NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2015

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation : The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, included in QCR Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2015. Accordingly, footnote disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements, have been omitted.

The financial information of the Company included herein has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Any differences appearing between the numbers presented in financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis are due to rounding. The results of the interim period ended September 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

The acronyms and abbreviations identified below are used in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as well as in Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations. It may be helpful to refer back to this page as you read this report.

Allowance: Allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases	NIM: Net interest margin
AOCI: Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)	NPA: Nonperforming asset
ASU: Accounting Standards Update	NPL: Nonperforming loan
BOLI: Bank-owned life insurance	OREO: Other real estate owned
Community National: Community National Bancorporation	OTTI: Other-than-temporary impairment
CRBT: Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust Company	Provision: Provision for loan/lease losses
Dodd-Frank Act: Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and	QCBT: Quad City Bank & Trust Company
Consumer Protection Act	RB&T: Rockford Bank & Trust Company
EPS: Earnings per share	SBA: U.S. Small Business Administration
Exchange Act: Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended	SEC: Securities and Exchange Commission
FASB: Financial Accounting Standards Board	TA: Tangible assets
FDIC: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation	TCE: Tangible common equity
FHLB: Federal Home Loan Bank	TDRs: Troubled debt restructurings
m2: m2 Lease Funds, LLC	USDA: U.S. Department of Agriculture

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries which include three commercial banks: QCBT, CRBT, and RB&T. All are state-chartered commercial banks. The Company also engages in direct financing lease contracts through m2 Lease Funds, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QCBT. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recent accounting developments : In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASU 2014-09 implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 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 steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 was originally effective for the Company on January 1, 2017, however, FASB recently issued ASU 2015-14 which defers the effective date in order to provide additional time for both public and private entities to evaluate the impact. ASU 2014-09 will now be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and it is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 1

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)-continued

In February 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . ASU 2015-02 is intended to improve targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). The ASU focuses on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. The ASU also reduces the number of consolidation models from four to two. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications : Certain amounts in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified, with no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity, to conform with the current period presentation.

At September 30, 2015, the investment portfolio included 483 securities. Of this number, 128 securities were in an unrealized loss position. The aggregate losses of these securities totaled less than 1% of the total amortized cost of the portfolio. Of these 128 securities, 48 securities had an unrealized loss for twelve months or more. All of the debt securities in unrealized loss positions are considered acceptable credit risks. Based upon an evaluation of the available evidence, including the recent changes in market rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these debt securities are temporary. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities before their anticipated recovery. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, equity securities represented less than 1% of the total portfolio.

The Company did not recognize OTTI on any debt or equity securities for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Of the general obligation and revenue bonds in the Company’s portfolio, the majority are unrated bonds that represent small, private issuances. All unrated bonds were underwritten according to loan underwriting standards and have an average loan risk rating of 2, indicating very high quality. Additionally, many of these bonds are funding essential municipal services such as water, sewer, education, and medical facilities.

The Company’s municipal securities are owned by each of the three charters, whose investment policies set forth limits for various subcategories within the municipal securities portfolio. Each charter is monitored individually, and as of September 30, 2015, all were well within policy limitations approved by the board of directors. Policy limits are calculated as a percentage of total risk-based capital.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s standard monitoring of its municipal securities portfolio had not uncovered any facts or circumstances resulting in significantly different credit ratings than those assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or in the case of unrated bonds, the rating assigned using the credit underwriting standards.

*Management performs an evaluation of the estimated unguaranteed residual values of leased assets on an annual basis, at a minimum. The evaluation consists of discussions with reputable and current vendors, which is combined with management’s expertise and understanding of the current states of particular industries to determine informal valuations of the equipment. As necessary and where available, management will utilize valuations by independent appraisers. The large majority of leases with residual values contain a lease options rider, which requires the lessee to pay the residual value directly, finance the payment of the residual value, or extend the lease term to pay the residual value. In these cases, the residual value is protected and the risk of loss is minimal. There were no losses related to residual values for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 .

**Includes residential real estate loans held for sale totaling $533,225 and $553,000 as of September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)-continued

For commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator consists of internally assigned risk ratings. Each commercial loan is assigned a risk rating upon origination. The risk rating is reviewed every 15 months, at a minimum, and on an as-needed basis depending on the specific circumstances of the loan.

For direct financing leases, residential real estate loans, and installment and other consumer loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator is performance determined by delinquency status. Delinquency status is updated daily by the Company’s loan system.

For each class of financing receivable, the following presents the recorded investment by credit quality indicator as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Some of the wholesale structured repurchase agreements have a one-time put option, at the discretion of the counterparty, to terminate the agreement and require the subsidiary bank to repay at predetermined dates prior to the stated maturity date of the agreement. Of the $115.0 million in wholesale structured repurchase agreements outstanding at September 30, 2015, $50.0 million are putable in 2016 and $20.0 million are putable in 2017.

The wholesale structured repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities with a carrying value of $138.3 million and $153.8 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had a 4-year term note with principal and interest due quarterly. Interest was calculated at the effective LIBOR rate plus 3.00% per annum (3.23% at December 31, 2014) and the balance totaled $17,625,000 at December 31, 2014. After two quarterly principal payments totaling $2,350,000 were made in January and April 2015, the resulting balance of the term debt was $15,275,000. In May 2015, the Company repaid this term note in its entirety without prepayment penalty and using proceeds from a common stock offering. Additional information regarding the capital raise and balance sheet restructuring is described in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Additionally, as of December 31, 2014, the Company maintained a $10.0 million revolving line of credit note where the interest is calculated at the effective LIBOR rate plus 2.50% per annum. At December 31, 2014, the Company had not borrowed on this revolving credit note and had the full amount available. At the renewal date in June 2015, the note was amended to increase the maximum amount available. The Company now maintains a $40.0 million revolving line of credit note, with interest calculated at the effective LIBOR rate plus 2.50% per annum. At September 30, 2015, the Company had not borrowed on this revolving credit note and had the full amount available.

The current revolving note agreement contains certain covenants that place restrictions on additional debt and stipulate minimum capital and various operating ratios.

NOTE 7 – COMMON STOCK OFFERING AND BALANCE SHEET RESTRUCTURING

On May 13, 2015, the Company announced the closing of an underwritten public offering of 3,680,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $18.25 per share. The net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, totaled $63.5 million. As a result of the capital raise, the Company’s regulatory capital ratios increased significantly. Additional information regarding regulatory capital is described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company utilized the proceeds from the common stock offering to restructure certain debt obligations and to bolster overall capital levels. Specifically, the Company repaid $15.3 million of holding company senior debt at an interest rate of 3.27%, and $2.7 million of subordinated debt at an interest rate of 6.00%. Additionally, $85.5 million of FHLB advances and wholesale structured repurchase agreements at a weighted average interest rate of 4.36% were prepaid at QCBT and CRBT. As a result of this planned restructuring, the Company incurred $6.9 million (pre-tax) in losses for debt extinguishment that were recognized in the second quarter of 2015.

