Letter to Shareholders 

Dear Shareholders 

The year 2012 was a very good year for our Company resulting in record net income and 
earnings per share.  First Bankers Trust Company, N. A. (the Bank) experienced strong 
growth in assets, deposits, and loans; and First Bankers Trust Services, Inc. (Trust Services) 
had a significant increase in their assets under management, allowing us to post this 
increase in our earnings. (Please see our audited results within this report.) 

We currently maintain a leading market share within our Quincy, Illinois market territory.  We 
have brought in many new customers to our businesses within the last five years.  In our 
northern market (Macomb, Illinois), we opened a second branch in the Spring of 2012; and 
added an investment services office in this market in late December of 2012.  These two 
events will help us to increase our market share in this area and grow in this very important 
market. 

In addition, last year our Trust Services added substantial personnel in our goal to increase 
our personal trust business.  This included more resources to our Chicago, Illinois market as 
well as entry into the Trust business in the St. Louis, Missouri market.  Our assets under 
management in Trust Services increased to $4.7 billion from $3 billion during the year.   

Donald K. Gnuse 
Chairman of the Board 

We continue to look for profitable business within our existing markets, as well as new 
markets, which might make sense for our Company.  We are optimistic about our prospects 
for the future.   

Arthur E. Greenbank 
President/CEO 

We look forward to talking with you at our annual meeting on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at our 
Corporate Headquarters building, located at 12th and Broadway Streets in Quincy, Illinois.  
The meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. 

Sincerely, 

Donald K. Gnuse 
Chairman of the Board 
First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. 

Arthur E. Greenbank

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting 

To the Stockholders: 

Management  of First Bankers Trustshares,  Inc. has prepared and is responsible  for the integrity and 
consistency  of the financial statements  and other related information contained in this Annual Report. In 
the opinion of Management,  the financial statements,  which necessarily include amounts based on 
management  estimates and judgments,  have been prepared in conformity  with accounting  principles 
generally accepted in the United States of America and appropriate  to the circumstances. 

In meeting its responsibilities,  First Bankers Trustshares,  Inc. maintains a system of internal controls 
and procedures designed to provide reasonable  assurance that assets are safeguarded,  that 
transactions  are executed in accordance  with established policies and practices, and that transactions 
are properly recorded so as to permit preparation  of financial statements  that fairly present financial 
position and results of operations in conformity  with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United States of America .  Internal controls and procedures  are augmented  by written policies 
covering standards of personal and business conduct and an organizational structure providing for 
division of accountability  and authority. 

The effectiveness  of, and compliance  with, established  control systems are monitored through a 
continuous  program of internal audit, account review, and external audit. In recognition of the cost-
benefit  relationships  and inherent control limitations,  some features of the control systems are designated 
to detect rather than prevent errors, irregularities  and departures from approved policies and practices. 
Management believes the system of controls has prevented or detected on a timely basis, any 
occurrences  that could be material to the financial statements  and that timely corrective action have been 
initiated when appropriate. 

First Bankers Trustshares,  Inc. engaged the accounting  firm of McGladrey  LLP as Independent 
Auditors to render an opinion on the consolidated  financial statements. To the best of our knowledge, 
the Independent  Auditors were provided with access to all information  and records necessary to render 
their opinion. 

The Board of Directors exercises its responsibility  for the financial statements  and related information 
through the Audit Committee,  which is composed entirely of outside directors. The Audit Committee 
meets regularly with Management,  the internal auditing manager and staff, and the Independent 
Auditors to assess the scope of the annual audit plan and to discuss audit, internal control and financial 
reporting issues. Among the many items discussed are major changes in accounting policies and 
reporting practices. The Independent  Auditors also meet with the Audit Committee to afford them the 
opportunity  to discuss adequacy of compliance  with established policies and procedures  and the quality 
of financial reporting.

Management’s Report on First Bankers Trust Services, Inc. 

First Bankers Trust Services, Inc. Corporate Statement 

First Bankers Trust Services, Inc. provides fiduciary services to individuals and corporate 
clients.  We have clients in 45 states and offer a multitude of custodial and trust support to 
individual retirement accounts, personal trusts, farm management relationships and 
employee benefit trusts. 

In 2012, we surpassed $4 billion in assets under management and completed our 
corporate office expansion at 2300 North 23rd in Quincy.  This expansion came just in time 
as 10 individuals joined our personal trust group.  With more than 200 years of combined 
experiences, these individuals will grow our individual services, including farm management 
and real estate appraisal expertise.  We also opened an office in St. Peters, Missouri to 
accommodate a growing need in the St. Louis metropolitan complex. 

We are encouraged by the prospects of the coming new-year and tempered by the 
headwinds of governmental regulation.  As both will provide challenges and opportunities, 
we are reminded that our 56 years of trust service activities have been filled with similar 
experiences and expectations.

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

Introduction 
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of 
operations of First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. provides an analysis of 
the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report 
and focuses upon those factors which had a significant influence on 
the overall 2012 performance. 

The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing 
elsewhere in this Annual Report. 

The Company was incorporated on August 25, 1988, and acquired 
First Midwest Bank/M.C.N.A. (the Bank) on June 30, 1989. The 
Bank acquisition was accounted for using purchase accounting. 
Prior to the acquisition of the Bank, the Company did not engage in 
any significant business activities. 

Financial Management 
The business of the Company is that of a community-oriented 
financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet 
the needs of the communities it serves. 

Consolidated Assets (Amounts in Thousands of Dollars) 

The Company attracts deposits from the general public and uses 
such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to 
originate one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, consumer 
loans, business loans and agricultural loans in its primary market 
area. The Company also invests in investment securities consisting 
primarily of U.S. government or agency obligations, mortgage-
backed securities, financial institution certificates of deposit, and 
other liquid assets. In addition, the Company conducts Trust 
Operations nationwide through its sales representatives. 

The Company’s goal is to achieve consistently high levels of earning 
assets and loan/deposit ratios while maintaining effective expense 
control and high customer service levels. The term “high level” 
means the ability to profitably increase earning assets. As deposits 
have become fully deregulated, sustained earnings enhancement 
has focused on “earning asset” generation. The Company will focus 
on lending money profitably, controlling credit quality, net interest 
margin, operating expenses and on generating fee income from 
trust and banking operations.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had assets of $804,568,000              
compared to $721,854,000 at December 31, 2011. The growth in 
assets is primarily made up of an 8.19% growth in net loans and a 
16.22% growth in securities. The growth was primarily funded by a 
12.66% growth in deposits and a 6.59% growth in short term 
borrowings. 

The growth in the net loan portfolio was primarily made up of growth 
in commercial operating and commercial real estate loans of 
$27,682,000 and real estate secured by 1–4 and multi-family of 
$12,406,000. Approximately $102,562,000 of fixed rate long-term 
residential real estate loans were sold in the secondary market 
during 2012 while $58,051,000 were sold in 2011. Agricultural real 
estate loans totaling $3,403,000 were sold in the secondary market 
during 2012, while $6,020,000 were sold in 2011. Management 
continues to place emphasis on the quality versus the quantity of 
the credits placed in the portfolio. 

In addition to lending, the Company has focused on maintaining and 
enhancing high levels of fee income for its existing services and new 
services. Generation of fee income will be a goal of the Company 
and should be a source of continued revenues in the future. 

Results of Operations Summary 
The Company’s earnings are primarily dependent on net interest 
income, the difference between interest income and interest 
expense. Interest income is a function of the balances of loans, 
securities and other interest earning assets outstanding during the 
period and the yield earned on such assets. Interest expense is a 
function of the balances of deposits and borrowings outstanding 
during the same period and the rates paid on such deposits and 
borrowings. The Company’s earnings are also affected by provisions 
for loan losses, service charges, trust income, other non-interest 
income and expense and income taxes. Non-interest expense  

Consolidated Income Summary (Amounts in Thousands of Dollars) 

consists primarily of employee compensation and benefits,  
occupancy and equipment expenses and general and administrative 
expenses. 

