NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2012

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation:  The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, including QCR Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2012.  Accordingly, footnote disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements, have been omitted.

The financial information of the Company included herein has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.  Any differences appearing between the numbers presented in financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis are due to rounding.  The results of the interim period ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries which include three state-chartered commercial banks:  Quad City Bank & Trust Company (“QCBT”), Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust Company (“CRBT”), and Rockford Bank & Trust Company (“RB&T”).  The Company also engages in direct financing lease contracts through its now wholly-owned equity investment by QCBT in m2 Lease Funds, LLC (“m2 Lease Funds”).  QCBT previously owned 80% of m2 Lease Funds.  In August 2012, QCBT entered into an amendment to the operating agreement of m2 Lease Funds and purchased the 20% noncontrolling interest.  See Note 8 for a more detailed discussion of this transaction.  The Company engages in real estate holdings through its 91% equity investment in Velie Plantation Holding Company, LLC (“VPHC”).  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recent accounting developments:  In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet, and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement.  ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.  Adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications:  Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified, with no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity, to conform with the current period presentation.

At September 30, 2012, the investment portfolio included 360 securities.  Of this number, 13 securities had current unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of less than 1% from the amortized cost basis.  Of these 13, only one had unrealized losses for twelve months or more.  All of the debt securities in unrealized loss positions are considered acceptable credit risks.  Based upon an evaluation of the available evidence, including the recent changes in market rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these debt securities are temporary.  In addition, the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities before their anticipated recovery.  At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, equity securities represented less than 1% of the total portfolio.

The Company did not recognize other-than-temporary impairment on any debt securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

The Company did not recognize other-than-temporary impairment on any equity securities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company’s evaluation determined that one privately held equity security experienced a decline in fair value that was other-than-temporary.  As a result, the Company wrote down the value of this security and recognized a loss in the amount of $62,400.  The Company did not recognize other-than-temporary impairment on any of its equity securities during the first quarter of 2012.

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company’s evaluation determined that two privately held equity securities experienced declines in fair value that were other-than-temporary.  As a result, the Company wrote down the value of these securities and recognized losses in the amount of $118,847.  The Company did not recognize other-than-temporary impairment on any of its equity securities during the first quarter of 2011.

Management performs an evaluation of the estimated unguaranteed residual values of leased assets on an annual basis, at a minimum.  The evaluation consists of discussions with reputable and current vendors and management’s expertise and understanding of the current states of particular industries to determine informal valuations of the equipment.  As necessary and where available, management will utilize valuations by independent appraisers.  The large majority of leases with residual values contain a lease options rider which requires the lessee to pay the residual value directly, finance the payment of the residual value, or extend the lease term to pay the residual value.  In these cases, the residual value is protected and the risk of loss is minimal.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)-continued

For commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator is internally assigned risk ratings.  Each commercial loan is assigned a risk rating upon origination.  The risk rating is reviewed every 15 months, at a minimum, and on an as needed basis depending on the specific circumstances of the loan.

For direct financing leases, residential real estate loans, and installment and other consumer loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator is performance determined by delinquency status.  Delinquency status is updated daily by the Company’s loan system.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, troubled debt restructurings totaled $11,758,653 and $20,526,457, respectively.

For each class of financing receivable, the following presents the number and recorded investment of troubled debt restructurings, by type of concession, that were restructured during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.  The difference between the pre-modification recorded investment and the post-modification recorded investment would be any partial charge-offs at the time of the restructuring.

NOTE 5 – BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Selected financial and descriptive information is required to be disclosed for reportable operating segments, applying a “management perspective” as the basis for identifying reportable segments.  The management perspective is determined by the view that management takes of the segments within the Company when making operating decisions, allocating resources, and measuring performance.  The segments of the Company have been defined by the structure of the Company’s internal organization, focusing on the financial information that the Company’s operating decision-makers routinely use to make decisions about operating matters.

The Company’s primary segment, Commercial Banking, is geographically divided by markets into the secondary segments which are the three subsidiary banks wholly-owned by the Company:  QCBT, CRBT, and RB&T.  Each of these secondary segments offers similar products and services, but is managed separately due to different pricing, product demand, and consumer markets.  Each offers commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans and deposit services.

The Company’s Wealth Management segment represents the trust and asset management and investment management and advisory services offered at the Company’s three subsidiary banks in aggregate.  This segment generates income primarily from fees charged based on assets under administration for corporate and personal trusts, custodial services, and investments managed.  No assets of the subsidiary banks have been allocated to the Wealth Management segment.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE

The measurement of fair value under U.S. GAAP uses a hierarchy intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  This hierarchy includes three levels and is based upon the valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities.  The three levels are as follows:

 
1.
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in markets;
 
2.
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
 
3.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 or 2011.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis comprise the following at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

A small portion of the securities available for sale portfolio consists of common stock issued by various unrelated bank holding companies.  The fair values used by the Company are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1 inputs).

The large majority of the securities available for sale portfolio consists of U.S. government sponsored agency securities for which the Company obtains fair values from an independent pricing service.  The fair values are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, LIBOR yield curve, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2 inputs).

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis comprise the following at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Impaired loans/leases are evaluated and valued at the time the loan/lease is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or fair value, and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans/leases.  Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets, including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable, and is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company.  Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business.  

