The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent reporting periods, including the year ending December 31, 2013. The 2012 Lakeland Financial Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with these statements.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes commercial loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis for Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful grade loans and annually on Pass grade loans over $250,000.

The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as Special Mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as Substandard 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 as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.







26


Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be Pass rated loans with the exception of consumer troubled debt restructurings, which are evaluated and listed with Substandard grade loans.  Loans listed as Not Rated are consumer loans included in groups of homogenous loans which are analyzed for credit quality indicators utilizing delinquency status.  As of September 30, 2013 and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

Securities with carrying values of $154.1 million and $199.3 million were pledged as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, as collateral for deposits of public funds, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and for other purposes as permitted or required by law.

Information regarding securities with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is presented below. The tables divide the securities between those with unrealized losses for less than twelve months and those with unrealized losses for twelve months or more.

The following factors are considered to determine whether or not the impairment of these securities is other-than-temporary. Ninety-nine percent of the securities are backed by the U.S. government, government agencies, government sponsored agencies or are A- rated or better by Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, except for certain non-local or local municipal securities, which are not rated. All mortgage-backed securities are backed by government agencies.  The Company does not currently have any non-agency mortgage backed securities in its securities portfolio.  None of the securities have call provisions (with the exception of the municipal securities) and all payments as originally agreed are being received on their original terms. For the government, government-sponsored agency and municipal securities, management did not have concerns of credit losses, and there was nothing to indicate that full principal will not be received. Management considered the unrealized losses on these securities to be primarily interest rate driven and does not expect material losses given current market conditions unless the securities are sold. However, at this time management does not have the intent to sell, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.

The following table provides information about debt securities for which only a credit loss was recognized in income and for which other losses are recorded in other comprehensive income.  There were no securities with other than temporary impairment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.  All securities with other than temporary impairment were sold during 2012.  The table represents the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

The Company does not have a history of actively trading securities but continues to hold securities available for sale should liquidity or other needs develop that would warrant the sale of securities. While these securities are held in the available for sale portfolio, it is management’s current intent to hold them until a recovery in fair value or maturity.

NOTE 7.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance related to disclosure of reclassification amounts out of other comprehensive income. The standard requires that companies present, either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of their financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The new requirements will take effect for public companies in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2013.  Adopting this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 8.  FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1
Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2
Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3
Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Securities:  Securities available for sale are valued primarily by a third party pricing service. The fair values of securities available for sale are determined on a recurring basis by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or pricing models which utilize significant observable inputs such as matrix pricing. This is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). These models utilize the market approach with standard inputs that include, but are not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. For certain non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities where observable inputs about the specific issuer are not available, fair values are estimated using observable data from other non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities presumed to be similar or other market data on other non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (Level 3 inputs). For certain municipal securities that are not rated and observable inputs about the specific issuer are not available, fair values are estimated using observable data from other municipal securities presumed to be similar or other market data on other non-rated municipal securities (Level 3 inputs). There were no transfers between Level 1and Level 2 during the first nine months of 2013.

33

Mortgage banking derivatives:  The fair value of mortgage banking derivatives are based on observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Interest rate swap derivatives:  The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Currently, none of the Company’s derivatives are designated in qualifying hedging relationships, as the derivatives are not used to manage risks within the Company’s assets or liabilities. As such, all changes in fair value of the Company’s derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.  The fair value of interest rate swap derivatives is determined by pricing or valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Impaired loans:  Impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.  Fair value is determined using several methods.  Generally, the fair value of real estate is based on appraisals by qualified third party appraisers.  These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.  Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. In addition, the Company’s management routinely applies internal discount factors to the value of appraisals used in the fair value evaluation of impaired loans.  The deductions to the appraisals take into account changing business factors and market conditions, as well as value impairment in cases where the appraisal date predates a likely change in market conditions.  Commercial real estate is generally discounted from its appraised value by 0-50% with the higher discounts applied to real estate that is determined to have a thin trading market or to be specialized collateral.  In addition to real estate, the Company’s management evaluates other types of collateral as follows: Raw and finished inventory is discounted from its cost or book value by 35-65%, depending on the marketability of the goods.  Finished goods are generally discounted by 30-60%, depending on the ease of marketability, cost of transportation or scope of use of the finished good.  Work in process inventory is typically discounted by 50-100%, depending on the length of manufacturing time, types of components used in the completion process, and the breadth of the user base.  Equipment is valued at a percentage of depreciated book value or recent appraised value, if available, and is typically discounted at 30-70% after various considerations including age and condition of the equipment, marketability, breadth of use, and whether the equipment includes unique components or add-ons.  Accounts receivable are discounted by 60-90%, depending on age and estimated collectability.  Marketable securities are discounted by 10-30%, depending on the type of investment, age of valuation report and general market conditions.  This methodology is based on a market approach and typically results in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Mortgage servicing rights:  As of September 30, 2013 the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 servicing assets for residential mortgage loans was $3.3 million, some of which are not currently impaired and therefore carried at amortized cost.  These residential mortgage loans have a weighted average interest rate of 4.12%, a weighted average maturity of 19 years and are secured by homes generally within the Company’s market area, which is primarily Northern Indiana.  A valuation model is used to estimate fair value, which is based on an income approach.  The inputs used include estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income, late fees, and float income.  The most significant assumption used to value mortgage servicing rights is prepayment rate.  Prepayment rates are estimated based on published industry consensus prepayment rates.  The most significant unobservable assumption is the discount rate.  At September 30, 2013, the constant prepayment speed (PSA) used was 189 and the discount rate used was 9.3%.  At December 31, 2012, the PSA used was 392 and the discount rate used was 9.2%.

