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

1.    Principles of Consolidation and Presentation
MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. (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.
On May 1, 2015, the Company completed its merger with Central Bancshares, Inc. (“Central”), pursuant to which Central was merged with and into the Company. In connection with the merger, Central Bank, a Minnesota-chartered commercial bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Central, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On April 2, 2016, Central Bank merged with and into MidWestOne Bank.
The Company issued 2,723,083 shares of common stock and paid $64.0 million in cash, for total consideration of $141.9 million, in connection with the holding company merger. The results of operations acquired from Central have been included in the Company’s results of operations for the time period since the date of acquisition.
The Company owns all of the common stock of MidWestOne Bank, an Iowa state non-member bank chartered in 1934 with its main office in Iowa City, Iowa, and prior to the bank merger, all of the common stock of Central Bank, a Minnesota state non-member bank chartered in 1988 with its main office in Golden Valley, Minnesota, and all of the common stock of MidWestOne Insurance Services, Inc., Oskaloosa, Iowa. We operate primarily through our bank subsidiaries, MidWestOne Bank and, prior to the bank merger, Central Bank, and MidWestOne Insurance Services, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary that operates an insurance agency business through six offices located in central and east-central Iowa.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all the information and notes necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is written with the presumption that the users of the interim financial statements have read or have access to the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company, which contains the latest audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of December 31, 20142015 and for the year then ended. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and 20142015. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect: (1) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (2) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (3) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available to management at the time the estimates are made. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 may not be indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2015,2016, or for any other period.
All significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the quarterly financial statements are disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20142015. In the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits in banks.banks, and federal funds sold.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ consolidated financial statements to present them on a basis comparable with the current period’s consolidated financial statements.

2.    Business Combination
On May 1, 2015, the Company acquired all of the voting equity interests of Central, a bank holding company and the parent company of Central Bank, a commercial bank headquartered in Golden Valley, Minnesota, through the merger of Central with and into the Company. Among other things, this transaction providesprovided the Company with the opportunity to expand theits business into new markets and grow the size of the business. At the effective time of the merger, each share of common stock of Central converted into a pro rata portion of (1) 2,723,083 shares of common stock of the Company, and (2) $64.0 million in cash.

7


This business combination was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired company have been included in the Company’s results of operations since the date of acquisition. Under this method of accounting, assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. As the consideration paid for Central exceeded the net assets acquired, goodwill of $63.2$64.7 million washas been recorded on the acquisition. Goodwill recorded in this transaction, which reflects the entry into the geographically new markets served by Central, has been provisionally allocated to our Central Bank segment. Goodwill recorded in the transaction is not tax deductible. The fair value of certain assets and liabilities and results recognized in the financial statements for the business combination have been determined only provisionally as of the third quarter of 2015. The following acquired assets and liabilities are included within the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2015 as provisional amounts as the Company continues to gather information to estimate the fair value as of the date of acquisition: 1) deferred taxes remain provisional as the Company continues the process of transitioning Central Bank from an S-Corp to a C-Corp. The Company expects to obtain the additional information needed to finalize this amount in the first quarter of 2016, following the filing of the income tax return for pre-merger Central. All other amounts recognized for the business combination in the financial statements have been determined to be final as of September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016.

Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded and initially measured at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value. An allowance for loan losses is not carried over. These purchased loans are segregated into two types: purchased credit impaired loans and purchased non-credit impaired loans without evidence of significant credit deterioration.
Purchased credit impaired loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” as they display significant credit deterioration since origination and it is probable, as of the acquisition date, that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments from the borrower.

8


Purchased non-credit impaired loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-20 “Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs” as these loans do not have evidence of significant credit deterioration since origination and it is probable all contractually required payments will be received from the borrower.
For purchased non-credit impaired loans, the difference between the estimated fair value of the loans (computed on a loan-by-loan basis) and the principal outstanding is accreted over the remaining life of the loans.

For purchased credit impaired loans the difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the non-accretable difference. Further, any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the expected remaining life of the loan if the timing and amount of the future cash flows are reasonably estimable. Subsequent to the purchase date, increases in cash flows over those expected at the purchase date are recognized as interest income prospectively. The present value of any decreases in expected cash flows after the purchase date is recognized by recording an allowance for credit losses and a provision for loan losses.
The following table presents the purchased loans as of the acquisition date:
 (in thousands) Purchased Credit Impaired Loans Purchased Non-Credit Impaired Loans
 Contractually required principal payments $36,886
 $905,314

(1) Included in the accretable discount for purchased non-credit impaired loans is approximately $10.4 million of estimated undiscounted principal losses.
Disclosures required by ASC 805-20-50-1(a) concerning the FDICFederal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the ”FDIC”) indemnification assets have not been included due to the immateriality of the amount involved. See Note 6. “Loans Receivable and the Allowance for Loan Losses” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the FDIC indemnification asset.
ASC 805-30-30-7 requires that the consideration transfered in a business combination should be measured at fair value. Since the common shares issued as part of the consideration of the merger included a restriction on their sale, pledge or other disposition, an illiquidity discount has been assigned to the shares based upon the volatility of the underlying shares’ daily returns and the period of restriction.
The Company recorded $0.2$2.2 million and $3.4$0.5 million in pre-tax merger-related expenses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, including professional and legal fees of $0.2$0.1 million and $1.9$0.2 million, respectively, to directly consummate the merger.bank merger and the holding company merger, respectively.

During the measurement period, specifically the three months ended September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the Company recognized adjustments to the provisional amounts reported at June 30,December 31, 2015, which reflect new information that existed as of May 1, 2015 that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. In its interim financial statements for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the Company adjusted the provisional amounts for the trade name, stock illiquidity discount, FDIC indemnification asset and other real estate owned.deferred taxes. The results of these adjustments are reflected in the $6.7$0.1 million increase to goodwill during the quarter ended September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. The provisionalfinal adjustments had no significant impact on earnings, for the three and six months ending June 30, 2015 and in accordance with ASU 2015-16 were recorded in earnings during the three months ending September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016.

The Company’sCompany's assessment of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”("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 creditworthiness of the issuer, the type of underlying assets if any, and the current and anticipated market conditions.
At September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, the Company’s mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations portfolios consisted of securities predominantly backed by one- to four-family mortgage loans and underwritten to the standards of and guaranteed by the following government-sponsored agencies: the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, (“FHLMC”), the Federal National Mortgage Association, (“FNMA”), and the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”).Association. 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 and collateralized mortgage obligations do not expose the Company to credit-related losses.
At September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, approximately 58% of the municipal bonds held by the Company were Iowa-based, and approximately 20% were Minnesota-based. The Company does not intend to sell these municipal obligations, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell them beforeuntil the recovery of their 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 atin fair value, as well as the evaluation of the fundamentals of the issuers’ financial conditions and other objective evidence, the Company believes that the municipal obligations identified in the tables above were temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014.2015.

As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the Company also owned $1.0$0.3 million of equity securities in banks and financial service-related companies, and $1.0$1.0 million of mutual funds invested in debt securities and other debt instruments that will cause units of the fund to be deemed to be qualified under the Community Reinvestment Act. Equity securities are considered

13


to have OTTI whenever they have been in a loss position, compared to current book value, for twelve consecutive months, and the Company does not expect them to recover to their original cost basis. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and the full year of 2014, 2015, no impairment charges were recorded, as the affected equity securities were not deemed impaired due to stabilized market prices in relation to the Company’s original purchase price.
The following table provides a roll forward of credit losses on fixed maturity securities recognized in net income:

It is reasonably possible that the fair values of the Company’s investment securities could decline in the future if interest rates increase or the overall economy or the financial conditions of the issuers deteriorate. As a result, there is a risk that additional OTTI may be recognized in the future and any such amounts could be material to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are collateralized by mortgage loans and guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. Our experience has indicated that principal payments will be collected sooner than scheduled because of prepayments. Therefore, these securities are not scheduled in the maturity categories indicated above. Equity securities available for sale with an amortized cost of $1.21.3 million and a fair value of $1.21.3 million are also excluded from this table.
OtherProceeds from the sales of investment securities include investments in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock. The carrying value ofavailable for sale during the FHLB stock at September 30, 2015three months was $9.8ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 were $19.7 million and at December 31, 2014 was $8.6$48.3 million, which is included in the Other Assets line of the consolidated balance sheets. This security is not readily marketable and ownership of FHLB stock is a requirement for membership in the FHLB-Des Moines. The amount of FHLB stock held is directly related to the amount of FHLB advances borrowed. Because there are no available market values, this security is carried at cost and evaluated for potential impairment each quarter. Redemption of this investment is at the option of the FHLB.respectively.

As part of the merger between MidWestOne Bank and Central Bank, management developed a single methodology for determining the amount of the ALLL that would be needed at the combined bank. The new methodology is a hybrid of the methods used at MidWestOne Bank and Central Bank prior to the bank merger and the results from the new ALLL model are consistent with the results that the two banks calculated individually. The refined allowance calculation allocates the portion of allowance that was previously deemed to be unallocated to instead be included in management’s determination of appropriate qualitative factors. These qualitative factors include (i) national and local economic conditions, (ii) the quality and experience of lending staff and management, (iii) changes in lending policies and procedures, (iv) changes in volume and severity of past due loans, classified loans and non-performing loans, (v) potential impact of any concentrations of credit, (vi) changes in the nature and terms of loans such as growth rates and utilization rates, (vii) changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans, considering the Company’s disposition bias, and (viii) the effect of other external factors such as the legal and regulatory environment. The Company may also consider other qualitative factors for additional allowance allocations, including changes in the Company’s loan review process. Changes in the criteria used in this evaluation or the availability of new information could cause the allowance to be increased or decreased in future periods. In addition, bank regulatory agencies, as part of their examination process, may require adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments and estimates.

Loan Portfolio Segment Risk Characteristics
Agricultural - Agricultural loans, most of which are secured by crops, livestock, and machinery, are provided to finance capital improvements and farm operations as well as acquisitions of livestock and machinery. The ability of the borrower to repay may be affected by many factors outside of the borrower’s control including adverse weather conditions, loss of livestock due to disease or other factors, declines in market prices for agricultural products and the impact of government regulations. The ultimate repayment of agricultural loans is dependent upon the profitable operation or management of the agricultural entity. Collateral for these loans generally includes accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real estate. However, depending on the overall financial condition of the borrower, some loans are made on an unsecured basis. The collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.
Commercial and Industrial - Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the reported cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The collateral support provided by the borrower for most of these loans and the probability of repayment are based on the liquidation of the pledged collateral and enforcement of a personal guarantee, if any exists. The primary repayment risks of commercial and industrial loans are that the cash flows of the borrower may be unpredictable, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. The size of the loans the Company can offer to commercial customers is less than the size of the loans that competitors with larger lending limits can offer. This may limit the Company’s ability to establish relationships with the largest businesses in the areas in which the Company operates. As a result, the Company may assume greater lending risks than financial institutions that have a lesser concentration of such loans and tend to make loans to larger businesses. Collateral for these loans generally includes accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real estate. However, depending on the overall financial condition of the borrower, some loans are made on an unsecured basis. The collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. In addition, if the U.S. economy does not continue to improve, this could harm or continue to

harm the businesses of the Company’s commercial and industrial customers and reduce the value of the collateral securing these loans.