Other real estate owned in the table above consists of property acquired through foreclosures and settlements of loans.  Property acquired is carried at the lower of the principal amount of loans outstanding, or the estimated fair value of the property, less disposal costs, and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

For the impaired loans/leases and other real estate owned, the Company records carrying value at fair value less disposal or selling costs.  The amounts reported in the tables above are fair values before the adjustment for disposal or selling costs.

There have been no changes in valuation techniques used for any assets measured at fair value during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 or 2011.

The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above.  For certain financial assets and liabilities, carrying value approximates fair value due to the nature of the financial instrument.  These instruments include:  cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand and other non-maturity deposits, and short-term borrowings.  The Company used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of the following instruments:

Loans/leases receivable:  The fair values for variable rate loans equal their carrying values.  The fair values for all other types of loans/leases are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans/leases with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality.  The fair value of loans held for sale is based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold on the secondary market.  All of the above are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as presented in the table below.

Deposits:  The fair values disclosed for demand and other non-maturity deposits equal their carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand.  Fair values for time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on time deposits to a schedule of aggregate expected monthly maturities on time deposits, and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as presented in the table below.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances and junior subordinated debentures:  The fair value of these instruments is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as presented in the table below.
 
Other borrowings:  The fair value for the wholesale repurchase agreements and fixed rate other borrowings is estimated using rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.  The fair value for variable rate other borrowings is equal to its carrying value.  All of the above are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as presented in the table below.

NOTE 7 – PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF SERIES F PREFERRED STOCK

On June 29, 2012, the Company redeemed 10,223 shares of Series F Preferred Stock from Treasury for an aggregate redemption amount of $10,223,000 plus unpaid dividends to the date of redemption of $124,948.  Previously, on September 15, 2011, the Company issued 40,090 shares of Series F Preferred Stock to Treasury for an aggregate purchase price of $40,090,000.  The sale of Series F Preferred Stock was the result of an investment by Treasury from the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”), a $30 billion fund established under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which was intended to encourage lending to small business by providing capital to qualified community banks with assets of less than $10 billion.

The remaining Series F Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Company, subject to the approval of the Company’s primary federal banking regulator.  All redemptions must be in amounts equal to at least 25% of the number of originally issued shares, or 100% of the then-outstanding shares (if less than 25% of the originally issued shares).

NOTE 8 – ACQUISITION OF 20% NONCONTROLLING INTEREST IN M2 LEASE FUNDS

On August 27, 2012, the Company’s largest subsidiary bank, QCBT, entered into an amendment to the operating agreement of m2 Lease Funds and purchased the 20% noncontrolling interest in m2 Lease Funds.  QCBT previously owned an 80% equity interest in m2 Lease Funds.  The acquisition is structured in two payments with the initial payment of $1,653,755 made on September 11, 2012 and the final payment to be made in September 2015.  The initial payment represented a 50% premium over the book value of the 20% equity interest of $3,307,509 as of August 31, 2012, calculated in accordance with the operating agreement.  The final payment will consist of the book value of the 20% equity interest as of August 31, 2012 plus 20% of the earnings from m2 Lease Funds for the period September 2012 through August 2015.  As a result, for the portion of the final payment related to the book value of the 20% equity interest as of August 31, 2012, QCBT calculated the present value of the future payment using a discount rate of 5% and recorded the resulting liability of $2,847,687.  QCBT will accrete the discount using the effective yield method over three years.  For the portion of the final payment related to the 20% of earnings from m2 Lease Funds for the period September 2012 through August 2015, QCBT will record compensation cost and increase the liability on a monthly basis.  As a result of acquiring additional equity in a majority-owned company, the premium paid is reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.  The total premium paid and resulting reduction of additional paid-in capital totaled $2,133,417 which consists of the 50% premium over the book value as defined by the operating agreement ($1,653,755) and the difference between the discounted book value and the equity in the 20% noncontrolling interest as of August 31, 2012 ($453,884).

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased $1.1 million, or 8%, to $15.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, from $14.0 million for the same period of 2011.  The increase in net interest income was driven primarily by reduced interest expense.  This was the result of continued reductions in the cost of deposits as well as growth in noninterest bearing deposits, which funded the earning asset growth and allowed the level of interest-bearing funding to remain relatively flat.  Interest income grew slightly as growth in loans and securities more than offset the continued decline in yields.

A comparison of yields, spread and margin from the third quarter of 2012 to the third quarter of 2011 is as follows (on a tax equivalent basis):

 
·
The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 25 basis points.
 
·
The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 27 basis points.
 
·
The net interest spread improved 2 basis points from 2.82% to 2.84%.
 
·
The net interest margin expanded 3 basis points from 3.13% to 3.16%.

Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased $3.9 million, or 10%, to $44.3 million for the first nine months of 2012, from $40.4 million for the same period of 2011.  The growth was primarily a function of reductions in the rates paid on all interest-bearing liabilities with most of the impact from declining cost of deposits.  Additionally, interest income grew as growth in loans and securities more than offset the decline in yields.

A comparison of yields, spread and margin from the first nine months of 2012 to the same period of 2011 is as follows (on a tax equivalent basis):

 
·
The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 22 basis points.
 
·
The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 30 basis points.
 
·
The net interest spread improved 8 basis points from 2.73% to 2.81%.
 
·
The net interest margin expanded 8 basis points from 3.06% to 3.14%.

