QCR HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

March 31, 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 March 31, 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 the 80% equity investment by QCBT in m2 Lease Funds, LLC (“m2 Lease Funds”), and 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 April 2011, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. ASU 2011-03 is intended to improve financial reporting of repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. ASU 2011-03 removes from the assessment of effective control (i) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (ii) the collateral maintenance guidance related to that criterion. ASU 2011-03 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2012 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  ASU 2011-04 amends Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles in Topic 820 and requires additional fair value disclosures. ASU 2011-04 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 amends Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, to require that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present, on the face of the financial statements, reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement or statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity was eliminated. ASU 2011-05 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Additionally, in December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU No. 2011-05.  ASU 2011-12 defers the effective date for the changes in ASU 2011-05 that specifically refer to the presentation of the effects of reclassifications adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements for all periods presented.  ASU 2011-12 reinstates the requirements of the presentation of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income that were in place before the issuance of ASU 2011-05.   ASU 2011-12 and 2011-05 were both effective for the Company for the quarter ending March 31, 2012.  See new separate consolidated statements of comprehensive income within the consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment.  ASU 2011-08 allows the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining the need to perform step one of the annual test for goodwill impairment.  ASU 2011-08 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  ASU 2011-08 did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, FASB 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.

At March 31, 2012, the investment portfolio included 360 securities.  Of this number, 99 securities had current unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation less than 1% from the amortized cost basis.  Of these 99, none 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 March 31, 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 or equity securities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, troubled debt restructurings totaled $19,645,204 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 months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

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 offer similar products and services, but are 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 months ended March 31, 2012 or 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 a 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 months ended March 31, 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 is 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)-continued

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.

Commitments to extend credit:  The fair value of these instruments is not material.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased $2.1 million, or 17%, to $14.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, from $12.3 million for the same period of 2011.  For the first quarter of 2012, average earning assets increased $97.8 million, or 6%, while average interest-bearing liabilities grew slightly, when compared with average balances for the first quarter of 2011.  Primarily funding the growth in average earnings assets, average noninterest-bearing deposits grew $96.7 million, or 33%, from the first quarter 2011 to the same period of 2012.  A comparison of yields, spread and margin from the first quarter of 2012 to the first quarter of 2011 is as follows (on a tax equivalent basis):

 
·
The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 3 basis points.
 
·
The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 35 basis points.
 
·
The net interest spread improved 32 basis points from 2.44% to 2.76%.
 
·
The net interest margin improved 31 basis points from 2.78% to 3.09%.

Although net interest margin grew sharply over the year and despite a slight increase in net interest income quarter-over-quarter, net interest margin is down 9 basis points from 3.18% for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.  The quarter-over-quarter decline in net interest margin was primarily the result of carrying higher levels of excess liquidity as deposit growth continued to outpace loan growth.

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 majority-owned 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 year, the Company’s management has emphasized shifting 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.

The Company’s average balances, interest income/expense, and rates earned/paid on major balance sheet categories, as well as the components of change in net interest income, are presented in the following tables:

(3) Non-accrual loans/leases are included in the average balance for gross loans/leases receivable in accordance with accounting and regulatory guidance.
 
(4) In accordance with ASC 860, effective January 1, 2010, the Company accounts for some participations sold, including sales of SBA-guaranteed portions of loans during the recourse period, as secured borrowings. As such, these amounts are included in the average balance for gross loans/leases receivable and other borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, this totaled $0.0 million and $8.5 million, respectively. During the second quarter of 2011, SBA removed the recourse provision for sales which allowed for sale accounting treatment at the time of sale; thus, the decline in average balance.

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 March 31, 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income grew $722 thousand, or 4%, from $18.7 million for the first quarter of 2011 to $19.4 million for the first quarter of 2012.  Growth in loans/leases and securities more than offset the effect of declines in yields.  Specifically, over the year, the average balance for loans/leases grew $45.1 million, or 4%, while loan yields declined 10 basis points.  Considering the challenging economic and competitive lending landscape, these results are favorable.  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 investing in municipalities.  As a result, over the year, the average balance for securities grew $129.2 million, or 29%, while yields declined modestly by 4 basis points.  With the extended historical low interest rate environment, management’s execution on diversification of the securities portfolio helped limit the yield fluctuation to only a modest decline.

Interest income for the current quarter fell slightly from the prior quarter.  Loan yields declined 10 basis points quarter-over-quarter which offset modest loan growth as well as the impact of continued growth and diversification of the securities portfolio.  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 first quarter of 2012 declined $314 thousand, or 6%, from prior quarter, and fell significantly by $1.3 million, or 20%, from the first quarter of 2011.  The average balances of interest-bearing deposits were relatively flat over the year, while the cost of deposits fell from 1.10% for the first quarter of 2011 to 0.90% for the fourth quarter of 2011, and down further to 0.78% for the first quarter of 2012.  As the Company continues to grow noninterest bearing deposits (the average balances increased $96.7 million, or 33%, over the year), this has provided management increased flexibility to manage down pricing on its interest-bearing deposits.  Also contributing to the decline in interest expense, the Company has been successful in managing down the cost of borrowings.  Management has placed a strong focus on reducing the reliance on wholesale funding as it tends to be higher cost than deposits.  Over the year, 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 two separate strategies during 2011 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.