Of the $103.5 million in debt extinguishments, $63.5 million was funded with the proceeds from the common stock issuance. Approximately $27.7 million was funded through the maturity of low-yielding securities. Brokered CDs and overnight FHLB advances were utilized to fund the remaining $12.3 million. The weighted average interest rate on these new borrowings was approximately 0.90%.

This restructuring and deleveraging significantly reduced the wholesale borrowings portfolio of the Company, which includes FHLB advances, wholesale structured repurchase agreements, and brokered time deposits. The table below presents the maturity schedule including weighted average cost for the Company’s combined wholesale borrowings portfolio.

Total wholesale borrowings decreased $71.9 million from December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015. Specifically, FHLB advances decreased $70.5 million, wholesale structured repurchase agreements decreased $15.0 million, and brokered time deposits increased $13.6 million, as liquidity needs were supplemented with this source. The average cost of wholesale borrowings decreased from 2.66% to 2.00% and the average duration shortened, as many of the borrowings that were extinguished were long-term in nature. Of the $85.5 million in FHLB advances and wholesale structured repurchase agreements that were prepaid, $30.5 million were set to mature in 2016, $15.0 million in 2017, $10.0 million in 2018 and $30.0 million in 2019. The weighted average duration of these borrowings was 2.56 years.

NOTE 8 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and subsidiary banks’ financial statements.

Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the subsidiary banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the subsidiary banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total common equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets, each as defined by regulation. Management believes, as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, that the Company and the subsidiary banks met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, to be categorized as “well capitalized,” an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage and common equity Tier 1 ratios as set forth in the following tables. The Company and the subsidiary banks’ actual capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are also presented in the following table (dollars in thousands). As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, each of the subsidiary banks met the requirements to be “well capitalized”.

In July 2013, the U.S. federal banking authorities approved the implementation of the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and issued rules effecting certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The Basel III Rules are applicable to all U.S. banks that are subject to minimum capital requirements, as well as to bank and savings and loan holding companies other than “small bank holding companies” (generally bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $1 billion).

The Basel III Rules not only increased most of the required minimum regulatory capital ratios, but they introduced a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio and the concept of a capital conservation buffer. Failure to maintain capital levels above Basel III minimums may lead to restrictions on dividends, share buybacks, discretionary payments on Tier 1 instruments and discretionary bonus payments.

The Basel III Rules also permit smaller banking organizations to retain, through a one-time election, the existing treatment for AOCI, which excluded the affect of AOCI from regulatory capital. The Company made this election in the first quarter of 2015.

On August 27, 2015, the Company filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC. This registration statement, declared effective by the SEC on October 5, 2015, will allow the Company to issue various types of securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities or warrants, from time to time, up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million. The specific terms and prices of the securities will be determined at the time of any future offering and described in a separate prospectus supplement, which would be filed with the SEC at the time of the particular offering, if any.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE

Accounting guidance on fair value measurement uses a hierarchy intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy includes three levels and is based upon the valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities. The three levels are as follows:

●

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in markets;

●

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

●

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

A small portion of the securities available for sale portfolio consists of common stock issued by various unrelated bank holding companies. The fair values used by the Company are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1 inputs).

The remainder of the securities available for sale portfolio consists of securities whereby the Company obtains fair values from an independent pricing service. The fair values are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, LIBOR yield curve, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2 inputs).

Derivative instruments consist of interest rate caps that are used for the purpose of hedging interest rate risk. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the details of these instruments. The fair values are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data for derivative instruments with similar structures (Level 2 inputs).

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).

Impaired loans/leases are evaluated and valued at the time the loan/lease is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or fair value, and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans/leases. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets, including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable, and is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. Appraised and reported values are discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business.

OREO in the table above consists of property acquired through foreclosures and settlements of loans. Property acquired is carried at the estimated fair value of the property, less disposal costs, and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the property is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. Appraised and reported values are discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the property.

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:

NOTE 11 – BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

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 three subsidiary banks wholly owned by the Company: QCBT, CRBT, and RB&T. Each of these secondary segments offers similar products and services, but is managed separately due to different pricing, product demand, and consumer markets. Each offers commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans and deposit services.

The Company’s Wealth Management segment represents the trust and asset management and investment management and advisory services offered at the Company’s three subsidiary banks in aggregate. This segment generates income primarily from fees charged based on assets under administration for corporate and personal trusts, custodial services, and investments managed. No assets of the subsidiary banks have been allocated to the Wealth Management segment.

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.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

The Company reported net income of $6.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and diluted EPS of $0.55. By comparison, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported a net loss of $524 thousand, and diluted EPS of ($0.05). During the second quarter, the Company successfully executed several planned initiatives aimed at improving the long-term profitability of the Company and strengthening its capital base. As a result, financial performance was greatly impacted by several previously announced nonrecurring income and expense items; most prominently the one-time expense related to the prepayment of certain FHLB advances and other wholesale borrowings, which totaled approximately $4.5 million (after-tax). For the third quarter of 2014, the Company reported net income of $4.1 million, and diluted EPS of $0.50. As a result of the redemption of all of the Company’s remaining outstanding shares of preferred stock in the second quarter of 2014, none of these periods included preferred stock dividends.

Item 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company reported net income of $10.1 million and diluted EPS of $1.01. By comparison, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company reported net income of $12.0 million, and diluted EPS of $1.35, after preferred stock dividends of $1.1 million.

The third quarter of 2015 was highlighted by several significant items:

●

Net interest margin improvement of 18 basis points, quarter-over-quarter, primarily attributable to the balance sheet restructuring described in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements;

●

Loan and lease growth at an annualized rate of 10.3% through the first nine months of the year;

●

Strong gains on the sale of government guaranteed portions of loans;

●

A gain on the sale of an OREO property totaling $1.2 million (pre-tax); and

●

Improved asset quality metrics, with a reduction in NPAs as a percentage of total assets from 1.61% at September 30, 2014 to 0.80% at the current quarter-end.

Following is a table that represents the various net income measurements for the Company.

Core net income for the quarter included a $788 thousand (after-tax) gain on the sale of other real estate. While this gain is considered core income, it is non-recurring in nature. Core net income for the quarter excluded after-tax gains on the sale of securities of $37 thousand and after-tax income from the conclusion of a favorable lawsuit of $252 thousand.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company reported core net income (non-GAAP) of $14.6 million, with diluted core EPS of $1.45. Core net income year-to-date excludes $5.0 million of after-tax non-recurring expenses, $4.5 million of which related to the previously announced prepayment of FHLB advances and other wholesale borrowings during the second quarter of 2015.

In comparing quarter-over-quarter, following are some noteworthy changes in the Company’s financial results:

●

Net interest income increased 9% compared to the second quarter of 2015 and increased 15% from the same period in 2014.

●

Provision decreased 30% compared to the second quarter of 2015. The increased provision in the second quarter of 2015 was the result of a $971 thousand increase in a specific allowance allocated to one relationship at QCBT. This relationship was not a new NPA, but new circumstances developed in the second quarter requiring an increase in specific allowance allocation. This relationship was subsequently charged off in the third quarter of 2015. Provision increased 54% from the same period in 2014, primarily due to loan growth and changes in qualititative factors utilized in the calculation.

