“Our performance 

during the past year 

was highlighted by our 

strong fundamental 

earnings power, solid 

capital foundation, and 

sharp focus on providing 

community banking 

services for an attractive 

and vibrant market.”

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, CUSTOMERS, 
EMPLOYEES AND COMMUNITY:

I am pleased to report that BNCCORP delivered outstanding operational and financial results in 
2012.  Our performance during the past year was highlighted by our strong fundamental earnings 
power, solid capital foundation, and sharp focus on providing community banking services for an 
attractive and vibrant market.  In addition to these and other positive developments, we can truly 
say that this was the period when BNC achieved the “escape velocity” to break free of the effects 
of the Great Recession that have weighed down the performance of so many financial institutions 
in recent years.

As a result of our progress, the Company entered 2013 in the strongest position we’ve been in for 
several years—and we have the forward momentum to deliver growing shareholder value in the 
months and years ahead.

Meaningful Financial Progress
Net income was $26.6 million for 2012 (before preferred stock costs), a sharp increase over the 
$4.2 million reported in 2011.  Diluted earnings per common share were $7.52 for 2012, up 
from $0.86 for the prior year.  These results represented a healthy return on average assets of 
3.74% and a return on average common equity of 76.77%.   

Earnings benefitted from a sharp increase in non-interest income, largely driven by our mortgage 
banking business, as well as decreased credit costs.  In addition to our profitable operations, the 
Company recognized a tax benefit of some $5.3 million in 2012, primarily due to the reversal 
of a significant portion of our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.  We also received $7.5 
million as a settlement of an insurance claim related to the fraudulent activity by an outside 
residential mortgage loan servicing provider as reported in 2010.  

In recent years, we have focused on several priorities that we believe are vital for the long-term 
stability of the Company: credit quality, liquidity and capital.  We made strides in all three areas 
in 2012.  

The provision for credit losses declined to $100 thousand in 2012, from $1.6 million in 2011.  
Nonperforming assets were $15.6 million or 2.03% of total assets at year-end 2012, down from 
$16.3 million or 2.45% at the end of 2011.  The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of 
total loans at December 31, 2012 was 2.62%, compared to 2.94% at December 31, 2011.  We 
remain vigilant with respect to asset quality, and will continue to take reasonable and prudent 
measures to properly manage credit risk.

Total assets rose to $770.8 million at year-end 2012, an increase of $105.7 million during the 
past 12 months.  A key contributor to our asset growth was the $79.4 million increase in cash and 
investment securities since year-end 2011, due to our continued emphasis on liquidity.  In addition, 
in 2012 we had higher balances of loans held for sale as a result of mortgage banking operations.

In terms of capital, our total common stockholders’ equity at year-end 2012 was $47.8 million, more than twice the level of a year ago, without 
resorting to an equity offering.  Our book value per common share increased substantially to $14.49 at December 31, 2012, from $6.42 a year 
earlier. The Bank’s capital ratios are well in excess of the regulatory standards for “well capitalized” institutions.

Core Banking for Our Communities
BNC has successfully focused on growing our business by providing superior banking and financial services solutions.  For example, anticipating 
the recovery of the housing market from the depths of the recession, we increased our emphasis on mortgage banking—originating a record of 
over $1 billion in mortgages in the past year.  We also have emphasized other core banking services that are responsive to the needs of our markets, 
such as commercial and industrial lending in North Dakota (including financing for owner-occupied commercial real estate), and Small Business 
Administration loans in Arizona.

Total deposits at year-end 2012 were $649.6 million, an increase of $73.3 million.  This was largely due to deposit growth at our North Dakota 
branch offices, which are well-positioned to continue to benefit from the vitality of this robust market.

Continuing our commitment to the wealth management business, we sponsored a well-attended wealth management seminar in Bismarck in 
October 2012, featuring the nationally recognized economist and financial writer John Mauldin.  We had an opportunity to acquaint Mr. Mauldin 
with the strength of the local economy, and particularly its role in U.S. energy independence, leading to a favorable mention of BNC in his online 
newsletter in December.

The above are just a few examples of our strong community banking emphasis.  A dedication to serving the communities in which we live and work 
sets off a virtuous cycle: our services help to grow local businesses and the financial well-being of our neighbors, who in turn support the growth of 
BNC.  We’re proud of the involvement of our employees in the community—both in providing exceptional service and participating in volunteer 
activities and charitable works.  We look forward to growing our pool of talented, skilled and engaged people in the years to come.

Challenges and Opportunities
Admittedly, the current economic environment presents a number of challenges. The recession led to a significant expansion in banking regulations 
and historically low interest rates, both of which will continue to press upon the financial performance of companies in our industry.  We also 
remain concerned about the lack of a clear, consistent approach to our nation’s fiscal issues.  

That said, BNCCORP enters 2013 with powerful forward momentum and we are well positioned to benefit from the opportunities we see in our 
business and marketplace. We have a solid core community banking franchise, profitable operations, and a sound capital base.  Just as important, 
we have a team that has shown determination and ability in withstanding a challenging economic cycle, serving customers’ needs, and producing 
growing value for shareholders.  

We appreciate the commitment to excellence of our employees, the guidance of our Board of Directors, and the support of our shareholders, and 
we look forward to delivering many more years of progress in the future.

Sincerely,

GREGORY K. CLEVELAND
President and Chief Executive Officer

General  

BNCCORP,  INC.  (BNCCORP  or  the  Company)  is  a  bank  holding  company  headquartered  in  Bismarck,  North 
Dakota. It is the parent company of BNC National Bank (the Bank). The Company operates community banking 
and  wealth  management  businesses  in  North  Dakota,  Minnesota and  Arizona  from  14  locations.  The  Company 
also  conducts  mortgage  banking  from  12  locations  in  Arizona,  Minnesota,  Illinois,  Kansas,  Nebraska  and 
Missouri.  

Operating Strategy 

We  are  a  community  bank  that  focuses  on  business  banking. Our  primary  strategy  is  to  build  value  for 
shareholders  by  providing  relationship-based  financial  services  to  small  and  mid-sized  businesses,  business 
owners, their employees and professionals. The key elements of our strategy include: 

(cid:120)

Providing individualized, high-level customer service.  A significant portion of our strategic focus centers 
around our dedication to providing the highest level of customer service and establishing and maintaining 
long-term relationships.  We believe that many of our competitors have emphasized retail banking and 
financial services for large companies, leaving the small and mid-sized business market underserved. Our 
consistent focus on the needs of such small and mid-sized businesses, as well as the individuals associated 
with them, has allowed us to compete effectively in this market segment.  

(cid:120) Diversification of products and services.  We offer a wide variety of traditional and nontraditional financial 

products and services in order to meet the financial needs of our customer base, establish new relationships in 
the markets we serve and expand our business opportunities.  We also seek to leverage our existing 
relationships with our banking clients by cross-selling our products and services, as well as offering 
relationship pricing to those clients who utilize a multitude of our products and services. We will continue to 
capitalize on the opportunities presented in the mortgage origination arena. 

(cid:120)

Expand opportunistically.  Our strategy involves growing our banking businesses within the markets that we 
serve and expanding into other attractive markets.  Our strategy also includes offering a broad array of 
personal financial products and services to high net worth individuals and senior managers of the businesses 
with which we have established relationships.  Our current strategies include a focus on expansion in North 
Dakota where we believe the demand for our services is particularly strong due to increased demand 
generated by the oil and gas and agricultural industries and generally favorable economic conditions. In 
Arizona, we will continue to grow organically focusing on small businesses and the SBA arena.    

(cid:120) Managing credit risk.  We adhere to a uniform set of credit standards that are designed to ensure proper 

management of credit risk throughout our organization.  Because we centrally administer our loan policies, 
we have been able to efficiently and continually monitor our loans and the loan review process despite our 
growth within the markets that we serve and our expansion into new markets.  We focus on relationship 
building to grow loans.   

(cid:120)

Emphasize deposit growth.  We emphasize growing low-cost core deposits as a key strategy. Federal 
depository insurance can offer a strategic advantage to banks because it permits them to attract funds at a low 
cost. Historically, we have utilized this advantage to attract stable low cost deposits in each of our banking 
markets. We routinely conduct market surveys to compare our cost of deposits to competitors and attempt to 
price slightly below market. We believe our commitment to high customer service facilitates this approach. 

In recent years, we have expanded our mortgage banking operations. The mortgage banking business can be 
strategically counter cyclical to community banking. For example, low interest rates and government support for 
the housing industry has provided favorable conditions for mortgage banking and, as a result, it has made 
significant contributions to earnings in recent periods. The continuation of these recent favorable mortgage 
banking conditions is subject to uncertainty.

In  2012,  the  Company  was  exceptionally  profitable.    Results  from  core  banking  and  mortgage  banking 

operations  in  2012  were  enhanced  by  a  non-recurring  legal  settlement  and  a  non-recurring  income  tax 

(cid:120) Credit quality stabilized in 2012. In 2011, operations were characterized by lower non-performing assets, 

lower provisions for credit losses, and improved capital ratios at the Bank.  

(cid:120) Net interest income has been decreasing due to lower interest rates which have reduced the net interest 

margin. Our total assets have generally been declining since 2009, but this trend was partially reversed in 

2012. For more information, see discussion of net interest income that follows in the MD&A. 

(cid:120) Non-interest  income  has  been  significantly  impacted  by  gains  on  sales  of  loans  and  mortgage  banking 

revenues.  Decreasing  interest  rates  have  also  facilitated  realized  and  unrealized  gains  on  investment 

securities. Non-interest income in 2012 includes $7.5 million of income associated with a settlement with 

insurance  carriers.    For  more  information,  see  discussion  of  non-interest  income  that  follows  in  the 

benefit. 

MD&A.   

(cid:120) Non-interest expense has been significantly impacted by higher volumes in mortgage banking and higher 

compensation  as  we  have  added  and  rewarded  producers.  In  2012,  professional  fees  also  included  a 

contingent  fee  of  $2.5  million  paid  to  our  advisors  when  insurance  litigation  was  settled.  For  more 

information, see discussion of non-interest expense that follows in the MD&A.   

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

In 2012, we recorded a significant tax benefit when the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets 

was reversed. In future periods, tax expense is expected to be recognized at more normal effective rates. 

In early 2011, we sold certain loans, other assets and deposits in our Arizona and Minnesota markets to 

improve regulatory capital. Since then, regulatory capital ratios have steadily improved. 

In 2011 and 2012, we deferred payments on the Company’s preferred stock and subordinated debentures 

as contractually permitted. We became current on these obligations in early 2013.

In recent years, the ratio of our common stockholders’ equity to total assets has been low and the leverage at the 

holding company has been relatively high. In 2012, earnings have increased common equity, but management 

continues to assess the Company’s capital structure.   

General 

Net income in 2012 was $26.624 million, or $7.52 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.208 million, or 
$0.86 per diluted share in 2011.

Net  interest  income  was  $18.471  million  in  2012  compared  to  $19.477  million  in  2011,  a  decrease  of  $1.006 
million or 5.2%. The net interest margin decreased to 2.85% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 3.11% 
in 2011.  

In 2012, net interest income was lower as the impact of lower interest rates more than offset the impact of higher 
balances  of  assets  and  liabilities.  Interest  expense  in  2012  included  $546  thousand  of  costs  incurred  when  we 
exercised call options on $60 million of brokered deposits to replace them with lower cost deposits. Our ability to 
lower our cost of funds in the future may be limited because interest rates are currently historically low. In 2012, 
earning assets increased as loans held for sale in mortgage banking operations and investments available for sale 
increased when we deployed funds from new deposits and liquidity built in prior periods. As 2012 progressed, we 
increased commercial lending, particularly in North Dakota. 

Net  interest  income  was  $19.477  million  in  2011  compared  to  $23.272  million  in  2010,  a  decrease  of  $3.795 
million or 16.3%. The net interest margin decreased to 3.11% for the year ended December 31, 2011, from 3.20% 
in 2010.

In  2011,  lower  balances  of  assets  and  liabilities  combined  to  reduce  net  interest  income.  Earning  assets  and 

interest  bearing  liabilities  decreased  in  2011  due  to  the  sale  of  loans  described  in  Note  3  of  our  Consolidated 

Financial  Statements.  We  also  stopped  buying  participating  interests.  Investments  increased  as  we  deployed 

liquidity built up in prior periods. In 2011, we were able to reduce interest expense more than interest income was

(a)  Bank charges and service fees increased in 2012 primarily due to growth in new accounts. 

(b)  Mortgage banking revenues have been significant in recent years due to low interest rates and governmental support for the 

housing  market.  In  the  near  term,  we  expect  mortgage  banking  revenues  to  be  elevated.  Over  the  longer  term,  mortgage 

banking revenues may not be sustained at current levels as interest rates will inevitably rise.  

(c) 

In recent years, we have been selling SBA loans at gains as the secondary market is currently acquisitive and the loans can be 

sold for attractive prices. While sales of loans can vary significantly, we currently anticipate sales of SBA loans to continue for 

the foreseeable future.  

(d)  Gains on sales of securities, net vary depending on the nature and volume of transactions. 

(e) 

In 2012, we recognized $7.5 million of revenue associated with settlement of our claims against insurers related to a fraud that 

was perpetrated upon us during 2010.  

(f) 

In 2011, we received a distribution of $300 thousand from an investment in a SBIC fund.

Net  interest  income  was  $18.471  million  in  2012  compared  to  $19.477  million  in  2011,  a  decrease  of  $1.006 

million or 5.2%. The net interest margin decreased to 2.85% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 3.11% 

in 2011.  

In 2012, net interest income was lower as the impact of lower interest rates more than offset the impact of higher 

balances  of  assets  and  liabilities.  Interest  expense  in  2012  included  $546  thousand  of  costs  incurred  when  we 

exercised call options on $60 million of brokered deposits to replace them with lower cost deposits. Our ability to 

lower our cost of funds in the future may be limited because interest rates are currently historically low. In 2012, 

earning assets increased as loans held for sale in mortgage banking operations and investments available for sale 

increased when we deployed funds from new deposits and liquidity built in prior periods. As 2012 progressed, we 

increased commercial lending, particularly in North Dakota. 