Prevailing economic conditions as well as federal regulations 
concerning monetary and fiscal policies as they pertain to financial 
institutions significantly affect the Company. Deposit balances are 
influenced by a number of factors including interest rates paid on 
competing personal investments and the level of personal income 
and savings within the institution’s market. In addition, growth of 
deposit balances is influenced by the perceptions of customers 
regarding the stability of the financial services industry. Lending 
activities are influenced by the demand for housing, competition 
from other lending institutions, as well as lower interest rate levels, 
which may stimulate loan refinancing. The primary sources of funds 
for lending activities include deposits, loan payments, borrowings 
and funds provided from operations. 

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company reported 
consolidated net income of $6,840,000, a $783,000 (12.93%) 
increase from 2011. Net interest income after provision for loan 
losses for the periods being compared increased $489,000 or 
2.77%. Other operating income increased $3,165,000 (29.74%) 
and other expenses increased $2,175,000 (10.94%) from 2011. 

Analysis of Net Income 
The Company’s assets are primarily comprised of interest earning 
assets including commercial, agricultural, consumer and real estate 
loans, as well as federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits in 
banks and securities. Average earning assets equaled 
$721,709,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. A 
combination of interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposits, 
securities sold under agreement to repurchase, other borrowings 
and capital funds are employed to finance these assets.

The amounts recorded in the provision for loan losses are 
determined from management’s quarterly evaluation of the quality 
of the loan portfolio. In this review, such factors as the volume and 
character of the loan portfolio, general economic conditions and 
past loan loss experience are considered. Management believes 
that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for 
possible losses in the portfolio as of December 31, 2012. 

Other Income 
Other income may be divided into two broad categories – recurring 
and non-recurring. Trust fees and service charges on deposit 
accounts are the major sources of recurring other income. 
Investment securities gains and other income vary annually. Other 
income for the period ended December 31, 2012 was 
$13,808,000, an increase of $3,165,000 (29.74%) from 2011. An 
increase in trust services income of $1,405,000, an increase in 
gain on sale of loans of $698 and an increase in security gains of 
$544,000 primarily accounted for the increase. 

Other Expense 
Other expense for the period ended December 31, 2012 totaled  
$22,064,000, an increase of $2,175,000 (10.94%) from 2011 
year-end totals. Salaries and employee benefits expense aggregated             
58.20% and 56.65% of total other expense for the years ended 
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

The yield on average earning assets for the year ended 2012 was 
3.63% while the average cost of funds for the same period was 
1.07% on average interest bearing liabilities of $623,528,000. The 
yield on average earning assets for the year ended 2011 was 
4.10%, while the average cost of funds for the same period was 
1.36% on average interest bearing liabilities of $580,764,000. The 
increase in the net interest income of $289,000 can be attributed 
to the 8.99% increase in average earning assets and the 0.29% 
decrease in average cost of funds, which was partially offset by the          
0.47% decrease in yield on earning assets. 

Provision for Loan Losses 
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans 
outstanding is 1.54% as of December 31, 2012, compared to 
1.38% as of December 31, 2011. Net loan charge-offs totaled 
$349,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 
$1,473,000 in 2011.

Income Taxes 
The Company files its federal income tax return on a consolidated 
basis with the Bank. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial 
statements for detail of income taxes. 

Liquidity 
The concept of liquidity comprises the ability of an enterprise to 
maintain sufficient cash flow to meet its needs and obligations on a 
timely basis. Bank liquidity must thus be considered in terms of the 
nature and mix of the institution’s sources and uses of funds. 

Bank liquidity is provided from both assets and liabilities. The asset 
side provides liquidity through regular maturities of investment 
securities and loans. Investment securities with maturities of one year 
or less, deposits with banks and federal funds sold are a primary 
source of asset liquidity. On December 31, 2012, these categories 
totaled $36,257,000 or 4.51% of assets, compared to $25,343,000 
or 3.51% the previous year. 

As of December 31, 2012, securities held to maturity included 
$314,000 of gross unrealized gains and no gross unrealized losses on 
securities which management intends to hold until maturity. Such 
amounts are not expected to have a material effect on future earnings 
beyond the usual amortization of premium and accretion of discount. 

Closely related to the management of liquidity is the management of 
rate sensitivity (management of variable rate assets and liabilities), 
which focuses on maintaining stable net interest margin, an important 
factor in earnings growth and stability. Emphasis is placed on 
maintaining an evenly balanced rate sensitivity position to avoid wide 
swings in margins and minimize risk due to changes in interest rates. 

The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee is charged with the 
responsibility of prudently managing the volumes and mixes of assets 
and liabilities of the subsidiary bank. 

Management believes that it has structured its pricing mechanisms 
such that the net interest margin should maintain acceptable levels in 
2013, regardless of the changes in interest rates that may occur. The 
following table shows the repricing period for interest-earning assets 
and interest-bearing liabilities and the related repricing gap:  

Effects of Inflation 
Until recent years, the economic environment in which the Company 
operates has been one of significant increases in the prices of most 
goods and services and a corresponding decline in the purchasing 
power of the dollar. 

Banks are affected differently than other commercial enterprises by 
the effects of inflation. Some reasons for these disparate effects are: 
a) premises and equipment for banks represent a relatively small 
proportion of total assets; b) a bank’s assets and liability structure is 
substantially monetary in nature, which can be converted into a fixed 
number of dollars regardless of changes in prices, such as loans and 
deposits; and c) the majority of a bank’s income is generated through 
net interest income and not from goods or services rendered. 

Although inflation may impact both interest rates and volume of loans 
and deposits, the major factor that affects net interest income is how

Capital  
The ability to generate and maintain capital at adequate levels is 
critical to the Company’s long-term success. A common measure of 
capitalization for financial institutions is primary capital as a percent of 
total assets. 

Regulations also require the Company to maintain certain minimum 
capital levels in relation to consolidated Company assets. Regulations 
require a ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%. 

Asset Liability Management 
Since changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on 
operations, the Company has implemented, and currently maintains, 
an asset liability management committee at the Bank to monitor and 
react to the changes in interest rates and other economic conditions. 
Research concerning interest rate risk is supplied by the Company 
from information received from a third-party source. The committee 
acts upon this information by adjusting pricing, fee income parameters 
and/or marketing emphasis. 

The Company’s capital, as defined by the regulations, was 15.60% of 
risk-weighted assets as of December 31, 2012. In addition, a leverage 
ratio of at least 4.00% is to be maintained. As of December 31, 3012, 
the Company’s leverage ratio was 9.44%. 

Common Stock Information and Dividends 
The Company’s common stock is held by 256 shareholders as of 
December 31, 2012, and is traded in a limited over-the-counter 
market. 

On December 31, 2012 the market price of the Company’s common 
stock was $26.15. Market price is based on stock transactions in the 
market. Dividends on common stock of $1,253,000 were declared by 
the Board of Directors of the Company for the year ended 
December 31, 2012. 

Financial Report 
Upon written request of any shareholder of record on December 31, 
2012, the Company will provide, without charge, a copy of its 2012 
Annual Report including financial statements and schedules. 
Previously, the Company filed a Form 15 with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission to discontinue the filing of quarterly (10-Q) and 
annual (10-K) reports based on the Company’s number of 
stockholders. 

Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders 
The annual meeting of stockholders will be May 14, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. 
at the corporate headquarters, 1201 Broadway, Quincy, Illinois.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the Board of Directors 
First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. 
Quincy, Illinois 

Report on the Financial Statements 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. and 
subsidiaries which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related 
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholder’s equity and cash flows for 
the years then ended and the related notes to 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; 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. 

Auditor’s 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
consolidated financial statements are free of 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 auditor’s 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. 

Opinion 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the 
financial position of First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the 
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles 
generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. 

