Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1.Introductory Note

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 MidWestOneBank, 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., Pella, 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.

On March 14, 2008, we consummated a merger-of-equals transaction with the former MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc., Oskaloosa, Iowa (“Former MidWestOne”) merged with, pursuant to and into ISB Financial Corp. in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 11, 2007.2007 (the “Merger”). Prior to the Merger, we operated under the name “ISB Financial Corp.” As a result of the merger,Merger, Former MidWestOne merged with and into the Company and ceased to exist as a legal entity, and we changed our name from ISB Financial Corp. survived the merger and changed its name to “MidWestMidWestOne Financial Group, Inc.” The surviving organization is referred to All references in this document as the “Company.”

Prior to the merger, ISB Financial Corp’s wholly-owned bank subsidiaries were Iowa State Bank & Trust Co.“Company” and First State Bank. Subsequent“MidWestOne” refer to the merger,surviving organization in the Company added MidWestOne Bank, MidWestOne Investment Services, Inc. and MidWestOne Insurance Services, Inc. as wholly-owned subsidiaries.

5.Stockholders’Shareholders’ Equity and Earnings per Common Share

Preferred Stock: On January 23, 2009, the shareholders of the Company approved a proposal to amend the Company’s articles of incorporation to authorize the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of preferred stock.

On February 6, 2009, the Company issued 16,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, together with a ten-year warrant to acquire 198,675 shares of common stock, to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) under the Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”) for an aggregate purchase price of $16.0 million. We recordedUpon issuance, the fair values of the senior preferred stock at $15.64 million, which representsand the $16.0 million of cash received net ofcommon stock warrants were computed as if the fairsecurities were issued on a stand-alone basis. The value of the warrant.senior preferred stock was estimated based on the net present value of the future senior preferred stock cash flows using a discount rate of 12%. The allocated carrying value of the senior preferred stock and common stock warrants on the date of issuance (based on their relative fair values) were $15.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The preferred stock discount, $358,000, is being accreted on a 5% level yield basis over 60 months. The senior preferred stock has no par value per share and a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, or $16.0 million in the aggregate. Dividends are payable quarterly at the rate of 5% per annum until the fifth anniversary date of the issuance and at a rate of 9% per annum thereafter. The dividends are computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15, and November 15 of each year.

The senior preferred stock is non-voting, other than class voting rights on any authorization or issuance of shares ranking senior to the senior preferred stock, any amendment to the rights of senior preferred stock, or any merger, exchange, or similar transaction that would adversely affect the rights of the senior preferred stock. If dividends are not paid in full for six dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, the Treasury will have the right to elect two directors to the Company’s Board. The right to elect directors would end when full dividends have been paid for four consecutive dividend periods.

Effective February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) eliminated the restrictions on a CPP participant’s ability to repay the Treasury’s investment until the third anniversary of the date of the Treasury’s investment. Prior to ARRA, CPP participants were prohibited from redeeming the Treasury’s senior preferred stock except with the proceeds of an offering of qualifying Tier 1 capital. ARRA now allows CPP participants, such as the Company, the option to repay the Treasury’s investment under the CPP at any time without regard to whether the Company has raised new capital, subject to consultation with the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). If the Company were to repay the Treasury’s investment, it would be permitted to redeem the warrant issued to Treasury for fair market value.

The CPP requires that the Company be subject to specified standards for executive compensation and corporate governance as long as any obligation arising from financial assistance provided under the statute remains outstanding. The U.S. Congress and the Treasury may create additional provisions that could become retroactively applicable to the senior preferred stock.

Common Stock:Stock: On January 23, 2009, the shareholders of the Company approved a proposal to amend the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 10,000,000 to 15,000,000.

Common Stock Warrant: In connection with the CPP described above, a warrant exercisable for 198,675 shares of Company common stock was issued to the Treasury. The warrant entitles the Treasury to purchase 198,675 shares of common stock at $12.08 per share at any time on or before February 6, 2019. If the Company issues common stock, or another security that qualifies as Tier 1 capital, for aggregate gross proceeds of at least $16.0 million prior to December 31, 2009, the

number of common shares underlying the warrant will be reduced by one-half to 99,338 shares. As noted above, under ARRA, if the Company repays the Treasury’s investment in full, the Company would be permitted to redeem the warrant issued to Treasury at its then current fair market value. If the warrant is not redeemed at such time, however, it will remain outstanding and transferable by the Treasury.

As holder of the common stock warrant, the Treasury is not entitled to vote, to receive dividends, or to exercise any other rights of common shareholders for any purpose until such warrants have been duly exercised. The Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of common stock issued upon exercise. The Company has filed and will maintain at all times during the period the senior preferred stock is outstanding and during the period the warrant is exercisable, a “shelf” registration statement relating to the issuance of common shares underlying the warrant for the benefit of the warrant holder.

The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Binomial Option Pricing Model. The inputs to the model are consistent with those utilized by the companyCompany for a 10-year employee stock option.

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,March 31, 2010 and 2009 was 8,607,853 and 2008 was 8,605,312 and 8,646,328, respectively. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was 8,604,531 and 7,707,3018,603,055, 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 8,605,7328,611,511 and 8,646,3288,603,548 for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2010 and 2009, and 2008, respectively, and 8,604,557 and 7,707,301 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company’s assessment of other than temporaryother-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. As of April 1, 2009 the Company adopted the amended provisions of FASB ASC Topic 320. This changed the accounting for other than temporaryother-than-temporary impairments of debt securities and separates the impairment into credit-related and other factors. In accordance with the new guidance, the noncredit-related portion of other-than-temporaryother than temporary impairment losses recognized in prior year earnings was reclassified as a cumulative effect adjustment that increased retained earnings and

decreased accumulated other comprehensive income at the beginning of the quarter ended June 30, 2009. In 2008, $6.2 million in other-than-temporaryother than temporary impairment charges were recognized, of which $5.2 million related to noncredit-related impairment on debt securities. Therefore, the cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings totaled $5.2 million, or $3.3 million net of tax.

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 predominantly 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 municipal obligations was primarily related to an overall widening of market spreads for many types of fixed income products duringsince 2008, and 2009, reflecting, among other things, reduced liquidity and the downgrades on the underlying credit default insurance providers. At September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, approximately 74%71% of the municipal obligations 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. 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, as well as 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, 2009March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2008.2009.

