In summary:

“Community Building through Community Banking” 

Dear Stockholders,

It would be accurate to say that 2012 was one of  the most challenging in your Company’s 26 year history. Upon reflection, 
I am proud of  the compassionate efforts put forth by our bank group, which worked closely for the past few years with 
many long term customers whose businesses were severely impacted by the Great Recession; unfortunately, several of  those 
customers ran out of  reserves and/or the will to keep operating in 2012. Circumstances varied, but all were operating in a 
local business climate that continued to fare poorly compared to the slowly improving national economy, against stubbornly 
high  (12%  average)  unemployment,  and  a  state  political  culture  and  tax  burden  that  have  combined  to  present  major 
obstacles to business recovery. When the banks’ loan customers who had struggled for years ceased making payments on 
previously performing loans, the banks were faced with liquidating various types of  real estate collateral at significant losses 
in an adverse market. Accounting for these circumstances forced recognition of  credit costs of  over $14 million in 2012, and 
a resultant 47.5% decline in net income for the year 2012 to $3,446,000 from the near record $6,568,000 recorded in 2011. 
For the first time since the start of  the Great Recession in 2008, Foresight’s profitability as measured by return on assets of  
.39% was less than peer average of  .73%. However, for the five year period since 2008 in working through adversity with 
customers, Foresight’s average return on assets of  .65% far exceeds the peer average of  .32%. 

Continued progress was made in 2012 in reducing the relative burden of  non-performing assets, which declined by 15% 
to a year- end total of  $17 million. Reserves for loan losses were increased to $14.9 million, or 2.4% of  total loans. Reserve 
coverage of  non-performing assets is well above peer average as a result of  these strategic decisions. Asset quality improvement 
remains the most important goal for future performance improvement in an economy that remains challenging.

For the year, net interest income declined by 1.3%, as loan volumes were lower due to increased competition and lack of  
credit worthy loan demand, along with the loss of  customers that went out of  business due to regulatory burdens and/or 
the recession. Non-interest operating expenses excluding the costs of  foreclosed real estate increased by 4.3%, reflective of  
increased personnel and infrastructure costs incurred to meet regulatory requirements in compliance with the barrage of  
new banking regulations, as well as new internet security directives. On a more positive note, non-interest income increased 
8.9% driven by mortgage banking revenues growth from the low interest rate environment and addition of  experienced and 
talented key personnel in the fourth quarter from a local mortgage banking company that found our company to be the best 
partner they could find to deploy their mortgage lending skills.

The most encouraging set of  events in 2012 was the sale of  $10 million in capital debentures in September which facilitated 
full redemption of  $15.75 million of  TARP preferred stock held by the U.S. Treasury in December. The support of  the 
84  local  customers  who  purchased  the  debenture  offering,  most  of   whom  are  existing  Foresight  shareholders,  was  very 
encouraging,  and  positions  the  company  to  improve  future  performance  from  a  position  of   strength,  as  evidenced  by  a 
maintaining regulatory capital at about 45% above regulatory requirements, continued payment of  common stock dividends, 
and a strong cash position providing the parent company with flexibility to support the bank group.

We have received numerous positive comments from stock analysts indicating their confidence in the company based on the 
elements described in this letter, and expect the common stock trading price to improve in 2013 as a result.

With  these  elements  of   strength  and  your  continued  support,  we  can  continue  to  pursue  in  confidence  our  mission  of  
Community Building through Community Banking.

Respectfully and Gratefully,

Stephen G. Gaddis, President and CEO

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

To the Board of Directors 
Foresight Financial Group, Inc. 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Foresight Financial Group, Inc. and 
Subsidiaries, which comprise the  consolidated balances sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the 
related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash 
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012, and the related notes to the 
financial statements.    

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements 

Management  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  these  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 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 
financial statements.  The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of 
the risks of material misstatement of the 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  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 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 Foresight Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, 
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended 
December  31,  2012,  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of 
America. 

