QCR HOLDINGS, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include information
or footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of
operations and changes in financial condition in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all
adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Any differences appearing between numbers
presented in financial statements and management's discussion and analysis are
due to rounding. Results for the periods ended September 30, 2003 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2003.
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified,
with no effect on net income or stockholders' equity, to conform with the
current period presentation.
From the Company's formation in February 1993 through June 30, 2002, its fiscal
year end had been June 30th. In 2002, the Company changed its fiscal year end to
December 31st. The Company filed a Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the transition period July 1, 2002 through December 31, 2002.
Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of QCR Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Quad City Bank and Trust Company
("Quad City Bank & Trust"), Cedar Rapids Bank and Trust Company ("Cedar Rapids
Bank & Trust"), Quad City Bancard, Inc. ("Bancard"), Allied Merchant Services,
Inc. ("Allied"), QCR Capital Trust I ("Capital Trust"), and Quad City
Liquidation Corporation ("QCLC"). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition to these six
wholly owned subsidiaries, the Company has an aggregate investment of $307
thousand in four associated companies, Nobel Electronic Transfer, LLC, Nobel
Real Estate Investors, LLC, Velie Plantation Holding Company, and Clarity
Merchant Services, Inc.
7
Stock-based compensation plans: The Company accounts for its stock-based
employee compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of
APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net
income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to
the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The
following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if
the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee
compensation.

As reported .............. 0.63 0.41 1.53 0.99
Pro forma ................ 0.62 0.41 1.51 0.97
In determining compensation cost using the fair value method prescribed in
Statement No. 123, the value of each grant is estimated at the grant date with
the following weighted-average assumptions for grants during the nine months
ended September 30, 2003 and 2002: dividend rate of 0.44% to 0.59% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 and 0.00% for the nine months ended September
30, 2002; expected price volatility of 23.54% to 24.27%; risk-free interest rate
based upon current rates at the date of grants (3.68% to 4.85% for stock options
and 0.82% to 1.29% for the employee stock purchase plan); and expected lives of
10 years for stock options and 3 months to 6 months for the employee stock
purchase plan.

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company's subsidiary banks make various
commitments and incur certain contingent liabilities that are not presented in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The commitments and
contingent liabilities include various guarantees, commitments to extend credit,
and standby letters of credit.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The subsidiary banks evaluate each
customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained, if deemed necessary by the banks upon extension of credit, is based
upon management's credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held varies
but may include accounts receivable, marketable securities, inventory, property,
plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the banks to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are
primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and,
generally, have terms of one year, or less. The credit risk involved in issuing
letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan
facilities to customers. The banks hold collateral, as described above,
supporting those commitments if deemed necessary. In the event the customer does
not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party,
the banks would be required to fund the commitments. The maximum potential
amount of future payments the banks could be required to make is represented by
the contractual amount. If the commitment is funded, the banks would be entitled
to seek recovery from the customer. At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002,
no amounts have been recorded as liabilities for the banks' potential
obligations under these guarantees.
9
As of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, commitments to extend credit
aggregated $176.7 million and $165.2 million, respectively. As of September 30,
2003 and December 31, 2002, standby letters of credit aggregated $5.9 million
and $4.9 million, respectively. Management does not expect that all of these
commitments will be funded.
The Company has also executed contracts for the sale of mortgage loans in the
secondary market in the amount of $17.6 million and $23.7 million, at September
30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. These amounts are included in
loans held for sale at the respective balance sheet dates.
Bancard is subject to the risk of chargebacks from cardholders and the merchant
being incapable of refunding the amount charged back. Management attempts to
mitigate such risk by regular monitoring of merchant activity and in appropriate
cases, holding cash reserves deposited by the merchant.
The Company also has a guarantee to MasterCard International, Incorporated,
which is backed up by a performance bond in the amount of $1.0 million. As of
September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, there were no significant pending
liabilities.
A significant portion of residential mortgage loans sold to investors in the
secondary market are sold with recourse. Specifically, certain loan sales
agreements provide that if the borrower becomes delinquent a number of payments
or a number of days, within six months to one year of the sale, the banks must
repurchase the loan from the subject investor. The banks did not repurchase any
loans from secondary market investors under the terms of these loan sales
agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and the year ended
December 31, 2002, respectively. In the opinion of management, the risk of
recourse to the banks is not significant and, accordingly, no liability has been
established related to such.
