NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - continued

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, with the exception of SFC Bank which was acquired by merger on July 1, 2018, and include the accounts of four commercial banks:  QCBT, CRBT, CSB and RB&T. All are state-chartered commercial banks and all are members of the Federal Reserve system. The Company also engages in direct financing lease contracts through m2, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QCBT. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The acquisition of Guaranty Bank, headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa occurred on October 2, 2017 and Guaranty Bank was merged into CRBT on December 2, 2017. The financial results for the periods since acquisition are included in this report. See Note 2 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for additional information about the acquisition.

On July 1, 2018 , the Company completed its previously announced merger with Springfield Bancshares, the holding company of SFC Bank, headquartered in Springfield, Missouri. The financial results of Springfield Bancshares and SFC Bank are not included in this report because the closing was effective July 1, 2018.  See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the merger.

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 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 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016‑01, Financial Instruments–Overall . ASU 2016‑01 makes targeted adjustments to GAAP by eliminating the AFS classification for equity securities and requiring equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The standard also requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The standard clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to AFS securities in combination with the entity's other deferred tax assets. It also requires an entity to present separately (within other comprehensive income) the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. Additionally, the standard eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. Upon adoption of ASU 2016‑01 by the Company on January 1, 2018, the fair value of the Company's loan portfolio is now presented using an exit price method. Also, the Company is no longer required to disclose the methodologies used for estimating fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The remaining requirements of this update had no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02, Leases . Under ASU 2016‑02, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases). Lessor accounting is largely unchanged under ASU 2016‑02. However, the definition of initial direct costs was updated to include only initial direct costs that are considered incremental. This change in definition will change the manner in which the Company recognizes the costs associated with originating leases. ASU 2016‑02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is

permitted for all entities. The Company has analyzed the impact of adoption and has concluded that it will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses . Under the standard, assets measured at amortized costs (including loans, leases and AFS securities) will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Rather than the “incurred” model that is currently being utilized, the standard will require the use of a forward-looking approach to recognizing all expected credit losses at the beginning of an asset's life. For public companies, ASU 2016‑13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Companies may choose to early adopt for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Under the standard, entities are allowed to make a one-time reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings for the effect of remeasuring deferred tax liabilities and assets originally recorded in other comprehensive income as a result of the change in the federal tax rate as defined by the Tax Act. ASU 2018‑02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Companies may choose to early adopt for fiscal years or interim periods that have not been issued or made available for issuance as of February 14, 2018. The Company chose to early adopt ASU 2018‑02 and apply the guidance to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

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 June 30, 2018, the investment portfolio included 602 securities. Of this number, 303 securities were in an unrealized loss position. The aggregate losses of these securities totaled approximately 2.4% of the total amortized cost of the portfolio. Of these 303 securities, 42 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 lacks the intent 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.

The Company did not recognize OTTI on any investment securities for the three or six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

There were no sales of securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.  All sales of securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were from securities identified as AFS.  Information on proceeds received, as well as pre-tax gross gains and losses from sales on those securities are as follows:

The amortized cost and fair value of securities as of June 30, 2018 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities of residential mortgage-backed and related securities may differ from contractual maturities because the residential mortgages underlying the residential mortgage-backed and related securities may be prepaid without any penalties.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company's municipal securities portfolios were comprised of general obligation bonds issued by 122 issuers with fair values totaling $94.8 million and revenue bonds issued by 150 issuers, primarily consisting of states, counties, towns, villages and school districts with fair values totaling $360.9 million. The Company held investments in general obligation bonds in 26 states, including six states in which the aggregate fair value exceeded $5.0 million. The Company held investments in revenue bonds in 16 states, including seven states in which the aggregate fair value exceeded $5.0 million.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company's municipal securities portfolios were comprised of general obligation bonds issued by 131 issuers with fair values totaling $108.0 million and revenue bonds issued by 145 issuers, primarily consisting of states, counties, towns, villages and school districts with fair values totaling $337.3 million. The Company held investments in general obligation bonds in 26 states, including six states in which the aggregate fair value exceeded $5.0 million. The Company held investments in revenue bonds in 16 states, including seven states in which the aggregate fair value exceeded $5.0 million.

Both general obligation and revenue bonds are diversified across many issuers. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not hold general obligation or revenue bonds of any single issuer, the aggregate book or market value of which exceeded 5% of the Company's stockholders' equity. 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 four charters, whose investment policies set forth limits for various subcategories within the municipal securities portfolio. Each charter is monitored individually, and as of June 30, 2018, all were well within policy limitations approved by the board of directors. Policy limits are calculated as a percentage of each charter's total risk-based capital.

As of June 30, 2018, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

*** Includes residential real estate loans held for sale totaling $1,033,700 and $645,001 as of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Impaired loans/leases for which no allowance has been provided have adequate collateral, based on management's current estimates.