Net  interest  income  was  $19.477  million  in  2011  compared  to  $23.272  million  in  2010,  a  decrease  of  $3.795 

million or 16.3%. The net interest margin decreased to 3.11% for the year ended December 31, 2011, from 3.20% 

in 2010.

In  2011,  lower  balances  of  assets  and  liabilities  combined  to  reduce  net  interest  income.  Earning  assets  and 
interest  bearing  liabilities  decreased  in  2011  due  to  the  sale  of  loans  described  in  Note  3  of  our  Consolidated 
Financial  Statements.  We  also  stopped  buying  participating  interests.  Investments  increased  as  we  deployed 
liquidity built up in prior periods. In 2011, we were able to reduce interest expense more than interest income was 
impacted by the low rate environment.

(a)  Compensation  costs  have  increased  due  to  higher  volume  in  mortgage  banking,  additional  mortgage  banking  and  banking 
professionals and incentives accrued for producers. Wages in the North Dakota market are impacted by competitive pressures. 
(b)  Professional services have been elevated due to the costs incurred to investigate and litigate the fraud loss discussed in Note 4 of 
our Consolidated Financial Statements. In 2012, professional fees include $2.5 million of contingent fees paid when insurance 
litigation was settled. Higher volumes in mortgage banking operations also impacted professional fees. 
In 2012, marketing and promotion costs increased in our mortgage banking operations. 

(c) 
(d)  Regulatory costs related to FDIC insurance decreased due to lower deposit balances after the divestiture discussed in Note 3 of

(f)  Other  expenses  increased  due  to  increases  in  the  cost  of  carrying  insurance  and  a  non-recurring  write  off  previously  deferred 

costs associated with a capital offering.  

Income Tax Expense (Benefit) 
The  Company  has  recognized  a  tax  benefit  of  $5.280  million  in  2012,  resulting  primarily  from  the  reversal  of 
virtually all of our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was reversed because we 
had achieved several consecutive profitable periods and the likelihood that future pre-tax earnings will utilize the 
remaining  deferred  tax  assets.  The  tax  benefit  recorded  by  reversing  the  valuation  allowance  was  reduced  by 
estimated income tax expense related to 2012 earnings. Tax expense was $22 thousand in 2011.

(a) Cash balances can vary significantly on a daily basis, but we tend to favor higher liquidity. 
Investments have increased as we have been emphasizing liquidity in recent years. 
(b)
(c)
Investments in these stocks are mandated by third parties. 
(d) Mortgage banking loans held for sale have increased due to higher volume of originations in these operations. 
(e)

In recent years, loans held for investment have decreased as we have attempted to manage credit risk by reducing exposure. In 
later 2012, we began to re-emphasize commercial lending, particularly in North Dakota. 

(f) Other real estate decreased as reducing problem assets has been an area of focus in recent years. See Note 10 of our Consolidated 

Financial Statements. 

(g) Other assets have increased due to the balances of derivatives related to our mortgage banking operations. See Note 18 of our 

Consolidated Financial Statements.

(3)  Maturities  of  mortgage-backed  securities  and  collateralized  obligations  are  based  on  contractual  maturities.  Actual  maturities 

may vary because obligors may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. 

As  of  December  31,  2012,  we  had  $300.5  million  of  available-for-sale  securities  in  the  investment  portfolio 

compared to $242.6 million at December 31, 2011. 

In 2012, investment securities increased as we have deployed funds from new deposits and emphasized liquidity.  

Net unrealized gains increased as of December 31, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011 due to the decline in 

market interest rates and shorter remaining lives of investments.  

In  2011,  investment  securities  increased  as  cash  balances  built  up  in  prior  periods  was  invested  in  order  to 

increase  income  from  earning  assets.    Net  unrealized  gains  increased  as  of  December  31, 2011  as  compared  to 

December 31, 2010 due to the general decline in market interest rates.  During 2011, we realized $2.830 million 

of net gains on sales of securities. While these gains can vary from period to period, we capitalized on conditions 

that had been increasing the value of mortgage based investment portfolios. 

At December  31,  2012,  we held no  securities, other than  U.S.  Government  Agency mortgage-backed securities 

and collateralized mortgage obligations, that exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity.  A portion of our investment 

securities portfolio was pledged as collateral.  

See Note 6 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about investment securities. 

Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines Stock 

Our equity securities consisted of $1.8 million of Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) stock as of December 31, 2012 

and 2011, and $795 thousand and $1.0 million of FHLB of Des Moines stock as of December 31, 2012 and 2011,

Loan Participations 

Pursuant to our lending policy, loans may not exceed 85% of the Bank’s legal lending limit (except to the extent 

collateralized  by  U.S.  Treasury  securities  or  Bank  deposits  and,  accordingly,  excluded  from  the  Bank’s  legal 

lending  limit)  unless  the  Chief  Credit  Officer  and  the  Executive  Credit  Committee  grant  prior  approval.  To 

accommodate customers whose financing needs exceed lending limits and internal loan concentration limits, the 

Bank sells loan participations to outside participants without recourse.  

Loan participations sold on a nonrecourse basis to outside financial institutions were as follows as of December

(a) Mortgage banking loans held for sale increased in 2012 as originations of mortgage banking loans have increased.   
(b) Loan  balances  have  generally  decreased  due  to  repayments,  charge-offs  and  our  efforts  to  reduce  credit  exposures.  As  2012 

progressed we increased commercial lending, particularly in North Dakota.

Loan Participations 
Pursuant to our lending policy, loans may not exceed 85% of the Bank’s legal lending limit (except to the extent 
collateralized  by  U.S.  Treasury  securities  or  Bank  deposits  and,  accordingly,  excluded  from  the  Bank’s  legal 
lending  limit)  unless  the  Chief  Credit  Officer  and  the  Executive  Credit  Committee  grant  prior  approval.  To 
accommodate customers whose financing needs exceed lending limits and internal loan concentration limits, the 
Bank sells loan participations to outside participants without recourse.  

Loan participations sold on a nonrecourse basis to outside financial institutions were as follows as of December 
31 (in thousands):

Provision for Credit Losses 

In recent periods, challenging macroeconomic forces have impaired the ability of borrowers to repay debt which 
resulted in higher credit losses throughout the financial industry. 

We  provide  for  credit  losses  to  maintain  our  allowance  for  credit  losses  at  a  level  adequate  to  cover  estimated 
probable losses inherent in the portfolio as of each balance sheet date. The provision for credit losses for the year 
ended December 31, 2012 was $100 thousand as compared to $1.625 million in 2011. The provision for credit 
losses decreased in 2012 as credit quality stabilized.  

Allowance for Credit Losses 
See  Notes  1  and  9  of  our  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  “Critical  Accounting  Policies”  for  further 
information concerning accounting policies associated with the allowance for credit losses. 

The  following  table  summarizes  activity  in  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  and  certain  ratios  (dollars  are  in

For  several  years,  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  has been  elevated  in  recent  periods  because  of  an  increase  in 

nonperforming assets and deteriorating economic conditions.  

In 2012, the level of nonperforming loans stabilized. At December 31, 2012, nonperforming loans included one 

loan  with  a  balance  of  approximately  $5.8  million  that  is  involved  with  bankruptcy  proceedings.  We  are  well 

collateralized and remain optimistic the courts will ultimately award full recovery.

The table below presents an allocation of the allowance for credit losses among the various loan categories and 

sets forth the percentage of loans in each category to gross loans. The allocation of the allowance for credit losses 

as shown in the table should neither be interpreted as an indication of future charge-offs, nor as an indication that 

charge-offs  in  future  periods  will  necessarily  occur  in  these  amounts  or  in  the  indicated  proportions  as  of 

December 31 (dollars are in thousands).

The  amount  of  the  allowance  for  losses  can  vary  depending  on  macroeconomic  conditions  and  risk  in  the 
portfolio. The allocation of the allowance for losses can vary depending on relative volume of asset groups in the 
portfolio and risks therein.  

Allowance for Credit Losses; Impact on Earnings  
We have established the allowance for credit losses to cover for estimated losses inherent to the loans and lease 
portfolio at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The allowance for credit losses is an estimate based upon 
several judgmental factors. We are not aware of known trends, commitments or other events that could reasonably 
occur that would materially affect our methodology or the assumptions used to estimate the allowance for credit 
losses. However, changes in qualitative and quantitative factors could occur at any time and such changes could 
be  of  a  material  nature.  In  addition,  economic  situations  change,  financial  conditions  of  borrowers  morph  and 
other factors we consider in arriving at our estimates may evolve. To the extent that these matters have negative 
developments, our future earnings could be reduced by high provisions for credit losses.

Non-accrual  loans include  loans  on  which  the  accrual  of  interest  has  been  discontinued.  Accrual  of  interest  is 
discontinued  when  we  believe  that  the  borrower’s  financial  condition  is  such  that  the  collection  of  interest  is 
doubtful. A delinquent loan is generally placed on non-accrual status when it becomes 90 days or more past due 
unless  the  loan  is  well  secured  and  in  the  process  of  collection.  When  a  loan  is  placed  on  non-accrual  status, 
accrued  but  uncollected  interest  income  applicable  to  the  current  reporting  period  is  reversed  against  interest 
income. Accrued but uncollected interest income applicable to previous reporting periods is charged against the 
allowance  for  credit  losses.  No  additional  interest  is  accrued  on  the  loan  balance  until  the  collection  of  both 
principal and interest becomes reasonably certain.

See Note 9 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for information on troubled debt restructuring. 

Other  real  estate  owned  and  repossessed  assets represent  properties  and  other  assets  acquired  through,  or  in 
lieu  of,  loan  foreclosure.  They  are  initially  recorded  at  fair  value  less  cost  to  sell  at  the  date  of  acquisition 
establishing a new cost basis. Write-downs to fair value at the time of acquisition are charged to the allowance for 
credit losses. After foreclosure, we perform valuations periodically and the real estate is recorded at fair value less 
cost  to  sell.  Reductions  to  other  real  estate  owned  and  repossessed  assets  are  considered  valuation  allowances. 
Expenses incurred to record valuation allowances subsequent to foreclosure are charged to non-interest expense.  

See Note 10 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for information on other real estate owned. 

Impaired loans 
See Note 9 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for information on impaired loans.

Potential Problem Loans 
In recent years, the macroeconomic environment is very challenging and asset values were declining throughout 
most of the country. So long as these conditions persist, many loans are potentially problematic assets. 

Notwithstanding the prior paragraph, we attempt to quantify potential problem loans with more immediate credit 
risk. We estimate there are loans risk rated “watch list” which are not impaired aggregating $5.2 million and $5.0 
million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Also, we estimate there are loans risk rated “substandard” 
which are not impaired aggregating $3.1 million and $18.8 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  

A  significant  portion  of  these  potential  problem  loans  are  not  in  default  but  may  have  characteristics  such  as 
recent adverse operating cash flows or general risk characteristics that the loan officer feels might jeopardize the 
future timely collection of principal and interest payments. The ultimate resolution of these credits is subject to 
changes in economic conditions and other factors. These loans are closely monitored to ensure that our position as 
creditor is protected to the fullest extent possible.

(a) Economic conditions in North Dakota, our primary market, have been relatively robust. These types of accounts fluctuate daily 

due to the cash management activities of our customers. As a result, we have experienced growth.

(c) Short-term  borrowings  are  primarily  customer  repurchase  agreements.  These  balances  can  vary  significantly  depending  on

(d)

In  2010,  we  suspended  payment  of  interest  on  our  subordinated  debt.  At  December  31,  2012  and  2011,  respectively, 

approximately $4.8 million and $3.2 million of the balance relates to interest accrued but not paid. We made interest payments in 

early 2013 to get current on these obligations. See Note 17 of our Consolidated Financial Statements. 

(e)

In  2010,  we  suspended  payment  on  our  dividends  to  preferred  stockholders.  At  December  31,  2012  and  2011,  respectively, 

approximately  $3.7  million  and  $2.5  million  of  the  balance  relates  to  dividends  accrued  but  not  paid.  We  made  a  dividend 

payment in mid February 2013 to get current on the preferred stock. See Note 17 of our Consolidated Financial Statements. The 

remainder of the increase relates to a higher reserve for potential mortgage banking obligations (See Note 20 of our Consolidated 

Financial Statement), accounts payable, and accrued incentives for producers. 

(f) Other liabilities decreased $2.1 million due to the decrease in the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives.  See Note 19 of our 

Consolidated Financial Statements.  The 2011 balance also included approximately $900,000 of funds held in suspense until they 

could be applied. 

(g) The increase in stockholder equity relates primarily to earnings. Managing capital has been a focus of management in recent 

periods and this will continue in the future. Management will continue to evaluate the capital condition of the Company. 

Mortgage Banking Obligations 

Included  in accrued expenses, is an estimate of mortgage banking reimbursement obligations which aggregated 

$1.5  million  and  $800,000  at  December  31,  2012  and  2011,  respectively.  Although  we  sell  mortgage  banking 

loans without recourse, industry standards require standard representations and warranties which require sellers to 

reimburse investors for economic losses if loans default or prepay after the sale. To estimate the obligation, we 

track  historical  reimbursements  and  calculate  the  ratio  of  reimbursement  to  loan  production  volumes.  Using 

reimbursement ratios and recent production levels, we estimate the future reimbursement amounts and record the 

estimated obligation. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
Non-accrual  loans include  loans  on  which  the  accrual  of  interest  has  been  discontinued.  Accrual  of  interest  is 

discontinued  when  we  believe  that  the  borrower’s  financial  condition  is  such  that  the  collection  of  interest  is 

doubtful. A delinquent loan is generally placed on non-accrual status when it becomes 90 days or more past due 

unless  the  loan  is  well  secured  and  in  the  process  of  collection.  When  a  loan  is  placed  on  non-accrual  status, 

accrued  but  uncollected  interest  income  applicable  to  the  current  reporting  period  is  reversed  against  interest 

income. Accrued but uncollected interest income applicable to previous reporting periods is charged against the 

allowance  for  credit  losses.  No  additional  interest  is  accrued  on  the  loan  balance  until  the  collection  of  both 

principal and interest becomes reasonably certain.

See Note 9 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for information on troubled debt restructuring. 

