MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1.Principles of Consolidation and Presentation
MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. (“MidWestOne” or the “Company,” which is also referred to herein as “we,” “our” or “us”) is an Iowa corporation incorporated in 1983, a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and a financial holding company under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. Our principal executive offices are located at 102 South Clinton Street, Iowa City, Iowa 52240.
The Company owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of MidWestOne Bank, an Iowa state non-member bank chartered in 1934 with its main office in Iowa City, Iowa (the “Bank”), and 100% of the common stock of MidWestOne Insurance Services, Inc., Oskaloosa, Iowa. We operate primarily through our bank subsidiary, MidWestOne Bank, and MidWestOne Insurance Services, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary that operates an insurance agency business, through three offices located in central and east-central Iowa.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all the information and notes necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is written with the presumption that the users of the interim financial statements have read or have access to the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K of MidWestOne, which contains the latest audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of December 31, 2010 and for the year then ended. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2011, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available to management at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for fair presentation. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 may not be indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2011, or for any other period.
All significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the quarterly financial statements are disclosed in the December 31, 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks, and federal funds sold.

2.Shareholders' Equity
Repurchase of Preferred Stock and Common Stock Warrant: On July 6, 2011, the Company announced that it had repurchased the 16,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A ("Preferred Stock"), issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) under the Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”) for an aggregate repurchase price of $16.0 million.
On July 27, 2011, the Company announced that it had repurchased the common stock warrant issued to the Treasury as part of the CPP for $1.0 million. The warrant had allowed Treasury to purchase 198,675 shares of MidWestOne common stock at $12.08 per share.
Preferred Stock: The number of authorized shares of preferred stock for the Company is 500,000. None are currently issued or outstanding.
Common Stock: The number of authorized shares of common stock for the Company is 15,000,000.
On July 26, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the implementation of a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.0 million of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock through December 31, 2011. Pursuant to the program, we repurchased 45,039 shares of common stock during the third quarter of 2011 for an aggregate cost of $658,000. Thus, as of September 30, 2011, $342,000 in additional repurchases remained authorized under the program.

Table of Contents


On October 18, 2011, our Board of Directors amended the Company's share repurchase program by increasing the remaining amount of authorized repurchases to $5.0 million, and extending the expiration of the program to December 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2011 the remaining amount of repurchases had been $342,000, and the program was set to expire December 31, 2011. Pursuant to the program, we may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market, and the method, timing and amounts of repurchase will be solely in the discretion of the Company's management. The repurchase program does not require us to acquire a specific number of shares. Therefore, the amount of shares repurchased pursuant to the program will depend on several factors, including market conditions, capital and liquidity requirements, and alternative uses for cash available.

3.Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share computations are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock actually outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 8,610,837 and 8,613,754, respectively. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 8,620,083 and 8,611,418, respectively. Diluted earnings per share amounts are computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and all dilutive potential shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share used a weighted average diluted number of shares outstanding of 8,640,231 and 8,642,424 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 8,646,816 and 8,633,509 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company's assessment of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is based on its reasonable judgment of the specific facts and circumstances impacting each individual security at the time such assessments are made. The Company reviews and considers factual information, including expected cash flows, the structure of the security, the credit quality of the underlying assets and the current and anticipated market conditions.
All of the Company's mortgage-backed securities are issued by government-sponsored agencies. The receipt of principal, at par, and interest on mortgage-backed securities is guaranteed by the respective government-sponsored agency guarantor, such that the Company believes that its mortgage-backed securities do not expose the Company to credit-related losses. The Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio consisted of securities underwritten to the standards of, and guaranteed by, the government-sponsored agencies of FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA.
The Company believes that the decline in the value of certain obligations of state and political subdivisions was primarily related to an overall widening of market spreads for many types of fixed income products since 2008, reflecting, among other things, reduced liquidity and the downgrades on the underlying credit default insurance providers. At September 30, 2011, approximately 60% of the municipal bonds held by the Company were Iowa based. The Company does not intend to sell these municipal obligations, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell them until the recovery of its cost at maturity. Due to the issuers' continued satisfaction of their obligations under the securities in accordance with their contractual terms and the expectation that they will continue to do so, management's intent and ability to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value, and the evaluation of the fundamentals of the issuers' financial condition and other objective evidence, the Company believes that the municipal obligations identified in the tables above were temporarily depressed as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
At September 30, 2011, the Company owned six collateralized debt obligations backed by pools of trust preferred securities with an original cost basis of $9.75 million. They are secured by trust preferred securities of banks and insurance companies throughout the United States, and were rated as investment grade securities when purchased between March 2006 and December 2007. However, due to several impairment charges recognized since 2008, the book value of these securities at September 30, 2011 had been reduced to $1.8 million. Two of the securities have been written down to a value of zero,

9

Table of Contents

with the remaining four having an average cost basis of 29.5% of their original face value. All of the Company's trust preferred collateralized debt obligations are in mezzanine tranches and are currently rated less than investment grade by Moody's Investor Services. The market for these securities is considered to be inactive according to the guidance issued in FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of its pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations and to assess OTTI. The discounted cash flow analysis was performed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 325. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include the following: estimated discount rates (using yields of comparable traded instruments adjusted for illiquidity and other risk factors), estimated deferral and default rates on collateral, and estimated cash flows. As part of its analysis of the collateralized debt obligations, the Company subjects the securities to a stress scenario which involves a level of deferrals or defaults in the collateral pool in excess of what the Company believes is likely.
At September 30, 2011, the analysis of the Company's six investments in pooled trust preferred securities indicated that the unrealized loss was temporary and that it is more likely than not that the Company would be able to recover the cost basis of these securities.  The pace of new deferrals and/or defaults by the financial institutions underlying these pooled trust preferred securities has slowed in recent quarters, although they remain at high levels. The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 320 in determining the amount of the OTTI recorded to earnings. The Company performed a discounted cash flow analysis, using the factors noted above, and determined that no additional OTTI existed for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, thus no impairment loss was charged to earnings.
 
It is reasonably possible that the fair values of the Company's investment securities could decline in the future if the overall economy and the financial condition of some of the issuers deteriorate further and the liquidity of these securities remains low. As a result, there is a risk that additional OTTI may occur in the future and any such amounts could be material to the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

For mortgage-backed securities, actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.
Other investment securities include investments in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock. The carrying value of the FHLB stock at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $12.3 million and $10.6 million, respectively, which is included in the Other Assets line of the consolidated balance sheets. This security is not readily marketable and ownership of FHLB stock is a requirement for membership in the FHLB Des Moines. The amount of FHLB stock the Bank is required to hold is directly related to the amount of FHLB advances borrowed. Because there are no available market values, this security is carried at cost and evaluated for potential impairment each quarter. Redemption of this investment is at the option of the FHLB.

Loan Portfolio Segment Risk Characteristics
Agricultural - Agricultural loans, most of which are secured by crops and machinery, are provided to finance capital improvements and farm operations as well as acquisitions of livestock and machinery.  The ability of the borrower to repay may be affected by many factors outside of the borrower's control including adverse weather conditions, loss of livestock due to disease or other factors, declines in market prices for agricultural products and the impact of government regulations.  The ultimate repayment of agricultural loans is dependent upon the profitable operation or management of the agricultural entity. Collateral for these loans generally includes accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real estate. However, depending on the overall financial condition of the borrower, some loans are made on an unsecured basis. The collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.
Commercial and Industrial - Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the reported cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower.  The collateral support provided by the borrower for most of these loans and the probability of repayment is based on the liquidation of the pledged collateral and enforcement of a personal guarantee, if any exists.  The primary repayment risks of commercial and industrial loans are that the cash flows of the borrower may be unpredictable, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. The size of the loans the Company can offer to commercial customers is less than the size of the loans that competitors with larger lending limits can offer. This may limit the Company's ability to establish relationships with the area's largest businesses. As a result, the Company may assume greater lending risks than financial institutions that have a lesser concentration of such loans and tend to make loans to larger businesses. Collateral for these loans generally includes accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real estate. However, depending on the overall financial condition of the borrower, some loans are made on an unsecured basis. The collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. In addition, a decline in the United States economy could harm the businesses of our commercial and industrial customers and reduce the value of the collateral securing these loans.

Commercial Real Estate - The Company offers mortgage loans to commercial and agricultural customers for the acquisition of real estate used in their business, such as offices, warehouses and production facilities, and to real estate investors for the acquisition of apartment buildings, retail centers, office buildings and other commercial buildings. The market value of real estate securing commercial real estate loans can fluctuate significantly in a short period of time as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. Adverse developments affecting real estate values in one or more of the Company's markets could increase the credit risk associated with its loan portfolio. Additionally, real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of the loans generally is dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the properties securing the loans to cover operating expenses and debt service. Economic events or governmental regulations outside of the control of the borrower or lender could negatively impact the future cash flow and market values of the affected properties.
Residential Real Estate - The Company generally retains short-term residential mortgage loans that are originated for its own portfolio but sells most long-term loans to other parties while retaining servicing rights on the majority of those. The market value of real estate securing residential real estate loans can fluctuate as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. Adverse developments affecting real estate values in one or more of the Company's markets could increase the credit risk associated with its loan portfolio. Additionally, real estate lending typically involves large loan principal amounts and the repayment of the loans generally is dependent, in large part, on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and are therefore more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.
Consumer - Consumer loans typically have shorter terms, lower balances, higher yields and higher risks of default. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and are therefore more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Collateral for these loans generally includes automobiles, boats, recreational vehicles, mobile homes, and real estate. However, depending on the overall financial condition of the borrower, some loans are made on an unsecured basis. The collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to recover and may fluctuate in value based on condition. In addition, a continued decline in the United States economy could result in reduced employment, impacting the ability of customers to repay their obligations.
Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality (loan pools) - The underlying loans in the loan pool participations include both fixed-rate and variable-rate instruments. No amounts for interest due are reflected in the carrying value of the loan pool participations.  Based on historical experience, the average period of collectibility for loans underlying loan pool participations, many of which have exceeded contractual maturity dates, is approximately three to five years. Loan pool balances are affected by the payment and refinancing activities of the borrowers resulting in pay-offs of the underlying loans and reduction in the balances. Collections from the individual borrowers are managed by the loan pool servicer, States Resources Corporation, and are affected by the borrower's financial ability and willingness to pay, foreclosure and legal action, collateral value, and the economy in general.
Charge-off Policy
The Company requires a loan to be at least partially charged-off as soon as it becomes apparent that some loss will be incurred, or when its collectability is sufficiently questionable that it no longer is considered a bankable asset. The primary considerations when determining if and how much of a loan should be charged-off are as follows: (1) the potential for future cash flows; (2) the value of any collateral; and (3) the strength of any co-makers or guarantors.
When it is determined that a loan requires partial or full charge-off, a request for approval of a charge-off is submitted to the Bank's President; Executive Vice President, Chief Credit Officer; and the Regional Senior Credit Officer. The Bank's Board of Directors formally approves all loan charge-offs retroactively at the next regularly scheduled meeting. Once a loan is fully charged-off, it cannot be restructured and returned to the Bank's books.
The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses - Bank Loans
The Company requires the maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) in order to cover probable losses without impacting the Company's capital base. Calculations are done at each quarter end, or more frequently if warranted, to analyze the collectability of loans and to ensure the adequacy of the allowance. In line with FDIC directives, the ALLL calculation does not include consideration of loans held for sale or off-balance-sheet credit exposures (such as unfunded letters of credit). Determining the appropriate level for the ALLL relies on the informed judgment of management, and as such, is subject to inaccuracy. Given the inherently imprecise nature of calculating the necessary ALLL, the Company's policy permits an "unallocated" allowance between 15% above and 5% below the “indicated reserve.”
Loans Measured Individually for Impairment
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company expanded its procedure for reviewing individual loans for potential impairment and determining the necessary allocation of the allowance for loan losses to impaired loans. Previously, only