For C&I and CRE 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 certain C&I loans (equipment financing agreements), 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 the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, seven of the Company's TDRs redefaulted within 12 months subsequent to restructure where default is defined as delinquency of 90 days or more and/or placement on nonaccrual status. Three of these TDRs were related to one customer whose loans were restructured in the second quarter of 2017 with pre-modification balances totaling $78 thousand and the other TDRs related to other customers whose loans were restructured in the second and third quarters of 2017 with pre-modification balances totaling $378 thousand.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, two of the Company's TDRs redefaulted within 12 months subsequent to restructure where default is defined as delinquency of 90 days or more and/or placement on nonaccrual status. These two TDRs were related to the same customer and were restructured in the fourth quarter of 2016 with pre-modification balances totaling $195 thousand.

Not included in the table above, the Company had 8 TDRs that were restructured and charged off in 2018, totaling $577,377.  The Company had 2 TDRs that were restructured and charged off in 2017, totaling $65,623.

NOTE 4 – DERIVATIVES

The Company uses interest rate swap and cap instruments to manage interest rate risk related to the variability of interest payments due to changes in interest rates.  The Company entered into interest rate caps on June 5, 2014 to hedge against the risk of rising interest rates on short-term liabilities.  The short-term liabilities consist of $30.0 million of 1-month FHLB advances, and the benchmark rate hedged is 1-month LIBOR.  The interest rate caps are designated as a cash flow

The increase in weighted average common shares outstanding when comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2017 was primarily due to the common stock issuance discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017 .

NOTE 6 – 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.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis comprise the following at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017.

The securities AFS 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).

Interest rate caps are used for the purpose of hedging interest rate risk. The fair values are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data for derivative instruments with similar structures (Level 2 inputs).

Interest rate swaps are executed for select commercial customers. The interest rate swaps are further described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The fair values are determined by comparing the contract rate on the swap with the then-current market rate for the remaining term of the transaction (Level 2 inputs).

Interest rate swaps are also used for the purpose of hedging interest rate risk on junior subordinated debt.  The fair values are determined by comparing the contract rate on the swap with the then-current market rate for the remaining term of the transaction (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).

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis comprise the following at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

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 Company's primary segment, Commercial Banking, is geographically divided by markets into the secondary segments comprised of the five subsidiary banks wholly owned by the Company:  QCBT, CRBT, CSB, RB&T and SFC Bank. 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 five 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.

Selected financial information on the Company's business segments is presented as follows as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - continued

NOTE 8 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are presented in the following table (dollars in thousands). As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, each of the subsidiary banks met the requirements to be “well capitalized”.

NOTE 9 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014‑09 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of the guidance had no material impact on the measurement or recognition of revenue as approximately 89% of the Company's revenue (based on 2017 audited financial results) is outside the scope of this guidance; however, additional disclosures have been added in accordance with the ASU. See Note 1 for additional information on this new accounting standard.

Descriptions of our revenue-generating contracts with customers that are within the scope of ASU 2014‑09, which are presented in our income statements as components of non-interest income are as follows:

Trust department and Investment advisory and management fees : This is a contract between the Company and its customers for fiduciary and/or investment administration services on trust and brokerage accounts. Trust services and brokerage fee income is determined as a percentage of assets under management and is recognized over the period the underlying trust account is serviced. Such contracts are generally cancellable at any time, with the customer subject to a pro-rated fee in the month of termination.

Deposit service fees : The deposit contract obligates the Company to serve as a custodian of the customer's deposited funds and is generally terminable at will by either party. The contract permits the customer to access the funds on deposit and request additional services related to the deposit account. Deposit account related fees, including analysis charges, overdraft/nonsufficient fund charges, service charges, debit card usage fees, overdraft fees and wire transfer fees are within the scope of the guidance; however, revenue recognition practices did not change under the guidance, as deposit agreements are considered day-to-day contracts. Income for deposit accounts is recognized over the statement cycle period (typically on a monthly basis) or at the time the service is provided, if additional services are requested.

Correspondent banking fees: A contract between the Company and its correspondent banks for corresponding banking services. This line of business provides a strong source of noninterest bearing and interest bearing deposits, fee income, high-quality loan participations and bank stock loans. Correspondent banking fee income is tied to transaction activity and revenue is recognized monthly as earned for services provided.

NOTE 10 –MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

BATES COMPANIES

On March 20, 2018 the Company announced the signing of definitive agreements to acquire the Bates Companies, headquartered in Rockford, Illinois. The acquisition and subsequent merger of the Bates Companies into RB&T will enhance the wealth management services of RB&T by adding approximately $700.0 million of assets under management.

In the acquisition, the Company will acquire 100% of the Bates Companies' outstanding common stock for an aggregate consideration of $3.0 million cash and up to $3.0 million of the Company's common stock. In a private placement exempt from registration with the SEC, the Company expects to issue upon closing of the transaction approximately 21,528 common shares or $1.0 million of Company stock. Assuming all future performance based contingent consideration is realized total stock consideration can reach $3.0 million, which would result in the Company expecting to issue approximately 64,583 common shares based on closing stock price at the date of announcement.