Other  real  estate  owned  and  repossessed  assets represent  properties  and  other  assets  acquired  through,  or  in 

lieu  of,  loan  foreclosure.  They  are  initially  recorded  at  fair  value  less  cost  to  sell  at  the  date  of  acquisition 

establishing a new cost basis. Write-downs to fair value at the time of acquisition are charged to the allowance for 

credit losses. After foreclosure, we perform valuations periodically and the real estate is recorded at fair value less 

cost  to  sell.  Reductions  to  other  real  estate  owned  and  repossessed  assets  are  considered  valuation  allowances. 

Expenses incurred to record valuation allowances subsequent to foreclosure are charged to non-interest expense.  

See Note 10 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for information on other real estate owned. 

See Note 9 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for information on impaired loans.

Impaired loans 

Potential Problem Loans 

In recent years, the macroeconomic environment is very challenging and asset values were declining throughout 

most of the country. So long as these conditions persist, many loans are potentially problematic assets. 

Notwithstanding the prior paragraph, we attempt to quantify potential problem loans with more immediate credit 

risk. We estimate there are loans risk rated “watch list” which are not impaired aggregating $5.2 million and $5.0 

million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Also, we estimate there are loans risk rated “substandard” 

which are not impaired aggregating $3.1 million and $18.8 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  

A  significant  portion  of  these  potential  problem  loans  are  not  in  default  but  may  have  characteristics  such  as 

recent adverse operating cash flows or general risk characteristics that the loan officer feels might jeopardize the 

future timely collection of principal and interest payments. The ultimate resolution of these credits is subject to 

changes in economic conditions and other factors. These loans are closely monitored to ensure that our position as 

creditor is protected to the fullest extent possible.

See  Note  2  of  our  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  a  discussion  of  regulatory  capital  and  the  current 

The  Federal  Reserve  has  recently  issued  a  Notice  of  Proposed  Rulemaking  (NPR)  which  would  significantly 

change  regulatory  capital  calculations  for  community  banks.  The  NPR  would  require  community  banks  to 

incorporate provisions of the BASEL III framework when calculating regulatory capital. We have not completed 

our  assessment  of  the  NPR,  but  it  is  generally  believed  the  proposed  standards  would  impose  higher  capital 

requirements  and  impose  significantly  more  complex  calculations  when  deriving  regulatory  capital  ratios.  The 

NPR is currently subject to a comment period. 

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  we  are  a  party  to  various  financial  instruments  with  off-balance-sheet  risk. 

These instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, performance and financial 

standby letters of credit and interest rate swaps, caps and floors. Such instruments help us to meet the needs of our 

customers, manage our interest rate risk and effectuate various transactions. These instruments and commitments, 

which we enter into for purposes other than trading, carry varying degrees of credit, interest rate or liquidity risk. 

See  Notes  20  and  21  of  our  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  a  detailed  description  of  each  of  these 

instruments. 

Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments 

We are a party to financial instruments with risks that can be subdivided into two categories: 

Cash  financial  instruments,  generally  characterized  as  on-balance-sheet  items,  include  investments,  loans, 

mortgage-backed securities, deposits and debt obligations. 

Credit-related  financial  instruments,  generally  characterized  as  off-balance-sheet  items,  include  such 

instruments  as  commitments  to  extend  credit,  commercial  letters  of  credit  and  performance  and  financial 

standby letters of credit. See Note 20 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2010, we were attempting to reduce deposits to improve capital ratios either by selling the deposits or reducing 

rates  paid.  Since  the  middle  of  2011,  we  have  returned  to  growing  deposits  and  throughout  2012  we  have 

attempted to capitalize on economic growth in North Dakota. 

Time deposits, in denominations of $100,000 and over, totaled $76.8 million at December 31, 2012 as compared 

to $62.1 million at December 31, 2011. The following table sets forth the amount and maturities of time deposits

See  Note  2  of  our  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  a  discussion  of  regulatory  capital  and  the  current 
operating environment. Improving capital ratios has been a focus of management in recent years. 

The  Federal  Reserve  has  recently  issued  a  Notice  of  Proposed  Rulemaking  (NPR)  which  would  significantly 
change  regulatory  capital  calculations  for  community  banks.  The  NPR  would  require  community  banks  to 
incorporate provisions of the BASEL III framework when calculating regulatory capital. We have not completed 
our  assessment  of  the  NPR,  but  it  is  generally  believed  the  proposed  standards  would  impose  higher  capital 
requirements  and  impose  significantly  more  complex  calculations  when  deriving  regulatory  capital  ratios.  The 
NPR is currently subject to a comment period. 

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  we  are  a  party  to  various  financial  instruments  with  off-balance-sheet  risk. 
These instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, performance and financial 
standby letters of credit and interest rate swaps, caps and floors. Such instruments help us to meet the needs of our 
customers, manage our interest rate risk and effectuate various transactions. These instruments and commitments, 
which we enter into for purposes other than trading, carry varying degrees of credit, interest rate or liquidity risk. 
See  Notes  20  and  21  of  our  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  a  detailed  description  of  each  of  these 
instruments. 

Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments 
We are a party to financial instruments with risks that can be subdivided into two categories: 

Cash  financial  instruments,  generally  characterized  as  on-balance-sheet  items,  include  investments,  loans, 
mortgage-backed securities, deposits and debt obligations. 

Credit-related  financial  instruments,  generally  characterized  as  off-balance-sheet  items,  include  such 
instruments  as  commitments  to  extend  credit,  commercial  letters  of  credit  and  performance  and  financial 
standby letters of credit. See Note 20 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity  risk  is  the  possibility  of  being  unable  to  meet  all  present  and  future  financial  obligations  in  a  timely 
manner. Liquidity risk management encompasses our ability to meet all present and future financial obligations in 
a timely manner. The objectives of liquidity management policies are to maintain adequate liquid assets, liability

funds market and the retail deposit market.  

The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the Consolidated Financial Statements present data on cash and 
cash  equivalents  provided  by  and  used  in  operating,  investing  and  financing  activities.  In  addition  to  liquidity 
from core deposit growth, together with repayments and maturities of loans and investments, we utilize brokered 
deposits,  sell  securities  under  agreements  to  repurchase  and  borrow  overnight  Federal  funds.  The  Bank  is  a 
member of the FHLB of Des Moines. Advances from the FHLB are collateralized by the Bank’s mortgage loans 
and  various  investment  securities.  We  have  also  obtained  funding  through  the  issuance  of  subordinated  notes, 
subordinated debentures and long-term borrowings. 

Our liquidity is defined by our ability to meet our cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost and with a 
minimum  loss  of  income.  Given  the  uncertain  nature  of  our  customers’  demands  as  well  as  our  desire  to  take 
advantage  of  earnings  enhancement  opportunities,  we  must  have  adequate  sources  of  on-  and  off-balance-sheet 
funds that can be acquired in time of need. 

We measure our liquidity position on an as needed basis, but no less frequently than monthly. We measure our 
liquidity position using the total of the following items: 

1. Estimated liquid assets less estimated volatile liabilities using the aforementioned methodology ($166.8 

million as of December 31, 2012); 

2. Borrowing capacity from the FHLB ($47.9 million as of December 31, 2012); and 
3. Capacity to issue brokered deposits with maturities of less than 12 months ($102.8 million as of 

December 31, 2012).

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Net Interest Income Simulation 

Market  risk  arises  from  changes  in  interest  rates,  exchange  rates,  and  commodity  prices  and  equity  prices  and 
represents the possibility that changes in future market rates or prices will have a negative impact on our earnings 
or value. Our principal market risk is interest rate risk. 

Interest rate risk arises from changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk can result from: (1) Repricing risk – timing 
differences  in the maturity/repricing of  assets, liabilities, and off-balance-sheet contracts; (2) Options risk – the 
effect  of  embedded  options,  such  as  loan  prepayments,  interest  rate  caps/floors,  and  deposit  withdrawals;  (3) 
Basis risk – risk resulting from unexpected changes in the spread between two or more different rates of similar 
maturity, and the resulting impact on the behavior of lending and funding rates; and (4) Yield curve risk – risk 
resulting from unexpected changes in the spread between two or more rates of different maturities from the same 
type of instrument. We have risk management policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk. To date 
we have not conducted trading activities as a means of managing interest rate risk. Our asset/liability management 
process is utilized to manage our interest rate risk. The measurement of interest rate risk associated with financial 
instruments  is  meaningful  only  when  all  related  and  offsetting  on-and  off-balance-sheet  transactions  are 
aggregated, and the resulting net positions are identified.  

Our  interest  rate  risk  exposure  is  actively  managed  with  the  objective  of  managing  the  level  and  potential 
volatility of net interest income in addition to the long-term growth of equity, bearing in mind that we will always 
be  in  the  business  of  taking  on  rate  risk  and  that  rate  risk  immunization  is  not  entirely  possible.  Also,  it  is 
recognized that as exposure to interest rate risk is reduced, so too may the overall level of net interest income and 
equity. In general, the assets and liabilities generated through ordinary business activities do not naturally create 
offsetting positions with respect to repricing or maturity characteristics. Access to the derivatives market can be 
an  important  element  in  maintaining  our  interest  rate  risk  position  within  policy  guidelines.  Using  derivative 
instruments, principally interest rate floors, caps, and interest rate swaps, the interest rate sensitivity of specific 
transactions,  as  well  as  pools  of  assets  or  liabilities,  can  be  adjusted  to  maintain  the  desired  interest  rate  risk 
profile. See Note 1 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of our accounting policies pertaining 
to such instruments.  

Our primary tool for measuring and managing interest rate risk is net interest income simulation. This exercise 
includes  our  assumptions  regarding  the  changes  in  interest  rates  and  the  impact  on  our  current  balance  sheet. 
Interest rate caps and floors are included to the extent that they are exercised in the 12-month simulation period. 

Additionally,  changes  in  prepayment  behavior  of  the  residential  mortgage,  CMOs,  and  mortgage-backed 

securities  portfolios  in  each  rate  environment  are  captured  using  industry  estimates  of  prepayment  speeds  for 

various coupon segments of the portfolio. For purposes of this simulation, projected month end balances of the 

various  balance  sheet  accounts  are  held  constant  at  their  December  31,  2012  levels.  Cash  flows  from  a  given 

account are reinvested back into the same account so as to keep the month end balance constant at its December 

31, 2012 level. The static balance sheet assumption is made so as to project the interest rate risk to net interest 

income  embedded  in  the  existing  balance  sheet.  With  knowledge  of  the  balance  sheet’s  existing  net  interest 

income profile, more informed strategies and tactics may be developed as it relates to the structure/mix of growth. 

We  monitor  the  results  of  net  interest  income  simulation  on  a  regular  basis.  Net  interest  income  is  generally 

simulated for the upcoming 12-month horizon in seven interest rate scenarios. The scenarios generally modeled 

are parallel interest rate ramps of +/- 100bp, 200bp, and 300bp along with a rates unchanged scenario. Given the 

current  low  absolute  level  of  interest  rates  as  of  December  31,  2012,  the  downward  scenarios  for  interest  rate 

movements is limited to -100bp but a +400bp scenario has been added. The parallel movement of interest rates 

means all projected market interest rates move up or down by the same amount. A ramp in interest rates means 

that  the  projected  change  in  market  interest  rates  occurs  over  the  12-month  horizon  on  a  pro-rata  basis.  For 

example,  in  the  +100bp  scenario,  the  projected  Prime  rate  is  projected  to  increase  from  3.25%  to  4.25%  12 

months later. The Prime rate in this example will increase 1/12th of the overall increase of 100 basis points each

Since  there  are  limitations  inherent  in  any  methodology  used  to  estimate  the  exposure  to  changes  in  market 

interest  rates,  these  analyses  are  not  intended  to  be  a  forecast  of  the  actual  effect  of  changes  in  market  interest 

rates such as those indicated above on the Company. Further, these analyses are based on our assets and liabilities 

as  of  December  31,  2012  (without  forward  adjustments  for  planned  growth  and  anticipated  business  activities) 

and do not contemplate any actions we might undertake in response to changes in market interest rates. 

Static  gap  analysis  is  another  tool  that  may  be  used  for  interest  rate  risk  measurement.  The  net  differences 

between the amount of assets, liabilities, equity and off-balance-sheet instruments repricing within a cumulative 

calendar period is typically referred to as the “rate sensitivity position” or “gap position.” The following table sets 

forth  our  rate  sensitivity  position  as  of  December  31,  2012.  Assets  and  liabilities  are  classified  by  the  earliest 

possible repricing date or maturity, whichever occurs first.

various  balance  sheet  accounts  are  held  constant  at  their  December  31,  2012  levels.  Cash  flows  from  a  given 
account are reinvested back into the same account so as to keep the month end balance constant at its December 
31, 2012 level. The static balance sheet assumption is made so as to project the interest rate risk to net interest 
income  embedded  in  the  existing  balance  sheet.  With  knowledge  of  the  balance  sheet’s  existing  net  interest 
income profile, more informed strategies and tactics may be developed as it relates to the structure/mix of growth. 

We  monitor  the  results  of  net  interest  income  simulation  on  a  regular  basis.  Net  interest  income  is  generally 
simulated for the upcoming 12-month horizon in seven interest rate scenarios. The scenarios generally modeled 
are parallel interest rate ramps of +/- 100bp, 200bp, and 300bp along with a rates unchanged scenario. Given the 
current  low  absolute  level  of  interest  rates  as  of  December  31,  2012,  the  downward  scenarios  for  interest  rate 
movements is limited to -100bp but a +400bp scenario has been added. The parallel movement of interest rates 
means all projected market interest rates move up or down by the same amount. A ramp in interest rates means 
that  the  projected  change  in  market  interest  rates  occurs  over  the  12-month  horizon  on  a  pro-rata  basis.  For 
example,  in  the  +100bp  scenario,  the  projected  Prime  rate  is  projected  to  increase  from  3.25%  to  4.25%  12 
months later. The Prime rate in this example will increase 1/12th of the overall increase of 100 basis points each 
month.  

The net interest income simulation result for the 12-month horizon that covers the calendar year of 2012 is shown 
below:

Since  there  are  limitations  inherent  in  any  methodology  used  to  estimate  the  exposure  to  changes  in  market 
interest  rates,  these  analyses  are  not  intended  to  be  a  forecast  of  the  actual  effect  of  changes  in  market  interest 
rates such as those indicated above on the Company. Further, these analyses are based on our assets and liabilities 
as  of  December  31,  2012  (without  forward  adjustments  for  planned  growth  and  anticipated  business  activities) 
and do not contemplate any actions we might undertake in response to changes in market interest rates. 