●

Noninterest income increased 35% compared to the second quarter of 2015. Noninterest income increased 48% from the third quarter of 2014. Noninterest income in the third quarter of 2015 included a $1.2 million gain on the sale of an OREO property, a $387 thousand lawsuit award and a strong quarter of gains on the sale of government guaranteed portions of loans ($760 thousand compared to $69 thousand and $159 thousand for the quarters ending June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively).

●

Noninterest expense decreased 29% compared to the second quarter of 2015. The second quarter of 2015 included several nonrecurring expense items totaling approximately $7.7 million, $6.9 million of which related to the extinguishment of debt discussed in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Noninterest expense increased 4% from the third quarter of 2014.

●

Federal and state income tax increased significantly compared to the second quarter of 2015 and the same period in the prior year. The company recognized a large tax benefit in the second quarter of 2015 due to a reduction in taxable income. See the Income Taxes section of this report for additional details.

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

The Company took the following actions to support our corporate strategy and the long-term financial goals shown above.

●

Loan growth for the first nine months of 2015 was 10.3% on an annualized basis. This was within the Company’s target organic growth rate of 10-12%. A majority of this growth was in the commercial and industrial loan category. As of September 30, 2015,this segment of the portfolio accounted for 37% of total loans and leases. At the same time, the Company has reduced its reliance on commercial real estate loans, with that segment representing 39% of the portfolio as of September 30, 2015. This loan and lease growth has continued to help move the loan and lease to total asset ratio upward to 68%, from 67% in the second quarter of 2015 and 64% one year ago. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate market opportunities to rotate out of securities and into loans and leases, as this will also make the balance sheet more profitable. Generally, securities have a lower yield, therefore, by replacing with loans and leases, the Company will continue to improve NIM.

●

In the second quarter of 2015, the Company executed a balance sheet restructuring that greatly reduced borrowings and the weighted average cost of borrowings in order to improve the long-term profitability of the Company. Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The majority of the debt restructuring activity was executed mid-quarter, so management expected to see net interest margin improvement in the third quarter. Management anticipated that the quarterly net interest margin percentage would be in the range of 3.40% to 3.45%; however, due to improvement in the Company’s yield on securities and yield on loans and leases, NIM improved to 3.51% for the third quarter.

●

The Company has been heavily focused on reducing NPAs to total assets ratio to below 1.00% and was successful in achieving this benchmark during the third quarter, with an actual ratio of 0.80%. The reduction of NPAs was primarily due to the sale of a large OREO property during the quarter, as well as the charge-off of a nonaccrual loan that was fully reserved in prior periods. The Company plans to continue to dispose of OREO properties to further improve asset quality ratios. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had four OREO properties totaling $7.1 million. Additionally, the Company had two nonaccrual relationships totaling $6.9 million. In total, these six relationships made up $14.0 million, or 68%, of our Company’s NPAs as of September 30, 2015. The Company will concentrate workout efforts on these six relationships.

●

Management continues to focus on reducing the Company’s reliance on wholesale funding. The balance sheet restructuring that was executed in the second quarter lowered the Company’s reliance by 4%, from 26% at September 30, 2014 to 22% at June 30, 2015. In the third quarter of 2015, the Company lowered its reliance by another 1%, primarily due to brokered CD maturities that were replaced with core deposits. Management continues to closely evaluate opportunities for further reduction in wholesale funding.

●

Correspondent banking continues to be a core line of business for the Company. The Company is competitively positioned with veteran staff, software systems and processes to continue growing in the three states currently served – Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. The Company acts as the correspondent bank for 172 downstream banks with total noninterest bearing deposits of approximately $272.0 million as of September 30, 2015. This line of business provides a strong source of noninterest bearing deposits, fee income and high-quality loan participations.

Part I

Item 2

MANAGEMENT'S DESCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

●

The Company provides commercial leasing services through its wholly-owned subsidiary, m2 Lease Funds, which has lease specialists in Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Pennsylvania. Historically, this portfolio has been high yielding, with an average gross yield through the first nine months of 2015 approximating 8.4%. This portfolio has also shown strong asset quality throughout its history and the Company intends to grow this portfolio to 10% of consolidated assets.

●

SBA and USDA lending is a specialty lending area on which the Company has focused. Once these loans are originated, the government-guaranteed portion of the loan can be sold to the secondary market for premiums. The Company intends to make this a more significant and consistent source of noninterest income. In 2014, the Company hired a government-guaranteed lending specialist in the QCBT market. Also in 2014, in the CRBT market, the Company added a USDA relationship manager to CRBT’s specialty lending team.

●

Wealth management is another core line of business for the Company and offers a full range of products, including trust services, brokerage and investment advisory services, asset management, estate planning and financial planning. As of September 30, 2015 the Company had $1.69 billion of total financial assets in trust (and related) accounts and $660 million of total financial assets in brokerage (and related) accounts. Continued growth in assets under management will help to drive trust and investment advisory fees, with a goal of growing this line item 15% annually. The Company hired four business development officers in 2014 to help with this strategy. Additionally, the Company has started offering trust and investment advisory services to the correspondent banks that it serves. As management focuses on growing fee income, expanding market share will continue to be a primary strategy.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

The following table presents certain non-GAAP financial measures related to the “tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio”, “core net income”, “core net income attributable to QCR Holdings, Inc. common stockholders”, “core earnings per common share” and “core return on average assets”. The table also reconciles the GAAP performance measures to the corresponding non-GAAP measures.

The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio has been a focus for investors and management believes that this ratio may assist investors in analyzing the Company’s capital position without regard to the effects of intangible assets.

The table below also includes several “core” measurements of financial performance. The Company's management believes that these measures are important to investors as they exclude non-recurring income and expense items; therefore, they provide a better comparison for analysis and may provide a better indicator of future run-rates.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

NET INTEREST INCOME - (TAX EQUIVALENT BASIS)

Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased 16% to $21.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. For the nine months ending September 30, 2015, net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased 11% to $60.1 million. Net interest income improved due to several factors:

●

The Company’s strategy to redeploy funds from the taxable securities portfolio into higher yielding loans and leases;

●

Organic loan and lease growth has been strong over the past twelve months, as evidenced by average gross loan/lease growth of 11% in that period; and

●

The Company’s balance sheet restructuring and deleveraging strategy that was executed in the second quarter of 2015. This strategy reduced high-cost borrowings and resulted in a decrease in the cost of total interest bearing liabilities from 0.99% to 0.71%, or 28 basis points, comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2014. Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

A comparison of yields, spread and margin from the third quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2015 is as follows (on a tax equivalent basis):

●

The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 11 basis points.

●

The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 28 basis points.

●

The net interest spread increased 39 basis points from 2.90% to 3.29%.

●

The net interest margin improved 36 basis points from 3.15% to 3.51%.

A comparison of yields, spread and margin from the first nine months of 2014 to the first nine months of 2015 is as follows (on a tax equivalent basis):

●

The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 11 basis points.

●

The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 16 basis points.

●

The net interest spread increased 27 basis points from 2.86% to 3.13%.