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a 
whole.  The consolidating information included in Schedules 1 and 2 is presented for purposes of additional 
analyses  and  is  not  a  required  part  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements.    Such  information  is  the 
responsibility  of  management  and  was  derived  from  and  relates  directly  to  the  underlying  accounting  and 
other records used to prepare the financial statements.  The information has been subjected to the auditing 
procedures  applied  in  the  audit  of  the  financial  statements  and  certain  additional  procedures,  including 
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to 
prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in 
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  In our opinion, the 
information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

FORESIGHT NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(000s omitted except share data) 

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

The  accounting  and  reporting  policies  of  Foresight  Financial  Group,  Inc.  (Company)  and  its  wholly  owned 
subsidiaries (Banks) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and 
to  general  practices  within  the  banking  industry.    The  following  is  a  description  of  the  more  significant 
accounting policies: 

(a)  Nature of Operations 

The Company provides a variety of banking services to individuals and businesses through its facilities in 
the Rockford, Freeport, German Valley, Davis, Lena,  Winnebago, Pecatonica, and Seward, Illinois areas.  
Its  primary  deposit  products  are  demand  deposits  and  certificates  of  deposit  and  its  primary  lending 
products are agribusiness, commercial, real estate, and installment loans. 

(b)  Basis of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of the Company and 
its wholly owned subsidiaries, German-American State Bank (German), State Bank of Davis (Davis), State 
Bank (Freeport), Northwest Bank of Rockford (Northwest), and Lena State Bank (Lena) (collectively the 
“Banks”).  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

(c)  Subsequent Events 

The  Company  has  evaluated  subsequent  events  for  recognition  and  disclosure  through  March  7,  2013, 
which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.  

(d)  Use of Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United  States  of  America  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the 
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of 
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  
Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The allowance for loan losses, fair values of securities, 
fair values of foreclosed assets, deferred tax assets and liabilities and fair values of financial instruments are 
particularly subject to change in the near-term. 

(e)  Cash and Cash Equivalents 

For  purposes  of  the  consolidated  statements  of  cash  flows,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  cash  and 
balances due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks, and federal funds sold, all of which generally 
mature within ninety days. Cash flows from loans, deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under 
agreements to repurchase, and treasury stock are reported net. 

(f)  Interest-bearing Deposits in Banks 

Interest-bearing deposits in banks are largely comprised of liquid non-maturing deposits in banks but also 
include some small balances in time deposits in banks with varying maturities.  Interest-bearing deposits in 
banks are carried at cost.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(000s omitted except share data) 

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(k)  Loan Commitments 

The Banks enter into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit 
and letters of credit issued to meet customer-financing needs.  Loan commitments are recorded when they 
are  funded.    Standby  or  performance  letters  of  credit  are  considered  financial  guarantees  in  accordance 
with accounting standards and are recorded at fair value, if material. 

(l)  Loan Servicing 

Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through a sale of loans 
and are reported in other assets.  When the originating mortgage loans are sold into the secondary market, 
the  Company  allocates  the  total  cost  of  the  mortgage  loans  between  mortgage  servicing  rights  and  the 
loans, based on their relative fair values.  The cost of originated mortgage-servicing rights is amortized in 
proportion  to,  and  over  the  period  of,  estimated  net  servicing  revenues.    Impairment  of  mortgage-
servicing  rights  is  assessed  based  on  the  fair  value  of  those  rights.  The  amount  of  impairment  is  the 
amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights exceed their fair value.  Fair value is determined 
using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash 
flows using market-based assumptions. 

Residential mortgage loans are generally sold to the secondary market.  At the time the loans are sold, a 
gain or loss is calculated based on the cash received versus the carrying value of the assets transferred. 

Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans.  The fees are based on a contractual 
percentage  of  the  outstanding  principal  and  are  recorded  as  income  when  earned.    The  amortization  of 
mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income. 

(m) Mortgage-Banking Derivatives 

Commitments  to  fund  mortgage  loans  (interest-rate  locks)  to  be  sold  into  the  secondary  market  and 
mandatory  delivery  forward  commitments  for  the  future  delivery  of  these  mortgage  loans  are  to  be 
accounted  for  as  derivatives  not  qualifying  for  hedge  accounting.    The  fair  values  of  these  mortgage 
derivatives are to be estimated based on the net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the 
loans and on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date of the commitments.  Changes in fair values 
on these derivatives are to be included in net gains on sales of loans.  The Company has deemed the effect 
of these derivatives to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements and has elected not to record 
fair values associated with these derivatives. 

(n) Foreclosed Assets 

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less estimated cost 
of  disposal  when  acquired.    Subsequent  to  foreclosure,  valuations  are  periodically  performed  by 
management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  Costs 
after  acquisition  are  generally  expensed.    Revenues  and  expenses  from  operations  and  changes  in  the 
valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)  

(o) Premises and Equipment 

Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, based on the estimated useful 
lives of the assets.  Depreciation is generally computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful 
lives ranging from 3 to 40 years. 

