•
Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that
14
Table of Contents
affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments.
•
Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans.
•
Changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff.
•
Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans.
•
Changes in the quality of our loan review system.
•
Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans.
•
The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations.
•
The effect of other external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the level of estimated credit losses in the Bank's existing portfolio.
The items listed above are used to determine the pass percentage for loans evaluated collectively and, as such, are applied to the loans risk rated pass. Due to the inherent risks associated with special mention risk rated loans (i.e. early stages of financial deterioration, technical exceptions, etc.), this subset is reserved at
two
times the pass allocation factor to reflect this increased risk exposure. In addition, non-impaired loans classified as substandard loans carry exponentially greater risk than special mention loans, and as such, this subset is reserved at
six
times the pass allocation. Further, non-impaired loans identified as substandard “performing collateral deficient” are reserved at
12
times the pass allocation due to the perceived additional risk for such credits.
The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses - Loan Pool Participations
The Company requires that the loan pool participation ALLL will be at least sufficient to cover the next quarter's estimated charge-offs as presented by the servicer. Currently, charge-offs are netted against the income the Company receives, thus the balance in the loan pool participation reserve is not affected and remains stable. In essence, a provision for loan losses is made that is equal to the quarterly charge-offs, which is deducted from income received from the loan pool participations. By maintaining a sufficient reserve to cover the next quarter's charge-offs, the Company will have sufficient reserves in place should no income be collected from the loan pool participations during the quarter. In the event the estimated charge-offs provided by the servicer are greater than the loan pool participation ALLL, an additional provision is made to cover the difference between the current ALLL and the estimated charge-offs provided by the servicer.
Loans Reviewed Individually for Impairment
The loan servicer reviews the portfolio quarterly on a loan-by-loan basis, and loans that are deemed to be impaired are charged-down to their estimated value. All loans that are to be charged-down are reserved against in the ALLL adequacy calculation. Loans that continue to have an investment basis that have been charged-down are monitored, and if additional impairment is noted the reserve requirement is increased on the individual loan.
Loans Reviewed Collectively for Impairment
The Company utilizes the annualized average of portfolio loan (not loan pool) historical loss per risk category over a two-year period of time. Supporting documentation for the technique used to develop the historical loss rate for each group of loans is required to be maintained. It is management's assessment that the two-year rate is most reflective of the probable credit losses in the current loan pool portfolio.

Special Mention/Watch
- A special mention/watch asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company's credit position at some future date. Special mention/watch assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard
- Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
16
Table of Contents
Doubtful
- Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss
- Loans classified loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.

Non-accrual and Delinquent Loans
Loans are placed on non-accrual when (1) payment in full of principal and interest is no longer expected or (2) principal or interest has been in default for 90 days or more (unless the loan is both well secured with marketable collateral and in the process of collection). All loans rated doubtful or worse, and certain loans rated substandard, are placed on non-accrual.
A non-accrual asset may be restored to an accrual status when (1) all past due principal and interest has been paid (excluding renewals and modifications that involve the capitalizing of interest) or (2) the loan becomes well secured and is in the process of collection. An established track record of performance is also considered when determining accrual status.
Delinquency status of a loan is determined by the number of days that have elapsed past the loan's payment due date, using the following classification groupings: 30-59 days, 60-89 days and 90 days or more. Loans shown in the 30-59 days and 60-89 days columns in the table above reflect contractual delinquency status of loans not considered nonperforming due to classification as a TDR or being placed on non-accrual.

Loan Pool Participations
ASC Topic 310 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor's initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. The loans underlying the loan pool participations were evaluated individually when purchased for application of ASC Topic 310, utilizing various criteria including: past-due status, late payments, legal status of the loan (not in foreclosure, judgment against the borrower, or referred to legal counsel), frequency of payments made, collateral adequacy and the borrower's financial condition. If all the criteria were met, the individual loan utilized the accounting treatment required by ASC Topic 310 with the accretable yield difference between the expected cash flows and the purchased basis accreted into income on the level yield basis over the anticipated life of the loan. If any of the
six
criteria were not met at the time of purchase, the loan was accounted for on the cash-basis of accounting.
The loan servicer reviews the portfolio quarterly on a loan-by-loan basis, and loans that are deemed to be impaired are charged-down to their estimated value. As of
March 31, 2013
, approximately
66%
of the loans were contractually current or less than 90 days past due, while
34%
were contractually past due 90 days or more. Many of the loans were acquired in a contractually past due status, which is reflected in the discounted purchase price of the loans. Performance status is monitored on a monthly basis. The
34%
contractually past due includes loans in litigation and foreclosed property.
6.
Income Taxes
Federal income tax expense for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2013
and
2012
was computed using the consolidated effective federal tax rate. The Company also recognized income tax expense pertaining to state franchise taxes payable by the subsidiary bank.

Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability is not adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.
21
Table of Contents
ASC Topic 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
•
Level 1 Inputs
– Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•
Level 2 Inputs
– Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
•
Level 3 Inputs
– Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
It is the Company's policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements. Recent market conditions have led to diminished, and in some cases, non-existent trading in certain of the financial asset classes. The Company is required to use observable inputs, to the extent available, in the fair value estimation process unless that data results from forced liquidations or distressed sales. Despite the Company's best efforts to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs, the current market environment has diminished the observability of trades and assumptions that have historically been available. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
V
aluation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Securities Available for Sale
- The Company's investment securities classified as available for sale include: debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government corporations and agencies, debt securities issued by state and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate debt securities, and equity securities. Quoted exchange prices are available for equity securities, which are classified as Level 1. The Company utilizes an independent pricing service to obtain the fair value of debt securities. On a quarterly basis, the Company selects a sample of 30 securities from its primary pricing service and compares them to a secondary independent pricing service to validate value. In addition, the Company periodically reviews the pricing methodology utilized by the primary independent service for reasonableness. Debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government corporations and agencies and mortgage-backed obligations are priced utilizing industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, volatility factors, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace and are classified as Level 2. Municipal securities are valued using a type of matrix or grid pricing, in which securities are benchmarked against the treasury rate based on credit characteristics. These model and matrix measurements are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. On an annual basis, a group of selected municipal securities are priced by a securities dealer and that price is used to verify the primary independent service's valuation.
The Company classifies its pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations as Level 3. The portfolio consists of six investments in collateralized debt obligations backed by pools of trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions and insurance companies. The Company has determined that the observable market data associated with these assets do not represent orderly transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 820 and reflect forced liquidations or distressed sales. Based on the lack of observable market data, the Company estimated fair value based on the observable data available and reasonable unobservable market data. The Company estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow model which used appropriately adjusted discount rates reflecting credit and liquidity risks.