This transaction is subject to regulatory approval and certain closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close early in fourth quarter of 2018.

SPRINGFIELD BANCSHARES, INC.

On July 1, 2018, the Company completed its previously announced merger with Springfield Bancshares, the holding company of SFC Bank, headquartered in Springfield, Missouri. SFC Bank is a Missouri-chartered bank that operates one location in the Springfield, Missouri market.  As a result of the transaction, SFC Bank became the Company’s fifth independent charter.

Stockholders of Springfield Bancshares received 0.3060 shares of the Company’s common stock and $1.50 in cash in exchange for each common share of Springfield Bancshares held.  On June 29, 2018, the last trading date before the closing, the Company’s common stock closed at $47.45, resulting in stock consideration valued at $79.2 million and total consideration paid by the Company of $87.4 million. To help fund the cash portion of the purchase price, on June 29, 2018, the Company borrowed $4.1 million on its existing $10.0 million revolving line of credit.   The Company also borrowed $4.9 million on this same revolving line of credit to fund the repayment of certain debt assumed in the merger, shortly after closing.    This note is included within other borrowings on the June 30, 2018 Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The remaining cash consideration paid to the shareholders of Springfield Bancshares came from operating cash.

As of the merger date, SFC Bank had assets with a historical book value of $573 million, loans with a book value of $487 million, and deposits with a book value of $439 million.  The Company is in the process of determining the fair value of the individual assets and liabilities purchased/assumed, including goodwill and core deposit intangible.

·

Provision expense in the second quarter of 2018 decreased 9% compared to the first quarter of 2018 and increased 14% from the same period of 2017.  Provision expense increased 17% in the first six months of 2018  from the same period of 2017 and was attributable to both strong loan growth and accounting for acquired loans.  As acquired loans renew, the discount associated with those loans is eliminated and the Company must establish an allowance.

·

Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2018 increased 4% compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to higher swap fee income. Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2018 increased 31% from the second quarter of 2017 and 24% when comparing the first six months of 2018 to the same period in the prior year.  This increase was primarily attributable to higher swap fee income, as well as solid growth in wealth management fee income and the acquisition of Guaranty Bank.

·

Noninterest expense increased 2% from the first quarter of 2018. Noninterest expense increased 23% from the second quarter of 2017 and 22% when comparing the first six months of 2018 to the same period in the prior year which was primarily due to the acquisition of Guaranty Bank.

·

Federal and state income tax expense in the second quarter of 2018 decreased 6% compared to the first quarter of 2018. Federal and state income tax expense in the second quarter of 2018 decreased 29% compared to the second quarter of 2017 and decreased 23% when comparing the first six months of 2018 to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a lower federal tax rate. See the “Income Taxes” section of this Report for additional details.

LONG-TERM FINANCIAL GOALS

As previously stated, the Company has established certain financial goals by which it manages its business and measures its performance. The goals are periodically updated to reflect changes in business developments. While the Company is determined to work prudently to achieve these goals, there is no assurance that they will be met. Moreover, the Company's ability to achieve these goals will be affected by the factors discussed under “Forward Looking Statements” as well as the factors detailed in the “Risk Factors” section included under Item 1A. of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company's long-term financial goals are as follows:

·

Improve balance sheet efficiency by maintaining a gross loans and leases to total assets ratio in the range of 73 – 78%;

·

Improve profitability (measured by NIM and ROAA);

·

Improve asset quality by reducing NPAs to total assets to below 0.75% and maintain charge-offs as a percentage of average loans/leases of under 0.25% annually;

·

Maintain reliance on wholesale funding at less than 15% of total assets;

·

Grow noninterest bearing deposits to more than 30% of total assets;

·

Continue to focus on generating gains on sales of government guaranteed portions of loans and swap fee income to more than $4 million annually; and

·

Grow wealth management segment net income by 10% annually.

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

The Company took the following actions during the second quarter of 2018 to support its corporate strategy and the long-term financial goals shown above.

·

The Company grew loans and leases in the second quarter of 2018 by 7.8% on an annualized basis. Strong loan and lease growth for the remainder of the year will help keep the Company's loan and leases to asset ratio within the targeted range of 73‑78%.

·

The Company has participated, and intends to continue to participate, in a prudent manner as an acquirer in the consolidation taking place in our markets to continue to grow EPS, further boost ROAA and improve the Company's efficiency ratio. The Company announced in March 2018 the signing of definitive agreements to acquire and merge the Bates Companies into RB&T. The Company announced in July 2018 the completion of the merger of Springfield Bancshares. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details about these strategic transactions.

·

The Company has continued to focus on lowering the NPAs to total assets ratio. This ratio decreased by 12 basis points to 0.65%, compared to the first quarter 2018. This decrease was primarily due to the upgrade of one large credit that was taken out of TDR status. The Company remains committed to improving asset quality ratios in 2018 and beyond.