Nature of Business and Summary of Significant 
Accounting Policies 

Nature of Business 
First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. (Company) is a bank holding company which 
owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of First Bankers Trust 
Company, N.A. (Bank), First Bankers Trust Services, Inc. (Trust Services), 
FBIL Statutory Trust I (Trust I), FBIL Statutory Trust II (Trust II) and FBIL 
Statutory Trust III (Trust III). The Bank is engaged in banking and bank 
related services and serves a market area consisting primarily of Adams, 
McDonough, Schuyler, Hancock, Sangamon and adjacent Illinois counties, 
and Marion, Lewis and Shelby counties in Missouri. Trust Services provides 
asset and custodial management for clients throughout the country. All 
administration is conducted in Quincy, IL, with sales offices in Chicago and 
Springfield, IL, St. Peters, MO, Philadelphia, PA and Phoenix, AZ. Trusts I, II 
and III were capitalized for the purpose of issuing company obligated 
mandatory redeemable preferred securities. 

Accounting Estimates 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates 
and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The 
allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective as it requires material 
estimates that are susceptible to significant change. The fair value 
disclosure of financial instruments is an estimate that can be computed 
within a range. 

Basis of Consolidation 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts 
of First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, except 
Trusts, I, II and III, which do not meet the criteria for consolidating. All 
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in 
consolidation. 

Presentation of Cash Flows 
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes 
cash on hand and amounts due from banks, including cash items in process 
of clearing. Cash flows from federal funds sold, loans to customers, deposits 
and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reported net. 

Trust Services Fiduciary Activities and Assets 
Trust Services provides fiduciary related services, including asset 
management and custodial services to individual and corporate clients. 
Assets held by Trust Services are not assets of the Company, except for cash 
deposits held by the Bank, and accordingly, are not included in the 
consolidated financial statements. During the course of discharging its 
respective responsibilities for each client, Trust Services is subject to a 
number of federal and state regulatory bodies and associated rules 
governing each type of account. Trust Services is regulated by the Federal 
Reserve Bank of St. Louis and the Illinois Department of Financial and 
Professional Regulation. 

Securities 
Securities held to maturity are those for which the Company has the ability 
and intent to hold to maturity. Securities meeting such criteria at the date of 
purchase and as of the balance sheet date are carried at amortized cost, 
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, computed 
by the interest method over their contracted lives. 

Securities available for sale are accounted for at fair value and the 
unrealized holding gains or losses, net of their deferred income tax effect, 
are presented as increases or decreases in accumulated other 
comprehensive income, as a separate component of equity. 

Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are based upon the 
adjusted book value of the specific securities sold and are included in 
earnings. 

There were no trading securities as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. 

All securities are evaluated to determine whether declines in fair value below 
their amortized cost are other-than-temporary. In estimating other-than-
temporary impairment losses on debt securities, management considers a 
number of factors including, but not limited to (1) the length of time and 
extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, (2) the 
financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) the current 
market conditions and (4) the intent of the Company to not sell the security 
prior to recovery and whether it is not more-likely-than-not that it will be 
required to sell the security prior to recovery. If the Company does not intend 
to sell the security, and it is unlikely the entity will be required to sell the 
security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company will 
recognize the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a 
debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive 
income. For held to maturity debt securities, the amount of an other-than-
temporary impairment recorded in other comprehensive income for the 
noncredit portion would be amortized prospectively over the remaining life of 
the security on the basis of the timing of future estimated cash flows of the 
security. 

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses 
Loans held for sale:  Residential real estate and agricultural loans, which are 
originated and intended for resale in the secondary market in the 
foreseeable future, are classified as held for sale. These loans are carried at 
the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. As assets 
specifically acquired for resale, the origination of, disposition of, and 
gain/loss on these loans are classified as operating activities in the 
statements of cash flows. 

Loans held for investment:  Loans that management has the intent and 
ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until pay-off or maturity occurs, 
are classified as held for investment. These loans are stated at the amount 
of unpaid principal adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for estimated 
losses on loans, and any deferred fees and/or costs on originated loans. 
Interest is credited to earnings as earned based on the principal amount 
outstanding. Deferred direct loan origination fees and/or costs are 
amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield. As assets held for 
and used in the production of services, the origination and collection of 
these loans is classified as an investing activity in the statements of cash 
flows.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Allowance for credit losses and fair value are disclosed by portfolio segment, 
while credit quality information, impaired financing receivables, nonaccrual 
status and troubled debt restructurings are presented by class of financing 
receivable. A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity 
develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine its 
allowance for credit losses. A class of financing receivable is defined as a 
further disaggregation of a portfolio segment based on risk characteristics 
and the entity’s method for monitoring and assessing credit risk. The 
disclosures are presented at the level of disaggregation that management 
uses when assessing and monitoring the portfolio’s risk and performance.  

Troubled debt restructures:  Troubled debt restructuring exists when the 
Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial 
difficulties, grants a concession (either imposed by court order, law or 
agreement between the borrower and the Company) to the borrower that it 
would not otherwise consider. These concessions could include forgiveness 
of principal, extension of maturity dates and reduction of stated interest 
rates or accrued interest. The Company is attempting to maximize its 
recovery of the balances of the loans through these various concessionary 
restructurings. See Note 3 for disclosure of the Company’s troubled debt 
restructurings. 

The Company’s portfolio segments are as follows: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Commercial operating  
Commercial real estate 
Agricultural operating 
Agricultural real estate 
Construction and land development 
Real estate secured by 1-4 and multi-family  
Consumer 

Given the risk characteristics and the Company’s method for monitoring and 
assessing credit risk, further disaggregation of the loan portfolio is not 
warranted, and therefore, the Company’s classes equal their segments. 

Generally, for all classes of loans, loans are considered past due when 
contractual payments are delinquent for 31 days or greater. 

For all classes of loans, loans will generally be placed on nonaccrual status 
when the loan has become 90 days past due (unless the loan is well secured 
and in the process of collection); or if any of the following conditions exist: 
It becomes evident that the borrower will not make payments, or 
will not or cannot meet the terms for renewal of a matured loan, 

 

  When full repayment of principal and interest is not expected, 
  When the loan is graded “substandard” and the future accrual of 

interest is not protected by sound collateral values, 

  When the loan is graded “doubtful”, 
  When the borrower files bankruptcy and an approved plan of 

reorganization or liquidation is not anticipated in the near future, or 

  When foreclosure action is initiated. 

When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, payments received will be 
applied to the principal balance. However, interest may be taken on a cash 
basis in the event the loan is fully secured and the risk of loss is minimal. 
Previously recorded but uncollected interest on a loan placed in nonaccrual 
status is accounted for as follows:  if the previously accrued but uncollected 
interest and the principal amount of the loan is protected by sound collateral 
value based upon a current, independent qualified appraisal, such interest 
may remain on the Company’s books. If such interest is not protected, it is 
considered a loss with the amount thereof recorded in the current year being 
reversed against current earnings, and the amount recorded in the prior year 
being charged against the allowance for possible loan losses. 

For all classes of loans, nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status 
provided the following criteria are met: 

 

 
 

The loan is current, and all principal and interest amounts 
contractually due have been made, 
The loan is well secured and in the process of collection, and  
Prospects for future principal and interest payments are not in 
doubt. 

Allowance for loan losses:  For all portfolio segments, the allowance for loan 
losses is maintained at the level considered adequate by management to 
provide for losses that are probable. The allowance is increased by 
provisions charged to expense and reduced by net charge-offs. In 
determining the adequacy of the allowance balance, the Company makes 
continuous evaluations of the loan portfolio and related off-balance sheet 
commitments, considered current economic conditions, historical loan loss 
experience, reviews of specific problem loans and other factors. 

A discussion of the risk characteristics and the allowance for loan losses by 
each portfolio segment follows: 

For commercial operating loans, the Company focuses on small and mid-
sized businesses with primary operations in transportation, warehousing and 
manufacturing, as well as serving as building contractors, business services 
companies, health care providers, financial organizations and retailers. The 
Company provides a wide range of commercial loans, including lines of 
credit for working capital and operational purposes, and term loans for the 
acquisition of real estate, facilities, equipment and other purposes. Approval 
is generally based on the following factors: 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Sufficient cash flow to support debt repayment; 
Ability and stability of current management of the borrower; 
Positive earnings and financial trends; 
Earnings projections based on reasonable assumptions; 
Financial strength of the industry and business; and 
Value and marketability of collateral. 