(p) Bank-Owned Life Insurance 

The  Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key employees.  Bank-owned life insurance is 
recorded at its cash surrender value, or the amount that can be realized. 

(q) Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk 

Most  of  the  Company’s  activities  are  with  customers  located  in  the  area and  communities noted above.  
Note 3 details the types of securities in which the Company invests.  Note 4 details the types of lending in 
which the Company engages.  The Company does not have any significant concentrations with any one 
industry or customer. 

(r)  Income Taxes 

Deferred  income  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  determined  using  the  liability  (or  balance  sheet)  method.  
Under  this  method,  the  net  deferred  tax  asset  or  liability  is  determined  based  on  the  tax  effects  of  the 
temporary  differences  between  the  book  and  tax  bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities 
and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.  The Company files consolidated Federal 
and State income tax returns. 

The  Company  may  also  recognize  a  liability  for  unrecognized  tax  benefits  from  uncertain  tax  positions.  
Unrecognized tax benefits represent the differences between a tax position taken or expected to be taken 
in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured in the financial statements.  Interest and penalties 
related  to  unrecognized  tax  benefits  are  classified  as  income  taxes,  if  applicable.    No  liabilities  for 
unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions have been recorded. 

(s)  Comprehensive Income 

Accounting  principles  generally  require  the  Company  to  include  in  net  income  recognized  revenue, 
expenses, gains and losses.  Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on 
available-for-sale  securities,  are  reported  as  a  separate  component  of  the  equity  section  of  the  balance 
sheet.   Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(000s omitted except share data) 

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)  

(t)  Earnings Per Share 

Basic  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  represent  income  available  to  common  stockholders  divided  by  the 
weighted-average  number  of  common  shares  outstanding  during  the  period.    Diluted  EPS  reflects 
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been 
issued,  as  well  as  any  adjustment  to  income  that  would  result  from  the  assumed  issuance.    Potential 
common  shares  that  may  be  issued  by  the  Company  relate  solely  to  outstanding  stock  options  and  are 
determined using the treasury stock method.  The dividends on preferred stock and the accretion of the 
preferred  warrants  are  subtracted  from  net  income  in  arriving  at  the  net  income  available  to  common 
stockholders. 

(u) Loss Contingencies 

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising from time to time in the ordinary course of 
business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss 
can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that could have a 
material effect on the consolidated financial statements.   

(v) Transfers of Financial Assets 

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales 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 transferred assets, and (3) the 
Company  does  not  maintain  effective  control  over  the  transferred  assets  through  an  agreement  to 
repurchase them before their maturity. 

(w) Trust Assets 

Assets  of  the  trust  department  of  State  Bank,  other  than  trust  cash  on  deposit  at  the  Bank,  are  not 
included in these financial statements because they are not assets of the Company.  

(x) Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase 

Securities  sold  under  agreements  to  repurchase  liabilities  represent  amounts  advanced  by  various 
customers.    Securities  are  pledged  to  cover  these  liabilities,  which  are  not  covered  by  federal  deposit 
insurance. 

(y) Stock Compensation Plans  

The  Company  records  the  cost  of  stock-based  employee  compensation  using  the  fair-value  method.  
Compensation expense for share-based awards is recorded over the vesting period at the fair value of the 
award at the time of grant.  The Company has historically assumed no projected forfeitures on its stock 
based compensation, since forfeitures have not been significant. 

(z) Reclassifications  

Certain  amounts  in  the  2011  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  reclassified  to  conform to the 
2012 presentation.

(000s omitted except share data) 

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)  

(aa)  Adoption of New Accounting Standards 

In  April  2011,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update 
(ASU)  No.  2011-02,  A  Creditor's  Determination  of  Whether  a  Restructuring  is  a  Troubled  Debt 
Restructuring.  The primary purpose of this new guidance is to provide additional clarity in determining 
whether  a  restructuring  constitutes  a  troubled  debt  restructuring.    This  update  is  effective  for  financial 
statements issued for annual periods ending after December 15, 2012.  The Company adopted this new 
accounting standard effective December 31, 2012.  The adoption of this accounting standard did not have 
a significant effect on the financial statements of the Company. 