The Company’s management closely monitors and manages net interest margin.  From a profitability standpoint, an important challenge for the Company’s subsidiary banks and leasing company is the improvement of their net interest margins.  Management continually addresses this issue with pricing and other balance sheet management strategies.  Over the past two years, the Company’s management has emphasized improving its funding mix by reducing its reliance on wholesale funding, which tends to be at a higher cost than deposits. In addition, with loan growth continuing to be modest, the Company’s management has focused on growing and diversifying its securities portfolio.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred.

Based on its consideration of accounting policies that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, management has identified its most critical accounting policy to be that related to the allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases.  The Company’s allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases methodology incorporates a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative, in establishing an allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases that management believes is appropriate at each reporting date.  Quantitative factors include the Company’s historical loss experience, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in nonperforming loans/leases, and other factors.  Quantitative factors also incorporate known information about individual loans/leases, including borrowers’ sensitivity to interest rate movements.  Qualitative factors include the general economic environment in the Company’s markets, including economic conditions throughout the Midwest, and in particular, the state of certain industries.  Size and complexity of individual credits in relation to loan/lease structure, existing loan/lease policies and pace of portfolio growth are other qualitative factors that are considered in the methodology.  Management may report a materially different amount for the provision for loan/lease losses in the statement of operations to change the allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases if its assessment of the above factors were different.  This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere herein, as well as the portion in the section entitled “Financial Condition” of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis that discusses the allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases.  Although management believes the level of the allowance as of September 30, 2012 is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan/lease portfolio, a decline in local economic conditions, or other factors, could result in increasing losses that cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.

The Company’s assessment of other-than-temporary impairment of its available-for-sale securities portfolio is another critical accounting policy as a result of the level of judgment required by management.  Available-for-sale securities are evaluated to determine whether declines in fair value below their cost are other-than-temporary.  In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers a number of factors including, but not limited to, (1) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) the current market conditions, and (4) the intent of the Company to not sell the security prior to recovery and whether it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery.  The discussion regarding the Company’s assessment of other-than-temporary impairment should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere herein.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income declined slightly comparing the third quarter of 2012 to the third quarter of 2011.  The effect of declines in loan yields effectively offset the growth in loans/leases and securities.  Specifically, over the year, the average balance for loans/leases grew $37.0 million, or 3%, while yields declined 28 basis points.  As deposit growth continues to outpace loan growth, the Company has focused on growing and diversifying its securities portfolio, including increasing its portfolio of agency-sponsored mortgage-backed securities as well as municipal securities.  Of the latter, the large majority are located in or near our existing markets with strong underwriting conducted before investment.  Over the year, the average balance for securities grew $103.0 million, or 20%, and yields improved 3 basis points.  With the continuing historical low interest rate environment, management’s execution of its strategy to diversify the securities portfolio has contributed to this yield gain.

For the first nine months of 2012, interest income grew slightly compared to the first nine months of 2011.  Growth and diversification of the securities portfolio (average balances grew $114.6 million, or 23%) more than offset the effect of declining yields (decline of 9 basis points year over year).  The impact of loan/lease growth (average balances grew $41.0 million, or 4%) fell short of the effect of declining yields (decline of 27 basis points year over year) leading to a net decline in interest income on loans/leases.

Management understands the importance of quality, well-priced loan/lease growth and has worked hard to grow assets in a prudent and sustainable manner.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2012 declined $883 thousand, or 15%, from the third quarter of 2011, and declined $3.0 million, or 17%, comparing the first nine months of 2012 to the same period of 2011.   The Company continued to grow noninterest bearing deposits, whichhas provided management increased flexibility to decrease pricing on its interest-bearing deposits.  The Company has been successful in decreasing the cost of borrowings, which has also contributed to the decline in interest expense.  Management has placed a strong focus on reducing the reliance on wholesale funding as it tends to be higher cost than deposits.  In recent years, the majority of maturing wholesale funds have not been replaced, or, to a lesser extent, have been replaced at significantly reduced cost.  In addition, management executed on three separate strategies during 2011 and 2012 which strongly contributed to the declining borrowing costs:

 
1.
During the first quarter of 2011, QCBT utilized excess liquidity and prepaid $15.0 million of FHLB advances with a weighted average interest rate of 4.87% and a weighted average maturity of May 2012.
 
2.
The Company modified $33.4 million ($20.4 million in first quarter of 2011 and $13.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011) of fixed rate FHLB advances into new fixed rate FHLB advances at significantly reduced interest rates and extended maturities.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company modified $25.0 million of fixed rate wholesale structured repurchase agreements (“structured repos”) into new fixed rate structured repos at significantly reduced interest rates and extended maturities.

Management continues to consider strategies to accelerate the reduction of the reliance on wholesale funding and continue the shift in mix to a funding base consisting of a higher percentage of core deposits.

PROVISION FOR LOAN/LEASE LOSSES

The provision for loan/lease losses is established based on a number of factors, including the Company’s historical loss experience, delinquencies and charge-off trends, the local and national economy and risk associated with the loans/leases in the portfolio as described in more detail in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section.

The Company’s provision for loan/lease losses totaled $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2012, a decline of $961 thousand from the third quarter of 2011.  For the first nine months of 2012, the Company’s provision totaled $3.3 million, which was a decline of $1.9 million from the first nine months of 2011.  The declines were the result of continued improvement in loan quality as evidenced by a declining trend in the level of classified and criticized loans (see table and further discussion in the “Financial Condition” section), as well as a declining trend in nonperforming loans/leases.  The latter fell $8.1 million, or 25%, since September 30, 2011.