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 $780 thousand for the first quarter of 2012, a decline of $639 thousand over the prior quarter, and a decline of $288 thousand from the first quarter of 2011.  The declines were the result of the following:

 
·
The Company continued to experience improving loan quality as evidenced by the declining trend in the level of classified and criticized loans (see table and further discussion in the “Financial Condition” section).  This trend translated over to nonperforming loans/leases as the Company’s level of nonperforming loans/leases declined from $35.7 million at March 31, 2011 down to $32.0 million at December 31, 2011, and down further to $30.6 million at March 31, 2012.
 
·
The Company experienced modest growth and a slight shift in mix in its loan/lease portfolio.  Specifically, loans/leases grew $56.0 million, or 5%, with approximately half of the growth in residential real estate loans and direct financing leases, which have smaller average balances and are historically less risky than the Company’s commercial loan portfolio.

With net charge-offs totaling $563 thousand more than offset by provision for loan/lease losses of $780 thousand, the Company’s allowance for estimated losses on loan/lease losses to total loans/leases increased to 1.57% at March 31, 2012 from 1.56% at December 31, 2011.  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.

    $ 3,956,878     $ 5,057,124     $ (1,100,246 )     (21.8 ) %
 
Trust department fees continue to be a significant contributor to noninterest income.  Trust department fees declined 7% from the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012.  Comparing the first quarter of 2012 to the fourth quarter of 2011, trust department fees grew 16%.  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 volatility.

Over the past year, the Company has placed a stronger emphasis on growing its investment advisory and management services.  Fee income for investment advisory and management services was relatively flat comparing first quarter of 2011 to the same quarter of 2012, and increased 9% from the fourth quarter of 2011 to the current quarter.  Similar to trust department fees, these fees are largely determined based on the value of the investments managed.  And, similar to the trust department, the Company has had some success in expanding its customer base which has helped to offset the market volatility affecting asset values as the national economy continues to slowly recover.

Deposit service fees have increased 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 focus on growing deposit service fees.

Gains on sales of loans, net, declined 48% from first quarter of 2011 to the same period in 2012.  This 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 months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
 
   
For the three months ended

Gains on sales of residential mortgages
  $ 291,433     $ 132,229  
Gains on sales of government guaranteed portions of loans
    107,657       627,464  
    $ 399,090     $ 759,693  
 
Regarding sales of residential mortgages, the sales volume was relatively flat comparing the first quarter of 2012 to the same period in 2011.  It appears the real estate markets are slowly recovering as buying and selling activity has increased which has offset the declining refinancing activity.  This shift in mix is favorable as the Company typically earns higher premiums on the former.  In addition, the Company has focused on improving its premiums per transaction with careful selection and negotiation with its portfolio of investors (purchasers of the residential mortgages) without sacrificing quality or increasing recourse exposure.  Despite the decline in gains on sales of government guaranteed portions of loans from the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012, the Company continues to place a strong focus on small business lending by taking advantage of programs offered by the Small Business Administration and United States Department of Agriculture.  In some cases, it is more beneficial for the Company to sell the government guaranteed portion at a premium.  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 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.

Included in ‘other’ noninterest income, CRBT recognized $207 thousand of fee income for the execution of interest rate swaps related to two commercial loans during the first 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 better for rising rate environments.

Salaries and employee benefits, which is the largest component of noninterest expense, increased $651 thousand, or 9%, from the first quarter of 2011 to the same quarter of 2012.  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 quarter of 2012.
 
·
An increase in the Company’s employee base as full-time equivalents increased from 347 at March 31, 2011 to 349 at March 31, 2012.  Specifically, the Company added three business development officers in the Wealth Management division in an effort to continue to grow market share.

FDIC and other insurance expense decreased 34% from the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012.  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 $57 thousand, or 21%, from the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012.  Generally, loan/lease expense has a direct relationship with the level of nonperforming loans/leases; however, it may deviate as it depends upon the individual nonperforming loans/leases.  Over the past few years, the Company has experienced elevated levels of loan/lease expense.

Item 2
 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued
 
The Company incurred additional expenses for advertising and marketing in the first quarter of 2012.   Specifically, the subsidiary banks and the leasing company are pursuing opportunities to reach new customers in their respective markets as a result of the continued uncertainty with some of their competition.