34

Other real estate owned:  Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property and are reviewed by the Company’s internal appraisal officer.  Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales.  Such adjustments are usually significant and result in a Level 3 classification.   In addition, the Company’s management may apply discount factors to the appraisals to take into account changing business factors and market conditions, as well as value impairment in cases where the appraisal date predates a likely change in market conditions.  In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

Real estate mortgage loans held for sale:  Real estate mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments, from third party investors, and result in a Level 2 classification.

The fair value of two non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities with a fair value of $3.3 million as of March 31, 2013 were transferred out of Level 2 and into Level 3 because of a lack of observable market data for these investments.  The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers as of the end of the reporting period. As a result, the fair value for these non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities and state and municipal securities was transferred into Level 3 on March 31, 2013.  The securities were subsequently sold in the third quarter of 2013.  The Company no longer owns any non-agency residential mortgage backed securities.

The state and municipal securities measured at fair value included below are non-rated Indiana municipal revenue bonds and are not actively traded.

The Company’s Controlling Department, which is responsible for all accounting and SEC compliance, and the Company’s Treasury Department, which is responsible for investment portfolio management and asset/liability modeling, are the two areas that decide the Company’s valuation policies and procedures.  Both of these areas report directly to the President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.  For assets or liabilities that may be considered for Level 3 fair value measurement on a recurring basis, these two departments and the President and Chief Financial Officer determine the appropriate level of the assets or liabilities under consideration.  If there are assets or liabilities that are determined to be Level 3 by this group, the Risk Management Committee of the Company and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors are made aware of such assets at their next scheduled meeting.

Securities pricing is obtained from a third party pricing service and is tested at least annually against prices from another third party provider and reviewed with a market value tolerance variance of 3%.  If any securities fall above this tolerance threshold, they are reviewed in more detail to determine why the variance exists.  Changes in market value are reviewed monthly in aggregate yield by security type and any material differences are reviewed to determine why they exist.  At least annually, the pricing methodology of the pricing service is received and reviewed to support the fair value levels used by the Company. A detailed pricing evaluation is requested and reviewed on any security determined to be fair valued using unobservable inputs by the pricing service.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities classified as Level 3 are constant prepayment rates, average life, and a Swap/EDSF spread. Significant increases/(decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower/(higher) fair value measurement.

The primary methodology used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s state and municipal securities classified as Level 3 is a discount to the AAA municipal benchmark index. Significant increases or (decreases) in this index as well as the degree to which the security differs in ratings, coupon, call and duration will result in a higher or (lower) fair value measurement for those securities that are not callable. For those securities that are continuously callable, a slight premium to par is used.

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value and are classified as Level 1.

Loans, net – Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows:  For variable rate loans, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification.  Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using current market rates applied to the estimated life resulting in a Level 3 classification.  Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously.  The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock – It is not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Certificates of deposit - Fair values of certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using current market rates applied to the estimated life resulting in a Level 2 classification.

All other deposits - The fair values for all other deposits other than certificates of deposit are equal to the amount payable on demand (the carrying value) resulting in a Level 1 classification.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase – The carrying amount of borrowings under repurchase agreements approximates their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Federal funds purchased – The carrying amount of federal funds purchased approximates their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Other short-term borrowings – The fair value of other short-term borrowings approximates their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Long-term borrowings – The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current borrowing rates resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Subordinated debentures - The fair value of subordinated debentures is based on the rates currently available to the Company with similar term and remaining maturity and credit spread resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Standby letters of credit – The fair value of off-balance sheet items is based on the current fees and costs that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Accrued interest receivable/payable – The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximates fair value resulting in a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 classification which is consistent with its associated asset/liability.

NOTE 10. OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to the disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities. These changes require an entity to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The enhanced disclosures will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to understand and evaluate the effect or potential effect of master netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. Other than the additional disclosure requirements, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Part 1
LAKELAND FINANCIAL CORPORATION
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT ’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
and
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

September 30, 2013

OVERVIEW

Lakeland Financial Corporation is the holding company for Lake City Bank. The Company is headquartered in Warsaw, Indiana and operates 45 offices in 13 counties in Northern and Central Indiana. The Company earned $28.3 million for the first nine months of 2013, versus $26.8 million in the same period of 2012, an increase of 5.5%.  Net income was positively impacted by an increase in noninterest income of $5.0 million and a $1.3 million decrease in the provision for loan losses.  Offsetting these positive impacts were an increase of $3.0 million in noninterest expense and a decrease in net interest income of $664,000.  Basic earnings per common share for the first nine months of 2013 were $1.72 per share versus $1.64 per share for the first nine months of 2012, an increase of 4.9%.  Diluted earnings per common share reflect the potential dilutive impact of stock options, stock awards and warrants.  Diluted earnings per common share for the first nine months of 2013 were $1.70 per share versus $1.63 for the first nine months of 2012, an increase of 4.3%.