13

Table of Contents

loans already identified as impaired were individually reviewed each quarter for further impairment. Effective March 31, 2011, in addition to loans already identified as impaired, all non-accrual and troubled debt restructures are evaluated for potential impairment due to collateral deficiency or insufficient cash-flow using an individual discounted cash-flow analysis at the loan's effective interest rate. Loans that are deemed fully collateralized or that have been charged down to a level corresponding with either of the measurements require no assignment of reserves from the ALLL.
All loans deemed troubled debt restructure, or “TDR”, are considered impaired, and are evaluated for collateral and cash-flow sufficiency. A loan is considered a TDR when the Bank, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that the Bank would not otherwise consider. All of the following factors are indicators that the Bank has granted a concession (one or multiple items may be present):
The borrower receives a reduction of the stated interest rate to a rate less than the institution is willing to accept at the time of the restructure for a new loan with comparable risk.
The borrower receives an extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market interest rate for new debt with similar risk characteristics.
The borrower receives a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement.
The borrower receives a deferral of required payments (principal and/or interest).
The borrower receives a reduction of the accrued interest.
The following table sets forth information on the Company's troubled debt restructurings by class of financing receivable occurring during the stated periods:

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company restructured four loans by granting concessions to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. A commercial loan was modified by the granting of an interest rate reduction. A construction and development loan made to an affiliated borrower of the commercial loan was also given a principal reduction as well as an interest rate reduction. Two commercial real estate loans were granted interest rate reductions, with one also having the loan terms modified to release protective advances back to the borrower. There were no loans restructured during the first six months of 2011.
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company restructured zero loans by granting concessions to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company restructured eight loans by granting concessions to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Two agricultural loans and one farmland loan were modified by the granting of interest rate reductions, and had the principal amount divided between three affiliated entities. Two commercial real estate loans, both to the same entity, were modified by the granting of interest rate reductions. Both of these loans subsequently defaulted on the modified terms and were charged-off. A residential real estate loan and a home equity loan, both made to the same borrower, were placed into forbearance for a limited term while the borrower attempted to sell the property. The property was not sold, and the borrower subsequently defaulted on the loan agreements. A home equity loan was given a principal reduction, with the remaining balance reamortized over a longer term.

As of September 30, 2011 the Company had 18 loans classified as TDRs with an outstanding balance of $6.4 million.
Loans Measured Collectively for Impairment
All loans not evaluated individually for impairment are grouped together by type (i.e., commercial, agricultural, consumer, etc.) and further segmented within each subset by risk classification (i.e., pass, special mention, and substandard). Loans past due 60-89 days and 90+ days are classified special mention and substandard, respectively, for allocation purposes.
The Company's historical loss experiences for each portfolio segment are calculated using the fiscal year end data for the most recent five years as a starting point for estimating losses. In addition, other prevailing qualitative, market, or environmental factors likely to cause probable losses to vary from historical data are to be incorporated in the form of adjustments to increase or decrease the loss rate applied to a group(s). These adjustments are required to be documented, and fully explain how the current information, events, circumstances, and conditions impact the historical loss measurement assumptions.
Although not a comprehensive list, the following are considered key factors and are evaluated with each calculation of the ALLL to determine if adjustments to estimated loss rates are warranted:
Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses.
Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments.
Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans.
Changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff.
Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans.
Changes in the quality of the institution's loan review system.
Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans.
The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations.
The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the level of estimated credit losses in the bank's existing portfolio.
The items discussed above are used to determine the pass percentage for loans evaluated collectively and, as such, are applied to the loans risk rated pass. Due to the inherent risks associated with special mention risk rated loans (i.e., early

stages of financial deterioration, technical exceptions, etc.), an allocation factor of two times that of the pass allocation is applied to this subset to reflect this increased risk exposure. In addition, loans classified as substandard carry an even greater level of risk than special mention loans, and an allocation factor of six times that of the pass allocation is applied to this subset of loans. Further, loans classified as substandard and are "performing collateral deficient" have an allocation factor of 12 times that of the pass allocation applied due to the perceived additional risk for these credits.
The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses - Loan Pools
The Company requires that the loan pool ALLL will be at least sufficient to cover the next quarter's estimated charge-offs as presented by the servicer and as reviewed by the Company. Currently, charge-offs are netted against the income the Company receives, thus the balance in the loan pool reserve is not affected and remains stable. In essence, a provision for loan losses is made that is equal to the quarterly charge-offs, which is deducted from income received from the loan pools. By maintaining a sufficient reserve to cover the next quarter charge-offs, the Company will have sufficient reserves in place should no income be collected from the loan pools during the quarter. In the event the estimated charge-offs provided by the servicer is greater than the loan pool ALLL, an additional provision is made to cover the difference between the current ALLL and the estimated charge-offs provided by the servicer.
Loans Reviewed Individually for Impairment
The loan servicer reviews the portfolio quarterly on a loan-by-loan basis, and loans that are deemed to be impaired are charged-down to their estimated value. All loans that are to be charged-down are reserved against in the ALLL adequacy calculation. Loans that continue to have an investment basis that have been charged-down are monitored, and if additional impairment is noted the reserve requirement is increased on the individual loan.
Loans Reviewed Collectively for Impairment
The Company utilizes the annualized average of portfolio loan (not loan pool) historical loss per risk category over a two-year period of time. Supporting documentation for the technique used to develop the historical loss rate for each group of loans is required to be maintained. It is management's assessment that the two-year rate is most reflective of the estimated credit losses in the current loan pool portfolio.

Special Mention/Watch - A special mention/watch asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution's credit position at some future date. Special mention/watch assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard - Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful - Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss - Loans classified loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.

Non-accrual and Delinquent Loans
Loans are placed on non-accrual when (1) payment in full of principal and interest is no longer expected or (2) principal or interest has been in default for 90 days or more (unless the loan is both well secured with marketable collateral and in the process of collection). All loans rated doubtful or worse are placed on non-accrual.
A non-accrual asset may be restored to an accrual status when (1) all past due principal and interest has been paid (excluding renewals and modifications that involve the capitalizing of interest) or (2) the loan becomes well secured and is in the process of collection. An established track record of performance is also considered when determining accrual status.
Delinquency status of a loan is determined by the number of days that have elapsed past the loan's payment due date, using the following classification groupings: 30-59 days, 60-89 days and 90 days or more. Loans shown in the 30-59 days and 60-89 days columns in the table above reflect contractual delinquency status only, and include loans considered nonperforming due to classification as a TDR or being placed on non-accrual.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company has no commitments to lend additional funds to any borrowers who have nonperforming loans.
Loan Pool Participations
ASC Topic 310 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor's initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. Loan pool loans were evaluated individually when purchased for application of ASC Topic 310, utilizing various criteria including: past-due status, late payments, legal status of the loan (not in foreclosure, judgment against the borrower, or referred to legal counsel), frequency of payments made, collateral adequacy and the borrower's financial condition. If all the criteria were met, the individual loan utilized the accounting treatment required by ASC Topic 310 with the accretable yield difference between the expected cash flows and the purchased basis accreted into income on the level yield basis over the anticipated life of the loan. If any of the six criteria were not met, the loan is accounted for on the cash-basis of accounting.
The loan servicer reviews the portfolio quarterly on a loan-by-loan basis, and loans that are deemed to be impaired are charged-down to their estimated value. As of September 30, 2011, approximately 59% of the loans were contractually current or less than 90 days past-due, while 41% were contractually past-due 90 days or more. Many of the loans were acquired in a contractually past due status, which is reflected in the discounted purchase price of the loans. Performance status is monitored on a monthly basis. The 41% contractually past-due includes loans in litigation and foreclosed property.

6.Income Taxes
Federal income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was computed using the consolidated effective federal tax rate. The Company also recognized income tax expense pertaining to state franchise taxes payable by the subsidiary bank.

7.Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
FASB ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability is not adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction

that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are: (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.
FASB ASC Topic 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
It is the Company's policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements. Recent market conditions have led to diminished, and in some cases, non-existent trading in certain of the financial asset classes. The Company is required to use observable inputs, to the extent available, in the fair value estimation process unless that data results from forced liquidations or distressed sales. Despite the Company's best efforts to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs, the current market environment has diminished the observability of trades and assumptions that have historically been available. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies are applied to all of the Company's financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value.
Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Securities Available for Sale - The Company's investment securities classified as available for sale include: debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government corporations and agencies, debt securities issued by state and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate debt securities, and equity securities. Quoted exchange prices are available for equity securities, which are classified as Level 1. Debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government corporations and agencies and mortgage-backed obligations are priced utilizing industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, volatility factors, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace and are classified as Level 2. Municipal securities are valued using a type of matrix, or grid, pricing in which securities are benchmarked against the treasury rate based on credit rating, maturity, and potential call dates. These model and matrix measurements are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company classifies its pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations as Level 3. The portfolio consists of six investments in collateralized debt obligations backed by pools of trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions and insurance companies. The Company has determined that the observable market data associated with these assets do not represent orderly transactions in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 and reflect forced liquidations or distressed sales. Based on the lack of observable market data, the Company estimated fair value based on the observable data available and reasonable unobservable market data. The Company estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow model which used appropriately adjusted discount rates reflecting credit and liquidity risks.

