DELIVERING
ON OUR VISION

Virtually every bank claims to be a “Community Bank”, 

Further  supporting  our  local  Community  Banks  is  a 

and many create a definition to support their banking 

Board of Directors at each banking charter that consists 

model.  At  QCR  Holdings,  Inc.  we  believe  that  the 

of  community  leaders  who  share  this  drive  to  make  a 

definition  of  a  true  Community  Bank  is  quite  clear  – 

difference to our clients and the communities in which 

and that it is based on the needs of the Communities 

they live and work.

and Clients that we serve. Further, we have spent the 

entire  19  year  history  of  our  Company  focused  on 

being  the  “Relationship  Driven  Organization”  that 

is  the  heart  of  our  QCR  Holdings  business  model,  a 

business  model  that  provides  each  QCR  Holdings 

entity with the autonomy to tailor products, services 

and decisions unique to the clients and communities 

that it serves. 

By staying true to our business model of delivering local 

decisions  that  impact  clients  and  communities,  and 

delivering support services that do not directly impact 

clients  in  a  centralized  and  efficient  manner,  we  have 

allowed  Quad  City  Bank  &  Trust,  Cedar  Rapids  Bank 

&  Trust,  and  Rockford  Bank  &  Trust  to  create  a  strong 

“Community  Bank”  brand  in  their  respective  markets 

and to become the bank of choice for clients that value 

Each  of  our  clients  “need”  something  different  from 

a strong relationship with their bank.

Each member of our QCR Holdings team will continue to 

focus  on  creating  meaningful  and  lasting  relationships 

with  our  clients  as  we  work  hard  to  create  significant 

long-term value for our shareholders.

their  banking  relationship.  Our  people  have  the 

experience and talent to build strong relationships with 

our  clients,  to  understand  their  unique  hopes,  dreams, 

challenges  &  opportunities  as  well  as  they  do,  and  to 

bring  them  decisions  and  solutions  that  help  them 

succeed.  Our  local  bankers  in  the  Quad  Cities,  Cedar 

Rapids  and  Rockford  communities  are  empowered  to 

tailor products, services and decisions to the clients and 

communities  that  they  serve,  creating  the  customized 

“relationship based” service that drives our Company.

Our  local  bankers  are  supported  by  our  QCR  Holdings 

Group  Operations  team  that  delivers  operational 

services  in  a  centralized  and  efficient  manner.  The 

members of the Group Operations team share the same 

passion  for  building  relationships  with,  and  exceeding 

the  expectations  of,  their  internal  “clients”  at  each  of 

our  entities,  allowing  each  of  our  member  Community 

Banks to possess the resources of a much larger financial 

institution.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN

Community banking: successful in the past, successful today 

As  our  industry  has  consolidated  over  the  past  ten  years 

and will continue to be successful in the future. As is readily 

from  approximately  15,000  depository  institutions  to  the 

apparent  from  this  year’s  Annual  Report,  our  company 

7,500 today, those remaining successful and well managed 

message  continues  to  center  around  community  banking 

community  banks  have  continued  to  survive  and  prosper. 

and the manner in which the QCR Holdings companies bring 

Experts tell us that depository institutions will again reduce 

that community banking advantage to the marketplace.

in  half  over  the  next  ten  years  to  approximately  3,750 

I believe as you read our CEO messages and client testimonials 

consolidation  would  mean  the  elimination  of  community 

in this year’s Annual Report you will see how our people are 

banking as we know it today and the transfer of those assets 

institutions.  It  could  make  one  wonder  if  the  pending 

bringing the community bank definition to life.

Since  the  inception  of  the  banking  industry  in  America, 

well managed community banks have certainly been more 

successful than our brethren at the large multi-national and 

super  regional  banks.  In  many  instances,  I  believe  these 

larger  entities  have  taken  on  risk  that  negatively  affected 

the stakeholders in their companies and quite frankly, even 

our nation. One has only to look back to the financial crisis of 

2008 to bring that point home.