Static  gap  analysis  is  another  tool  that  may  be  used  for  interest  rate  risk  measurement.  The  net  differences 
between the amount of assets, liabilities, equity and off-balance-sheet instruments repricing within a cumulative 
calendar period is typically referred to as the “rate sensitivity position” or “gap position.” The following table sets 
forth  our  rate  sensitivity  position  as  of  December  31,  2012.  Assets  and  liabilities  are  classified  by  the  earliest 
possible repricing date or maturity, whichever occurs first. 

Forward-Looking Statements  

Statements  included  in  “Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of 

Operations” which are not historical in nature are intended to be, and are hereby identified as “forward-looking 

statements” for purposes of the safe harbor provided by  Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 

21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We caution readers that these forward-looking statements, including 

without  limitation,  those  relating  to  our  future  business  prospects,  revenues,  working  capital,  liquidity,  capital 

needs, interest costs, income and expenses, are subject to  certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual 

results  to  differ  materially  from  those  indicated  in  the  forward-looking  statements  due  to  several  important 

factors.  These  factors  include,  but  are  not  limited  to:    risks  of  loans  and  investments,  including  dependence  on 

local and regional economic conditions; competition for our customers from other providers of financial services; 

possible adverse effects of changes in interest rates including the effects of such changes on derivative contracts 

and  associated  accounting  consequences;  risks  associated  with  our  acquisition  and  growth  strategies;  and  other 

risks which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.

related impact on the Company. 

Market  risk  arises  from  changes  in  interest  rates,  exchange  rates,  and  commodity  prices  and  equity  prices  and 

represents the possibility that changes in future market rates or prices will have a negative impact on our earnings 

or value. Our principal market risk is interest rate risk. 

Interest rate risk arises from changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk can result from: (1) Repricing risk – timing 

differences in the maturity/repricing of assets, liabilities, and off-balance-sheet contracts; (2) Options risk – the 

effect  of  embedded  options,  such  as  loan  prepayments,  interest  rate  caps/floors,  and  deposit  withdrawals;  (3) 

Basis risk – risk resulting from unexpected changes in the spread between two or more different rates of similar 

maturity, and the resulting impact on the behavior of lending and funding rates; and (4) Yield curve risk – risk 

resulting from unexpected changes in the spread between two or more rates of different maturities from the same 

type of instrument. We have risk management policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk. To date 

we have not conducted trading activities as a means of managing interest rate risk. Our asset/liability management 

process is utilized to manage our interest rate risk. The measurement of interest rate risk associated with financial 

instruments  is  meaningful  only  when  all  related  and  offsetting  on-and  off-balance-sheet  transactions  are 

aggregated, and the resulting net positions are identified.  

Our  interest  rate  risk  exposure  is  actively  managed  with  the  objective  of  managing  the  level  and  potential 

volatility of net interest income in addition to the long-term growth of equity, bearing in mind that we will always 

be  in  the  business  of  taking  on  rate  risk  and  that  rate  risk  immunization  is  not  entirely  possible.  Also,  it  is 

recognized that as exposure to interest rate risk is reduced, so too may the overall level of net interest income and 

equity. In general, the assets and liabilities generated through ordinary business activities do not naturally create 

offsetting positions with respect to repricing or maturity characteristics. Access to the derivatives market can be 

an  important  element  in  maintaining  our  interest  rate  risk  position  within  policy  guidelines.  Using  derivative 

instruments, principally interest rate floors, caps, and interest rate swaps, the interest rate sensitivity of specific 

transactions,  as  well  as  pools  of  assets  or  liabilities,  can  be  adjusted  to  maintain  the  desired  interest  rate  risk 

profile. See Note 1 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of our accounting policies pertaining 

to such instruments.  

Our primary tool for measuring and managing interest rate risk is net interest income simulation. This exercise 

includes  our  assumptions  regarding  the  changes  in  interest  rates  and  the  impact  on  our  current  balance  sheet. 

Interest rate caps and floors are included to the extent that they are exercised in the 12-month simulation period.

The table assumes that all savings and interest-bearing demand deposits reprice in the earliest period presented, 

however, we believe a significant portion of these accounts constitute a core component and are generally not rate 

sensitive. Our position is supported by the fact that reductions in interest rates paid on these deposits historically 

have not caused notable reductions in balances in net interest income because the repricing of certain assets and 

liabilities  is  discretionary  and  is  subject  to  competitive  and  other  pressures.  As  a  result,  assets  and  liabilities 

indicated as repricing within the same period may in fact reprice at different times and at different rate levels. 

Static  gap  analysis  does  not  fully  capture  the  impact  of  embedded  options,  lagged  interest  rate  changes, 

administered interest rate products, or certain off-balance-sheet sensitivities to interest rate movements. Therefore, 

this  tool  generally  cannot  be  used  in  isolation  to  determine  the  level  of  interest  rate  risk  exposure  in  banking 

institutions.  

Since  there  are  limitations  inherent  in  any  methodology  used  to  estimate  the  exposure  to  changes  in  market

Independent Auditors’ Report

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  of  BNCCORP,  INC.  and  its 

subsidiaries (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 

2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, 

and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  these  consolidated  financial 

statements  in  accordance  with  U.S. generally  accepted  accounting  principles;  this  includes  the  design, 

implementation,  and  maintenance  of  internal  control  relevant  to  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of

consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of 

America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about 

whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the 

consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the 

assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to 

fraud  or  error.  In  making  those  risk  assessments,  the  auditor  considers  internal  control  relevant  to  the 

entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit 

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on 

the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also

includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant 

accounting  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the 

consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 

audit opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

NOTE 1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business 

BNCCORP, INC. (BNCCORP) is a registered bank holding company incorporated under the laws of Delaware. It 

is  the  parent  company  of  BNC  National  Bank  (together  with  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary,  BNC  Insurance 

Services,  Inc.,  collectively,  the  Bank).  BNCCORP  operates  community  banking  and  wealth  management 

businesses in Arizona, Minnesota and North Dakota from 14 locations. The Bank also conducts mortgage banking 

from 12 locations in Arizona, Minnesota, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri.  

The consolidated financial statements included herein are for BNCCORP and its subsidiaries. The accounting and 

reporting  policies  of  BNCCORP  and  its  subsidiaries  (collectively,  the  Company)  conform  to  U.S.  generally 

accepted accounting principles and general practices within the financial services industry. The more significant 

accounting policies are summarized below. 

Principles of Consolidation 

The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  BNCCORP  and  its  wholly  owned 

subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  

Use of Estimates 

The  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting 

principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 

liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported 

amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting  period.  Significant  items  subject  to  such  estimates  and 

assumptions include the allowance for credit losses, valuation of other real estate, reserve for potential mortgage 

banking  obligations,  fair  values  of  financial  instruments  (including  derivatives),  impairment  of  investments, 

income taxes, and the useful lives of premises and equipment. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Critical  accounting  policies  are  significantly  dependent  on  subjective  assessments  or  estimates  that  may  be 

susceptible to significant change. The following items have been identified as “critical accounting policies”. 

Allowance for Credit Losses  

The Bank maintains its allowance for credit losses at a level considered adequate to provide for probable losses 

related to the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet dates. The loan and lease portfolio and other credit 

exposures are reviewed regularly to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.  

The  methodology used  to establish  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  incorporates  quantitative and  qualitative  risk 

considerations.  Quantitative  factors  include  our  historical  loss  experience,  delinquency  information,  charge-off 

trends, collateral values, changes in nonperforming loans and other factors. Quantitative factors also incorporate 

known  information  about  individual  borrowers,  including  sensitivity  to  interest  rate  movements  or  other 

quantifiable external factors. 

Qualitative factors include the general economic environment, the state of certain industries and factors unique to 

our market areas. Size, complexity of individual credits, loan structure, variances from loan policies and pace of 

portfolio growth are other qualitative factors that are considered when we estimate the allowance for credit losses. 

Our methodology has been consistently applied. However, we enhance our methodology as circumstances dictate 

to keep pace with the complexity of the portfolio.  

The allowance for credit losses has three components as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

NOTE 1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business 
BNCCORP, INC. (BNCCORP) is a registered bank holding company incorporated under the laws of Delaware. It 
is  the  parent  company  of  BNC  National  Bank  (together  with  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary,  BNC  Insurance 
Services,  Inc.,  collectively,  the  Bank).  BNCCORP  operates  community  banking  and  wealth  management 
businesses in Arizona, Minnesota and North Dakota from 14 locations. The Bank also conducts mortgage banking 
from 12 locations in Arizona, Minnesota, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri.  

The consolidated financial statements included herein are for BNCCORP and its subsidiaries. The accounting and 
reporting  policies  of  BNCCORP  and  its  subsidiaries  (collectively,  the  Company)  conform  to  U.S.  generally 
accepted accounting principles and general practices within the financial services industry. The more significant 
accounting policies are summarized below. 

Principles of Consolidation 
The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  BNCCORP  and  its  wholly  owned 
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  

Use of Estimates 
The  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting 
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported 
amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reporting  period.  Significant  items  subject  to  such  estimates  and 
assumptions include the allowance for credit losses, valuation of other real estate, reserve for potential mortgage 
banking  obligations,  fair  values  of  financial  instruments  (including  derivatives),  impairment  of  investments, 
income taxes, and the useful lives of premises and equipment. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Critical  accounting  policies  are  significantly  dependent  on  subjective  assessments  or  estimates  that  may  be 
susceptible to significant change. The following items have been identified as “critical accounting policies”. 

Allowance for Credit Losses  
The Bank maintains its allowance for credit losses at a level considered adequate to provide for probable losses 
related to the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet dates. The loan and lease portfolio and other credit 
exposures are reviewed regularly to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.  

The  methodology used  to establish  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  incorporates  quantitative and  qualitative  risk 
considerations.  Quantitative  factors  include  our  historical  loss  experience,  delinquency  information,  charge-off 
trends, collateral values, changes in nonperforming loans and other factors. Quantitative factors also incorporate

our market areas. Size, complexity of individual credits, loan structure, variances from loan policies and pace of 
portfolio growth are other qualitative factors that are considered when we estimate the allowance for credit losses. 

Our methodology has been consistently applied. However, we enhance our methodology as circumstances dictate 
to keep pace with the complexity of the portfolio.  

The allowance for credit losses has three components as follows:

Specific  Reserves. The  amount  of  specific  reserves  is  determined  through  a  loan-by-loan  analysis  of 
problematic loans over a minimum size. Included in problem loans are non-accrual or renegotiated loans that 
meet the impairment criteria in FASB ASC 310. A loan is impaired when, based on current information, it is 
probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan 
agreement. Any allowance on impaired loans is generally based on one of three methods: the present value of 
expected cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of 
the  collateral  of  the  loan.  Specific  reserves  may  also  be  established  for  credits  that  have  been  internally 
classified as credits requiring management’s attention due to underlying problems in the borrower’s business 
or collateral concerns. 

Reserves for Homogeneous Loan Pools. The Bank makes a significant number of loans and leases that, due 
to  their  underlying  similar  characteristics,  are  assessed  for  loss  as  “homogeneous”  pools.  Included  in  the 
homogeneous pools are loans which have been excluded from the specific reserve allocation.  

Qualitative  Reserve.  Management  also  allocates  reserves  for  other  circumstances  pertaining  to  the 
measurement  period.  The  factors  considered  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  prevailing  trends,  economic 
conditions, geographic influence, industry segments within the portfolio, management’s assessment of credit 
risk inherent in the loan portfolio, delinquency data, historical loss experience and peer-group information. 

Monitoring  loans  and  analysis  of  loss  components  are  the  principal  means  by  which  management  determines 
estimated credit losses are reflected in the Bank’s allowance for credit losses on a timely basis. Management also 
considers  regulatory  guidance  in  addition  to  the  Bank’s  own  experience.  Various  regulatory  agencies,  as  an 
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may 
require additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their 
examination. 

Loans, leases and other extensions of credit deemed uncollectible are charged off against the allowance for losses. 
Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.  

The  allowance  for  credit  losses  is  highly  dependent  upon  variables  affecting  valuation,  including  appraisals  of 
collateral,  evaluations  of  performance  as  well  as  the  amounts  and  timing  of  future  cash  flows  expected  to  be 
received on impaired loans. These variables are reviewed periodically. Actual losses may vary from the current 
estimated  allowance  for  credit  losses.  For  nonperforming or  impaired  loans,  appraisals  are  generally  performed 
annually  or  whenever  circumstances  warrant  a  new  appraisal.  Management  regularly  evaluates  the  appraised 
value  and  costs  to  liquidate  in  order  to  estimate  fair  value.  A  provision  for  credit  losses  is  made  to  adjust  the 
allowance to the amount determined appropriate through application of the above processes. 

Income Taxes 
The Company files consolidated federal and unitary state income tax returns.  

The  determination  of  current  and  deferred  income  taxes  is  based  on  analyses  of  many  factors  including 
interpretation of federal and state income tax laws, differences between tax and financial reporting basis of assets 
and  liabilities,  expected  reversals  of  temporary  differences,  estimates  of  amounts  due  or  owed  and  current 
financial  accounting  standards.  Actual  results  could  differ  significantly  from  the  estimates  and  interpretations 
used in determining the current and deferred income taxes.  

Deferred  income  taxes  are  accounted  for  using  the  asset  and  liability  method.  Under  this  method,  deferred  tax 
assets  and  liabilities  are  recognized  for  the  future  tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the 
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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 of a change in tax rates on 
deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  

Management  assesses  net  deferred  tax  assets  to  determine  whether  they  are  realizable  based  upon  accounting 
standards  and  specific  facts  and  circumstances.  A  valuation  allowance  is  established  to  reduce  net  deferred  tax 
assets to amounts that are more likely than not expected to be realized.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

Declines  in  the  fair  value  of  individual  available-for-sale  or  held-to-maturity  securities  below  amortized  cost, 

which  are  deemed  other-than-temporary,  could  result  in  a  charge  to  earnings  and  establishment  of  a  new  cost 

basis. Write-downs for other-than-temporary impairment are recorded  in  non-interest  income as  realized  losses. 