In  May  2011,  the  FASB  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  (ASU)  No.  2011-04,  Amendments  to 
Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  This 
standard results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. and international 
accounting  standards  by  changing  certain  fair  value  concepts  and  requiring  additional  disclosures  about 
fair  value.    This  update  is  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  2011.    The  Company 
adopted  this  new  accounting  standard  effective  December  31,  2012.    The  adoption  of  this  accounting 
standard did not have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Company. 

In  June  2011,  the  FASB  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  (ASU)  No.  2011-05,  Presentation  of 
Comprehensive  Income.    This  standard  eliminates  the  option  to  present  components  of  other 
comprehensive  income  as  part  of  the  statement  of  changes  in  stockholders’  equity.    The  amendments 
require  that  all  components  of  net  income  and  other  comprehensive  income  be  presented  in  a  single 
continuous  statement  of  comprehensive  income  or  in  two  separate  but  consecutive  statements.    This 
update is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012.  The Company retroactively adopted 
this  new  accounting  standard  effective  December  31,  2012.    The  Company  has  chosen  to  present 
comprehensive income in a separate statement of comprehensive income. 

(2)  Cash and Due From Banks 

The  Banks  are  required  to  maintain  reserve  balances,  in  cash  or  on  deposit  with  the  Federal  Reserve 
Bank, based upon a percentage of deposits.  The total required reserve balances as of December 31, 2012 
and 2011 was approximately $2,251 and $2,900, respectively. 

In the normal course of business, the Company maintains cash and due from bank balances in accounts 
with  correspondent  banks.    Balances  in  these  accounts  may  exceed  the  Federal  Insurance  Deposit 
Corporation’s insured limit of $250,000.

from  contractual  maturities  on  mortgage-backed  securities  because  borrowers  may  have  the  right  to  call  or 
prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Unrealized  losses  on  securities  have  not  been  recognized  into  income  because  the  bonds  are  of  high  credit 
quality, management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future and the decline in fair value is 
largely due to market interest rate fluctuations and current bond markets.  The fair value is expected to recover 
as  the  bonds  approach  their  maturity  dates  and/or  market  rates.  The  unrealized  losses  on  the  remaining 
securities have not been recognized into income because the bonds are of high credit quality and management 
has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future.

The  average  balance  of  impaired  loans  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2010  approximated  $26,920. 
Interest income and other loan income recognized on impaired loans during 2010 approximated $347.  The 
Banks have no commitments to loan additional funds to the borrowers of impaired or non-accrual loans. 

The Company regularly evaluates various attributes of loans to determine the appropriateness of the allowance 
for  loan  losses.    The  Company  generally  monitors  credit  quality  indicators  for  all  loans  using  the  following 
internally prepared ratings: 

'Pass' ratings are assigned to loans with adequate collateral and debt service ability such that collectibility of the 
contractual loan payments is highly probable. 

'Special Mention' ratings are assigned to loans where management has some concern that the collateral or debt 
service ability may not be adequate, though the collectibility of the contractual loan payments is still probable. 

'Substandard' ratings are assigned to loans that do not have adequate collateral and/or debt service ability such 
that collectibility of the contractual loan payments is no longer probable. 

'Doubtful'  ratings  are  assigned  to  loans  that  do  not have adequate collateral and/or debt service ability, and 
collectibility of the contractual loan payments is unlikely.

When,  for  economic  or  legal  reasons  related  the  borrower's  financial  difficulties,  the  Company  grants  a 
concession to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider, the modified loan is classified as 
a troubled debt restructuring.  Loan modifications may consist of forgiveness of interest and/or principal, a 
reduction  of  the  interest  rate,  interest  only  payments  for  a  period  of  time,  and/or  extending  amortization 
terms.  All troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired loans.   

The following table presents information regarding modifications of loans that are classified as troubled debt 
restructurings by class of loan that occurred during the years ended December 31:

(11)  Dividends 

State  banking  regulations  restrict  the  amount  of  dividends  that  a  bank  may  pay  to  its  stockholders.    The 
regulations provide that dividends are limited to the balance of undivided profits, subject to capital-adequacy 
requirements,  plus  an  additional  amount  equal  to  the  bank’s  current-year  earnings  through  the  date  of  any 
declaration  of  dividends.    Additionally,  dividends  were  limited  under  the  terms  of  the  TARP  agreement  as 
described in Note 23.  