Commercial Real Estate - The Company offers mortgage loans to commercial and agricultural customers for the acquisition of real estate used in their businesses, such as offices, warehouses and production facilities, and to real estate investors for the acquisition of apartment buildings, retail centers, office buildings and other commercial buildings. The market value of real estate securing commercial real estate loans can fluctuate significantly in a short period of time as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. Adverse developments affecting real estate values in one or more of the Company’s markets could increase the credit risk associated with its loan portfolio. Additionally, real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts than other loans, and the repayment of the loans generally is dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the properties securing the loans to cover operating expenses and debt service. Economic events or governmental regulations outside of the Company’s control or that of the borrower could negatively impact the future cash flow and market values of the affected properties.
Residential Real Estate - The Company generally retains short-term residential mortgage loans that are originated for its own portfolio but sells most long-term loans to other parties while retaining servicing rights on the majority of those loans. The market value of real estate securing residential real estate loans can fluctuate as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. Adverse developments affecting real estate values in one or more of the Company’s markets could increase the credit risk associated with its loan portfolio. Additionally, real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts than other loans, and the repayment of the loans generally is dependent, in large part, on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and is therefore more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.
Consumer - Consumer loans typically have shorter terms, lower balances, higher yields and higher risks of default than real estate-related loans. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and are therefore more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Collateral for these loans generally includes automobiles, boats, recreational vehicles, mobile homes, and real estate. However, depending on the overall financial condition of the borrower, some loans are made on an unsecured basis. The collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to recover and may fluctuate in value based on condition. In addition, a decline in the United States economy could result in reduced employment, impacting the ability of customers to repay their obligations.
Purchased Loans Policy
All purchased loans (nonimpaired and impaired) are initially measured at fair value as of the acquisition date in accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value. An allowance for loan losses is not recorded at the acquisition date for loans purchased.
Individual loans acquired through the completion of a transfer, including loans that have evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable, are referred to herein as “purchased credit impaired loans.” In determining the acquisition date fair value and estimated credit losses of purchased credit impaired loans, and in subsequent accounting, the Company accounts for loans individually. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition, or the “nonaccretable difference,” are not recognized as a yield adjustment or as a loss accrual or valuation allowance. Expected cash flows at the purchase date in excess of the fair value of loans, if any, are recorded as interest income over the expected life of the loans if the timing and amount of future cash flows are reasonably estimable. Subsequent to the purchased date, increases in cash flows over those expected at the purchase date are recognized as interest income prospectively. The present value of any decreases in expected cash flows after the purchase date is recognized by recording an allowance for loan losses and a provision for loan losses. If the Company does not have the information necessary to reasonably estimate cash flows to be expected, it may use the cost-recovery method or cash-basis method of income recognition.
Subsequent to the purchase date, increases in cash flows over those expected at the purchase date are recognized as interest income prospectively. Subsequent to the purchase date, the methods utilized to estimate the required allowance for loan losses for these loans are similar to originated loans. The remaining differences between the purchase price and the unpaid balance at the date of acquisition are recorded in interest income over the life of the loan.
Charge-off Policy
The Company requires a loan to be charged-off, in whole or in part, as soon as it becomes apparent that some loss will be incurred, or when its collectability is sufficiently questionable that it no longer is considered a bankable asset. The primary considerations when determining if and how much of a loan should be charged-off are as follows: (1) the potential for future cash flows; (2) the value of any collateral; and (3) the strength of any co-makers or guarantors.

When it is determined that a loan requires a partial or full charge-off, a request for approval of a charge-off is submitted to the respective bank’sCompany's President, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer, and the Senior Regional Loan officer. The respective bank’sbank's board of directors formally approves all loan charge-offs. Once a loan is charged-off, it cannot be restructured and returned to the respective bank’sCompany's books.
The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The Company requires the maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) in order to cover estimated probable losses without eroding the Company’s capital base. Calculations are done at each quarter end, or more frequently if warranted, to analyze the collectability of loans and to ensure the adequacy of the allowance. In line with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”)FDIC directives, the ALLL calculation does not include consideration of loans held for sale or off-balance-sheet credit exposures (such as unfunded letters of credit). Determining the appropriate level for the ALLL relies on the informed judgment of management, and as such, is subject to inaccuracy. Given the inherently imprecise nature of calculating the necessary ALLL, the Company’s policy permits an “unallocated” allowancethe actual ALLL to be between 15%20% above and 5% below the “indicated reserve.” These unallocated amounts are due to those overall factors impacting the ALLL that are not captured in detailed loan category calculations.
Loans Reviewed Individually for Impairment
The Company identifies loans to be reviewed and evaluated individually for impairment based on current information and events and the probability that the borrower will be unable to repay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Specific areas of consideration include: size of credit exposure, risk rating, delinquency, nonaccrual status, and loan classification.
The level of individual impairment is measured using one of the following methods: (1) the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell; (2) the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’sloan's effective interest rate; or (3) the loan’sloan's observable market price. Loans that are deemed fully collateralized or have been charged down to a level corresponding with any of the three measurements require no assignment of reserves from the ALLL.

All loans deemedA loan modification is a change in an existing loan contract that has been agreed to by the borrower and the bank, which may or may not be a troubled debt restructure or “TDR”“TDR.” All loans deemed TDR are considered impaired. A loan is considered a TDR when, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, a concession is granted to the borrower that would not otherwise be considered. Both financial distress on the part of the borrower and the bank’s granting of a concession, which are detailed further below, must be present in order for the loan to be considered a TDR.
All of the following factors are indicators that the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties (one or more items may be present):
The debtor is currently in default on any of its debt.
The debtor has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy.
There is significant doubt as to whether the debtor will continue to be a going concern.
Currently, the debtor has securities that have been delisted, are in the process of being delisted, or are under threat of being delisted from an exchange.
Based on estimates and projections that only encompass the current business capabilities, the debtor forecasts that its entity-specific cash flows will be insufficient to service the debt (both interest and principal) in accordance with the contractual terms of the existing agreement through maturity.
Absent the current modification, the debtor cannot obtain funds from sources other than the existing creditors at an effective interest rate equal to the current market interest rate for similar debt for a non-troubled debtor.
The following factors are potential indicators that a concession has been granted (one or multiple items may be present):
The borrower receives a reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt.
The borrower receives an extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower that the current market interest rate for new debt with similar risk characteristics.
The borrower receives a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement.
The borrower receives a deferral of required payments (principal and/or interest).
The borrower receives a reduction of the accrued interest.

Loans Reviewed Collectively for Impairment
All loans not evaluated individually for impairment arewill be separated into homogeneous pools to be collectively evaluated. Loans will be first grouped together by typeinto the various loan types (i.e. commercial, agricultural, consumer, etc.) and further segmented within each subset by risk classification (i.e. pass, special mention,mention/watch, and substandard).

18


Homogeneous loans past due 60-89 days and 90 days and over are classified special mentionmention/watch and substandard, respectively, for allocation purposes.
The Company’s historical loss experience for each group segmented by loan type is calculated using the fiscal quarter-end data for the most recentprior 20 quarters as a starting point for estimating losses. In addition, other prevailing qualitative or environmental factors likely to cause probable losses to vary from historical data are incorporated in the form of adjustments to increase or decrease the loss rate applied to each group. These adjustments are documented and fully explain how the current information, events, circumstances, and conditions impact the historical loss measurement assumptions.
Although not a comprehensive list, the following are considered key factors and are evaluated with each calculation of the ALLL to determine if adjustments to historical loss rates are warranted:
Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses.
Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments.
Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans.
Changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff.
Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans.
Changes in the quality of our loan review system.
Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans.

The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations.
The effect of other external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the level of estimated credit losses in the banks’ existing portfolios.
The items listed above are used to determine the pass percentage for loans evaluated collectivelyunder ASC 450, and as such, are applied to the loans risk rated pass. Due to the inherent risks associated with special mentionmention/watch risk rated loans (i.e. early stages of financial deterioration, technical exceptions, etc.), this subset is reserved at two times thea level that will cover losses above a pass allocation factor to reflect this increasedfor loans that had a loss in the last 20 quarters in which the loan was risk exposure. In addition, non-impairedrated special mention/watch at the time of the loss. Substandard loans classified as substandard loans carry exponentially greater risk than special mentionmention/watch loans, and as such, this subset is reserved at six timesa level that will cover losses above a pass allocation for loans that had a loss in the pass allocation. Further, non-impairedlast 20 quarters in which the loans less than $0.2 million that are past due 60 - 89 days or 90 days and over, are respectively classified as special mention or substandard. They are given an increased loan loss allocation of 25% or 50%, respectively, abovewas risk rated substandard at the five-year historical loss ratetime of the specific loan type.loss. Ongoing analysis will be performed to support these factor multiples.
The following tables set forth the risk category of loans by class of loans and credit quality indicator based on the most recent analysis performed, as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014:2015:

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

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

days and 60-89 days columns in the table above reflect contractual delinquency status of loans not considered nonperforming due to classification as a TDR or being placed on non-accrual.

Not included in the loans above as of September 30,March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were purchased credit impaired loans with an outstanding balance of $34.3$4.5 million and $33.0 million, net of a discount of $8.0 million.$1.8 million and $7.4 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the Company had no commitments to lend additional funds to any borrowers who have had a TDR.
Purchased Loans
Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded and initially measured at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value. An allowance for loan losses is not carried over. These purchased loans are segregated into two types: purchased credit impaired loans and purchased non-credit impaired loans.

Purchased non-credit impaired loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-20 “Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs” as these loans do not have evidence of significant credit deterioration since origination and it is probable all contractually required payments will be received from the borrower.
Purchased credit impaired loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” as they display significant credit deterioration since origination and it is probable, as of the acquisition date, that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments from the borrower.
Purchased non-credit impaired loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-20 “Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs” as these loans do not have evidence of significant credit deterioration since origination and it is probable all contractually required payments will be received from the borrower.
For purchased non-credit impaired loans the accretable discount is the discount applied to the expected cash flows of the portfolio to account for the differences between the interest rates at acquisition and rates currently expected on similar portfolios in the marketplace. As the accretable discount is accreted to interest income over the expected average life of the portfolio, the result will be interest income on loans at the estimated current market rate. We anticipate recording a provision for the acquired portfolio in future quarters as the former Central loans renew and the discount is accreted.
For purchased credit impaired loans the difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the non-accretable difference. Further, any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the expected remaining life of the loan if the timing and amount of the future cash flows are reasonably estimable.

This discount includes an adjustment on loans that are not accruing or paying contractual interest so that interest income will be recognized at the estimated current market rate.

24


Subsequent to the purchase date, increases in cash flows over those expected at the purchase date are recognized as interest income prospectively. The present value of any decreases in expected cash flows after the purchase date is recognized by recording an allowance for credit losses and a provision for loan losses.
Changes in the accretable yield for loans acquired and accounted for under ASC 310-30 were as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and 2014:2015:

Loan Pool Participations
The Company acquired its loan pool participations in a prior merger and continued in this business following that merger. However, in 2010, the Company made the decision to exit this line of business and did not purchase new loan pool participations as existing pools paid down. The Company sold its remaining loan pool participations in June 2015, and has now completely exited this line of business.

7.    Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including core deposit, trade name, and client relationship intangibles, consists of goodwill. Under ASC Topic 350, goodwill isand the non-amortizing portion of the trade name intangible are subject to at least annual assessments for impairment by applying a fair value based test. The Company reviews goodwill and the non-amortizing portion of the trade name intangible at the reporting unit level to determine potential impairment annually on October 1, or more frequently if events andor changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill mightthe carrying value may not be impaired,recoverable, by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit with the fair value of the reporting unit.
The Company’s annual assessment date is as As of October 1. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. At the current timeMarch 31, 2016, the Company hashad three reporting units: MidWestOne Bank, Central Bank, and Corporate and other. No impairment losses were recognizedwas recorded on either the goodwill or the trade name intangible assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. The carrying amount of goodwill was $63.2$64.7 million at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and zero$64.5 million at December 31, 2014.2015. The increase of $63.2$0.1 million in goodwill was due to the finalization of merger accounting issues related to the Central merger.
TheIn addition to goodwill, the Company recognized a $63.2 million goodwill intangible, a $12.7 million core deposit intangible, and a $1.4 million trade name intangible in 2015 due to the Central merger.