Collateral for commercial loans generally includes accounts receivable, 
inventory, equipment and real estate. The lending policy specifies approved 
collateral types and corresponding maximum advance percentages. The 
value of collateral pledged on loans typically exceeds the loan amount by a 
margin sufficient to absorb potential erosion of its value in the event of 
foreclosure and cover the loan amount plus costs incurred to convert it to 
cash. 

The lending policy specifies maximum term limits for commercial operating 
loans. For term loans, the maximum term is 7 years. The lending policy 
references compliance with the interagency appraisal and evaluation 
guidelines effective December 2010. Where the purpose of the loan is to 
finance depreciable equipment, the term loan generally does not exceed the 
estimated useful life of the asset. For lines of credit, the typical maximum 
term is 365 days. However, longer maturities may be approved if the loan is 
secured by readily marketable collateral.

In addition, the Company often takes personal guarantees to help assure 
repayment. Loans may be made on an unsecured basis if warranted by the 
overall financial condition of the borrower. 

Commercial real estate loans, construction and land development loans and 
real estate second by multi-family loans are subject to underwriting 
standards and processes similar to commercial operating loans and to real 
estate loans including the factors regarding approval of the loan noted 
previously. 

Collateral for these loans generally includes the underlying real estate and 
improvements, and may include additional assets of the borrower. The 
lending policy specifies maximum loan-to-value limits based on the category 
of commercial real estate (commercial real estate loans on improved 
property, raw land, land development and commercial construction). The 
lending policy also references compliance with the interagency appraisal and 
evaluation guidelines effective December 2010. In addition, the Company 
often takes personal guarantees to help assure repayment. 

Agricultural operating and real estate loans are subject to underwriting 
standards and processes similar to commercial loans including the approval 
factors noted previously. The Company provides a wide range of agriculture 
loans, including lines of credit for working capital and operational purposes, 
and term loans for the acquisition of real estate, facilities, equipment and 
other purposes. 

Collateral for agricultural loans generally includes accounts receivable, 
inventory (typically grain or livestock), equipment and real estate. The 
lending policy specifies approved collateral types and corresponding 
maximum advance percentages. The value of collateral pledged on loans 
typically exceeds the loan amount by a margin sufficient to absorb potential 
erosion of its value in the event of foreclosure and cover the loan amount 
plus costs incurred to convert it to cash. 

The lending policy specifies maximum term limits for agricultural loans. For 
term loans, the maximum term is 7 years. The lending policy references 
compliance with the interagency appraisal and evaluation guidelines 
effective December 2010. Where the purpose of the loan is to finance 
depreciable equipment, the term loan generally does not exceed the 
estimated useful life of the asset. For lines of credit, the typical maximum 
term is 365 days. However, longer maturities may be approved if the loan is 
secured by readily marketable collateral. 

In addition, the Company often takes personal guarantees to help assure 
repayment. Loans may be made on an unsecured basis if warranted by the 
overall financial condition of the borrower. 

In some instances for all loans, it may be appropriate to originate or 
purchase loans that are exceptions to the guidelines and limits established 
within the lending policy described above and below. In general, exceptions 
to the lending policy do not significantly deviate from the guidelines and 
limits established within the lending policy and, if there are exceptions, they 
are clearly noted as such and specifically identified in loan approval 
documents. 

For loans categorized as “commercial,” which would include the segments:  
commercial operating, commercial real estate, agricultural real estate, 
agricultural operating, construction and land development and real estate 
secured by multi-family, the allowance for estimated losses on loans consist 
of specific and general components. 

The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired, as 
defined below. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance 
is established when the collateral value (or discounted cash flows or 
observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying 
value of that loan. 

These loans are considered impaired when, based on current information 
and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the 
scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the 
contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by 
management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral 
value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest 
payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and 
payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management 
determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a 
case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances 
surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the 
reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount 
of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is 
measured on a case-by-case basis by either the present value of the 
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, 
the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the 
loan is collateral dependent. 

The general components consist of quantitative and qualitative factors and 
covers non-impaired loans. The quantitative factors are based on historical 
charge-offs experience and expected loss given default derived from the 
Company’s internal risk rating process. See below for a detailed description 
of the Company’s internal risk rating scale. The qualitative factors are 
determined based on an assessment of internal and/or external influences 
on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating 
data.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

The Company utilizes the following internal risk rating scale: 

Type 1 (Substantially Risk Free) 
General Statement:  This rating should be assigned to loans with virtually no 
credit risk, such as loans fully secured by certificates of deposit and other 
deposit accounts. It may be assigned to other loans to businesses or 
individuals with little or no risk. 

Business Loans:  A loan to a business may be rated 1 if it exhibits enough of 
these characteristics to make it substantially risk free: 

 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 

Bank has a high regard for the character, competence and 
diligence of management. 
Earnings are strong and well-assured. 
There is ample liquidity. 
Loans have paid as agreed. 
Abundant collateral which is liquid and has well-defined market 
value. 
Capital position well above industry averages. 
Loan structure is appropriate and documentation complete. 
No adverse trends. 

Loans to Individuals:  Loans to individuals may be assigned a 1 rating if the 
following conditions are met: 

 

 

 

The primary source of repayment is strong and is considered likely 
to remain strong throughout the life of the loan,  
The loan is secured by collateral with a loan to value (LTV) of less 
than 50% provided that the collateral must have well-defined 
market-value, must have satisfactory liquidity and should retain 
most of its value if the primary source of repayment falters. 
The individual has significant liquidity and is considered likely to 
remain liquid over the life of the loan. 

Type 2 (Low Risk) 
General Statement:  This rating should be assigned to loans that have little 
credit risk. Borrowers in this category have strong earnings and capital and a 
secondary source of repayment that is sufficient to fully repay the loan. The 
business is considered to be highly resistant to adverse changes in 
economic or industry conditions. 

Business Loans:  Following are some characteristics of loans that should be 
rated 2. A 2 loan may not exhibit all of the following characteristics, but its 
strengths – primarily the sufficiency/reliability of the sources of repayment – 
result in a loan with little credit risk. To the extent that a loan is not 
characterized by one or more of the factors listed below, the deficiency is not 
considered to adversely affect the likelihood of repayment in any material 
way. 
 

Bank has a high regard for the character, competence and 
diligence of management. 
Consistent record of earnings; the earnings stream is considered 
resistant to changes in economic conditions. 
Liquidity at or above industry norms. 
Loans have paid as agreed. 
Collateral margin is well within policy guidelines with satisfactory 
liquidity and well-defined market value. 
Capital position above industry averages. 
Loan structure appropriate and documentation complete. 
No adverse trends. 

 

 
 
 

 
 
 

Loans to Individuals:  Loans to individuals may be rated 2 if the individual’s 
earnings stream is considered strong and reliable and the individual 
maintains a conservative financial posture. The income may be from any 
source, including business income, passive income, or professional income. 
Individuals are considered to maintain a conservative financial posture if 
they consistently leave themselves a wide margin of safety in terms of their 
ability to repay debt. This margin typically manifests itself in the form of 
significant liquidity, strong debt service coverage (DSC) ratios and/or quick 
repayment of loans. 

Type 3 (Normal Risk) 
General Statement:  Borrowers in this category have satisfactory earnings 
and net worth. In most cases, there is collateral or guarantor support which 
provides a satisfactory secondary source of repayment. The business is 
considered to be capable of operation profitably throughout the normal 
business cycle. 

Business Loans:  Loans to businesses should be rated 3 if financial strength 
is typical for the industry and there is no significant adverse trends. 
Following are some characteristics of 3 loans. A loan may not exhibit all of 
the following characteristics, but its strengths – primarily the 
sufficiency/reliability of the sources of repayment – result in a loan with 
normal levels of risk. 

  Management is considered to be capable and diligent. 
 

