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:

(1) The column "Inc./(Dec.) from Prior Period" is segmented into the changes attributable to variations in volume and the changes attributable to changes in interest rates. The variations attributable to simultaneous volume and rate changes have been proportionately alloctaed to rate and volume.

(2) Interest earned and yields on nontaxable investment securities are determined on a tax equivalent basis using a 34% tax rate for each period presented.

(3) Loan/lease fees are not material and are included in interest income from loans/leases receivable in accordance with accounting and regulatory guidance.

(4) Non-accrual loans/leases are included in the average balance for gross loans/leases receivable in accordance with accounting and regulatory guidance.

(5) 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 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.