Mortgage Servicing Rights
- The Company recognizes the rights to service mortgage loans for others on residential real estate loans internally originated and then sold. Mortgage servicing rights are recorded at fair value based on assumptions through a third-party valuation service. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the servicing cost per loan, the discount rate, the escrow float rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. Because many of these inputs are unobservable, the valuations are classified as Level 3.
The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of
March 31, 2013
and
December 31, 2012
. There were no liabilities subject to fair value measurement as of these dates. The assets are segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

Changes in the fair value of available for sale securities are included in other comprehensive income to the extent the changes are not considered other-than-temporary impairments. Other-than-temporary impairment tests are performed on a quarterly basis and any decline in the fair value of an individual security below its cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a write-down that is reflected directly in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
Collateral Dependent Impaired Loans
- From time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for credit losses is established. The specific reserves for collateral dependent impaired loans are based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of collateral is determined based on appraisals. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values due to various factors, including age of the appraisal, age of comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. Because many of these inputs are unobservable, the valuations are classified as Level 3.
Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO")
- Other real estate owned represents property acquired through foreclosures and settlements of loans. Property acquired is carried at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan at the time of acquisition, or the estimated fair value of the property, less disposal costs. The Company considers third party appraisals as well as independent fair value assessments from real estate brokers or persons involved in selling OREO in determining the fair value of particular properties. Accordingly, the valuation of OREO is subject to significant external and internal judgment. The Company also periodically reviews OREO to determine whether the property continues to be carried at the lower of its recorded book value or fair value of the property, less disposal costs. Because many of these inputs are unobservable, the valuations are classified as Level 3.

The following presents the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the financial instruments held by the Company at
March 31, 2013
and
December 31, 2012
. The information presented is subject to change over time based on a variety of factors. The operations of the Company are managed on a going concern basis and not a liquidation basis. As a result, the ultimate value realized from the financial instruments presented could be substantially different when actually recognized over time through the normal course of operations. Additionally, a substantial portion of the Company's inherent value is the Bank's capitalization and franchise value. Neither of these components has been given consideration in the presentation of fair values below.

•
Cash and cash equivalents, non-interest-bearing demand deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and accrued interest are instruments with carrying values that approximate fair value.
•
Investment securities available for sale are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Held to maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. Fair value is based upon quoted prices, if available. If a quoted price is not available, the fair value is obtained from benchmarking the security against similar securities by using a third-party pricing service.
•
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, with fair value being based on recent observable loan sales. The portfolio has historically consisted primarily of residential real estate loans.
•
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for other loans are determined using estimated future cash flows, discounted

at the interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality. The Company does record nonrecurring fair value adjustments to loans to reflect (1) partial write-downs and allowances that are based on the observable market price or appraised value of the collateral or (2) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value.
•
Loan pool participation carrying values represent the discounted price paid by us to acquire our participation interests in the various loan pool participations purchased, which approximates fair value.
•
The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock is estimated at its carrying value and redemption price of $100 per share.
•
Deposit liabilities are carried at historical cost. The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market account deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. If the fair value of the fixed maturity certificates of deposit is calculated at less than the carrying amount, the carrying value of these deposits is reported as the fair value.
•
Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and long-term debt are recorded at historical cost. The fair value of these items is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

* Not Meaningful. Third party appraisals are obtained as to the value of the underlying asset, but disclosure of this information would not provide meaningful information, as the range will vary widely from loan to loan. Types of discounts considered include age of the appraisal, local market conditions, current condition of the property, and estimated sales costs. These discounts will also vary from loan to loan, thus providing a range would not be meaningful.
Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on these estimated fair values.

Variable Interest Entities
Loan Pool Participations
The Company has invested in certain participation certificates of loan pools which are purchased, held and serviced by a third-party independent servicing corporation. The Company's portfolio holds approximately
95%
of the participation interests in the pools of loans owned and serviced by States Resources Corporation (“SRC”), a third-party loan servicing organization in Omaha, Nebraska, in which the Company participates. SRC's owner holds the rest. The Company does not have any ownership interest in or exert any control over SRC, and thus it is not included in the consolidated financial statements.
These pools of loans were purchased from large nonaffiliated banking organizations and from the FDIC acting as receiver of failed banks and savings associations. As loan pools were put out for bid (generally in a sealed bid auction), SRC's due diligence teams evaluated the loans and determined their interest in bidding on the pool. After the due diligence, the Company's management reviewed the status and decided if it wished to continue in the process. If the decision to consider a bid was made, SRC conducted additional analysis to determine the appropriate bid price. This analysis involved discounting loan cash flows with adjustments made for expected losses, changes in collateral values as well as targeted rates of return. A cost or investment basis was assigned to each individual loan at cents per dollar (discounted price) based on SRC's assessment of the recovery potential of each loan.
Once a bid was awarded to SRC, the Company assumed the risk of profit or loss but on a non-recourse basis so the risk is limited to its initial investment. The extent of the risk is also dependent upon: the debtor or guarantor's financial condition, the possibility that a debtor or guarantor may file for bankruptcy protection, SRC's ability to locate any collateral and obtain possession, the value of such collateral, and the length of time it takes to realize the recovery either through collection procedures, legal process, or resale of the loans after a restructure.
Loan pool participations are shown on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as a separate asset category. The original carrying value or investment basis of loan pool participations is the discounted price paid by the Company to acquire its interests, which, as noted, is less than the face amount of the underlying loans. The Company's investment basis is reduced as SRC recovers principal on the loans and remits its share to the Company or as loan balances are written off as uncollectible.