In comparison to the second quarter of 2012, the Company’s provision for loan/lease losses of $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2012 reflected an increase of $448 thousand.  The Company experiencedloan/lease growth during the third quarter of 2012 which warranted an increased provision.  Specifically, loans/leases grew $31.0 million, or 3%, with the majority of this growth in commercial and commercial real estate.

With the provision of $1.5 million more than offsetting net charge-offs totaling $804 thousand, the Company’s allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases to total loans/leases increased slightly to 1.56% at September 30, 2012 from 1.54% at June 30, 2012.  A more detailed discussion of the Company’s allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases can be found in the “Financial Condition” section of this report.

Trust department fees continue to be a significant contributor to noninterest income.  Trust department fees grew 20% from the third quarter of 2011 to the third quarter of 2012, and grew slightly by 2% for the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011.  The majority of the trust department fees are determined based on the value of the investments within the managed trusts.  As markets have experienced volatility with the national economy’s recovery from recession, the Company’s fee income has experienced similar volatility and fluctuation.  In recent years, the Company has been successful in expanding its customer base, which has helped to offset some of the effect of volatility and drive the recent increases.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

In recent years, the Company has placed a stronger emphasis on growing its investment advisory and management services.  Part of this initiative has been to restructure the Company’s Wealth Management Division to allow for more efficient delivery of products and services through selective additions of talent as well as the leverage of and collaboration among existing resources (including the aforementioned Trust Department).  Fee income for investment advisory and management services grew 5% comparing third quarter of 2012 to the same period of 2011, and grew 9% year over year.  Similar to trust department fees, these fees are largely determined based on the value of the investments managed.  Continued expansion of the customer base more than offset the impact of market volatility.

As management understands the importance of growing fee income, expanding market share in trust and investment advisory services will continue to be a primary strategic focus.

Although deposit service fees are down 5% from the third quarter of 2011 to the third quarter of 2012, deposit service fees have generally expanded over the past several years.  The Company has placed an emphasis on shifting the mix of deposits from brokered and retail time deposits to non-maturity demand deposits.  With this shift in mix, the Company has increased the number of demand deposit accounts, which tend to be lower in interest cost and higher in service fees.  The Company plans to continue this shift in mix and to further focus on growing deposit service fees.  Management periodically evaluates fee levels and fully understands the importance of this recurring source of fee income.

Gains on sales of loans, net, consists of sales of residential mortgages and the government guaranteed portions of small business loans.  Following is the breakdown of the gains recognized for these types of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Gains on sales of government guaranteed portions of loans

    $ 684,546     $ 408,364     $ 1,965,957     $ 1,923,185  
 
Growth in the sales of residential mortgages is the result of an increase in refinancing activity caused by the continued flattening of the yield curve driving mortgage rates downward and allowing opportunities for additional refinancing.  In addition, there appears to be a slow and steady recovery in the residential mortgage market with increased buying and selling activity.  Sales activity for government guaranteed portions of loans tends to fluctuate depending on the demand for small business loans that fit the criteria for the government guarantee.  Further, some of the transactions can be large and, as the gain is determined as a percentage of the guaranteed amount, the resulting gain on sale can be large.  Lastly, a strategy for improved pricing is packaging loans together for sale.  From time to time, the Company may execute on this strategy, which may delay the gains on sales of some loans to achieve better pricing.  Despite the fluctuation, the Company will continue to focus on growing small business lending and selling the government guaranteed portion as it continues to be beneficial.

During the third quarter of 2011, as a result of favorable market conditions, QCBT sold $8.6 million of government agency securities for a pre-tax gain totaling $444 thousand.  The related sales proceeds were reinvested into agency-sponsored residential mortgage-backed securities with higher yields and similar credit risk to the sold securities.  During the second quarter of 2011, as a result of favorable market conditions, RB&T sold $8.3 million of government agency securities for a pre-tax gain totaling $149 thousand,.  Additionally, the sales proceeds were utilized to diversify RB&T’s securities portfolio and fund loan growth.  Separately, during the first quarter of 2011, in an effort to offset the $832 thousand of fees for prepaying $15.0 million of FHLB advances, QCBT sold $37.4 million of government agency securities for a pre-tax gain totaling $880 thousand.

In 2012, the Company incurred increased write-downs of existing other real estate owned as the result of further declines in appraised values.  Of the net losses for the current quarter, the Company wrote down $527 thousand of existing other real estate owned and recognized net losses on sales of $219 thousand.  For the first nine months of 2012, the Company had write-downs of $1.2 million and net losses on sales of $165 thousand.  Management continues to proactively manage its other real estate owned portfolio in an effort to sell timely at minimal loss.

Earnings on bank-owned life insurance experienced strong growth quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year.  The Company purchased $1.6 million, or 4%, of additional bank-owned life insurance since September 30, 2011.  Additionally, a small portion of the Company’s bank-owned life insurance is variable rate whereby the returns are determined by the performance of the equity market.