At September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, the Company owned six collateralized debt obligations backed by pools of trust preferred securities with an original cost basis of $9.75 million. The book value of these securities as of this date totaled $2.1 million after other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges of $6.2 million during 2008, and $1.3 million during the third quarter of 2009. 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. 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, as the banking climate has eroded during 2008 and 2009,deteriorated over the past several years, the securities have experienced cash flow problems and a pre-tax charge to earningsOTTI charges of $6.2 million was recorded induring 2008, $1.6 million during 2009, and $0.2 million during the fourthfirst quarter of 2008. Due to continued market deterioration in2010. The book value of these securities an additional pre-tax charge to earningsas of $1.3 million was recordedthis date totaled $1.8 million. All of the Company’s trust preferred collateralized debt obligations are in the third quarter of 2009.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,” which the Company adopted as of April 1, 2009. 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 other than temporary impairment.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. TheAs part of its analysis of the collateralized debt obligations, the Company also reviewedsubjects the securities to a stress testscenario which involves a level of these securities to determine the additional deferrals or defaults in the collateral pool in excess of what the Company believes is likely, before the payments on the individual securities are negatively impacted.likely.

As of September 30, 2009 the Company also owns $1.9 million of equity securities in banks and financial service-related companies. An impairment charge of $69,000 was recorded during the third quarter of 2009, as the affected equity securities were deemed impaired due to their depressed market price, in relation to the Company’s original purchase price.

At September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, the analysis of fourfive 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. However, the Company determined that a portion of the unrealized loss on the remaining two investmentsinvestment in $2.75$1.5 million of pooled trust preferred securities was other than temporary.other-than-temporary. The amount of actual and projected deferrals and/or defaults by the financial institutions underlying these pooled trust preferred securities increased significantly since the beginning of 2009.2010. The increase in nonperforming collateral resulted in an other than temporaryother-than-temporaryother-than-temporary impairment of these two securities.this security. The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 320 in determining the amount of the other than temporary impairmentOTTI recorded to earnings. The Company performed a discounted cash flow analysis, using the factors noted above, to determine the amount of the other than temporary impairmentOTTI that was applicable to either credit losses or other factors. The amount associated with credit losses, $1.3 million,$189,000, was then realized through an impairment loss charged to earnings for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2009.March 31, 2010.

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 continue to deteriorate and the liquidity of these securities remains low. As a result, there is a risk that additional other than temporaryother-than-temporary impairments may occur in the future and any such amounts could be material to the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings.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, 2009March 31, 2010 and December 31, 20082009 was $9.4$8.9 million and $9.1$9.0 million, respectively. 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 for regulatory purposes and borrowing availability.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. Redemption of this investment is at the option of the FHLB.

7.Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the amended provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”for non-financial assets and liabilities. These include foreclosed real estate, long-lived assets and other intangibles, which are recorded at fair value only upon impairment. FASB ASC Topic 820 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 in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at 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 were applied to all of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value effective January 1, 2008.

Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Securities Available for SaleThe Company’s investment securities classified as available-for-saleavailable 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. 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.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.basis

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 dues 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.

Loans Held for Sale – Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, the Company classifies loans held for sale subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 2.

Federal Home Loan Bank StockStock held in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (“FHLB”), which is held for regulatory purposes, is carried in other assets. This investment generally has restrictions on the sale and/or liquidation of stock and the carrying value is approximately equal to fair value. Fair value measurements for this security are classified as Level 3 because of its undeliverable nature and related credit risk. The carrying value of the Company’s FHLB stock was $9.4 million at September 30, 2009.

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, the Company classifies loans held for sale subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 2.

The Company does not value its loan portfolio at fair value; however, adjustments are recorded on certain loans to reflect the impaired value on the underlying collateral. Collateral values are generally reviewed on a loan-by-loan basis through independent appraisals. Appraised values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business. Because many of these inputs are unobservable, the valuations are classified as Level 3. The carrying value of the Company’s impaired loans was $14.5 million at September 30, 2009.

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 principalcarrying amount of the loan outstanding at the time of acquisition, plus any acquisition costs, or the estimated fair value of the property, less disposal costs. The Company considers third party appraisals as well as independent fair value assessments from realtors 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.

TheCash and due from banks, noninterest-bearing demand deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and accrued interest are instruments with carrying amountvalues that approximate fair value.

Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement 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.

Loan pool participations carrying values represent the discounted price paid by us to acquire our participation interests in the various loan pools purchased, which approximate fair value.

Deposit liabilities are carried at historical cost. The fair value of checking,demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market accountsaccount deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturityfixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows 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 FHLB advances and long-term debt isthese items are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The fair value of the Company’s off-balance sheet instruments is nominal.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.Allowance for Loan Losses and Nonperforming Assets

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries of loans previously charged-off, if any, are credited to the allowance when realized. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance for loan losses related to nonperforming loans at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $1,230,000 and $727,000, respectively. Nonperforming loans of $3.7 million and $1.2 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, were not subject to a related allowance for credit losses because the net realizable value of loan collateral, guarantees and other factors exceed the loan carrying value.

 

9.Effect of New Financial Accounting Standards

In December 2007, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to require significant changes in the accounting and reporting for business acquisitions and the reporting of a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary. Among the many changes, an acquirer will record 100% of all assets and liabilities at fair value at the acquisition date with changes possibly recognized in earnings, and acquisition related costs will be expensed rather than capitalized. The changes established new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary. Key changes under the standard are that noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary will be reported as part of equity, losses allocated to a noncontrolling interest can result in a deficit balance, and changes in ownership interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions and upon a loss of control, gain or loss is recognized and the remaining interest is remeasured at fair value on the date control is lost. The updates apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company adopted these statements on January 1, 2009, which were subsequently codified in ASC Topic 805“Business Combinations” and ASC Topic 810“Consolidation”. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to require companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This change is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009, which was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 815“Derivatives and Hedging”. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued an accounting standard which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The objective of the change is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows. This change is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009, which was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 350,“Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”.The adoption of this accounting standard did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which provided guidance on estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and in identifying transactions that are not orderly. In such instances, the accounting standard provides that management may determine that further analysis of the transactions or quoted prices is required, and a significant adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with GAAP. The Company adopted this accounting standard, which was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 820,“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” on April 1, 2009, and applied it to its collateralized debt obligations backed by pools of trust preferred securities.

In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard related to disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies that were previously only required to be disclosed in annual financial statements. The Company adopted this accounting standard in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended June 30, 2009. As this accounting standard amended only the disclosure requirements about the fair value of financial instruments in interim periods, the adoption had no impact on the Company’s statements of income and condition. See Note 8 for the disclosures required under this accounting standard, which was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 825,“Financial Instruments.”