Net income for the third quarter of 2013 was $9.8 million, an increase of 4.5%, versus $9.3 million for the comparable period of 2012.  The increase was driven by a $1.6 million increase in noninterest income and a $812,000 increase in net interest income.  Offsetting this positive impact was an increase in noninterest expense of $2.0 million.  Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter of 2013 were $0.59 per share, versus $0.57 per share for the third quarter of 2012, an increase of 3.5%.

Earnings for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 were negatively impacted by a $465,000 provision for state income tax expense due to a revaluation of the Company’s deferred tax items relating to state income tax.  During the second quarter of 2013, the Indiana legislature approved new, lower tax rates for financial institutions, which will take effect beginning in 2014.  One effect of the lower, future rates is to reduce the benefit that will be provided by the Company’s existing deferred tax items requiring the non-cash adjustment.  Excluding the effect of the adjustment, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 would have been $28.7 million, representing an increase of 7.1% over the comparable period of 2012.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, net interest income totaled $66.1 million, a decrease of 1.0%, or $664,000, versus the first nine months of 2012.  This decrease was primarily due to a twelve basis point decrease in the Company’s net interest margin to 3.22% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, versus 3.34% for the comparable period of 2012.  During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, average earning assets increased by $79.3 million, or 2.9%, to $2.797 billion.  For the third quarter of 2013, net interest income totaled $23.0 million, an increase of 3.7%, or $812,000, versus the third quarter of 2012.  This increase was primarily due to a $107.2 million, or 3.9%, increase in average earning assets in the third quarter of 2013, versus the third quarter of 2012.  The Company’s net interest margin was virtually unchanged at 3.29% for the third quarter of 2013 versus 3.30% for the third quarter of 2012.

47

Given the Company’s mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities at September 30, 2013, the Company would generally be considered to have a relatively neutral balance sheet structure.  The Company’s balance sheet structure would normally be expected to produce a stable or declining net interest margin in a declining rate environment.  As the Company’s balance sheet has become more neutral in structure, management believes rate movements and other factors such as deposit mix, market deposit rate pricing and non-bank deposit products could have an impact on net interest margin.  As a result of the prolonged and unprecedented low interest rate environment, and given ongoing indications by the Federal Reserve Bank regarding its intentions to maintain current target rate levels, the Company expects to experience continued pressure on its net interest margin.  Also contributing to this net interest margin compression is a recent trend of aggressive loan pricing by the Company’s competitors in its markets on both variable and fixed rate commercial loans.  As a result of this competitive pricing influence, the Company believes that its yields on the commercial loan portfolio will continue to experience downward pressure.  Over time, the Company’s mix of deposits has shifted to more reliance on transaction accounts such as Rewards Checking, as well as Rewards Savings and corporate and public fund money market and repurchase agreements, which generally carry a higher interest rate cost than other types of interest bearing deposits.  The Company believes that this deposit strategy provides for an appropriate funding strategy.

During the first nine months of 2013, total interest and dividend income decreased by $8.0 million, or 9.1%, to $79.7 million versus $87.7 million during the first nine months of 2012.  This decrease was primarily the result of a 50 basis point decrease in the tax equivalent yield on average earning assets to 3.9%, versus 4.4% for the same period of 2012.  Average earning assets increased by $79.3 million, or 2.9%, during the first nine months of 2013 versus the same period of 2012.  During the third quarter of 2013, total interest and dividend income decreased by $1.7 million, or 5.9%, to $27.0 million, versus $28.7 million during the third quarter of 2012.  This decrease was primarily the result of a 40 basis point decrease in the tax equivalent yield on average earning assets to 3.9% in the third quarter of 2013, versus 4.3% for the same period of 2012.  Average earning assets increased by $107.2 million, or 3.9%, in the third quarter of 2013 versus the same period of 2012.

During the first nine months of 2013, loan interest income decreased by $4.3 million, or 5.6%, to $73.8 million versus $78.1 million during the first nine months of 2012.  The decrease was driven by a 43 basis point decrease in the tax equivalent yield on loans, to 4.3%, versus 4.7% in the first nine months of 2012.  During the third quarter of 2013, loan interest income decreased by $1.2 million, or 4.7%, to $24.7 million, versus $25.9 million during the third quarter of 2012.  The decrease was driven by a 48 basis point decrease in the tax equivalent yield on loans, to 4.2%, versus 4.7% in the third quarter of 2012.

The average daily securities balances for the first nine months of 2013 increased $49,000 to $475.1 million, versus $475.0 million for the same period of 2012. During the same periods, income from securities decreased by $3.7 million, or 38.4%, to $5.9 million versus $9.5 million during the first nine months of 2012.  The decrease was primarily the result of a 99 basis point decrease in the tax equivalent yield on securities, to 2.0%, versus 3.0% in the first nine months of 2012.  The average daily securities balances for the third quarter of 2013 decreased $11.2 million, or 2.4%, to $464.7 million, versus $475.9 million for the same period of 2012.  During the same periods, income from securities decreased by $467,000, or 17.1%, to $2.3 million versus $2.7 million during the third quarter of 2012.  The decrease was primarily the result of a 29 basis point decrease in the tax equivalent yield on securities, to 2.3%, versus 2.6% in the third quarter of 2012.  The prolonged low interest rate environment has reduced the income from securities since securities payments, including prepayments on mortgage-backed securities, must then be reinvested in securities at current, lower market yields.  Due to the unprecedented low interest rate environment, the Company is actively considering and implementing changes in its investment strategy.  The plan includes considering the purchase of good quality, higher yielding alternative investments.  Given the strength of the Company’s balance sheet and the likelihood of the low interest rate environment persisting into the future, the Company believes that this would be an appropriate and prudent strategy although the Company does not expect this will result in a significant change in strategy.