●

The net interest margin improved 24 basis points from 3.13% to 3.37%.

The Company’s management closely monitors and manages net interest margin. From a profitability standpoint, an important challenge for the Company’s subsidiary banks and leasing company is the improvement of their net interest margins. Management continually addresses this issue with pricing and other balance sheet management strategies.

During 2014 and 2015, the Company placed an emphasis on shifting its balance sheet mix. With a stated goal of increasing loans/leases as a percentage of assets to at least 70%, the Company has funded this loan/lease growth with a mixture of core deposits and cash from the maturities, sales and pay downs in the taxable investment securities portfolio.

Strategies are continuously being evaluated in which securities are sold and the cash is redeployed into the loan/lease portfolio, with little to no extension of duration and a significant increase in yield. Additionally, the Company is recognizing net gains on these sales due to the current low rate environment. As rates rise, the Company will also have less market volatility in the investment securities portfolio, as this continues to become a smaller portion of the balance sheet.

Part I

Item 2

MANAGEMENT'S DESCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

The Company continues to monitor and evaluate both prepayment and debt restructuring opportunities within the wholesale funding portion of the balance sheet, as such a strategy may increase net interest margin at a quicker pace than holding the debt until maturity.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

Based on its consideration of accounting policies that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, management has identified its most critical accounting policy to be that related to the allowance.

The Company’s allowance methodology incorporates a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative, in establishing an allowance that management believes is appropriate at each reporting date. Quantitative factors include the Company’s historical loss experience, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in NPLs, and other factors. Quantitative factors also incorporate known information about individual loans/leases, including borrowers’ sensitivity to interest rate movements.

Qualitative factors include the general economic environment in the Company’s markets, including economic conditions throughout the Midwest, and in particular, the state of certain industries. Size and complexity of individual credits in relation to loan/lease structure, existing loan/lease policies and pace of portfolio growth are other qualitative factors that are considered in the methodology.

Management may report a materially different amount for the provision in the statement of income to change the allowance if its assessment of the above factors were different. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere herein, as well as the portion in the section entitled “Financial Condition” of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis that discusses the allowance.

Although management believes the level of the allowance as of September 30, 2015 was adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan/lease portfolio, a decline in local economic conditions, or other factors, could result in increasing losses that cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.

OTHER–THAN-TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENT

The Company’s assessment of OTTI of its investment securities portfolio is another critical accounting policy due to the level of judgment required by management. Investment securities are evaluated to determine whether declines in fair value below their cost are other-than-temporary.

In estimating OTTI losses, management considers a number of factors including, but not limited to, (1) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) the current market conditions, and (4) the intent of the Company to not sell the security prior to recovery and whether it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery. The discussion regarding the Company’s assessment of OTTI should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income increased 6%, comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the same period of 2014 and 5%, comparing the first nine months of 2015 to the same period of 2014.

A portion of this growth was the result of the Company’s strategy to redeploy funds from the securities portfolio into higher yielding loans and leases. In addition, organic loan and lease growth has been strong over the past twelve months.

Overall, the Company’s average earning assets increased 4%, comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2014. During the same time period, average gross loans and leases increased 11%, while average securities decreased 12%.

The securities portfolio yield continued to increase (from 2.74% for the third quarter of 2014 to 3.14% for the third quarter of 2015) as the Company continued to sell low-yielding investments taking advantage of favorable market opportunities. Additionally, the Company continued to take actions to diversify its securities portfolio, including increasing its portfolio of tax-exempt municipal securities, in an effort to increase tax equivalent interest income without additional income tax expense.

The Company intends to continue to grow quality loans and leases as well as diversify its securities portfolio to maximize yield while minimizing credit and interest rate risk.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2015 decreased 30% from the third quarter of 2014. For the first nine months of 2015, interest expense decreased 16% compared to the first nine months of 2014. The Company has been successful in maintaining pricing discipline on deposits and decreasing the cost of borrowings, which has more than offset the growth impact and contributed to the net decline in interest expense.

Management has placed a strong focus on reducing the reliance on long-term wholesale funding as it tends to be higher cost than deposits. In the second quarter of 2015, the Company executed a balance sheet restructuring that is estimated to save $4.2 million of interest expense annually. Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this restructuring.

Management continues to consider strategies to accelerate the reduction of the reliance on wholesale funding and continue the shift in mix to a funding base consisting of a higher percentage of core deposits, including noninterest-bearing deposits. An important consideration to these strategies, however, will be the impact on the Company’s interest rate risk position, as some of its wholesale funding was originally borrowed to help strengthen the Company’s net interest income in rising interest rate scenarios.

PROVISION FOR LOAN/LEASE LOSSES

The provision is established based on a number of factors, including the Company’s historical loss experience, delinquencies and charge-off trends, the local and national economy and risk associated with the loans/leases in the portfolio as described in more detail in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section.

The Company’s provision totaled $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2015, which was down $713 thousand from the prior quarter. The increased provision in the second quarter of 2015 was primarily the result of a $971 thousand increase in a specific allowance allocated to one relationship at QCBT, as well as general allowances allocated to new loan growth. This relationship was not a new NPA, but new circumstances developed in the second quarter requiring an increase in specific allowance allocation. This NPA was subsequently charged-off in the third quarter at no additional loss. Provision increased $572 thousand compared to the third quarter of 2014, primarily due to loan growth and changes in qualitative factors utilized in the calculation.

The Company had net charge-offs of $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2015 which, when coupled with the provision of $1.6 million, decreased the Company’s allowance to $25.5 million at September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s allowance to total loans/leases was 1.45%, which was down slightly from 1.52% at June 30, 2015, and flat compared to September 30, 2014.

A more detailed discussion of the Company’s allowance can be found in the “Financial Condition” section of this report.

MANAGEMENT'S DESCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

Trust department fees continue to be a significant contributor to noninterest income, increasing 13% from the third quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2015 and increasing 9% when comparing the first nine months of 2014 to the first nine months of 2015. Income is generated primarily from fees charged based on assets under administration for corporate and personal trusts and for custodial services. The majority of the trust department fees are determined based on the value of the investments within the fully managed trusts. As the markets have strengthened with the national economy’s recovery from recession, the Company’s fee income has experienced similar growth. In recent years, the Company has been successful in expanding its customer base, which has helped to drive the increases in fee income. Additionally, the Company recently started offering trust operations services to correspondent banks. Fees are expected to continue to grow as this new offering is rolled out.

Management has placed a strong emphasis on growing its investment advisory and management services. Part of this initiative has been to restructure the Company’s Wealth Management Division to allow for more efficient delivery of products and services through selective additions of talent as well as leverage of and collaboration among existing resources (including the aforementioned trust department). Similar to trust department fees, these fees are largely determined based on the value of the investments managed. And, similar to the trust department, the Company has had some success in expanding its customer base, which has helped drive the recent increases in fee income. Investment advisory fees increased 8% from the third quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2015 and when comparing the first nine months of 2014 to the first nine months of 2015.