In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which amended other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) guidance in GAAP for debt securities by requiring a write-down when fair value is below amortized cost in circumstances where: (1) an entity has the intent to sell a security; (2) it is more likely than not that an entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) an entity does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. If an entity intends to sell a security or if it is more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery, an OTTI write-down is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. If an entity does not intend to sell the security or it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI write-down is separated into an amount representing credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and an amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. This accounting standard does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to OTTI write-downs of equity securities. This accounting standard also extends disclosure requirements related to debt and equity securities to interim reporting periods. The Company adopted this position effective April 1, 2009 and applied the guidance to its other than temporary impairment analysis during the second quarter of 2009, including the collateralized debt obligations backed by pools of trust preferred securities. In accordance with the new guidance, the $5.2 million noncredit related portion of the $6.2 million other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in 2008 earnings was reclassified as a cumulative effect adjustment that increased retained earnings and decreased accumulated other comprehensive income at the beginning of the quarter ended June 30, 2009. See Note 7 for the disclosures required under this accounting standard, which was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 320,“Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.”

In May 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires entities to disclose the date through which it has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. This change is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and was effective for the Company as of June 30, 2009. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 855“Subsequent Events”, and the adoption of the amendment did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which amendsamended current GAAP related to the accounting for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities, including

the removal of the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from GAAP. This new accounting standard also clarifiesclarified that a transferor must evaluate whether it has maintained effective control of a financial asset by considering its continuing direct or indirect involvement with the transferred financial asset. This accounting standard iswas effective for financial asset transfers occurring after December 31, 2009. The adoption of this accounting standard isdid not anticipated to have anya material impact on the Company’s consolidatedour financial statements.condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which will requirerequires a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for consolidation purposes. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the enterprise that has: (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The amendments arewere effective for the Company as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009January 1, 2010 and for all interim reporting periods after that and isit did not anticipated to have anya material impacteffect on the Company’sits consolidated financial statements.

In JuneDecember 2009, the FASB issued an accountingFASB ASU 2009-16,Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. The guidance enhances information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. This standard which established the Codification to become the single source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities, with the exception of guidance issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its staff. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but rather is expected to simplify accounting research by reorganizing current GAAP into approximately 90 accounting topics. The Company adopted this accounting standard in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statementseffective for the period ended September 30, 2009.Company as of January 1, 2010 with adoption applied prospectively for transfers that occur on or after that date. The adoption of this accounting standard which was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” had nodid not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidatedour financial statements.condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

In August 2009,January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which is codified into ASC Topic 820,“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” This Update provides amendments to Topic 820-10, “FASB ASU 2010-06,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall(Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which clarifies and expands disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Disclosures are required for significant transfers between levels in the fair value measurement of liabilities. This Update provides clarification thathierarchy. Activity in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measureLevel 3 fair value usingmeasurements is to be presented on a valuation techniquegross, rather than net, basis. The update clarifies how the appropriate level of disaggregation should be determined and emphasizes that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820. The amendments in this Update also clarify that when estimating theinformation sufficient to permit reconciliation between fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating tomeasurements and line items on the existence of a restriction that prevents transfer of the liability.financial statements should be provided. The amendments in this Update also clarify that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance provided in this Updateupdate is effective for the firstinterim and annual reporting period (including interim periods)periods beginning after issuance.December 15, 2009 except for the expanded disclosures related to activity in Level 3 fair value measurements which are effective one year later. The adoption of this UpdateCompany adopted ASU 2010-06 for the period beginning January 1, 2010 and it did not have a significant impact to the Company’smaterial effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

10.Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates that are particularly sensitive to change are the allowance for loan losses and the fair value of available for sale securities.

11.Subsequent Events

Management evaluated subsequent events through November 6, 2009, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Events or transactions occurring after September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 but prior to November 6, 2009the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued that provided additional evidence about conditions that existed at September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2009.March 31, 2010. Events or transactions that provided evidence about conditions that did not exist at September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 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, 2009.March  31, 2010.

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

OVERVIEW

On March 14, 2008,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, Hudson, 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 Company (which was at such time named ISB Financial Corp.) consummated its mergerBank administers estates, personal trusts, conservatorships, pension and profit-sharing accounts along with providing other 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 Former MidWestOne. Theinfrastructure 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 fordepend primarily on our net interest income, which is the quarter ended September 30, 2008 includesdifference between the resultsinterest 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 the combined Company for the entire period. The resultsloan losses and income tax expense. Results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 include the Company’s operations for such nine-month periodare also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, as well as the operationschanges in market interest rates, government policies and actions of Former MidWestOne for the period beginning March 15, 2008 through September 30, 2008. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, however, include the operations of the combined Company for the entire period. Accordingly, the comparison of the Company’s results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 often shows significant changes, many of which are largely attributable to the merger and the resulting larger entity.regulatory authorities.

The comparison of the Company’s financial condition as of September 30, 2009 to its financial condition at December 31, 2008 is not similarly impacted by the merger because the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 includes information for both the Company and Former MidWestOne as a combined entity.

We have traditionally disclosed certain non-GAAP ratios to evaluate and measure our financial condition, including our return on average tangible common equity. 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 computed by subtracting totalthe difference between interest income and fees earned on earning assets and interest expense from totalincurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate levels and volume fluctuations within earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income. Fluctuations in net interest

Certain assets with tax favorable treatment are evaluated on a tax-equivalent basis. Tax-equivalent basis assumes a federal income can result from changestax rate of 34%. Tax favorable assets generally have lower contractual pre-tax 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 volumestax favorable effects of these assets, and liabilities as well as changes in interest rates. The Company’sthe 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, 2009 remained flat at $10.9March 31, 2010 declined $0.2 million decreasing only $22,000to $11.8 million compared to $12.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. TotalMarch 31, 2009. Our total interest income of $17.8 million was $1.4$1.1 million lower in the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 compared with the same period in 2008.2009. Most of the decrease in interest income was due to reduced interest on loans and loan pool participations. The decrease in interest income was largely offset by reduced interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds.deposits. Total interest expense for the thirdfirst quarter of 2009 2010

decreased $1.4$0.9 million, or 16.3%12.5%, compared with the same period in 20082009 due primarily to lower interest rates in 2009. The Company’s2010. Our net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 decreased to 3.13%3.50% compared with 3.26%3.60% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2008.2009. 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. The Company’sOur overall yield on earning assets declined to 5.05%5.22% for the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 from 5.67%5.58% for the thirdfirst quarter of 2008.2009.