48

Total interest expense decreased $7.3 million, or 35.1%, to $13.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, from $20.9 million for the comparable period in 2012.  The decrease was primarily the result of a 36 basis point decrease in the Company’s daily cost of funds to 0.7% versus 1.1% for the same period of 2012.  Total interest expense decreased $2.5 million, or 38.5%, to $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2013, versus $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2012.  The decrease was primarily the result of a 39 basis point decrease in the Company’s cost of funds to 0.6% from 1.0% for the same period of 2012.

On an average daily basis, total deposits (including demand deposits) decreased $10.3 million, or 0.4%, to $2.481 billion for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, versus $2.491 billion during the same period in 2012.  The average daily balances for the third quarter of 2013 decreased $6.0 million, or 0.3%, to $2.479 billion from $2.486 billion during the third quarter of 2012.  On an average daily basis, noninterest bearing demand deposits were $401.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, versus $348.3 million for the same period in 2012.  The average daily noninterest bearing demand deposit balances for the third quarter of 2013 were $434.5 million versus $364.6 million for the third quarter of 2012.  On an average daily basis, interest bearing transaction accounts increased $26.9 million, or 2.7%, to $1.019 billion for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, versus the same period in 2012.  Average daily interest bearing transaction accounts increased $33.5 million, or 3.4%, to $1.015 billion for the third quarter of 2013 versus $981.8 million for the third quarter of 2012.  When comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013 with the same period of 2012, the average daily balance of time deposits, which pay a higher rate of interest compared to demand deposits and non-Rewards Checking transaction accounts, decreased $124.5 million.  The average rate paid on time deposit accounts decreased 40 basis points to 1.2% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, versus the same period in 2012.  During the third quarter of 2013, the average daily balance of time deposits decreased $153.9 million and the rate paid decreased 37 basis points to 1.2%, versus the third quarter of 2012.  Despite the low interest rate environment, the Company has been able to attract and retain retail deposit customers through offering innovative deposit products such as Rewards Checking and Savings.  These products pay somewhat higher interest rates but also encourage certain customer behaviors such as using debit cards and electronic statements, which have the effect of generating additional related fee income and reducing the Company’s processing costs.

The Company’s funding strategy is generally focused on leveraging its retail branch network to grow traditional retail deposits and on its presence with commercial customers and public fund entities in its Indiana markets to generate deposits.  In addition, the Company has utilized the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) program and out-of-market brokered certificates of deposit.  Due to the Company’s historical loan growth, the Company sought these deposits and has expanded its funding strategy over time to include these types of non-core deposit programs although its reliance on these types of deposits has reduced significantly over the past several years.  The Company believes that these deposit programs represent an appropriate tool in the overall liquidity and funding strategy but will continue to focus on funding loan and investment growth with in-market deposits whenever possible.  On an average daily basis, total brokered certificates of deposit decreased $30.3 million to $12.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, versus $42.5 million for the same period in 2012.  During the third quarter of 2013, there were no brokered certificates of deposit, versus an average daily balance of $30.4 million in brokered certificates of deposit during the third quarter of 2012.  On an average daily basis, total public fund certificates of deposit increased $30.7 million to $128.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, versus $97.9 million for the same period in 2012.  During the third quarter of 2013, average daily public fund certificates of deposit were $139.7 million versus $108.2 million during the third quarter of 2012.  In addition, the Company had average public fund interest bearing transaction accounts of $208.2 million and $238.9 million, respectively, in the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2013, versus $190.5 million and $189.5 million for the comparable periods of 2012.  Availability of public fund deposits can be cyclical, primarily due to the timing differences between when real estate property taxes are collected versus when those tax revenues are spent, and the intense competition for these funds.

49

Average daily balances of borrowings were $171.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, versus $163.0 million during the same period of 2012, and the rate paid on borrowings decreased 33 basis points to 0.9%.  During the third quarter of 2013, the average daily balances of borrowings increased $38.4 million to $197.1 million versus $158.7 million for the same period of 2012, and the rate paid on borrowings decreased 46 basis points to 0.8%.  On an average daily basis, total deposits (including demand deposits) and purchased funds increased 0.1% and 1.2%, respectively, during the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 versus the same periods in 2012.

The Company’s Board of Directors and management recognize the importance of liquidity during times of normal operations and in times of stress.  In 2010, the Company formalized and expanded upon its extensive Contingency Funding Plan (“CFP”).  The formal CFP was developed to help ensure that the multiple liquidity sources available to the Company are detailed. The CFP identifies the potential funding sources, which include the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, the Federal Reserve Bank, brokered certificates of deposit, money market deposits, certificates of deposit available from the CDARS program, repurchase agreements, and Fed Funds. The CFP also addresses the role of the securities portfolio in liquidity.