We define a community bank as:

“Serving the needs of our clients 
and the communities in which 
we live and work by developing 
strong relationships and using these 
relationships to help our clients 
succeed and our communities thrive.”

to  the  large  money  center  and  super  regional  banks.  Au 

Contraire. Not in QCR Holdings lifetime, as we plan to be a 

community  bank  player  for  many  years  to  come!  As  long 

as  we  at  QCR  Holdings  continue  to  deliver  to  our  markets 

the  community  banking  model  we  are  working  so  hard  to 

protect  -  using  the  very  best  people  and  making  financial 

decisions locally - we will continue to be very successful in 

the years ahead to the benefit of all of the employees and 

stakeholders of QCR Holdings. 

In my view, fiscal 2012 results reflect the positive position our 

Company holds and continues to build in the communities 

we  serve,  using  our  community  banking  model.  The 

exemplary work put forth by our outstanding management 

team  and  their  entire  staff  do  make  a  difference,  and  the 

Board of Directors again commends them for a job well done. 

As  we  at  QCR  Holdings  head  into  2013  and  beyond,  and 

we  look  at  the  continued  development  of  well-managed 

community  banking  opportunities,  as  I  have  said  in  past 

years and continue to say today, I believe more than ever that 

I really like the way we are positioned for the future growth of 

QCR Holdings. Stick around; it’s been an interesting journey 

our first twenty years. The best is yet to come.

QCR Holdings, Inc.   2012 Annual Report

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS,

QCR  Holdings  had  another  record  year  in  2012  and  we  continue  to  believe  our 
model  has  everything  to  do  with  these  sound  results. The  model  we  are  proud 
to  call “The  Local  Community  Bank  Advantage”  continued  to  differentiate  us  in 
our market places. Throughout the year, new clients came to our doors seeking 
exceptional, personalized service and advice – frustrated by regional call centers 
and 800 numbers provided by our competitors. Existing clients continued to value 
the opportunity to sit one-on-one with their local banker – working together to 
build a relationship that will endure throughout their lifetimes.

“The Local Community Bank Advantage” works because it is delivered locally by the 
best people - our 379 dedicated QCR Holdings employees. We could not be prouder 
of the financial results this year however those results simply provide a glimpse into 
the true advantage our people provide day in and day out. Our people are not only 
talented bankers, they are generous with their talents in our communities. At QCR 
Holdings, we strongly believe that the strength of our Company will depend on 
the strength of the communities that we serve, and to that end, our employees 
are volunteering on a daily basis to make their towns a better place in which to 
live and work.

QCR HOLDINGS, INC. ENTITY WIDE STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

Our  QCR  Holdings,  Inc.  seven  strategic  initiatives  continue  to  lead  our  decision 
making and our work. We are pleased to report that in 2012, our staff and Boards:

Nonperforming  assets  were  down  27%  or  $10.9  million  from  the  prior  year. The 
ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets declined to 1.41% at December 31, 
2012 – down from 2.06% of total assets at December 31, 2011.

Net interest income grew 6% in 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2012, net 
interest income was $57.6 million, an increase of $3.5 million or 6%, over the year 
ended December 31, 2011.

We remain committed to a strong capital position – not only with regard to total 
capital, but with regard to mix and cost as well. We remain strongly committed to 
our long-term capital plan of self-generating the capital necessary to grow tangible 
common  equity  and  to  redeem  the  remaining  Small  Business  Lending  Fund 
(“SBLF”) preferred stock without a dilutive common equity raise. We successfully 
executed  on  this  plan  in  the  second  quarter  of  2012  when  we  redeemed  $10.2 
million of the $40.1 million in SBLF preferred stock.

Tangible  common  equity  has  grown  from  3.56%  of  total  tangible  assets  at 
December 31, 2010 to 3.85% at December 31, 2011 and to 4.02% at December 31, 
2012. With the future conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock to common stock 
(which is possible after June 30, 2013), and assuming we achieve the requirements 
to force conversion, our tangible common equity would increase to 5.25% of total 
tangible assets on a proforma basis.

QCR HOLDINGS, INC. STRATEGIC ADVANTAGES

Prioritized growth in earnings and earnings per share, 
over growth in assets

Worked to preserve capital and increase tangible common equity, to allow 
for further redemption of SBLF Capital without the need for a dilutive 
common equity raise

Continued to maintain adequate liquidity and leverage any excess 
to its best use

During  2012,  we  continued  to  execute  on  our  strategy  of  being  a  relationship 
driven  organization.  With  demand  for  loans  and  leases  curtailed  due  to  the 
economic  climate,  we  remained  focused  on  developing  relationships  with 
new  clients  and  expanding  relationships  with  existing  clients.  In  addition,  we 
strategically expanded resources where we identified some very profitable niches 
that will enhance our earnings in years to come, thereby allowing us to counter 
margin compression and weak loan demand.

