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 has been initiated when appropriate. 

First Bankers  Trustshares,  Inc. engaged  the accounting  firm of RSM US 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 Discussion and Analysis  
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  and  focuses  upon  those 
factors  which  had  a  significant  influence  on  the  overall  2016 
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, 2016, the company had assets of $930,935,000 
compared  to  $906,672,000  at  December  31,  2015.  The  increase 
in assets is primarily made up of a $28,001,000 (9.28%) increase 
in securities.  The growth was funded by a $21,129,000 increase in 
other borrowings and $9,981,000 growth in deposits.  

Approximately  $41,248,000  of  fixed  rate  long-term  residential  real 
estate loans were sold in the secondary market during 2016 while 
$29,032,000  were  sold  in  2015.  Agricultural  real  estate  loans 
totaling  $1,818,000  were  sold  in  the  secondary  market  during 
2016,  while  $1,764,000  were  sold 
in  2015.  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 
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,  2016,  the  Company  reported 
consolidated  net  income  of  $9,145,000,  a  $162,000  (1.80%) 
increase  from  2015.  Net  interest  income  after  provision  for  loan 
losses  for  the  periods  being  compared  increased  $1,255,000  or 
5.37%.    Other  operating  income  increased  $752,000  (4.42%)  and 
other operating expenses increased $885,000 (3.21%) from 2015. 

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 
securities.  Average  earning  assets  equaled 
banks  and 
$853,908,000  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016.  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  yield  on  average  earning  assets  for  the  year  ended  2016  was 
3.43%  while  the  average  cost  of  funds  for  the  same  period  was 
0.57% on average interest bearing liabilities of $706,833,000. The 
yield  on  average  earning  assets  for  the  year  ended  2015  was 
3.42%,  while  the  average  cost  of  funds  for  the  same  period  was 
0.60% on average interest bearing liabilities of $671,501,000. The 
increase in the net interest income of $1,180,000 can be attributed 
to  the  4.06%  increase  in  average  earning  assets  and  the  0.03% 
decrease in average cost of funds. 

Provision for Loan Losses 
The  allowance  for  loan  losses  as  a  percentage  of  gross  loans 
outstanding  is  1.63%  as  of  December  31,  2016,  compared  to 
1.69%  as  of  December  31,  2015.  Net  loan  charge-offs  totaled 
$911,000  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016  compared  to 
$187,000 in 2015.

in  the  provision  for 

losses  are 
The  amounts  recorded 
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, 2016. 

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 
the  period  ended  December  31,  2016  was 
income 
$17,747,000, an increase of $752,000 (4.42%) from 2015. This is 
attributed to an increase in trust services income of $929,000 and 
an increase in service charges on deposits of $132,000 which was 
partially offset by a decline in security gains of $347,000.

Income Taxes 
The  Company  files  its  federal  income  tax  return  on  a  consolidated 
basis with the Bank. See Note 13 for detail of income taxes. 

Management  believes  that  it  has  structured  its  pricing  mechanisms 
such that the net interest margin should maintain acceptable levels in 
2017, regardless of the changes in interest rates that may occur.  

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,  2016,  these  categories 
totaled $54,454,000 or 5.85% of assets, compared to $58,581,000 
or 6.46% the previous year. 

As  of  December  31,  2016  and  2015,  securities  held  to  maturity 
included  $43,000  and  $214,000  of  gross  unrealized  gains  and 
$1,000  and  no  gross  unrealized  losses,  respectively,  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.

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 
well  a  bank  is  positioned  to  cope  with  changing  interest  rates.

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%. 

The Company’s capital, as defined by the regulations, was 15.24% of 
risk-weighted  assets  as  of  December  31,  2016.  In  addition,  a 
leverage ratio of at least 4.00% is to be maintained. As of December 
31, 2016, the Company’s leverage ratio was 9.34%.

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

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  II  and  III,  which  do  not  meet  the  criteria  for  consolidation.  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.

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, 
in  accumulated  other 
are  presented  as 
comprehensive income, as a separate component of equity. 

increases  or  decreases 

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, 2016 and 2015. 

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 
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. 

in  the  secondary  market 

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

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:

Agricultural operating

Construction and land development 
Real estate secured by 1-4 and multi-family  
Consumer 

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. 

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. 