·

Management has continued to focus on reducing the Company's reliance on wholesale funding. Core deposit growth in the second quarter of 2018 allowed wholesale funding to decrease 1%. Management continues to prioritize core deposit growth through a variety of strategies including growth in correspondent banking.

38

Item 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

·

Correspondent banking has continued to be a core line of business for the Company. The Company is competitively positioned with experienced staff, software systems and processes to continue growing in the three states currently served – Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin - and to expand into the Missouri market. The Company acts as the correspondent bank for 192 downstream banks with average total noninterest bearing deposits of $215.3 million that hadaverage total interest bearing deposits of $208.3 million during the first six months of 2018. This line of business provides a strong source of noninterest bearing and interest bearing deposits, fee income, high-quality loan participations and bank stock loans.

·

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.

·

As a result of the relatively low interest rate environment including a flat yield curve, the Company has focused on executing interest rate swaps on select commercial loans. 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 on the pricing. Management believes that these swaps help position the Company more favorably for rising rate environments. The Company 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.

·

Wealth management is another core line of business for the Company and includes a full range of products, including trust services, brokerage and investment advisory services, asset management, estate planning and financial planning. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $2.72 billion of total financial assets in trust (and related) accounts and $1.05 billion of total financial assets in brokerage (and related) accounts. Continued growth in assets under management will help drive trust and investment advisory fees. The Company offers trust and investment advisory services to the correspondent banks that it serves. As management continues to focus on growing wealth management fee income, expanding market share will continue to be a primary strategy, both through organic growth as well as the acquisition of managed assets. The Company announced in March 2018 the signing of definitive agreements to acquire and merge the Bates Companies into RB&T. The acquisition and subsequent merger of the Bates Companies into RB&T will add approximately $700 million of assets under management.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

The following table presents certain non-GAAP financial measures related to the “TCE/TA ratio”, “core net income”, “core net income attributable to QCR Holdings, Inc. common stockholders”, “core EPS”, “core ROAA”, “NIM (TEY)”, and “efficiency ratio”. In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, all non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as follows:

·

TCE/TA ratio (non-GAAP) is reconciled to stockholders' equity and total assets;

·

Core net income, core net income attributable to QCR Holdings, Inc. common stockholders, core EPS and core ROAA (all non-GAAP measures) are reconciled to net income;

·

NIM (TEY) (non-GAAP) is reconciled to NIM; and

·

Efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) is reconciled to noninterest expense, net interest income and noninterest income.

The TCE/TA non-GAAP 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.

Item 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

The table following also includes several “core” non-GAAP 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.

NIM (TEY) is a financial measure that the Company's management utilizes to take into account the tax benefit associated with certain tax-exempt loans and securities. It is standard industry practice to measure net interest margin using tax-equivalent measures.

The efficiency ratio is a ratio that management utilizes to compare the Company to peers. It is a standard ratio in the banking industry and widely utilized by investors.

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)

As part of the Tax Act, the Company's federal income tax rate was reduced from 35% down to 21% effective January 1, 2018. In order to compare periods before and after the effective date of the Tax Act, it's important to note the difference in the federal income tax rate and the impact on the Company's tax exempt earning assets (loans and securities) and the related tax equivalent yield reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased 11% to $33.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same quarter of the prior year, and increased 12% to $67.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period of the prior year. Excluding the tax equivalent adjustments, net interest income increased 14% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same quarter of the prior year, and increased 16%  for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period of the prior year. Net interest income improved due to several factors:

·

Organic loan and lease growth has been strong over the past 12 months pushing loans/leases up to 76% of total assets;

·

The acquisition of Guaranty Bank in the fourth quarter of 2017, whose strong NIM has contributed to the Company's results; and

·

The Company's continued strategy to redeploy funds from the lower yielding taxable securities portfolio into higher yielding loans and municipal bonds, especially with the Company's most recent acquisitions of CSB and Guaranty Bank.

Acquisition accounting net accretion can fluctuate depending on the payoff activity of the acquired loans. In evaluating net interest income and NIM, it's important to understand the impact of acquisition accounting net accretion when comparing periods. The above table reports NIM with and without the acquisition accounting net accretion to allow for more appropriate comparisons.  A comparison of acquisition accounting net accretion included in NIM is as follows:

NIM on a tax equivalent basis was down 12 basis points on a linked quarter basis.  .  Excluding acquisition accounting net accretion, NIM was down 10 basis points on a linked quarter basis.  This margin compression was primarily due to the following:

·

Increases in the cost of funds due to both mix and rate as the Company continues to grow larger commercial and public deposits which tend to have higher interest rate sensitivity;

·

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company recognized elevated loan origination fee income through NIM for select commercial loans which contributed to approximately five basis points of the core NIM decline;

·

With the flat yield curve and continued competition in our markets, loan pricing continues to be pressured.  The Company had success in widening spreads as core loan yields increased 13 basis points on linked quarter basis; however, the pace and magnitude of the widening has been offset by the increasing cost of funds;

·

The majority of the Company’s earning asset growth in the second quarter of 2018 occurred at the end of the quarter.