MidWestOne Bank and, previously, Central Bank are each members of The Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, and ownership of FHLB stock is a requirement for membership in the FHLB Des Moines. The amount of FHLB stock the banks are required to hold is directly related to the amount of FHLB advances borrowed. Because this security is not readily marketable and there are no available market values, this security is carried at cost and evaluated for potential impairment each quarter. Redemption of this investment is at the option of the FHLB. No impairment was recorded on FHLB stock in the three months ended March 31, 2016 or in the year ended December 31, 2015. Redemption of this investment is at the option of the FHLB.
As part of the Central merger, the Company became a party to certain loss-share agreements with the FDIC from previous Central-related acquisitions. These agreements cover realized losses on loans and foreclosed real estate for specified periods. These loss-share assets are measured separately from the loan portfolios because they are not contractually embedded in the loans and are not transferable with the loans should the Company choose to dispose of them. Fair values at the acquisition dates were estimated based on projected cash flows available for loss-share based on the credit adjustments estimated for each loan. The loss-share assets are separately measured from the related loans and foreclosed real estate and recorded within other assets on the balance sheet.
Mortgage servicing rights are recorded at fair value based on assumptions provided by a third-party valuation service. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the servicing cost per loan, the discount rate, the escrow float rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.

(1) All distributions are cumulative and paid in cash quarterly.
(2) Central Bancshares Capital Trust II and Barron Investment Capital Trust I were established by Central prior to the Company’s merger with Central, and the junior subordinated notes issued by Central were assumed by the Company.
The trust preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the junior subordinated notes at the stated maturity date or upon redemption of the junior subordinated notes. Each trust’s ability to pay amounts due on the trust preferred securities is solely dependent upon the Company making payment on the related junior subordinated notes. The Company’s obligation under the junior subordinated notes and other relevant trust agreements, in aggregate, constitutes a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of each trust’s obligations under the trust preferred securities issued by each trust. The Company has the right to defer payment of interest on the notes and, therefore, distributions on the trust preferred securities, for up to five years, but not beyond the stated maturity date in the table above. During any such deferral period the Company may not pay cash dividends on its stock and generally may not repurchase its stock.

13.Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received in selling an asset or paid in transferring 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 (1) independent, (2) knowledgeable, (3) able to transact and (4) willing to transact.
GAAP 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, GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
It is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements. 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. 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.
Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Securities Available for Sale - The Company’s investment securities classified as available for sale include: debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government agencies and corporations, 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. The Company utilizes an independent pricing service to obtain the fair value of debt securities. On a quarterly basis, the Company selects a sample of 30 securities from its primary pricing service and compares them to a secondary independent pricing service to validate value. In addition, the Company periodically reviews the pricing methodology utilized by the primary independent service for reasonableness. Debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government agencies and corporations 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. On an annual basis, a group of selected municipal securities are priced by a securities dealer and that price is used to verify the primary independent service’s valuation.

The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014.2015. There were no liabilities subject to fair value measurement as of these dates. The assets are segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

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

30


recorded book value or fair value of the property, less disposal costs. Because many of these inputs are unobservable, the valuations are classified as Level 3.
The following table discloses the Company’s estimated fair value amounts of its assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. It is management’s belief that the fair values presented below are reasonable based on the valuation techniques and data available to the Company as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 20142015, as more fully described above.

The following presents the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the financial instruments held by the Company at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 20142015. The information presented is subject to change over time based on a variety of factors. The operations of the Company are managed on a going concern basis and not a liquidation basis. As a result, the ultimate value realized from the financial instruments presented could be substantially different when actually recognized over time through the normal course of operations. Additionally, a substantial portion of the Company’s inherent value is the capitalization and franchise value of MidWestOne Bank and, previously, Central Bank. Neither of these components has been given consideration in the presentation of fair values below.

 Cash and cash equivalents, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and accrued interest are instruments with carrying values that approximate fair value.
Investment securities available for sale are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Held to maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. Fair value is based upon quoted prices, if available. If a quoted price is not available, the fair value is obtained from benchmarking the security against similar securities by using a third-party pricing service.
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, with fair value being based on recent observable loan sales. The portfolio has historically consisted primarily of residential real estate loans.
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for other loans are determined using estimated future cash flows, discounted at the interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality. The Company does record nonrecurring fair value adjustments to loans to reflect (1) partial write-downs and allowances that are based on the observable market price or appraised value of the collateral or (2) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value.
Loan pool participation carrying values represent the discounted price paid by us to acquire our participation interests in the various loan pool participations purchased, which approximates fair value.
The fair value of FHLB stock is estimated at its carrying value and redemption price of $100 per share.
Deposit liabilities are carried at historical cost. The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market account deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. If the fair value of the fixed maturity certificates of deposit is calculated at less than the carrying amount, the carrying value of these deposits is reported as the fair value.

33


FHLB borrowings, Juniorjunior subordinated notes issued to capital trusts, subordinated notes, and long-term debt are recorded at historical cost. The fair value of these items is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

* Not Meaningful. Third party appraisals are obtained as to the value of the underlying asset, but disclosure of this information would not provide meaningful information, as the range will vary widely from loan to loan. Types of discounts considered include age of the appraisal, local market conditions, current condition of the property, and estimated sales costs. These discounts will also vary from loan to loan, thus providing a range would not be meaningful.
Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on these estimated fair values.

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

15.    Operating Segments
Selected financial and descriptive information is required to be disclosed for reportable operating segments, applying a “management perspective” as the basis for identifying reportable segments. The management perspective is determined by the view that management takes of the segments within the Company when making operating decisions, allocating resources, and measuring performance. The segments of the Company have been defined by the structure of the Company’s internal organization, focusing on the financial information that the Company’s operating decision-makers routinely use to make decisions about operating matters.
The Company’s primary segment, Commercial Banking, is geographically divided by markets into the secondary segments which are the two subsidiary banks wholly-owned by the Company: MidWestOne Bank and Central Bank (which was acquired May 1, 2015)2015 and merged into MidWestOne Bank on April 2, 2016). Each of these secondary segments offers similar products and services, but are managed separately due to different pricing, product demand, and consumer markets. Each offerswith each offering commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans and deposit services.
The Company’s All Other segment includes the operations of all other consolidated subsidiaries and/or defined operating segments that fall below the segment reporting thresholds. This segment includes the corporate operations of the parent company.
The accounting policies of the segments are generally the same as those of the consolidated company.

16.15.    Branch Sales
On September 10, 2015, MidWestOne Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement to sell its Ottumwa, Iowa branch to Peoples State Bank headquartered in Albia, Iowa, a unit of Peoples Tri-County BanCorp. Subject to regulatory approval, Peoples State Bank will assume approximately $35 million in deposits and $20 million in assets, with an expected completion date in December 2015.

17.16.    Effect of New Financial Accounting Standards
In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-01, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. The objective of this update is to provide guidance on accounting for investments by a reporting entity in flow-through limited liability entities that manage or invest in affordable housing projects that qualify for the low-income housing tax credit. The low-income housing tax credit program is designed to encourage private capital investment in the construction and rehabilitation of low-income housing. This program is an indirect tax subsidy that allows investors in a flow-through limited liability entity, such as limited partnerships or limited liability companies that manage or invest in qualified affordable housing projects, to receive the benefits of the tax credits allocated to the entity that owns the qualified affordable housing project. The tax credits are allowable on the tax return each year over a 10-year period as a result of a sufficient number of units being rented to qualifying tenants and are subject to restrictions on gross rentals paid by those tenants. Those credits are subject to recapture over a 15-year period starting with the first year tax credits are earned. The amendments in this update permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. For public entities, the amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all annual periods and interim reporting periods presented within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-04, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The objective of this update is to reduce diversity by clarifying when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. For public entities, the amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606). The guidance in this update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following five steps: 1) identify the contracts(s) with the customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. For a public entity, the amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The guidance in this update changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financing arrangements. It also requires enhanced disclosures about repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The accounting changes in this update are effective for public companies for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. In addition, for public companies, the disclosure for certain transactions accounted for as a sale is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and the disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. Early application is not permitted. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-14, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. This update provides guidance on how to classify and measure certain government-guaranteed mortgage loans upon

37


foreclosure, most commonly those offered by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”). The ASU requires that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if the following conditions are met: 1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure; 2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under the claim; and 3) at the time of foreclosure, an amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The accounting changes in this update are effective for public companies for annual periods, and the interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early application is permitted under certain circumstances. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this update provide guidance in GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. In doing so, the amendment should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. Disclosures are required if it is probable an entity will be unable to meet its obligations within the look-forward period of twelve months

after the financial statements are made available. Incremental substantial doubt disclosure is required if the probability is not mitigated by management’s plans. The new standard applies to all entities for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB announced a delay to the effective date of Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-09, Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606). Reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of the original date, or take advantage of a one-year delay. For a public entity, the revised effective date is for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted prior to the original effective date. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015,January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-16,2016-01, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The guidance in this update eliminatesmakes changes to the requirementcurrent GAAP model primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to restate prior periodthe valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The accounting for other financial statementsinstruments, such as loans, investments in debt securities, and financial liabilities is largely unchanged. The treatment of gains and losses for measurement period adjustments.all equity securities, including those without a readily determinable market value, is expected to result in additional volatility in the income statement, with the loss of mark to market via equity for these investments. Additionally, changes in the allowable method for determining the fair value of financial instruments in the financial statement footnotes (“exit price” only), will likely require changes to current methodologies of determining these vales, and how they are disclosed in the financial statement footnotes. The new guidance requires thatstandard applies to public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (includingCompany’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified.FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new guidance is intended to reduce complexity in financial reporting. The elimination of the restatement requirement should simplify financial reporting for many entities. However, recognizing the entire impact of a measurement period adjustment in a single reporting period may introduce earnings volatility and reduce comparability between periods when the adjustments are material. The accounting changes in this update is meant to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. All leases create an asset and a liability for the lessee in accordance with FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, and, therefore, recognition of those lease assets and lease liabilities represents an improvement over previous GAAP, which did not require lease assets and lease liabilities to be recognized for most leases. Disclosures are effectiverequired by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. To meet that objective, qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures are required. The new standard applies to public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is still evaluating the effect of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The guidance involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard applies to public companiesbusiness entities for annual periods and thebeginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early applicationwith early adoption permitted. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The Company is permitted for financial statements that have not been issued, andstill evaluating the Company has elected to adopteffect of this guidance on the guidance effective September 30, 2015. See Note 2. “Business Combination” to ourCompany’s consolidated financial statements for further discussion.statements.