Further, the plan identifies CFP team members and expressly details their respective roles. Potential risk scenarios are identified and the CFP includes multiple scenarios, including short-term and long-term funding crisis situations. Under the long-term funding crisis, two additional scenarios are identified: a moderate risk scenario and a highly stressed scenario. The CFP indicates the responsibilities and the actions to be taken by the CFP team under each scenario. Monthly reports to management and the Board of Directors under the CFP include an early warning indicator matrix and pro forma cash flows for the various scenarios.  The Company will continue to carefully monitor its liquidity planning and will consider adjusting its plans as circumstances warrant.

Provision for Loan Losses

Based on management’s review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, no provisions for loan losses were recorded during the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2013, versus provisions of $1.3 million and $0 recorded during the same periods of 2012.  Factors impacting the provision included the amount and status of classified and watch list credits, the level of charge-offs, management’s overall view on current credit quality and the regional and national economic conditions impacting credit quality, the amount and status of impaired loans, the amount and status of past due accruing loans (90 days or more), and overall loan growth as discussed in more detail below in the analysis relating to the Company’s financial condition.

Noninterest income increased $5.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 versus the same periods in 2012.  Investment brokerage fees increased $1.0 million and $808,000, respectively, driven by higher trading volumes and improvements in the product mix. Other income increased by $1.3 million and $187,000, respectively, driven by income on bank owned life insurance as well as fees related to the Company’s interest rate swap program for clients.  During the first quarter, the Company introduced a new swap derivative product, which is offered to certain commercial banking customers.  Loan, insurance and service fees increased by $730,000 and $103,000, respectively, and were driven by higher fee income on increased debit card activity.  In addition, noninterest income in the nine-months and three-months ended June 30, 2012 was negatively impacted by $1.1 million and $67,000, respectively, in other-than-temporary impairment on several non-agency mortgage backed securities.

The Company's noninterest expense increased $3.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in the nine-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 versus the same periods of 2012.  Salaries and employee benefits increased by $1.5 million and $868,000, respectively.  For the nine month period, the $1.5 million increase was driven by $1.1 million in salaries, which resulted from staff additions and normal merit increases and a $366,000 increase in health insurance expense.  The $868,000 increase in the three months was driven by a $556,000 in salaries and a $139,000 increase in health insurance expense.  Data processing fees increased by $1.1 million and $300,000, respectively, driven by a larger customer base as well as greater utilization of services from the Company’s core processor, which the Company believes will improve marketing and cross-selling initiatives.  Other expenses increased by $282,000 and $669,000, respectively, driven by higher advertising expenses as well as higher professional fees.  The third quarter increase was driven by advertising and consulting expenses specific to programs that the Company made investments in during the third quarter, and is not expected to be recurring levels of spending.

56

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased $1.1 million, or 8.4%, for the first nine months of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012.  The combined state franchise tax expense and the federal income tax expense, as a percentage of income before income tax expense, increased to 33.9% during the first nine months of 2013 compared to 33.3% during the same period of 2012.  The increase was driven by a $465,000 provision for state income tax expense due to a revaluation of the Company’s deferred tax items relating to state income tax.  During the second quarter of 2013, the Indiana legislature enacted new, lower tax rates for financial institutions, which will take effect beginning in 2014.  One effect of the lower, future rates is to reduce the benefit which will be provided by the Company’s existing deferred tax items requiring the non-cash adjustment.  Excluding the effect of the adjustment, income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 would have been $14.0 million, representing 32.9% of pretax net income.  The combined tax expense decreased to 32.7% in the third quarter of 2013, versus 33.6% during the same period of 2012.  The decrease in the third quarter of 2013 was driven by an increase in the percentage of revenue derived from tax advantaged sources versus the third quarter of 2012.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Some of the facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include changes in interest rates, in the performance of the economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of mortgage servicing rights and the valuation and other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities. The Company’s critical accounting policies are discussed in detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets of the Company were $3.041 billion as of September 30, 2013, a decrease of $22.9 million, or 0.8%, when compared to $3.064 billion as of December 31, 2012.

Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $150.9 million, or 65.0%, to $81.3 million at September 30, 2013 from $232.2 million at December 31, 2012.  The decrease resulted from a decrease in total deposits as well as loan growth.  Historically, the Company maintained higher compensating balances with correspondent financial institutions in order to avoid certain service fees.  During a periodic review of this strategy during the first quarter of 2013, the Company determined that it would be more beneficial to maintain lower compensating balances although this may result in paying slightly higher service fees.  The reduction in the compensating balances resulted in a lower level of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012.

57

Total securities available-for-sale decreased by $4.0 million, or 0.9%, to $463.1 million at September 30, 2013 from $467.0 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease was a result of a number of transactions in the securities portfolio.  Securities purchases totaled $142.0 million.  Offsetting this increase were securities paydowns totaling $89.8 million, sales of securities totaling $30.0 million, maturities and calls of securities totaling $7.4 million and securities amortization net of accretion totaling $7.1 million.  In addition, the net unrealized gain of the securities portfolio decreased by $11.7 million.  The decrease in fair market value was primarily driven by rising interest rates during the second quarter, which led to lower market values for agency residential mortgage-backed securities and state and municipal securities.  The investment portfolio is generally managed to limit the Company’s exposure to credit risk by containing mostly mortgage-backed securities backed by the federal government, other securities which are either directly or indirectly backed by the federal government or a local municipal government.  The securities sales referenced earlier included the remaining four non-agency residential mortgage backed securities in the Company’s securities portfolio.