Deposit service fees expanded 2%, comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the same period in 2014 and 3%, comparing the first nine months of 2015 to the same period in 2014. The Company continues its emphasis on shifting the mix of deposits from brokered and retail time deposits to non-maturity demand deposits across all its markets. With this shift in mix, the Company has increased the number of demand deposit accounts, which tend to be lower in interest cost and higher in service fees. The Company plans to continue this shift in mix and to further focus on growing deposit service fees.

Gains on sales of residential real estate loans decreased 30%, comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2014 and decreased 16%, comparing the first nine months of 2015 to the same period of 2014. With the sustained historically low interest rate environment, refinancing activity has slowed, as many of the Company’s existing and prospective customers have already executed a refinancing. Therefore, this area has become a much smaller contributor to overall noninterest income.

The Company’s gains on the sale of government-guaranteed portions of loans for the third quarter of 2015 were up 379%, compared to the third quarter of 2014 and were up 5%, comparing the first nine months of 2015 to the same period in 2014. As one of its core strategies, the Company continues to leverage its small business lending expertise by taking advantage of programs offered by the SBA and the USDA. The Company’s portfolio of government-guaranteed loans has grown as a direct result of the Company’s strong expertise in SBA and USDA lending. In some cases, it is more beneficial for the Company to sell the government-guaranteed portion on the secondary market for a premium rather than retain the loans in the Company’s portfolio. Sales activity for government-guaranteed portions of loans tends to fluctuate depending on the demand for small business loans that fit the criteria for the government guarantee. Further, some of the transactions can be large and, as the gain is determined as a percentage of the guaranteed amount, the resulting gain on sale can be large. Lastly, a strategy for improved pricing is packaging loans together for sale. From time to time, the Company may execute on this strategy, which may delay the gains on sales of some loans to achieve better pricing. The Company has added additional talent and is executing on strategies in an effort to make this a more consistent and larger source of revenue. The pipelines for SBA and USDA lending are strong, and management believes that the Company will continue to post strong numbers in this category.

Securities gains, net, were $57 thousand for the third quarter of 2015, which were up from $19 thousand in the third quarter of the prior year. For the first nine months of 2015, securities gains, net, totaled $474 thousand, as the Company took advantage of market opportunities by selling approximately $65.9 million of government agency investments that were low-yielding. Proceeds were then used to purchase higher-yielding, tax-exempt municipal bonds and to fund loan and lease growth. This strategy is being used to shift the balance sheet mix in an effort to improve profitability. The Company intends to redeploy funds from the investment portfolio into higher yielding loans and leases, with a goal of growing loans and leases to 70-75% of total assets.

Earnings on BOLI decreased 6% from the third quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2015 and increased 3% comparing the first nine months of 2014 to the first nine months of 2015. There were no purchases of BOLI that contributed to this increase. Notably, a small portion of the Company’s BOLI is variable in nature whereby the returns are determined by the performance of the equity market. Management intends to continue to review its BOLI investments to be consistent with policy and regulatory limits in conjunction with the rest of its earning assets in an effort to maximize returns while minimizing risk.

As a result of the sustained historically low interest rate environment, the Company was able to execute several interest rate swaps on select commercial loans, resulting in fee income of $63 thousand for the third quarter of 2015 and $1.2 million for the first three quarters of 2015. The interest rate swaps allow the commercial borrowers to pay a fixed interest rate while the Company receives a variable interest rate as well as an upfront fee dependent upon the pricing. Management believes that these swaps help position the Company more favorably for rising rate environments. Management will continue to review opportunities to execute these swaps at all of its subsidiary banks, as the circumstances are appropriate for the borrower and the Company.

Debit card fees are the interchange fees paid on certain debit card customer transactions. Debit card fees increased 15% comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2014 and increased 3% comparing the first nine months of 2015 to the first nine months of 2014. These fees can vary based on customer debit card usage, so fluctuations from period to period may occur. As an opportunity to maximize fees, the Company offers a deposit product with a modestly increased interest rate that incentivizes debit card activity.

Correspondent banking fees increased 5%, comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2014 and increased 23%, comparing the first nine months of 2015 to the first nine months of 2014. Correspondent banking continues to be a core strategy for the Company, as this line of business provides a high level of noninterest bearing deposits that can be used to fund loan growth as well as a steady source of fee income. In 2014, the Company expanded its territory to Wisconsin in order to continue to build this business unit. The Company now serves approximately 172 banks in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin.

Participation service fees on commercial loan participations represent fees paid to the Company by the participant(s) to cover servicing expenses incurred by the Company. The fee is generally 25 basis points of the participated loan amount. Additionally, the Company receives a mandated 1% servicing fee on the sold portion of government-guaranteed loans. Participation service fees decreased 8%, comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2014 and grew 2%, comparing the first nine months of 2015 to the first nine months of 2014.

During the third quarter of 2015, the Company had net gains from the sales of OREO properties totaling $1.1 million. Most notably, this included a $1.2 million gain on the sale of a large OREO property that also reduced NPAs by $3.2 million. Year-to-date, the Company has recognized net gains totaling $1.2 million. Management continues to proactively manage its OREO portfolio in an effort to sell the properties as promptly as is prudent.

Gains on the disposal of leased assets totaled $89 thousand for the third quarter of 2015 and $251 thousand for the first nine months of the year. These gains are generated through the sale of leased assets at QCBT’s wholly-owned subsidiary, m2.

Income on OREO totaled $146 thousand for the third quarter of 2015 and $371 thousand for the first nine months of the year. This is primarily rental income that the Company is earning on foreclosed properties that are held in OREO.

The Company recognized $387 thousand of one-time income during the third quarter of 2015 from the favorable conclusion of a lawsuit.

MANAGEMENT'S DESCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

Salaries and employee benefits, which is the largest component of noninterest expense, increased from the third quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2015 by 2%. This category increased 8% comparing the first nine months of 2015 to the first nine months of 2014. This increase was largely the result of:

●

Customary annual salary and benefits increases for the majority of the Company’s employee base.

●

Higher accrued incentive compensation based on core net income.

●

Increased cost of providing health insurance to employees, including higher than expected claim experience.

●

Targeted talent additions. Throughout 2014, the Company added twelve business development/sales officers (four in the Wealth Management area, four in the Commercial Banking area, three in the Correspondent Banking area, and one at m2) in an effort to continue to grow market share. Four additional business development/sales officers (two in the Wealth Management area, one in the Commercial Banking area and one at m2) were added in the first nine months of 2015.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased 4%, comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the same period of the prior year and was flat, comparing the first nine months of 2015 to the same period of the prior year. The increased expense in the third quarter was mostly due to higher depreciation costs related to recently purchased software.

Professional and data processing fees increased 14%, comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the same period in 2014, and increased 4% comparing the first nine months of 2015 to the same period of the prior year. Generally, professional and data processing fees can fluctuate depending on certain one-time project costs. Management will continue to focus on minimizing such one-time costs and driving recurring costs down through contract renegotiation or managed reduction in activity where costs are determined on a usage basis. In the third quarter of 2015, the Company experienced higher consulting fees for one-time projects.