Bank service charges, which include costs incurred to provide services to QCBT’s correspondent banking customer portfolio, have increased over the 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.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes totaled $1.2 million, or an effective tax rate of 27%, for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $955 thousand, or an effective tax rate of 30%, for the same quarter in 2011.  The increase in provision for income taxes is the result of significant growth in income before taxes which is discussed previously throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.  Regarding the decline in the effective tax rate, this 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 quarter of 2012.  Specifically, the Company grew its municipal securities portfolio from $25.7 million at December 31, 2011 to $53.8 million at March 31, 2012.

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company’s total assets increased 1% from $1.97 billion at December 31, 2011 to $1.99 billion at March 31, 2012.   The Company continued to grow its securities portfolio with 9% growth during the current quarter.  Additionally, the Company experienced net growth of loan/leases in the amount of $10.8 million, or 1%, over the first quarter of 2012.  The growth was partially offset by a decline in federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions as the Company invested some of its excess liquidity.  The net increase in assets during the first quarter of 2012 was funded by strong and continued growth of the Company’s deposit portfolio as balances grew $91.3 million, or 8%.

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 and the continued weak loan demand, the Company has grown and diversified its securities portfolio, including increasing the portfolio of agency-sponsored mortgage-backed securities as well as more than doubling the portfolio of municipalities.  As the portfolio has grown over the recent years, management has elevated its focus on maximizing return while minimizing credit and interest rate risk.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued
 
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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 31% and 29%, respectively, of the commercial real estate loan portfolio was owner-occupied.  Although the net growth of commercial real estate loans was modest for the first quarter of 2012, there was a favorable shift in mix as owner-occupied grew $14.5 million, or 9%, while non owner-occupied (including commercial construction and land development) declined $11.3 million, or 3%.

Following is a listing of significant industries within the Company’s commercial real estate loan portfolio as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

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.

The allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases was $19.0 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $18.8 million at December 31, 2011 and $20.7 million at March 31, 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 was 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 first quarter of 2012, as reported in the following table.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued
 
The declining trend in criticized and classified loans over the past several quarters translated to a reduction in nonperforming loans/leases and that trend continued during the first quarter as nonperforming loans/leases fell $1.4 million, or 4%.  Furthermore, nonperforming loans/leases have declined $16.7 million, or 35%, 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 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 March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010.

Allowance / Nonperforming Loans/Leases *
    62.11 %     58.70 %     49.49 %
 
*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 March 31, 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.

(3)
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 March 31, 2012 were $38.9 million which is a decline of $1.6 million, or 4%, from December 31, 2011.  Further, nonperforming assets have declined $20.5 million, or 35%, from their peak position of $59.4 million at September 30, 2010.  A combination of improved performance ($781 thousand) and charge-offs ($825 thousand) contributed to the decline during the first quarter of 2012.

The Company has been successful in growing its noninterest bearing deposit portfolio over the past few years and this continued into the first quarter of 2012 with an increase of $28.6 million, or 8%. Most of this growth continues to derive 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 decreased slightly by $1.0 million during the first quarter of 2012.

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.

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 first quarter of 2012.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company reported its QSBL in accordance with SBLF guidelines and calculated a net decline from the baseline of $69.5 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 grew business loans modestly during the first quarter of 2012, some of these loans didn’t meet the SBLF’s specific definition for QSBL.  Although the Company continues to experience a net decline in QSBL since the baseline, it continues to supportsmall 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.

Stockholders’ equity increased $1.3 million, or 1%, during the first quarter of 2012.  Net income of $3.4 million grew retained earnings; however, this was partially offset by declaration of preferred stock dividends totaling $939 thousand ($438 thousand for Series E Preferred Stock, and $501 thousand for Series F Preferred Stock).  Lastly, the available for sale portion of the securities portfolio experienced a decline in fair value of $1.5 million, net of tax, for the first quarter of 2012 as a result of increases in certain market interest rates.

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 averaged $125.4 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $112.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.

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 March 31, 2012, the subsidiary banks had 26 lines of credit totaling $281.3 million, of which $65.3 million was secured and $216.0 million was unsecured.  At March 31, 2012, all of the $281.3 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 March 31, 2012, the Company had $16.4 million available as the line of credit carried an outstanding balance of $3.6 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.

The following table presents the details of the trust preferred securities issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2012.

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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, that the Company and the subsidiary banks met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are also presented in the following table (dollars in thousands).  As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the subsidiary banks met the requirements to be “well capitalized”.

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 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.  Effective with the modeling for the second quarter of 2010, the Company added an interest rate scenario where interest rates experience a parallel and instantaneous shift upward 300 basis points.  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 demonstrated the following:
 
   
NET INTEREST INCOME EXPOSURE in YEAR 1
 
INTEREST RATE SCENARIO
 
As of December 31, 2011
   
As of March 31,
2011
   
As of December 31, 2010
 
                   
100 basis point downward shift
    -1.5 %     -1.8 %     -1.9 %
200 basis point upward shift
    -3.1 %     -3.6 %     -3.0 %
300 basis point upward shift
    -4.2 %     -4.1 %     -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.