Included in ‘other’ noninterest income, the Company recognized a $580 thousand pre-tax gain on the sale of a small equity interest in a company that provided data processing services to the Company’s merchant credit card acquiring business that was previously sold in 2008.  In addition, CRBT recognized $303 thousand of fee income for the execution of interest rate swaps related to three commercial loans during the first nine months of 2012 ($207 thousand in first quarter of 2012, and $96 thousand in the third quarter of 2012).  The interest rate swaps allow the commercial borrowers to pay a fixed interest rate while CRBT receives a variable interest rate.  Management believes that these swaps help position CRBT more favorably for rising rate environments.

Item 2
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued
 
Salaries and employee benefits, which is the largest component of noninterest expense, increased from prior year.  This increase is largely the result of:

 
·
Customary annual salary and benefits increases for the majority of the Company’s employee base in 2012.
 
·
Continued increases in health insurance-related employee benefits for the majority of the Company’s employee base.
 
·
Higher accrued incentive compensation based on improved performance for the first nine months of 2012.
 
·
Targeted talent additions in late 2011 and early 2012.  Specifically, the Company added four business development officers (three in the Wealth Management Division and one in the Correspondent Banking Division) in an effort to continue to grow market share.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased from the prior year with the purchases of additional technology for enhanced customer service and for improved fraud detection and prevention systems.  In addition, the largest branch of RB&T was renovated to allow for existing and future expansion.

Although the FDIC and other insurance expense increased quarter-over-quarter, FDIC and other insurance expense has generally fallen over the past two years.  FDIC insurance premiums are calculated using a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, balance sheet levels, funding mix, and regulatory compliance.  The subsidiary banks have been successful in managing these factors and driving down FDIC insurance cost.  In addition, the FDIC modified the calculation for premiums effective during the second quarter of 2011.  The modification was favorable for the Company’s subsidiary banks.

Loan/lease expense declined significantly in the first nine months of 2012.  Generally, loan/lease expense has a direct relationship with the level of nonperforming loans/leases.  Over the past several quarters, the Company has been successful in resolving several nonperforming loans that had previously incurred significant recurring costs.

The Company incurred additional expenses for advertising and marketing during 2012 in an effort to gain market share across all three markets.  The largest costs were incurred by QCBT as management sponsored two high profile community events.

Bank service charges, which include costs incurred to provide services to QCBT’s correspondent banking customer portfolio, have increased year over year.  The increase is due, in large part, to the success QCBT has had in growing its correspondent banking customer portfolio over the past year.

In an effort to utilize some of its excess liquidity and improve net interest margin by eliminating some of its higher cost wholesale funding, QCBT prepaid $15.0 million of FHLB advances during the first quarter of 2011.  As a result, QCBT incurred a prepayment fee totaling $832 thousand.  To offset these fees, QCBT sold $37.4 million of government sponsored agency securities for a pre-tax gain totaling $880 thousand.

Overall, management has placed a strong emphasis on prudent cost control through improved efficiency.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes totaled $1.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 25%, for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $667 thousand, or an effective tax rate of 23%, for the same quarter in 2011.  The increase in effective tax rate is the result of the proportion of taxable to nontaxable income.  The Company’s growth in taxable income comparing the third quarter of 2012 to the third quarter of 2011 more than offsets the impact of the growth in nontaxable income (the Company grew its tax exempt municipal securities portfolio over threefold during 2012).

For the first nine months of 2012, the provision for income taxes totaled $3.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 26%, compared to $2.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 28%, for the first nine months of 2011.  The decline in the effective tax rate is primarily the result of the following:

 
·
The continued application of tax credits that were acquired in the third quarter of 2011.
 
·
The increase in tax-exempt municipal securities during the first nine months of 2012, which, in turn, resulted in an increase in nontaxable income.  Specifically, the Company grew its municipal securities portfolio from $25.7 million at December 31, 2011 to $90.0 million at September 30, 2012.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

The composition of the Company’s securities portfolio is managed to meet liquidity needs while prioritizing the impact on asset-liability position and maximizing return.  With the strong growth in deposits more than offsetting the pace of loan growth over the past two years, the Company has grown and diversified its securities portfolio, including increasing the portfolio of agency-sponsored mortgage-backed securities as well as more than tripling the portfolio of municipal securities.  Of the latter, the large majority are located in or near the Company’s existing markets and require a thorough underwriting process before investment.  As the portfolio has grown over recent years, management has elevated its focus on maximizing return while minimizing credit and interest rate risk.

Following is a breakdown of the Company’s securities portfolio by type, the percentage of unrealized gains to amortized cost on the total portfolio, and the portfolio duration:

Regarding the Company’s levels of qualified small business lending as defined by Treasury as part of the Company’s participation in SBLF, see the discussion later in this section of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

As commercial real estate loans are the largest portfolio segment, management places a strong emphasis on monitoring the composition of the Company’s commercial real estate loan portfolio.  Management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non owner-occupied loans.  Owner-occupied loans are generally considered to have less risk.  As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 34% and 29%, respectively, of the commercial real estate loan portfolio was owner-occupied.  The Company’s commercial real estate portfolio grew $17.1 million, or 3%, over the first nine months of 2012.  Further, there was a favorable shift in mix as owner-occupied loans grew $32.0 million, or 19%, while non owner-occupied loans (including commercial construction and land development) declined $14.9 million, or 4%.

*   “Other” consists of all other industries.  None of these had concentrations greater than $15 million, or 2.5% of total commercial real estate loans.