The Company assesses available information about our securities to determine whether impairment is other-than-

temporary. The information we consider includes, but is not limited to, the following: 

(cid:120) Recent and expected performance of the securities; 

(cid:120) Financial condition of issuers or guarantors; 

(cid:120) Seniority of invested tranches and subordinated credit support; 

(cid:120) Recent cash flows; 

(cid:120) Vintage of origination; 

(cid:120) Location of collateral; 

(cid:120) Ratings of securities (ratings are not relied upon);  

(cid:120) Value of underlying collateral; 

(cid:120) Delinquency and foreclosure data; 

(cid:120) Historical losses and estimated severity of future losses; 

(cid:120) Credit surveillance data which summarize retrospective performance; and 

(cid:120) Anticipated future cash flows and prospective performance assessments. 

Determining  whether  other-than-temporary  impairment  has  occurred  requires  judgment  of  factors  that  may 

indicate  an  impairment  loss  has  incurred.  The  Company  adopted  the  guidance  on  other-than-temporary 

impairments  Accounting  Standards  Codification  (ASC)  320,  Investments-Debt  and  Equity  Securities,  which 

amended the accounting  for other-than-temporary impairments into  credit-related and other  factors. Any credit-

related impairments are realized through  a  charge to earnings. The amount of non-credit related impairments is 

recognized through comprehensive income, net of income taxes. 

Note 6 to these consolidated financial statements includes a summary of investment securities in a loss position at 

December 31, 2012 and 2011. 

Fair Value 

Several  accounting  standards require recording  assets and liabilities  based on  their fair values.  Determining the 

fair  value  of  assets  and  liabilities  can  be  highly  subjective.  The  Company  utilizes  valuation  techniques  that 

maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The 

Company determines  fair  value  based  on  assumptions  that  market  participants  would  use  in  pricing  an asset  or 

liability in the principal or most advantageous market. 

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value and establishes a framework for 

measuring  fair  value  of  assets  and  liabilities  using  a  hierarchy  system  consisting  of  three  levels  based  on  the 

markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair 

value.  These levels are: 

Level 1:  Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets that the 

Company has the ability to access. 

Level 2:  Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices 

for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques 

for which significant assumptions are observable in the market. 

Level  3:    Valuation  is  generated  from  model-based  techniques  that  use  significant  assumptions  not 

observable in the market and are used only to the extent that observable inputs are not available. These 

unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in 

pricing the asset or liability.  

Management  assigns  a  level  to  assets  and  liabilities  accounted  for  at  fair  value  and  uses  the  methodologies 

prescribed by ASC 820 to determine fair value.

Specific  Reserves. The  amount  of  specific  reserves  is  determined  through  a  loan-by-loan  analysis  of 

problematic loans over a minimum size. Included in problem loans are non-accrual or renegotiated loans that 

meet the impairment criteria in FASB ASC 310. A loan is impaired when, based on current information, it is 

probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan 

agreement. Any allowance on impaired loans is generally based on one of three methods: the present value of 

expected cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of 

the  collateral  of  the  loan.  Specific  reserves  may  also  be  established  for  credits  that  have  been  internally 

classified as credits requiring management’s attention due to underlying problems in the borrower’s business 

or collateral concerns. 

Reserves for Homogeneous Loan Pools. The Bank makes a significant number of loans and leases that, due 

to  their  underlying  similar  characteristics,  are  assessed  for  loss  as  “homogeneous”  pools.  Included  in  the 

homogeneous pools are loans which have been excluded from the specific reserve allocation.  

Qualitative  Reserve.  Management  also  allocates  reserves  for  other  circumstances  pertaining  to  the 

measurement  period.  The  factors  considered  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  prevailing  trends,  economic 

conditions, geographic influence, industry segments within the portfolio, management’s assessment of credit 

risk inherent in the loan portfolio, delinquency data, historical loss experience and peer-group information. 

Monitoring  loans  and  analysis  of  loss  components  are  the  principal  means  by  which  management  determines 

estimated credit losses are reflected in the Bank’s allowance for credit losses on a timely basis. Management also 

considers  regulatory  guidance  in  addition  to  the  Bank’s  own  experience.  Various  regulatory  agencies,  as  an 

integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may 

require additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their 

examination. 

Loans, leases and other extensions of credit deemed uncollectible are charged off against the allowance for losses. 

Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.  

The  allowance  for  credit  losses  is  highly  dependent  upon  variables  affecting  valuation,  including  appraisals  of 

collateral,  evaluations  of  performance  as  well  as  the  amounts  and  timing  of  future  cash  flows  expected  to  be 

received on impaired loans. These variables are reviewed periodically. Actual losses may vary from the current 

estimated  allowance  for  credit  losses.  For  nonperforming or  impaired  loans,  appraisals  are  generally  performed 

annually  or  whenever  circumstances  warrant  a  new  appraisal.  Management  regularly  evaluates  the  appraised 

value  and  costs  to  liquidate  in  order  to  estimate  fair  value.  A  provision  for  credit  losses  is  made  to  adjust  the 

allowance to the amount determined appropriate through application of the above processes. 

Income Taxes 

The Company files consolidated federal and unitary state income tax returns.  

The  determination  of  current  and  deferred  income  taxes  is  based  on  analyses  of  many  factors  including 

interpretation of federal and state income tax laws, differences between tax and financial reporting basis of assets 

and  liabilities,  expected  reversals  of  temporary  differences,  estimates  of  amounts  due  or  owed  and  current 

financial  accounting  standards.  Actual  results  could  differ  significantly  from  the  estimates  and  interpretations 

used in determining the current and deferred income taxes.  

Deferred  income  taxes  are  accounted  for  using  the  asset  and  liability  method.  Under  this  method,  deferred  tax 

assets  and  liabilities  are  recognized  for  the  future  tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the 

financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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 of a change in tax rates on 

deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  

Management  assesses  net  deferred  tax  assets  to  determine  whether  they  are  realizable  based  upon  accounting 

standards  and  specific  facts  and  circumstances.  A  valuation  allowance  is  established  to  reduce  net  deferred  tax 

assets to amounts that are more likely than not expected to be realized.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
Declines  in  the  fair  value  of  individual  available-for-sale  or  held-to-maturity  securities  below  amortized  cost, 
which  are  deemed  other-than-temporary,  could  result  in  a  charge  to  earnings  and  establishment  of  a  new  cost 
basis. Write-downs for other-than-temporary impairment are recorded in non-interest income as realized  losses. 
The Company assesses available information about our securities to determine whether impairment is other-than-

(cid:120) Historical losses and estimated severity of future losses; 
(cid:120) Credit surveillance data which summarize retrospective performance; and 
(cid:120) Anticipated future cash flows and prospective performance assessments. 

Determining  whether  other-than-temporary  impairment  has  occurred  requires  judgment  of  factors  that  may 
indicate  an  impairment  loss  has  incurred.  The  Company  adopted  the  guidance  on  other-than-temporary 
impairments  Accounting  Standards  Codification  (ASC)  320,  Investments-Debt  and  Equity  Securities,  which 
amended  the accounting for other-than-temporary impairments into credit-related and other factors. Any credit-
related impairments are realized through a charge  to earnings. The amount of non-credit related impairments is

OTHER SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Investment Securities 
Investment securities that the Bank intends to hold indefinitely as part of its asset/liability strategy, or that may be 
sold in response to changes in interest rates or prepayment risk are classified as available for sale. Available for 
sale securities are carried at fair value. Net unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, on securities 
available for sale are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized (see Comprehensive 
Income). All securities were classified as available for sale as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, except for Federal 
Reserve Bank (FRB) and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, which have an indeterminable maturity. 

Investment securities that the Bank intends to hold until maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of 
premiums and accretion of discounts using a level yield method over the period to maturity. There were no such 
securities as of December 31, 2012 or 2011. 

Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield 
using the effective interest method. Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. Realized gains and 
losses on the sale of investment securities are determined using the specific-identification method and recognized 
in non-interest income on the trade date. 

Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines Stock 
Investments in FRB and FHLB stock are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. 

Loans Held For Sale-Mortgage Banking 
Loans held for sale-mortgage banking are accounted for at fair value pursuant to the fair value option permitted by 
FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments. Gains and losses from the changes in fair value are included in mortgage 
banking revenue. 

Loans and Leases 
Loans and leases held for investment are stated at their outstanding principal amount net of unearned income, net 
of unamortized deferred fees and costs and an allowance for credit losses. Interest income is recognized on the 
accrual basis using the interest method prescribed in the loan agreement except when collectability is in doubt. 

Loans and leases are reviewed regularly by management and are placed on non-accrual status when the collection 
of  interest  or  principal  is  90  days  or  more  past  due,  unless  the  loan  or  lease  is  adequately  secured  and  in  the 
process of collection. When a loan or lease is placed on non-accrual status, uncollected interest accrued in prior 
years  is  charged  off  against  the  allowance  for  credit  losses,  unless  collection  of  the  principal  and  interest  is 
assured.  Interest  accrued  in  the  current  year  is  reversed  against  interest  income  in  the  current  period.  Interest 
payments  received  on  non-accrual  loans  and  leases  are  generally  applied  to  principal  unless  the  remaining 
principal  balance  has  been  determined  to  be  fully  collectible.  Accrual  of  interest  may  be  resumed  when  it  is 
determined  that  all  amounts  due  are  expected  to  be  collected  and  the  loan  has  exhibited  a  sustained  level  of 
performance, generally at least six months. 

A  loan  is  considered  impaired  when  it  is  probable  that  a  creditor  will  be  unable  to  collect  all  amounts  due 
according  to  the  contractual  terms  of  the  loan  agreement.  Loans  are  reviewed  for  impairment  on  an  individual 
basis.  Impaired  loans  are  measured  at  the  present  value  of  expected  future  cash  flows  discounted  at  the  loan’s 
initial effective interest rate. The fair value of collateral of an impaired collateral-dependent loan or an observable 
market price is also used as an alternative to discounting cash flows. If the measure of the impaired loan is less 
than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment will be recognized as a charge-off through the allowance for 
credit losses. 

Restructured loans are loans for which concessions, including a reduced interest rate or a deferral of interest or 
principal,  have  been  granted  due  to  the  borrower’s  weakened  financial  condition.  Once  a  loan  is  restructured, 
interest is accrued at the restructured rates when no loss of principal is anticipated. A loan that has performed in 
accordance with restructured terms for one year is no longer reported as a restructured loan.  

Cash receipts on impaired loans are generally applied to principal except when the loan is well collateralized or 

there are other circumstances that support recognition of interest. When an impaired loan is in non-accrual status, 

cash receipts are applied to principal.   

Loan Origination Fees and Costs; Other Lending Fees 

For Loans and Leases Held for Investment, origination fees and costs incurred to extend credit are deferred and 

amortized  over  the  term  of  the  loan  as  an  adjustment  to  yield  using  the  interest  method,  except  where  the  net 

amount is deemed to be immaterial.  

The Company occasionally originates lines of credit where the customer is charged a non-usage fee if the line of 

credit is  not used.  In  such  instances,  we periodically review use of  lines  on a retrospective  basis and  recognize 

non-usage fees in non-interest income. 

Loan Servicing and Transfers of Financial Assets 

The Bank sells commercial business loans to third parties. The loans are generally sold on a non-recourse basis. 

Sold loans are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. 

The sales of loans are accounted for pursuant to FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. 

Premises and Equipment 

Land  is  carried  at  cost.  Premises  and  equipment  are  reported  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and 

amortization.  Depreciation  and  amortization  for  financial  reporting  purposes  is  charged  to  operating  expense 

using  the  straight-line  method  over  the  estimated  useful  lives  of  the  assets.  Estimated  useful  lives  are  up  to  40 

years for buildings and three to 10 years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over 

the  shorter  of  the  lease  term  or  the  estimated  useful  life  of  the  improvement.  The  costs  of  improvements  are 

capitalized. Maintenance and repairs, as well as gains and losses on dispositions of premises and equipment, are 

included in non-interest income or expense as incurred.  

Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Property 

Real  estate  properties  and  other  assets  acquired  through  loan  foreclosures  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  carrying 

amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. If the carrying amount of an asset acquired through foreclosure is 

in excess of the fair value less estimated costs to sell, the excess amount is charged to the  allowance for credit 

losses.  Fair  value  is  primarily  determined  based  upon  appraisals  of  the  assets  involved  and  management 

periodically assesses appraised values to ascertain continued relevancy of the valuation. Subsequent declines in 

the estimated fair value, net operating results and gains and losses on disposition of the asset are included in other 

non-interest expense. Operating expenses of properties are charged to other real estate costs.  

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets  

The  Company  reviews  long-lived  assets  for  impairment  periodically  or  whenever  events  or  changes  in 

circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of  any  such  asset  may  not  be  recoverable.  If  impairment  is 

identified, the assets are written down to their fair value through a charge to non-interest expense.   

There were no impairment charges in 2012 or 2011.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase 
From time to time, the Bank enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase, generally for periods 
of less than 90 days. These agreements are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase securities sold 
are  reflected  as  a  liability  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  as  short-term  borrowings.  The  costs  of  securities 
underlying the agreements remain in the asset accounts. 

Fair Values of Financial Instruments  
The  Company  is  required  to  disclose  the  estimated  fair  value  of  financial  instruments.  Fair  value  estimates  are 
subjective  in  nature,  involving  uncertainties  and  matters  of  significant  judgment,  and  therefore  cannot  be 
determined  with  precision.  Changes  in  assumptions  could  significantly  affect  the  estimates.  The  following 
methods  and  assumptions  are  used  by  the  Company  in  estimating  fair  value  disclosures  for  its  financial 
instruments. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Non-interest-Bearing Deposits and Demand Deposits. The carrying amounts 
approximate fair value due to the short maturity of the instruments. The fair value of deposits with no stated 
maturity, such as interest checking, savings and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on 
demand at the reporting date. The intangible value of long-term customer relationships with depositors is not 
taken into account in the fair values disclosed. 

Investment Securities Available for Sale. The fair value of the Company’s securities are based upon quoted 
prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets 
that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions are observable in 
the market. 

Federal  Reserve  Bank  and  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  Stock. The  carrying  amount  of  FRB  and  FHLB 
stock is their cost, which approximates fair value. 