The Company's management closely monitors and manages NIM. From a profitability standpoint, an important challenge for the Company's subsidiary banks and leasing company is focusing on quality growth in conjunction with  the improvement of their NIMs. Management continually addresses this issue with pricing and other balance sheet management strategies which included better loan pricing, reducing reliance on very rate-sensitive funding, closely managing deposit rate increases and finding additional ways to manage cost of funds through derivatives.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. 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. Certain critical accounting policies are described below.

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 for loan and lease losses.

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 management's view regarding 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

47

Item 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

complexity of individual credits in relation to loan/lease structures, 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 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 June 30, 2018 was adequate to absorb losses 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income increased 26%, comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the same period of 2017 and comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of 2017. This increase was primarily the result of strong organic loan growth, the acquisition of Guaranty Bank, and improved pricing with the rising rate environment.  Although the latter has been less than the Company would like due to competitive pressures and the flat yield cureve, the Company is focused on growing loans at higher rates with widening spreads to more than effect the rising cost of funds

Overall, the Company's average earning assets increased 20%, comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of 2017. During the same time period, average gross loans and leases increased 24%, while average investment securities increased 13% with a portion being private placement tax-exempt municipal securities.  Average earning assets increased 21%, comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of 2017.  Average gross loans and leases increased 25% and average investment securities increased 14%, comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period to 2017. These increases were also the result of strong loan growth and the acquisition of Guaranty Bank.

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

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2018 increased 98% from the second quarter of 2017 and increased 96%, comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of 2017. The acquisition of Guaranty Bank contributed to this increase as we added over $200MM in deposits.  Additionally, as the Company has grown organically at a significant pace over the past several years, the loan growth has been funded in larger part by bigger depositor relationships with higher rate sensitivity and many of those relationships which have pricing tied to a certain index.  As a result, the cost of these funds is higher than the rest of the Company’s core deposit portfolio, and the cost rises at a higher rate (beta) as market interest rates rise which has been the case over the past several quarters.  The beta on the balance of the Company’s core deposit portfolio has performed well and is much lower than the beta on these relationships with pricing tied to a certain index.  Additionally, the loan growth has outpaced deposit growth, short-term borrowings have increased to fill in the funding gap and the cost of these funds has increased with the rising rate environment.

The Company's management intends to continue to shift the mix of funding from wholesale funds to well-priced core deposits, including noninterest-bearing deposits. Continuing this trend is expected to strengthen the Company's franchise value, reduce funding costs, and increase fee income opportunities through deposit service charges.

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 $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2018, which was an increase of $278 thousand or 14% from the same quarter of the prior year.   Provision for the first six months of the year totaled $4.8 million, which was up $712 thousand or 17%, compared to the first six months of 2017.  The increase from the second quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2018 was primarily attributable to loan growth and the accounting for the loans acquired through the acquisitions of CSB and Guaranty Bank. As acquired loans renew, the discount associated with those loans is eliminated and the Company must establish an allowance through provision. This provision, when coupled with net charge-offs of $1.7 million for the first six months of 2018, increased the Company's allowance to $37.5 million at June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the Company's allowance to total loans/leases was 1.21%, which was relatively flat from 1.20% at March 31, 2018 and down from 1.31% at June 30, 2017.

In accordance with GAAP for business combination accounting, acquired loans are recorded at fair value; therefore, no allowance is associated with such loans at acquisition. Management continues to evaluate the allowance needed on acquired loans factoring in the net remaining discount ($6.6 million and $6.3 million at June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively). When factoring this remaining discount into the Company's allowance to total loans and leases calculation, the Company's allowance as a percentage of total loans and leases increases from 1.21% to 1.42% as of June 30, 2018 and increases from 1.31% to 1.55% as of June 30, 2017.

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

In recent years, the Company has been successful in expanding its wealth management customer base. Trust department fees continue to be a significant contributor to noninterest income and, due to favorable market conditions in early 2018 coupled with strong growth in assets under management, trust department fees increased 22%, comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the same period of the prior year. Trust department fees increased 25% when comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of the prior year.  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. Additionally, the Company started offering trust operations services to correspondent banks.

Investment advisory and management fees increased 22%, comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the same period of the prior year, and they increased 10% when comparing the first half of 2018 to the first half of 2017. Management has placed a stronger 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 the 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. The Company announced in March 2018 the signing of definitive agreements to acquire and merge the Bates Companies into RB&T. The acquisition and subsequent merger of the Bates Companies into RB&T will add approximately $700 million of assets under management.  This acquisition is expected to close early in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Deposit service fees expanded 10% comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the same period of the prior year and expanded 13% when comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of the growth in deposits due to the acquisition of Guaranty Bank. Additionally, 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 continuing 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 10% when comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the same period of the prior year and decreased 3% when comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of the prior year. Overall, with the continued 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 generally become a smaller contributor to overall noninterest income.