The Company’s residential real estate loan portfolio consists of the following:

 
·
Certain loans that do not meet the criteria for sale into the secondary market.  These are often structured as adjustable rate mortgages with maturities ranging from three to seven years to avoid the long-term interest rate risk.
 
·
A limited amount of 15-year fixed rate residential real estate loans that met certain credit guidelines.

The remaining residential real estate loans originated by the Company were sold on the secondary market to avoid the interest rate risk associated with longer term fixed rate loans.  Loans originated for this purpose were classified as held for sale and are included in the residential real estate loans above.  In addition, the Company has not originated any subprime, Alt-A, no documentation, or stated income residential real estate loans throughout its history.

See Note 3 for additional information regarding the Company’s loan/lease portfolio.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

The allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases was $19.4 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $18.8 million at December 31, 2011 and $19.6 million at September 30, 2011.  The allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases was determined based on factors that included the overall composition of the loan/lease portfolio, types of loans/leases, past loss experience, loan/lease delinquencies, potential substandard and doubtful credits, economic conditions, collateral positions, governmental guarantees and other factors that, in management’s judgment, deserved evaluation. To ensure that an adequate allowance was maintained, provisions were made based on a number of factors, including the increase/decrease in loans/leases and a detailed analysis of the loan/lease portfolio.  The loan/lease portfolio was reviewed and analyzed monthly with specific detailed reviews completed on all loans risk-rated worse than “fair quality” and carrying aggregate exposure in excess of $100 thousand.  The adequacy of the allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases is monitored by the loan review staff and reported to management and the board of directors.

The Company continued to strengthen its core loan portfolio as the levels of criticized and classified loans declined further in the third quarter of 2012, as reported in the following table.

* Amounts above include the government guaranteed portion, if any.  For the calculation of allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases, the Company assigns internal risk ratings of Pass (Rating 2) for the government guaranteed portion.
** Criticized loans are defined as commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans with internally assigned risk ratings of 6, 7, or 8, regardless of performance.
*** Classified loans are defined as commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans with internally assigned risk ratings of 7 or 8, regardless of performance.

The declining trend in criticized and classified loans over the past several years translated to a reduction in nonperforming loans/leases and that trend continued during the third quarter of 2012 as nonperforming loans/leases fell $3.4 million, or 12%.  Furthermore, nonperforming loans/leases have declined $23.4 million, or 50%, from their peak at September 30, 2010.  As a direct result, the level of allowance has declined.  Notably, the decline in nonperforming loans/leases has outpaced the decline in allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases and strengthened the Company’s ratio of allowance to nonperforming loans/leases.  The following table summarizes the trend in allowance as a percentage of gross loans/leases and as a percentage of nonperforming loans/leases as of September 30, 2012, December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010.

*Nonperforming loan/leases consist of nonaccrual loans/leases, accruing loans/leases past due 90 days or more, and accruing troubled debt restructurings.

Although management believes that the allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases at September 30, 2012 was at a level adequate to absorb losses on existing loans/leases, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts or that the Company will not be required to make additional provisions for loan/lease losses in the future.  Unpredictable future events could adversely affect cash flows for both commercial and individual borrowers, which could cause the Company to experience increases in problem assets, delinquencies and losses on loans/leases, and require further increases in the provision.  Asset quality is a priority for the Company and its subsidiaries.  The ability to grow profitably is in part dependent upon the ability to maintain that quality.  The Company continually focuses efforts at its subsidiary banks and leasing company with the intention to improve the overall quality of the Company’s loan/lease portfolio.

See Note 3 for additional information regarding the Company’s allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases.

Texas Ratio = Nonperforming Assets (excluding Other Repossessed Assets) / Tangible Equity plus Allowance for Estimated Losses on Loans/Leases.  Texas Ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Management included this ratio as this is considered to be a critical metric with which to analyze and evaluate asset quality.  Other companies may calculate this ratio differently.

The large majority of the nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans/leases, accruing troubled debt restructurings, and other real estate owned.  For nonaccrual loans/leases and accruing troubled debt restructurings, management has thoroughly reviewed these loans/leases and has provided specific allowances as appropriate.  Other real estate owned is carried at the fair value less costs to sell.

Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2012 were $29.1 million which is a decline of $11.4 million, or 28%, from December 31, 2011.  Further, nonperforming assets have declined $30.3 million, or 51%, from their peak position of $59.4 million at September 30, 2010.  Most of the decline from December 31, 2011 was the result of improved performance on nonperforming loans ($4.4 million) and sales of other real estate owned ($2.1 million), with the remainder due to charge-offs ($3.7 million) and write-downs of other real estate owned ($1.2 million).

Deposits grew $137.8 million, or 11%, during the first nine months of 2012.  The table below presents the composition of the Company’s deposit portfolio.

The Company has been successful in growing its noninterest bearing deposit portfolio over the past few years and this continued into the first nine months of 2012 with an increase of $60.1 million, or 17%. Most of this growth continues to be derived from QCBT’s correspondent banking business.  The continued strength of the noninterest bearing deposit portfolio has provided flexibility to manage down deposit pricing and reduce reliance on higher cost wholesale funds which has helped drive down the Company’s interest expense.
 
The subsidiary banks offer short-term repurchase agreements to some of their significant customers.  Also, the subsidiary banks purchase federal funds for short-term funding needs from the Federal Reserve Bank or from their correspondent banks.  The table below presents the composition of the Company’s short-term borrowings.