Continued to improve asset quality

CORRESPONDENT BANKING DIVISION

2012 RESULTS AND HIGHLIGHTS 

ANNUAL EARNINGS UP 30% FROM PRIOR YEAR

Despite the continued uncertain economic climate and challenging regulatory 
environment, our teams executed on our strategic initiatives for another record 
year.

For 2012, our annual earnings were up 30% from the prior year. For the year ended 
December 31, 2012, net income attributable to QCR Holdings was $12.6 million, 
resulting in diluted earnings per share of $1.85 after preferred stock dividends of 
$3.5 million. For the same period in 2011, we reported net income of $9.7 million, or 
diluted earnings per share of $0.92 after preferred stock dividends of $5.3 million. 
The  2011  dividends  included  a  one-time  deemed  dividend  of  $1.2  million  as  a 
result of our repurchase of all of the preferred shares issued to the U.S. Treasury 
under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”).

For 2012, we grew non-interest bearing core deposits 26%, successfully shifting the 
deposit mix from brokered and other time deposits, along with wholesale funding, 
which in turn helped to drive down our cost of funds. Non-interest bearing deposits 
were successfully grown $93.5 million this year, this on top of 29% growth in 2011.

Utilizing our expert and geographically dispersed team of correspondent bankers 
to  seize  opportunities,  we  were  able  to  increase  non-interest  bearing  deposits 
significantly again this year, and grow non-interest income as well. We added 24 
new correspondent banking relationships in 2012. When including such services as 
credit cards and loans, we now service 206 Correspondent Banks. 

WEALTH BUILDERS DIVISION

Many  successful  banks  have  a  strong  “Wealth  Management  Division”.  Utilizing 
our strengths in this area led to the creation of the “Wealth Builders Division” that 
focuses on the continuum of services that can be provided to clients within our 
Company – Trust, Investments, Financial Planning, and Family Office. We continue 
to  successfully  grow  this  division  as  it  further  bolsters  our  relationship  style  of 
banking. This strategy adds non-interest income to our banks and provides great 
opportunities for cross selling as well. The division at Quad City Bank & Trust has 
been a stronghold in the Quad Cites market since the bank opened its doors. We 
are  successfully  leveraging  knowledge  and  resources  of  the  Quad  Cities  staff  to 
help grow the Cedar Rapids and Rockford market presence.

m2 LEASE FUNDS

m2  Lease  Funds  is  now  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Quad  City  Bank  &  Trust, 
offering leased equipment options not only locally to the clients of all three banks, 
but nationwide as well. Leasing can be a favorable option to ownership and has 
gained good traction in this economy. m2 reported record earnings in 2012 of $3.4 
million, an increase of 63% over the prior year. Total leased assets finished 2012 at a 
record $104 million, an 11% increase over 2011.

CREDIT QUALITY EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE

Our  results  in  terms  of  credit  quality  have  been  better  than  most  of  our  peers 
during  this  challenging  economic  time. We  are  very  pleased  with  the  declining 
trend in nonperforming assets over the past several years. A top priority is weekly 
loan committee meetings at every charter, partnered with careful review by our 
Boards of Directors.

RESULTS BY ENTITY

Quad City Bank & Trust – Under the leadership of President and CEO, John Anderson, 
the Company’s first subsidiary bank (1994), grew total consolidated assets to $1.18 
billion at December 31, 2012. The bank continues to have success in growing its 
Correspondent Banking business as non-interest bearing Correspondent deposits 
grew $55 million, or 37%, to $204 million year over year. Quad City Bank & Trust 
realized record net income of $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, 
which is an increase of $1.9 million, or 21% over 2011. 

Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust – President and CEO Larry Helling, one of the founders 
of  Cedar  Rapids  Bank  & Trust  (2001),  led  his  team  to  record  net  income  of  $5.9 
million for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is a 13% increase over the 
$5.2  million  net  income  for  2011. Total  assets  at  December  31,  2012  finished  at 
$625.7 million, up 12% or $65.6 million from the end of 2011. The bank grew and 
diversified  its  securities  portfolio  through  increased  investments  in  tax-exempt 
municipal  securities.  The  majority  of  these  securities  are  located  in  or  near  our 
existing markets with strong underwriting conducted before investment.