FDIC and other insurance expense decreased 1%, comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2014 and increased 1%, comparing the first nine months of 2015 to the first nine months of 2014. The slight increase in expense year-to-date was due to an increase in the asset base, upon which the FDIC and other regulatory agencies calculate their fees. On June 16, 2015, the FDIC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on proposed refinements to the deposit insurance assessment system for small insured depository institutions (generally, those institutions with less than $10 billion in total assets). The refinements become effective the quarter after the reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance Fund reaches 1.15%. The Company’s initial analysis projects an immaterial change to the annual cost of FDIC insurance based on the Company’s current operations.

Loan/lease expense increased 37%, comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the same quarter of 2014 and increased 20%, comparing the first nine months of 2015 to the same period of 2014. The Company incurred elevated levels of expense for certain existing NPAs in connection with the work-out of these loans and OREO properties. Generally, loan/lease expense has a direct relationship with the level of NPAs; however, it may deviate depending upon the individual NPAs. Management expects these historically elevated levels of expense to decline in line with the declining trend in NPAs. Additionally, a portion of these expenses are offset by the increase in income earned on OREO, as the income and expense related to repossessed properties must be recognized on a gross basis.

Bank service charges, which include costs incurred to provide services to QCBT’s correspondent banking customer portfolio, increased 16% from the third quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2015 and increased 14%, comparing the first nine months of 2015 to the first nine months of 2014. The increase was due, in large part, to the success QCBT has had in growing its correspondent banking customer portfolio.

The loan and lease growth was funded primarily by deposit growth. Deposits grew $18.6 million, or 1%, during the quarter. Borrowings were flat in the third quarter at $456 million. Stockholders’ equity increased $9.4 million, or 4%, in the current quarter due to the increase to retained earnings from net income, as well as an increase in AOCI.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The composition of the Company’s securities portfolio is managed to meet liquidity needs while prioritizing the impact on interest rate risk and maximizing return, while minimizing credit risk. The Company has further diversified the portfolio by decreasing U.S government sponsored agency securities and residential mortgage-backed securities, while increasing municipal securities. Of the latter, the large majority are privately placed debt issuances by municipalities located in the Midwest (with some in or near the Company’s existing markets) and require a thorough underwriting process before investment. Additionally, management will continue to diversify the portfolio with further growth strictly dictated by the pace of growth in deposits and loans. Management expects to fund future loan growth partially with cashflow from the securities portfolio (calls and maturities of government sponsored agencies, paydowns on residential mortgage-backed securities, and/or targeted sales of securities that meet certain criteria as defined by management).

Following is a breakdown of the Company’s securities portfolio by type, the percentage of unrealized gains (losses) to carrying value on the total portfolio, and the portfolio duration:

	As of
	September 30, 2015						June 30, 2015						December 31, 2014						September 30, 2014
	Amount			%			Amount			%			Amount			%			Amount			%
	(dollars in thousands)
U.S. govt. sponsored agency securities	$	247,625			42	%	$	256,444			43	%	$	307,869			47	%	$	306,005			47	%

Securities as a % of Total Assets		22.94	%					23.00	%					25.80	%					26.64	%
Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) as a % of Amortized Cost		0.41	%					(0.69%	)					(0.19%	)					(1.12%	)
Duration (in years)		4.5						4.9						4.4						4.6

As a result of fluctuations in longer-term interest rates, the fair value of the Company’s securities portfolio went from a net unrealized loss position of (0.69%) of amortized cost at June 30, 2015 to a net unrealized gain position of 0.41% of amortized cost at September 30, 2015. Management performs an evaluation of the portfolio quarterly to understand the current market value as well as projections of market value in a variety of rising and falling interest rate scenarios. In addition, management has evaluated those securities with an unrealized loss position to determine whether the loss is derived from credit deterioration or the movement in interest rates. The evaluation determined that there were no securities in the portfolio with OTTI. See the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of this report for further discussion on this evaluation.

Part I

Item 2

MANAGEMENT'S DESCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

The duration of the securities portfolio has stayed relatively flat over the past twelve months for two main reasons:

●

A portion of the government-sponsored agency securities contain call options at the discretion of the issuer whereby the issuer can call the security at par at certain times which vary by individual security. With a decline in longer-term market interest rates, the duration of these callable agency securities shortened, as the likelihood of a call increased.

●

Offsetting the shortened duration of the callable agencies, management continued the shift in mix with increases in longer-term, higher-yielding, tax-exempt municipals and reductions in lower-yielding government agencies and agency-sponsored mortgage-backed securities. Overall, this shift has led to modest extension of duration with significant increases in interest income (securities yield expanded from 2.74% in the third quarter of 2014 to 3.14% in the third quarter of 2015).

The Company has not invested in commercial mortgage-backed securities or pooled trust preferred securities. Additionally, the Company has not invested in the types of securities subject to the Volcker Rule (a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act).

See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company’s investment securities.

LOANS/LEASES

Total loans/leases grew 10.3% on an annualized basis during the first nine months of 2015. The mix of the loan/lease types within the Company’s loan/lease portfolio is presented in the following table.

Net loans/leases	$	1,730,138					$	1,689,238					$	1,606,929					$	1,550,101

As commercial real estate loans have historically been the Company’s largest portfolio segment, management places a strong emphasis on monitoring the composition of the Company’s commercial real estate loan portfolio. For example, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans relative to non owner-occupied loans. Owner-occupied loans are generally considered to have less risk. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, approximately 36% and 37% of the commercial real estate loan portfolio was owner-occupied.

Over the past several quarters, the Company has been successful in shifting the mix of its commercial loan portfolio by adding more commercial and industrial loans and direct financing leases, and fewer commercial real estate and construction loans. Commercial and industrial loans as a percentage of total loans and leases have grown from 31% at September 30, 2014 to 37% at the end of the current quarter. During the same period, the Company has reduced its investment in commercial real estate loans from 45% to 40%.

* “Other” consists of all other industries. None of these had concentrations greater than $15.0 million, or approximately 2% of total commercial real estate loans in the most recent period presented.

The Company’s residential real estate loan portfolio consists of the following:

●

Certain loans that do not meet the criteria for sale into the secondary market. These are often structured as adjustable rate mortgages with maturities ranging from three to seven years to avoid the long-term interest rate risk.

●

A limited amount of 15-year fixed rate residential real estate loans that meet certain credit guidelines.

The remaining residential real estate loans originated by the Company were sold on the secondary market to avoid the interest rate risk associated with longer term fixed rate loans. Loans originated for this purpose were classified as held for sale and are included in the residential real estate loans above. In addition, the Company has not originated any subprime, Alt-A, no documentation, or stated income residential real estate loans throughout its history.

The allowance was $25.5 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $23.1 million at December 31, 2014 and $22.8 million at September 30, 2014. Net charge-offs of loans/leases for the third quarter of 2015 were 13 basis points of average loans/leases. Year-to-date net charge-offs were 19 basis points of average loans/leases.