Mortgage Servicing Rights - The Company recognizes the rights to service mortgage loans for others on residential real estate loans internally originated and then sold. Mortgage servicing rights are recorded at fair value based on comparable market quotes and assumptions, through a third-party valuation service. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the servicing cost per loan, the discount rate, the escrow float rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. Because many of these inputs are unobservable, the valuations are classified as Level 3.
The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

Changes in the fair value of available for sale securities are included in other comprehensive income to the extent the changes are not considered other-than-temporary impairments. Other-than-temporary impairment tests are performed on a quarterly basis and any decline in the fair value of an individual security below its cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a write-down that is reflected directly in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
Collateral Dependent Impaired Loans - From time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for credit losses is established. The specific reserves for collateral dependent impaired loans are based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of collateral was determined based on appraisals. In some cases, adjustments were 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. Because many of these inputs are unobservable the valuations are classified as Level 3.
Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) - Other real estate represents property acquired through foreclosures and settlements of loans. Property acquired is carried at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan at the time of acquisition, or the estimated fair value of the property, less disposal costs. The Company considers third party appraisals as well as independent fair value assessments from real estate brokers or persons involved in selling OREO in determining the fair value of particular properties. Accordingly, the valuation of OREO is subject to significant external and internal judgment. The Company also periodically reviews OREO to determine whether the property continues to be carried at the lower of its recorded book value or fair value of the property, less disposal costs. Because many of these inputs are unobservable, the valuations are classified as Level 3.

The following presents the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the financial instruments held by the Company at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The information presented is subject to change over time based on a variety of factors. The operations of the Company are managed from a going concern basis and not a liquidation basis. As a result, the ultimate value realized from the financial instruments presented could be substantially different when actually recognized over time through the normal course of operations. Additionally, a substantial portion of the Company's inherent value is the Bank's capitalization and franchise value. Neither of these components has been given consideration in the presentation of fair values below.

Cash and cash equivalents, non-interest-bearing demand deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and accrued interest are instruments with carrying values that approximate fair value.
Investment securities available for sale and held to maturity are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is based upon quoted prices, if available. If a quoted price is not available, the fair value is obtained from benchmarking the security against similar securities by using a third-party pricing service.
Loans held for sale are typically sold within 30 days of origination, thus their cost approximates market value.
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for other loans are determined using estimated future cash flows, discounted at the interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality.

Table of Contents

The Company does record nonrecurring fair value adjustments to loans to reflect (1) partial write-downs that are based on the observable market price or appraised value of the collateral or (2) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value.
Loan pool participation carrying values represent the discounted price paid by us to acquire our participation interests in the various loan pools purchased, which approximate fair value.
The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock is estimated at its carrying value and redemption price of $100 per share.
Deposit liabilities are carried at historical cost. The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market account deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. If the fair value of the fixed maturity certificates of deposit is calculated at less than the carrying amount, the carrying value of these deposits is reported as the fair value.
Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and long-term debt are recorded at historical cost. The fair value of these items are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on these estimated fair values.

8.Variable Interest Entities
Loan Pool Participations
MidWestOne has invested in certain participation certificates of loan pools which are held and serviced by a third-party independent servicing corporation. MidWestOne's portfolio holds approximately 95% of participation interests in pools of loans owned and serviced by States Resources Corporation (“SRC”), a third-party loan servicing organization located in Omaha, Nebraska. SRC's owner holds the rest. The Company does not have any ownership interest in or control over SRC. As previously announced, the Company has decided to exit this line of business as current balances pay down.
These pools of loans were purchased from large nonaffiliated banking organizations and from the FDIC acting as receiver of failed banks and savings associations. As loan pools were put out for bid (generally in a sealed bid auction) the servicer's due diligence teams evaluated the loans and determined their interest in bidding on the pool. After the due diligence, MidWestOne management reviewed the status and decided if it wished to continue in the process. If the decision to consider a bid was made, the servicer conducted additional analysis to determine the appropriate bid price. This analysis involved discounting loan cash flows with adjustments made for expected losses, changes in collateral values as well as targeted rates of return. A cost or investment basis was assigned to each individual loan at cents per dollar (discounted price) based on the servicer's assessment of the recovery potential of each loan.
Once a bid was awarded to the Company's servicer, the Company assumed the risk of profit or loss but on a non-recourse basis so the risk is limited to its initial investment. The extent of the risk is also dependent upon: the debtor or guarantor's financial condition, the possibility that a debtor or guarantor may file for bankruptcy protection, the servicer's ability to locate any collateral and obtain possession, the value of such collateral, and the length of time it takes to realize the recovery either through collection procedures, legal process, or resale of the loans after a restructure.
Loan pool participations are shown on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as a separate asset category. The original carrying value or investment basis of loan pool participations is the discounted price paid by the Company to acquire its interests, which, as noted, is less than the face amount of the underlying loans. MidWestOne's investment basis is reduced as SRC recovers principal on the loans and remits its share to the Company or as loan balances are written off as uncollectible.

9.Effect of New Financial Accounting Standards
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, which clarifies whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The update clarifies the guidance on a creditor's evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and on a creditor's evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. In addition, under this ASU a creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test in the debtor's guidance on restructuring of payables when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in this update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and are to be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The Company adopted this amendment effective July 1, 2011, and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the FASB does not intend for the amendments to result in a change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820. Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are to be applied prospectively, and early application by public entities is not permitted. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and they are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The objective of this update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. To increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the FASB decided to eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, among other amendments in this update. The amendments require that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this update are to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company early adopted this amendment effective September 30, 2011, and it did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

10.Subsequent Events
Management evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Events or transactions occurring after September 30, 2011, but prior to the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, that provided additional evidence about conditions that existed at September 30, 2011 have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2011. Events or transactions that provided evidence about conditions that did not exist at September 30, 2011, but arose before the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, have not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2011.

On October 18, 2011, our Board of Directors amended the Company's share repurchase program by increasing the remaining amount of authorized repurchases to $5.0 million, and extending the expiration of the program to December 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2011 the remaining amount of repurchases had been $342,000, and the program was set to expire December 31, 2011. Pursuant to the program, we may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market, and the method, timing and amounts of repurchase will be solely in the discretion of the Company's management. The repurchase program does not require us to acquire a specific number of shares. Therefore, the amount of shares repurchased pursuant to the program will depend on several factors, including market conditions, capital and liquidity requirements, and alternative uses for cash available.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

OVERVIEW
The Company provides financial services to individuals, businesses, governmental units and institutional customers in east central Iowa. The Bank has office locations in Belle Plaine, Burlington, Cedar Falls, Conrad, Coralville, Davenport, Fairfield, Fort Madison, Iowa City, Melbourne, North English, North Liberty, Oskaloosa, Ottumwa, Parkersburg, Pella, Sigourney, Waterloo and West Liberty, Iowa. MidWestOne Insurance Services, Inc. provides personal and business insurance services in Pella, Melbourne and Oskaloosa, Iowa. The Bank is actively engaged in many areas of commercial banking, including: acceptance of demand, savings and time deposits; making commercial, real estate, agricultural and consumer loans; and other banking services tailored for its individual customers. The Wealth Management Division of the Bank administers estates, personal trusts, conservatorships, pension and profit-sharing accounts along with providing brokerage and other investment management services to customers.
We operate as an independent community bank that offers a broad range of customer-focused financial services as an alternative to large regional and multi-state banks in our market area. Management has invested in the infrastructure and staffing to support our strategy of serving the financial needs of businesses, individuals and municipalities in our market area. We focus our efforts on core deposit generation, especially transaction accounts, and quality loan growth with emphasis on growing commercial loan balances. We seek to maintain a disciplined pricing strategy on deposit generation that will allow us to compete for high quality loans while maintaining an appropriate spread over funding costs.
Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income on our earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense paid on our deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by non-interest income and expense, the provision for loan losses and income tax expense. Significant external factors that impact our results of operations include general economic and competitive conditions, as well as changes in market interest rates, government policies, and actions of regulatory authorities.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and with the statistical information and financial data appearing in this report as well as our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results to be attained for any other period.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Critical accounting estimates are those which are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and require our management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting estimates relate to the allowance for loan losses, participation interests in loan pools, application of purchase accounting, goodwill and intangible assets, and fair value of available for sale investment securities, all of which involve significant judgment by our management. Information about our critical accounting estimates is included under Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010
Summary
For the quarter ended September 30, 2011 we earned net income of $3.8 million, of which $3.6 million was available to common shareholders, compared with $2.8 million, of which $2.6 million was available to common shareholders, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 37.8% and 41.2%, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter of 2011 were $0.42 versus $0.30 for the third quarter of 2010. Our return on average assets for the third quarter of 2011 was 0.94% compared with a return of 0.71% for the same period in 2010. Our return on average shareholders' equity was 9.89% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus 6.94% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The return on average tangible common equity was 10.11% for the third quarter of 2011 compared with 7.74% for the same period in 2010.