The earnings stream is satisfactory under present conditions and is 
considered likely to continue. 
Satisfactory liquidity. 
Loans have paid as agreed. 
Collateral is considered sufficient to repay the loan in full within a 
reasonable marketing time. 
Capital position within a reasonable range above or below industry 
average. 
No material deficiencies in loan structure or documentation. 
Trends typically flat or positive. No material adverse trends. 

 
 
 

 

 
 

Loans to Individuals:  Loans may be unsecured and still rated 3 if the 
individual’s earnings stream is both strong and reliable. If earnings are not 
as strong, loans should be rated 3 if the bank’s collateral is considered 
sufficient to repay the loans. 

Type 4 (Above Average Risk) 
General Statement:  Borrowers in this category are not as strong financially 
as the typical business in the same industry. There may be discernible 
weakness in management, earnings, capital or the bank’s secondary 
sources of repayment. The business is considered to be susceptible to 
adverse changes in economic or industry conditions. 

Business Loans:  Loans to businesses should be rated 4 if financial strength 
is somewhat below industry averages, but the loans are expected to repay as 
agreed if the company’s current financial conditions stays the same or 
strengthens. Following are some examples of weaknesses which may cause 
a loan to have above average levels of risk. A 4 loan will not have all of these 
weaknesses, but will have one or more: 

 
 

 
 

There is some question as to the strength of management. 
The company is profitable in most years, but earnings are typically 
below industry averages. 
Liquidity may be limited as evidenced by occasional delinquencies. 
There may be a less than desirable margin in collateral; the 
collateral may be difficult to market; or the value of collateral may 
vary significantly depending on economic conditions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Capital position is below industry average. 

 
  May have deficiencies in loan structure, incomplete legal 

documentation or missing financial information. 

  May have an adverse trend in sales or earnings; may be capital 

account withdrawals in excess of earnings. 

Loans to Individuals:  Loans to individual should be rated 4 if the bank 
appears to have a satisfactory source of repayment for the loan, but there is 
concern about the individual’s earnings stream, leverage or tolerance for 
risk. 

Type 5 (Watch Loan) 
General Statement:  Borrowers in this category have readily apparent 
weaknesses in their financial condition. There may be weak earnings, thin 
capital or an adverse trend that is expected to continue. The borrower 
currently has the capacity to repay, but is of marginal strength and is 
considered to have little ability to overcome economic events that would 
adversely affect the business. Loans with material documentation or 
structural deficiencies may also be rated Watch at the discretion of bank or 
loan review personnel. 

Business Loans:  Following are examples of weaknesses which may warrant 
a Watch rating. Loans rated Watch will typically have several of the following 
weaknesses: 

 

 
 

 

 
 

There is often a question about the ability of management to 
operate the business successfully over time. 
The earnings stream is weak, with possible periods of loss. 
Liquidity may be a problem as evidenced by delinquencies or 
amortization periods longer than is typical for the type of collateral 
securing the loan. 
There may be reasonable doubt as to whether the loan would be 
repaid in full from the sale of collateral. Possible issues include:  
third party claims to the collateral, difficulty in obtaining 
possession, condition, marketing time and value under current 
market conditions. 
Capital position less than half of industry average. 
Common to have deficiencies in loan structure, incomplete legal 
documentation or missing financial information. Trends are flat or 
negative. It is common for there to be a decline in sales, earnings 
and/or capital. 

Loans to Individuals: See “General Statement” for Watch loans. 

Type 6 (Substandard) 
General Statement:  These loans have one or more pronounced weaknesses 
which jeopardize their timely liquidation. Neither the earnings of the 
business nor its realistic net worth adequately protect the bank from 
possible loss. There is a distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some 
loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. 

Business Loans:  Following are examples of weaknesses which may warrant 
a substandard rating. Loans rated Substandard will typically have several of 
the following weaknesses: 

  Management often considered to have made incorrect strategic 

 

 
 
 

decisions or to be weak or inattentive. 
Earnings stream is insufficient to repay loans on a timely basis. 
Business normally has periods of loss, sometimes large. 
Liquidity usually strained by operating losses. 
Loans usually renegotiated or past-due. 
It may be unlikely that the loan would be repaid in full from the sale 
of collateral. Possible issues include: third party claims to the 
collateral; difficulty in obtaining possession, condition, marketing 
time and value under current market conditions. 

 

 

 

Typical reliance upon guarantors or other secondary sources of 
repayment that was not originally anticipated. 
Documentation deficiencies – including lack of important financial 
information – are common. 
In most cases that are negative trends, such as declines in sales, 
earnings and/or capital. 

Loans to Individuals:  Loans to individual borrowers should be rated 
Substandard if there is a pronounced weakness in income, liquidity or 
collateral that is likely to affect the ability of the bank to collect the debt in 
full. Debt levels may be significantly above accepted guidelines relative to 
income. 

Type 7 (Doubtful) 
General Statement:  Loans with well-defined weaknesses that make 
collection or liquidation of the debt in full improbable based on current 
information. 

Business Loans:  Typical characteristics of a doubtful loan include the 
following: 
 
 
 

Large operating losses. 
Collateral insufficient to repay loan. 
Typical to have little or no capital. Continued viability of business is 
doubtful. 
Unreliable or no alternative sources of repayment. 
Loss anticipated, exact loss figure cannot be determined at 
present. 

 
 

Loans to Individuals:  Borrower’s ability or willingness to repay makes 
collection of the debt in full unlikely. Loans may be unsecured or have an 
obvious collateral deficiency. 

Type 8 (Loss) 
General Statement:  Loans with pervasive weaknesses so great that 
principal is considered uncollectible under current circumstances. This 
classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery value, 
but simply that it is no longer practical to defer writing it off. Recovery is 
dependent on favorable future events. 

Normal characteristics: 

 
 

Business has failed or is near failure. 
No reliable source of repayment. 

For these loans categorized as commercial or credit relationships with 
aggregate exposure greater than $500,000, a loan review will be required 
within 15 months of the most recent credit review. The reviews shall be 
completed in enough detail to, at a minimum, validate the risk rating. 
Additionally, the reviews shall determine whether any documentation 
exceptions exist, appropriate written analysis is included in the loan file and 
whether credit policies have been properly adhered to. 

An ongoing independent review is conducted of a sampling of residential real 
estate as well to assess underwriting quality and adherence to policy. 

Many of the residential real estate loans underwritten by the Company 
conform to the underwriting requirements of MPF, Fannie Mae or other 
secondary market aggregators to allow the bank to resell loans in the 
secondary market.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Servicing rights are retained on many, but not all, of the residential real 
estate loans sold in the secondary market. The lending policy references 
compliance with the interagency appraisal and evaluation guidelines 
effective December 2010. 

The Company provides many types of consumer and other loans including 
motor vehicle, home improvement, home equity, signature loans and small 
personal credit lines. The lending policy addresses specific credit guidelines 
by consumer loan type. 

For residential real estate loans, and consumer loans, these large groups of 
smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for 
impairment. The Company applies a quantitative factor based on historical 
charge-off experience in total for each of these segments. Accordingly, the 
Company generally does not separately identify individual residential real 
estate loans and/or consumer loans for impairment disclosures, unless such 
loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial 
difficulties of the borrower or it has been identified for another specific 
reason. 

Troubled debt restructures are considered impaired loans and are subject to 
the same allowance methodology as described above for impaired loans by 
portfolio segment. 

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Bank had loan concentrations in 
agribusiness of 11.67% and 13.76%, respectively, of outstanding loans. The 
Bank had no additional industry loan concentrations, which in 
management’s judgment, were considered to be significant. The Bank had 
no foreign loans outstanding as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. 

Transfers of Financial Assets 
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, only when control 
over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is 
deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the 
Company (2) the transferee obtains the right to pledge or exchange the 
assets it received, and no condition both constrains the transferee from 
taking advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a 
modest benefit to the transferor and (3) the Company does not maintain 
effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to 
repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the 
holder to return specific assets. 