The following table sets forth an analysis of volume and rate changes in interest income and interest expense on the Company’sour 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. As the table below shows, the small increase in net interest income was nearly equally split between volume and rate components.

Average loans were $13.9$55.1 million, or 1.4%5.4%, lower in the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 compared with 2008.2009. The decrease in average loan volume was partially attributable to the volume of refinancing activity, which resulted in a slowing inlarge amount of adjustable rate residential real estate lending refinance activity.loans that were held in our portfolio being refinanced into fixed-rate loans that are sold in the secondary market rather than held in our portfolio. The yield on the Company’sour 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 the Company’sour portfolio. The average rate on loans remained virtually unchanged, increasingdecreased slightly from 5.92%6.00% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20082009 to 5.94%5.83% in thirdfirst quarter of 2009.2010.

Interest and discount income on loan pool participations was $28,000$0.9 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2010 compared with $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared with $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2008, a decrease of $1.2$0.1 million. Former MidWestOneMidWestOne had engaged in this business since 1988 and the Companywe continued the business following the merger. These loan pool participations are pools of performing, sub-performing 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. The Company investsWe invest in the pools that are purchased by the servicer from nonaffiliated banking organizations and from the FDIC acting as receiver of failed banks and savings associations. The Company hasWe have very minimal exposure in the loan pools to consumer real estate, subprime credit or construction and real estate development loans. Currently, the Company holds $88.7we hold $83.7 million in loan pool participations.

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 1.39%4.98% for the thirdfirst quarter of 2009,2010, down from 8.41%5.48% for the 2008 calendar year.same period of 2009. The net yield was lower in the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 than for the thirdfirst quarter of 20082009 primarily due to elevated charge-off levels in the portfolio as well as slowed collections, as borrowers saw their ability to refinance debt decline due to the continued tightness in the credit markets.

The income and yield on loan pool participations may vary in future periods due to the volume and accretable yield on loan pools purchased.

Interest income on investment securities on a tax-equivalent basis increased $182,000, or 4.9%,totaled $3.7 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2010 compared with $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared with the third quarteran increase of 2008$280,000, or 8.1%, mainly due to a higher investment balance, and despite a lower yield on investments in 2009. Interest income on investment securities totaled $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared with $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2008.2010. The average balance of investments in the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 was $378.8$378.6 million compared with $291.4$291.0 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2008.2009. The tax-equivalent yield on the Company’sour investment portfolio in the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 decreased to 4.06%4.01% from 5.04%4.83% in the comparable period of 20082009 reflecting reinvestment of maturing securities and purchases of new securities at lower market interest rates.

Interest expense on deposits was $1.2$1.1 million, or 17.8%18.8%, lower in the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 compared with the same period in 20082009 mainly due to the decrease in interest rates during 2009. The weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 2.01%1.80% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 compared with 2.68%2.31% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2008.2009. This decline reflects the overall reduction in market interest rates on deposits throughout the markets in which we operate. Average interest-bearing deposits for the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 were $88.4$40.2 million, or 4.0%, greater compared with the same period in 2008.2009.

Interest expense on borrowed funds was $235,000 lower$206,000 higher in the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 compared with the same period in 2008.2009.

Average borrowed funds for the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 were $27.6$41.1 million lower compared to the same period in 2008.2009. The majority of the difference was due to a reduction in the level of federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, and FHLB advances.borrowings. Elimination of the purchase accounting benefit on FHLB advancesborrowings related to the March 2008 merger in the first quarter of 2009 led to the weighted average rate on borrowed funds increasing marginally to 3.51% in3.15% for the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 compared with 3.50% in2.21% for the thirdfirst quarter of 2008.2009.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Companyprovision 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 $2.1$1.5 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 compared with an $838,000a $2.4 million provision in the thirdfirst quarter of 2008.2009. Net loans charged off in the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 totaled $2.1$0.9 million compared with net loans charged off of $416,000$0.4 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2008.2009. The increasedecrease in the provision in the thirdfirst quarter of 20092010 compared with the same period in 20082009 reflects the higher level of nonperforming loans, increased charge-offs, and general concerns with the overall economic environment. Management determinesour belief that existing identified potential problem credits have been adequately reserved for. We continue to increase our loan loss allowance by maintaining a provision for loan losses that is greater than out net charge-off activity. We determine an appropriate provision based on itsour 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. Management believesWe believe that the allowance for loan losses was adequate based on the inherent risk in the portfolio as of September 30, 2009;March 31, 2010; 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 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 results fromdecreased $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period for 2009. The decrease in 2010 is largely due to the $0.3 million decline in mortgage origination and servicing fees between the two comparative periods. Other than temporary impairment charges and fees collectedon investment securities of $0.2 million was more than offset by the Company from its customers for various services performed, miscellaneous other income, and gains fromof the sale of investment securities held in the available for sale category.

Thisat March 31, 2009. The decrease reflects the other than temporary impairment charge mentioned above. The impairment loss was partially offset by a gain on sales of securities available for sale which totaled $482,000 in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to $9,000 in the same period of 2008, and significantly higher mortgage origination fees which were $613,000 for the third quarter of 2009 as compared to $187,000 for the third quarter of 2008, an increase of $426,000, or 227.8%. The increase in mortgage origination fees was attributable to lower refinancing volume of single family residential loans, as the bulk of creditworthy borrowers had already taken advantage of the historically low interest rate environment.rates before the start of 2010. Trust and investment fees increased $0.1 million, or 11.5%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $1.1 million for the same period of 2009. The sale of an unused bank office building in Oskaloosa during the first quarter of 2010 resulted in

a net loss of $77,000. Management’s strategic goal is for noninterest income to constitute 30% of total revenues (net interest income plus noninterest expense) over time. As of March 31, 2010 noninterest income comprised 22.0% of total revenues, compared to 22.8% as of March 31, 2009.

The Company’s net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, increased $5.3 million, or 18.5%,by an annualized three basis points beginning in 2011. The FDIC began to $33.7 million from $28.5 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Total interest income was $4.5 million greater in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008. Mostoffset prepaid assessments on March 31, 2010, representing payment of the increase in interest income was due to increased interest and fees on loans, which was mainly attributable to increased volumes resulting from the merger.

