General

The earnings of the Company are primarily dependent on the Bank's net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) borrowings. The difference between

Beginning with the Company's 2008 fiscal year, the Company's commercial business and commercial real estate loan portfolios have required significant allowances and charge offs due primarily to decreases in the estimated value of the underlying collateral supporting the loans, as many of these loans were made to borrowers in or associated with the real estate industry. The decrease in the estimated collateral value is primarily the result of reduced demand for real estate, particularly as it relates to single-family and commercial land developments. More stringent lending standards implemented by the mortgage industry in recent years have made it more difficult for some borrowers with marginal credit to qualify for a mortgage. This decrease in available credit and the overall weakness in the economy over the past several years reduced the demand for single family homes and the values of existing properties and developments where the Company's commercial loan portfolio has concentrations. Consequently, our level of non-performing assets and the related provision for loan losses increased significantly in the past several years, relative to periods before 2008. The increased levels of non-performing assets, related provisions for loan losses and write offs of or allowances against goodwill and deferred taxes arising from adverse results of operations, were the primary reasons for the net losses incurred by the Company in each of the years 2008 through 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those policies that the Company's management believes are the most important to understanding the Company's financial condition and operating results. These critical accounting policies often involve estimates and assumptions that could have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies that management believes involve the most difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments that are inherently uncertain. Therefore, actual financial results could differ significantly depending upon the estimates, assumptions and other factors used.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Related Provision

The allowance for loan losses is based on periodic analysis of the loan portfolio. In this analysis, management considers factors including, but not limited to, specific occurrences of loan impairment, changes in the size of the portfolios, national and regional economic conditions such as unemployment data, loan portfolio composition, loan delinquencies, local economic growth rates, historical experience and observations made by the Company's ongoing internal audit and regulatory exam processes. Loans are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be uncollectible. The Company has established separate processes to determine the appropriateness of the loan loss allowance for its homogeneous single-family and consumer loan portfolios and its non-homogeneous loan portfolios. The determination of the allowance on the homogeneous single-family and consumer loan portfolios is calculated on a pooled basis with individual determination of the allowance of all non-performing loans. The determination of the allowance for the non-homogeneous commercial, commercial real estate, and multi-family loan portfolios involves assigning standardized risk ratings and loss factors that are periodically reviewed. The loss factors are estimated based on the Company's own loss experience and are assigned to all loans without identified credit weaknesses. For each non-performing loan, the Company also performs an individual analysis of impairment that is based on the expected cash flows or the value of the assets collateralizing the loans and establishes any necessary reserves or charges off all loans or portion thereof that are deemed uncollectable.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. These calculations are based on many complex factors including estimates of the timing of reversals of temporary differences, the interpretation of federal and state income tax laws and a determination of the differences between the tax and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax liabilities.

The Company maintains significant net deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences, the largest of which relates to the allowance for loan and real estate losses and net operating loss carry forwards. For income tax purposes, only net charge-offs are deductible, not the entire provision for loan losses. Under generally accepted accounting principles, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is "more likely than not" that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the realizability of the deferred tax assets is highly subjective and dependent upon management's judgment and evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, including the forecasts of future income, tax planning strategies and assessments of the current and future economic and business conditions. The Company considers both positive and negative evidence regarding the ultimate realizability of deferred tax assets. Positive evidence includes the ability to implement tax planning strategies to accelerate taxable income recognition and the probability that taxable income will be generated in future periods. Negative evidence includes the Company's cumulative loss in the prior three year period, current financial performance, and the general business and economic trends. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax asset balance and the Company continued to maintain a valuation reserve against the entire deferred tax asset balance at September 30, 2012. This determination was based primarily upon the existence of a three year cumulative loss position that is primarily attributable to significant provisions for loan losses incurred during the last three years. The creation of the valuation allowance, although it increased tax expense and similarly reduced tangible book value, does not have an effect on the Company's cash flows, and may be recoverable in subsequent periods if the Company were to realize certain sustained future taxable income. It is possible that future conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated in determining the need for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and adjustments may be required in the future.