NOTE 5 - RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement 148, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB
No. 123. This Statement amends Statement No. 123 to provide alternative methods
of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation and amends the disclosure
requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both
annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported
results. The alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the
fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation are
effective for transitions after January 1, 2003. The Company did not make a
voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The
amended interim disclosure requirements were effective for the Company for the
quarter ending March 31, 2003 and have been adopted in the consolidated
financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2003.
10
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement 149, "Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging". This Statement amends and
clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities under Statement 133. The Statement was effective for
contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging
relationships designated after June 30, 2003. Implementation of the Statement on
July 1, 2003 did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement 150, "Accounting
for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and
measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities
and equity and requires that certain freestanding financial instruments be
reported as liabilities in the balance sheet. Depending on the type of financial
instrument, it is required to be accounted for at either fair value or the
present value of future cash flows determined at each balance sheet date with
the change in that value reported as interest expense in the income statement.
Prior to the application of Statement No. 150, either those financial
instruments were not required to be recognized, or if recognized were reported
in the balance sheet as equity and changes in the value of those instruments
were normally not recognized in net income. For the Company, the Statement was
effective July 1, 2003 and implementation had no significant impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
The Financial Accounting Standard Board has issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 46
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51." FIN 46 establishes accounting guidance for
consolidation of variable interest entities (VIE) that function to support the
activities of the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE entity
is the entity that absorbs a majority of the VIE's expected losses, receives a
majority of the VIE's expected residual returns, or both, as a result of
ownership, controlling interest, contractual relationship or other business
relationship with a VIE. Prior to the implementation of FIN 46, VIEs were
generally consolidated by an enterprise when the enterprise had a controlling
financial interest through ownership of a majority of voting interest in the
entity. The provisions of FIN 46 are effective for the first period ending after
December 15, 2003.
The Company expects to adopt FIN 46 in connection with its consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. In its current form,
FIN 46 may require the Company to de-consolidate its investment in QCR Capital
Trust I in future financial statements. The potential de-consolidation of
subsidiary trusts of bank holding companies formed in connection with the
issuance of trust preferred securities, like QCR Capital Trust I, appears to be
an unintended consequence of FIN 46. It is currently unknown if, or when, the
FASB will address this issue. In July 2003, the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System issued a supervisory letter instructing bank holding
companies to continue to include the trust preferred securities in their Tier I
capital for regulatory capital purposes until notice is given to the contrary.
The Federal Reserve intends to review the regulatory implications of any
accounting treatment changes and, if necessary or warranted, provide further
appropriate guidance. There can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve will
continue to permit institutions to include trust preferred securities in Tier I
capital for regulatory capital purposes. As of September 30, 2003, assuming the
Company was not permitted to include the $12 million in trust preferred
securities issued by QCR Capital Trust I in its Tier 1 capital, the Company
would still exceed the regulatory required minimums for capital adequacy
purposes.
Management continues to monitor the interpretations of FIN 46, and its
application to various transaction types and structures, as they evolve.
11
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
QCR Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") is the parent company of Quad City Bank &
Trust, Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust, and Quad City Bancard, Inc.
Quad City Bank & Trust and Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust are Iowa-chartered
commercial banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System with depository
accounts insured to the maximum amount permitted by law by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. Quad City Bank & Trust commenced operations in 1994 and
provides full-service commercial and consumer banking, and trust and asset
management services to the Quad City area and adjacent communities through its
four offices that are located in Bettendorf and Davenport, Iowa and Moline,
Illinois. Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust commenced operations in 2001 and provides
full-service commercial and consumer banking service to Cedar Rapids and
adjacent communities through its office located in the GreatAmerica Building in
downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Quad City Bancard, Inc. ("Bancard") provides merchant and cardholder credit card
processing services. In October 2002, the Company sold Bancard's independent
sales organization (ISO) related merchant credit card operations to iPayment,
Inc. Until September 24, 2003, Bancard continued to temporarily process
transactions for iPayment, Inc., and approximately 32,500 merchants. Since
iPayment, Inc. discontinued processing with Bancard, processing volumes have
decreased significantly. Bancard does, however, continue to provide credit card
processing for its local merchants and agent banks and for cardholders of the
Company's subsidiary banks.