Any prepaid assessment not exhausted after collection of the amount due on June 30, 2009, decreased $742,000, or 3.3%, compared with the same period in 2008 due primarily2013, will be returned to the overall decline in market interest rates between the periods. The Company’s net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, decreased to 3.27% compared with 3.31% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. 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. The Company’s overall yield on earning assets declined to 5.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from 5.83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, to 2.33% from 2.49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

The following tables present a comparison of the average balance of earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, interest income and expense, and average yields and costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. Interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans is reported on a fully tax-equivalent basis assuming a 34% tax rate. Dividing annualized income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities results in average yields or costs.

The following table sets forth an analysis of volume and rate changes in interest income and interest expense on the Company’s 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. As the table below shows, the increase in net interest income was predominantly volume related.

Interest income and fees on loans on a tax-equivalent basis increased $6.4 million, or 16.7%, over the first nine months of 2009, compared to the same period of 2008. Average loans were $170.5 million, or 20.6%, higher over the first nine months of 2009 compared with 2008, which contributed to the growth in interest income. The increase in average loan volume was primarily attributable to the merger. The yield on the Company’s 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 the Company’s portfolio. The average rate on loans over the first nine months of 2009 was 5.97%, decreasing from 6.16% from the same period of 2008.

Interest and discount income on loan pool participations was $1.7 million for the first nine months of 2009 compared with $3.1 million for the same period of 2008. The net yield was lower in the first three quarters of 2009 than for 2008 primarily due to the increased average balance attributable to the merger and elevated charge-off levels in the portfolio as well as slowed collections, as borrowers saw their ability to refinance debt decline due to the continued tightness in the credit markets.

Interest income on investment securities on a tax-equivalent basis increased $611,000, or 5.9%, in the first three quarters of 2009 compared with the same period of 2008 mainly due to higher volume of securities in the portfolio as a result of the merger, offset in part by a lower yield in 2009. Interest income on investment securities totaled $11.0 million in the first nine months of 2009 compared with $10.4 million for the same period of 2008. The average balance for the first nine months of 2009 was $333.6 million versus $286.4 million for the same period in 2008. The tax-equivalent yield for the first nine months of 2009 was 4.42%, a decrease from 4.86% in the comparable period of 2008, reflecting reinvestment of maturing securities and purchases of new securities at lower market interest rates.

Interest expense on deposits was $541,000, or 3.1%, lower in the first nine months of 2009 compared with the same period in 2008 mainly due to the overall reduction in market interest rates on deposits throughout the markets in which we operate. The weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 2.17% in the first three quarters of 2009 compared with 2.36% in the first three quarters of 2008. Average interest-bearing deposits for the first nine months of 2009 were $52.4 million greater compared with the same period in 2008 largely as a result of the merger.

Interest expense on borrowed funds was $201,000 lower in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the same period in 2008. Interest on borrowed funds totaled $5.0 million for the first nine months of 2009. Average borrowed funds for the first three quarters of 2009 were $10.0 million lower compared to the same period in 2008. The majority of the difference was due to interest paid on Federal Funds advances. Elimination of the purchase accounting benefit on FHLB advances related to the March 2008 merger in the first quarter of 2009 led to the weighted average rate on borrowed funds increasing marginally to 3.09% for the first three quarters of 2009 compared with 3.07% in the first three quarters of 2008.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $6.0 million for the first nine months of 2009 compared with a $1.7 million provision for the same period of 2008. Net loans charged off in the first three quarters of 2009 totaled $3.4 million compared with net loans charged off of $1.6 million in the first three quarters of 2008. The increase in the provision in the first nine months of 2009 compared with the same period in 2008 reflects the higher level of nonperforming loans, increased charge-offs, and general concerns with the overall economic environment. Management determines an appropriate provision based on its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in relationship to a continuing review of problem loans, the current economic conditions, actual loss experience and industry trends. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate based on the inherent risk in the portfolio as of September 30, 2009; 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.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income results from the charges and fees collected by the Company from its customers for various services performed, miscellaneous other income, and gains from the sale of investment securities held in the available for sale category. Total noninterest income was $180,000, or 2.0%, greater in the first three quarters of 2009 compared with the same period in 2008. The majority of the change between the periods is due to the merger, although mortgage origination fees increased by $1.4 million, or 174.7%, to $2.2 million through September 30, 2009 compared with $817,000 through September 30, 2008. Many of the loans originated during the first three quarters of 2009 were sold in the secondary market with servicing rights retained. This increase was partially offset by an increase of $1.4 million, or 253.1%, to $2.0 million from $567,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively, in other than temporary impairment losses on certain investment securities. Management’s strategic goal is for noninterest income to constitute 30% of total revenues over time.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $34.4 million, an increase of $8.0 million over the same period for 2008, primarily due to the merger, which led to significant increases in all noninterest expense categories. Salaries and benefits increased from $14.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, to $17.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, while occupancy and equipment expenses increased from $4.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, to $5.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. In addition to the proportionate increases attributable to the merger, the Company experienced a disproportionate increase in the FDIC expected assessment fee which increased from $334,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, to $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Professional fees increased from $927,000 to $2.6 million due to the transition of the Company from a privately-held company to an SEC-registered and NASDAQ listed company in connection with the merger.

Income Tax Expense

The Company realized an income tax benefit of $443,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with a $2.3 million income tax expense for the same period in 2008. The effective income tax rates as a percentage of income before taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were - -18.9% and 24.8%, respectively.

The effective tax rate varies from the statutory rate due to state taxes, the result of tax-exempt income on tax-exempt bonds, and the recognition of a tax benefit of approximately $330,000 on certain merger related expenses. Combined, these items drove the effective tax rate lower than for the same period in 2008.institution.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

TotalOur total assets of the Company increased slightly to $1.53$1.54 billion as of September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 from $1.51$1.53 billion on December 31, 2008.2009. This modest increasegrowth resulted primarily from increased interest-bearing deposits in assets resulted frombanks and investment in securities, somewhat offset by a decrease in loans due to refinancing activity of portfolio loans, mostly consisting of single family residential loans that are then sold on the secondary market. The asset growth was funded by an increase in investment securities partially offset by reductions in loans and loan pool participations. The increase was partially funded by the receipt of a $16.0 million investment from the Treasury pursuant to the CPP, which closed on February 6, 2009.deposits. Total deposits as of September 30, 2009at March 31, 2010 were $1.15$1.19 billion compared with $1.13$1.18 billion as ofat December 31, 2008, an increase of $24.62009, up $13.4 million, or 1.1%, primarily due to increased consumer deposits as a result of continued sales efforts by our associates.and public fund deposits.