Credit Related Financial Instruments 
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments 
to extend credit, including commitments under lines of credit and standby 
letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are 
funded. 

Premises, Furniture and Equipment 
Premises, furniture and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated 
depreciation. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over 
the estimated useful lives of the assets. 

Other Real Estate Owned 
Other real estate owned (OREO), which is included with other assets, 
represents properties acquired through foreclosure, in-substance 
foreclosure or other proceedings. Property is recorded at fair value less cost 
to sell when acquired. Property is evaluated regularly to ensure that the 
recorded amount is supported by the current fair value. Subsequent write-
downs to fair value are charged to earnings. 

Goodwill 
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired 
in connection with business combinations. Goodwill is evaluated for 
impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has occurred. 
The Company has completed its annual goodwill impairment test and has 
determined that goodwill was not impaired at December 31, 2012 and 
2011. 

Prepaid FDIC Insurance Assessment 
In November 2009, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) 
adopted a final rule amending the assessment regulations to require insured 
depository institutions to prepay their quarterly risk-based assessment for all 
of 2010, 2011 and 2012. The payment, which was made in December 
2009, was recorded as a prepaid asset and is being amortized over the 
assessment period. 

Repurchase Agreements 
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are classified as 
secured borrowings, generally mature either daily or within one year from the 
transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are 
reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. 
The underlying securities are held by the Company’s safekeeping agent. The 
Company may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair 
value of the underlying securities. 

Earnings Per Share of Common Stock 
Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net 
income, after deducting preferred stock dividends and accretion, by the 
weighted average number of shares outstanding during each reporting 
period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock assume the conversion, 
exercise or issuance of all potential common stock equivalents unless the 
effect is to reduce the loss or increase the income per common share from 
continuing operations. The Company had no common stock equivalents as 
of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. 

Income Taxes 
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax 
assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating 
loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized 
for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences 
between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. 
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the 
opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of 
the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities 
are adjusted for the effects of changes in the tax laws and rates on the date 
of enactment.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

When the tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken 
would be sustained upon examinations by the taxing authorities, while 
others could be subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken. 
The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax-position 
only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on 
examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the 
position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a 
position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 
50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management 
evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had 
taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial 
statements. 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a 
component of income tax expense. 

Comprehensive Income 
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period 
from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Comprehensive 
income is the total of net income and other comprehensive income, which 
for the Company, is comprised of unrealized gains and losses on securities 
available for sale and the interest rate swap. 

As of December 31, 2012, accumulated other comprehensive income on the 
consolidated balance sheets includes $4,291,000  as a result of unrealized 
gains on securities available for sale and $(64,000) as a result of the 
interest rate swap. As of December 31, 2011, accumulated other 
comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets includes 
$4,826,000 as a result of unrealized gains on securities available for sale 
and $(105,000) as a result of the interest rate swap. 

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or 
state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 
2009. 

Subsequent Events 
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through March 15, 
2013, the date that the financial statements were available to be issued. 

Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities 
Interest rate swaps are derivatives that are recognized on the balance sheet 
at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly 
effective and that is designed and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, are 
recorded in other comprehensive income, until earnings are affected by the 
variability of cash flows (e.g., when periodic settlements on a variable rate 
liability are recorded in earnings). 

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging 
instruments and hedged items as well as its risk-management objective and 
strategy for undertaking various hedged transactions. The Company also 
formally assesses both at the hedge’s inception and, on an ongoing basis, 
whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly 
effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. 
When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or 
that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues 
hedge accounting prospectively, as discussed below. 

The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when:  (1) it is 
determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in 
the cash flows of the hedged item (2) the derivative expires or is sold, 
terminated and exercised or (3) management determines that designation of 
the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate. If hedge 
accounting is discontinued, the derivative is carried at fair value on the 
balance sheet, with changes in its fair value recognized in current-period 
earnings. 

Current Accounting Developments 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 
220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 amends 
Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, to require that all non-owner changes in 
stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of 
comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The 
amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other 
comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income 
must be reclassified to net income. The option to present components of 
other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in 
stockholders’ equity was eliminated. ASU 2011-05 was effective for the 
current fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The adoption of this ASU 
resulted in the addition of the statement of comprehensive income to the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income 
(Topic 220):  Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other 
Comprehensive Income. The amendments require an entity to provide 
information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other 
comprehensive income (AOCI) by component. In addition, an entity is 
required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is 
presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the 
respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required to 
be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts 
that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an 
entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required. Adoption 
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated 
financial statements.

Fair value and unrealized losses, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss 
position, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 are summarized as follows. (Amounts in Thousands of Dollars): 

As of December 31, 2012, the investment portfolio included 396 securities. Of this number, 53 securities have current unrealized losses and 15 of them have 
current unrealized losses which have existed for longer than one year. All of the debt securities with unrealized losses are considered to be acceptable credit 
risks. Based upon an evaluation of the available evidence, including recent changes in market rates, credit rating information and information obtained from 
regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value of these debt securities are temporary except for the two securities discussed below. In 
addition, the Company does not have the intent to sell these debt securities and it is unlikely that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities prior 
to their anticipated recovery. 

In fiscal year 2009, the Company recognized other-than-temporary impairment of $1,930,000 on two securities of which $653,000 was associated with credit 
loss and was, therefore, recognized in income with the remaining non-credit related portion of $1,277,000 being recognized in other comprehensive income. 
For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, none and $30,000, respectively, of credit loss was recognized in earnings.

   *Performing loans are those which are accruing and less than 90 days past due. Nonperforming loans are those on nonaccrual, accruing loans that are 

greater than or equal to 90 days past due, and accruing TDR’s.  

For commercial operating, commercial real estate, agricultural operating, agricultural real estate, real estate secured by multifamily and a portion of the 
construction and land development loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator is internally assigned risk ratings. Each of these loans is assigned a risk rating 
upon origination. The risk rating is reviewed every 12 months, at a minimum, and on an as needed basis depending on the specific circumstances of the loan. 
Some classes of loans contain loans that are risk rated and loans that are not as loans of a more homogeneous nature are not risk rated. See Note 1 for further 
discussion on the Company’s risk ratings. 

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

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) total $3,371,000 and $4,054,000, respectively. For each class of loans, the following 
summarizes the number and investment in troubled debt restructuring, by type of concession, that were restructured during the years ended December 31, 
2012 and 2011. (Amounts in Thousands of Dollars): 

There was no financial impact for charge-offs, principal forgiveness or foregone interest for the troubled debt restructurings. The financial impact for specific 
reserves was not significant for the troubled debt restructurings.  

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, none of the Company’s TDRs have redefaulted subsequent to restructure, where a default is defined as a 
delinquency of 90 days or more and/or placement on nonaccrual status.  

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of these loans totaled 
$178,384,000 and $148,959,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has granted loans to directors, principal officers, their immediate families and affiliated companies in which they 
are principal stockholders amounting to $6,272,000  and $6,755,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Junior Subordinated Debentures and Company 
Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred 
Securities of Subsidiary Trusts Holding Solely 
Subordinated Debentures 

Junior subordinated debentures are due to FBIL Statutory Trusts I, II and III, 
which are all 100% owned non-consolidated subsidiaries of the Company. 
The debentures were issued in 2000, 2003 and 2004, respectively, in 
conjunction with each Trust’s issuance of 5,000 shares of Company 
Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities. The debentures all 
bear the same interest rate and terms as the preferred securities, detailed 
following. The debentures are included on the consolidated balance sheets 
as liabilities; however, in accordance with Federal Reserve Board regulations 
in effect at December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company is allowed, for 
regulatory purposes, to include the entire $15,000,000 of the capital 
securities issued by the Trusts in Tier I capital. 