Loans  Held  for  Sale-Mortgage  Banking.  Loans  held  for  sale-mortgage  banking  are  accounted  for  at  fair 
value pursuant to the fair value option permitted by FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments. 

Comprehensive Income  

Accrued Interest Receivable. The fair value of accrued interest receivable equals the amount receivable due 
to the current nature of the amounts receivable. 

Derivative  Financial  Instruments. The  fair  value  of  the  Company’s  derivatives  are  based  upon  quoted 
prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets 
that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions are observable in 
the market. 

Interest-Bearing  Deposits.  Fair  values  of  interest-bearing  deposit  liabilities  are  estimated  by  discounting 
future  cash  flow  payment  streams  using  rates  at  which  comparable  current  deposits  with  comparable 
maturities are being issued.  

Borrowings  and  Advances. The  carrying  amount  of  short-term  borrowings  approximates  fair  value  due  to 
the  short  maturity  and  the  instruments’  floating  interest  rates,  which  are  tied  to  market  conditions.  The  fair 
values of long-term borrowings are estimated by discounting future cash flow payment streams using rates at 
which comparable borrowings are currently being offered. 

Accrued Interest Payable. The fair value of accrued interest payable equals the amount payable due to the 
current nature of the amounts payable. 

Guaranteed  Preferred  Beneficial  Interests  in  Company’s  Subordinated  Debentures. The  fair  values  of 
the Company’s subordinated debentures are estimated by discounting future cash flow payment streams using 
discount rates estimated to reflect those at which comparable instruments could currently be offered. 

Financial  Instruments  with  Off-Balance-Sheet  Risk. The  fair  values  of  the  Company’s  commitments  to 

extend credit and commercial and standby letters of credit are estimated using fees currently charged to enter 

into similar agreements.  

Derivative Financial Instruments 

FASB  ASC  815,  Derivatives  and  Hedging,  establishes  accounting  and  reporting  standards  for  derivative 

instruments,  including  certain  derivative  instruments  embedded  in  other  contracts,  and  for  hedging  activities. 

Accordingly, the Company records all derivatives at fair value.   

The  Company  enters  into  interest  rate  lock  commitments  on  certain  mortgage  loans  related  to  our  mortgage 

banking operations on a best efforts basis, which are commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on 

the loan is determined prior to funding. The Company also has corresponding forward sales contracts related to 

these  interest  rate  lock  commitments.  Both  the  mortgage  loan  commitments  and  the  related  forward  sales 

contracts are accounted for as derivatives and carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in income. 

The Company also commits to originate and sell certain loans related to our mortgage banking operations on a 

mandatory  delivery  basis.  To  hedge  interest  rate  risk  the  Company  sells  short  positions  in  mortgage  backed 

securities  related  to  the  loans  sold  on  a  mandatory  delivery  basis.  The  commitments  to  originate  and  short 

positions are accounted for as derivatives and carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in income. 

Earnings Per Share 

Basic  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  excludes  dilution  and  is  computed  by  dividing  income  available  to  common 

stockholders  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  common  shares  outstanding  during  the  applicable  period. 

Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock 

were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in 

the earnings of the Company. Such potential dilutive instruments include stock options and contingently issuable 

stock. Note 24 to these consolidated financial statements includes disclosure of the Company’s EPS calculations. 

Comprehensive  income  is  the  total  of net  income  and  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income,  which  for  the 

Company,  is  generally  comprised  of  unrealized  gains  and  losses  on  securities  available  for  sale  and  unrealized 

gains and losses on hedging instruments qualifying for cash flow hedge accounting treatment pursuant to FASB 

ASC 815.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

due from banks and federal funds sold. 

Share-Based Compensation 

For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash 

FASB  ASC  718  requires  the  Company  to  measure  the  cost  of  employee  services  received  in  exchange  for  an 

award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date.  

At  December  31,  2012,  the  Company  had  four  stock-based  employee  compensation  plans,  which  are  described 

more fully in Note 27 to these consolidated financial statements.  

RECENTLY ISSUED OR ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS   

FASB  ASU  2010-20,  Receivables  (Topic  310),  Disclosures  about  the  Credit  Quality  of  Financing  Receivables 

and  the  Allowance  for  Credit  Losses,  requires  significant  new  disclosures  about  the  allowance  for  credit  losses 

and the credit quality of financing receivables. The requirements are intended to enhance transparency regarding 

credit losses and the credit quality of loan and lease receivables. Under this statement, allowance for credit losses 

and  fair  value  are  to  be  disclosed  by  portfolio  segment,  while  credit  quality  information,  impaired  financing 

receivables and nonaccrual status are to be presented by class of financing receivable. Disclosure of the nature and 

extent, the financial impact and segment information of troubled debt restructurings is required. The disclosures

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase 

From time to time, the Bank enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase, generally for periods 

of less than 90 days. These agreements are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase securities sold 

are  reflected  as  a  liability  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  as  short-term  borrowings.  The  costs  of  securities 

underlying the agreements remain in the asset accounts. 

Fair Values of Financial Instruments  

The  Company  is  required  to  disclose  the  estimated  fair  value  of  financial  instruments.  Fair  value  estimates  are 

subjective  in  nature,  involving  uncertainties  and  matters  of  significant  judgment,  and  therefore  cannot  be 

determined  with  precision.  Changes  in  assumptions  could  significantly  affect  the  estimates.  The  following 

methods  and  assumptions  are  used  by  the  Company  in  estimating  fair  value  disclosures  for  its  financial 

instruments. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Non-interest-Bearing Deposits and Demand Deposits. The carrying amounts 

approximate fair value due to the short maturity of the instruments. The fair value of deposits with no stated 

maturity, such as interest checking, savings and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on 

demand at the reporting date. The intangible value of long-term customer relationships with depositors is not 

taken into account in the fair values disclosed. 

Investment Securities Available for Sale. The fair value of the Company’s securities are based upon quoted 

prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets 

that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions are observable in 

the market. 

Federal  Reserve  Bank  and  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  Stock. The  carrying  amount  of  FRB  and  FHLB 

stock is their cost, which approximates fair value. 

Loans  Held  for  Sale-Mortgage  Banking.  Loans  held  for  sale-mortgage  banking  are  accounted  for  at  fair 

value pursuant to the fair value option permitted by FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments. 

Accrued Interest Receivable. The fair value of accrued interest receivable equals the amount receivable due 

to the current nature of the amounts receivable. 

Derivative  Financial  Instruments. The  fair  value  of  the  Company’s  derivatives  are  based  upon  quoted 

prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets

In December 2012, the FASB issued for public comment a draft proposal designed to improve financial reporting 

about  expected  credit  losses  on  loans  and  other  financial  assets  held  by  banks,  financial  institutions  and  other 

organizations.  The  proposed  ASU,  Financial  Instruments  -  Credit  Losses,  proposes  a  new  accounting  model 

which  would  change  the  definition  from  inherent  credit  losses  to  expected  credit  losses,  which  could  result  in 

more  timely  recognition  of  credit  losses,  and  also  would  provide  additional  transparency  about  credit  risk. 

Stakeholders have been asked to review and provide comments to the FASB on the proposal by April 30, 2013. 

RECLASSIFICATIONS 

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to 

the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity.  

are  to  be  presented  at  the  level  of  disaggregation  that  management  uses  when  assessing  and  monitoring  the 
portfolio’s risk and performance. For BNCCORP, this ASU was effective as of December 31, 2011. Adoption of 
this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than changes 
to disclosures. See Note 9 to these consolidated financial statements. 

FASB  ASU  2011-02,  Receivables  (Topic  310),  A  Creditor’s  Determination  of  Whether  a  Restructuring  is  a 
Troubled Debt Restructuring, clarifies when the restructuring of a receivable should be considered a troubled debt 
restructuring  (TDR).  FASB  issued  the  guidance  in  response  to  constituents’  concerns  that  creditors  were 
inconsistently  applying  the  guidance  for  indentifying  TDRs.  The  ASU  provides  additional  guidance  for 
determining  whether  the  creditor  has  granted  a  concession  and  whether  the  debtor  is  experiencing  financial 
difficulty.  For  nonpublic  companies,  this  ASU  is  effective  for  annual  periods  ending  after  December  15,  2012, 
including interim periods within those annual periods. Information related to this ASU and the related disclosures 
are included in Note 9 to these consolidated financial statements.   

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860), Reconsideration of Effective 
Control for Repurchase Agreements. Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, prescribes when an entity may or may 
not recognize a sale upon the transfer of financial assets subject to repurchase agreements. That determination is 
based, in part, on whether the entity has maintained effective control over the transferred assets. The amendments 
in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control (1) 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  (2) the  collateral  maintenance  implementation  guidance  related  to  that  criterion.  Other 
criteria applicable to the assessment of effective control are not changed by the amendments in this ASU. This 
ASU  is  effective  for  the  first  interim  or  annual  period  beginning on  or  after  December 15,  2011  and  should  be 
applied prospectively to transactions or modification of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective 
date. The adoption of this ASU in 2012 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial 
statements.  

In  May 2011,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2011-04,  Fair  Value  Measurement  (Topic  820),  Amendments  to  Achieve 
Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments in 
this ASU changes the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for 
disclosing information about fair value measurements in order to improve consistency in wording between U.S. 
GAAP and IFRS. For BNCCORP, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. 
The  adoption  of  this  ASU  in  2012  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial 
statements other than to change the disclosures relating to fair value measurements.   

In  June  2011,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2011-05,  Presentation  of  Comprehensive  Income  (Topic  220),  which 
requires  companies  to  report  total  net  income,  each  component  of  comprehensive  income,  and  total 
comprehensive income on the face of the income statement, or as two consecutive statements.  The components of 
comprehensive  income  are  not  changed,  nor  does  the  ASU  affect  how  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  or 
reported. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012 for non-
public  companies.  The  adoption  of  this  ASU  in  2013  is  not  anticipated  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements.  

In  December  2011,  the  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  Accounting 
Standards  Update  No.  2011—5(Topic  220).  This  ASU  defers  the  requirement  to  separately  present  items 
reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the face of the statement of income.  Instead, the 
proposed standard would require those adjustments be presented either within other comprehensive income of the 
comprehensive income statement or in the notes as U.S. GAAP currently requires.  This ASU does not change the 
other requirements of the new standard, which become effective as originally planned.  The effective date of this 
ASU is expected to be consistent with the newly issued standard on comprehensive income noted above.

NOTE 2. Regulatory Capital and Current Operating Environment 

BNCCORP  and  the  Bank  are  subject  to  various  regulatory  capital  requirements  administered  by  the  Federal 
banking agencies. Failure to meet capital requirements mandated by regulators can initiate certain mandatory and 
discretionary actions by regulators. Such actions, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on the 
Company’s  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  Under  capital  adequacy  guidelines  and  the  regulatory 
framework  for  prompt  corrective  action,  BNCCORP  and  the  Bank  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. With increasing frequency, regulators are imposing capital requirements that are 
specific to individual institutions. The requirements are generally above the statutory ratios.  

Actual  capital  amounts  and  ratios  of  BNCCORP  and  the  Bank  as  of  December  31  are  presented  in  the  tables

In  the  current  operating  environment,  management  believes  banking  entities  are  regularly  required  to  maintain 

capital  ratios  in  excess  of  the  statutory  amounts  required  to  be  considered  well  capitalized.  We  are  managing 

capital accordingly.  

table. 

Although Tangible Common Equity (TCE) is not a regulatory capital measure, TCE is a ratio that is commonly 

used to assess the capital strength of banking entities. Accordingly, we have included the ratio in the preceding 

The most recent notifications from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) categorized the Bank as 

well  capitalized  under  the  regulatory  framework  for  prompt  corrective  action.  Management  believes  the  Bank 

remains well capitalized through the date for which subsequent events have been evaluated.  

In  April  2010,  BNCCORP  entered  into  a  memorandum  of  understanding  that  restricted  payments  related  to  its 

common  stock,  preferred  stock,  and  debt.  This  memorandum  was  terminated  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2012. 

Accrued  dividends  on  preferred  stock  are  $3.7  million  and  accrued  interest  payable  on  debt  is  $4.8  million  at 

December  31,  2012.  Subsequent  to  year  end,  the  Company  began  to  bring  these  obligations  current  and  as  of 

February 15, 2013, we were current on the obligations.  

On  March  11,  2011,  the  previously  announced  sale  of  certain  assets  and  liabilities  was  consummated.  The  sale 

included the Company’s Scottsdale, Arizona branch premises; certain Arizona-based deposit accounts and loans; 

and certain deposit accounts and loans of the Company’s offices in Minneapolis and Golden Valley, Minnesota. 

The Company continues to offer a full range of banking services in the Arizona and Minnesota markets following 

the sale.  

The sale did not affect our North Dakota, wealth management, or mortgage banking operations.  Loans sold in the 

sale were $65.7 million, deposits transferred were $76.7 million, and the sale of the Scottsdale branch was $2.8 

million. There was no significant gain or loss incurred as a result of the divestiture. 

NOTE 4. Fraud Loss on Assets Serviced by Others

As previously reported, the Company discovered fraudulent activity in April of 2010 by an external company that 

was servicing residential mortgage loans for the Company. Subsequently, the Company and its advisors have been 

diligently addressing this matter.  

In 2010, we submitted claims under our fidelity insurance policies seeking to recover the insured portion of these 

losses. The policies together provided for total coverage of $15 million. After we submitted the insurance claims, 

the insurance carriers contended our claims were not insurable and as a result we sued the insurance carriers for 

failure to honor the policies and for acting in bad faith. 

In  the  third  quarter  of  2012,  we  reached  a  settlement  with  the  insurers  and  collected  $7.5  million,  which  was 

recognized  in  non-interest  income.  After  reflecting  the  contingent  fee  paid  to  advisors,  the  net  pre-tax  earnings 

from the settlement of this claim was approximately $5.0 million in 2012.  

NOTE 5. Restrictions on Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Bank is required to maintain reserve balances in cash on hand or with the FRB. The required reserve balances 

were $0 as of December 31, 2012 and $25,000 as of December 31, 2011.