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

OVERVIEW
The Company provides financial services to individuals, businesses, governmental units and institutional customers located primarily in the upper Midwest, through its two bank subsidiaries.subsidiary. MidWestOne Bank has office locations in central and east-central Iowa, whilethe Twin Cities area of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida. On April 2, 2016, MidWestOne Bank merged with Central Bank, haswhich was the Company’s subsidiary bank following the Company’s merger with Central. Central Bank had office locations in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida. MidWestOne Insurance Services, Inc. provides personal and business insurance services in Iowa. MidWestOne Bank and Central Bank areis 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 MidWestOne Bank administers estates, personal trusts, conservatorships, and pension and profit-sharing accounts along with providing brokerage and other investment management services to customers.
We operate as an independent community banksbank that offeroffers a broad range of customer-focused financial services as an alternative to large regional banks in our market area. Management has invested in infrastructure and staffing to support our strategy of serving the financial needs of businesses, individuals and municipalities in our market area. We focus our efforts on core deposit generation, especially transaction accounts, and quality loan growth with an emphasis on growing commercial loan balances. We seek to maintain a disciplined pricing strategy on deposit generation that will allow us to compete for high quality loans while maintaining an appropriate spread over funding costs.
Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income on our earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense paid on our deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by non-interest income and expense, the provision for loan losses and income tax expense. Significant external factors that impact our results of operations include general economic and competitive conditions, as well as changes in market interest rates, government policies, and actions of regulatory authorities.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and with the statistical information and financial data appearing in this report as well as our 20142015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of operations for the three- and nine-month periodsperiod ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results to be attained for any other period.
Merger with Central Bancshares, Inc.
On May 1, 2015, the Company completed the Central merger, pursuant to which Central was merged with and into the Company. In connection with the merger, Central Bank, a Minnesota-chartered commercial bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Central, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Company issued 2,723,083 shares of common stock and paid $64.0 million in cash, for total estimated consideration of $141.9 million, in connection with the merger. The results of operations acquired from Central have been included in the Company’s results of operations for the time period since the date of acquisition.
Sale of Ottumwa, Iowa MidWestOne Bank Branch Office
On September 10, 2015, MidWestOne Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement to sell its Ottumwa, Iowa branch to Peoples State Bank headquartered in Albia, Iowa, a unit of Peoples Tri-County BanCorp. Subject to regulatory approval, Peoples State Bank will assume approximately $35 million in deposits and $20 million in assets, with an expected completion date in December 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the following criticalCritical accounting policies and practices relativeestimates are those which are both most important to the reportingportrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and financial condition. Theserequire our management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policiesestimates relate to the allowance for loan losses, 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 our estimatesecurities, all of probable incurred credit losses in our loan portfolio. In evaluating our loan portfolio, we take into consideration numerous factors, including current economic conditions, prior loan loss experience,

39


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 our 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 appropriate allowance for loan losses. In the event that our evaluation of the level of the allowance for loan losses indicates that it is inadequate, we would need to increase our provision for loan losses. We believe the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2015, was adequate to absorb probable losses in the existing portfolio.
Application of Purchase Accounting
In May 2015, we completed the acquisition of Central, which generatedinvolve significant amounts of fair value adjustments to assets and liabilities and related amortization. The fair value adjustments assigned to assets and liabilities, 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. Useful lives are determined based on the expected future period of the benefit of the asset or liability, the assessment of which considers various characteristics of the asset or liability, 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, we have identified purchase accounting as aInformation about our critical accounting policy.
Goodwillestimates is included under Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Intangible Assets
GoodwillAnalysis of Financial Condition and intangible assets arise from purchase business combinations. In May 2015, we completedResults of Operations" in our merger with Central. We were deemed to beAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the purchaser for accounting purposes and thus recognized goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with the merger. The goodwill was assigned to our Central Bank reporting unit. 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. The intangible assets reflected on our financial statements are deposit premium, insurance agency, trade name, and customer list intangibles. The establishment and subsequent amortization, when required by the accounting standards, 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. Periodically 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. 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. See Note 7. “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information related to our intangible assets.
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.’’ Declines in the fair value of available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed “other-than-temporary” are reflected in earnings as impairment losses. In determining whether other-than-temporary impairment exists, management considers whether: (1) we have the intent to sell the security, (2) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis, and (3) we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. When we determine that other-than-temporary-impairment has occurred, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether we intend to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI recognized in earnings is equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If we do not intend to sell the security, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI is separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, using the original yield as the discount rate, and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment. The assessment of whether an OTTI exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at the time.year ended December 31, 2015.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest income and fees earned on earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate levels and volume fluctuations within earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income. Net interest margin is net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets.
Certain assets with tax favorable treatment are evaluated on a tax-equivalent basis. Tax-equivalent basis assumes a federal income tax rate of 35%. Tax favorable assets generally have lower contractual pretax yields than fully taxable assets. A tax-equivalent analysis is performed by adding the tax savings to the earnings on tax-favorable assets. After factoring in the tax-favorable effects of these assets, the yields may be more appropriately evaluated against alternative earning assets. In addition to yield, various other risks are factored into the evaluation process.
Our net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 increased $12.8$11.3 million, or 94.1%79.4%, to $26.3$25.6 million from $13.6$14.2 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2014,2015, primarily due to the merger.merger with Central. An increase in average loan balances, a 5321 basis point increase in average yield, and the effect of the merger-related discount accretion of $1.7$1.2 million resulted in loan interest income increasing by $14.5$12.5 million, or 119.7%99.7%, to $26.7$25.1 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 20152016 compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2014.2015. Income from investment securities decreasedincreased to $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $3.3 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2015, compared to $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2014, reflective of a decreasean increase of 0.21%$41.6 million in the average yield onbalance of investment securities between the two comparable periods, and despite an increasea decrease of $9.7 million21 basis points in the average balance of investment securities.yield. There was no income from loan pool participations for the thirdfirst quarter of 2015,2016, compared to $0.3$0.6 million for the same period a year ago. The Company sold its remaining loan pool participations in June 2015, and has completely exited this line of business.

Interest expense increased $1.2$0.7 million, or 50.6%30.8%, to $3.7$2.9 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2015,2016, compared to $2.4$2.2 million for the same period in 2014,2015, primarily due to the additional cost of merger-related assumptions of deposits and debt partially offsetand by the loweran increased expense on Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”)FHLB borrowings which resulted from the decreaseincrease of $20.8$42.6 million, or 20.3%49.9%, in the average balance of FHLB borrowings between thirdfirst quarter of 20142015 and the thirdfirst quarter of 2015.2016, despite a decrease of 48 basis points in average rate.
Our net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the thirdfirst quarter of 20152016 improved to 4.08%3.97% compared with 3.48%3.72% for the thirdfirst quarter of 2014.2015. Net interest margin is a measure of the net return on interest-earning assets and is computed by dividing annualized net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis by the average of total interest-earning assets for the period. Our overall yield on earning assets increased to 4.62%4.41% for the thirdfirst quarter of 20152016 from 4.06%4.26% for the thirdfirst quarter of 2014.2015. This improvement was due primarily to the increase in average loan balances, as loans generally have higher yields compared to other earning assets, and the effect of the merger-related discount accretion of $1.7$1.2 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2015.2016. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased slightly in the thirdfirst quarter of 20152016 to 0.69%0.56% from 0.71%0.67% for the thirdfirst quarter of 2014.2015.

The following table sets forth an analysis of volume and rate changes in interest income and interest expense on our average earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities during the three months ended September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2014,2015, reported on a fully tax-equivalent basis assuming a 35% 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.

Percentage increase in net interest income over prior period    88.3%    74.8%
Interest income and fees on loans on a tax-equivalent basis in the thirdfirst quarter of 20152016 increased $14.6$12.6 million, or 117.6%98.0%, compared with the same period in 2014.2015. This increase includes the effect of the merger-related accretion income of $1.7$1.2 million on loans. Average loans were $1.03$1.01 billion, or 94.8%87.8%, higher in the thirdfirst quarter of 20152016 compared with the thirdfirst quarter of 2014,2015, due primarily to the merger with Central. In addition to purchase accounting adjustments, the yield on our loan portfolio is affected by the amount of nonaccrual loans (which do not earn interest income), the mix of the portfolio (real estate loans generally have a lower overall yield than commercial and agricultural loans), the effects of competition and the interest rate environment on the amounts and volumes of new loan originations, and the mix of variable-rate versus fixed-rate loans in our portfolio. While the increase in interest income on loans was primarily the result of the larger loan portfolio, the average yield on loans increased from 4.53% in the third quarter of 2014 to 5.06% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2015 to 4.74% in the first quarter of 2016, which 31 basis points was primarily attributable to purchase accounting adjustments and the remainder to market conditions in the areas served by Central Bank, which allow for somewhat higher loan rates.
Interest and discount income on loan pool participations decreased $0.3$0.6 million, or 100.0%, from $0.3$0.6 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 20142015 to nonezero in the same period of 2015.2016. The Company entered into this business upon consummation of a prior merger in March 2008. These loan pool participations were investments in pools of performing, subperforming and nonperforming loans purchased at varying discounts to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the underlying loans. The loan pool participations were held and serviced by a third-party independent servicing corporation, and the amount of income received from them varied widely due to unpredictable payment collections and loss recoveries. The Company sold its remaining loan pool participations in the second quarter of 2015.
Interest income on investment securities on a tax-equivalent basis totaled $4.0$4.1 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 20152016 compared with $4.2$4.0 million for the same period of 2014,2015, including $0.1 million of purchase accounting premium amortization expense in 2015.2016. The tax-equivalent yield on our investment portfolio in the thirdfirst quarter of 20152016 decreased to 2.98%3.10% from 3.19%3.31% in the comparable period of 2014, reflecting2015, partially due to a decline of 87 basis points attributable to premium amortization from the acquisition of the Central portfolio at fair value on May 1, 2015. The average balance of investments in the thirdfirst quarter of 2016 was $534.2 million compared with $492.5 million in the first quarter of 2015, was $532.5 million

45


compared with $522.8 million in the third quarter of 2014, an increase of $9.7$41.6 million, or 1.8%8.5%. The increase in

average balance resulted primarily from the merger, despite using proceeds from the pre-merger sale and maturity of securities to pay the cash portion of the merger consideration for the closing of the Central acquisition.
Interest expense on deposits increased $1.1$0.4 million, or 61.4%20.4%, in the thirdfirst quarter of 20152016 compared with the same period in 2014,2015, primarily due to the addition of over $1.0 billion of deposits resulting from the Central merger. The weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 0.61%0.44% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2015, the same as2016, compared with 0.59% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2014.2015. This decrease includes the effect of the merger-related premium amortization of $0.4 million on certificates of deposit, which served to decrease deposit interest expense. Average interest-bearing deposits for the thirdfirst quarter of 20152016 increased $708.5$698.9 million compared with the same period in 2014,2015, due primarily to the merger.
Interest expense on borrowed funds of $0.7$0.9 million was $0.1$0.3 million higher in the thirdfirst quarter of 20152016 compared with the same period in 2014,2015, due primarily to increased balances. Average borrowed funds for the thirdfirst quarter of 20152016 were $28.5$70.2 million higher compared with the same period in 2014.2015. This increase was primarily due to the borrowing of $25.0 million in new long-term debt as well as $21.6 million of subordinated notes assumed in connection with the merger in the second quarter of 2015, and despitealong with the $20.8$42.6 million decreaseincrease in the average level of FHLB borrowing, and repayment of $12.3 million of subordinated debt assumed in the merger in the second quarter of 2015.borrowing. The weighted average rate on borrowed funds increased to 1.46%1.44% for the thirdfirst quarter of 20152016 compared with 1.42%1.24% for the thirdfirst quarter of 2014,2015, reflecting the increased cost of new debt relative to that of pre-merger debt, and the 4 basis point impact of purchase accounting adjustments.debt.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is a current charge against income and represents an amount which management believes is sufficient to maintain an adequate allowance for known and probable losses. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers the size and quality of the loan portfolio measured against prevailing economic conditions, regulatory guidelines, historical loan loss experience and credit quality of the portfolio. When a determination is made by management to charge off a loan balance, such write-off is charged against the allowance for loan losses.
We recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $2.0 million, from $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increased provision reflects primarily the increase in outstanding loan balances in the third quarter of 2015. Net loans charged off in the third quarter of 2015 totaled $0.4 million, compared to $0.1 million net loans charged off in the third quarter of 2014. We determine an appropriate provision based on our evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in relationship to a continuing review of problem loans, current economic conditions, actual loss experience and industry trends. We believe that the allowance for loan losses was adequate based on the inherent risk in the portfolio as of September 30, 2015; 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 additional provisions in future periods as deemed necessary.
Sensitive assets include nonaccrual loans, loans on MidWestOne Bank’s and Central Bank’s watch loan reports and other loans identified as having higher potential for loss. We review sensitive assets on at least a quarterly basis for changes in the customers’ ability to pay and changes in the valuation of underlying collateral in order to estimate probable losses. We also periodically review a watch loan list which is comprised of loans that have been restructured or involve customers in industries which have been adversely affected by market conditions. The majority of these loans are being repaid in conformance with their contracts.