Determining the ultimate settlement of any tax position requires significant estimates and judgments in arriving at the amount of tax benefits to be recognized in the financial statements. It is possible that the tax benefits realized upon the ultimate resolution of a tax position may result in tax benefits that are significantly different from those estimated.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income was $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2012, an improvement of $2.7 million compared to a net loss of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2011. Net income available to common shareholders was $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2012, an improvement of $2.7 million, or 106.8%, from the net loss available to common shareholders of $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2011. Diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter of 2012 was $0.04, an increase of $0.69, or 106.2%, from the diluted loss per common share of $0.65 for the third quarter of 2011. The improvement in net income for the third quarter of 2012 is due to a $2.7 million decrease in the provision for loan losses between the periods, a $0.6 million increase in noninterest income due primarily to an increase in the gain on sales of loans, and a $0.6 million decrease in noninterest expenses due primarily to the decrease in expenses related to real estate owned. These changes to net income were partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in net interest income due primarily to a decrease in interest-earning assets between the periods.

Net income was $3.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, an improvement of $7.7 million, from the $3.9 million net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011. Net income available to common shareholders was $2.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, an improvement of $7.7 million, from the net loss available to common shareholders of $5.3 million for the same period of 2011. Diluted earnings per common share for the nine-month period in 2012 was $0.61, an improvement of $1.99, from the diluted loss per common share of $1.38 for the same period in 2011. The improvement in net income for the first nine months of 2012 is due to a $7.1 million decrease in the provision for loan losses between the periods, a $0.6 million gain on sale of the Bank's Toledo, Iowa branch, a $1.5 million increase in the gain on sales of loans, and a $2.3 million decrease in noninterest expenses due primarily to the decrease in expenses related to real estate owned. These improvements to net income were partially offset by a $3.4 million decrease in net interest income due primarily to a decrease in interest earning assets between the periods.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $5.9 million for the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 16.8%, compared to $7.1 million for the third quarter of 2011. Interest income was $7.6 million for the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 21.1%, from $9.6 million for the same period in 2011. Interest income decreased between the periods primarily because of a $145 million decrease in the average interest-earning assets and also because of a decrease in the average yields between the periods. Average interest-earning assets decreased between the periods primarily because of a decrease in the commercial loan portfolio, which occurred because of low loan demand and the Company's focus on improving credit quality, managing net interest margin and improving capital ratios. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.89% for the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of 12 basis points from the 5.01% average yield for the third quarter of 2011. The decrease in the average yield is due to the continued low interest rate environment that existed during the third quarter of 2012.

Interest expense was $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 33.3%, compared to $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2011. Interest expense decreased primarily because of the $150 million decrease in the average interest-bearing liabilities between the periods. The decrease in the average interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of a decrease in the average outstanding certificates of deposits and brokered deposits between the periods and a decrease in other deposits as a result of the Bank's Toledo, Iowa branch sale that was completed in the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in certificates of deposits and brokered deposits between the periods was the result of using the proceeds from loan principal payments to fund maturing certificates of deposit and brokered deposits. Interest expense also decreased because of the lower interest rates paid on money market accounts and certificates of deposits. The decreased rates were the result of the low interest rate environment that continued to exist during the third quarter of 2012. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.14% for the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of 22 basis points from the 1.36% average interest rate paid in the third quarter of 2011.

Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest- earning assets) for the third quarter of 2012 was 3.82%, an increase of 11 basis points, compared to 3.71% for the third quarter of 2011. Net interest margin improved between the periods primarily because the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased more than the yield on interest-earning assets. The decrease in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of a change in the mix of deposits as lower rate deposits were held during the third quarter of 2012 when compared to the same period in 2011. The change in the liability mix is primarily the result of a decrease in certificates of deposits and brokered deposits which is anticipated to continue.

Interest expense was $5.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 36.1%, from $8.8 million for the same period in 2011. Interest expense decreased primarily because of a $142 million decrease in the average interest-bearing liabilities between the periods. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of a decrease in the average outstanding certificates of deposit and brokered deposits between the periods. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.20% for the nine-month period of 2012, a decrease of 34 basis points from the 1.54% average rate paid for the same nine-month period of 2011.

Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) was 3.68% for the nine-month period of 2012, an increase of 8 basis points from the 3.60% margin for the same nine-month period of 2011. Net interest margin improved between the periods primarily because the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased more than the yield on interest-earning assets. The decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of a change in the mix of deposits as lower rate deposits were held during the first nine months of 2012 when compared to the same period in 2011. The change in the liability mix is primarily the result of a decrease in certificates of deposit and brokered deposits between the periods which is anticipated to continue.