Real estate mortgage loans held-for-sale decreased by $8.4 million, or 88.9%, to $1.0 million at September 30, 2013, from $9.5 million at December 31, 2012.  The balance of this asset category is subject to a high degree of variability depending on, among other things, recent mortgage loan rates and the timing of loan sales into the secondary market.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, $68.4 million in real estate mortgages were originated for sale and $76.0 million in mortgages were sold.

Total loans, excluding real estate mortgage loans held for sale, increased by $135.2 million to $2.393 billion at September 30, 2013 from $2.258 billion at December 31, 2012.  Management expects loan growth to be moderate as the economic recovery moves along.  The loan portfolio at September 30, 2013 consisted of 87% commercial and industrial, including commercial real estate and agri-business, 11% residential real estate and home equity and 2% consumer loans, versus 85% commercial and industrial, including commercial real estate and agri-business, 13% residential real estate and home equity and 2% consumer loans at December 31, 2012.

The Company has a relatively high percentage of commercial and commercial real estate loans, most of which are extended to small or medium-sized businesses from a wide variety of industries. Commercial loans represent higher dollar amount loans to fewer customers and therefore higher credit risk than other types of loans. Pricing is adjusted to manage the higher credit risk associated with these types of loans. The majority of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans, which represent increased interest rate risk, are sold in the secondary market, as well as some variable rate residential mortgage loans. The remainder of the variable rate residential mortgage loans and a small number of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans are retained. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is at a level commensurate with the overall risk exposure of the loan portfolio. However, if economic conditions do not continue to improve, certain borrowers may experience difficulty and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require further increases in the provision for loan losses.

Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the principal is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses relating to specifically identified loans based on an evaluation of the loans by management, as well as other probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay. Management also considers trends in adversely classified loans based upon a monthly review of those credits. An appropriate level of general allowance is determined after considering the following factors:  application of historical loss percentages, emerging market risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentrations, new industry lending activity and current economic conditions. Federal regulations require insured institutions to classify their own assets on a regular basis. The regulations provide for three categories of classified loans – Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. The regulations also contain a Special Mention category. Special Mention is defined as loans that do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification as Substandard, Doubtful or Loss but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management’s close attention. The Company’s policy is to establish a specific allowance for loan losses for any assets where management has identified conditions or circumstances that indicate an asset is impaired. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the Company’s policy is to either establish specified allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss or charge-off such amount.

At September 30, 2013, on the basis of management’s review of the loan portfolio, the Company had 98 credits totaling $167.3 million on the classified loan list versus 104 credits totaling $181.9 million on December 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $89.8 million of assets classified as Special Mention, $77.5 million classified as Substandard, $0 classified as Doubtful and $0 classified as Loss as compared to $82.7 million, $99.2 million, $66,000 and $0, respectively at December 31, 2012.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company had 33 loans totaling $41.6 million accounted for as troubled debt restructurings. Included in the classified loan amounts above were 17 mortgage loans totaling $1.6 million with total allocations of $308,000, and 16 commercial loans totaling $39.9 million with total allocations of $9.5 million. The Company has no commitments to lend additional funds to any of the borrowers. At December 31, 2012, the Company had 41 loans totaling $50.8 million accounted for as troubled debt restructurings - one installment loan totaling $16,000 with an allocation of $4,000, 12 mortgage loans totaling $1.4 million with total allocations of $247,000, and 28 commercial loans totaling $49.4 million with total allocations of $12.2 million. The $9.3 million decrease of loans accounted for as troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2013, as compared to December 31, 2012, was primarily due to the removal of two commercial credits totaling $8.4 million since these loans were modified at a market rate and were performing as of December 31, 2012.

Allowance estimates are developed by management taking into account actual loss experience, adjusted for current economic conditions. The Company generally has regular discussions regarding this methodology with regulatory authorities.  Allowance estimates are considered a prudent measurement of the risk in the Company’s loan portfolio and are applied to individual loans based on loan type. In accordance with current accounting guidance, the allowance is provided for losses that have been incurred as of the balance sheet date and is based on past events and current economic conditions and does not include the effects of expected losses on specific loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or expected changes in economic conditions.

Net charge-offs totaled $831,000 in the third quarter of 2013, versus net recoveries of $96,000 during the third quarter of 2012 and net charge-offs of $183,000 during the second quarter of 2013.