The Company's gains on the sale of government-guaranteed portions of loans for the second quarter of 2018 decreased 100% compared to the second quarter of 2017 and decreased 66% when comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period

of the prior year. Given the nature of these gains, large fluctuations can occur from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. As one of its core strategies, the Company continues to leverage its expertise by taking advantage of programs offered by the SBA and the USDA. In the past several years, 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 loans that fit the criteria for the government guarantee. Further, the size of the transactions can vary and, as the gain is determined as a percentage of the guaranteed amount, the resulting gain on sale can vary. 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.  Recently, competitors have been offering SBA loan candidates traditional financing without the guarantee and the Company is not willing to relax structure for those lending opportunities.

As a result of the continued relatively low interest rate environment including a flat yield curve, the Company was able to execute numerous interest rate swaps on select commercial loans. 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. An optimal interest rate swap candidate must be of a certain size and sophistication which can lead to volatility in activity from quarter to quarter. Swap fee income totaled $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $328 thousand for the second quarter of 2017. Swap fee income totaled $2.6 million for the first half of 2018 compared to $441 thousand in the first half of 2017.  Future levels of swap fee income are also dependent upon prevailing interest rates.

Earnings on BOLI decreased 13% comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the first quarter of 2018 and decreased 12% comparing the first half of 2018 to the first half of 2017.  There were no purchases of BOLI within the last 12 months. Notably, a small portion of the Company's BOLI is variable rate whereby the returns are determined by the performance of the equity market. Equity market performance accounted for the majority of the decrease in earnings on BOLI. 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.

Debit card fees are the interchange fees paid on certain debit card customer transactions. Debit card fees increased 14% comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of the prior year and increased 11% comparing the first half of 2018 to the first half of 2017. This increase was primarily related to the acquisition of Guaranty Bank in the fourth quarter of 2017. 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 retail deposit product with a higher interest rate that incentivizes debit card activity, which has been taken advantage of by the Company's customers.

Correspondent banking fees increased 6% comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of the prior year and increased 7% comparing the first half of 2018 to the first half of 2017. Management will continue to evaluate earnings credit rates and the resulting impact on deposit balances and fees while balancing the ability to grow market share. Correspondent banking continues to be a core strategy for the Company, as this line of business provides a high level of deposits that can be used to fund loan growth as well as a steady source of fee income.   The Company now serves approximately 192 banks in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin.

Other noninterest income increased 23% comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of the prior year and increased 30% comparing the first half of 2018 to the first half of 2017.  These increases were primarily driven by fluctuations in net gains recognized on the disposal of leased assets.

Management places a strong emphasis on overall cost containment and is committed to improving the Company's general efficiency. One-time charges relating to acquisitions are expected to impact expense throughout 2018.

Salaries and employee benefits, which is the largest component of noninterest expense, increased from the second quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2018 by 22%.   This line item also increased 21% when comparing the first half of 2018 to the first half of 2017. This increase was primarily related to new hires, merit increases and the addition of the Guaranty Bank employees. To help support recent and expected growth, the Company is adding to operational infrastructure and investing in additional staffing both at the corporate level and at some of the bank charters.  Some of these hires are opportunistic, as the Company takes advantage of strong talent in the marketplace as a result of ongoing industry consolidation.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased 16%, comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the same period of the prior year and increased 19% comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of the prior year. The increased expense was primarily due to the addition of Guaranty Bank.

Professional and data processing fees increased 18%, comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the same period in 2017 and increased 24% comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of the prior year. This increased expense was partially due to the addition of Guaranty Bank. Additionally, legal expense was also elevated due to a legal matter at RB&T where two employees have been charged with wrongdoing in connection with an SBA loan application. The Company anticipates these legal expenses will continue to increase until the court proceedings are completed, which the Company expects to be in late 2018. Neither RB&T nor the Company have been charged in the case. Generally, professional and data processing fees can fluctuate depending on certain one-time project costs. Management will continue to focus on minimizing one-time costs and driving recurring costs down through contract renegotiation or managed reduction in activity where costs are determined on a usage basis.

Acquisition costs totaled $413 thousand for the second quarter of 2018 and $506 thousand for the first half of 2018. There were no acquisition costs in the first half of 2017.  These costs were comprised primarily of legal, accounting and investment banking costs related to the acquisitions described in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Post-acquisition costs totaled $165 thousand for the second quarter of 2018 and for the first half of 2018.  These costs were comprised primarily of personnel costs, IT integration, and data conversion costs related to acquisitions.

FDIC insurance, other insurance and regulatory fee expense increased 30%, comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of 2017 and increased 26% comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of the prior year. The increase in expense was due to the acquisition of Guaranty Bank.