Investment Securities

Investment securities available for sale totaled $354.7$375.2 million as of September 30, 2009.March 31, 2010. This was an increase of $82.3$12.3 million, or 3.4%, from December 31, 2008.2009. The increase was primarily due to net purchases of $70.0$12.0 million during the period. Investment securities classified as held to maturity decreased to $7.5$6.2 million as of September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 as a result of security maturities. The investment portfolio consists mainly of U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and obligations of states and political subdivisions.

As of September 30, 2009, the CompanyMarch 31, 2010, we owned $2.1$1.8 million of collateralized debt obligations 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. These debt securities had an original purchase cost of approximately $9.7 million and were rated investment grade securities when purchased between March 2006 and December 2007. However, as the banking climate has deteriorated during 2008 and 2009, these debt securities have experienced cashflow problems, resulting in a significant decline in estimated market value and little to no pricing information available. Accordingly, at December 31, 2008, the Company performed an analysis that determined that $6.2 million of the original value was other than temporarily impaired, and the resulting charge was taken in the fourth quarter of 2008. In accordance with the Company’s April 1, 2009 adoption of the changes to FASB ASC Topic 320-10-65, the $5.2 million noncredit related portion of other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in 2008 earnings ($3.3 million net of tax adjustments) was reclassified as a cumulative effect adjustment that increased retained earnings and decreased accumulated other comprehensive income at the beginning of the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Due to continued credit deterioration in these securities, an additional pre-tax charge to earnings of $1.3 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2009. Management continuesWe continue to monitor the values of these debt securities for purposes of determining other than temporaryother-than-temporary impairment in future periods given the instability in the financial markets and continuescontinue to obtain updated cash flow analysis as required.

The Company hasWe have minimal direct exposure to subprime mortgages in itsour loan portfolio. The Company’sOur 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 originated by the Companywe originate and soldsell on the secondary market are typically underwritten according to the guidelines of secondary market investors. These mortgages are sold on a non-recourse basis.

Loan Pool Participations

As of September 30, 2009, the CompanyMarch 31, 2010, we had loan pool participations, net, totaling $88.7$81.5 million, down from $92.9$83.1 million at December 31, 2008.2009. Loan pools are participation interests in performing, sub-performing and nonperforming loans that have been purchased from various non-affiliated banking organizations. Former MidWestOneMidWestOne had engaged in this activity since 1988, and the Companywe continued this line of business following the merger. Management hasWe have identified a target rangemaximum for loan pool participation balances of between $90.0 million andnot more than $110.0 million, and continues to be active in bidding on new pools as they become available.million. The most recently purchased pools have performed well and management believeswe believe the business still has merit over the long term. The loan pool investment balancebalances shown as an asset on the Company’s Statement of Condition representsour Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the discounted purchase cost of the loan pool participations. The CompanyWe acquired oneno new loan pool participationparticipations during the thirdfirst quarter of 2009 in the amount of $6.2 million.2010. As of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, the categories of loans by collateral type in the loan pools were commercial real estate - 55%54%, commercial loans - 8%11%, agricultural and agricultural real estate – 11%10%, single-family residential real estate - 12%11% and other loans - 14%. The Company hasWe have minimal exposure in the loan pools to consumer real estate subprime credit or to construction and real estate development loans.

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 March 31, 2010, such cost basis was $83.2 million, while the contractual outstanding principal amount of the underlying loans as of such date was approximately $177.3 million. 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 the Company’sour balance sheet. As of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, loans in the southeast region of the United States represented approximately 39%40% of the total. The northeast was the next largest area with 33%32%, the central region with 19%, the southwest region with 8% and northwest represented a minimal amount of the portfolio at 1%.

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 46%44% contractually past-due includes loans in litigation and foreclosed property. As of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, loans in litigation totaled approximately $16.0$17.6 million, while foreclosed property was approximately $9.3$11.4 million.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company’sOur allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 was $13.5$14.6 million, which was 1.39%1.52% of total bank loans (excluding loan pools) as of that date. This compares with an allowance for loan losses of $11.0$14.0 million as of December 31, 2008,2009, which was 1.08%1.44% of total bank loans. Gross charge-offs for the first three quartersquarter of 20092010 totaled $3.6$1.1 million, while recoveries of previously charged-off loans totaled $165,000.$0.2 million. Annualized net loan charge offs to average bank loans as of September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 was 0.47%0.38% compared to 0.50%0.48% for the year ended December 31, 2008.2009. As of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, the allowance for loan losses was 80.6%89.1% of nonperforming bank loans compared with 72.1%100.6% as of December 31, 2008.2009. While nonperforming loan levels increased during the first quarter, the increase has been primarily in credits that our management had already identified as weak and for which we believe adequate provisions already had been made. Based on the inherent risk in the loan portfolio, management believeswe believe that as of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, the allowance for loan losses 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 allowance for loan losses and make additional provisions in future periods as deemed necessary.

The preferred stock has no par value per share and a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, or $16.0 million in the aggregate. The senior preferred stock is non-voting, other than class voting rights on any authorization or issuance of shares ranking senior to the senior preferred stock, any amendment to the rights of senior preferred stock, or any merger, exchange, or similar transaction that would adversely affect the rights of the senior preferred stock. If dividends are not paid in full for six dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, the U.S. Treasury will have the right to elect two directors to the Company’s Board. The right to elect directors would end when full dividends have been paid for four consecutive dividend periods.

In connection with the CPP, the Company alsoaddition, on February 6, 2009, we issued to the U.S. Treasury a warrant exercisable for 198,675 shares of Company common stock. The warrant entitles the U.S. Treasury to purchase 198,675 shares of our common stock at a strike price of $12.08 per share at any time on or before February 6, 2019. If the Company issues common stock, or another security that qualifies as Tier 1 capital, in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of at least $16.0 million or more prior to December 31, 2009, the number of common shares underlying the warrant will be reduced by one-half to 99,338 shares. If the Company repayswe repay the U.S. Treasury’s investment in full, the Companywe would be permitted to redeem the warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury at its then current fair market value. If the warrant is not redeemed at such time, however, it will remain outstanding and transferable by the U.S. Treasury. All of the capital from Treasury was treated as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes.

On January 22, 2009, options for 26,000 shares were granted to certain directors and officers while 9,90021, 2010, 33,000 restricted stock units were also granted to certain directors and officers. During the thirdfirst quarter of 2009, 1312010, 2,546 shares were issued in connection with the vesting of previously awarded grants of restricted stock units. units, of which 20 shares were surrendered by a grantee to satisfy tax requirements. In addition, 1,945 shares were issued in connection with the exercise of previously issued stock options.