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

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: 

(cid:120) 

It  becomes  evident  that  the  borrower  will  not  make  payments,  or 
will not or cannot meet the terms for renewal of a matured loan, 

(cid:120)  When full repayment of principal and interest is not expected, 
(cid:120)  When  the  loan  is  graded  “substandard”  and  the  future  accrual  of 

interest is not protected by sound collateral values, 

(cid:120)  When the loan is graded “doubtful”, 
(cid:120)  When  the  borrower  files  bankruptcy  and  an  approved  plan  of 
reorganization or liquidation is not anticipated in the near future, or 

(cid:120)  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: 

(cid:120) 

(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 

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. 

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: 

(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 

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  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  following 
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. 

the 

terms  of 

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 
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 

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.  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. 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.

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: 

(cid:120) 

(cid:120) 

(cid:120) 

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. 
(cid:120) 

Bank  has  a  high  regard  for  the  character,  competence  and 
diligence of management.

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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

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

Loans have paid as agreed. 
Collateral is considered sufficient to repay the loan in full within a

average. 
No material deficiencies in loan structure or documentation.

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: 

(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 

(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 

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.

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:  
in  obtaining 
third  party  claims 
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:

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.

(cid:120) 

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: 
(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 

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.

present. 

(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 

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: 

(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 

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  12  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 Mortgage Partnership Finance 
(MPF), Fannie Mae or other secondary market aggregators to allow the bank 
to resell loans in the secondary market. 

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

effective  December  2010.    Mortgage  servicing  rights  are  not  considered 
significant as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. 

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

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,  2016  and  2015,  the  Bank  had  loan  concentrations  in 
agribusiness of 16.47 % and 17.26%, respectively, of outstanding loans. The 
Bank  had  no  additional

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, 
in-substance 
represents  properties  acquired 
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,  2016  and 
2015. 

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, 2016 and 2015.  

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. 

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. 

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 
2013.

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. 

Subsequent Events 
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through March 8, 2017, 
the date that the financial statements were available to be issued. 

Current Accounting Developments 
In  May  2014,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued 
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers  (Topic  606),  requiring  an  entity  to  recognize  the  amount  of 
revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods 
or services to customers.  ASU 2014-09 was extended by one year by ASU  
2015-14,  which  was  issued  by  the  FASB  in  August  2015.    The  updated 
standard  will  replace  most  existing  revenue  recognition  guidance  in  U.S. 
GAAP  when  it  becomes  effective  and  permits  the  use  of  either  a  full 
retrospective or retrospective with cumulative effect transition method.  The 
updated  standard  will  be  effective  for  annual  reporting  periods  beginning 
after  December  15,  2018.    The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  effect 
that the standard will have on the consolidated financial statements. 

In  January  2016  FASB  issued  ASU  2016-01,  Financial  Instruments  - 
Recognition  and  Measurement  of  Financial  Assets  and  Liabilities.  The  new 
guidance  is  intended  to  improve  the  recognition  and  measurement  of 

2.  Securities 

financial  instruments  by  requiring:  equity  investments  (other  than  equity 
method  or  consolidation)  to  be  measured  at  fair  value  with  changes  in  fair 
value recognized in net income; public business entities to use the exit price 
notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure 
purposes;  separate  presentation  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities 
by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet 
or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and eliminating the 
requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at 
amortized  cost  for  organizations  that  are  not  public  business  entities.  The 
new  guidance  is  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15, 
2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new 
guidance on the consolidated financial statements. 

(Topic  326): 

In  June  2016,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2016-13  Financial  Instruments-Credit 
Losses 
  Measurement  of  Credit  Losses  on  Financial 
Instruments.    The  underlying  premise  of  the  ASU  is  that  financial  assets 
measured  at  amortized  cost  should  be  presented  at  the  net  amount 
expected  to  be  collected,  through  an  allowance  for  credit  losses  that  is 
deducted  from  the  amortized  cost  basis.    The  allowance  for  credit  losses 
should  reflect  management’s  current  estimate  of  credit  losses  that  are 
expected  to  occur  over  the  remaining  life  of  a  financial  asset.    This  is  in 
contrast  to  existing  guidance  whereby  credit  losses  generally  are  not 
recognized  until  they  are  incurred.    Under  the  standard  impairment  of  the 
Company’s  loans  will  be  measured  using  the  current  expected  credit  loss 
model, which will entail day-one recognition of life-of-asset expected losses.  
The standard will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning 
after  December,  2021.    The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of 
adopting  the  new  guidance  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements.    