Effect of New Financial Accounting Standards
In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02,
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment
. This update permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset, other than goodwill, is impaired. Currently, entities are required to quantitatively test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually and more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. Under this update, if an entity concludes, based on an evaluation of all relevant qualitative factors, that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, it will not be required to perform the quantitative impairment test for that asset. The update is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02,
Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
. This update seeks to to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income, if the amount being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required that provide additional detail about those amounts. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to a balance sheet account (for example, inventory) instead of directly to income or expense in the same reporting period. For public entities, the amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
OVERVIEW
The Company provides financial services to individuals, businesses, governmental units and institutional customers in east central Iowa. The Bank has office locations in Belle Plaine, Burlington, Cedar Falls, Conrad, Coralville, Davenport, Fairfield, Fort Madison, Iowa City, Melbourne, North English, North Liberty, Oskaloosa, Ottumwa, Parkersburg, Pella, Sigourney, Waterloo and West Liberty, Iowa. MidWest
One
Insurance Services, Inc. provides personal and business insurance services in Pella, Melbourne and Oskaloosa, Iowa. The Bank is actively engaged in many areas of commercial banking, including: acceptance of demand, savings and time deposits; making commercial, real estate, agricultural and consumer loans; and other banking services tailored for its individual customers. The Wealth Management Division of the Bank administers estates, personal trusts, conservatorships, pension and profit-sharing accounts along with providing brokerage and other investment management services to customers.
We operate as an independent community bank that offers a broad range of customer-focused financial services as an alternative to large regional and multi-state banks in our market area. Management has invested in infrastructure and staffing to support our strategy of serving the financial needs of businesses, individuals and municipalities in our market area. We focus our efforts on core deposit generation, especially transaction accounts, and quality loan growth with an emphasis on growing commercial loan balances. We seek to maintain a disciplined pricing strategy on deposit generation that will allow us to compete for high quality loans while maintaining an appropriate spread over funding costs.
Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income on our earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense paid on our deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by non-interest income and expense, the provision for loan losses and income tax expense. Significant external factors that impact our results of operations include general economic and competitive conditions, as well as changes in market interest rates, government policies, and actions of regulatory authorities.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and with the statistical information and financial data appearing in this report as well as our
2012
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of operations for the
three
month period ended
March 31, 2013
are not necessarily indicative of results to be attained for any other period.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Critical accounting estimates are those which are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and require our management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting estimates relate to the allowance for loan losses, participation interests in loan pools, intangible assets, and fair value of available for sale investment securities, all of which involve significant judgment by our management. Information about our critical accounting estimates is included under Item 7, "
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2012
.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest income and fees earned on earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate levels and volume fluctuations within earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income. Net interest margin is net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets.
Certain assets with tax favorable treatment are evaluated on a tax-equivalent basis. Tax-equivalent basis assumes a federal income tax rate of 34%. Tax favorable assets generally have lower contractual pretax yields than fully taxable assets. A tax-equivalent analysis is performed by adding the tax savings to the earnings on tax-favorable assets. After factoring in the tax-favorable effects of these assets, the yields may be more appropriately evaluated against alternative earning assets.
Our net interest income for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2013
increased
$0.5 million
to
$13.8 million
compared with
$13.2 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2012
. Our total interest income of
$17.2 million
was
$0.3 million
lower in the
first quarter
of
2013
compared with the same period in
2012
. Most of the decrease in total interest income was attributable to
31
Table of Contents
a decrease in loan interest income due to the general low interest rate environment. This decrease was partially offset by increased loan pool participation income due to the payoff of several loans in the portfolio at a value greater than their net book value. Income from investment securities was relatively unchanged, despite an increase in the average balance of investment securities, reflecting reinvestment of maturing securities and purchases of new securities at lower market interest rates.The decrease in total interest income was more than offset by reduced interest expense on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities, including FHLB borrowings. Total interest expense for the
first quarter
of
2013
decreased
$0.9 million
, or
20.3%
, compared with the same period in
2012
, due primarily to lower average interest rates in
2013
. Our net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the
first quarter
of
2013
was relatively stable at
3.51%
compared with
3.52%
in the
first quarter
of
2012
. Net interest margin is a measure of the net return on interest-earning assets and is computed by dividing annualized net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis by the average of total interest-earning assets for the period. Our overall yield on earning assets declined to
4.33%
for the
first quarter
of
2013
from
4.60%
for the
first quarter
of
2012
. This decline was due primarily to lower rates being received on newly originated loans and purchases of investment securities. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased in the
first three months
of
2013
to
0.98%
from
1.26%
for the
first three months
of
2012
, due to the continued repricing of new time deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities, including FHLB borrowings at lower interest rates.

Table of Contents
The following table sets forth an analysis of volume and rate changes in interest income and interest expense on our average earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2013
, compared to the same period in
2012
, reported on a fully tax-equivalent basis assuming a 34% tax rate. The table distinguishes between the changes related to average outstanding balances (changes in volume holding the initial interest rate constant) and the changes related to average interest rates (changes in average rate holding the initial outstanding balance constant). The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Interest income and fees on loans
on a tax-equivalent basis
decreased
$1.0 million
, or
7.3%
, in the
first quarter
of
2013
compared to the same period in
2012
. Average loans were
$53.2 million
, or
5.4%
,
higher
in the
first quarter
of
2013
compared with
2012
. We believe the increase in average loan balances was attributable to a gradual improvement in general economic conditions, resulting in the willingness of borrowers to consider incurring more debt to support growth in their businesses. The yield on our loan portfolio is affected by the amount of nonaccrual loans (which do not earn interest income), the mix of the portfolio (real estate loans generally have a lower overall yield than commercial and agricultural loans), the effects of competition and the interest rate environment on the amounts and volumes of new loan originations, and the mix of variable-rate versus fixed-rate loans in our portfolio. The average rate on loans
decreased
from
5.44%
in the
first quarter
of
2012
to
4.82%
in
first quarter
of
2013
, primarily due to new and renewing loans being made at lower interest rates than those paying down.
Interest and discount income on loan pool participations
was
$1.1 million
for the
first quarter
of
2013
compared with
$0.5 million
for the
first quarter
of
2012
,
an increase
of
$0.6 million
. Average loan pool participations were
$14.0 million
, or
27.7%
,
lower
in the
first quarter
of
2013
compared with
2012
. The decrease in average loan pool volume was due to loan pay downs and charge-offs, and will continue as the Company exits this line of business.
The net “all-in” yield on loan pool participations was
11.97%
for the
first quarter
of
2013
, up from
3.61%
for the same period of
2012
. The net yield was higher in the
first quarter
of
2013
than for the
first quarter
of
2012
primarily due to the payoff of several loans in the portfolio at a value greater than their net book value, a trend we do not expect to continue in the future, despite recent results, as the percentage of creditworthy borrowers in the portfolio decreases.
Interest income on investment securities
on a tax-equivalent basis totaled
$4.6 million
in the
first three months
of
2013
compared with
$4.5 million
for the same period of
2012
. The average balance of investments in the
first quarter
of
2013
was
$606.7 million
compared with
$548.0 million
in the
first quarter
of
2012
,
an increase
of
$58.7 million
, or
10.7%
. The increase in average balance resulted from our investment in securities of a portion of the excess liquidity provided by a combination of decreasing cash and cash equivalents and loan pool balances. The tax-equivalent yield on our investment portfolio in the
first
34
Table of Contents
quarter
of
2013
decreased
to
3.07%
from
3.32%
in the comparable period of
2012
, reflecting reinvestment of maturing securities and purchases of new securities at lower market interest rates.
Interest expense on deposits
was
$0.7 million
, or
20.1%
,
lower
in the
first three months
of
2013
compared with the same period in
2012
, mainly due to the decrease in interest rates being paid during
2013
. The weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was
0.87%
in the
first quarter
of
2013
compared with
1.13%
in the
first quarter
of
2012
. This decline reflects the overall reduction in interest rates on deposits throughout the markets in which we operate, and the gradual downward repricing of time deposits as higher rate certificates mature. Average interest-bearing deposits for the
first three months
of
2013
increased
$49.1 million
, or
4.3%
, compared with the same period in
2012
.
Interest expense on borrowed funds
wa
s
$0.2 million
lower
in the
first three months
of
2013
compared with the same period in
2012
. Interest on borrowed funds totaled
$0.8 million
for the
first quarter
of
2013
. Average borrowed funds for the
first quarter
of
2013
were
$5.4 million
lower
compared with the same period in
2012
. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the level of FHLB borrowings, somewhat offset by an increase in federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements. The weighted average rate on borrowed funds
decreased
to
1.65%
for the
first quarter
of
2013
compared wi
th
2.02%
f
or the
first quarter
of
2012
, reflecting the replacement of maturing higher-rate borrowings with those in the current lower-rate environment.
Provision for Loan Losses
We recorded a provision for loan losses of
$0.2 million
in the
first quarter
of
2013
compared with a
$0.6 million
provision in the
first quarter
of
2012
, a decrease of
$0.4 million
, or
65.5%
. Net loans recovered in the
first quarter
of
2013
totaled
$0.1 million
compared with net loans charged off of
$0.6 million
i
n the
first quarter
of
2012
. The decreased provision reflects management’s belief that the regional economy has generally stablized and is showing signs of renewed growth, and the effects of a significant loan recovery during the first quarter of 2013. We believe that the allowance for loan losses was appropriate based on the inherent risk in the portfolio as of
March 31, 2013
; however, there is no assurance losses will not exceed the allowance and any growth in the loan portfolio, and the uncertainty of the general economy may require that management continue to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and make additional provisions in future periods as deemed necessary.
Sensitive assets include nonaccrual loans, loans on the Bank's watch loan reports and other loans identified as having higher potential for loss. We review sensitive assets on at least a quarterly basis for changes in the customers' ability to pay and changes in the valuation of underlying collateral in order to estimate probable losses. We also periodically review a watch loan list which is comprised of loans that have been restructured or involve customers in industries which have been adversely affected by market conditions. The majority of these loans are being repaid in conformance with their contracts.