59

The allowance for loan losses decreased 3.2%, or $1.6 million, from $51.4 million at December 31, 2012 to $49.8 million at September 30, 2013.  Pooled loan allocations increased from $36.6 million at December 31, 2012 to $39.3 million at September 30, 2013, which was primarily a result of loan growth as well as management’s overall view on current credit quality and the current economic environment, which included a change at March 31, 2013 in the lookback period for the determination of the qualitative factors from a three year lookback to a higher of a three year or five year lookback.  Management believes it is prudent when determining the qualitative factors to consider the higher historical loss periods included in the five year lookback period that are now running off in the three year lookback period, due to the current macroeconomic and political uncertainty.  Impaired loan allocations decreased $4.3 million from $14.8 million at December 31, 2012 to $10.5 million at September 30, 2013.  This decrease in impaired allocations was primarily due to decreases in the allocations of existing impaired loans as well as reductions to the impaired loans category.  The unallocated component of the allowance for loan losses was virtually unchanged at $3.5 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $3.4 million at December 31, 2012.  While general trends in credit quality were stable or favorable, the Company believes that the unallocated component is appropriate given the uncertainty that exists regarding near term economic conditions, including the slow economic recovery.  Management believes the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2013 was at a level commensurate with the overall risk exposure of the loan portfolio. However, if economic conditions do not continue to improve, certain borrowers may experience difficulty and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require further increases in the provision for loan losses.

Total impaired loans decreased by $11.4 million, or 19.3%, to $47.4 million at September 30, 2013 from $58.9 million at December 31, 2012.  A loan is impaired when full payment under the original loan terms is not expected. Impairment is evaluated in the aggregate for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, and consumer loans, and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance may be allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.  The decrease in the impaired loans category was primarily due to the removal of three commercial credits totaling $10.5 million from the impaired category.  The following table summarizes nonperforming assets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Total nonperforming assets decreased by $8.2 million, or 26.1%, to $23.3 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease was primarily due to the aforementioned reclassification of three commercial credits from impaired to non-impaired.  The loan upgrades also shifted two of the loans from the troubled debt restructured loan category.  The third loan was never a troubled debt restructuring.  In addition, the Company sold $592,000 in other real estate owned during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013.

Three commercial relationships represented 67.6% of total nonperforming loans.  A commercial relationship consisting of three loans totaling $6.8 million represented the largest exposure in the nonperforming category.  These loans were classified as nonperforming in the fourth quarter of 2011.  The borrower is engaged in commercial real estate development.  Borrower collateral, including real estate and the personal guarantees of its principals, support the credit.  The Company has not taken any charge-offs related to this credit.

A $5.0 million commercial relationship consisting of three loans represents the second largest exposure in the nonperforming category.  These loans were classified as nonperforming in the fourth quarter of 2009.  The borrower is engaged in real estate development.   Borrower collateral, including real estate and the personal guarantees of its principals, support the credit.  The Company took a $1.7 million charge-off related to this credit in the fourth quarter of 2009, and no charge-offs were taken in 2010 or 2011.  The Company took a $601,000 charge-off related to this credit in the first quarter of 2012.  The Company has not taken any charge-offs on this credit since then.

61

A $3.6 million credit to a manufacturer tied to the housing industry represented the third largest exposure in the nonperforming category.  This loan was classified as nonperforming in the second quarter of 2008.  The credit is accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring.  Borrower collateral including receivables, inventory and equipment support the credit; however, there are no guarantors.  The Company took a $906,000 charge-off related to this credit in 2008, a $1.7 million charge-off related to this credit in 2012 and an $88,000 charge-off related to this credit in the first quarter of 2013.

There can be no assurances that full repayment of the loans discussed above will occur.  Although economic conditions in the Company’s markets have stabilized and in some areas improved, management has not observed a rapid recovery in certain industries, including residential and commercial real estate development and recreational vehicle and mobile home manufacturing, although each of these sectors has improved.  The Company’s growth strategy has promoted diversification among industries as well as a continued focus on enforcement of a strong credit environment and an aggressive position on loan work-out situations.  While the Company believes that the impact on the Company of these industry-specific issues will be somewhat mitigated by the Company’s overall growth strategy, the economic factors impacting its entire geographic market will continue to present challenges.  Additionally, the Company’s overall asset quality position can be influenced by a small number of credits due to the focus on commercial lending activity and the granularity inherent in this strategy.

The Company has begun offering a new derivative product to certain commercial banking customers. This product allows the commercial banking customers to enter into an agreement with the Company to swap a variable rate loan to a fixed rate. These derivative products are designed to reduce, eliminate or modify the borrower's interest rate exposure.  The extension of credit incurred in connection with these derivative products is subject to the same approval and underwriting standards as traditional credit products. The Company limits its risk exposure by simultaneously entering into a similar, offsetting swap agreement with a separate, well-capitalized and highly rated counterparty previously approved by the Company’s Asset Liability Committee. By using these interest rate swap arrangements, the Company is also better insulated from the interest rate risk associated with underwriting fixed-rate loans and is better able to meet customer demand for fixed rate loans. These derivative contracts are not designated against specific assets or liabilities and, therefore, do not qualify for hedge accounting. The derivatives are recorded as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in non-interest income for both the commercial banking customer swaps and the related offsetting swaps.