We have traditionally disclosed certain non-GAAP ratios to evaluate and measure our financial condition, including our return on average tangible common equity and the ratio of our tangible common equity to tangible assets. We believe these ratios provide investors with information regarding our financial condition and how we evaluate our financial condition internally. The following tables provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP equivalents.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest income and fees earned on earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate levels and volume fluctuations within earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income. Net interest margin is net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets.
Certain assets with tax favorable treatment are evaluated on a tax-equivalent basis. Tax-equivalent basis assumes a federal income tax rate of 34%. Tax favorable assets generally have lower contractual pretax yields than fully taxable assets. A tax-equivalent analysis is performed by adding the tax savings to the earnings on tax-favorable assets. After factoring in the tax-favorable effects of these assets, the yields may be more appropriately evaluated against alternative earning assets. In addition to yield, various other risks are factored into the evaluation process.
Our net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 increased $0.3 million to $12.4 million compared with $12.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Our total interest income of $17.2 million was $0.5 million lower in the third quarter of 2011 compared with the same period in 2010. Most of the decrease in interest income was due to reduced interest on loans and interest income on loan pool participations, due primarily to lower average rates. The decrease in loan income was partially offset by an increase in interest on investment securities as a result of higher volume. The overall decrease in interest

30

Table of Contents

income was more than offset by reduced interest expense on deposits and FHLB advances. Total interest expense for the third quarter of 2011 decreased $0.8 million, or 14.2%, compared with the same period in 2010, due primarily to lower average interest rates in 2011. Our net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2011 decreased to 3.35% compared with 3.41% in the third quarter of 2010. Net interest margin is a measure of the net return on interest-earning assets and is computed by dividing annualized net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis by the average of total interest-earning assets for the period. Our overall yield on earning assets declined to 4.60% for the third quarter of 2011 from 4.93% for the third quarter of 2010. This decline was due primarily to lower rates being received on newly originated loans and purchases of investment securities, and decreased income from the loan pool participations. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased in the third quarter of 2011 to 1.46% from 1.80% for the third quarter of 2010, due to the continued repricing of new time certificates and FHLB advances at lower interest rates. We expect to continue battling net interest margin compression during the remainder of 2011 and into 2012, with interest rates at generational lows.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth an analysis of volume and rate changes in interest income and interest expense on our average earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities reported on a fully tax-equivalent basis assuming a 34% tax rate. The table distinguishes between the changes related to average outstanding balances (changes in volume holding the initial interest rate constant) and the changes related to average interest rates (changes in average rate holding the initial outstanding balance constant). The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Interest income and fees on loans on a tax-equivalent basis decreased $0.6 million, or 4.3%, in the third quarter of 2011 compared with the same period in 2010. Average loans were $1.1 million, or 0.1%, lower in the third quarter of 2011 compared with 2010. The decrease in average loan volume was attributable to declining utilization rates on lines of credit and pay-downs on term debt during the comparable period, as well as soft demand for new loans. The yield on our loan portfolio is affected by the amount of nonaccrual loans (which do not earn interest income), the mix of the portfolio (real estate loans generally have a lower overall yield than commercial and agricultural loans), the effects of competition and the interest rate environment on the amounts and volumes of new loan originations, and the mix of variable-rate versus fixed-rate loans in our portfolio. The average rate on loans decreased from 5.73% in the third quarter of 2010 to 5.49% in third quarter of 2011, primarily due to new and renewing loans being made at lower interest rates than those paying down.
Interest and discount income on loan pool participations was $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2011 compared with $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2010, a decrease of $0.3 million. The Company entered into this business upon consummation of its merger with the Former MidWestOne in March 2008. These loan pool participations are pools of performing, subperforming and nonperforming loans purchased at varying discounts from the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the underlying loans. The loan pools are held and serviced by a third-party independent servicing corporation. As previously announced, the Company has decided to exit this line of business as current balances pay down. We have minimal exposure in the loan pools to consumer real estate, subprime credit or construction and real estate development loans. Average loans pools were $19.0 million, or 24.8%, lower in the third quarter of 2011 compared with 2010. The decrease in average loan pool volume was due to loan pay downs and charge-offs.
Income is derived from this investment in the form of interest collected and the repayment of principal in excess of the purchase cost, which is referred to as “discount recovery.” The loan pool participations were historically a high-yield activity, but this yield has fluctuated from period to period based on the amount of cash collections, discount recovery, and net collection expenses of the servicer in any given period. The net “all-in” yield on loan pool participations was 2.14% for the third quarter of 2011, down from 3.52% for the same period of 2010. The net yield was lower in the third quarter of 2011 than for the third quarter of 2010 primarily due to increased charge-off levels in the portfolio, a trend we expect to continue in the future.

Interest income on investment securities on a tax-equivalent basis totaled $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared with $3.9 million for the same period of 2010. The average balance of investments in the third quarter of 2011 was $507.9 million compared with $426.0 million in the third quarter of 2010, an increase of $81.9 million, or 19.2%. The increase in average balance resulted from excess liquidity provided by a combination of decreasing loan balances and increasing deposits. The tax-equivalent yield on our investment portfolio in the third quarter of 2011 decreased to 3.34% from 3.61% in the comparable period of 2010 reflecting reinvestment of maturing securities and purchases of new securities at lower market interest rates.
Interest expense on deposits was $0.5 million, or 11.7%, lower in the third quarter of 2011 compared with the same period in 2010, mainly due to the decrease in interest rates being paid during 2011. The weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 1.34% in the third quarter of 2011 compared with 1.60% in the third quarter of 2010. This decline reflects the overall reduction in market interest rates on deposits throughout the markets in which we operate, and the gradual downward repricing of time deposits as higher rate certificates mature. Average interest-bearing deposits for the third quarter of 2011 increased $61.0 million, or 5.8% compared with the same period in 2010.
Interest expense on borrowed funds was $0.3 million lower in the third quarter of 2011 compared with the same period in 2010. Interest on borrowed funds totaled $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2011. Average borrowed funds for the third quarter of 2011 were $8.3 million higher compared with the same period in 2010. The majority of the difference was due to an increase in the level of FHLB borrowings and repurchase agreements. The weighted average rate on borrowed funds decreased to 2.12% for the third quarter of 2011 compared with 2.81% for the third quarter of 2010, reflecting the replacement of maturing higher-rate borrowings with those in the current lower-rate environment.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is a current charge against income and represents an amount which management believes is sufficient to maintain an adequate allowance for known and probable losses. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers the size and quality of the loan portfolio measured against prevailing economic conditions, regulatory guidelines, historical loan loss experience and credit quality of the portfolio. When a determination is made by management to charge off a loan balance, such write-off is charged against the allowance for loan losses.
We recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared with a $1.3 million provision in the third quarter of 2010, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 40.0%. Net loans charged off in the third quarter of 2011 totaled $0.7 million compared with net loans charged off of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2010. We continue to increase our loan loss allowance by maintaining a provision for loan losses that is greater than our net charge-off activity. We determine an appropriate provision based on our evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in relationship to a continuing review of problem loans, current economic conditions, actual loss experience and industry trends. We believe that the allowance for loan losses was adequate based on the inherent risk in the portfolio as of September 30, 2011; however, there is no assurance losses will not exceed the allowance and any growth in the loan portfolio, and the uncertainty of the general economy, may require that management continue to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and make additional provisions in future periods as deemed necessary.
Sensitive assets include nonaccrual loans, loans on the Bank's watch loan reports and other loans identified as having more than reasonable potential for loss. We review sensitive assets on at least a quarterly basis for changes in the customers' ability to pay and changes in the valuation of underlying collateral in order to estimate probable losses. We also periodically review a watch loan list which is comprised of loans that have been restructured or involve customers in industries which have been adversely affected by market conditions. The majority of these loans are being repaid in conformance with their contracts.

Total noninterest income increased $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2011 compared with the same period for 2010. The increase in 2011 is primarily due to increased net gains on the sale of available for sale securities combined with higher trust, investment, and insurance fees, and increased income on bank owned life insurance. Net gains on the sale of securities available for sale for the third quarter of 2011 were $0.3 million, an increase of $0.5 million from the $0.2 million loss realized for the same period of 2010. The gain was attributable to the acceleration of bond discount due to the early redemption of certain bonds with a call feature. Trust, investment, and insurance fees were $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2011, up $0.1 million, or 10.5%, from the $1.0 million for the same period last year. The increase in bank owned life insurance income was due to the purchase of an additional $8.0 million of insurance in the fourth quarter of 2010.
These increases were partially offset by decreased mortgage origination and loan servicing fees of $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2011, down from $1.0 million for the same period last year. The decrease in mortgage origination and loan servicing fees was attributable to lower refinancing activity in single-family residential loans during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. Management's strategic goal is for noninterest income to constitute 30% of total revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income) over time. For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, noninterest income comprised 24.1% of total revenues, compared with 23.7% for the same quarter in 2010. Management continues to evaluate options for increasing noninterest income, with particular emphasis on trust, investment, and insurance fees.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2011 was $10.3 million compared with $10.9 million for the third quarter of 2010, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 5.3%. The primary reasons for the lower noninterest expense for the quarter were a decrease in FDIC insurance expense from $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2010 to $0.3 million for the same period of 2011, and a decrease in salaries and employee benefits to $5.7 million for the third quarter of 2011 from $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2010. The decrease in FDIC insurance expense was primarily due to the lower assessment rates being applied to the Company (see "FDIC Assessments" below), while the lower salaries and employee benefits expenses were the result of management's cost control and efficiency efforts, notably the closing of three branch facilities in late 2010.
These decreases were partially offset by higher professional fees of $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2011, up $0.1 million, or 14.8%, from $0.7 million for the comparable period of 2010. All remaining noninterest expense categories showed slight decreases. Management expects noninterest expense categories to remain stable for the remainder of 2011.