Rockford Bank & Trust – Led by President and CEO, Tom Budd, Rockford Bank & 
Trust (2005) reported net income for 2012 of $593 thousand. By comparison, the 
bank  reported  net  income  of  $412  thousand  for  2011. Total  assets  finished  the 
year  at  $313.8  million,  which  was  an  increase  of  $19.4  million,  or  7%  over  2011. 
Continuing to take advantage of the financial market disruption in Rockford is key 
as the Rockford community begins to rebound from the recession.

EXPANDING OUR FOOTPRINT

On February 14, 2013 we announced the signing of a definitive agreement to 
acquire  Community  National  Bancorporation  and  Community  National  Bank, 
headquartered in Waterloo, Iowa.

Community National Bank has 8 banking locations, approximately $290 million 
in assets and $248 million in deposits as of December 31, 2012.

The  synergies  between  both  entities’  approach  to  customer  and  community 
service  are  key  components  in  this  strategic  merger.  We  are  excited  about 
this  merger  which  is  subject  to  approval  by  banking  regulators,  approval 
by  Community  National  shareholders,  and  certain  closing  conditions.  The 
transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2013.

QCR HOLDINGS, INC. - STRATEGIC DIRECTION FOR 2013 AND BEYOND

During 2012 we built on many strategies that will position us for 2013 and beyond. 
We believe our team is geared to generate improved earnings at all entities. We are 
focused on doing all that we can to generate increased earnings per share (EPS) – 
prioritizing EPS over growth in assets.

We  will  continue  to  work  hard  to  preserve  and  grow  your  investment,  and  at 
the  same  time  look  for  opportunities  for  growth  in  the  niches  we  have  outlined 
previously. We are energized by the possibilities that these niches and our markets 
create for us, and we look forward to helping all of our clients realize their financial 
dreams.

The best part of our jobs is that we have the opportunity to work with 379 talented 
and hardworking individuals who do their very best every day to serve each other 
and  their  clients.  We  are  also  supported  by  remarkable  local  Board  members  in 
each of our communities. These community leaders generously lend their time and 
expertise – serving on our Boards, our committees, and advocating for us within 
their local communities. Their contributions are priceless.

We continue to recognize two specific areas where we need to make meaningful 
progress:  tangible  common  equity  and  our  efficiency  ratio.  Execution  of  our 
strategic direction will allow us to improve both.

We will continue to enhance liquidity and to preserve asset quality. We made great 
strides in 2012 with core deposit growth and we will continue that focus in 2013 and 
beyond. Our process for monitoring credit quality is top notch and will remain so.

Loan demand will likely mirror the economic recovery and we are poised to lend 
right  alongside  of  a  recovery. We  have  strategically  aligned  ourselves  to  serve  as 
experts on SBA and USDA Lending. We hope to continue as market innovators in 
those areas of lending. 

We are hopeful for a future when bank stocks find favor, but we are ready to stand 
on our own merits as a valued business serving its local markets. We are hopeful 
that our persistence and record earnings are reflected in our price very soon. We 
thank you for your patience and support.

We look forward to helping our clients realize their financial dreams – it’s what we 
do at our community banks, and what we do locally. We are a relationship driven 
organization®, and truly believe we can make a difference in doing just that.

President and Chief Executive Officer,
Quad CIty Bank & Trust

Our Team understands exactly what it means to be 
a part of Quad City Bank & Trust, and once again we 
are pleased to share with each of you a testimonial 
from one of our valued clients on how we have jointly 
benefited each other’s mission.

This year Quad City Bank & Trust made a long term 
commitment to the Quad City Symphony by becoming 
the exclusive partner of the Riverfront Pops concert. 
Nearly 9,000 Quad Citians enjoyed a beautiful evening 
along the grand Mississippi River, treated to the music 
of ABBA. With this partnership we are able to support 
music education programs for low income youth, as 
we recognize the vital role music education can play in 
success in school, life and in our society.