Total noninterest income
decreased
$0.2 million
for the
first quarter
of
2013
compared with the same period for
2012
. The decrease in
2013
is primarily due to the decreased net gains on the sale or call of securities available for sale, the net loss on sale of premises and equipment, and a decrease in other service charges, commissions and fees between the comparative periods. Other service charges, commissions and fees
decreased
by
$0.1 million
, or
19.4%
, to
$0.6 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2013
, compared to
$0.7 million
for the same period last year, due to a general decline in fee levels. Net gains on the sale or call of securities available for sale for the
first quarter
of
2013
were
$0.1 million
, compared to
$0.3 million
for the same period of
2012
. The gain was attributable to the gain on sale of a bond due to recent credit downgrades. Net gains on the sale of premises
35
Table of Contents
and equipment decreased by
$0.2 million
, to a small net loss, as the
first quarter
of
2012
included a gain on the sale of vacant property originally acquired for a potential bank branch location.
These decreases were partially offset by an increase in mortgage origination and loan servicing fees of
$0.3 million
, or
36.1%
, to
$1.0 million
for the
three months
ended
March 31, 2013
, compared to
$0.8 million
for the same period last year. Going forward we expect that maintaining this level of fee income will be more dependent on the volume of new loan originations and less on refinance transactions, as many creditworthy borrowers have already taken advantage of the current historically low market rates. Trust, investment, and insurance fees
increased
$0.1 million
, or
7.7%
, primarily due to increased sales efforts in these business areas. Management's strategic goal is for noninterest income to constitute 30% of total revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income) over time. For the
three months
ended
March 31, 2013
, noninterest income comprised
22.1%
of total revenues, compared with
22.0%
for the same period in
2012
. While our emphasis on trust, investment, and insurance fees has shown some improvement in this category of noninterest income, the effects of decreased service charges and fees on deposit accounts, and other service charges, commissions and fees, has significantly inhibited material improvement. Management continues to evaluate options for increasing noninterest income.

compared with
$10.8 million
for the
first quarter
of
2012
,
an increase
of
$0.2 million
, or
1.8%
. The primary reason for the increase in noninterest expense was an increase in salaries and employee benefits of
$0.3 million
, or
5.4%
, primarily due to annual salary increases for employees that were effective at the beginning of 2013, and increased benefit costs.With the exception of a small increase in occupancy expense, all other noninterest expense categories experienced a decline for the
first
quarter of
2013
, compared with the
first
quarter of
2012
.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate, or income taxes divided by income before taxes, was
27.2%
for the
first quarter
of
2013
, and
26.9%
for the same period of
2012
. Income tax expense increased to
$1.8 million
in the
first quarter
of
2013
compared with
$1.6 million
for the same period of
2012
. Income tax expense and the effective tax rate increased due to increased taxable income.
FDIC Assessments
On November 12, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule that required insured depository institutions to prepay on December 30, 2009, their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012. On December 31, 2009, the Bank paid the FDIC $9.2 million in prepaid assessments. The FDIC determined each institution's prepaid assessment based on the institution's: (i) actual September 30, 2009 assessment base, increased quarterly by a five percent annual growth rate through the fourth quarter of 2012; and (ii) total base assessment rate in effect on September 30, 2009, increased by an annualized three basis points beginning in 2011. The FDIC began to offset prepaid assessments on March 31, 2010, representing payment of the regular quarterly risk-based deposit insurance assessment for the fourth quarter of 2009. On March 28, 2013 the FDIC announced that the balance of any prepaid assessments would be returned to institutions by June 30, 2013. As of
March 31, 2013
,
$3.7 million
of the Bank's prepaid assessments balance remained, and the Company expects to receive substantially all of this balance back.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our total assets remained steady at
$1.79 billion
as of
March 31, 2013
, the same as at
December 31, 2012
. Increased balances in both available for sale securities and loans were offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and loan pool participations. Deposit balances and repurchase agreements both decreased, while FHLB borrowings and federal funds purchased increased. Total deposits at
March 31, 2013
were
$1.37 billion
compared with
$1.40 billion
at
December 31, 2012
, down
$26.1 million
,
36
Table of Contents
or
1.9%
, primarily due to decreases in commercial and business accounts, mainly in commercial NOW and money market accounts. FHLB borrowings increased
$32.0 million
from
$120.1 million
at
December 31, 2012
, to
$152.1 million
at
March 31, 2013
, while repurchase agreements were
$54.3 million
at
March 31, 2013
, a decrease of
$14.5 million
, from
$68.8 million
at
December 31, 2012
.
Investment Securities
Investment securities available for sale totaled
$572.5 million
as of
March 31, 2013
. This was an increase
of
$14.9 million
, or
2.7%
,
from
December 31, 2012
. The increase was primarily due to investment
maturities or calls d
uring the period of
$20.3 million
being more than offset by security
purchases of
$37.2 million
d
uring the period. Due to the increased uncertainty that Basel III capital requirements will be adopted as originally proposed, management decided that placing new investment security purchases in the available for sale classification was the most prudent course of action. Investment securities classified as held to maturity were relatively unchanged at
$32.5 million
as of
March 31, 2013
. The investment portfolio consists mainly of U.S. government agency securities (
11.4%
), mortgage-backed securities (
42.9%
), and obligations of states and political subdivisions (
39.7%
).
As of
March 31, 2013
, we owned collateralized debt obligations with an amortized cost of
$1.8 million
that were backed by pools of trust preferred securities issued by various commercial banks (approximately
80%) and insurance companies (approximately 20%
). No real estate holdings secure these debt securities. We continue to monitor the values of these debt securities for purposes of determining other-than-temporary impairment in future periods given the instability in the financial markets, and continue to obtain updated cash flow analysis as required. See Note 4 “Investment Securities” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information related to investment securities.