NOTE 2. Regulatory Capital and Current Operating Environment 

BNCCORP  and  the  Bank  are  subject  to  various  regulatory  capital  requirements  administered  by  the  Federal 

banking agencies. Failure to meet capital requirements mandated by regulators can initiate certain mandatory and 

discretionary actions by regulators. Such actions, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on the 

Company’s  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  Under  capital  adequacy  guidelines  and  the  regulatory 

framework  for  prompt  corrective  action,  BNCCORP  and  the  Bank  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. With increasing frequency, regulators are imposing capital requirements that are 

specific to individual institutions. The requirements are generally above the statutory ratios.  

Actual  capital  amounts  and  ratios  of  BNCCORP  and  the  Bank  as  of  December  31  are  presented  in  the  tables 

below (dollars in thousands):

Management regularly evaluates each security with unrealized losses to determine whether losses are other–than-
temporary. When the evaluation is performed, management considers several factors including, but not limited to, 
the amount of the unrealized loss, the length of time the security has been in a loss position, guarantees provided 
by  third  parties,  ratings  on  the  security,  cash  flow  from  the  security,  the  level  of  credit  support  provided  by 
subordinate tranches, and the collateral underlying the security.

Performing and non-accrual loans  
The  Bank’s  key  credit  quality  indicator  is  the  loan’s  performance  status,  defined  as  accrual  or  non-accrual. 
Performing loans are considered to have a lower risk of loss and are on accrual status.  Non-accrual loans include 
loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued. Accrual of interest is discontinued when we believe 
that  the  borrower’s  financial  condition  is  such  that  the  collection  of  principal  and  interest  is  doubtful.  A 
delinquent loan is generally placed on non-accrual status when it becomes 90 days or more past due unless the 
loan  is  well  secured  and  in  the  process  of  collection. When  a  loan  is  placed  on  non-accrual  status,  accrued  but 
uncollected interest income applicable to the current reporting period is reversed against interest income. Accrued 
but  uncollected  interest  income  applicable  to  previous  reporting  periods  is  charged  against  the  allowance  for 
credit  losses.  No  additional  interest  is  accrued  on  the  loan  balance  until  the  collection  of  both  principal  and 
interest  becomes  reasonably  certain.  Delinquent  balances  are  determined  based  on  the  contractual  terms  of  the 
loan adjusted for charge-offs and payments applied to principal.

delinquent loan is generally placed on non-accrual status when it becomes 90 days or more past due unless the 

loan  is  well  secured  and  in  the  process  of  collection. When  a  loan  is  placed  on  non-accrual  status,  accrued  but 

uncollected interest income applicable to the current reporting period is reversed against interest income. Accrued 

but  uncollected  interest  income  applicable  to  previous  reporting  periods  is  charged  against  the  allowance  for 

credit  losses.  No  additional  interest  is  accrued  on  the  loan  balance  until  the  collection  of  both  principal  and 

interest  becomes  reasonably  certain.  Delinquent  balances  are  determined  based  on  the  contractual  terms  of  the 

loan adjusted for charge-offs and payments applied to principal.

During  2012,  the  Company  adopted  FASB  ASU  No.  2011-02,  Receivables  (Topic  310),  A  Creditor’s

2011, were identified as TDR’s as a result of adopting these provisions.

TDR  concessions  can  include  reduction  of  interest  rates,  extension  of  maturity  dates,  forgiveness  of  principal 
and/or  interest  due,  or  acceptance  of  real  estate  or  other  assets  in  full  or  partial  satisfaction  of  the  debt.    Loan 
modifications are not reported as TDR’s after 12 months if the loan was modified at a market rate of interest for 
comparable risk loans, and the loan is performing in accordance with the terms of the restructured agreement for 
at least six months.  

When a loan is modified as a TDR, there may be a direct, material impact on the loans within the Balance Sheet, 
as  principal  balances  may  be  partially  forgiven.    The  financial  effects  of  TDR’s  are  presented  in  the  following 
table  and  represent  the  difference  between  the  outstanding  recorded  balance  pre-modification  and  post-
modification, for the periods ending December 31 (in thousands):

Loans  that  were  non-accrual  prior  to  modification  remain  on  non-accrual  for  at  least  six  months  following 
modification. Non-accrual TDR loans that have performed according to the modified terms for six months may be 
returned  to  accruing  status.    Loans  that  were  accruing  prior  to  modification  remain  on  accrual  status  after  the 
modification as long as the loan continues to perform under the new terms.

The weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was 
0.38% and 0.92%, respectively. 

Customer repurchase agreements are used by the Bank to acquire funds from customers where the customers are 
required, or desire, to have their funds supported by collateral consisting of government, government agency or 
other types of securities. The repurchase agreement is a promise to sell these securities to a customer at a certain 
price  and  repurchase  them  at  a  future  date  at  that  same  price  plus  interest  accrued  at  an  agreed  upon  rate.  The 
Bank  uses  customer  repurchase  agreements  in  its  liquidity  plan  as  well  as  an  accommodation  to  customers.  At 
December  31,  2012,  $11.7  million  of  securities  sold  under  repurchase  agreements,  with  a  weighted  average 
interest  rate  of  0.38%,  were  collateralized  by  government  agency  collateralized  mortgage  obligations  having  a 

NOTE  16.  Guaranteed  Preferred  Beneficial  Interest’s  in  Company’s  Subordinated 

In July 2007, BNCCORP issued $15.0 million of floating rate subordinated debentures. The interest rate paid on 

the securities is equal to the three month LIBOR plus 1.40%. The interest rate at December 31, 2012 was 1.76% 

and the interest rate reset on January 2, 2013 to 1.71%. The subordinated debentures mature on October 1, 2037. 

The  subordinated  debentures  may  be  redeemed  at  par  and  the  corresponding  debentures  may  be  prepaid  at  the 

option of BNCCORP, subject to approval by the FRB. 

In July 2000, BNCCORP issued $7.5 million of subordinated debentures at 12.05%. The subordinated debentures 

are  subject  to  mandatory  redemption  on  July  19,  2030.  On  or  after  July  19,  2010,  the  subordinated  debentures 

may  be  redeemed  and  the  corresponding  debentures  may  be  prepaid  at  the  option  of  BNCCORP  at  declining 

redemption  prices.  Because  regulations  related  to  the  regulatory  capital  treatment  of  these  subordinated 

debentures  have  changed,  we  currently  believe  these  subordinated  debentures  may  be  redeemable  at  par. 

Redemption is subject to approval by the FRB.  

Commencing in January 2010, BNCCORP deferred interest payments on its subordinated debentures as permitted 

pursuant to contractual terms of the agreements. While the subordinated debenture agreements permit interest to

At  December  31,  2012  the  pledged  collateral  was  comprised  of  municipal  bonds  and  collateralized  mortgage 
obligations. 

NOTE  16.  Guaranteed  Preferred  Beneficial  Interest’s  in  Company’s  Subordinated 
Debentures  

In July 2007, BNCCORP issued $15.0 million of floating rate subordinated debentures. The interest rate paid on 
the securities is equal to the three month LIBOR plus 1.40%. The interest rate at December 31, 2012 was 1.76% 
and the interest rate reset on January 2, 2013 to 1.71%. The subordinated debentures mature on October 1, 2037. 
The  subordinated  debentures  may  be  redeemed  at  par  and  the  corresponding  debentures  may  be  prepaid  at  the 
option of BNCCORP, subject to approval by the FRB. 

In July 2000, BNCCORP issued $7.5 million of subordinated debentures at 12.05%. The subordinated debentures 
are  subject  to  mandatory  redemption  on  July  19,  2030.  On  or  after  July  19,  2010,  the  subordinated  debentures 
may  be  redeemed  and  the  corresponding  debentures  may  be  prepaid  at  the  option  of  BNCCORP  at  declining 
redemption  prices.  Because  regulations  related  to  the  regulatory  capital  treatment  of  these  subordinated 
debentures  have  changed,  we  currently  believe  these  subordinated  debentures  may  be  redeemable  at  par. 
Redemption is subject to approval by the FRB.  

Commencing in January 2010, BNCCORP deferred interest payments on its subordinated debentures as permitted 
pursuant to contractual terms of the agreements. While the subordinated debenture agreements permit interest to

be deferred for up to 60 months, interest on the subordinated debentures continues to accrue during deferment. At 
December  31,  2012,  accrued  interest  owed  on  the  subordinated  debentures  aggregated  $4.8  million,  which  is 
included  in  interest  payable.  At  December  31,  2011,  accrued  interest  owed  on  the  subordinated  debentures 
aggregated $3.2 million, which is included in interest payable. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, the Company 
began to bring these obligations current and as of January 19, 2013, we were current on the obligations.  

The  agreements  that  contractually  permit  the  deferral  of  interest  on  the  subordinated  debentures  require  that 
dividends on junior securities be suspended while interest payments on the subordinated debentures are deferred.  

NOTE 17. Stockholders’ Equity 

ASSETS

On January 16, 2009, BNCCORP received net proceeds of approximately $20.1 million through the sale of shares 
of non-voting senior preferred stock to the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program 
(CPP).  The  Treasury  Department  also  received  a  warrant  exercisable  for  shares  of  an  additional  class  of 
BNCCORP, INC. preferred stock, which has an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $1.0 million. 
The Treasury Department exercised this warrant on January 16, 2009.  

As a result of participating in the CPP, the Company issued two series of preferred stock. Both series of stock are 
perpetual and classified as non-voting.

The first series of stock pays dividends at 5%, of its liquidation preference, per annum until the fifth anniversary 
of the Treasury Department’s investment and thereafter pays a dividend of 9%. There were 20,093 shares of this 
series outstanding as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Each share has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. 
This series of shares can not be redeemed without prior approval from regulatory authorities.  

The  second  series  of  preferred  pays  dividends  at  9%,  of  its  liquidation  preference,  per  annum  and  may  not  be 
redeemed until the first series has been redeemed. There were 1,005 shares of this series outstanding at December 
31, 2012 and 2011.  

As a result of deferring interest on the subordinated debentures, BNCCORP was contractually required to cease 
payment of dividends on the CPP preferred stock beginning with the quarterly payment due February 2010. At 
December 31, 2012, the Company has recorded the accrued dividends aggregating $3.7 million which is included 
in other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2011, the Company has recorded the 
accrued  dividends  aggregating  $2.5  million  which  is  included  in  other  liabilities  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, the Company began to bring these obligations current and as of 
February 15, 2013, we were current on the obligations.  

BNCCORP and the Bank are subject to certain minimum capital requirements (see Note 2 to these consolidated 
financial  statements).  BNCCORP  is  subject  to  certain  restrictions  on  the  amount  of  dividends  it  may  declare 
without  prior  regulatory  approval  pursuant  to  the  Federal  Reserve  Act.  The  terms  of  the  preferred  stock  issued 
under  the  CPP  precludes  certain  dividend  payments  to  common  shareholders  and  certain  repurchases  of 
outstanding shares of common stock until the preferred shares have been redeemed.  

Regulatory restrictions exist regarding the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to BNCCORP in the form of cash 
dividends. Approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Bank’s principal regulator, is 
required for the Bank to pay dividends to BNCCORP in excess of the Bank’s net profits from the current year 
plus retained net profits for the preceding two years.  

On May 30, 2001, BNCCORP’s Board of Directors adopted a rights plan intended to protect stockholder interests 
in the event BNCCORP becomes the subject of a takeover initiative that BNCCORP’s Board believes could deny 
BNCCORP’s  stockholders  the  full  value  of  their  investment.  This  plan  does  not  prohibit  the  Board  from 
considering any offer that it deems advantageous to its stockholders.  

The rights were issued to each common stockholder of record on May 30, 2001, and they will be exercisable only 
if a person acquires, or announces a tender offer, that would result in ownership of, 15% or more of BNCCORP’s 
outstanding common stock. The rights plan was amended in 2011 such that it now expires on May 30, 2021.

The  unrealized  gains  recognized  during  2012  resulted  from  a  new  hedging  strategy  where  loans  are  sold  on  a 

mandatory  delivery  basis.  We  began  to  deliver  loans  on  a  mandatory  delivery  basis  as  it  generally  improves 

margins in the mortgage banking operations. We also sell short positions in mortgage-backed securities to hedge 

interest rate risk on the loans committed for mandatory delivery. The commitments to originate mortgage banking 

loans  and  our  short  positions  are  derivatives  and  recorded  at  fair  value.  The  fair  values  of  the  commitments  to 

originate  loans  under  mandatory  delivery  are  generally  greater  than  the  fair  value  of  our  short  positions.  This 

asymmetry resulted in unrealized gains in 2012.  

The  Company  may  also  be  required  from  time  to  time  to  measure  certain  other  assets  at  fair  value  on  a 

nonrecurring  basis  in  accordance  with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  These  adjustments  to  fair 

value usually result from the application of the lower of cost or market accounting or write-down of individual 

assets. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis the following table provides the level of valuation 

assumptions used to determine the carrying value at December 31 (in thousands):

NOTE 20. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk 

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet 
risk, primarily to meet the needs of our customers as well as to manage our interest rate risk. These instruments, 
which are issued by the Company for purposes other than trading, carry varying degrees of credit, interest rate or 
liquidity risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. 

Commitments to Extend Credit 
Commitments  to  extend  credit  are  agreements  to  lend  to  a  customer,  which  are  binding,  provided  there  is  no 
violation of any condition in the contract, and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. 
The contractual amount represents the Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of default by the borrower. At 
December 31, 2012, based on current information, no losses were anticipated as a result of these commitments. 
The Bank manages this credit risk by using the same credit policies it applies to loans. Collateral is obtained to 
secure  commitments  based  on  management’s  credit  assessment  of  the  borrower.  The  collateral  may  include 
marketable  securities,  receivables,  inventory,  equipment  or  real  estate.  Since  the  Bank  expects  many  of  the 
commitments to expire without being drawn, total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent the Bank’s 
future liquidity requirements related to such commitments. 

In our mortgage banking operations, we commit to extend credit for purposes of originating residential loans. We 
underwrite these commitments to determine whether each loan meets criteria established by the secondary market 
for  residential  loans.  See  Note  1  and  18  to  these  consolidated  financial  statements  for  more  information  on 
financial instruments and derivatives related to our mortgage banking operations. 