Total noninterest income for the third quarter of 2015 increased to $5.5 million, up $1.5 million, or 36.3%, from $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2014, due primarily to the merger. The increase was primarily in other service charges, commissions and fees, which increased by $0.7 million, or 119.4%, from $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 to $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2015. Mortgage origination and loan servicing fees rose $0.6 million, or 128.3%, from $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2014 to $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2015. Noninterest income in the third quarter of 2015 was also driven by an increase in service charges and fees on deposit accounts of $0.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2014. The noted increases were partially offset by decreased gains on the sale of available for sale securities of $0.1 million.
Management’s strategic goal is for noninterest income to constitute 25% of total revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income excluding gain/loss on securities and premises and equipment and impairment of investment securities) over time. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, noninterest income comprised 17.2% of total revenues, compared with 22.1% for the same period in 2014. With the recent acquisition of Central Bank, management expects to see gradual improvement in this ratio in future periods.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2015 was $19.9 million, up $9.1 million, or 84.1%, from the third quarter of 2014. The increase was mainly due to expenses relating to the Central merger, and the increased size of the Company following the merger. Salaries and employee benefits increased $5.4 million, or 85.6%, between the third quarter of 2014 and the third quarter of 2015 mainly as a result of the increase in the number of employees as a result of the merger. Likewise, net occupancy and equipment expense increased $1.2 million, or 75.9%, from $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2014 to $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2015 mainly due to the merger. Merger-related expenses were $0.2 million, the majority of which were professional fees expense, which increased $0.2 million, or 32.5%, for the third quarter of 2015, compared with the third quarter of 2014. Other operating expense for the third quarter of 2015 increased $0.8 million, or 56.6%, compared with the third quarter of 2014, primarily due to the merger.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective income tax rate, or income taxes divided by income before taxes, was 21.8% for the third quarter of 2015, which was lower than the effective tax rate of 26.0% for the third quarter of 2014. Income tax expense was $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to $1.7 million for the same period of 2014. The primary reason for the decrease in the tax rate is due to the partial recognition of rehabilitation and historic tax credits on the Company’s headquarters building in the amount of $1.3 million ($1.0 million after tax) in the third quarter of 2015 that were not present in the third quarter of 2014. The primary reason for the increase in income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in the level of taxable income between the comparable periods due to the merger.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014
Summary
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we earned net income of $16.9 million, compared with $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of 15.5%. Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the first nine months of 2015 were $1.69 and $1.68, respectively, versus $1.74 and $1.73, respectively, in the first nine months of 2014. After excluding the effects of $3.4 million ($2.9 million after tax) of expenses related to the merger with Central, adjusted diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2015 were $1.97. Our annualized ROAA for the first nine months of 2015 was 0.85% compared with 1.12% for the same period in 2014. Our annualized ROAE was 9.29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 versus 10.58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The annualized ROATE was 13.52% for the first nine months of 2015 compared with 11.29% for the same period in 2014.

Net Interest Income
Our net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $63.3 million, $22.3 million, or 54.6%, greater than our net interest income reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to the merger. Our total interest income of $71.7 million was $23.6 million higher in the first nine months of 2015 compared with the same period in 2014. The increase in total interest income was driven by increases in interest and fees on loans, partially offset by lower income on investment securities. Income from loans increased from $36.1 million in the first nine months of 2014 to $61.0 million in the first nine months of 2015 due to a merger-related higher average loan balance and despite a lower yield, which includes the effect of the merger-related discount accretion of $3.0 million. Income from loan pool participations declined from $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Company exited this line of business during the second quarter of 2015. Interest income on investment securities decreased $1.0 million, or 8.9%, to $9.9 million for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the first nine months of 2014. The decrease was primarily due to a lower yield on the investment securities during the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period of 2014, and the impact of $0.2 million of purchase accounting expense in the 2015 number, despite a higher average balance of investment securities.
Total interest expense for the first nine months of 2015 increased $1.2 million, or 17.0%, compared with the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to the additional cost of merger-related assumptions of deposits and debt, partially offset by the lower expense on Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings which resulted from the decrease of $19.4 million, or 18.3%, in the average balance of FHLB advances between first nine months of 2014 and the first nine months of 2015. There was merger-related amortization of the purchase accounting premium on certificates of deposit of $0.6 million in the first nine months of 2015.
Our net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the first nine months of 2015 improved to 3.67% compared with 3.55% for the first nine months of 2014. Net interest margin is a measure of the net return on interest-earning assets and is computed by dividing annualized net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis by the average of total interest-earning assets for the period. Our overall yield on earning assets was 4.13% for the first nine months of 2015, equal to the first nine months of 2014. This was despite the inclusion of $3.0 million of merger-related discount accretion income for loans in the first nine months of 2015. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased in the first nine months of 2015 to 0.59% from 0.71% for the first nine months of 2014, due primarily to the lower cost of deposit funds in the areas served by Central Bank, and the inclusion of $0.6 million of merger-related amortization of the purchase accounting premium on certificates of deposit in the first nine months of 2015.

The following table sets forth an analysis of volume and rate changes in interest income and interest expense on our average earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014, reported on a fully tax-equivalent basis assuming a 35% tax rate. The table distinguishes between the changes related to average outstanding balances (changes in volume holding the initial interest rate constant) and the changes related to average interest rates (changes in average rate holding the initial outstanding balance constant). The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Interest income and fees on loans on a tax-equivalent basis increased $25.1 million, or 67.9%, in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. This increase reflects the effect of the merger-related accretion of $3.0 million of discount on loans. The increase is mainly due to an increase in average loans balances of $774.1 million, or 71.3%, in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, primarily resulting from the merger. Despite the 22 basis point augmentation of yield due to the merger-related discount accretion, the yield on loans decreased from 4.56% in the first nine months of 2014 to 4.46% in the same period of 2015. The yield on our loan portfolio is affected by the amount of nonaccrual loans (which do not earn interest income), the mix of the portfolio (real estate loans generally have a lower overall yield than commercial and agricultural loans), the effects of competition and the interest rate environment on the amounts and volumes of new loan originations, and the mix of variable-rate versus fixed-rate loans in our portfolio.
Interest and discount income on loan pool participations was $0.8 million for the first nine months of 2015, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 29.8% from $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2014. Average loan pool participations were $11.6 million, or 46.4%, lower in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The Company sold its remaining loan pool participations in the second quarter of 2015.
Interest income on investment securities on a tax-equivalent basis totaled $12.1 million in the first nine months of 2015 compared with $13.0 million for the same period of 2014, reflecting $0.2 million of purchase accounting premium amortization expense, coupled with lower yields on investment securities. The tax-equivalent yield on our investment portfolio for the first nine months of 2015 decreased to 2.99% from 3.26% in the comparable period of 2014, with 5 basis points of the decrease being attributable to purchase accounting. The average balance of investments in the first nine months of 2015 was $538.8 million compared with $532.5 million in the first nine months of 2014, an increase of $6.3 million, or 1.2%. The increase in average balance resulted primarily from investments assumed in the merger, and was despite a decrease in securities from the sale and maturity of investment securities during the first five months of 2015 to pay the cash portion of the merger consideration for the closing of the merger with Central.

51


Interest expense on deposits was $6.3 million for the first nine months of 2015 compared with $5.2 million for the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily due to average interest-bearing deposits for the first nine months of 2015 increasing $544.7 million, or 46.8%, compared with the same period in 2014, due primarily to the merger.
The weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 0.49% for the first nine months of 2015 compared with 0.60% for the first nine months of 2014. This decline reflects the merger-related amortization of the purchase accounting premium on certificates of deposit in the amount of $0.6 million, which reduced the average cost of deposits by 5 basis points for the first nine months of 2015.
Interest expense on borrowed funds in the first nine months of 2015 was $2.1 million, compared with $1.9 million for the same period in 2014. Average borrowed funds for the first nine months of 2015 were $12.9 million higher compared with the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily due to the borrowing of $25.0 million in new long-term debt as well as $21.6 million of subordinated notes assumed in the merger during the second quarter of 2015, and despite the $19.4 million decrease in the average level of FHLB borrowings for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the first nine months of 2014. The weighted average rate on borrowed funds decreased to 1.42% for the first nine months of 2015 compared with 1.44% for the first nine months of 2014, reflecting the increased cost of new debt relative to that of pre-merger debt, and the 3 basis point impact of purchase accounting adjustments.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is a current charge against income and represents an amount which management believes is sufficient to maintain an adequate allowance for known and probable losses. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers the size and quality of the loan portfolio measured against prevailing economic conditions, regulatory guidelines, historical loan loss experience and credit quality of the portfolio. When a determination is made by management to charge off a loan balance, such write-off is charged against the allowance for loan losses.
We recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.6$1.1 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 2015, $2.72016, an increase of $0.5 million, or 304.7%, more than the $0.9from $0.6 million provision in the first nine monthsquarter of 2014.2015. The increased provision reflects primarily the increase in outstanding loan balances due to new originations since the merger, as purchased loans acquired in the merger were recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date without a carryoverfirst quarter of 2016, compared to the related allowance for loan losses.first quarter of 2015. Net loans charged off in the first nine monthsquarter of 20152016 totaled $1.1$0.2 million, compared with $0.6to $0.4 million net loans charged off in the first nine monthsquarter of 2014.2015. We determine an appropriate provision based on our evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in relationship to a continuing review of problem loans, current economic conditions, actual loss experience and industry trends. We believe that the allowance for loan losses was adequate based on the inherent risk in the portfolio as of March 31, 2016; 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 additional provisions in future periods as deemed necessary.
Sensitive assets include nonaccrual loans, loans on MidWestOne Bank’s and, prior to the merger, Central Bank’s, watch loan reports and other loans identified as having higher potential for loss. We review sensitive assets on at least a quarterly basis for changes in the customers’ ability to pay and changes in the valuation of underlying collateral in order to estimate probable losses. We also periodically review a watch loan list which is comprised of loans that have been restructured or involve customers in industries which have been adversely affected by market conditions. The majority of these loans are being repaid in conformance with their contracts.

Total loans (excluding loan pool participations and loans held for sale) increased $1.00 billion,$20.4 million, or 88.7%1.0%, from December 31, 2014,2015, to $2.14$2.17 billion at September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, primarily as a result of the merger. While all loan categories saw increased balances, the increases weredue to new originations. The increase was primarily concentrated in commercial real estate-other, one-to-four-family first liens, and commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by decreases in one- to four- family first liens and construction and development loans. As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the largest category of bank loans was commercial real estate loans, comprising approximately 46%47% of the portfolio, which included 4% of total loans being farmland, 5% being construction and development, and 5%6% being multifamily residential mortgages.mortgages, and 32% being other commercial real estate. Residential real estate loans was the next largest category at 25%24% of total loans, followed by commercial and industrial loans at 21%22%, agricultural loans at 6%, and consumer loans at 2%. The Company also held $26.3$24.5 million net of a discount of $8.0$6.8 million, or 1.2%1.1% of the total loan portfolio, in purchased credit impaired loans as a result of the merger.

We anticipate that the loan to deposit ratio will remain relatively stable in future periods, with both loans and deposits increasing in the post-merger environment.periods.
We have minimal direct exposure to subprime mortgages in our loan portfolio. Our loan policy provides a guideline that real estate mortgage borrowers have a Beacon score of 640 or greater. Exceptions to this guideline have been noted but the overall exposure is deemed minimal by management. Mortgages we originate and sell on the secondary market are typically underwritten according to the guidelines of secondary market investors. These mortgages are sold on a non-recourse basis.
Loan Pool Participations
As of September 30, 2015, we had no loan pool participations, net, down from $19.3 million at December 31, 2014. This decrease was due to the sale of the complete investment to an unaffiliated purchaser during the second quarter of 2015, with a net loss on the sale of $0.4 million.