Total bank loans (excluding loan pool participations and loans held for sale) increased by
$6.5 million
, to
$1.04 billion
as of
March 31, 2013
as compared to
December 31, 2012
. As of
March 31, 2013
, our bank loan (excluding loan pool participations) to deposit ratio was
75.8%
compared with a year-end
2012
bank loan to deposit ratio of
74.0%
.
We anticipate that the loan to deposit ratio will remain relatively stable in future periods, with loans showing overall measured growth and deposits remaining steady or increasing.
We have minimal direct exposure to subprime mortgages in our loan portfolio. Our loan policy provides a guideline that real estate mortgage borrowers have a Beacon score of
640 or
greater. Exceptions to this guideline have been noted but the overall exposure is deemed minimal by management. Mortgages we originate and sell on the secondary market are typically underwritten according to the guidelines of secondary market investors. These mortgages are sold on a non-recourse basis. See Note 5 “Loans Receivable and the Allowance for Loan Losses” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information related to loans.

Loan Pool Participations
As of
March 31, 2013
, we had loan pool participations, net, totaling
$32.4 million
,
down from
$35.7 million
at
December 31, 2012
. Loan pool participations are participation interests in performing, subperforming and nonperforming loans that have been purchased from various non-affiliated banking organizations. The Company entered into this business upon consummation of its merger with the Former MidWest
One
in March 2008. As previously announced, the Company has decided to exit this line of business as current balances pay down. The loan pool investment balances shown as an asset on our consolidated balance sheets represent the discounted purchase cost of the loan pool participations. As of
March 31, 2013
, the categories of loans by collateral type in the loan pool participations were commercial real estate -
66%
, commercial loans -
5%
, single-family residential real estate -
13%
and other loans -
16%
. We have minimal exposure in the loan pool participations to consumer real estate subprime credit or to construction and real estate development loans. See Note 5 “Loans Receivable and the Allowance for Loan Losses” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information related to loan pool participations.
Our overall cost basis in the loan pool participations represents a discount from the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loans underlying the pools. For example, as of
March 31, 2013
, such cost basis was
$34.5 million
, while the contractual outstanding principal amount of the underlying loans as of such date was approximately
$93.2 million
, resulting in an investment basis of
37.0%
of the "face amount" of the underlying loans. Th
e discounted cost basis inherently reflects the assessed collectability of the underlying loans. We do not include any amounts related to the loan pool participations in our totals of nonperforming loans.
As of
March 31, 2013
, loans in the southeast region of the United States represented approximately
44%
of the total. The northeast was the next largest area with
32%
, the central region with
20%
, the southwest region with
3%
and the northwest represented a minimal amount of the portfolio at
1%
. The highest concentration of assets is in Florida at approximately
20%
of the basis total, with the next highest state level being Ohio at
11%
, then New Jersey at approximately
9%
. As of
March 31, 2013
, approximately
66%
of the loans were contractually current or less than 90 days past due, while
34%
were contractually past due 90 days or more. It should be noted that many of the loans were acquired in a contractually past due status, which is reflected in the discounted purchase price of the loans. Performance status is monitored on a monthly basis. The
34%
contractually past due includes loans in litigation and foreclosed property. As of
March 31, 2013
, loans in litigation totaled approximately
$3.8 million
, while foreclosed property was approximately
$5.2 million
.

, from the
$22.4 million
at
December 31, 2012
. Based on historical experience, management anticipates that many of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed upon maturity. Maintaining competitive market interest rates will facilitate our retention of certificates of deposit. Interest-bearing checking deposits were
$590.9 million
at
March 31, 2013
, an increase o
f
$8.6 million
, or
1.5%
, from
$582.3 million

. The increased balances in non-certificate deposit accounts were primarily in public funds and consumer accounts. Included in interest-bearing checking deposits at
March 31, 2013
was
$14.7 million
of brokered deposits in the Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) program, a decrease of
$6.0 million
, or
29.1%
, from the
$20.8 million
at
December 31, 2012
. The decrease during the period was
38
Table of Contents
primarily due to the reduction in funds held for one depositor on a short term basis. We expect gradual growth in ICS balances as we market the account type to a wider range of customers. Approxim
ately
84.5%
of our total deposits are considered “core” deposits.
Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings
FHLB borrowings totaled
$152.1 million
as of
March 31, 2013
compared with
$120.1 million
as of
December 31, 2012
. We utilize FHLB borrowings as a supplement to customer deposits to fund earning assets and to assist in managing interest rate risk.
Long-term Debt
Long-term debt in the form of junior subordinated debentures that have been issued to a statutory trust that issued trust preferred securities was
$15.5 million
as of
March 31, 2013
, unchanged from
December 31, 2012
. These junior subordinated debentures were assumed by us from Former MidWest
One
in the merger. Former MidWest
One
had issued these junior subordinated debentures on September 20, 2007, to MidWest
One
Capital Trust II. The junior subordinated debentures supporting the trust preferred securities have a maturity date of
December 15, 2042
, and do not require any principal amortization. They became callable on
December 15, 2012
at par, and are callable, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date thereafter, at the Company’s option. The interest rate was fixed on
$7.8 million
of the debt until
December 15, 2012
, at an interest rate of
6.48%
, after which the rate became variable, as is the case with the remaining balance of the debt. The variable rate is based on the
three month LIBOR
rate plus
1.59%
with interest payable quarterly. At
March 31, 2013
, the interest rate was at
1.87%
.