On OctoberFebruary 11, 2010, we filed a universal shelf-registration statement registering for future sale up to $25.0 million of securities from time to time in one or more offerings. Given the growth opportunities and the difficult credit market, we believe that it is prudent to have all options available to raise additional capital. On April 22, 2009,2010, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend for the fourthsecond quarter of 20092010 of $0.05 per common share, which is consistent with the dividend per common share paid in the thirdfirst quarter of 2009.2010.

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves meeting the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers. The Company conductsWe conduct liquidity management on both a daily and long-term basis; and it adjusts itsadjust 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 its asset/liability management program. The CompanyWe had liquid assets (cash and cash equivalents) of $27.3$42.0 million as of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, compared with $32.9$27.6 million as of December 31, 2008.2009. Investment securities classified as available for sale, totaling $354.7$375.2 million and $272.4$362.9 million as of September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2008,2009, respectively, could be sold to meet liquidity needs if necessary. Additionally, theour 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 federal funds on a short-term basis, if necessary. Management believes that the Company had sufficient liquidity as of September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 to meet the needs of borrowers and depositors.

The Company’sOur principal sources of funds were deposits, FHLB advances,borrowings, principal repayments on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities, 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. The CompanyWe utilized particular sources of funds based on comparative costs and availability. This included fixed-rate FHLB advancesborrowings that were obtained at a more favorable cost than deposits. The CompanyWe generally managed the pricing of itsour deposits to maintain a steady deposit base but had from time to time decided not to pay rates on deposits as high as its competition.

As of September 30, 2009, the CompanyMarch 31, 2010, we had $15.6 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 percent until December 15, 2012; the other one-half has a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.59 percent.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company hasWe have identified threethe following critical accounting policies and practices relative to the financial condition andreporting of our results of operation.operation and financial condition. These three accounting policies 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.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is based on management’sour estimate. We believe the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in the existing portfolio. In evaluating the portfolio, management takeswe take into consideration numerous factors, including current economic conditions, prior loan loss experience, the composition of the loan portfolio, and management’s estimate of probable credit losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loss based on management’sour evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio, the composition of the portfolio, specific impaired loans, and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other matters, the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the

underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loss experience, and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate allowance for loan losses. Management establishes an allowance for loan losses that it believes is adequate to absorb probable losses in the existing portfolio. In the event that management’sour evaluation of the level of the allowance for loan losses is inadequate, the Companywe would need to increase itsour provision for loan losses.

Participation Interests in Loan Pools

The loan pool accounting practice relates to management’sour estimate that the investment amount reflected on the Company’sour financial statements does not exceed the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral securing the purchased loans. In evaluating the purchased loan portfolio, management takespool, we take into consideration many factors, including the borrowers’ current financial situation, the underlying collateral, current economic conditions, historical collection experience, and other factors relative to the collection process. If the estimated net realizable value of the loan pool participations is overstated, the Company’sour yield on the loan pools would be reduced.

Application of Purchase Accounting

During 2008, we completed the acquisition of the Former MidwestOne Financial Group, Inc., which generated significant amounts of goodwill and intangible assets and related amortization. The values assigned to goodwill and intangibles, as well as their related useful lives, are subject to judgment and estimation by our management. Goodwill and intangibles related to acquisitions are determined and based on purchase price allocations. Valuation of intangible assets is generally based on the estimated cash flows related to those assets, while the initial value assigned to goodwill is the residual of the purchase price over the fair value of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeded the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss would be recorded in an amount equal to that excess. Performing such a discounted cash flow analysis involves the use of estimates and assumptions. Useful lives are determined based on the expected future period of the benefit of the asset, the assessment of which considers various characteristics of the asset, including the historical cash flows. Due to the number of estimates involved related to the allocation of purchase price and determining the appropriate useful lives of intangible assets, we have identified purchase accounting as a critical accounting policy.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets arise from purchase business combinations. During 2008, we completed our merger with the Former MidWestOne. We were deemed to be the purchaser for accounting purposes and thus recognized goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with the merger. The goodwill was assigned to our one reporting unit, banking. As a general matter, goodwill and other intangible assets generated from purchase business combinations and deemed to have indefinite lives are not subject to amortization and are instead tested for impairment at least annually. Core deposit and customer relationship intangibles arising from acquisitions are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of up to 10 years.

In 2008, the extreme volatility in the banking industry that first started to surface in the latter part of 2007 had a significant impact on banking companies and the price of banking stocks, including our common stock. At December 31, 2008, our market capitalization was less than our total shareholders’ equity, providing an indication that goodwill may be impaired as of such date. Thus, we performed an impairment analysis as a result of the significant decline in our stock price. Based on this analysis, we wrote off $27.3 million of goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2008, which represented all of the goodwill that resulted from the Merger. Such charge had no effect on the Company’s or the Bank’s cash balances or liquidity. In addition, because goodwill and other intangible assets are not included in the calculation of regulatory capital, the Company’s and the Bank’s December 31, 2008 regulatory ratios were not adversely affected by this non-cash expense and exceeded the minimum amounts required to be considered “well-capitalized.”

Our other intangible assets are core deposit premium, insurance agency, trade name, and customer list intangibles. The establishment and subsequent amortization of these intangible assets involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include, among other things, the estimated cost to service deposits acquired discount rates, estimated attrition rates and useful lives, future economic and market conditions, comparison of our market value to book value and determination of appropriate market comparables. Actual future results may differ from those estimates. We assess these intangible assets for impairment annually or more often if conditions indicate a possible impairment. Each quarter we evaluate the estimated useful lives of intangible assets and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. In accordance with FASB ASC 350,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.

Fair Value of Available for Sale Securities

Securities available for sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes. Declines in fair value of individual securities, below their amortized cost, are evaluated by management to determine whether the decline is temporary or “other than temporary.“other-than-temporary.” Declines in the fair value of available for sale equity securities below their cost that are deemed “other than temporary”“other-than-temporary” are reflected in earnings as impairment losses, while other than temporary impairments of debt securities are separated into credit-related and other factors. For debt securities, the amount of other than temporarylosses. In determining whether other-than-temporary impairment related to credit losses is recognized in earnings while the amount related to other factors is recorded in other comprehensive income. In estimating “other than temporary” impairment losses,exists, management considers a number of factors includingwhether: (1) we have the length of time and extentintent to whichsell the fair value has been lesssecurity, (2) it is more likely than cost, (2)not that we will be required to sell the financial condition and near-term prospectssecurity before recovery of the issuer,amortized cost basis and (3) we do not expect to recover the intent and abilityentire amortized cost basis of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.security.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

The Company isWe are a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of itsour customers, which include commitments to extend credit. The Company’sOur 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. The Company usesWe use the same credit policies in making commitments as it doeswe 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. The Company evaluatesWe evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. As of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, outstanding commitments to extend credit totaled approximately $174.8$175.0 million.