This increasedecrease was primarily due to the mergersale of the Rice Lake and Barron, Wisconsin branch buildings and associated furniture, fixtures, and equipment, combined with Central as well as twonormal depreciation expense of $1.1 million. These decreases were partially offset by the ongoing major construction projects, bothproject involving the main office of MidWestOne Bank and headquarters of the Company in our Iowa City, market. As part of the merger with Central we acquired 13 banking locations in Minnesota, 7 banking locations in Wisconsin, and 2 banking locations in Florida.Iowa. In August 2013, we entered into a contract for the restoration and remodeling of the building, which serves as the main office of MidWestOne Bank and headquarters of the Company. Thewith an estimated cost of the restoration and remodeling isof $13.8 million, and it isan anticipated that the project will be completedcompletion in April 2016. In December 2013, we entered into a contract for the constructionAs of a new Home Mortgage Center withMarch 31, 2016, an estimated cost of design and construction of $16.0 million, and with completion anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2015. As of September 30, 2015, an estimated $4.6$1.9 million remained to be paid on these contracts.this contract. We expect the balance of premises and equipment to continue risingstabilize and then begin declining in the future as these projects progress towardsthis project reaches completion in the remainder of 2015 and 2016.

Not included in the loans above as of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, were purchased credit impaired loans with an outstanding balance of $34.3$4.5 million, net of a discount of $8.0$1.8 million.
Our nonperforming assets totaled $21.1$30.5 million as of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, an increase of $6.1$10.1 million, or 41.0%49.8%, from December 31, 2014, with the increase principally driven by OREO acquired through the merger.2015. The balance of OREO at September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 was $8.3$6.2 million, an increasea decrease of $6.4$2.6 million, from $1.9$8.8 million of OREO at December 31, 2014.2015. All of the OREO property was acquired through foreclosures, and we are actively working to sell all properties held as of September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. OREO is carried at appraised value less estimated cost of disposal at the date of acquisition. Additional discounts could be

required to market and sell the properties, resulting in a write down through expense. Nonperforming

loans totaled $12.8$24.3 million (0.60%(1.12% of total loans) as of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, compared to $13.0$11.5 million (1.15%(0.54% of total loans) as of December 31, 2014.2015.
At September 30,March 31, 2016, nonperforming loans increased from $11.5 million, or 0.54% of total loans, at December 31, 2015, to $24.3 million, or 1.12% of total loans, at March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2016, nonperforming loans consisted of $5.1$16.5 million in nonaccrual loans, $7.5$7.3 million in troubled debt restructures (“TDRs”) and $0.1$0.5 million in loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing. This compares to nonaccrual loans of $3.3$4.0 million, TDRs of $8.9$7.2 million, and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing of $0.8$0.3 million at December 31, 2014.2015. Nonaccrual loans increased by $12.5 million between March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 due primarily to the addition of one commercial loan customer with four loans totaling $10.4 million. The decreaseincrease in overall nonperforming loansTDRs was primarily due tothe addition of three loans totaling $0.2 million, partially offset by payments collected from TDR-status borrowers. Loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest decreased $0.7increased $0.2 million between December 31, 20142015 and September 30, 2015, while nonaccrual loans increased by $1.9 million between these dates.March 31, 2016. Loans past due 30 to 89 days and still accruing interest (not included in the nonperforming loan totals) were $13.5increased to $9.2 million at September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, compared with $3.9$8.5 million at December 31, 2014, primarily due to the merger.2015. At September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, other real estate owned (not included in nonperforming loans) was $8.3$6.2 million, updown from $1.9$8.8 million of other real estate owned at December 31, 2014, again, as a result of the merger.2015. During the first ninethree months of 2015,2016, the Company added 69had a net decrease of 10 properties toin other real estate owned, all as a result of the merger, and had 15 real estate property sales.owned. As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the allowance for bank loan losses was $18.9$20.2 million, or 0.88%0.93% of total loans, compared with $16.4$19.4 million, or 1.44%0.90% of total loans, at December 31, 2014. The decrease in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was due to the purchased loans acquired in the merger being recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date without a carryover of the related allowance for loan losses.2015. The allowance for loan losses represented 147.79%83.2% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, compared with 125.67%168.5% of nonperforming bank loans at December 31, 2014.2015.

Loan Review and Classification Process for Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial, and Commercial Real Estate Loans at MidWestOne Bank:
MidWestOneBank maintains a loan review and classification process which involves multiple officers of MidWestOneBank and is designed to assess the general quality of credit underwriting and to promote early identification of potential problem loans. All commercial and agricultural loan officers are charged with the responsibility of risk rating all loans in their portfolios and updating the ratings, positively or negatively, on an ongoing basis as conditions warrant. A monthly loan officer validation worksheet documents this process. Risk ratings are selected from an 8-point scale with ratings as follows: ratings 1- 4 Satisfactory (pass), rating 5 Watch (potential weakness), rating 6 Substandard (well-defined weakness), rating 7 Doubtful, and rating 8 Loss.
When a loan officer originates a new loan, based upon proper loan authorization, he or she documents the credit file with an offering sheet summary, supplemental underwriting analysis, relevant financial information and collateral evaluations. All of this information is used in the determination of the initial loan risk rating. MidWestOneBank’s loan review department undertakes independent credit reviews of relationships based on either criteria established by loan policy, risk-focused sampling, or random sampling. Loan policy requires the top 50all lending relationships bywith total exposure of $5.0 million or more as well as all classified and Watch rated credits over $250,000$1.0 million be reviewed no less than annually. The individual loan reviews consider such items as: loan type; nature, type and estimated value of collateral; borrower and/or guarantor estimated financial strength; most recently available financial information; related loans and total borrower exposure; and current/anticipated performance of the loan. The results of such reviews are presented to executive management.
Through the review of delinquency reports, updated financial statements or other relevant information, the lending officer and/or loan review personnel may determine that a loan relationship has weakened to the point that a criticized (loan grade 5) or classified (loan grades 6 through 8) status is warranted. When a loan relationship with total related exposure of $1.0 million or greater is adversely graded (5 or above), or is classified as a TDR (regardless of size), the lending officer is then charged with preparing a loan strategy summary worksheet that outlines the background of the credit problem, current repayment status of the loans, current collateral evaluation and a workout plan of action. This plan may include goals to improve the credit rating, assist the borrower in moving the loans to another institution and/or collateral liquidation. All such reports are first presented to regional management and then to the board of directors of MidWestOneBank by the Executive Vice President, Chief Credit Officer (or a designee) of MidWestOneBank.
Depending upon the individual facts and circumstances and the result of the Classified/Watch review process, loan officers and/or loan review personnel may categorize the loan relationship as impaired. Once that determination has occurred, the loan officer, in conjunction with regional management, will complete an evaluation of the collateral (for collateral-dependent loans) based upon the estimated collateral value, adjusting for current market conditions and other local factors that may affect collateral value. Loan review personnel may also complete an independent impairment analysis when deemed necessary. These judgmental evaluations may produce an initial specific allowance for placement in the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses calculation. As soon as practical, an updated value estimate of the collateral backing that impaired loan relationship is completed.

57


After the updated value is determined, regional management, with assistance from the loan review department, reviews the valuation

and updates the specific allowance analysis for each loan relationship accordingly. The board of directors of MidWestOneBank on a quarterly basis reviews the Classified/Watch reports including changes in credit grades of 5 or higher as well as all impaired loans, the related allowances and OREO.
In general, once the specific allowance has been finalized, regional and executive management will consider a charge-offchargeoff prior to the calendar quarter-end in which that reserve calculation is finalized.
The review process also provides for the upgrade of loans that show improvement since the last review. All requests for an upgrade of a credit are approved by loan strategy committee before the rating can be changed.
Loan Review and Classification Process for Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial, and Commercial Real Estate Loans at Central Bank:
Prior to the bank merger on April 2, 2016, Central Bank hashad a loan classification process that startsstarted with the relationship managers who arewere ultimately responsible for properly risk rating the loans in their portfolio. A 9 point scale iswas used with ratings 1-5 as pass; 6 watch (potential weakness); 7 substandard (well defined weakness); 8 Doubtful and 9 Loss. When a loan officer originatesoriginated a new loan, renewsrenewed an existing loan or performsperformed an annual review, either a loan presentation or a summary comment iswas created which summarizessummarized the current financial condition of that customer. A formal evaluation of its risk rating iswas done at thisthat time. The lender iswas also responsible for monitoring their portfolio throughout the course of the year and proactively reacting to changing conditions by making any risk rating adjustments.
On a bi-monthly basis the Chief Executive Officer of Central Bank, Chief Credit Officer of Central Bank and Senior Vice President of Special Assets of Central Bank meetmet with each Market President and reviewreviewed their watch list, past due report and past due real estate taxes report. The action plans for watch list credits arewere reviewed at these meetings and adjustments arewere made as needed. Each watch list credit iswas labeled either “Retain” or “Exit” with those labeled “Exit” transferred to special assets. On a monthly basis the board of directors of Central Bank reviews:reviewed: a watch list containing watch list credits greater than $500,000; a summary report of loans removed from the watch list; and a summary report of any additions to the list.
Central Bank engagesengaged an outside consultant to conduct independent credit reviews of relationships based on criteria established by policy, risk-focused sampling or random sampling. The individual loan reviews considerconsidered borrower and/or guarantor financial strength, most recently available financial information, current/anticipated performance of the loan, appropriateness of credit risk grading, compliance with loan approval requirements, and completeness of loan and collateral documentation. The results of credit reviews arewere presented to management.
Each 7 rated credit iswas reviewed for impairment. If the loan iswas determined to be impaired an impairment worksheet iswas completed which focusesfocused on updating the collateral values based on the current market conditions. These worksheets arewere updated on a quarterly basis by either the lender or analyst and reviewed and compiled by credit administration. Credit administration sendssent the compiled impairment information to the finance department for the allowance calculation.
We anticipate standardizing our loan review and classification process between MidWestOne Bank and Central Bank in the future.
Restructured Loans
We restructure loans for our customers who appear to be able to meet the terms of their loan over the long term, but who may be unable to meet the terms of the loan in the near term due to individual circumstances. We consider the customer’s past performance, previous and current credit history, the individual circumstances surrounding the current difficulties and their plan to meet the terms of the loan in the future prior to restructuring the terms of the loan. The following factors are indicators that a concession has been granted (one or multiple items may be present):
The borrower receives a reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt.
The borrower receives an extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market interest rate for new debt with similar risk characteristics.
The borrower receives a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement.
The borrower receives a deferral of required payments (principal and/or interest).
The borrower receives a reduction of the accrued interest.

58


Generally, loans are restructured through short-term interest rate relief, short-term principal payment relief or short-term principal and interest payment relief. Once a restructured loan has gone 90 days or more past due or is placed on nonaccrual status, it is included in the 90 days and over past due or nonaccrual totals in the previous table.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the Company restructured one loanthree loans by granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties.
A loan classified as a troubled debt restructuring will no longer be included in the troubled debt restructuring disclosures in the periods after the restructuring if the loan performs in accordance with the terms specified by the restructuring agreement and the interest rate specified in the restructuring agreement represents a market rate at the time of modification. The specified interest rate is considered a market rate when the interest rate is equal to or greater than the rate the Company is willing to accept at the time of restructuring for a new loan with comparable risk. If there are concerns that the borrower will not be able to meet the modified terms of the loan, the loan will continue to be included in the troubled debt restructuring disclosures.
We consider all TDRs, regardless of whether they are performing in accordance with their modified terms, to be impaired loans when determining our allowance for loan losses. A summary of restructured loans as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 20142015 is as follows:

Allowance for Loan Losses
Our ALLL as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 was $18.9$20.2 million, which was 0.88%0.93% of total loans as of that date. This compares with an ALLL of $16.4$19.4 million as of December 31, 2014,2015, which was 1.44%0.90% of total loans (excluding loan pool participations) as of that date. The decrease in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was due to the purchased loans acquired in the merger being recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date without a carryover of the related allowance for loan losses.loans. Gross charge-offs for the first ninethree months of 20152016 totaled $1.5$0.4 million, while recoveries of previously charged-off loans totaled $0.4$0.1 million. Annualized net loan charge offs to average loans for the first ninethree months of 20152016 was 0.08%0.05% compared to 0.09%0.11% for the year ended December 31, 2014.2015. As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the ALLL was 147.8%83.2% of nonperforming loans compared with 125.7%168.5% as of December 31, 2014.2015. Based on the inherent risk in the loan portfolio, we believe that as of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the ALLL was adequate; however, there is no assurance losses will not exceed the allowance, and any growth in the loan portfolio or uncertainty in the general economy may require that management continue to evaluate the adequacy of the ALLL and make additional provisions in future periods as deemed necessary.
There were no changesNon-acquired loans with a balance of $1.43 billion had $19.4 million of the allowance for loan losses allocated to ourthem, providing an allocated allowance for loan loss to non-acquired loan ratio of 1.35%. Non-acquired loans are total loans minus those loans acquired in the Central merger. New loans and loans renewed after the merger are considered non-acquired loans.