I am proud but humbled to serve alongside a Team of 
bankers, who prove every day that being a Community 
Banker is not just a job, but a privilege.

Recently one of our clients shared with us a story. 
They stated that while one of our team members 
was celebrating with them in the expansion of their 
business, they felt compelled to introduce our team 
member, not as their banker, but as the individual who 
helped make their dreams come true. What a blessing it 
is to be known as dream makers.

Thank you for your support. We simply would not be 
able to live the mission of our company without it.

As the Quad Cities premier community bank, we 
continue to carefully maneuver through rough 
seas, with a growing but weak economy, coupled 
with the on-going mixed messages coming out of 
Washington on taxes, regulation and economic 
policy.

How does a community bank such as Quad City Bank & 
Trust respond? We respond by focusing on what we do 
best, serving the community in which we are grateful 
to be a part.

In 2012, the Team at Quad City Bank & Trust did so 
in the following ways:

7,781 hours of community service,

a record number

$10.7 million in net income,

a record result and our second record year in a row

9% growth in loan and leases,

a sign of commitment to our community

As a community bank, headquartered in Bettendorf, 
Iowa, our Team of bankers live and practice our 
brand promise each and every day. Because of this 
commitment to excellence, our clients, community, 
and shareholders see firsthand why we are the financial 
institution they can Bank on.

President and Chief Executive Officer,
Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust

 
As I look back at our history and the long string of 
successes since our charter was formed in 2001, it really 
comes down to one thing…building trust. Our staff 
has spent the past eleven years building trust with our 
clients and our community. People who visit the bank 
see and feel the difference every day when they walk in 
and meet with our staff. That long term focus is paying 
dividends for our company and our shareholders.

Trust is built over time with demonstrations of 
conviction and confidence. Our clients have placed 
their trust in us by allowing us to guide them through 
these tumultuous financial times.

One of our core 
beliefs is anchored 
by trust: Healthy 
relationships are 
built when all parties 
are committed to 
the best interests of 
the other.

Despite the historically low rate environment, a 
contentious election and a soft economy, CRBT had 
a successful year. We continue to look for innovative 
strategies to grow our franchise with the goal of 
becoming the number one bank in our market. 

There is no denying that technological advances 
continue to reshape how we do business today. While 
it’s becoming increasingly important to be able to do 
your banking on a hand-held device, we cannot forget 
that banking relationships began with handshakes; 
knowing your banker, and your banker knowing you 
by name. Our value is not determined by how many 
“friends” have “liked” us, but by how many of our clients 
refer their friends and family to us because of the 
relationship that’s been established.

Local community banks have distinct advantages over 
the big bank competitors. Decisions are made locally 
by experienced bankers who live in and understand 
the specific needs of our community. Our children go 
to the same schools, we attend the same churches, and 
we patronize the same businesses as our clients. Our 
clients know that they can turn to us when a creative 
solution is needed.

Our involvement in the community of Cedar Rapids 
was recently recognized by the Eastern Iowa Chapter 
of the Association of Fundraising Professionals as the 
2012 Outstanding Philanthropic Organization. Each 
year, the AFP honors individuals and organizations 
for their tireless work and dedication to philanthropy 
that improves the quality of life in their communities 
and around the world. CRBT staff donates a great 
deal of time and energy to organizations that help 
our community, and we are committed to making a 
positive difference in the lives of the people who live 
here. The results of this commitment are deep and 
lasting relationships that will allow us to continue 
growing our franchise and produce rewarding results 
for our shareholders.

President and Chief Executive Officer,
Rockford Bank & Trust

Community banking is a general industry term 
used to describe banks whose primary focus is the 
communities in which they operate. We define it 
further by believing it represents an experience for 
clients and employees that is centered on the principle 
of building and nurturing long term relationships 
and demonstrating a commitment to improving our 
community.

As a community bank, we 
believe that banking will 
always be a relationship 
business and that the 
quality and depth of the 
relationship between 
our team and our clients 
is at the center of the 
“experience”.

We also believe that furthering our mission and 
achieving sustained success as a community bank is 
rooted in our culture. The experience of our clients is 
driven largely by their perception of our culture and 
how that culture is exhibited daily by our people. We 
strive for a culture that encourages employees to take 
pride in their contribution to the bank we’ve built. 
We create an environment where our employees can 
be proactive, creative, and make decisions that are 
mutually beneficial to the bank and our clients. 