The allowance was determined based on factors that included the overall composition of the loan/lease portfolio, types of loans/leases, past loss experience, loan/lease delinquencies, potential substandard and doubtful credits, economic conditions, collateral positions, governmental guarantees and other factors that, in management’s judgment, deserved evaluation. To ensure that an adequate allowance was maintained, provisions were made based on a number of factors, including the increase in loans/leases and a detailed analysis of the loan/lease portfolio. The loan/lease portfolio is reviewed and analyzed monthly with specific detailed reviews completed on all loans risk-rated worse than “fair quality” and carrying aggregate exposure in excess of $100 thousand. The adequacy of the allowance is monitored by the loan review staff and reported to management and the board of directors.

The Company’s levels of criticized and classified loans are reported in the following table.

The Company experienced a 10% decrease in criticized loans during the third quarter of 2015, while classified loans decreased 6% during this same period. NPLs also decreased 17% during the same period. The Company continues its strong focus on improving credit quality in an effort to limit NPLs.

The following table summarizes the trend in the allowance as a percentage of gross loans/leases and as a percentage of NPLs.

Allowance / Nonperforming Loans/Leases *		207.39	%		176.02	%		114.78	%		79.83	%

*NPLs consist of nonaccrual loans/leases, accruing loans/leases past due 90 days or more, and accruing TDRs.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for acquisition accounting, the acquired Community National loans were recorded at market value; therefore, there was no allowance associated with Community National’s loans at acquisition.

Although management believes that the allowance at September 30, 2015 was at a level adequate to absorb losses on existing loans/leases, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts or that the Company will not be required to make additional provisions in the future. Unpredictable future events could adversely affect cash flows for both commercial and individual borrowers, which could cause the Company to experience increases in problem assets, delinquencies and losses on loans/leases, and require further increases in the provision. Asset quality is a priority for the Company and its subsidiaries. The ability to grow profitably is in part dependent upon the ability to maintain that quality. The Company continually focuses efforts at its subsidiary banks and leasing company with the intention to improve the overall quality of the Company’s loan/lease portfolio.

See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company’s allowance.

Includes TDRs of $1.9 million at September 30, 2015, $4.1 million at March 31, 2015, $5.0 million at December 31, 2014, $9.8 million at September 30, 2014, and $10.9 million at December 31, 2013.

(3)

Texas Ratio = Nonperforming Assets (excluding Other Repossessed Assets) / Tangible Equity plus Allowance. Texas Ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management included this ratio as it is considered by many investors and analysts to be a metric with which to analyze and evaluate asset quality. Other companies may calculate this ratio differently.

NPAs at September 30, 2015 were $20.6 million, which were down $6.5 million from June 30, 2015, and down $18.8 million from September 30, 2014. In addition, the ratio of NPAs to total assets was 0.80% at September 30, 2015, which was down from 1.07% at June 30, 2015, and down from 1.61% at September 30, 2014. During the first nine months of 2015, the Company saw improvement in NPAs due to the payoff or improved performance of nonaccrual loans, charge-offs, as well as the sale of OREO.

The large majority of the NPAs consist of nonaccrual loans/leases, accruing TDRs, and OREO. For nonaccrual loans/leases and accruing TDRs, management has thoroughly reviewed these loans/leases and has provided specific allowances as appropriate.

OREO is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Additionally, a portion of several of the nonaccrual loans are guaranteed by the government. At September 30, 2015, government guaranteed amounts of nonaccrual loans totaled approximately $736 thousand, or 7% of the $11.3 million of total nonaccrual loans/leases.

The Company’s lending/leasing practices remain unchanged and asset quality remains a top priority for management.

The Company has been successful in growing its noninterest bearing deposit portfolio over the past several years. During the third quarter, noninterest bearing demand deposits decreased 8%, however, they have increased 14% from the most recent year-end.

Quarter-end balances can fluctuate a great deal due to large customer and correspondent bank activity. Management will continue to focus on growing its noninterest bearing deposit portfolio, including its correspondent banking business at QCBT, as well as shifting the mix from brokered and other higher cost deposits to lower cost core deposits.

BORROWINGS

The subsidiary banks offer short-term repurchase agreements to some of their significant customers. Also, the subsidiary banks purchase federal funds for short-term funding needs from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago or from their correspondent banks. The table below presents the composition of the Company’s short-term borrowings.

	As of
	September 30, 2015		June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014		September 30, 2014

	$	167,564	$	168,575	$	268,352	$	162,187

It is management’s intention to continue to reduce its reliance on wholesale funding, including FHLB advances, wholesale structured repurchase agreements, and brokered time deposits. Replacement of this funding with core deposits helps to reduce interest expense as the wholesale funding tends to be higher cost. However, the Company may choose to utilize wholesale funding sources to supplement funding needs, as this is a way for the Company to effectively and efficiently manage interest rate risk.

See Notes 5, 6 and 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding FHLB advances, other borrowings and the balance sheet restructuring that occurred in the second quarter of 2015.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity measures the ability of the Company to meet maturing obligations and its existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to fund its operations, and to provide for customers’ credit needs. The Company monitors liquidity risk through contingency planning stress testing on a regular basis. The Company seeks to avoid over-concentration of funding sources and to establish and maintain contingent funding facilities that can be drawn upon if normal funding sources become unavailable. One source of liquidity is cash and short-term assets, such as interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, which averaged $118.5 million during the third quarter of 2015, $118.8 million during 2014 and $102.8 million during 2013. The Company’s on balance sheet liquidity position can fluctuate based on short-term activity in deposits and loans.

Part I

Item 2

MANAGEMENT'S DESCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

The subsidiary banks have a variety of sources of short-term liquidity available to them, including federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, FHLB advances, wholesale structured repurchase agreements, brokered time deposits, lines of credit, borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window, sales of securities available for sale, and loan/lease participations or sales. The Company also generates liquidity from the regular principal payments and prepayments made on its loan/lease portfolio, and on the regular monthly payments on its securities portfolio (both residential mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities).

The Company has emphasized growing the number and amount of lines of credit in an effort to strengthen this contingent source of liquidity. Additionally, the Company maintains a $40.0 million secured revolving credit note with a variable interest rate and a maturity of June 30, 2016. At September 30, 2015, the Company had not borrowed on this revolving credit note and had the full amount available.

The Company currently has $272.0 million in correspondent banking deposits spread over 172 relationships. While the Company feels that these funds are very stable, there is the potential for large fluctuations that can impact liquidity. Seasonality and the liquidity needs of these correspondent banks can impact balances. Management closely monitors these fluctuations and runs stress scenarios to measure the impact on liquidity and interest rate risk with various levels of correspondent deposit run-off.

Investing activities used cash of $46.2 million during the first nine months of 2015 and used $41.0 million for the same period of 2014. Proceeds from calls, maturities, paydowns, and sales of securities were $264.8 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $115.7 million for the same period of 2014. Purchases of securities used cash of $200.2 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $48.5 million for the same period of 2014. Of the $200.2 million in securities purchases, $122.5 million was short-term in nature and purchased for collateral needs. As of September 30, 2015, all of these short-term securities have matured. The net increase in loans/leases used cash of $129.4 million for the first nine months of 2015 compared to $115.6 million for the same period of 2014.