The Company’s federal funds purchased position was temporarily elevated at December 31, 2011, as a result of short-term fluctuations in noninterest bearing correspondent deposit balances for several customers over the end of the year.
 
As a result of their memberships in either the FHLB of Des Moines or Chicago, the subsidiary banks have the ability to borrow funds for short or long-term purposes under a variety of programs.  FHLB advances are utilized for loan matching as a hedge against the possibility of rising interest rates, and when these advances provide a less costly or more readily available source of funds than customer deposits.  FHLB advances declined $8.4 million, or 4%, during the first nine months of 2012.

The increase in borrowing on the 364-day revolving note of $2.0 million was the result of funding needed to execute on the partial redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock previously issued to Treasury under the SBLF program.  For a detailed discussion of this partial redemption, see below.

It is management’s intention to continue to reduce the reliance on wholesale funding, including FHLB advances, wholesale structured repurchase agreements, and brokered time deposits.  Replacement of this funding with core deposits helps to reduce interest expense as the wholesale funding tends to be higher funding cost.  The table below presents the maturity schedule including weighted average cost for the Company’s combined wholesale funding portfolio.

Stockholders’ equity declined $5.3 million, or 4%, during the first nine months of 2012 as a result of the partial redemption of Series F Preferred Stock.  On June 29, 2012, the Company redeemed $10.2 million of the $40.1 million of outstanding Series F Preferred Stock.  The Company originally issued this preferred capital to Treasury in September of 2011.  Net income of $9.4 million grew retained earnings; however, this was partially offset by declaration of preferred stock dividends totaling $2.7 million ($1.3 million for Series E Preferred Stock, and $1.4 million for Series F Preferred Stock).  As part of the purchase of the 20% noncontrolling interest in m2 Lease Funds, the equity in noncontrolling interest decreased $1.9 million.  In addition, as further discussed in Note 8, the Company’s additional paid-in capital declined $2.1 million for the premium paid on the purchase of the 20% noncontrolling interest in m2 Lease Funds.  Lastly, the available for sale portion of the securities portfolio experienced an increase in fair value for the first nine months of 2012 totaling $1.4 million as a result of declines in certain market interest rates.

The Series E Preferred Stock is perpetually convertible by the holder into shares of common stock at a per share conversion price of $12.15, subject to anti-dilution adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events.  In addition, the Company can exercise a conversion option on or after the third anniversary of the issue date (June 30, 2013) at the same $12.15 conversion price if the Company’s common stock price equals or exceeds $17.22 for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days.

Regarding the Series F Preferred Stock, non-cumulative dividends are payable quarterly, and the dividend rate is based on changes in the level of “Qualified Small Business Lending” or “QSBL” by the Company’s wholly owned bank subsidiaries, QCBT, CRBT and RB&T.  Based upon the change in the banks’ level of QSBL over the baseline level (defined below), the dividend rate remained at 5% through the third quarter of 2012.  With the partial redemption, assuming a 5% dividend rate, the Company’s preferred dividends will be reduced by $511 thousand annually.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company reported its QSBL in accordance with SBLF guidelines and calculated a net decline from the baseline of $68.8 million, or 15%.  SBLF defines the baseline as the average of the Company’s QSBL for the last two quarters of 2009 and the first two quarters of 2010.  As a result of the decline, the dividend rate on the Series F Preferred Stock remains at 5%.  Although the Company continues to experience a net decline in QSBL since the baseline, it continues to support small businesses in its communities.  One example of this support is through its significant participation in the SBA and USDA lending programs.  Notably, for 2011, all three of the subsidiary banks were ranked in the top 10 in their respective states for SBA lending volume.  CRBT was ranked first in the state of Iowa for both SBA and USDA lending volume.  The government guaranteed portions of these loans (typically 70% to 85% of the total principal balance) do not qualify as QSBL, as defined by SBLF guidelines.  Through continued participation in these programs and the efforts of the Company’s experienced small business bankers, the Company is well positioned to continue to support the lending needs of small businesses in the communities it serves.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity measures the ability of the Company to meet maturing obligations and its existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to fund its operations, and to provide for customers’ credit needs.  The Company monitors liquidity risk through contingency planning stress testing on a regular basis.  The Company seeks to avoid over concentration of funding sources and to establish and maintain contingent funding facilities that can be drawn upon if normal funding sources become unavailable.  One source of liquidity is cash and short-term assets, such as interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, which totaled $95.7 million at September 30, 2012, an increase over $83.7 million at June 30, 2012, and down slightly from $100.7 million at December 31, 2012.  These levels are approximately 5% of total assets.

The Company has a variety of sources of short-term liquidity available, including federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, FHLB advances, structured wholesale repurchase agreements, brokered certificates of deposit, lines of credit, borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window, sales of securities available for sale, and loan/lease participations or sales.  The Company also generates liquidity from the regular principal payments and prepayments made on its loan/lease portfolio, and on the regular monthly payments on its residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio. At September 30, 2012, the subsidiary banks had 31 lines of credit totaling $301.9 million, of which $52.9 million was secured and $249.0 million was unsecured.  At September 30, 2012, the full $301.9 million was available.  Additionally, the Company has a single $20.0 million secured revolving line of credit with a maturity date of April 1, 2013.  As of September 30 2012, the Company had $14.4 million available as the line of credit carried an outstanding balance of $5.6 million.