The  amortized  cost  and  fair  values  of  securities  as  of  December  31,  2016  and  2015  are  as  follows.  Included  in  gross  unrealized  losses  is  an  OTTI  loss  of 
$377,000 and $399,000 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, relating to two corporate securities, which represent the non-credit related portion 
of the overall impairment. (Amounts in Thousands of Dollars):

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  corporate  securities  discussed 
previously. 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 regards to the two corporate securities that are considered to be other than temporarily impaired, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, none  
of credit related loss were 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, consumer loans and a portion of the construction and land development 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, 2016 and 2015, troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) total $8,230,000 and $3,886,000, 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,

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, 2016 and 2015, none of the Company’s TDRs have re-defaulted 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 
$191,801,000 and $183,353,000  as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has granted loans to directors, principal officers, and affiliated companies in which they are principal stockholders 
amounting to $7,037,000 and $8,161,000 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

8.  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    II  and  III, 
which are both 100% owned non-consolidated subsidiaries of the Company. 
The debentures were issued in 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,  2016  and  2015,  the  Company  is  allowed,  for 
regulatory  purposes,  to  include  the  entire  $10,000,000  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 (3.61% and 3.16% as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 at par. The redemption may be in whole or in part, but in all cases in a 
principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000. 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

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  (3.94%  and  3.48%  as  of 
December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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  at  par.    The 
redemption may be in whole or in part, but in all cases in a principal amount 
with integral multiples of $1,000. 

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. 

9.  Preferred Stock, Series C 

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.  

On March 7, 2016, the Company redeemed 100% of the outstanding Series 
C Preferred Stock.

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,  2016 
and 2015. 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 five institutions by a 
total of approximately $20,535,000 and $19,144,000 as of December 31, 
2016  and  2015,  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. 

11. Benefits 

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,  2016 
and  2015  totaled  $691,000  and  $659,000  respectively.    Contributions 
made to the incentive compensation plan for the years ended December 31, 
2016 and 2015 were $861,000 and $612,000, respectively. 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

10. 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 
in  making 
commitments  and  conditional  obligations  as  it  does  for  on-balance  sheet 
instruments.

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, 2016 and 2015, 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  $3,043,000  and  $3,443,000  as  of 
December  31,  2016  and  2015,  respectively.  These  amounts  include  loans 
held  for  sale  of  $107,000  and  $118,000  as  of  December  31,  2016  and 
2015, respectively, and loan commitments, included in the summary in this 
Note, of $2,936,000 and $3,325,000 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 
respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

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,  Tier  I,  and  common  equity  Tier  1  
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,  2016,  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, common equity Tier I, 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 categories. 

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

12. Dividends and Regulatory Capital 

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.

* The Basel III Rules, effective January 1, 2015 for the Company and Bank, included new risk-based and leverage capital ratio requirements and refined the 
definition of what constitutes “capital” for purposes of calculating those ratios.  The minimum capital level requirements applicable to the Company and the 
Bank under the Basel III Rules include: (i) a new common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6%; (iii) a total risk-
based capital ratio of 8%; and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% for all institutions.  Common equity Tier I capital will consist of retained earnings and common 
stock  instruments,  subject  to  certain  adjustments.    The  Basel  III  Rules  also  established  a  “capital  conservation  buffer”  of  2.5%  above  the  new  regulatory 
minimum risk-based capital requirements.  The conservation buffer, when added to the capital requirements, will result in the following minimum ratios: (i) a 
common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 7%, (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.5%, and (iii) a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.5%.  The new capital 
conservation  buffer  requirement  is  phased  in  beginning  January  2016  at  0.625%  of  risk-weighted  assets  and  will  increase  by  0.625%  each  year  until  fully 
implemented at 2.5% in January 2019.  The first phase of the new capital conservation buffer requirement is reflected in the table above as of December 31, 
2016.  An  institution  would  be  subject  to  limitations  on  certain  activities  including  payment  of  dividends,  share  repurchases,  and  discretionary  bonuses  to 
executive  officers  if  its  capital  level  is  below  the  buffered  ratio.  Although  these  new  capital  ratios  do  not  become  fully  phased  in  until  2019,  the  banking 
regulators will expect bank holding companies and banks to meet these requirements well ahead of that date.

14. Fair Value Measurements 

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.   

There have been no changes in valuation techniques used for any assets or liabilities measured at fair value during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 
2015.

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 rate 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 be equal to the carrying 
value due to the borrowings’ short-term nature. 

FHLB Advances:  The fair value of FHLB Advances is considered to be equal to the 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,  2016  and  2015  are  as  follows.  (Amounts  in 
Thousands of Dollars): 

Financial assets:

Cash and due from banks

Securities held to maturity

Securities available for sale

Federal funds sold

Loans, net

Impaired loans, net

Accrued interest receivable

Financial liabilities:

Non-interest bearing demand deposits