Loan/lease expense remained flat when comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the same quarter of 2017 as well as when comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of the prior year. Generally, loan/lease expense has a direct relationship with the level of NPLs; however, it may deviate depending upon the individual NPLs.

Net cost of/income from operations of other real estate includes gains/losses on the sale of OREO, write-downs of OREO and all income/expenses associated with OREO. Net income from operations of other real estate totaled $70 thousand for the second quarter of 2018, compared to net costs of operations of $28 thousand for the second quarter of 2017.  Net cost of operations of other real estate totaled $62 thousand for the first half of 2018 compared to $42 thousand for the same period of the prior year.

Advertising and marketing expense increased 33%, comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of 2017 and increased 23% comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of the prior year. The increase in expense was primarily due to the addition of Guaranty Bank.

Bank service charges, a large portion of which includes indirect costs incurred to provide services to QCBT's correspondent banking customer portfolio, increased 4% from the second quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2018 and increased 4%, comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of the prior year.  The increase was due, in large part, to the success QCBT has had in growing its correspondent banking customer portfolio. As transactions volumes continue to increase and the number of correspondent banking clients increases, the associated expenses will also increase.

Correspondent banking expense increased 1% when comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of 2017 and increased 2% when comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of the prior year.  The increase was due to both increases in volume and in the number of correspondent banking clients. These are direct costs incurred to provide services to QCBT's correspondent banking customer portfolio, including safekeeping and cash management services.

CDI amortization expense increased 32% when comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of 2017 and  when comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of the prior year. The increase was due to the acquisition of Guaranty Bank.

Other noninterest expense was up 26% when comparing the second quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of 2017 and increased 24% when comparing the first half of 2018 to the same period of the prior year. Included in other noninterest expense are items such as subscriptions, sales and use tax and expenses related to wealth management. A portion of this increase is related to the addition of Guaranty Bank.

INCOME TAXES

In the second quarter of 2018, the Company incurred income tax expense of $1.9 million.

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. Over the past five years, the Company has further diversified the portfolio by decreasing U.S government sponsored agency securities, while increasing residential mortgage-backed and related securities and tax-exempt municipal securities. Of the latter, the large majority are privately placed tax-exempt 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.

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:

The duration of the securities portfolio shortened modestly with the TEY on the portfolio decreasing 26 bps in the first half of 2018; however, excluding the tax benefit and the related variance due to the lower tax rate, the portfolio yield expanded 25 basis points.

The Company has not invested in private 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).

As CRE loans have historically been the Company's largest portfolio segment, management places a strong emphasis on monitoring the composition of the Company's CRE loan portfolio. For example, management tracks the level of owner-occupied CRE loans relative to non owner-occupied loans. Owner-occupied loans are generally considered to have less risk. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, approximately 26% of the CRE 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 C&I loans. C&I loans grew $71.9 million in the current quarter.

A syndicated loan is a commercial loan provided by a group of lenders and is structured, arranged and administered by one or several commercial or investment banks known as arrangers. The nationally syndicated loans invested in by the Company consist of fully funded, highly liquid term loans for which there is a liquid secondary market. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amount of nationally syndicated loans totaled $38.6 million and $51.2 million, respectively.

The Company's residential real estate loan portfolio includes 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 and 20‑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. The Company has not originated any subprime, Alt-A, no documentation, or stated income residential real estate loans throughout its history.

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”, as described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report  on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and carrying aggregate exposure in excess of $250 thousand. The adequacy of the allowance is monitored by the loan review staff and reported to management and the board of directors.

The Company experienced a 7% increase in classified loans during the second quarter of 2018. Criticized loans increased 5% during the same period.  The Company experienced a decrease of 3% in classified loans during the first six months of 2018. Criticized loans increased 16% during the same period. The Company continues its strong focus on improving credit quality in an effort to limit NPLs.

Although management believes that the allowance at June 30, 2018 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.

NPAs at June 30, 2018 were $26.8 million, down $4.2 million from March 31, 2018 and up $948 thousand from June 30, 2017. The decrease in the second quarter of 2018 was due to one large loan that was upgraded and taken out of TDR status.

The ratio of NPAs to total assets was 0.65% at June 30, 2018, down from 0.77% at March 31, 2018 and down from 0.75% at June 30, 2017.

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.

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

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

In an effort to strengthen the relationship and maximize the liquidity potential of its correspondent banking clients, the Company introduced an interest-bearing money market deposit account to its correspondent banking clients and this generated strong deposit growth in 2017.

Management will continue to focus on growing its core 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 a few of their significant customers. Also, the subsidiary banks purchase federal funds for short-term funding needs from the FRB or from their correspondent banks. The table below presents the composition of the Company's short-term borrowings.

The Company's federal funds purchased fluctuates based on the short-term funding needs of the Company's subsidiary banks.

As a result of their memberships in either the FHLB of Des Moines or Chicago, the subsidiary banks have the ability to borrow funds for short or long-term purposes under a variety of programs. Generally, FHLB advances are utilized for loan matching as a hedge against the possibility of rising interest rates and when these advances provide a less costly or more readily available source of funds than customer deposits.