As part of the merger between MidWestOne Bank and Central Bank, management developed a single methodology for determining the amount of the ALLL that would be needed at the combined bank. The new methodology is a hybrid of the methods used at MidWestOne Bank and Central Bank prior to the bank merger and the results from the new ALLL model are consistent with the results that the two banks calculated individually.
During the first quarter of 2016 we changed the historical charge-off component of the ALLL calculation to include both Central Bank and MidWestOne Bank in the 20-quarter annual average. A separate qualitative factor table is now being maintained for each region it services (Iowa, Minnesota/Wisconsin, and Florida), all with a similar methodology, duringbut adjusted based on the economic/business conditions in each region. Loans below $250,000 continue to be evaluated solely based on delinquency status, but no longer receive an increased allocation of between 25% and 50% of the loss given default. Instead they receive the normal ASC 450 allocation based on the type of loan and the risk rating. To streamline the ALLL process, a number of low-balance loan types that do not have a material impact on the overall calculation are now excluded. As of the first nine monthsquarter 2016, overdrafts are no longer included in the ALLL calculation. Additionally, the guaranteed portion of 2015.government guaranteed loans is no longer being adjusted out of the calculation, and as a result, the entire loan balance is subject to reserve requirements. Special mention/watch and substandard rated credits not individually reviewed for impairment previously received an allocation of 2 and 6 times respectively of the pass allocation. Due to the inherent risks associated with special mention/watch risk rated loans (i.e. early stages of financial deterioration, technical exceptions, etc.), this subset is reserved at a level that will cover losses above a pass

allocation for loans that had a loss in the last 20 quarters in which the loan was risk rated special mention/watch at the time of the loss. Substandard loans carry exponentially greater risk than special mention/watch loans, and as such, this subset is reserved at a level that covers losses above a pass allocation for loans that had a loss in the last 20 quarters in which the loans was risk rated substandard at the time of the loss. Classified and impaired loans are reviewed per the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 310.
We currently track the loan to value (“LTV”) ratio of loans in our portfolio, and those loans in excess of internal and supervisory guidelines are presented to the respective bank’sBank’s board of directors on a quarterly basis. At September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, there were 1218 owner-occupied 1-4 family loans with a LTV ratio of 100% or greater. In addition, there were 5054 home equity loans without credit enhancement that had a LTV ratio of 100% or greater. We have the first lien on 1928 of these equity loans and other financial institutions have the first lien on the remaining 31.26. Additionally, there were 7063 commercial real estate loans without credit enhancement that exceeded the supervisory LTV guidelinesguidelines.
We review all impaired and nonperforming loans individually on a quarterly basis to determine their level of impairment due to collateral deficiency or insufficient cash-flow based on a discounted cash-flow analysis. At September 30, 2015March 31, 2016, TDRs were not a material portion of the loan portfolio. We review loans 90 days and over past due that are still accruing interest no less than quarterly to determine if there is a strong reason that the credit should not be placed on non-accrual.
Capital Resources
Total shareholders’ equity was $290.7$301.8 million as of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, compared to $192.7$296.2 million as of December 31, 2014,2015, an increase of $97.9$5.6 million, or 50.8%1.9%. This increase was primarily attributable to capital acquired in connection with the Central merger, net income of $16.9$5.5 million for the first ninethree months of 2015, proceeds from the private placement of 300,000 shares of common stock2016, a $1.7 million increase in the amount of $7.9 million net of $0.5 million of expenses,accumulated other comprehensive income due to market value adjustments on investment securities available for sale, and a $0.6$0.3 million decrease in treasury

stock due to the issuance of 28,89216,262 shares of Company common stock in connection with stock compensation plans. These increases were partially offset by the payment of $4.6$1.8 million in common stock dividends and a $0.7 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income due to market value adjustments on investment securities available for sale.dividends. No shares of Company common stock were repurchased in the thirdfirst quarter of 2015.2016.
Total shareholders’ equity was 9.75%10.18% of total assets as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and was 10.71%9.94% of total assets as of December 31, 2014.2015. The ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets was 7.33%7.75% as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and 10.29%7.51% as of December 31, 2014.2015. Our Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 10.56%10.65% as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and was 13.47%10.63% as of December 31, 2014.2015. Risk-based capital guidelines require the classification of assets and some off-balance-sheet items in terms of credit-risk exposure and the measuring of capital as a percentage of the risk-adjusted asset totals. We believe that, as of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the Company and its two bank subsidiaries met all capital adequacy requirements to which we were subject. As of that date, both bank subsidiaries were “well capitalized” under regulatory prompt corrective action provisions.
In July 2013, the U.S. federal banking authoritiesagencies approved the implementation of the Basel III regulatory capital reforms in pertinent part, and, issuedat the same time, promulgated rules (the “Basel III Rules”) effecting certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Basel III Rules”). In contrast to capital requirements historically, which were in the form of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”).guidelines, Basel III was released in the form of regulations by each of the regulatory agencies. The Basel III Rules are applicable to all U.S. banksbanking organizations that are subject to minimum capital requirements, including federal and state banks and savings and loan associations, as well as to bank and savings and loan holding companies, other than “small bank holding companies” (generally non-public bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $1.0 billion)$1 billion which are not publicly traded companies). The Basel III Rules not only increase most of the required minimum regulatory capital ratios, but they also introduce a new Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio and the concept of a capital conservation buffer. The Basel III Rules also expand the definition of capital as in effect previously by establishing criteria that instruments must meet to be considered Additional Tier 1 Capital (Tier 1 Capital in addition to Common Equity) and Tier 2 Capital. A number of instruments that previously generally qualified as Tier 1 Capital now do not qualify, or their qualifications changed. The Basel III Rules also permitted banking organizations with less than $250.0 billion in assets to retain, through a one-time election, the existing treatment for accumulated other comprehensive income, which previously did not affect regulatory capital. The Company elected to retain this treatment, which reduces the volatility of regulatory capital levels. The Basel III Rules have maintained the general structure of the prompt corrective action framework, while incorporating the increased requirements. The prompt corrective action guidelines were also revised to add the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio. In order to be a “well-capitalized” depository institution under the new regime, a bank and holding company must maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio of 6.5% or more; a Tier 1 Capital ratio of 8% or more; a Total Capital ratio of 10% or more; and a leverage ratio of 5% or more. A new capital conservation buffer, comprised of common equity Tier 1 capital, is also established above the regulatory minimum capital requirements. This capital conservation buffer is being phased in, which began January 1, 2016, at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increases each subsequent year by an additional 0.625% until reaching the final level of 2.5% on January 1, 2019. Generally, financial institutions became subject to the new Basel III Rules on January 1, 2015, with phase-in periods for many of the changes.
We have traditionally disclosed certain non-GAAP ratios and amounts to evaluate and measure our financial condition, including our Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio. We believe this ratio provides investors with information regarding our

financial condition and how we evaluate our financial condition internally. The following table provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.

Liquidity
Liquidity management involves meeting the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers. We conduct liquidity management on both a daily and long-term basis, and adjust our investments in liquid assets based on expected loan demand, projected loan maturities and payments, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and the objectives of our asset/liability management program. We had liquid assets (cash and cash equivalents) of $92.3$60.7 million as of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, compared with $23.4$47.1 million as of December 31, 2014.2015. Interest-bearing deposits in banks at September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, increased to $41.2$20.5 million, an increase of $40.8$17.8 million from December 31, 2014.2015. Investment securities classified as available for sale, totaling $415.0$387.5 million and $474.9$427.2 million as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, respectively, could be sold to meet liquidity needs if necessary. Additionally, our bank subsidiaries maintain unsecured lines of credit with several correspondent banks and secured lines with the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window and the FHLB that would allow us to borrow funds on a short-term basis, if necessary. Management believes that the Company had sufficient liquidity as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 to meet the needs of borrowers and depositors.
Our principal sources of funds between December 31, 20142015 and September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 were proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities, proceeds from long-term debt, and the sale of our loan pool participations. The maturity and sale of investment securities and proceeds from long-term debt provided part of the consideration in the merger transaction with Central.FHLB borrowings. While scheduled loan amortization and maturing interest-bearing deposits are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows

61


and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by economic conditions, the general level of interest rates, and competition. We utilize particular sources of funds based on comparative costs and availability. This includes fixed-rate FHLB borrowings that can generally be obtained at a more favorable cost than deposits of comparable maturity. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to maintain a steady deposit base but from time to time may decide, as we have done in the past, not to pay rates on deposits as high as our competition.
As of September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, we had $23.8$21.3 million of long-term debt outstanding to an unaffiliated banking organization. See Note 11. “Long-term“Long-Term Borrowings” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information related to our long-term debt. We also have $23.6 million of indebtedness payable under junior subordinated debentures issued to subsidiary trusts that issued trust preferred securities in pooled offerings. See Note 10. “Subordinated Notes Payable” to our consolidated financial statements for additional information related to our junior subordinated notes.
Inflation
The effects of price changes and inflation can vary substantially for most financial institutions. While management believes that inflation affects the growth of total assets, it is difficult to assess its overall impact on the Company. Management believes this to be the case due to the fact that generally neither the timing nor the magnitude of the inflationary changes in the consumer price index (“CPI”) coincides with changes in interest rates. The price of one or more of the components of the CPI may fluctuate considerably and thereby influence the overall CPI without having a corresponding effect on interest rates or upon the cost of those goods and services normally purchased by us. In years of high inflation and high interest rates, intermediate and long-term interest rates tend to increase, thereby adversely impacting the market values of investment securities, mortgage loans and other long-term fixed rate loans held by financial institutions. In addition, higher short-term interest rates caused by inflation tend to increase financial institutions’ cost of funds. In other years, the reverse situation may occur.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers, which include commitments to extend credit, standby and performance letters of credit, and commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, standby and performance letters of credit.sale. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers at predetermined interest rates, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contracts. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making off-balance sheet commitments as we do for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. As of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016, outstanding commitments to extend credit totaled approximately $422.4398.8 million. We have established a reserve of $0.10.2 million, which represents our estimate of probable losses as a result of these transactions. This reserve is not part of our allowance for loan losses.

Commitments under standby and performance letters of credit outstanding aggregated $16.312.1 million as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016. We do not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions.
Residential mortgage loans sold to others are predominantly conventional residential first lien mortgages originated under our usual underwriting procedures, and are most often sold on a nonrecourse basis. At September 30, 2015March 31, 2016, there were approximately $5.86.5 million of mandatory commitments with investors to sell not yet originated residential mortgage loans. We do not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
In general, market risk is the risk of change in asset values due to movements in underlying market rates and prices. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and capital arising from movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the Company as other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, play a lesser role in the normal course of our business activities.
In addition to interest rate risk, economic conditions in recent years have made liquidity risk (in particular, 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.