Effective December 31, 2007, the Bank elected to curtail its noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for substantially all of its pre-merger employees, by limiting this employee benefit to those employees vested as of December 31, 2007. During recent efforts to fully terminate the plan, and with recent volatility in the financial markets, we became aware of a widened funding gap between the plan's accumulated benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. Current estimates have placed the pre-tax termination expense as high as $5.0 million. We expect to complete the termination process in the first six months of 2012, at which time the actual expense will be recorded, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate, or income taxes divided by income before taxes, was 27.2% for the third quarter of 2011, and 24.7% for the same period of 2010. The increase in the effective tax rate was the result of a lower proportion of our income being attributable to interest from tax-exempt bonds. Income tax expense increased $0.5 million to $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared with $0.9 million income tax expense for the same period of 2010, due primarily to increased net income.
FDIC Assessments
On November 12, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule that required insured depository institutions to prepay on December 30, 2009, their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012. On December 31, 2009, the Bank paid the FDIC $9.2 million in prepaid assessments. The FDIC determined each institution's prepaid assessment based on the institution's: (i) actual September 30, 2009 assessment base, increased quarterly by a five percent annual growth rate through the fourth quarter of 2012; and (ii) total base assessment rate in effect on September 30, 2009, increased by an annualized three basis points beginning in 2011. The FDIC began to offset prepaid assessments on March 31, 2010, representing payment of the regular quarterly risk-based deposit insurance assessment for the fourth quarter of 2009.
On February 7, 2011, the FDIC Board of Directors adopted a final rule which redefined the deposit insurance assessment base as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act"). The new rule: (i) made changes to assessment rates from being based on adjusted domestic deposits to average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity; (ii) implements the Dodd-Frank Act's Deposit Insurance Fund (the "DIF") dividend provisions; and (iii) revised the risk-based assessment system for all large (greater than $10 billion in assets) insured depository institutions. Changes pursuant to the rule were effective April 1, 2011, and resulted in a reduction in the Bank's assessments. Any prepaid assessment not exhausted after collection of the amount due on June 30, 2013, will either be returned to the Bank or credited towards future assessments. As of September 30, 2011, $5.4 million of the Bank's prepaid assessments balance remained.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010
Summary
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we earned net income of $10.0 million, of which $9.3 million was available to common shareholders, compared with $7.4 million, of which $6.7 million was available to common shareholders, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 34.8% and 38.2%, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the first three quarters of 2011 were $1.08 versus $0.78 for the first three quarters of 2010. Our return on average assets for the first nine months of 2011 was 0.83% compared with a return of 0.64% for the same period in 2010. Our return on average shareholders' equity was 8.39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 versus 6.35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The return on average tangible common equity was 9.09% for the first three quarters of 2011 compared with 7.04% for the same period in 2010.

We have traditionally disclosed certain non-GAAP ratios to evaluate and measure our financial condition, including our return on average tangible common equity and the ratio of our tangible common equity to tangible assets. We believe these ratios provide investors with information regarding our financial condition and how we evaluate our financial condition internally.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest income and fees earned on earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate levels and volume fluctuations within earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income. Net interest margin is net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets.
Certain assets with tax favorable treatment are evaluated on a tax-equivalent basis. Tax-equivalent basis assumes a federal income tax rate of 34%. Tax favorable assets generally have lower contractual pretax yields than fully taxable assets. A tax-equivalent analysis is performed by adding the tax savings to the earnings on tax-favorable assets. After factoring in the tax-favorable effects of these assets, the yields may be more appropriately evaluated against alternative earning assets. In addition to yield, various other risks are factored into the evaluation process.
Our net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $0.2 million to $36.2 million compared with $36.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Our total interest income of $51.5 million was $2.2 million lower in the first nine months of 2011 compared with the same period in 2010. Most of the decrease in interest income was due to reduced interest on loans and interest income on loan pool participations, due primarily to lower average rates. The decrease in loan income was partially offset by an increase in interest on investment securities as a result of higher volume. The overall decrease in interest income was more than offset by reduced interest expense on deposits and FHLB advances. Total interest expense for the first three quarters of 2011 decreased $2.4 million, or 13.7%, compared with the same period in 2010, due primarily to lower average interest rates in 2011. Our net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the first three quarters of 2011 decreased to 3.33% compared with 3.46% in the first three quarters of 2010. Net interest margin is a measure of the net return on interest-earning assets and is computed by dividing annualized net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis by the average of total interest-earning assets for the period. Our overall yield on earning assets declined to 4.67% for the first three quarters of 2011 from 5.08% for the first three quarters of 2010. This decline was due primarily to lower rates being received on newly originated loans and purchases of investment securities, and decreased income from the loan pool participations. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased in the first nine months of 2011 to 1.57% from 1.90% for the first nine months of 2010, due to the continued repricing of new time certificates and FHLB borrowings at lower interest rates. We expect to continue battling net interest margin compression during the remainder of 2011 and into 2012, with interest rates at generational lows.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth an analysis of volume and rate changes in interest income and interest expense on our average earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities reported on a fully tax-equivalent basis assuming a 34% tax rate. The table distinguishes between the changes related to average outstanding balances (changes in volume holding the initial interest rate constant) and the changes related to average interest rates (changes in average rate holding the initial outstanding balance constant). The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Interest income and fees on loans on a tax-equivalent basis decreased $2.3 million, or 5.5%, in the first three quarters of 2011 compared with the same period in 2010. Average loans were $13.0 million, or 1.4%, lower in the first three quarters of 2011 compared with 2010. The decrease in average loan volume was attributable to declining utilization rates on lines of credit and pay-downs on term debt during the comparable period, as well as soft demand for new loans. The yield on our loan portfolio is affected by the amount of nonaccrual loans (which do not earn interest income), the mix of the portfolio (real estate loans generally have a lower overall yield than commercial and agricultural loans), the effects of competition and the interest rate environment on the amounts and volumes of new loan originations, and the mix of variable-rate versus fixed-rate loans in our portfolio. The average rate on loans decreased from 5.78% in the first three quarters of 2010 to 5.54% in first three quarters of 2011, primarily due to new and renewing loans being made at lower interest rates than those paying down.
Interest and discount income on loan pool participations was $1.1 million for the first three quarters of 2011 compared with $2.4 million for the first three quarters of 2010, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 53.3%. The Company entered into this business upon consummation of its merger with the Former MidWestOne in March 2008. These loan pool participations are pools of performing, subperforming and nonperforming loans purchased at varying discounts from the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the underlying loans. The loan pools are held and serviced by a third-party independent servicing corporation. As previously announced, the Company has decided to exit this line of business as current balances pay down. We have minimal exposure in the loan pools to consumer real estate, subprime credit or construction and real estate development loans. Average loans pools were $18.8 million, or 23.3%, lower in the first three quarters of 2011 compared with 2010. The decrease in average loan pool volume was due to loan pay downs and charge-offs.
Income is derived from this investment in the form of interest collected and the repayment of principal in excess of the purchase cost, which is referred to as “discount recovery.” The loan pool participations were historically a high-yield activity, but this yield has fluctuated from period to period based on the amount of cash collections, discount recovery, and net collection expenses of the servicer in any given period. The net “all-in” yield on loan pool participations was 2.38% for the first three quarters of 2011, down from 4.55% for the same period of 2010. The net yield was lower in the first three quarters of 2011 than for the first three quarters of 2010 primarily due to increased charge-off levels in the portfolio, a trend we expect to continue in the future.

Interest income on investment securities on a tax-equivalent basis totaled $12.9 million in the first nine months of 2011 compared with $11.6 million for the same period of 2010. The average balance of investments in the first three quarters of 2011 was $501.3 million compared with $404.5 million in the first three quarters of 2010, an increase of $96.8 million, or 23.9%. The increase in average balance resulted from excess liquidity provided by a combination of decreasing loan and loan pool balances and increasing deposits. The tax-equivalent yield on our investment portfolio in the first three quarters of 2011 decreased to 3.44% from 3.82% in the comparable period of 2010 reflecting reinvestment of maturing securities and purchases of new securities at lower market interest rates.
Interest expense on deposits was $1.5 million, or 11.6%, lower in the first three quarters of 2011 compared with the same period in 2010, mainly due to the decrease in interest rates being paid during 2011. The weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 1.43% in the first nine months of 2011 compared with 1.71% in the first nine months of 2010. This decline reflects the overall reduction in market interest rates on deposits throughout the markets in which we operate, and the gradual downward repricing of time deposits as higher rate certificates mature. Average interest-bearing deposits for the first nine months of 2011 increased $56.3 million, or 5.4% compared with the same period in 2010.
Interest expense on borrowed funds was $0.9 million lower in the first nine months of 2011 compared with the same period in 2010. Interest on borrowed funds totaled $3.4 million for the first three quarters of 2011. Average borrowed funds for the first three quarters of 2011 were $2.7 million higher compared with the same period in 2010. The majority of the difference was due to an increase in repurchase agreements, partially offset by a reduction in the level of FHLB borrowings. The weighted average rate on borrowed funds decreased to 2.35% for the first three quarters of 2011 compared with 2.99% for the first three quarters of 2010, reflecting the replacement of maturing higher-rate borrowings with those in the current lower-rate environment.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is a current charge against income and represents an amount which management believes is sufficient to maintain an adequate allowance for known and probable losses. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers the size and quality of the loan portfolio measured against prevailing economic conditions, regulatory guidelines, historical loan loss experience and credit quality of the portfolio. When a determination is made by management to charge off a loan balance, such write-off is charged against the allowance for loan losses.
We recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.6 million in the first three quarters of 2011 compared with a $4.3 million provision in the first three quarters of 2010, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 40.0%. Net loans charged off in the first nine months of 2011 totaled $2.1 million compared with net loans charged off of $3.3 million in the first nine months of 2010. We continue to increase our loan loss allowance by maintaining a provision for loan losses that is greater than our net charge-off activity. We determine an appropriate provision based on our evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in relationship to a continuing review of problem loans, current economic conditions, actual loss experience and industry trends. We believe that the allowance for loan losses was adequate based on the inherent risk in the portfolio as of September 30, 2011; however, there is no assurance losses will not exceed the allowance and any growth in the loan portfolio, and the uncertainty of the general economy, may require that management continue to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and make additional provisions in future periods as deemed necessary.
Sensitive assets include nonaccrual loans, loans on the Bank's watch loan reports and other loans identified as having more than reasonable potential for loss. We review sensitive assets on at least a quarterly basis for changes in the customers' ability to pay and changes in the valuation of underlying collateral in order to estimate probable losses. We also periodically review a watch loan list which is comprised of loans that have been restructured or involve customers in industries which have been adversely affected by market conditions. The majority of these loans are being repaid in conformance with their contracts.