Commitments under standby and performance letters of credit outstanding aggregated $4.3$3.9 million as of September 30, 2009. The Company doesMarch 31, 2010. 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 MidWestOneMidWestOne 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 severe dislocations in the credit markets that prevailed throughout 2008 and 2009, and continued during the first three quartersquarter of 2009,2010, 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 the Company’sour ability to fund operations, to meet depositor withdrawals, to provide for itsour customers’ credit needs, and to meet maturing obligations and existing commitments. TheOur liquidity of the Company principally depends on cash flows from operating activities, investment in and maturity of assets, changes in balances of deposits and borrowings, and itsour ability to borrow funds.

Net cash inflows from operating activities were $16.7$6.3 million in the first three quartersquarter of 2009,2010, compared with $5.8$6.9 million in the first three quartersquarter of 2008.2009. Proceeds from sale of loans held for sale, net of funds used to originate loans held for sale, were a source of inflow for the first three quartersquarter of 2009,2010, as was a net change in other assetsaccrued interest receivable of $2.5$1.0 million.

Net cash outflowsinflows from investing activities were $32.5$3.2 million in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, compared to net cash outflows of $33.4$7.8 million in the comparable nine-monththree-month period of 2008.2009. In the first ninethree months of 2009,2010, securities transactions accounted for a net outflow of $69.4$10.2 million, and net principal received on loans accounted for net inflows of $35.7$11.3 million. Cash inflows for loan pool participations were $4.2$1.5 million during the first three quartersmonths of 20092010 compared to a $10.0$2.3 million outflow during the same period of 2008.2009.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the first ninethree months of 2010 was $4.9 million. The largest cash outflow from financing activities in the first quarter of 2010 consisted of $3.5 million in net decrease in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The largest financing cash inflow during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was the $13.4 million increase in deposits. Cash inflows from financing activities in the first quarter of 2009 was $10.1 million. Included in this amount iswere $35.0 million, which included the $16.0 million that we received from our issuance of shares of senior preferred stock and a warrant to purchase common stock to the U.S. Treasury pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program. The

largest cash outflow from financing activities in the first three quarters of 2009 consisted of $21.0 million inIn addition, net repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The largest financing cash inflow during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was the $24.6 million increase in deposits. Cash inflows from financing activities in the first three quarters of 2008 were $20.6 million, which included net increases occurred in deposits and FHLB advancessecurities sold under agreements to repurchase of $7.5$22.0 million and $15.6$10.3 million, respectively. In the same period of 2008, Fed Funds purchased increased $3.8 million.

To further mitigate liquidity risk, the Company’s subsidiary bankBank 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 Asset/Liability management plan. These acceptable sources of liquidity include:

 

Fed Funds Lines

 

FHLB AdvancesBorrowings

 

Brokered Repurchase Agreements

 

Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window

Fed Funds Lines:

Routine liquidity requirements are met by fluctuations in the subsidiary bank’sBank’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, theour subsidiary bank has unsecured Fed Fund lines totaling $30$55 million, which lines are tested annually to ensure availability.

FHLB Advances:Borrowings:

FHLB advancesborrowings provide both a source of liquidity and long-term funding for the subsidiary bank.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 subsidiary bank.Bank. Factors that are taken into account when contemplating use of FHLB advancesborrowings are the effective interest rate, the collateral requirements, community investment program credits, and the implications and cost of having to purchase incremental FHLB stock. The current FHLB advance limit is 25% of total assets. Currently, the subsidiary bankBank has a $256.7$205.2 million advance limit with $137.0$127.7 million in outstanding advances,borrowings, leaving $119.7$77.5 million available for liquidity needs. These advancesborrowings 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, 2009.March 31, 2010.

Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window:

The FRB Discount Window is another source of liquidity, particularly during difficult economic times. The subsidiary bankBank has a borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago limited only by the amount of municipal securities pledged against the line. Currently, the subsidiary bankBank owns municipal securities with an approximate market value of $14.2$13.5 million available for liquidity purposes.

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 parta result, net interest margin and earnings and the market value of its normal operations, the Company isassets and liabilities are subject to interest-ratefluctuations arising from the movement of interest rates. We manage several forms of interest rate risk, onincluding 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 assets it invests in (primarily loanslimits and securities) and the liabilities it funds with (primarily customer deposits and borrowed funds), as well as its ability to manage such risk. Fluctuations in interest rates may result in changes in the fair

market valuesguidelines of the Company’s financial instruments, cash flows, and net interest income. Like most financial institutions, the Company has an exposure to changes in both short-term and long-term interest rates.Bank’s Asset/Liability Management Policy.

Like most financial institutions, the Company’sour 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. The Company’sOur asset and liability committee (ALCO) seeks to manage interest rate risk under a variety of rate environments by structuring the Company’sour balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions. The risk is monitored and managed within approved policy limits.

The Company usesWe use a third-party computer software simulation modeling program to measure itsour 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 the Company’sour deposits, and the rates and volumes of itsour loans. This analysis measures the estimated change in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. The following table presents the Company’sour projected changes in net interest income for the various interest rate shock levels at September 30, 2009.March 31, 2010.

As shown above, at September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, the effect of an immediate and sustained 200 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease the Company’sour net interest income by approximately $1.4$2.4 million. The effect of a rampedan immediate and sustained 200 basis point decrease in rates would increase the Company’sour net interest income by approximately $1.4$0.8 million. An increase in interest rates would cause more of the Company’sour interest-bearing liabilities to reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets, thus reducing net interest income. AConversely, a decrease in interest rates would cause an increase in net interest income as interest-bearing liabilities would decline more rapidly than interest-earning assets. However, in thisIn the current low interest rate environment, manymodel results of the interest-bearing liabilities could not be decreased by anothera 200 basis points, thereby causing a decreasepoint drop in net interest incomerates are of questionable value as many interest bearing liabilities and interest earning asset yields fall. To mitigate this effect, interest rate floors have been placed on many of the loans.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 the Companywe could have undertaken in response to changes in interest rates.