The table below presents the Company's term and overnight FHLB advances.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

Other borrowings include structured repos which are utilized as an alternative funding source to FHLB advances and customer deposits. Structured repos are collateralized by certain U.S. government agency securities and residential mortgage backed and related securities.

As described in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company has outstanding term notes and an available revolving line of credit. As of June 30, 2018, the term debt had been paid down to $27.1 million, as scheduled. The term notes and revolving line of credit were used to help fund acquisitions as described in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As of June 30, 2018, $1.0 million of the $10.0 million line of credit was available. Interest is calculated at the effective LIBOR rate plus 2.50% per annum (4.84% at June 30, 2018).

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

The table below presents the maturity schedule including weighted average interest cost for the Company's combined wholesale funding portfolio.

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 $141.7 million during the second quarter of 2018 and $164.0 million during the full year of 2017. The Company's on balance sheet liquidity position can fluctuate based on short-term activity in deposits and loans.

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 deposits, lines of credit, borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window, sales of securities AFS, 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).

At June 30, 2018, the subsidiary banks had 33 lines of credit totaling $371.7 million, of which $2.7 million was secured and $369.0 million was unsecured. At June 30, 2018, the full $371.7 million was available.

At December 31, 2017, the subsidiary banks had 34 lines of credit totaling $375.0 million, of which $3.0 million was secured and $372.0 million was unsecured. At December 31, 2017, the full $375.0 million was available.

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 $10.0 million secured revolving credit note with a variable interest rate and a maturity of June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2018, $1.0 million of the $10.0 million was available.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $415.0 million in average correspondent banking deposits spread over 192 relationships. While the Company believes that these funds are relatively 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 $137.9 million during the first six months of 2018, compared to $152.5 million for the same period of 2017. The net decrease in federal funds sold was $19.3 million for the first six months of 2018, compared to a net decrease of $3.1 million for the same period of 2017. The net decrease in interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions was $15.0 million for the first six months of 2018, compared to a net increase of $10.8 million for the same period of 2017. Proceeds from calls, maturities, and paydowns of securities were $39.8 million for the first six months of 2018, compared to $68.2 million for the same period of 2017. Purchases of securities used cash of $55.0 million for the first six months of 2018, compared to $85.2 million for the same period of 2017. The net increase in loans/leases used cash of $151.0 million for the first six months of 2018 compared to $146.4 million for the same period of 2017.

Financing activities provided cash of $101.9 million for the first six months of 2018, compared to $140.2 million for same period of 2017. Net increases in deposits totaled $31.7 million for the first six months of 2018, compared to $201.0 million for the same period of 2017. During the first six months of 2018, the Company's short-term borrowings increased $3.6 million, while they decreased $21.8 million for the same period of 2017. In the first six months of 2018, the Company increased short-tem and overnight FHLB advances by $72.1 million and increased other borrowings by $9.0 million.  Maturities and principal payments on borrowings totaled $13.9 millionin the first six months of 2018. In the first

six months of 2017, the Company reduced FHLB advances and borrowings by $39.0 million through a mixture of maturities, scheduled payments, and changes in short-term and overnight FHLB advances.

Total cash provided by operating activities was $29.4 million for the first six months of 2018, compared to $18.9 million for the same period of 2017.

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.

As described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on June 21, 2018, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to hedge against the risk of rising rates on its variable rate trust preferred securities.  The floating rate trust preferred securities are tied to 3-month LIBOR, and the interest rate swaps utilize 3-month LIBOR, so the hedge is effective.  The interest rate swaps are designated as a cash flow hedge in accordance with ASC 815.  See Note 4 for the notional amount swapped and the related effective fixed rates. The Company assumed the trust preferred securities originally issued by Community National in connection with its acquisition in May 2013. The Company assumed the trust preferred securities originally issued by Guaranty in connection with its acquisition in October 2017. 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. As of June 30, 2018, the remaining discount was $2.6 million.

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. Refer to Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding regulatory capital.

The Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.  Factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, the following:

·

The strength of the local and national economy.

·

Changes in the interest rate environment.

·

The economic impact of past and any future terrorist attacks, acts of war or threats thereof and the response of the United States to any such threats and attacks.

·

The impact of cybersecurity risks.

·

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 FASB, the SEC or the PCAOB.

·

Unexpected results of acquisitions which may include failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.

·

The economic impact of exceptional weather occurrences such as tornadoes, floods and blizzards.

·

The ability of the Company to manage the 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. For a discussion of the factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, see the “Risk Factors” section included under Item 1A of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

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.

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:

The simulation is well 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, 2018 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).

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.

On June 21, 2018, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to hedge against the risk of rising rates on its variable rate trust preferred securities, for a total of $39.0 million.

The Company will continue to analyze and evaluate similar transactions as an alternative and cost effective way to mitigage 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.