During 2004 FBIL Statutory Trust III issued 5,000 shares of Company 
Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable (COMR) Preferred Securities. 
Distributions are paid quarterly. Cumulative cash distributions are calculated 
at a variable annual rate that is 265 basis points above the 3 month LIBOR 
rate (2.96% and 3.23% as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively). 
The Trust may, at one or more times, defer interest payments on the capital 
securities for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods, but not beyond 
September 15, 2034. At the end of the deferral period, all accumulated and 
unpaid distributions will be paid. The capital securities will be redeemed on 
September 15, 2034 at par plus any accrued and unpaid distributions to the 
date of the redemption; however, the Trust has the option to redeem at any 
time. The redemption may be in whole or in part, but in all cases in a 
principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000. 

Effective January 2009, the Company entered into an interest rate swap 
agreement related to the Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable 
Preferred Securities issued in 2004 by FBIL Statutory Trust III. The swap 
agreement is utilized to manage variable interest rate exposure and is 
designated as a highly effective cash flow hedge. The swap agreement 
expires in 2013 and essentially fixes the rate to be paid at 5.02%. As of 
December 31, 2012 and 2011, the notional amount of the swap is 
$5,000,000 with a fair value of $(103,000) and $(169,000), respectively, 
recorded in other liabilities, and as a reduction to accumulated other 
comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets. 

During 2003 the Company issued 5,000 shares of Company Obligated 
Mandatorily Redeemable (COMR) Preferred Securities of FBIL Statutory Trust 
II Holding Solely Subordinated Debentures. Distributions are paid quarterly. 
Cumulative cash distributions are calculated at a variable annual rate that is 
295 basis points above the 3 month LIBOR rate (3.26% and 3.53% as of 
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively). The Company may, at one or 
more times, defer interest payments on the capital securities for up to 20 
consecutive quarterly periods, but not beyond September 17, 2033. At the 
end of the deferral period, all accumulated and unpaid distributions will be 
paid. The capital securities will be redeemed on September 17, 2033 at par 
plus any accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of the redemption; 
however, the Company has the option to redeem at any time. 

During 2000 the Company issued 5,000 shares of Company Obligated 
Mandatorily Redeemable (COMR) Preferred Securities of FBIL Statutory Trust 
I Holding Solely Subordinated Debentures. Distributions are paid semi-
annually. Cumulative cash distributions are calculated at a 10.60% annual 
rate. The Company may, at one or more times, defer interest payments on 
the capital securities for up to 10 consecutive semi-annual periods, but not 
beyond September 7, 2030. At the end of the deferral period, all 
accumulated and unpaid distributions will be paid. The capital securities will 
be redeemed on September 7, 2030; however, the Company has the option 
to redeem at any time. The redemption price begins at 105.300% to par and 
is reduced by 53 basis points each year until September 7, 2020 when the 
capital securities can be redeemed at par. Any accrued and unpaid 
distributions to the date of the redemption must also be paid. 

Holders of the capital securities have no voting rights, are unsecured and 
rank junior in priority of payment to all of the Trust’s indebtedness and 
senior to the Trust’s capital stock. 

8. 

Preferred Stock, Series A, B and C 

In October 2008, Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization 
Act of 2008 (EESA). One of the provisions resulting from the Act was the 
Treasury Capital Purchase Program (CPP) which provides direct equity 
investment of perpetual preferred stock by the U.S. Treasury in qualified 
financial institutions. In January 2009, the Company, pursuant to the CPP 
implemented under the EESA, issued and sold to the Treasury 10,000 
shares of the Company’s Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, 
together with a warrant to purchase 500 shares of the Company’s 
Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, for an aggregate purchase 
price of $10,000,000 in cash. The warrant had a ten-year term and was 
immediately exercised upon its issuance at the exercise price of $0.01 per 
share.  

The Series A Preferred Stock qualified as Tier 1 capital and paid cumulative 
dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per 
annum thereafter. The Series B Preferred Stock also qualified as Tier 1 
capital and paid cumulative dividends at a rate of 9% per annum. The Series 
A and B Preferred Stock could have been redeemed by the Company at any 
time, subject to approval of the Federal Reserve.  

The Series A and B Preferred Stock were non-voting except for class voting 
rights on matters that would adversely affect the rights of the holders of the 
Series A and B Preferred Stock. 

For accounting purposes, the proceeds of the $10,000,000 were allocated 
between the preferred stock and the warrant based on their relative fair 
values. The entire discount on the preferred stock, created from the initial 
value assigned to the warrant, was to be accreted over a five year period in a 
manner that produced a level preferred stock dividend yield. At the end of 
the fifth year, the carrying amount of the preferred stock would equal its 
liquidation value.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

On September 8, 2011, the Company issued 10,000 shares of Senior Non-
Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C (Series C Preferred Stock) to 
the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) for an aggregate purchase 
price of $10,000,000. The sale of Series C Preferred Stock is the result of 
an investment from the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF), a fund 
established under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 that encourages 
lending to small businesses by providing capital to qualified community 
banks with assets of less than $10 billion. As a requirement of the SBLF, 
simultaneously, the Company redeemed the 10,500 shares of Fixed Rate 
Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A and B (Series A or B 
Preferred Stock), at an aggregate price of $10,500,000 plus accrued and 
unpaid dividends to the date of redemption of $35,000. The Series A and B 
Preferred Stock was issued as a result of the Company’s participation in the 
Treasury’s voluntary Capital Purchase Program (CCP) discussed previously. 

The Series C Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital for the Company. 
Non-cumulative dividends are payable quarterly on the Series C Preferred 
Stock, and the dividend rate is based on changes in the level of “Qualified 
Small Business Lending” or “QSBL” by the Company. Based upon the 
change in the bank’s level of QSBL over the baseline level (as defined by 
SBLF, the baseline average of QSBL for the last two quarters of 2009 and 
the first two quarters of 2010), the dividend rate for the initial dividend 
period, which was from the date of issuance through September 30, 2011, 
was set at 2%, and the dividend rate for the fourth quarter of 2011 was set 
at 1%. For the 2nd through 10th calendar quarters, the annual dividend rate 
may be adjusted to between 1% and 5%, to reflect the amount of change in 
the banks’ level of QSBL. For the 11th calendar quarter through 4.5 years 
after issuance, the dividend rate will be fixed between 1% and 5%, based 
upon the increase in QSBL from the baseline level to the level as of the end 
of the ninth dividend period (i.e., as of September 30, 2013), or will be fixed 
at 7% if there is no increase or there is a decrease in QSBL during such 
period. In addition, beginning on April 1, 2014 and ending on April 1, 2016, 
if there is no increase or there is a decrease in QSBL from the baseline level 
to the level as of the end of the ninth dividend period (i.e., as of 
September 30, 2013), because of the Company’s participation in the CPP, 
the Company will be subject to an additional lending incentive fee of 2% per 
year. After 4.5 years from the issuance, the dividend rate will increase to 9%. 

The Series C Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time at the option of 
the Company, subject to the approval of the Company’s primary federal 
banking regulator. All redemptions must be in amounts equal to at least 25% 
of the number of originally issued shares at $1,000 per share, or 100% of 
the then outstanding shares (if less than 25% of the originally issued 
shares). 

In accordance with the SBLF, the Company may pay dividends on all stock 
assuming Tier 1 capital levels remain at least 90% of the level existing upon 
the date of issuance, September 8, 2011. This threshold is subject to 
reduction depending on increases in the Company’s QSBL. 

The Series C Preferred Stock is nonvoting, other than for consent rights 
granted to Treasury with respect to (i) an authorization or issuance of shares 
ranking senior to the Series C Preferred Stock, (ii) any amendment to the 
rights of the Series C Preferred Stock, (iii) any merger, exchange, dissolution, 
or similar transaction that would affect the rights of the Series C Preferred 
Stock and (iv) any sale of all, or any material portion of, the Company’s 
assets if in conjunction with such sale, the Series C Preferred Stock will not 
be redeemed in full. 

If the Company misses five dividend payments, whether or not consecutive, 
the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock will have the right, but not the 
obligation, to appoint a representative as an observer on the Company’s 
Board of Directors.

Commitments and Contingencies 

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk 
The Bank, in the normal course of business, is a party to financial 
instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its 
customers. These financial instruments include unused lines of credit and 
standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, 
elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the 
consolidated balance sheets. 