(12) Employee Benefit Plans 

The  Company  and  the  Banks  maintain  a  401(k)  plan  with  profit  sharing  features  covering  substantially  all 
employees  under  which  they  match  50%  of  eligible  employee  contributions  to  a  maximum  employee 
contribution of 6% of annual salary.  Total 401(k) expense was approximately $215, $247, and $237, for 2012, 
2011,  and  2010,  respectively.    Each  plan  participant  elects  how  the  employer  contributions  are  invested.  
Participants choose between purchasing the Company’s common stock and investing in the plan’s investment 
funds. 

In  addition,  Northwest,  German-American,  and  Lena  maintain  salary-continuation  plans  whereby  certain 
officers  are  provided  with  guaranteed  annual  payments  for  periods  ranging  from  ten  to  thirteen  years  after 
reaching  a  retirement  age  of  65.    The  salary-continuation  plans  are  funded  by  whole  life  insurance  policies 
purchased  by  the  Banks  which  had  an  aggregate  death  benefit  of  approximately  $9,099  and  $8,961  as  of 
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively (see Note 9 for cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance).  
The  Banks  accrue  for  the  total  amounts  to  be  paid  over  the  employee’s  active  service  life.    The  accrued 
benefits were $875, $894, and $912 at December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.  Salary-continuation 
expenses were $41, $51, and $48 in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

(14)  Transactions with Related Parties 

The  Company  and  subsidiary  banks  have  had,  and  may  be  expected  to  have  in  the  future,  loans  or  other 
banking  transactions  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business  with  directors,  significant  stockholders,  principal 
officers, their immediate families, and affiliated companies in which they are principal stockholders (commonly 
referred to as related parties).  In management’s opinion, these loans and transactions were on the same terms 
as those for comparable loans and transactions with non-related parties.   

Loans  to  related  parties  amounted  to  approximately  $16,656  and  $14,209  at  December  31,  2012  and  2011, 
respectively. 

Deposit accounts from related parties totaled  approximately $10,233 and $10,612 at December 31, 2012 and 
2011, respectively. 

(15)  Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Concentrations 

Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk: 

The Banks are parties to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to 
meet  the  financing  needs  of  their  customers.    These  financial  instruments  include  commitments  to  extend 
credit,  credit  lines,  letters  of credit, and overdraft protection.  They involve, to varying degrees, elements of 
credit risk in excess of amounts recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. 

The  Banks’  exposures  to  credit  losses  in  the  event  of  nonperformance  by  the  other  parties  to  the  financial 
instruments,  for  commitments  to  extend  credit,  and  letters  of  credit  are  represented  by  the  contractual 
amounts of those instruments.  The Banks use the same credit policies in making commitments and issuing 
letters of credit as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments. 

A summary of the contractual amounts of the Banks’ exposure to off-balance-sheet risk as of December 31 is 
approximately as follows: 

  Unused lines of credit and other loan commitments 
  Commercial letters of credits 
  Performance and standby letters of credit 

2012 

$123,738 
395 
616 
$124,749 

2011 

$123,099 
1,352 
761 
$125,212 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as there are no violations of any 
conditions  established  in  the  contracts.    Commitments  generally  have  fixed  expiration  dates  or  other 
termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to 
expire  without  being  drawn  upon,  the  total  commitment  amounts  do  not  necessarily  represent  future  cash 
requirements.    The  credit  risk  involved  in  issuing  letters  of  credit  is  essentially  the  same  as  that  involved  in 
extending loan facilities to customers.  The Banks evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case 
basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Banks upon extension of credit, is based 
on  management’s  credit  evaluation  of  the  counterparty.  Collateral  held  varies  but  may  include  accounts 
receivable, inventory, crops, livestock, property and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing 
commercial properties.  

Standby,  performance  and commercial  letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Banks to 
guarantee  the  performance  of  a  customer  to  a  third  party.    They  are  considered  financial  guarantees  under 
FASB guidance.  The fair value of these financial guarantees is considered immaterial.

(15)  Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Concentrations (continued) 

Concentration of credit risk: 

The  Company  and  its  subsidiary  banks  provide  several  types  of  loans  to  customers  including  real  estate, 
agricultural, commercial, and installment loans.  The largest component of loans is secured by residential real 
estate,  commercial  real  estate,  or  other  interest  in  real  property.    Lending  activities  are  conducted  with 
customers in a wide variety of industries as well as with individuals with a wide variety of credit requirements.  
The Company does not have a concentration of loans in any specific industry.  Credit risk, as it relates to the 
Company’s  business  activities,  tends  to  be  geographically  concentrated  in  that  the  majority  of  the  customer 
base lies within the surrounding communities served by its subsidiary banks. 