Financing activities provided cash of $25.9 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $22.5 million for same period of 2014. Net increases in deposits totaled $175.7 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $66.9 million for the same period of 2014. During the first nine months of 2015, the Company’s short-term borrowings decreased $100.8 million, while they increased $12.9 million for the same period of 2014. During the first nine months of 2015, the Company used $110.4 million to prepay select FHLB advances and other borrowings. In the same period, the Company received $63.5 million of proceeds from the public common stock offering of 3.7 million shares of common stock.

Total cash provided by operating activities was $23.1 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $18.9 million for the same period of 2014.

Throughout its history, the Company has secured additional capital through various sources, including the issuance of common and preferred stock, as well as trust preferred securities. Trust preferred securities are reported on the Company’s balance sheet as liabilities, but currently qualify for treatment as regulatory capital.

The following table presents the details of the trust preferred securities issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2015.

The Company assumed the trust preferred securities originally issued by Community National in connection with its acquisition in May 2013. As a result of acquisition accounting, the liabilities were recorded at fair value upon acquisition with the resulting discount being accreted as interest expense on a level yield basis over the expected term. The original discount totaled $2.6 million. As of September 30, 2015, the remaining discount was $2.3 million.

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,” “bode,” “predict,” “suggest,” “project,” “appear,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “likely,” 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 Company’s operations and future prospects are detailed in the “Risk Factors” sections included under Item 1A of Part I of the Company’s Form 10-K and Item 1A of Part II of this report. In addition to the risk factors described in that section, there are other factors that may impact any public company, including the Company, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries.

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

Part I

Item 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to direct and indirect market risk. Direct market risk exists from changes in interest rates. The Company’s net income is dependent on its net interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net interest income.

In an attempt to manage the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates, management monitors the Company’s interest rate risk. Each subsidiary bank has an asset/liability management committee of the board of directors that meets quarterly to review the bank’s interest rate risk position and profitability, and to make or recommend adjustments for consideration by the full board of each bank.

Internal asset/liability management teams consisting of members of the subsidiary banks’ management meet weekly to manage the mix of assets and liabilities to maximize earnings and liquidity and minimize interest rate and other risks. Management also reviews the subsidiary banks’ securities portfolios, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the board's objectives in an effective manner. Notwithstanding the Company’s interest rate risk management activities, the potential for changing interest rates is an uncertainty that can have an adverse effect on net income.

In adjusting the Company’s asset/liability position, the board of directors and management attempt to manage the Company’s interest rate risk while maintaining or enhancing net interest margins. At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the board of directors and management may decide to increase the Company’s interest rate risk position somewhat in order to increase its net interest margin. The Company’s results of operations and net portfolio values remain vulnerable to increases in interest rates and to fluctuations in the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates.

Part I

Item 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

One method used to quantify interest rate risk is a short-term earnings at risk summary, which is a detailed and dynamic simulation model used to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. This simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest sensitive assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates net interest income exposure annually over a five-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth and various interest rate scenarios including no change in rates; 200, 300, 400, and 500 basis point upward shifts; and a 100 basis point downward shift in interest rates, where interest-bearing assets and liabilities reprice at their earliest possible repricing date.

The model assumes parallel and pro rata shifts in interest rates over a twelve-month period for the 200 basis point upward shift and 100 basis point downward shift. For the 400 basis point upward shift, the model assumes a parallel and pro rata shift in interest rates over a twenty-four month period. For the 500 basis point upward shift, the model assumes a flattening and pro rata shift in interest rates over a twelve-month period where the short-end of the yield curve shifts upward greater than the long-end of the yield curve.

Further, in recent years, the Company added additional interest rate scenarios where interest rates experience a parallel and instantaneous shift upward 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points and a parallel and instantaneous shift downward 100 basis points. The Company will run additional interest rate scenarios on an as-needed basis.

The asset/liability management committees of the subsidiary bank boards of directors have established policy limits of a 10% decline in net interest income for the 200 basis point upward parallel shift and the 100 basis point downward parallel shift. For the 300 basis point upward shock, the established policy limit has been increased to 25% decline in net interest income. The increased policy limit is appropriate as the shock scenario is extreme and unlikely and warrants a higher limit than the more realistic and traditional parallel/pro-rata shift scenarios.

Application of the simulation model analysis for select interest rate scenarios at the most recent quarter-end available is presented in the following table:

				NET INTEREST INCOME EXPOSURE in YEAR 1
INTEREST RATE SCENARIO	POLICY LIMIT			As of June 30, 2015			As of December 31, 2014			As of December 31, 2013

100 basis point downward shift		-10.0	%		-2.3	%		-1.7	%		-1.0	%
200 basis point upward shift		-10.0	%		-3.3	%		-5.0	%		-4.8	%
300 basis point upward shock		-25.0	%		-7.1	%		-11.9	%		-11.0	%

The simulation is within the board-established policy limits for all three scenarios. Additionally, for all of the various interest rate scenarios modeled and measured by management (as described above), the results at June 30, 2015 (the most recent quarter available) were within established risk tolerances as established by policy or by best practice (if the interest rate scenario didn’t have a specific policy limit).

Part I

Item 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In 2014, the Company executed two interest rate cap transactions, each with a notional value of $15.0 million, for a total of $30.0 million. The interest rate caps purchased essentially set a ceiling to the interest rate paid on the $30.0 million of short-term FHLB advances that are being hedged, minimizing the interest rate risk associated with rising interest rates. The Company will continue to analyze and evaluate similar transactions as an alternative and cost effective way to mitigate interest rate risk.

Interest rate risk is considered to be one of the most significant market risks affecting the Company. For that reason, the Company engages the assistance of a national consulting firm and its risk management system to monitor and control the Company’s interest rate risk exposure. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities.

Item 1A Risk Factors

Other than the risk factor listed below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors applicable to the Company from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1.A. “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please refer to that section of the Company’s Form 10-K for disclosures regarding the risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s business.

Our correspondent banking business subjects us to concentration and lending risks.

We have significantly grown our portfolio of correspondent bank customers in recent years. As of September 30, 2015, noninterest-bearing correspondent bank deposits totaled approximately $272.0 million, which was 15% of our total deposits and 11% of our total assets. We closely monitor this concentration using measures such as detailed trend reporting on an individual bank basis. Should the liquidity needs change for our downstream correspondent banks and the level of the noninterest-bearing deposits they have with us decline, our liquidity would be negatively impacted. We may have to replace the funding with higher cost deposits or other borrowings, which could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.

As part of our relationship with some of our correspondent banking customers, in addition to credit arrangements at the depository institution, we also make secured loans to the parent bank holding company. As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately $67.0 million in loans outstanding to correspondent banking customers. Currently, consistent with market practices in this business line, we seek to structure these loans as senior secured loans and, with respect to our loans to bank holding companies, we take the capital stock of the subsidiary depository institution as collateral. Notwithstanding our efforts to manage the credit risks associated with our correspondent banking business, the failure or financial distress of a depository institution owned by a bank holding company to whom we have made a loan may result in an impairment of our loan and lease losses. To the extent that our correspondent banking customers experience deterioration in their financial condition, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely impacted.