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the 
other party to the financial instrument for unused lines of credit and standby 
letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those 
instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making 
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet 
instruments. 

A summary of the Bank’s commitments as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 
is as follows. (Amounts in Thousands of Dollars): 

Unused lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there 
is no violation of any condition established in the contract. The agreements 
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may 
require payment of a fee. Since many of the agreements are expected to 
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not 
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each 
customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of 
collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of 
credit is based upon management’s credit evaluation of the counter-party. 
Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, 
equipment and income-producing commercial properties. 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to 
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees 
are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements 
and, generally, have terms of one year, or less. The credit risk involved in 
issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending 
loan facilities to customers. The Bank holds collateral, as detailed above, 
supporting those commitments if deemed necessary. In the event the 
customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement 
with the third party, the Bank would be required to fund the commitment. 
The maximum potential amount of future payments the Bank could be 
required to make is represented by the contractual amount shown in the 
previous summary. If the commitment is funded, the Bank would be entitled 
to seek recovery from the customer. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, no 
amounts have been recorded as liabilities for the Bank’s potential 
obligations under these guarantees.

The Company has executed contracts for the sale of mortgage loans in the 
secondary market in the amount of $5,040,000 and $4,545,000 as of 
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These amounts include loans 
held for sale of $499,000 and $454,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 
2011, respectively, and loan commitments, included in the summary in this 
Note, of $4,541,000 and $4,091,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, 
respectively. 

A portion of residential mortgage loans sold to investors in the secondary 
market are sold with recourse. Specifically, certain loan sales agreements 
provide that if the borrower becomes 60 days or more delinquent during the 
first six months following the first payment due, and subsequently becomes 
90 days or more delinquent during the first 12 months of the loan, the Bank 
must repurchase the loan from the subject investor. The Bank did not 
repurchase any loans from secondary market investors under the terms of 
these loan sales agreements during the years ended December 31, 2012 
and 2011. In the opinion of management, the risk of recourse to the Bank is 
not significant and, accordingly, no liability has been established. 

Concentration of Credit Risk 
Aside from cash on hand and in-vault, the Company’s cash is maintained at 
various correspondent banks. The total amount of cash on deposit and 
federal funds sold exceeded federal insurance limits at four institutions by a 
total of approximately $14,383,000 and $12,378,000 as of December 31, 
2012 and 2011, respectively. In the opinion of management, no material 
risk of loss exists due to the financial condition of the institutions. 

Contingencies 
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal 
proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such 
proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on these consolidated 
financial statements. 

Benefits 

10. 
The Company has a 401(k) plan, which is a tax qualified savings plan, to 
encourage its employees to save for retirement purposes or other 
contingencies. All employees, working over 1,000 hours per year, of the 
Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan after 
completion of one year of service and attaining the age of 21. The employee 
may elect to contribute a percentage of their compensation before taxes in a 
traditional 401(k) and/or a percentage of their compensation after taxes 
using the subsidiary’s Roth 401(k) option. Based upon profits, as 
determined by the subsidiaries, a contribution may be made by the 
subsidiaries. Employees are 100% vested in the subsidiaries’ contribution to 
the plan after five years of service. Employee contributions and vested 
subsidiaries contributions may be withdrawn only on termination of 
employment, retirement, death or hardship withdrawal. 

Under their respective Employee Incentive Compensation Plans, the Bank 
and Trust Services are authorized at their discretion, pursuant to the 
provisions of their plans, to establish on an annual basis, a bonus fund, 
which will be distributed to certain employees, based on their performance. 
The Employee Incentive Compensation Plans do not become effective unless 
the Bank and Trust Services exceed established income levels. 

Contributions to the 401(k) plan for the years ended December 31, 2012 
and 2011 totaled $462,000 and $576,000, respectively. Contributions 
made to the incentive compensation plan for the years ended December 31, 
2012 and 2011 were $283,000 and $37,000, respectively. 

Dividends and Regulatory Capital 

11. 
The Company’s stockholders are entitled to receive such dividends as are 
declared by the Board of Directors. The ability of the Company to pay 
dividends in the future is dependent upon its receipt of dividends from its 
subsidiaries. The subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends is regulated by 
financial regulatory statues. The timing and amount of dividends will depend 
on earnings, capital requirements and financial condition of the Company 
and its subsidiaries as well as general economic conditions and other 
relevant factors affecting the Company and the subsidiary. 

Under the provisions of the National Bank Act, the Bank may not, without 
prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, declare dividends in 
excess of the total of the current and past two year’s earnings less any 
dividends already paid from those earnings. In addition, see Note 8, for other 
potential dividend restriction. 

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital 
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet 
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly 
additional discretionary action by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a 
direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital 
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective 
action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that 
involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-
balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. 
The Company and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject 
to qualitative judgments by the regulators and components, risk weightings 
and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to 
bank holding companies.  

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy 
require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios 
(set forth in the following table) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the 
regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as 
defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of 
December 31, 2012, that the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy 
requirements to which they are subject. 

The most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the 
Currency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory 
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as adequately or 
well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I 
risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no 
conditions or events since that notification that management believes have 
changed the Bank’s category. 

Trust Services maintains its capital level in excess of the required minimum 
as established by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional 
Regulation.

Fair Value Measurements 

13. 
The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring 
fair value using a hierarchy system, and requires disclosure of fair value measurements. The hierarchy is intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and 
minimize the use of unobservable inputs and includes three levels based upon the valuation techniques used. The three levels are as follows: 

Level 1:  Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. 

Level 2:  Significant other observable inputs other than level prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not 

active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. 

Level 3:  Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing 

an asset or liability. 

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments 
pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. 

Investment securities available for sale:  Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. 
Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are 
estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency 
securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset based and other securities. In certain 
cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. 

Impaired loans:  The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an 
allowance for loan losses is established. Loan impairment may be measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the 
loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including 
equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable. Fair value is determined based upon appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company, and 
are, generally, considered level 2 measurements. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values due to various factors including age of the 
appraisal, age of comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. When significant adjustments are based on 
unobservable inputs, the resulting fair value measurement has been categorized as a level 3 measurement. 

Other real estate owned:  Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of the principal amount of the loan outstanding at the time of acquisition, plus any 
acquisition costs, or the estimated fair value of the property, less disposal costs. The fair value of the property is determined based upon appraisals. As with 
impaired loans, if significant adjustments are made to the appraised value, based upon unobservable inputs, the resulting fair value measurement is 
categorized as level 3 measurement. 

Interest rate swap:  The fair value is estimated by a third party using inputs that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data, and 
therefore, are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. 

There have been no changes in valuation techniques used for any assets or liabilities measured at fair value during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 
2011.

ASSETS AND LIABILITES RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE ON A RECURRING BASIS 
The following table summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, segregated by the level of 
the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value: 

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. 

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE ON A NONRECURRING BASIS 
The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis such as when there is evidence

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

The Financial Instruments Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, 
whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments 
are excluded from these disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the 
Company. 

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: 

Cash and due from banks and federal funds sold:  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and due from banks and federal funds sold 
equal their fair values. 

Securities:  Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on 
quoted market prices of comparable instruments. 

Loans and loans held for sale:  For variable loans fair values are equal to carrying values. The fair values for all other types of loans are estimated using 
discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality. The fair value of 
loans held for sale is based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in the secondary market. 

Accrued interest receivable and payable:  The fair value of accrued interest receivable and payable is equal to its carrying value. 

Deposits:  The fair values for demand and savings deposits equal their carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand. Fair values for time 
deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on time deposits to a schedule of aggregated 
expected monthly maturities on time deposits. 

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase:   The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is considered to equal carrying value due to 
the borrowings short-term nature. 

Junior subordinated debentures:  It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of junior subordinated debentures as instruments with similar terms are not 
available in the market place. 

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

The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows. (Amounts in 
Thousands of Dollars):