62


Liquidity Risk
Liquidity refers to our ability to fund operations, to meet depositor withdrawals, to provide for our customers’ credit needs, and to meet maturing obligations and existing commitments. Our liquidity principally depends on cash flows from operating activities, investment in and maturity of assets, changes in balances of deposits and borrowings, and our ability to borrow funds.
Net cash inflows from operating activities were $22.1$12.0 million in the first ninethree months of 2015,2016, compared with $17.5$8.6 million in the first ninethree months of 2014.2015. Net income before depreciation, amortization, and accretion is generally the primary contributor for net cash inflows from operating activities.
Net cash inflows from investing activities were $53.1$24.7 million in the first ninethree months of 2015,2016, compared to net cash outflowsinlows of $14.6$20.0 million in the comparable nine-monththree-month period of 2014.2015. In the first ninethree months of 2015,2016, investment securities transactions resulted in net cash inflows of $167.6$42.4 million, compared to inflows of $2.1$65.1 million during the same period of 2014.2015. Increased loan volume accounted for net cash outflows of $89.5$21.1 million for the first ninethree months of 2015,2016, compared with $14.4$44.2 million of net cash outflows for the same period of 2014. A net cash outflow of $35.6 million was also experienced in connection with the merger with Central in the first nine months of 2015. Purchases of premises and equipment resulted in $11.6$1.9 million cash outflows in the first ninethree months of 2015,2016, compared to outflows of $8.4$2.2 million relating to premises and equipment in the comparable period of 2014,2015, both resulting from the two large building projects currently underway to restore and remodel the main office of MidWestOne Bank and headquarters of the Company, and to construct a new Home Mortgage Center. CashCenter, and partially offset by the sale of the Rice Lake and Barron, Wisconsin branch offices. There were no cash inflows from loan pool participations were $19.3 million during the first ninethree months of 20152016 compared to $5.1$1.1 million during the same period of 2014,2015, as we sold our interest in these instruments in the second quarter of 2015.
Net cash used in financing activities in the first ninethree months of 20152016 was $6.3$23.1 million, compared with net cash providedused of $39.6$30.5 million for the same period of 2014.2015. The largest financing cash outflows during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 was a $17.4$33.9 million decrease in federal funds purchased.deposits. Other cash outflows included the repayment of a subordinated note in the amount of $12.7 million, a decrease of $7.7$9.6 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase, a net decrease of $6.0$1.5 million in FHLB borrowings,federal funds purchased, and the use of $4.6$1.8 million to pay dividends. Sources of cash inflows during the first ninethree months of 2015 included proceeds from long-term debt2016 were a net increase of $25.0 million the net increase in deposits of $10.4 million, compared to a net increase in deposits of $56.6 million in the first nine months of 2014, and proceeds from the private placement sale of Company stock in the amount of $7.9 million, net of expenses.FHLB borrowings.
To further mitigate liquidity risk, both MidWestOne Bank and, previously, Central Bank have 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:
Federal Funds Lines
FHLB Borrowings
Brokered Deposits
Brokered Repurchase Agreements
Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window

Federal Funds Lines:
Routine liquidity requirements are met by fluctuations in the federal funds position of both MidWestOne Bank and, previously, Central Bank. The principal function of these funds is to maintain short-term liquidity. Unsecured federal 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 federal funds sold exposure to any one customer is continuously monitored. The current federal funds purchased limit is 10% of total assets, or the amount of established federal funds lines, whichever is smaller. Currently, MidWestOne Bank and Central Bank havehas unsecured federal funds lines totaling $75.0$95.0 million, which lines are tested annually to ensure availability.
FHLB Borrowings:
FHLB borrowings provide both a source of liquidity and long-term funding for both MidWestOne Bank and, previously, Central Bank. Use of this type of funding is coordinated with both the strategic balance sheet growth projections and interest rate risk profile of MidWestOne Bank and, previously, Central Bank. Factors that are taken into account when contemplating use of FHLB borrowings are the effective interest rate, the collateral requirements, community investment program credits, and the implications and cost of having to purchase incremental FHLB stock. The current FHLB borrowing limit is 35% of total assets. As of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016, MidWestOne Bank and Central Bank had $87.0112.0 million in outstanding FHLB borrowings, leaving $264.2253.8 million available for

63


liquidity needs, based on collateral capacity. These borrowings are secured by various real estate loans (residential, commercial and agricultural).
Brokered Deposits:
MidWestOne Bank and, previously, Central Bank have brokered certificate of deposit lines/deposit relationships available to help diversify their various funding sources. Brokered deposits offer several benefits relative to other funding sources, such as: maturity structures which cannot be duplicated in the current deposit market, deposit gathering which does not cannibalize the existing deposit base, the unsecured nature of these liabilities, and the ability to quickly generate funds. However, brokered deposits are often viewed as a volatile liability by banking regulators and market participants. This viewpoint, and the desire to not develop a large funding concentration in any one area outside of the respective bank’s core market area, is reflected in an internal policy stating that MidWestOne Bank and, previously, Central Bank limit the use of brokered deposits as a funding source to no more than 10% of total assets. Board approval is required to exceed this limit. MidWestOne Bank and Central Bank will also have to maintain a “well capitalized” standing to access brokered deposits, as an “adequately capitalized” rating would require an FDIC waiver to do so, and an “undercapitalized” rating would prohibit them from using brokered deposits altogether.
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, 2015March 31, 2016.
Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window:
The Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window is another source of liquidity, particularly during difficult economic times. MidWestOne Bank and, previously, Central Bank each have a borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago limited by the amount of municipal securities pledged against the line. As of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016, the banks had combined municipal securities with an approximate market value of $13.013.1 million pledged for liquidity purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is defined as the exposure of net interest income and fair value of financial instruments (interest-earning assets, deposits and borrowings) to movements in interest rates. The natureCompany’s results of the banking business, which involves payingoperations depend to a large degree on its net interest on deposits at varying ratesincome and terms and charging interest on loans at other rates and terms, createsits ability to manage interest rate risk. As a result, netThe Company considers interest marginrate risk to be one of its more significant market risks. The major sources of the Company's interest rate risk are timing differences in the maturity and earnings and the market valuere-pricing characteristics of assets and liabilities, are subject to fluctuations arising fromchanges in the movementshape of interest rates. We manage several formsthe yield curve, changes in customer behavior and changes in relationships between rate indices (basis risk). Management measures these risks and their impact in various ways, including through the use of simulation and valuation analyses. The interest rate risk, including asset/liabilityscenarios may include gradual or rapid changes in interest rates, spread narrowing and widening, yield curve twists and changes in assumptions about customer behavior in various interest rate scenarios. A mismatch basis riskbetween maturities, interest rate sensitivities and prepayment characteristics of assets and liabilities results in interest-rate risk. A key management objective isLike most financial institutions, we have material interest-rate risk exposure to maintain a risk profilechanges in which variations in netboth short-term and long-term interest income stay withinrates, as well as variable interest rate indices (e.g., the limits and guidelines of the Asset/Liability Management Policy of both MidWestOne Bank and Central Bank.prime rate or LIBOR). The change in the Company’s interest rate profile between March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015 is largely attributable to the acquisition change in the mix

of Central. The Company liquidated certainearning assets.  During the first quarter, investment securities in order to provide forportfolio balances declined while floating-rate loan balances increased.  This shift toward more rapidly repricing assets is the cash portion of the deal consideration. Selling fixed-rate securities madeprimary reason the Company less liability sensitive. In addition,became more asset sensitive during the quarter.
MidWestOne Bank’s and, previously, Central Bank’s Asset and Liability Committees meet regularly and are responsible for reviewing their respective interest rate risk position is asset sensitive - more than off-setting the Company’s heretofore modest liability sensitivity.
Like most financial institutions, our net income can be significantly influenced by a variety of external factors, including: overall economic conditions,sensitivity positions and establishing policies to monitor 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 inlimit exposure to 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.rate risk. Our asset  and  liability  committees  seek  to  manage interest  rate  risk  under a  variety of rate  environments  by structuring  our balance sheet and off-balance-sheet positions in such a way that changes in interest rates do not have a large negative impact. The risk is monitored and managed within approved policy limits.
We use a third-party service to model and measure our exposure to potential interest rate changes. For various assumed hypothetical  changes  in  market interest  rates,  numerous  other  assumptions  are  made, such  as  prepayment  speeds  on  loans  and securities backed by mortgages, the  slope  of the Treasury yield-curve, the  rates  and volumes of our deposits, and the  rates  and volumes of our loans. This analysis measures the estimated change inThere are two primary tools used to evaluate interest rate risk: net interest income simulation and economic value of equity ("EVE"). In addition, interest rate gap is reviewed to monitor asset and liability repricing over various time periods.
Net Interest Income Simulation:
Management utilizes net interest income simulation models to estimate the near-term effects of changing interest rates on its net interest income. Net interest income simulation involves forecasting net interest income under a variety of scenarios, including the level of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve. Management exercises its best judgment in making assumptions regarding events that management can influence, such as non-contractual deposit re-pricings, and events outside management's control, such as customer behavior on loan and deposit activity and the eventeffect that competition has on both loan and deposit pricing. These assumptions are subjective and, as a result, net interest income simulation results will differ from actual results due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of hypotheticalinterest rate changes, changes in interest rates. market conditions, customer behavior and management strategies, among other factors. We perform various sensitivity analyses on assumptions of deposit attrition and deposit re-pricing.
The following table presents our projected changes inthe anticipated effect on net interest income for the variousover a twelve month period if short- and long-term interest rate shock levels at September 30, 2015rates were to sustain an immediate increase of 100 basis points and December 31, 2014.200 basis points:

Net interest income simulation highlights exposure over a relatively short time period, while EVE analysis incorporates all cash flows over the estimated remaining life of all balance sheet positions. The effectvaluation of an immediatethe balance sheet, at a point in time, is defined as the discounted present value of asset cash flows minus the discounted present value of liability cash flows.

These changes insimulation model. As with the net interest income under various interest rate scenarios are small relative to the overall level of net interest income.  In fact, changes of this magnitude are well within the range of what would be considered neutral interest rate sensitivity. In the current low interest rate environment,simulation model, results of a 200 basis point drop in interest rates are of questionable value as many interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets cannot re-price significantly lower than current levels. As part of a strategy to mitigate net interest margin compression in a low interest rate environment, management has incorporated interest rate floors on most newly originated floating rate loans. While incorporating interest rate floors on loans has been successful in maintaining our net interest margin in the current low rate environment, the coupon rates on these loans will lag when interest rates rise. These loans have floor rates that are between 0.0% and 2.0% above the fully indexed rate. Therefore, interest rates must rise up to 2.0% before some of these loans would experience an increase in the coupon rate.

Further,key assumptions about the computations dotiming and variability of balance sheet cash flows and does not contemplatetake into account any actions we could have undertaken in responsepotential responses by management to anticipated changes in interest rates.
Interest Rate Gap:
The interest rate gap is the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities re-pricing within a given period and represents the net asset or liability sensitivity at a point in time. An interest rate gap measure could be significantly affected by external factors such as loan prepayments, early withdrawals of deposits, changes in the correlation of various interest-bearing instruments, competition, or a rise or decline in interest rates.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under supervision and with the participation of certain members of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2015March 31, 2016. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report with respect to timely communication to them and other members of management responsible for preparing periodic reports of material information required to be disclosed in this report as it relates to the Company and our consolidated subsidiaries.
The effectiveness of our or any system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, and evaluating the controls and procedures, the assumptions used in identifying the likelihood of future events, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
         
We did not repurchase any of our equity securities during the thirdfirst quarter of 2015.2016.
On July 17, 2014, the board of directors of the Company approved a new share repurchase program, allowing for the repurchase of up to $5.0 million of stock through December 31, 2016. The new repurchase program replaced the Company’s prior repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company had repurchased approximately $3.7 million of common stock since January 1, 2013. Pursuant to the program, the Company may continue to repurchase shares from time to time in the open market, and the method, timing and amounts of repurchase will be solely in the discretion of the Company’s management. The repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire a specific number of shares. Therefore, the amount of shares repurchased pursuant to the program will depend on several factors, including market conditions, capital and liquidity requirements, and alternative uses for cash available. Of the $5.0 million of stock authorized under the repurchase plan, $3.8 million remained available for possible future repurchases as of September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016.