(16) Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase 

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase amounted to $25,045 and $27,698 at December 31, 2012 and 
2011,  respectively,  and  are  secured  by  investment  securities  with  fair  values  of  approximately  $36,227  and 
$37,563.    The  weighted-average  interest  rates  on  these  agreements  were  0.18%  and  0.54%  at  December  31, 
2012 and 2011, respectively.  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase mature on a daily basis.

Advances  are  collateralized  by  1-4  family  mortgage  loans  and  other  qualifying  loans.    The  total  amounts  of 
collateral  securing  FHLB  advances  were  approximately  $82,708  and  $86,879  as  of  December  31,  2012  and 
2011, respectively. 

The Banks participate in the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s Discount Window Lending Program.  Primary 
advances generally mature daily and bear interest at a general approved rate in relation to the federal funds rate.  
The primary advance interest rate at December 31, 2012 was 75-basis points.  Outstanding advances were $0 at 
December 31, 2012 and 2011.  Advances are secured by investment securities pledged totaling approximately 
$11,663 and $8,950 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to the Federal Reserve Bank.

The Company issued $10,000,000 of Subordinated Debentures in the fiscal year ended 2012 that qualify as Tier 
2  regulatory  capital  (with  certain  limitations  applicable)  for  the  Company.  The  Company  issued  the 
Subordinated Debentures for capital raising purposes primarily for the redemption of preferred stock as part 
of the Troubled Asset Relief Program.  Note 22 details the Troubled Asset Relief Program. The Debentures 
mature on August 30, 2019 and the Company may redeem some or all of the Subordinated Debentures at any 
time  after  the  third  anniversary  of  their  issuance  in  accordance  with  the  contract  price  limitations.  The 
redemption may be subject to approval by the Federal  Reserve and must be on a pro rata basis amongst all 
holders.  The terms call for interest payments to be made quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, 
September and December.  The annual rate of interest on the Subordinated Debentures is 6.00%. The interest 
payments  can  be  deferred  for  so  long  as  the  Company  or  a  specific Bank remains subject to any regulatory 
order limiting or prohibiting the payment of dividends or interest on indebtedness of the Company, including 
the Debentures. If interest payments are deferred the interest will  accrue until paid. The agreement contains 
certain restrictive covenants.  

(18)  Fair Value Measurements 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) 
in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market 
participants  on  the  measurement  date.  The  standard  describes  three  levels  of  inputs  that  may  be  used  to 
measure fair value: 

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

Level  2:  Significant  other  observable  inputs  other  than  Level  1  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  the  Company’s  own  assumptions  about  the 
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

(18)  Fair Value Measurements (continued) 

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value: 

Securities  available-for-sale:    The  fair  values  of  the  Company’s  securities  available-for-sale  are  primarily 
determined  by  matrix  pricing,  which  is  a  mathematical  technique  used  widely  in  the  industry  to  value  debt 
securities  without  relying  exclusively  on  quoted  prices  for  specific  securities,  but  rather  by  relying  on  the 
securities’  relationship  to  other  benchmark  quoted  securities.    The  values  determined  by  matrix  pricing  are 
considered Level 2 fair value measurements. 

Collateral-dependent impaired loans:  The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. 
However,  from  time  to  time,  fair  value  adjustments  are  recorded  on  these  loans  to  reflect  (1)  partial  write-
downs, through charge-offs or specific reserve allowances, that are based on the current appraised or market-
quoted value of the underlying collateral or (2) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value.  The fair value of 
collateral  dependent  impaired  loans  is  generally  based  on  recent  real  estate  appraisals.    Adjustments  are 
routinely  made  in  the  appraisal  process  by  independent  appraisers  to  adjust  for  differences  between  the 
comparable sales and income data available.  Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a 
Level  3  classification.    Non-real  estate  collateral  may  be  valued  using  an  appraisal,  net  book  value  of  the 
borrower’s financial statements or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s expertise and 
knowledge of the borrower and borrower’s business.  Fair value measurements prepared internally are based 
on management's comparisons to sales of comparable assets, but include significant unobservable data and are 
therefore considered Level 3 measurements. 