Throughout its history, the Company has secured additional capital through various resources, including the issuance of preferred stock (discussed above) and the issuance of trust preferred securities.  Trust preferred securities are reported on the Company’s balance sheet as liabilities, but do qualify for treatment as regulatory capital.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued
 
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and subsidiary banks’ financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the subsidiary banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.  Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the subsidiary banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets, each as defined by regulation.  Management believes, as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, that the Company and the subsidiary banks met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

Under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, to be categorized as “well capitalized,” an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables.  The Company and the subsidiary banks’ actual capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are also presented in the following table (dollars in thousands).  As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the subsidiary banks met the requirements to be “well capitalized”.

The federal bank regulatory agencies recently issued joint proposed rules that would implement an international capital accord called “Basel III,” developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, a committee of central banks and bank supervisors.  The proposed rules would apply to all depository organizations in the United States and most of their parent companies and would increase minimum capital ratios, add a new minimum common equity ratio, add a new capital conservation buffer, and would change the risk-weightings of certain assets for the purposes of calculating certain capital ratios.  The proposed changes, if implemented, would be phased in from 2013 through 2019.  The comment period with respect to the proposed rules expired on October 22, 2012.  Various banking associations and industry groups provided comments on the proposed rules to the regulators, and it is unclear when the final rules will be adopted and what changes, if any, may be made to the proposed rules.  Management continues to assess the effect of the proposed rules on the Company and the subsidiary banks’ capital positions and will monitor developments regarding the proposed rules.

SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This document (including information incorporated by reference) contains, and future oral and written statements of the Company and its management may contain, forward-looking statements, within the meaning of such term in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of the Company.  Forward-looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of the Company’s management and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “bode,” “predict,” “suggest,” “project,” “appear,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “likely,” or other similar expressions.  Additionally, all statements in this document, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events.

The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. The factors which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and future prospects are detailed in the “Risk Factors” section included under Item 1.A. of Part I of the Company’s Form 10-K. In addition to the risk factors described in that section, there are other factors that may impact any public company, including the Company, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Part I
Item 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATVE DISCUSSION ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to direct and indirect market risk.  Direct market risk exists from changes in interest rates.  The Company’s net income is dependent on its net interest income.  Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets.  When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income.  Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net interest income.

In an attempt to manage the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates, management monitors the Company’s interest rate risk.  Each subsidiary bank has an asset/liability management committee of the board of directors that meets quarterly to review the bank’s interest rate risk position and profitability, and to make or recommend adjustments for consideration by the full board of each bank.  Internal asset/liability management teams consisting of members of the subsidiary banks’ management meet weekly to manage the mix of assets and liabilities to maximize earnings and liquidity and minimize interest rate and other risks.  Management also reviews the subsidiary banks’ securities portfolios, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the board's objectives in the most effective manner.  Notwithstanding the Company’s interest rate risk management activities, the potential for changing interest rates is an uncertainty that can have an adverse effect on net income.

In adjusting the Company’s asset/liability position, the board of directors and management attempt to manage the Company’s interest rate risk while maintaining or enhancing net interest margins.  At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the board of directors and management may decide to increase the Company’s interest rate risk position somewhat in order to increase its net interest margin.  The Company’s results of operations and net portfolio values remain vulnerable to increases in interest rates and to fluctuations in the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates.

One method used to quantify interest rate risk is a short-term earnings at risk summary, which is a detailed and dynamic simulation model used to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes.  This simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest sensitive assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.  This sensitivity analysis demonstrates net interest income exposure annually over a five-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth and various interest rate scenarios including no change in rates; 200, 300, 400, and 500 basis point upward shifts; and a 100 basis point downward shift in interest rates, where interest-bearing assets and liabilities reprice at their earliest possible repricing date.  The model assumes parallel and pro rata shifts in interest rates over a twelve-month period for the 200 basis point upward shift and 100 basis point downward shift.  For the 300 basis point upward shift, the model assumes an instantaneous and parallel upward shift in rates.  For the 400 basis point upward shift, the model assumes a parallel and pro rata shift in interest rates over a twenty-four month period.  For the 500 basis point upward shift, the model assumes a flattening and pro rata shift in interest rates over a twelve-month period where the short-end of the yield curve shifts upward greater than the long-end of the yield curve.  The asset/liability management committee of the board of directors has established policy limits of a 10% decline in net interest income for the 200 and the newly added 300 basis point upward shifts and the 100 basis point downward shift.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATVE DISCUSSION ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Application of the simulation model analysis at the most recent quarter-end available is presented in the following table.  Please note the simulation model analysis as of September 30, 2012 is not yet available.

As of June 30, 2012
   
As of December 31, 2011

100 basis point downward shift
    -1.3 %     -1.5 %     -1.9 %
200 basis point upward shift
    -2.9 %     -3.1 %     -3.0 %
300 basis point upward shock
    -6.8 %     -4.2 %     -1.6 %

The simulation is within the board-established policy limit of a 10% decline in net interest income for all three scenarios.

Interest rate risk is considered to be one of the most significant market risks affecting the Company.  For that reason, the Company engages the assistance of a national consulting firm and its risk management system to monitor and control the Company’s interest rate risk exposure.   Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities.