Our nonperforming assets totaled

, a decrease of
$0.1 million
compared to
December 31, 2012
. The balance of other real estate owned at
March 31, 2013
was
$3.0 million
, down from
$3.3 million
at year-end
2012
.All of the other real estate property was acquired through foreclosures and we are actively working to sell all properties held as of
March 31, 2013
. Other real estate is carried at appraised value less estimated cost of disposal at date of acquisition. Additional discounts could be required to market and sell the properties, resulting in a write down through expense. Nonperforming loans totaled
$10.8 million
(
1.03%
of total bank loans) as of
March 31, 2013
, compared to
$10.7 million
(
1.03%
of total bank loans) as of
December 31, 2012
. See Note 5 “Loans Receivable and the Allowance for Loan Losses” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information related to nonperforming assets.
At March 31, 2013
, nonperforming loans consisted of
$2.4 million
in nonaccrual loans,
$7.7 million
in troubled debt restructures and
$0.7 million
in loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing. This compares with
$2.9 million
,
$7.1 million
and
$0.6 million
, respectively, as of
December 31, 2012
. Nonaccrual loans decreased
$0.6 million
, or
18.8%
, at
March 31, 2013
compared to
December 31, 2012
. The decrease in nonaccrual loans was primarily due to normal collection activity. The Company experienced a
$0.6 million
, or
7.9%
, increase in restructured loans, from
December 31, 2012
to
March 31, 2013
, primarily resulting from the addition of five loans (one commercial and industrial, two commercial real estate, and two residential real estate), along with two previously restructured loans (one commercial and one residential real estate) that were classified as TDRs in the quarter due to payment default. During the same period, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest were relatively unchanged from
December 31, 2012
to
March 31, 2013
. Additionally, loans past-due 30 to 89 days (not included in the nonperforming loan totals) were
$6.5 million
as of
March 31, 2013
compared with
$6.1 million
as of
December 31, 2012
, an increase of
$0.4 million
or
5.3%
.
Loan Review and Classification Process for Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial, and Commercial Real Estate Loans:
The Company maintains a loan review and classification process which involves multiple officers of the Company and is designed to assess the general quality of credit underwriting and to promote early identification of potential problem loans. All commercial and agricultural loan officers are charged with the responsibility of risk rating all loans in their portfolios and updating the ratings, positively or negatively, on an ongoing basis as conditions warrant. A monthly loan officer validation worksheet documents this process. Risk ratings are selected from an 8-point scale with ratings as follows: ratings 1- 4 Satisfactory (pass), rating 5 Watch (potential weakness), rating 6 Substandard (well-defined weakness), rating 7 Doubtful, and rating 8 Loss.
When a loan officer originates a new loan, based upon proper loan authorization, he or she documents the credit file with an offering sheet summary, supplemental underwriting analysis, relevant financial information and collateral evaluations. All of this information is used in the determination of the initial loan risk rating. The Company's loan review department undertakes independent credit reviews of relationships based on either criteria established by loan policy, risk-focused sampling, or random sampling. Loan policy requires the top 50 lending relationships by total exposure be reviewed no less than annually as well as all classified and Watch rated credits over $250,000. The individual loan reviews consider such items as: loan type; nature, type and estimated value of collateral; borrower and/or guarantor estimated financial strength; most recently available financial information;
40
Table of Contents
related loans and total borrower exposure; and current/anticipated performance of the loan. The results of such reviews are presented to executive management.
Through the review of delinquency reports, updated financial statements or other relevant information in the normal course of business, the lending officer and/or loan review personnel may determine that a loan relationship has weakened to the point that a criticized (loan grade 5) or classified (loan grade 6 through 8) status is warranted. When a loan relationship with total related exposure of $1.0 million or greater is adversely graded (5 or above), or is classified as a troubled debt restructure (regardless of size), the lending officer is then charged with preparing a Loan Strategy Summary worksheet that outlines the background of the credit problem, current repayment status of the loans, current collateral evaluation and a workout plan of action. This plan may include goals to improve the credit rating, assisting the borrower in moving the loans to another institution and/or collateral liquidation. All such reports are first presented to regional management and then to the board of directors by the Executive Vice President, Chief Credit Officer (or a designee).
Depending upon the individual facts and circumstances and the result of the Classified/Watch review process, loan officers and/or loan review personnel may categorize the loan relationship as impaired. Once that determination has occurred, the loan officer, in conjunction with regional management, will complete an evaluation of the collateral (for collateral-dependent loans) based upon appraisals on file adjusting for current market conditions and other local factors that may affect collateral value. Loan review personnel may also complete an independent impairment analysis when deemed necessary. These judgmental evaluations may produce an initial specific allowance for placement in the Company's allowance for loan & lease losses calculation. As soon as practical, updated appraisals on the collateral backing that impaired loan relationship are ordered. When the updated appraisals are received, regional management, with assistance from the loan review department, reviews the appraisal and updates the specific allowance analysis for each loan relationship accordingly. The board of directors on a quarterly basis reviews the Classified/Watch reports including changes in credit grades of 5 or higher as well as all impaired loans, the related allowances and OREO.
In general, once the specific allowance has been finalized, regional and executive management will consider a charge-off prior to the calendar quarter-end in which that reserve calculation is finalized.
The review process also provides for the upgrade of loans that show improvement since the last review.
Restructured Loans
We restructure loans for our customers who appear to be able to meet the terms of their loan over the long term, but who may be unable to meet the terms of the loan in the near term due to individual circumstances. We consider the customer's past performance, previous and current credit history, the individual circumstances surrounding the current difficulties and their plan to meet the terms of the loan in the future prior to restructuring the terms of the loan. All of the following factors are indicators that the Bank has granted a concession (one or multiple items may be present):
•
The borrower receives a reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt.
•
The borrower receives an extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market interest rate for new debt with similar risk characteristics.
•
The borrower receives a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement.
•
The borrower receives a deferral of required payments (principal and/or interest).
•
The borrower receives a reduction of the accrued interest.
Generally, loans are restructured through short-term interest rate relief, short-term principal payment relief or short-term principal and interest payment relief. Once a restructured loan has gone 90 days or more past due or is placed on nonaccrual status, it is included in the 90+ day past due or nonaccrual totals in the previous table.
During the
three months
ended
March 31, 2013
, the Company restructured
five
loans by granting concessions to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. A commercial and industrial loan with a balance of $0.2 million and two commercial real estate loans totaling $0.2 million were granted amortization or maturity concessions, while a residential first lien and a residential junior lien totaling $0.1 million were both granted interest rate concessions. Two previously restructured loans (a commercial and industrial loan and a residential first lien totaling $0.3 million) were classified as TDRs in the quarter due to payment defaults.

We consider all TDRs, regardless of whether they are performing in accordance with the modified terms, to be impaired loans when determining our allowance for loan losses. A summary of restructured loans as of

Allowance for Loan Losses
Our allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) as of
March 31, 2013
was
$16.3 million
, which was
1.56%
of total bank loans (excluding loan pool participations) as of that date. This compares with an ALLL of
$16.0 million
as of
December 31, 2012
, which was
1.54%
of total bank loans as of that date. Gross charge-offs for the
first three months
of
2013
totaled
$0.4 million
, while recoveries of previously charged-off loans totaled
$0.5 million
. Annualized net loan recoveries to average bank loans for the first
three months
of
2013
was
0.04%
compared to net loan charge offs
0.21%
for the year ended
December 31, 2012
. As of
March 31, 2013
, the ALLL was
151.1%
of nonperforming loans compared with
149.8%
as of
December 31, 2012
. Based on the inherent risk in the loan portfolio, we believe that as of
March 31, 2013
, the ALLL was adequate; however, there is no assurance losses will not exceed the allowance and any growth in the loan portfolio and the uncertainty of the general economy may require that management continue to evaluate the adequacy of the ALLL and make additional provisions in future periods as deemed necessary. See Note 5 “Loans Receivables and the Allowance for Loan Losses” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the allowance for loan losses.
There were no changes to our ALLL calculation during the
first three months
of
2013
. Classified and impaired loans are reviewed per the requirements of FASB ASC Topics 310.
We currently track the loan to value ("LTV") ratio of loans in our portfolio, and those loans in excess of internal and supervisory guidelines are presented to the Bank's board of directors on a quarterly basis. At
March 31, 2013
, there were seven owner-occupied 1-4 family loans with a LTV of 100% or greater. In addition, there were 38 home equity loans without credit enhancement that had LTV of 100% or greater. We have the first lien on 18 of these equity loans and other financial institutions have the first lien on the remaining 20.
We review all impaired and nonperforming loans individually on a quarterly basis to determine their level of impairment due to collateral deficiency or insufficient cash-flow based on a discounted cash-flow analysis. At
March 31, 2013
, reported troubled debt restructurings were not a material portion of the loan portfolio. We review loans 90+ days past due that are still accruing interest no less than quarterly to determine if there is a strong reason that the credit should not be placed on non-accrual.
Capital Resources
Total shareholders' equity was
9.90%
of total assets as of
March 31, 2013
and was
9.70%
as of
December 31, 2012
. Tangible equity to tangible assets was
9.43%
as of
March 31, 2013
and
9.22%
as of
December 31, 2012
. Our Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was
13.08%
as of
March 31, 2013
and was
12.78%
as of
December 31, 2012
. Risk-based capital guidelines require the classification of assets and some off-balance-sheet items in terms of credit-risk exposure and the measuring of capital as a percentage of the risk-adjusted asset totals. We believe that, as of
March 31, 2013
, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which we were subject. As of that date, the Bank was “well capitalized” under regulatory prompt corrective action provisions.
Basel III is currently the subject of notices of proposed rulemakings released in June of 2012 by the respective U.S. federal banking agencies. The comment period for these notices of proposed rulemakings ended on October 22, 2012, but final regulations have not yet been released. Basel III was intended to be implemented beginning January 1, 2013 and to be fully-phased in on a global basis on January 1, 2019. However, on November 9, 2012, the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies announced that the implementation of the proposed rules to effect Basel III in the United States was indefinitely delayed. Basel III would require capital to be held in the form of tangible common equity, generally increase the required capital ratios, phase out certain kinds of intangibles treated as capital and certain types of instruments, like trust preferred securities, and change the risk weightings of assets used to determine required capital ratios.