Foreclosed assets:  Real estate acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are not measured at fair value on 
a recurring basis.  However, other real estate is initially measured at fair value (less estimated costs to sell) when 
it is acquired and may also be measured at fair value (less estimated costs to sell) if it becomes subsequently 
impaired.  The fair value measurement for each property may be obtained from an independent appraiser or 
prepared internally.  Fair value measurements obtained from independent appraisers generally utilize a market 
approach  based  on  sales  of  comparable  assets  and/or  an  income  approach.   Such measurements are usually 
considered  Level  2  measurements.    However,  management  routinely  evaluates  fair  value  measurements  of 
independent  appraisers  by  comparing  actual  selling  prices  to  the  most  recent  appraisals.    If  management 
determines significant adjustments should be made to the independent appraisals based on these evaluations, 
these  measurements  are  considered  Level  3 measurements.  Fair value measurements prepared internally are 
based management's comparisons to sales of comparable assets, but include significant unobservable data and 
are therefore considered Level 3 measurements. 

Mortgage  servicing  rights:    Loan  servicing  rights  are  initially  recorded  at  approximate  fair  value  and  are 
subsequently  measured  using  the  amortization  method  which  requires  servicing  rights  to  be  amortized  into 
non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the 
underlying loans.  Loan servicing rights are valued for impairment subsequent to initial recording.  Impairment 
is  determined  by  stratifying  rights  into  groupings  based  on  predominant  risk  characteristics,  such  as  interest 
rate, loan type and investor type.  Loan servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable 
prices.  Accordingly, the Company determines the fair value of loan servicing rights by estimating the present 
value of the future cash flows associated with the loans being serviced.  Key economic assumptions used in 
measuring the fair value of loan servicing rights include prepayment speeds and discount rates.  While market-
based  data  is  used  to  determine  the  input  assumptions,  the  Company  incorporates  its  own  estimates  of 
assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value of loan servicing rights (Level 3).

(19)  Stock-Compensation Plans 

The  Company  has  entered  into  non-qualified  and  incentive  stock  option  agreements  whereby  shares  of 
common stock were made available for purchase by certain executive officers.  All incentive and non-qualified 
options have been issued pursuant to various shareholder approved stock option plans. In May of 2008, the 
stockholders’ approved an additional 100,000 shares of common stock be made available for future purchase 
by certain officers.  Under these agreements, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of the 
Company’s stock on the grant date.  The options’ maximum terms are ten years.  The options vest under a 
three, five or seven year period after the date of grant.  The Company’s general practice is to use previously 
authorized but unissued shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises.  Currently, the Company 
has a sufficient number of authorized common shares to satisfy expected stock option exercises, but treasury 
stock may also be used. 

The  fair  value  of  each  option  award  is  estimated  on  the  date  of  grant  using  a  closed  form option valuation 
model (Black-Scholes) based on the assumptions noted in the table below.  Expected volatilities are based on 
historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock.  The Company uses historical data to estimate option 
exercise and post-vesting termination behavior.  The expected term of options granted is based on historical 
data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into 
account that the options are not transferable.  The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is 
based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. 

No options were granted for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  The weighted average fair value of 
options granted during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $2.90. 

The  fair  value  of  options  granted  is  estimated  on  the  date  of  grant  using  the  following  weighted-average 
assumptions: 

Risk-free interest rate 
Expected option life 
Expected stock-price volatility

For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2012,  2011  and  2010,  the  Company  recognized  $97,  $98  and  $81  in 
compensation  expense  for  stock  options,  respectively.    No  tax  benefits  were  recognized  for  the  three  year 
period  ended  December  31,  2012.    As  of  December  31,  2012,  stock-based  compensation  expense  not  yet 
recognized  totaled  $245,  and  is  expected  to  be  recognized  over  a  weighted-average  remaining  period  of  1.8 
years.  The intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was 
$0, $4 and $3, respectively.  The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, 
2011 and 2010 was $341, $338 and $90, respectively. 

During  2010,  the  Company  modified  the  exercise  price  on  49,760  fully  and  partially  vested  incentive  stock 
options outstanding affecting thirteen employees.  The options were originally granted in 2004, 2005 and 2008 
and  represented  a  weighted  average  exercise  price  of  $19.57  per  share.    As  a  result  of  the  modification,  the 
weighted  average  exercise  price  on  the  modified  options  was  reduced  to  $10.43  per  share.  Consistent  with 
generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  the  Company  revaluated  the  fair  value  of  the  modified  options 
resulting in additional compensation expense of $75 to be recognized over the remaining vesting period.  For 
the  modified  options  already  fully  vested,  the  Company  recognized  the  additional  compensation  expense  in 
2010.  The fair value of the stock options granted in 2008, 2005 and 2004 were revised from $5.08, $12.55 and 
$9.37  per  share,  respectively  as  originally  reported  to  modified  fair  values  of  $7.21,  $14.08,  and  $10.74  per 
share, respectively.