Total deposits decreased by $136.9 million, or 5.3%, to $2.445 billion at September 30, 2013 from $2.582 billion at December 31, 2012. The decrease resulted from decreases of $101.3 million in interest bearing transaction accounts, $49.4 million in other certificates of deposit, $43.6 million in certificates of deposit of $100,000 and over, $28.0 million in brokered certificates of deposit and $19.5 in CDARS certificates of deposit.  The decrease in interest bearing transaction accounts was driven by a $66.4 million decline in Rewards Checking.  The Company proactively made changes in the Rewards program, including lowering the rate and lowering the cap on the level which earns the highest rate.  The Company believes that the decline in certificates of deposit are reflective of the ongoing low interest rate environment and the consumers’ desire to seek the highest rate in the market, which the Company sometimes does not match.  Offsetting these decreases were increases of $41.7 million in demand deposits, $23.8 million in money market accounts and $23.7 million in savings accounts and $15.7 million in public fund certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more.  The increase in demand deposits occurred as a result of a $46.2 million increase in commercial demand deposits.

62

Total short-term borrowings increased by $114.1 million, or 93.6%, to $236.0 million at September 30, 2013 from $121.9 million at December 31, 2012.  The increase resulted from increases of $75.0 million in other short-term borrowings, primarily advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis as well as increases of $57.0 million in federal funds purchased offset by decreases of $17.9 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

Total equity increased by $16.7 million, or 5.6%, to $314.5 million at September 30, 2013 from $297.8 million at December 31, 2012.  The increase in total equity resulted from net income of $28.3 million, minus the decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive income of $7.2 million, minus dividends of $6.3 million, plus $1.4 million in stock compensation expense, plus $498,000 related to stock options exercises (including tax benefit).

The FDIC’s risk-based capital regulations require that all insured banking organizations maintain an 8.0% total risk-based capital ratio. The FDIC has also established definitions of “well capitalized” as a 5.0% Tier I leverage capital ratio, a 6.0% Tier I risk-based capital ratio and a 10.0% total risk-based capital ratio.  As of September 30, 2013, the Bank had regulatory capital in excess of these minimum requirements with a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio of 10.8%, 13.1% and 14.4%, respectively, versus ratios of 10.3%, 12.7% and 14.0% as of December 31, 2012.  The Federal Reserve also has established minimum “well capitalized” regulatory capital requirements for bank holding companies.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company had a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio of 11.0%, 13.4% and 14.7%, respectively, versus ratios of 10.5%, 13.0% and 14.3% as of December 31, 2012.  These ratios exceeded the Federal Reserve’s “well capitalized” minimums of 5.0%, 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively

Beginning January 1, 2015 the Company and Bank will be subject to the new capital regulations of Basel III.  The new regulations establish higher minimum risk-based capital ratio requirements, a new common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a new capital conservation buffer.  The new regulations also include revisions to the definition of capital and changes in the risk-weighting of certain assets.  The new regulations establish definitions of “well-capitalized” including the capital conservation buffer as a 7.0%  common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, an 8.5% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a 10.5% total risk-based capital ratio.  The capital conservation buffer is being phased-in and will be in full effect beginning January 1, 2019.  Under the new regulations, all financial institutions must maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% to be considered “adequately capitalized” and 5% to be considered “well-capitalized.”  Management has completed a preliminary analysis of the impact of these new regulations to the capital ratios of both the Company and the Bank and estimates that the ratios for both the Company and the Bank will comfortably exceed the new minimum capital ratio requirements for “well-capitalized” including the capital conservation buffer under Basel III if they were effective at September 30, 2013.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document (including information incorporated by reference) contains, and future oral and written statements of the Company and its management may contain, forward-looking statements, within the meaning of such term in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of the Company. Forward-looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of the Company’s management and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should” or other similar expressions. Additionally, all statements in this document, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events.

The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. The factors, which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, are detailed in the “Risk Factors” section included under Item 1A. of Part I of our Form 10-K. In addition to the risk factors described in that section, there are other factors that may impact any public company, including ours, which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries.  These additional factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

·
Legislative or regulatory changes or actions, including the “Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act” and the regulations required to be promulgated thereunder, as well as rules recently implemented by the federal banking regulatory agencies concerning certain increased capital requirements, among other items, which may adversely affect the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.
·
The costs, effects and outcomes of existing or future litigation.
·
Changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
·
The ability of the Company to manage risks associated with the foregoing as well as anticipated.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk represents the Company’s primary market risk exposure. The Company does not have a material exposure to foreign currency exchange risk, does not have any material amount of derivative financial instruments and does not maintain a trading portfolio. The Board of Directors annually reviews and approves the policy used to manage interest rate risk. The policy was last reviewed and approved in May 2013. The policy sets guidelines for balance sheet structure, which are designed to protect the Company from the impact that interest rate changes could have on net income but does not necessarily indicate the effect on future net interest income. The Company, through its Asset and Liability Committee, manages interest rate risk by monitoring the computer simulated earnings impact of various rate scenarios and general market conditions. The Company then modifies its long-term risk parameters by attempting to generate the types of loans, investments, and deposits that currently fit the Company’s needs, as determined by the Asset and Liability Committee. This computer simulation analysis measures the net interest income impact of various interest rate scenario changes during the next twelve months. If the change in net interest income is less than 3% of primary capital, the balance sheet structure is considered to be within acceptable risk levels. As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s potential pretax exposure was within the Company’s policy limit and not significantly different from the potential pretax exposure from December 31, 2012.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management has evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of September 30, 2013.  Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.  These disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, there were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting.