Liquidity
Liquidity management involves meeting the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers. We conduct liquidity management on both a daily and long-term basis, and adjust our investments in liquid assets based on expected loan demand, projected loan maturities and payments, estimated cash flows from the loan pool participations, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and the objectives of our asset/liability management program. We had liquid assets (cash and cash equivalen
ts) of
$21.9 million
as of
March 31, 2013
, compared wit
h
$47.2 million
as of
December 31, 2012
. Investment securities classified as available for sale, totaling
$572.5 million
and
$557.5 million
as of
March 31, 2013
and
December 31, 2012
, respectively, could be sold to meet liquidity needs if necessary. Additionally, our bank subsidiary maintains unsecured lines of credit with several correspondent banks and secured lines with the Federal Reserve Bank discount window and the FHLB that would allow it to borrow funds on a short-term basis, if necessary. Management believes that the Company had sufficient liquidity as of
March 31, 2013
to meet the needs of borrowers and depositors.
43
Table of Contents
Our principal sources of funds were FHLB borrowings, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities, principal repayments on loan pool participations, and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan amortization and maturing interest-bearing deposits are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by economic conditions, the general level of interest rates, and competition. We utilize particular sources of funds based on comparative costs and availability. This includes fixed-rate FHLB borrowings that can generally be obtained at a more favorable cost than deposits of comparable maturity. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to maintain a steady deposit base but from time to time may decide, as we have done in the past, not to pay rates on deposits as high as our competition.
As of
March 31, 2013
, we had
$15.5 million
of long-term debt outstanding. This amount represents indebtedness payable under junior subordinated debentures issued to a subsidiary trust that issued trust preferred securities in a pooled offering. The junior subordinated debentures were issued with a 35-year term. The interest rate on the debt is variable rate, based on the
three month LIBOR
rate plus
1.59%
with interest payable quarterly. At
March 31, 2013
, the interest rate was at
1.87%
.
Inflation
The effects of price changes and inflation can vary substantially for most financial institutions. While management believes that inflation affects the growth of total assets, it is difficult to assess the overall impact. Management believes this to be the case due to the fact that generally neither the timing nor the magnitude of the inflationary changes in the consumer price index (“CPI”) coincides with changes in interest rates. The price of one or more of the components of the CPI may fluctuate considerably and thereby influence the overall CPI without having a corresponding effect on interest rates or upon the cost of those goods and services normally purchased by us. In years of high inflation and high interest rates, intermediate and long-term interest rates tend to increase, thereby adversely impacting the market values of investment securities, mortgage loans and other long-term fixed rate loans held by financial institutions. In addition, higher short-term interest rates caused by inflation tend to increase financial institutions' cost of funds. In other years, the reverse situation may occur.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers, which include commitments to extend credit, commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers at predetermined interest rates, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contracts. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. As of
March 31, 2013
, outstanding commitments to extend credit totaled approximately
$255.5 million
. We have established a reserve of
$0.2 million
, which represents our estimate of probable losses as a result of these transactions. This reserve is not part of our allowance for loan losses. Commitments under standby and performance letters of credit outstanding aggregated
$4.3 million
as of
March 31, 2013
. We do not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions.
Residential mortgage loans sold to others are predominantly conventional residential first lien mortgages originated under our usual underwriting procedures, and are most often sold on a nonrecourse basis. At
March 31, 2013
, there were approximately
$9.6 million
of mandatory commitments with investors to sell not yet originated residential mortgage loans. We do not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
In general, market risk is the risk of change in asset values due to movements in underlying market rates and prices. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and capital arising from movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the Company as other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of our business activities.
In addition to interest rate risk, the recent economic environment, has made liquidity risk (namely, funding liquidity risk) a more prevalent concern among financial institutions. In general, liquidity risk is the risk of being unable to fund obligations to creditors (including, in the case of banks, obligations to depositors) as such obligations become due and/or fund the acquisition of assets.
44
Table of Contents
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity refers to our ability to fund operations, to meet depositor withdrawals, to provide for our customers' credit needs, and to meet maturing obligations and existing commitments. Our liquidity principally depends on cash flows from operating activities, investment in and maturity of assets, changes in balances of deposits and borrowings, and our ability to borrow funds.
Net cash inflows from operating activities were
$2.9 million
in the first
three months
of
2013
, compared with
$8.4 million
in the first
three months
of
2012
. Net income before depreciation, amortization, and accretion was the primary contributor for the first
three months
of
2013
.
Net cash outflows from investing activities were
$20.1 million
in the
first quarter
of
2013
, compared to net cash outflows of
$14.0 million
in the comparable
three
month period of
2012
. In the first
three
months of
2013
, loans made to customers, net of collections, accounted for net outflows of
$6.5 million
, while investment securities transactions resulted in net cash outflows of
$16.8 million
. Cash inflows from loan pool participations were
$3.3 million
during the first
three
months of
2013
compared to a
$4.1 million
inflow during the same period of
2012
.
Net cash used in financing activities in the
first three months
of
2013
was
$8.1 million
, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of
$25.0 million
for the same period of
2012
. The largest financing cash outflows during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2013
were the
$26.1 million
net decrease in deposits and a
$14.5 million
net decrease in repurchase agreements. The largest cash inflows from financing activities in the first
three months
of
2013
consisted of the net increase of
$32.0 million
in FHLB borrowings and an
$1.6 million
increase in Federal Funds purchased.
To further mitigate liquidity risk, the Bank has several sources of liquidity in place to maximize funding availability and increase the diversification of funding sources. The criteria for evaluating the use of these sources include: volume concentration (percentage of liabilities), cost, volatility, and the fit with the current management plan. These acceptable sources of liquidity include:
•
Fed Funds Lines
•
FHLB Borrowings
•
Brokered Deposits
•
Brokered Repurchase Agreements
•
Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window
Fed Funds Lines:
Routine liquidity requirements are met by fluctuations in the Bank's federal funds position. The principal function of these funds is to maintain short-term liquidity. Unsecured federal funds purchased lines are viewed as a volatile liability and are not used as a long-term funding solution, especially when used to fund long-term assets. Multiple correspondent relationships are preferable and Fed Funds sold exposure to any one customer is continuously monitored. The current federal funds purchased limit is 10% of total assets, or the amount of established federal funds lines, whichever is smaller. Currently, the Bank has unsecured federal fund lines totaling
$55.0 million
, which are tested semi-annually to ensure availability.
FHLB Borrowings:
FHLB borrowings provide both a source of liquidity and long-term funding for the Bank. Use of this type of funding is coordinated with both the strategic balance sheet growth projections and the current and future interest rate risk profile of the Bank. Factors that are taken into account when contemplating use of FHLB borrowings are the effective interest rate, the collateral requirements, community investment program credits, and the implications and cost of having to purchase incremental FHLB stock. As of
March 31, 2013
, the Bank had
$234.5 million
of collateral pledged to the FHLB and
$152.1 million
in outstanding borrowings, leaving
$77.1 million
available for liquidity needs, based on collateral capacity. These borrowings are secured by various real estate loans (residential, commercial and agricultural).
Brokered Deposits:
The Bank has brokered CD lines/deposit relationships available to help diversify its various funding sources. Brokered deposits offer several benefits relative to other funding sources, such as: maturity structures which cannot be duplicated in the current deposit market, deposit gathering which does not cannibalize the existing deposit base, the unsecured nature of these liabilities, and the ability to quickly generate funds. However, brokered deposits are often viewed as a volatile liability by banking regulators and market participants. This viewpoint, and the desire to not develop a large funding concentration in any one area, is reflected in an internal policy stating that the Bank limit the use of brokered deposits as a funding source to no more than 10% of total liabilities. Board approval is required to exceed these limits. The Bank will also have to maintain a “well capitalized” standing
45
Table of Contents
to access brokered deposits, as an “adequately capitalized" rating would require an FDIC waiver to do so, and an “undercapitalized” rating would prohibit the Bank from using brokered deposits altogether.
Brokered Repurchase Agreements:
Brokered repurchase agreements may be established with approved brokerage firms and banks. Repurchase agreements create rollover risk (the risk that a broker will discontinue the relationship due to market factors) and are not used as a long-term funding solution, especially when used to fund long-term assets. Collateral requirements and availability are evaluated and monitored. The current policy limit for brokered repurchase agreements is 10% of total assets. There were no outstanding brokered repurchase agreements at
March 31, 2013
.
Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window:
The Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window is another source of liquidity, particularly during difficult economic times. The Bank has a borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago limited only by the amount of municipal securities pledged against the line. As of
March 31, 2013
, the Bank has municipal securities with an approximate market value of
$13.2 million
pledged for liquidity purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
The nature of the banking business, which involves paying interest on deposits at varying rates and terms and charging interest on loans at other rates and terms, creates interest rate risk. As a result, net interest margin and earnings and the market value of assets and liabilities are subject to fluctuations arising from the movement of interest rates. We manage several forms of interest rate risk, including asset/liability mismatch, basis risk and prepayment risk. A key management objective is to maintain a risk profile in which variations in net interest income stay within the limits and guidelines of the Bank's Asset/Liability Management Policy.
Like most financial institutions, our net income can be significantly influenced by a variety of external factors, including: overall economic conditions, policies and actions of regulatory authorities, the amounts of and rates at which assets and liabilities reprice, variances in prepayment of loans and securities other than those that are assumed, early withdrawal of deposits, exercise of call options on borrowings or securities, competition, a general rise or decline in interest rates, changes in the slope of the yield-curve, changes in historical relationships between indices (such as LIBOR and prime), and balance sheet growth or contraction. Our asset and liability committee ("ALCO") seeks to manage interest rate risk under a variety of rate environments by structuring our balance sheet and off-balance-sheet positions in such a way that changes in interest rates do not have a large negative impact. The risk is monitored and managed within approved policy limits.
We use a third-party service to model and measure our exposure to potential interest rate changes. For various assumed hypothetical changes in market interest rates, numerous other assumptions are made, such as prepayment speeds on loans and securities backed by mortgages, the slope of the Treasury yield curve, the rates and volumes of our deposits, and the rates and volumes of our loans. This analysis measures the estimated change in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. The following table presents our projected changes in net interest income for the various interest rate shock levels at
March 31, 2013
and
December 31, 2012
.