Standby and Commercial Letters of Credit 
Standby  letters  of  credit  are  conditional  commitments  issued  by  the  Bank  to  guarantee  the  performance  of  a 
customer  to  a  third  party.  Commercial  letters  of  credit  are  issued  on  behalf  of  customers  to  ensure  payment  or 
collection in connection with trade transactions. In the event of a customer’s nonperformance, the Bank’s credit 
loss exposure is up to the letter’s contractual amount. At December 31, 2012, based on current information, no 
losses were anticipated as a result of these commitments. Management assesses the borrower’s credit to determine 
the necessary collateral, which may include marketable securities, real estate, accounts receivable and inventory. 
Since  the  conditions  requiring  the  Bank  to  fund  letters  of  credit  may  not  occur,  the  Bank  expects  our  liquidity 
requirements related to such letters of credit to be less than the total outstanding commitments. 

The contractual amounts of these financial instruments were as follows as of December 31 (in thousands):

In addition to the amounts in the table above, our mortgage banking commitments to fund loans totaled $161.0 
million at December 31, 2012 and $93.5 million at December 31, 2011. Also, our mortgage banking commitments 
to sell loans totaled $253.2 million at December 31, 2012 and $160.1 million at December 31, 2011. 

Mortgage Banking Obligations 
Through its mortgage banking operations, the Company originates and sells residential mortgage loans servicing 
released  to  third  parties.  These  loans  are  sold  without  recourse  to  the  Company.  However,  standard  industry 
practices require representations and warranties which generally require sellers to reimburse a portion of the sales 
proceeds if a sold loan defaults or pays off shortly after the sale of the loan (i.e. generally within four months of 
the  sale).  The  following  is  a  summary  of  activity  related  to  mortgage  banking  reimbursement  obligations  at 
December 31 (in thousands):

Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in Company’s Subordinated Debentures

BNCCORP fully and unconditionally guarantees the Company’s subordinated debentures. 

Performance and Financial Standby Letters of Credit 

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Bank had outstanding $942 thousand and $1.7 million, respectively, of 

performance standby letters of credit and $4.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively, of financial standby letters 

of  credit.  Performance  standby  letters  of  credit  are  irrevocable  obligations  to  the  beneficiary  on  the  part  of  the 

Bank to make payment on account of any default by the account party in the performance of a nonfinancial or 

commercial obligation. Financial standby letters of credit are irrevocable obligations to the beneficiary on the part 

of  the  Bank  to  repay  money  for  the  account  of  the  account  party  or  to  make  payment  on  account  of  any 

indebtedness undertaken by the account party, in the event that the account party fails to fulfill its obligation to 

the beneficiary. Under these arrangements, the Bank could, in the event of the account party’s nonperformance, be 

required to pay a maximum of the amount of issued letters of credit. The Bank has recourse against the account 

party up to and including the amount of the performance standby letter of credit. The Bank evaluates each account 

party’s  creditworthiness  on  a  case-by-case  basis  and  the  amount  of  collateral  obtained  varies  and  is  based  on 

management’s credit evaluation of the account party.  

NOTE 22. Related-Party/Affiliate Transactions 

The Bank has entered into transactions with related parties, such as opening deposit accounts for and extending 

credit to, employees of the Company. The related party transactions have been made under terms substantially the 

same as those offered by the Bank to unrelated parties. 

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  loans  are  granted  to,  and  deposits  are  received  from, executive  officers, 

directors, principal stockholders and associates of such persons. The aggregate dollar amount of these loans was 

$2.6 million and $1.3 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Originations in 2012 and 2011 totaled 

$1.5  million  and  $709,000,  respectively.  Loan  paydowns  in  2012  and  2011  were  $162,000  and  $124,000, 

respectively.  The  total  amount  of  deposits  received  from  these  parties  was  $2.3  million  and  $1.9  million  at 

December  31,  2012  and  2011,  respectively.  Loans  to,  and  deposits  received  from, these  parties  were  made  on 

substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable 

transactions with unrelated persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collection.  

The  Federal  Reserve  Act  limits  amounts  of,  and  requires  collateral  on,  extensions  of  credit  by  the  Bank  to 

BNCCORP,  and  with  certain  exceptions,  its  non-bank  affiliates.  There  are  also  restrictions  on  the  amounts  of 

investment by the Bank in stocks and other subsidiaries of BNCCORP and such affiliates and restrictions on the 

acceptance of their securities as collateral for loans by the Bank. As of December 31, 2012, BNCCORP and its 

affiliates were in compliance with these requirements.

practices require representations and warranties which generally require sellers to reimburse a portion of the sales 

proceeds if a sold loan defaults or pays off shortly after the sale of the loan (i.e. generally within four months of 

the  sale).  The  following  is  a  summary  of  activity  related  to  mortgage  banking  reimbursement  obligations  at

NOTE 21. Guarantees and Contingent Consideration 

Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in Company’s Subordinated Debentures
BNCCORP fully and unconditionally guarantees the Company’s subordinated debentures. 

Performance and Financial Standby Letters of Credit 
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Bank had outstanding $942 thousand and $1.7 million, respectively, of 
performance standby letters of credit and $4.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively, of financial standby letters 
of  credit.  Performance  standby  letters  of  credit  are  irrevocable  obligations  to  the  beneficiary  on  the  part  of  the 
Bank to make payment on account of any default by the account party in the performance of a nonfinancial or 
commercial obligation. Financial standby letters of credit are irrevocable obligations to the beneficiary on the part 
of  the  Bank  to  repay  money  for  the  account  of  the  account  party  or  to  make  payment  on  account  of  any 
indebtedness undertaken by the account party, in the event that the account party fails to fulfill its obligation to 
the beneficiary. Under these arrangements, the Bank could, in the event of the account party’s nonperformance, be 
required to pay a maximum of the amount of issued letters of credit. The Bank has recourse against the account 
party up to and including the amount of the performance standby letter of credit. The Bank evaluates each account 
party’s  creditworthiness  on  a  case-by-case  basis  and  the  amount  of  collateral  obtained  varies  and  is  based  on 
management’s credit evaluation of the account party.  

NOTE 22. Related-Party/Affiliate Transactions 

The Bank has entered into transactions with related parties, such as opening deposit accounts for and extending 
credit to, employees of the Company. The related party transactions have been made under terms substantially the 
same as those offered by the Bank to unrelated parties. 

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  loans  are  granted  to,  and  deposits  are  received  from, executive  officers, 
directors, principal stockholders and associates of such persons. The aggregate dollar amount of these loans was 
$2.6 million and $1.3 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Originations in 2012 and 2011 totaled 
$1.5  million  and  $709,000,  respectively.  Loan  paydowns  in  2012  and  2011  were  $162,000  and  $124,000, 
respectively.  The  total  amount  of  deposits  received  from  these  parties  was  $2.3  million  and  $1.9  million  at 
December  31,  2012  and  2011,  respectively.  Loans  to,  and  deposits  received  from, these  parties  were  made  on 
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable 
transactions with unrelated persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collection.  

The  Federal  Reserve  Act  limits  amounts  of,  and  requires  collateral  on,  extensions  of  credit  by  the  Bank  to 
BNCCORP,  and  with  certain  exceptions,  its  non-bank  affiliates.  There  are  also  restrictions  on  the  amounts  of 
investment by the Bank in stocks and other subsidiaries of BNCCORP and such affiliates and restrictions on the 
acceptance of their securities as collateral for loans by the Bank. As of December 31, 2012, BNCCORP and its 
affiliates were in compliance with these requirements.

At  December  31,  2011,  a  valuation  allowance  related  to  our  net  deferred  tax  assets  was  required  because  the 

realization of tax benefits related to deferred tax assets was not sufficiently certain. During 2012, virtually all of 

the  valuation  allowance  related  to  deferred  tax  assets  was  reversed  because  of  several  consecutive  profitable 

quarters and management’s assessment that it was more likely than not that benefits related to deferred tax assets 

would be realized.

The Company is able to carry forward federal tax net operating losses aggregating $1.525 million as of December

losses  aggregating  $12.7 million  as  of  December  31,  2012.  The  state  net  operating  losses  expire  between  2014

BNCCORP  has  a  qualified,  tax-exempt  401(k)  savings  plan  covering  all  employees  of  BNCCORP  and  its 
subsidiaries  who  meet  specified  age  and  service  requirements.  Under  the  plan,  eligible  employees  may  elect  to 
defer  up  to  75%  of  compensation  each  year  not  to  exceed  the  dollar  limits  set  by  law.  At  their  discretion, 
BNCCORP and its subsidiaries may provide matching contributions to the plan. In 2012 and 2011, BNCCORP 
and its subsidiaries made matching contributions of up to 50% of eligible employee deferrals up to a maximum 
employer contribution of 5% of employee compensation. Generally, all participant contributions and earnings are 
fully  and  immediately  vested.  The  Company  makes  its  matching  contribution  during  the  first  calendar  quarter 
following the last day of each calendar year and an employee must be employed by the Company on the last day 
of the calendar year in order to receive the current year’s employer match. The anticipated matching contribution 
is expensed monthly over the course of the calendar year based on employee contributions made throughout the 
year.  The  Company  made  matching  contributions  of  $464,000  and  $378,000  for  2012  and  2011,  respectively. 
Under the investment options available under the 401(k) savings plan prior to January 28, 2008, employees could 
elect to invest their salary deferrals in BNCCORP common stock. At December 31, 2012, the assets in the plan 
totaled $17.7 million and included $853,000 (83,000 shares) invested in BNCCORP common stock. On January 
28, 2008, the Company voluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market and deregistered its common stock 
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended). As a result, the participants are prohibited from making 
new investments of the Company’s common stock in the plan. 

Employment Agreements and Noncompete Covenants 

The  Company  has  entered  into  an  employment  agreement  with  its  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer.  The 

Company has also entered into an employment agreement with its Chief Credit Officer. However, the agreement 

governing  the  preferred  stock  issued  to  the  Treasury  Department  precludes  payment  of  “golden  parachutes”  to 

senior executive officers of the Company so long as the preferred stock is owned by the Treasury Department.  

Leases 

The Bank has entered into operating lease agreements for certain facilities and equipment used in its operations. 

Rent  expense  for  the  years  ended  December 31,  2012  and  2011  was  $908,000  and  $970,000,  respectively,  for 

facilities, and $37,000 and $42,000, respectively, for equipment and other items. At December 31, 2012, the total 

minimum annual base lease payments for operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 27. Share-Based Compensation 

The  Company  has  four  share-based  plans  for  certain  key  employees  and  directors  whereby  shares  of  common 

stock have been reserved for awards in the form of stock options or restricted stock awards. Pursuant to each plan, 

the compensation committee may grant options at prices equal to the fair value of the stock at the grant date.

The  Company  recognized  share-based  compensation  expense  of  $31,000  and  $42,000  for  the  years  ended 

December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to restricted stock.  

The tax benefits associated with share-based compensation would have been approximately $14,000 and $10,000 

for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, if the Company had not been in a full valuation 

allowance. 

At December 31, 2012, the Company had $3,000 of unamortized restricted stock compensation. At December 31, 

2011, the Company had $35,000 of unamortized restricted stock compensation. Restricted shares of stock granted 

generally have vesting and amortization periods of at least three years.

BNCCORP  has  a  qualified,  tax-exempt  401(k)  savings  plan  covering  all  employees  of  BNCCORP  and  its 

subsidiaries  who  meet  specified  age  and  service  requirements.  Under  the  plan,  eligible  employees  may  elect  to 

defer  up  to  75%  of  compensation  each  year  not  to  exceed  the  dollar  limits  set  by  law.  At  their  discretion, 

BNCCORP and its subsidiaries may provide matching contributions to the plan. In 2012 and 2011, BNCCORP 

and its subsidiaries made matching contributions of up to 50% of eligible employee deferrals up to a maximum 

employer contribution of 5% of employee compensation. Generally, all participant contributions and earnings are 

fully  and  immediately  vested.  The  Company  makes  its  matching  contribution  during  the  first  calendar  quarter 

following the last day of each calendar year and an employee must be employed by the Company on the last day 

of the calendar year in order to receive the current year’s employer match. The anticipated matching contribution 

is expensed monthly over the course of the calendar year based on employee contributions made throughout the 

year.  The  Company  made  matching  contributions  of  $464,000  and  $378,000  for  2012  and  2011,  respectively. 

Under the investment options available under the 401(k) savings plan prior to January 28, 2008, employees could 

elect to invest their salary deferrals in BNCCORP common stock. At December 31, 2012, the assets in the plan 

totaled $17.7 million and included $853,000 (83,000 shares) invested in BNCCORP common stock. On January 

28, 2008, the Company voluntarily delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market and deregistered its common stock 

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended). As a result, the participants are prohibited from making 

new investments of the Company’s common stock in the plan. 

Employment Agreements and Noncompete Covenants 
The  Company  has  entered  into  an  employment  agreement  with  its  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer.  The 
Company has also entered into an employment agreement with its Chief Credit Officer. However, the agreement 
governing  the  preferred  stock  issued  to  the  Treasury  Department  precludes  payment  of  “golden  parachutes”  to 
senior executive officers of the Company so long as the preferred stock is owned by the Treasury Department.  

Leases 
The Bank has entered into operating lease agreements for certain facilities and equipment used in its operations. 
Rent  expense  for  the  years  ended  December 31,  2012  and  2011  was  $908,000  and  $970,000,  respectively,  for 
facilities, and $37,000 and $42,000, respectively, for equipment and other items. At December 31, 2012, the total 
minimum annual base lease payments for operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 27. Share-Based Compensation 

The  Company  has  four  share-based  plans  for  certain  key  employees  and  directors  whereby  shares  of  common 
stock have been reserved for awards in the form of stock options or restricted stock awards. Pursuant to each plan, 
the compensation committee may grant options at prices equal to the fair value of the stock at the grant date. 

Total shares in plan, total shares available, and maximum restricted shares available as of December 31, 2012 are

The  Company  recognized  share-based  compensation  expense  of  $31,000  and  $42,000  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to restricted stock.  

The tax benefits associated with share-based compensation would have been approximately $14,000 and $10,000 
for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, if the Company had not been in a full valuation 
allowance. 

At December 31, 2012, the Company had $3,000 of unamortized restricted stock compensation. At December 31, 
2011, the Company had $35,000 of unamortized restricted stock compensation. Restricted shares of stock granted 
generally have vesting and amortization periods of at least three years.