Total noninterest income increased $0.5 million for the first three quarters of 2011 compared with the same period for 2010. The increase in 2011 is primarily due to increased other service charges, commissions and fees combined with increased bank owned life insurance income, and the absence of impairment losses on investment securities. Other service charges, commissions and fees totaled $2.0 million for the first three quarters of 2011, up from $1.8 million for the same period last year, while bank owned life insurance income increased by $0.2 million or 44.28% during the first nine months of 2011, compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in other service charges, commissions and fees was attributable to higher debit card income during the first three quarters of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. Due to recent regulatory changes, we expect to see a future decline in debit card income. The increase in bank owned life insurance income is primarily the result of the purchase of an additional $8.0 million of insurance in the fourth quarter of 2010.
These improvements were partially offset by decreased service charges and fees on deposit accounts and decreased mortgage origination and loan servicing fees. For the first nine months of 2011, service charges and fees on deposit accounts were $2.8 million, down $0.2 million, or 7.9%, from $3.0 million for the same period of 2010. This decrease was primarily due to lower income from non-sufficient funds ("NSF") charges between the comparable periods due to lower NSF activity resulting from the general economic downturn. Mortgage origination and loan servicing fees decreased $0.2 million, or 9.7%, to $1.8 million for the first three quarters of 2011 compared to $2.0 million for the same period last year. The decrease in mortgage origination and loan servicing fees was attributable to lower refinancing activity in single-family residential loans during the first nine months of 2011, compared to the same period of 2010. Management's strategic goal is for noninterest income to constitute 30% of total revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income) over time. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, noninterest income comprised 23.4% of total revenues, compared with 22.7% for the same period in 2010.

Noninterest expense for the first three quarters of 2011 was $31.2 million compared with $32.6 million for the first three quarters of 2010, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 4.2%. All noninterest expense categories except professional fees, which increased slightly, decreased during the first three quarters of 2011 compared with the same period a year ago. The primary reasons for the lower noninterest expense for the period were a decrease in FDIC insurance expense from $2.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, to $1.3 million for the same period of 2011, and a decrease in net occupancy and equipment expense from $5.0 million for the first three quarters of 2010 to $4.7 million for the first three quarters of 2011. The decrease in FDIC insurance

Table of Contents

expense was primarily due to the lower assessment rates being applied to the Company, while the lower net occupancy and equipment expenses were the result of management's cost control and efficiency efforts, notably the closing of three branch facilities in late 2010. Management expects noninterest expense categories to remain stable for the remainder of 2011.
Effective December 31, 2007, the Bank elected to curtail its noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for substantially all of its pre-merger employees, by limiting this employee benefit to those employees vested as of December 31, 2007. During recent efforts to fully terminate the plan, and with recent volatility in the financial markets, we became aware of a widened funding gap between the plan's accumulated benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. Current estimates have placed the pre-tax termination expense as high as $5.0 million. We expect to complete the termination process in the first six months of 2012, at which time the actual expense will be recorded, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate, or income taxes divided by income before taxes, was 26.3% for the first three quarters of 2011, and 24.2% for the same period of 2010. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2011 was primarily due to the lower relative amount of tax-exempt income on tax-exempt bonds to total income. Income tax expense increased $1.2 million to $3.6 million in the first three quarters of 2011 compared with $2.4 million income tax expense for the same period of 2010, due primarily to increased net income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our total assets increased to $1.63 billion as of September 30, 2011 from $1.58 billion on December 31, 2010. This growth resulted primarily from increased investment in securities along with cash and cash equivalents and bank loans, somewhat offset by a decrease in loan pool participation balances. The asset growth was funded by an increase in deposit balances and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in repurchase agreements. Total deposits at September 30, 2011 were $1.27 billion compared with $1.22 billion at December 31, 2010, up $47.3 million, or 3.9%, primarily due to increased consumer and public fund deposits. Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings increased $11.8 million from $127.2 million at December 31, 2010, to $139.0 million at September 30, 2011, while repurchase agreements were $41.9 million at September 30, 2011, a decrease of $8.3 million, from $50.2 million at December 31, 2010.
Investment Securities
Investment securities available for sale totaled $491.8 million as of September 30, 2011. This was an increase of $29.8 million, or 6.5%, from December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to investment purchases of $124.6 million, somewhat offset by security maturities or calls during the period of $105.9 million. Investment securities classified as held to maturity decreased to $2.5 million as of September 30, 2011 as a result of security maturities. The investment portfolio consists mainly of U.S. government agency securities (10.3%), mortgage-backed securities (45.3%), and obligations of states and political subdivisions (41.4%).
As of September 30, 2011, we owned collateralized debt obligations with an amortized cost of $1.8 million that were backed by pools of trust preferred securities issued by various commercial banks (approximately 80%) and insurance companies (approximately 20%). No real estate holdings secure these debt securities. We continue to monitor the values of these debt securities for purposes of determining other-than-temporary impairment in future periods given the instability in the financial markets and continue to obtain updated cash flow analysis as required. See Note 4 “Investment Securities” for additional information related to investment securities.

Total bank loans (excluding loan pool participations and loans held for sale) increased by $17.7 million, to $955.8 million as of September 30, 2011 as compared to December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, our bank loan (excluding loan pool participations) to deposit ratio was 75.5% compared with a year-end 2010 bank loan to deposit ratio of 76.9%. We anticipate that the loan to deposit ratio will remain steady in future periods, as loans continue measured growth and deposits remain steady or increase.
We have minimal direct exposure to subprime mortgages in our loan portfolio. Our loan policy provides a guideline that real estate mortgage borrowers have a Beacon score of 640 or greater. Exceptions to this guideline have been noted but the overall exposure is deemed minimal by management. Mortgages we originate and sell on the secondary market are typically underwritten according to the guidelines of secondary market investors. These mortgages are sold on a non-recourse basis. See Note 5 “Loans Receivable and the Allowance for Loan Losses” for additional information related to loans.
Loan Review and Classification Process for Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial, and Commercial Real Estate Loans:
The Company maintains a loan review and classification process which involves multiple officers of the Company and is designed to assess the general quality of credit underwriting and to promote early identification of potential problem loans. All Commercial and Agricultural loan officers are charged with the responsibility of risk rating all loans in their portfolios and updating the ratings, positively or negatively, on an ongoing basis as conditions warrant. A monthly loan officer validation worksheet documents this process. Risk ratings are selected from an 8-point scale with ratings as follows: ratings 1- 4 Satisfactory (pass), rating 5 Watch (potential weakness), rating 6 Substandard (well-defined weakness), rating 7 Doubtful, and rating 8 Loss.
When a loan officer originates a new loan, based upon proper loan authorization, he or she documents the credit file with an offering sheet summary, supplemental underwriting analysis, relevant financial information and collateral evaluations. All of this information is used in the determination of the initial loan risk rating. The Company's Loan Review department undertakes independent credit reviews of relationships based on either criteria established by Loan Policy, risk-focused sampling, or random sampling. Loan Policy requires the top 50 lending relationships by total exposure be reviewed no less than annually as well as those credits rated Watch ($250,000 and greater) and Substandard (or worse, $100,000 and greater). The individual loan reviews analyze such items as: loan type; nature, type and estimated value of collateral; borrower and/or guarantor estimated financial strength; most recently available financial information; related loans and total borrower exposure; and current/anticipated performance of the loan. The results of such reviews are presented to Executive Management.
Through the review of delinquency reports, updated financial statements or other relevant information in the normal course of business, the lending officer and/or Loan Review personnel may determine that a loan relationship has weakened to the point that a criticized (loan grade 5) or classified (loan grade 6 through 8) status is warranted. When a loan relationship with total related exposure of $1.0 million or greater is adversely graded (5 or above), or is classified as a Troubled Debt Restructure (regardless of

43

Table of Contents

size), the lending officer is then charged with preparing a Loan Strategy Summary worksheet that outlines the background of the credit problem, current repayment status of the loans, current collateral evaluation and a workout plan of action. This plan may include goals to improve the credit rating, assisting the borrower in moving the loans to another institution and/or collateral liquidation. All such reports are first presented to Regional Management and then to the Board of Directors by the Executive Vice President, Chief Credit Officer (or a designee).
Depending upon the individual facts and circumstances and the result of the Classified/Watch review process, Loan officers and/or Loan Review personnel may categorize the loan relationship as impaired. Once that determination has occurred, the Loan Officer, in conjunction with Regional Management, will complete an evaluation of the collateral (for collateral-dependent loans) based upon appraisals on file adjusting for current market conditions and other local factors that may affect collateral value. Loan Review personnel may also complete an independent impairment analysis when deemed necessary. These judgmental evaluations may produce an initial specific allowance for placement in the Company's Allowance for Loan & Lease Losses calculation. As soon as practical, updated appraisals on the collateral backing that impaired loan relationship are ordered. When the updated appraisals are received, Regional Management, with assistance from the Loan Review department, reviews the appraisal and updates the specific allowance analysis for each loan relationship accordingly. The Board of Directors on a quarterly basis reviews the Classified/Watch reports including changes in credit grades of 5 or higher as well as all impaired loans, the related allowances and OREO.
In general, once the specific allowance has been finalized, Regional and Executive Management will consider a charge-off prior to the calendar quarter-end in which that reserve calculation is finalized.
The review process also provides for the upgrade of loans that show improvement since the last review.
Loan Pool Participations
As of September 30, 2011, we had loan pool participations, net, totaling $53.5 million, down from $65.9 million at December 31, 2010. Loan pools are participation interests in performing, subperforming and nonperforming loans that have been purchased from various non-affiliated banking organizations. The Company entered into this business upon consummation of its merger with the Former MidWestOne in March 2008. As previously announced, the Company has decided to exit this line of business as current balances pay down. The loan pool investment balances shown as an asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the discounted purchase cost of the loan pool participations. As of September 30, 2011, the categories of loans by collateral type in the loan pools were commercial real estate - 49%, commercial loans - 10%, agricultural and agricultural real estate - 7%, single-family residential real estate - 13% and other loans - 21%. We have minimal exposure in the loan pools to consumer real estate subprime credit or to construction and real estate development loans. See Note 5 “Loans Receivable and the Allowance for Loan Losses” for additional information related to loan pools.
Our overall cost basis in the loan pool participations represents a discount from the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loans underlying the pools. For example, as of September 30, 2011, such cost basis was $55.6 million, while the contractual outstanding principal amount of the underlying loans as of such date was approximately $133.9 million, resulting in an investment basis of 41.5% of the "face amount" of the underlying loans. The discounted cost basis inherently reflects the assessed collectability of the underlying loans. We do not include any amounts related to the loan pool participations in our totals of nonperforming loans.
The loans in the pools provide some geographic diversification to our balance sheet. As of September 30, 2011, loans in the southeast region of the United States represented approximately 44% of the total. The northeast was the next largest area with 32%, the central region with 19%, the southwest region with 4% and northwest represented a minimal amount of the portfolio at 1%. The highest concentration of assets is in Florida at approximately 23% of the basis total, with the next highest state level being Ohio at 14%, then Pennsylvania and New Jersey, both at approximately 9%. As of September 30, 2011, approximately 59% of the loans were contractually current or less than 90 days past-due, while 41% were contractually past-due 90 days or more. It should be noted that many of the loans were acquired in a contractually past due status, which is reflected in the discounted purchase price of the loans. Performance status is monitored on a monthly basis. The 41% contractually past-due includes loans in litigation and foreclosed property. As of September 30, 2011, loans in litigation totaled approximately $6.6 million, while foreclosed property was approximately $11.9 million.
Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets decreased to $10.5 million as of September 30, 2011 from $11.1 million as of December 31, 2010 as a result of normal amortization. Amortization of intangible assets is recorded using an accelerated method based on the estimated life of the intangible.