During 2012, the Company approved a new equity incentive plan to promote the long-term financial success 
of the Company through stock based awards to employees, directors or service providers who contribute to 
that success.  This equity incentive plan permits Company management to approve and grant a maximum of 
150,000  shares  of  common  stock  based  awards  in  the  form  of  any  combination  of  stock  options,  stock 
appreciation rights, stock awards or cash incentive awards.  As of December 31, 2012, no awards under this 
plan have been granted.

The total outstanding options of common stock which were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings 
per common share for the years ended 2012, 2011 and 2010 were 0, 0 and 71,170, respectively because they 
were considered anti-dilutive. 

(21)  Regulatory Matters 

The  Company  and  Banks  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  actions  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  Banks  must  meet  specific  capital  guidelines  that  involve  quantitative 
measures of the assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting 
practices.    The  capital  amounts  and  classification  are  also  subject  to  qualitative  judgments  by  the  regulators 
about components, risk weightings, and other factors. 

Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation  to  ensure  capital  adequacy  require  the  Company  and  its 
subsidiaries  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 that as of December 31, 2012, that the Company and the 
Banks meet all capital-adequacy requirements to which they are subject. 

As  of  December  31,  2012,  the  most  recent  notifications  from  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation 
(FDIC)  categorized  all  five  Banks  as  well  capitalized  under  the  regulatory  framework  for  prompt  corrective 
action.  To be categorized as well capitalized, minimum total risk-based, Tier-I risk-based, and Tier-I leverage 
ratios  as  set  forth  in  the  table  must  be  maintained.    There  are  no  conditions  or  events  occurring  since  the 
FDIC notified each Bank which management believes have changed the categories of the Banks.

(22)  TARP Capital Purchase Plan (in actual dollars) 

On May 15, 2009, as part of the United States Treasury Department’s (UST) Troubled Asset Relief Program 
(TARP)  Capital  Purchase  Program,  the  Company  issued  15,000  shares  of  fixed  rate  cumulative  perpetual 
preferred stock (Series A preferred stock) to the UST for total proceeds of $15,000.  The Series A preferred 
stock  had  no  par  value  and  a  redemption  value  of  $1,000  per  share.    The  UST  also  received  warrants  to 
purchase 750 shares of fixed rate cumulative preferred stock (Series B preferred stock) for an exercise price of 
$.01 per share.  The UST immediately exercised the warrants.  The Series B preferred stock had no par value 
and a redemption value of $1,000 per share.  The Series A and Series B preferred stock were redeemable by 
the Company at any time.  The dividend rate on the Series A preferred stock was 5% for the first five years 
and 9% thereafter.  The dividend rate on the Series B preferred stock was 9%.  Dividends on the preferred 
stock  were  cumulative  and  were  payable  quarterly  in  arrears  on  the  15th  of  February,  May,  August  and 
November.    The  redemption  value  of  the  750  shares  of  Series  B  preferred  stock  was  being  accreted  as  an 
increase to preferred stock over five years which was the Company’s expected redemption period.  The Series 
A and Series B preferred stock were included as Tier-1 capital for regulatory purposes. 

Under  the  terms  of  the  TARP  agreement,  the  Company  was  subject  to  certain  dividend  limitations.  
Generally, without the UST’s consent, the Company was limited to a maximum quarterly dividend of $.08 per 
common share until May 14, 2012.  Additionally, without the UST’s consent, the Company was limited to a 
maximum dividend of 103% of the aggregate per share dividends of the prior fiscal year for the period from 
May 15, 2012 to May 14, 2019.   

Additionally  under  the  terms  of  the  TARP  agreement,  without  the  consent  of  the  UST,  the  Company 
generally could not acquire additional shares of treasury stock, except in connection with the administration 
of any employee benefit plan in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice.  The TARP 
agreement  also  placed  certain  restrictions  on  executive  compensation,  the  effect  of  which  did  not  have  a 
material effect on the consolidated financial statements.  

Effective December 11, 2012, the Company redeemed the Series A and B preferred stock for total proceeds 
of $15,750.  As a result, the Company is no longer under the terms of the TARP agreement as of December 
31, 2012.