The experience our culture creates starts with how 
the client is greeted when they enter our facilities or 
how they are addressed at the teller line. Our culture 
stresses that we serve all of the client’s needs without 
regard for who gets the credit. To build a relationship 
based on trust, we want our clients to feel that we 
are transparent in our assessment of their needs and 
sincere in our guidance. Most importantly, we want our 
clients to trust that we will be there to assist when they 
are most in need. 

Rockford Bank & Trust, as well as our clients, can 
succeed only if our community is well balanced and 
positioned for the future. During 2012, we supported 
over 60 organizations through donations and 
sponsorships. We were also supportive through our 
time and talents with our employees volunteering in 
excess of 1,500 hours on local boards and charitable 
events. 

As we enter our eighth year in 2013, we’re committed 
to furthering our culture and demonstrating that 
commitment in the depth and quality of our 
relationships with our clients, employees, and our 
community. Only then can we deliver the returns 
our shareholders expect. It means providing an 
environment where our employees can flourish and 
be proud of their bank. It also means providing the 
products and services to clients that are in the best 
interest of their relationship with the bank from a long 
term perspective.

Finally, we are honored to have Rockford Bank & Trust 
as our name because we are proud of the community 
we represent. We also understand that it comes with a 
responsibility to exhibit the highest level of integrity as 
we work and live in the Rockford Community.

“Partnership, trust, teamwork, support, courtesy 

and excitement – these are all words that 

immediately come to mind when I think about my 

relationship with Rockford Bank and Trust.

Beginning with our first meeting, it was apparent 

that Rockford Bank and Trust shared the same core 

values that aligned with our vision for the growth 

of our business and support of the community. 

Last year our business grew into 3 additional states 

and 5 additional markets while increasing revenue 

by over 80%. None of our growth would have 

been possible without the help of our friends at

By thinking locally, but acting nationally, 
m2 Lease Funds continues to differentiate 
itself from its peers.

During 2012, m2 Lease Funds opened an office in 
Charlotte, NC to join existing offices in the Quad Cities, 
Cedar Rapids, Minneapolis, Columbia, SC and Milwaukee.

By philosophy, m2 Lease Funds is a general equipment 
lessor, however, strategically m2 has found it beneficial 
to identify attractive niches where we can further 
differentiate ourselves from our competition. Some of 
these niches are marine, telecommunication, health 
care, manufacturing, broadcasting, food processing, 
baking, hospitality and specialty software.

None of our success, record earnings, or growth would 
be possible without the dedication, hard work and 
commitment from the team of m2 Lease Funds employees.

2012 was a very good year for m2 Lease Funds. We are 
pleased to announce that in 2012, m2 Lease Funds 
achieved record pre-tax earnings of more than $3.3 
million, an increase of 63% over the previous year. 
Additionally in 2012, m2 achieved a milestone of 
reaching $100 million in leases outstanding.

In 2012, m2 also celebrated its 15 year anniversary and 
its 7 year anniversary as part of the QCR Holdings family.

When m2 was started in 1998, it was our goal to create 
a different and better style of equipment leasing and 
finance experience for our customers; to create a culture 
of professionalism, quick turn around times, creative 
solutions and an overall hassle free, straightforward 
business experience. And by adhering to those 
fundamentals for the past 15 years, m2 has grown 
primarily through referrals. We currently have thousands 
of customers across the United States. We believe 
that our results demonstrate that those strategies 
and philosophies are sound and timeless and we will 
continue adhering to them for the foreseeable future.

27

QCR Holdings, Inc.   2012 Annual Report

“Please let me personally thank m2 for helping SPS 
achieve an outstanding business year in 2012. Even 
though we got started together late in the year, the 
finish you helped us put together resulted in the best 
year ever for SPS! We have enjoyed working with 
m2, and in all cases found you to be knowledgeable, 
savvy, smart and timely in your help in financing our 
programs at SPS.

We have not yet come upon a business challenge that 
we have not been successfully able to overcome. We 
feel that m2 truly cares about our business, and we are 
not just another account.

That adds tremendous value to the relationship. We 
look forward to more of the same and a tremendous 
level of growth in our business relationship in 2013.”