As shown above, at
March 31, 2013
, the effect of an immediate and sustained 200 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease our net interest income by approximately
$1.2 million
. The effect of an immediate and sustained 200 basis point decrease in rates would increase our net interest income by approximately
$0.3 million
. In a rising rate environment, our interest-bearing liabilities would reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets, thus reducing net interest income. Conversely, a decrease in interest rates would result in an increase in net interest income as interest-bearing liabilities would generally decline more rapidly than interest-earning assets. In the current low interest rate environment, model results of a 200 basis point drop in interest rates
46
Table of Contents
are of questionable value as many interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets cannot re-price significantly lower than current levels. As part of a strategy to mitigate net interest margin compression in a low interest rate environment, management has incorporated interest rate floors on most newly originated floating rate loans. While incorporating interest rate floors on loans has been successful in maintaining our net interest margin in the current low rate environment, the coupon rates on these loans will lag when interest rates rise. These loans have floor rates that are between zero and 2.0% above the fully indexed rate. Therefore, interest rates must rise up to 2.0% before some of these loans would experience an increase in the coupon rate.
Computations of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes were based on numerous assumptions. Actual values may differ from those projections set forth above. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions we could have undertaken in response to changes in interest rates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under supervision and with the participation of certain members of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in SEC Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of
March 31, 2013
. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer believe that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report with respect to timely communication to them and other members of management responsible for preparing periodic reports and material information required to be disclosed in this report as it relates to the Company and our consolidated subsidiaries.
The effectiveness of our or any system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, and evaluating the controls and procedures, the assumptions used in identifying the likelihood of future events, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. As a result, there can be no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors or fraud or ensure that all material information will be made known to appropriate management in a timely fashion. By their nature, our or any system of disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On January 15, 2013, our Board of Directors announced the renewal of the Company's share repurchase program, extending the expiration of the program to December 31, 2014 and increasing the remaining amount of authorized repurchases under the program to $5.0 million from the approximately $2.4 million of authorized repurchases that had previously remained. Pursuant to the program, we may continue to repurchase shares from time to time in the open market, and the method, timing and amounts of repurchase will be solely in the discretion of the Company's management. The repurchase program does not require us to acquire a specific number of shares. Therefore, the amount of shares repurchased pursuant to the program will depend on several factors, including market conditions, capital and liquidity requirements, and alternative uses for cash available. There were no repurchases of stock during the quarter ended
March 31, 2013
.
Subsequent to
March 31, 2013
and through
May 6, 2013
we repurchased
40,713
shares of Common Stock for a total cost of
$1.0 million
inclusive of transaction costs, leaving
$4.0 million
remaining available under the program.