Deposits
Total deposits as of September 30, 2011 were $1.27 billion compared with $1.22 billion as of December 31, 2010. Certificates of deposit were the largest category of deposits at September 30, 2011, representing approximately 45.3% of total deposits. Total certificates of deposit were $574.2 million at September 30, 2011, up $2.5 million, or 0.4%, from $571.6 million at December 31, 2010. Included in total certificates of deposit at September 30, 2011 was $33.7 million of brokered deposits in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) program, an increase of $0.7 million, or 2.1%, from the $33.0 million at December 31, 2010. Based on historical experience, management anticipates that many of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed upon maturity. Maintaining competitive market interest rates will facilitate our retention of certificates of deposit. Interest-bearing checking deposits were $481.7 million at September 30, 2011, an increase of $38.9 million, or 8.8%, from $442.9 million at December 31, 2010. The increased balances in non-certificate deposit accounts were primarily in public funds accounts. Included in interest-bearing checking deposits at September 30, 2011 was $15.0 million of brokered deposits in the Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) program, an increase of $10.0 million, or 200.0%, from the $5.0 million at December 31, 2010. We expect continued growth in ICS balances as we market the account type to a wider range of customers. Approximately 83.1% of our total deposits are considered “core” deposits.
Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings
FHLB borrowings totaled $139.0 million as of September 30, 2011 compared with $127.2 million as of December 31, 2010. We utilize FHLB borrowings as a supplement to customer deposits to fund earning assets and to assist in managing interest rate risk. During the second quarter of 2011, we restructured three FHLB advances totaling $9.0 million. Restructuring the debt involved paying off the existing advances (including payment of early termination fees), and the simultaneous issuance of a new advances with a longer term but substantially lower effective cost. Early termination fees are being amortized over the life of the new borrowings.
Long-term Debt
Long-term debt in the form of junior subordinated debentures that have been issued to a statutory trust that issued trust preferred securities was $15.5 million as of September 30, 2011, unchanged from December 31, 2010. These junior subordinated debentures were assumed by us from Former MidWestOne in the merger. Former MidWestOne had issued these junior subordinated debentures on September 20, 2007, to MidWestOne Capital Trust II. The junior subordinated debentures mature on December 15, 2037, do not require any principal amortization and are callable at par at our option on or after September 20, 2012. The interest rate is fixed at 6.48% until December 15, 2012 on $7.7 million of the issuance and is variable quarterly at the three month LIBOR plus 1.59% on the remainder. After December 15, 2012, the interest rate on the entire issuance becomes variable quarterly at the three month LIBOR plus 1.59%.

Our nonperforming assets totaled $23.6 million as of September 30, 2011, down $0.1 million compared to December 31, 2010. The balance of other real estate owned at September 30, 2011 was $3.9 million, unchanged from $3.9 million at year-end 2010. Nonperforming loans totaled $19.7 million (2.1% of total bank loans) as of September 30, 2011, compared to $19.8 million (2.1% of total bank loans) as of December 31, 2010. See Note 5 “Loans Receivable and the Allowance for Loan Losses” for additional information related to nonperforming assets.
The nonperforming loans consisted of $12.5 million in nonaccrual loans, $6.4 million in troubled debt restructures and $0.8 million in loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing. This compares with $12.4 million, $5.8 million and $1.6 million,

respectively, as of December 31, 2010. Nonaccrual loans increased $0.1 million, or 0.7%, at September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010. The Company experienced a $0.6 million, or 9.6%, increase in restructured loans, from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011, primarily due to the addition of three commercial real estate loans totaling $1.7 million. During the same period, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest decreased by $0.8 million, or 49.1%, from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011. Additionally, loans past-due 30 to 89 days (not included in the nonperforming loan totals) were $7.0 million as of September 30, 2011 compared with $10.5 million as of December 31, 2010, a decrease of $3.5 million or 33.5%.
All of the other real estate property was acquired through foreclosures and we are actively working to sell all properties held as of September 30, 2011. Other real estate is carried at appraised value less estimated cost of disposal at date of acquisition. Additional discounts could be required to market and sell the properties, resulting in a write down through expense.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Our Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALLL”) as of September 30, 2011 was $15.7 million, which was 1.6% of total bank loans (excluding loan pools) as of that date. This compares with an ALLL of $15.2 million as of December 31, 2010, which was 1.6% of total bank loans as of that date. Gross charge-offs for the nine months of 2011 totaled $2.9 million, while recoveries of previously charged-off loans totaled $0.9 million. Annualized net loan charge offs to average bank loans for the first nine months of 2011 was 0.3% compared to 0.5% for the year ended December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, the ALLL was 79.7% of nonperforming loans compared with 76.7% as of December 31, 2010. While nonperforming loan levels generally increased during the first six months of 2011, they have shown improvement in the most recent quarter. Past increases have been primarily in credits that our management had already identified as weak. Based on the inherent risk in the loan portfolio, we believe that as of September 30, 2011, the ALLL was adequate; however, there is no assurance losses will not exceed the allowance and any growth in the loan portfolio and the uncertainty of the general economy may require that management continue to evaluate the adequacy of the ALLL and make additional provisions in future periods as deemed necessary. See Note 5 “Loans Receivables and the Allowance for Loan Losses” for additional information related to the allowance for loan losses.
During the first quarter of 2011, as we do each year, we updated the ALLL calculation to reflect current historical net charge-offs. We use a five-year average percentage in the historical charge-off portion of the ALLL calculation. The historical charge-off portion is one of six factors used in establishing our reserve level for each loan type. During the second quarter of 2011 we increased the formula allocation factor for all loans originated in our Davenport, Iowa office by 15 basis points due to local market factors. We also reduced the allocation factor for Multifamily Real Estate loans in the total portfolio to reflect improved market conditions for this type of property. These second quarter adjustments had essentially no net effect on the ALLL sufficiency calculation. There were no other changes during the nine months of 2011. Classified loans are reviewed per the requirements of FASB ASC Topics 310 and 450. All classified loans are reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310.
We currently track the loan to value (LTV) ratio of loans in our portfolio, and those loans in excess of internal and supervisory guidelines are presented to the Bank's Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. At September 30, 2011, there were seven owner occupied 1-4 family loans with a LTV of 100% or greater. In addition, there were 33 home equity loans without credit enhancement that had LTV of 100% or greater. We have the first lien on five of these equity loans and other financial institutions have the first lien on the remaining 28.
We review all impaired and nonperforming loans individually on a quarterly basis to determine their level of impairment due to collateral deficiency or insufficient cash-flow based on a discounted cash-flow analysis. At September 30, 2011, reported troubled debt restructurings were not a material portion of the loan portfolio. We review loans 90+ days past due that are still accruing interest no less than quarterly to determine if there is a strong reason that the credit should not be placed on non-accrual. All commercial and agricultural lenders are required to review their portfolios on a monthly basis and document that either no downgrades are necessary or report credits that they feel warrant a downgrade to Loan Review for inclusion in the allowance for loan loss calculation. Periodic loan file examinations are conducted by Loan Review staff to ensure the accuracy of loan officer credit classifications.
Capital Resources
Total shareholders' equity was 9.60% of total assets as of September 30, 2011 and was 10.02% as of December 31, 2010. Tangible common equity to tangible assets was 9.01% as of September 30, 2011 and 8.37% as of December 31, 2010. Our Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 12.69% as of September 30, 2011 and was 13.37% as of December 31, 2010. Risk-based capital guidelines require the classification of assets and some off-balance-sheet items in terms of credit-risk exposure and the measuring of capital as a percentage of the risk-adjusted asset totals. We believe that, as of September 30, 2011, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject. As of that date, the Bank was “well capitalized” under regulatory prompt corrective action provisions.

On January 18, 2011, 15,000 restricted stock units were granted to certain directors and officers. During the first nine months of 2011, 10,850 shares were issued in connection with the vesting of previously awarded grants of restricted stock units, of which 748 shares were surrendered by grantees to satisfy tax requirements. In addition, 3,488 shares were issued in connection with the exercise of previously issued stock options.
On July 6, 2011, the Company completed the redemption of the 16,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, which had been issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("Treasury") under the Capital Purchase Program, for a total of $16.1 million, consisting of $16.0 million of principal and $0.1 million of accrued and unpaid dividends. On July 27, 2011, the Company also repurchased for $1.0 million, the common stock warrant it had issued to Treasury. The warrant had allowed Treasury to purchase 198,675 shares of MidWestOne common stock at $12.08 per share.
On July 26, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the implementation of a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.0 million of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock through December 31, 2011. Pursuant to the program, we repurchased 45,039 shares of common stock during the third quarter of 2011 for an aggregate cost of $658,000. Thus, as of September 30, 2011, $342,000 in additional repurchases remained authorized under the program.
On October 18, 2011, our Board of Directors amended the Company's share repurchase program by increasing the remaining amount of authorized repurchases to $5.0 million, and extending the expiration of the program to December 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2011 the remaining amount of repurchases had been $342,000, and the program was set to expire December 31, 2011. Pursuant to the program, we may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market, and the method, timing and amounts of repurchase will be solely in the discretion of the Company's management. The repurchase program does not require us to acquire a specific number of shares. Therefore, the amount of shares repurchased pursuant to the program will depend on several factors, including market conditions, capital and liquidity requirements, and alternative uses for cash available.

Liquidity
Liquidity management involves meeting the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers. We conduct liquidity management on both a daily and long-term basis; and adjust our investments in liquid assets based on expected loan demand, projected loan maturities and payments, estimated cash flows from the loan pool participations, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and the objectives of our asset/liability management program. We had liquid assets (cash and cash equivalents) of $41.7 million as of September 30, 2011, compared with $20.5 million as of December 31, 2010. Investment securities classified as available for sale, totaling $491.8 million and $462.0 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, could be sold to meet liquidity needs if necessary. Additionally, our bank subsidiary maintains unsecured lines of credit with several correspondent banks and secured lines with the Federal Reserve Bank discount window and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines that would allow it to borrow funds on a short-term basis, if necessary. Management believes that the Company had sufficient liquidity as of September 30, 2011 to meet the needs of borrowers and depositors.
Our principal sources of funds were proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities, deposits, FHLB borrowings, principal repayments on loan pools, and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan amortization and maturing interest-bearing deposits are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by economic conditions, the general level of interest rates, and competition. We utilize particular sources of funds based on comparative costs and availability. This includes fixed-rate FHLB borrowings that can generally be obtained at a more favorable cost than deposits. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to maintain a steady deposit base but from time to time may decide, as we have done in the past, not to pay rates on deposits as high as our competition.
As of September 30, 2011, we had $15.5 million of long-term debt outstanding. This amount represents indebtedness payable under junior subordinated debentures issued to a subsidiary trust that issued trust preferred securities in a pooled offering. The junior subordinated debentures have a 35-year term. One-half of the balance has a fixed interest rate of 6.48% until December 15, 2012; the other one-half has a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.59%. After December 15, 2012, the interest rate on the entire issuance becomes variable quarterly at the three month LIBOR plus 1.59%.

Inflation
The effects of price changes and inflation can vary substantially for most financial institutions. While management believes that inflation affects the growth of total assets, it is difficult to assess the overall impact. Management believes this to be the case due to the fact that generally neither the timing nor the magnitude of the inflationary changes in the consumer price index (“CPI”) coincides with changes in interest rates. The price of one or more of the components of the CPI may fluctuate considerably and thereby influence the overall CPI without having a corresponding effect on interest rates or upon the cost of those goods and services normally purchased by us. In years of high inflation and high interest rates, intermediate and long-term interest rates tend to increase, thereby adversely impacting the market values of investment securities, mortgage loans and other long-term fixed rate loans held by financial institutions. In addition, higher short-term interest rates caused by inflation tend to increase financial institutions' cost of funds. In other years, the reverse situation may occur.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers, which include commitments to extend credit, commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers at predetermined interest rates, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contracts. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require 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. We evaluate each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. As of September 30, 2011, outstanding commitments to extend credit totaled approximately $216.8 million. Commitments under standby and performance letters of credit outstanding aggregated $4.6 million as of September 30, 2011. We do not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions.
Residential mortgage loans sold to others are predominantly conventional residential first lien mortgages originated under our usual underwriting procedures, and are most often sold on a nonrecourse basis. At September 30, 2011, there were approximately $26.4 million of mandatory commitments with investors to sell not yet originated residential mortgage loans. We do not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
In general, market risk is the risk of change in asset values due to movements in underlying market rates and prices. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and capital arising from movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting MidWestOne as other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of our business activities.
In addition to interest rate risk, the current challenging economic environment, particularly the dislocations in the credit markets that have prevailed since 2008, has made liquidity risk (namely, funding liquidity risk) a more prevalent concern among financial institutions. In general, liquidity risk is the risk of being unable to fund an entity's obligations to creditors (including, in the case of banks, obligations to depositors) as such obligations become due and/or fund its acquisition of assets.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity refers to our ability to fund operations, to meet depositor withdrawals, to provide for our customers' credit needs, and to meet maturing obligations and existing commitments. Our liquidity principally depends on cash flows from operating activities, investment in and maturity of assets, changes in balances of deposits and borrowings, and our ability to borrow funds.
Net cash inflows from operating activities were $15.1 million in the first nine months of 2011, compared with $11.6 million in the first nine months of 2010. Net income, and depreciation, amortization and accretion add backs were the primary contributors for the first nine months of 2011, as was an increase in other liabilities of $2.3 million.
Net cash outflows from investing activities were $25.5 million in the first three quarters of 2011, compared to net cash outflows of $20.2 million in the comparable nine-month period of 2010. In the first nine months of 2011, loans made to customers, net of collections, accounted for net outflows of $20.7 million, and securities transactions accounted for a net outflow of $17.2 million. Cash inflows from loan pool participations were $12.4 million during the first nine months of 2011 compared to a $11.9 million inflow during the same period of 2010.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2011 was $31.6 million. The largest financing cash inflows during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were the $47.3 million net increase in deposits and a $12.0 million net increase in FHLB borrowings. The largest cash outflows from financing activities in the first nine months of 2011 consisted of the $16.0 million redemption of preferred stock and a $8.3 million decrease in repurchase agreements.
To further mitigate liquidity risk, the Bank has several sources of liquidity in place to maximize funding availability and increase the diversification of funding sources. The criteria for evaluating the use of these sources include: volume concentration (percentage of liabilities), cost, volatility, and the fit with the current management plan. These acceptable sources of liquidity include:
Fed Funds Lines
FHLB Borrowings
Brokered Repurchase Agreements
Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window
Fed Funds Lines:
Routine liquidity requirements are met by fluctuations in the Bank's Fed Funds position. The principal function of these funds is to maintain short-term liquidity. Unsecured Fed Funds purchased lines are viewed as a volatile liability and are not used as a long-term funding solution, especially when used to fund long-term assets. Multiple correspondent relationships are preferable and Fed Funds sold exposure to any one customer is continuously monitored. The current Fed Funds purchased limit is 10% of total assets, or the amount of established Fed Funds lines, whichever is smaller. Currently, the Bank has unsecured Fed Fund lines totaling $55 million, which are tested annually to ensure availability.
FHLB Borrowings:
FHLB borrowings provide both a source of liquidity and long-term funding for the Bank. Use of this type of funding is coordinated with both the strategic balance sheet growth projections and the current and future interest rate risk profile of the Bank. Factors that are taken into account when contemplating use of FHLB borrowings are the effective interest rate, the collateral requirements, community investment program credits, and the implications and cost of having to purchase incremental FHLB stock. Currently, the Bank has a $166.7 million of collateral pledged to the FHLB and $139.0 million in outstanding borrowings, leaving $23.6 million available for liquidity needs. These borrowings are secured by various real estate loans (residential, commercial and agricultural).
Brokered Repurchase Agreements:
Brokered repurchase agreements may be established with approved brokerage firms and banks. Repurchase agreements create rollover risk (the risk that a broker will discontinue the relationship due to market factors) and are not used as a long-term funding solution, especially when used to fund long-term assets. Collateral requirements and availability are evaluated and monitored. The current policy limit for brokered repurchase agreements is 10% of total assets. There were no outstanding brokered repurchase agreements at September 30, 2011.
Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window:
The FRB Discount Window is another source of liquidity, particularly during difficult economic times. The Bank has a borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago limited only by the amount of municipal securities pledged against the line. As of September 30, 2011, the Bank owned municipal securities with an approximate market value of $13.1 million pledged.
Interest Rate Risk
The nature of the banking business, which involves paying interest on deposits at varying rates and terms and charging interest on loans at other rates and terms, creates interest rate risk. As a result, net interest margin and earnings and the market value of assets and liabilities are subject to fluctuations arising from the movement of interest rates. We manage several forms of interest rate risk, including asset/liability mismatch, basis risk and prepayment risk. A key management objective is to maintain a risk profile in which variations in net interest income stay within the limits and guidelines of the Bank's Asset/Liability Management Policy.
Like most financial institutions, our net income can be significantly influenced by a variety of external factors, including: overall economic conditions, policies and actions of regulatory authorities, the amounts of and rates at which assets and liabilities reprice, variances in prepayment of loans and securities other than those that are assumed, early withdrawal of deposits, exercise of call options on borrowings or securities, competition, a general rise or decline in interest rates, changes in the slope of the yield-curve, changes in historical relationships between indices (such as LIBOR and prime), and balance sheet growth or contraction.

Our asset and liability committee (ALCO) seeks to manage interest rate risk under a variety of rate environments by structuring our balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions in such a way that changes in interest rates do not have a large negative impact. The risk is monitored and managed within approved policy limits.
We use a third-party service to model and measure our exposure to potential interest rate changes. For various assumed hypothetical changes in market interest rates, numerous other assumptions are made, such as prepayment speeds on loans and securities backed by mortgages, the slope of the Treasury yield curve, the rates and volumes of our deposits, and the rates and volumes of our loans. This analysis measures the estimated change in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. The following table presents our projected changes in net interest income for the various interest rate shock levels at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

As shown above, at September 30, 2011, the effect of an immediate and sustained 200 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease our net interest income by approximately $0.6 million. The effect of an immediate and sustained 200 basis point decrease in rates would increase our net interest income by approximately $1.2 million. In a rising rate environment, our interest-bearing liabilities would reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets, thus reducing net interest income. Conversely, a decrease in interest rates would result in an increase in net interest income as interest-bearing liabilities would decline more rapidly than interest-earning assets. In the current low interest rate environment, model results of a 200 basis point drop in interest rates are of questionable value as many interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets cannot re-price significantly lower than current levels.
Computations of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes were based on numerous assumptions. Actual values may differ from those projections set forth above. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions we could have undertaken in response to changes in interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under supervision and with the participation of certain members of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in SEC Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2011. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer believe that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report with respect to timely communication to them and other members of management responsible for preparing periodic reports and material information required to be disclosed in this report as it relates to the Company and our consolidated subsidiaries.
The effectiveness of our or any system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, and evaluating the controls and procedures, the assumptions used in identifying the likelihood of future events, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. As a result, there can be no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors or fraud or ensure that all material information will be made known to appropriate management in a timely fashion. By their nature, our or any system of disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On October 18, 2011, our Board of Directors amended the Company's share repurchase program by increasing the remaining amount of authorized repurchases to $5.0 million, and extending the expiration of the program to December 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2011 the remaining amount of repurchases had been $342,000, and the program was set to expire December 31, 2011. Pursuant to the program, we may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market, and the method, timing and amounts of repurchase will be solely in the discretion of the Company's management. The repurchase program does not require us to acquire a specific number of shares. Therefore, the amount of shares repurchased pursuant to the program will depend on several factors, including market conditions, capital and liquidity requirements, and alternative uses for cash available.