In 1999, Bancard formed its own independent sales organization ("ISO")
subsidiary, Allied Merchant Services, Inc. ("Allied"), to generate merchant
credit card processing business. Bancard owns 100% of Allied. As a result of
Bancard's sale of its ISO related merchant credit card operations to iPayment,
Inc. in October 2002, Allied ceased its operations as an ISO. Included in the
sale to iPayment, Inc., were all of the merchant credit card processing
relationships owned by Allied.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY
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. 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 losses.
The Company's allowance for loan loss methodology incorporates a variety of risk
considerations, both quantitative and qualitative in establishing an allowance
for loan loss 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 nonperforming
loans, and other factors. Quantitative factors also incorporate known
information about individual loans, 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 structure, existing loan policies and
pace of portfolio growth are other qualitative factors that are considered in
the methodology. As the Company adds new products and increases the complexity
of its loan portfolio, it will enhance its methodology accordingly. Management
may report a materially different amount for the provision for loan losses in
the statement of operations to change the allowance for loan losses 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 of this
Management's Discussion and Analysis, which discusses the allowance for loan
losses in the section entitled "Financial Condition." Although management
believes the levels of the allowance as of both September 30, 2003 and December
31, 2002 were adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio, a
decline in local economic conditions, or other factors, could result in
increasing losses that cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.
12
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of the Company increased by $78.9 million, or 13%, to $683.5
million at September 30, 2003 from $604.6 million at December 31, 2002. The
growth resulted primarily from increases in the loan and securities portfolios
funded by deposits received from customers.
Cash and due from banks increased by $8.8 million, or 35%, to $33.7 million at
September 30, 2003 from $24.9 million at December 31, 2002. The increase was
predominately due to a $5.4 million increase in the balance deposited at Quad
City Bank & Trust's primary upstream bank, as the result of the receipt of large
wire amounts late in the day on the final day of the period. Cash and due from
banks represented both cash maintained at its subsidiary banks, as well as funds
that the Company and its banks had deposited in other banks in the form of
non-interest bearing demand deposits.
Federal funds sold are inter-bank funds with daily liquidity. At September 30,
2003, the subsidiary banks had $11.0 million invested in such funds. This amount
decreased by $3.4 million, or 24%, from $14.4 million at December 31, 2002. The
decrease was primarily due to the management of liquidity positions at both
subsidiary banks.
Interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions increased by $2.7 million,
or 19%, to $17.3 million at September 30, 2003 from $14.6 million at December
31, 2002. Included in interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions are
demand accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit. The
increase was the result of increases in money market accounts of $3.4 million
and purchases of certificates of deposit totaling $1.9 million, which were
partially offset by maturities of certificates of deposit of $2.6 million.
Securities increased by $22.5 million, or 28%, to $104.2 million at September
30, 2003 from $81.7 million at December 31, 2002. The increase was the result of
a number of transactions in the securities portfolio. Paydowns of $3.6 million
were received on mortgage-backed securities, and the amortization of premiums,
net of the accretion of discounts, was $494 thousand. Maturities and calls of
securities occurred in the amount of $28.9 million. The fair value of
securities, classified as available for sale experienced a decrease of $573
thousand. These portfolio decreases were offset by the purchase of an additional
$55.7 million of securities, classified as available for sale. On September 30,
2003, a commitment was made to purchase a single security for $401 thousand for
settlement on October 1, 2003.
Total loans receivable increased by $46.7 million, or 10%, to $496.4 million at
September 30, 2003 from $449.7 million at December 31, 2002. The increase was
the result of the origination or purchase of $536.3 million of commercial
business, consumer and real estate loans, less loan charge-offs, net of
recoveries, of $711 thousand, and loan repayments or sales of loans of $488.9
million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, Quad City Bank & Trust
contributed $421.1 million, or 78%, and Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust contributed
$115.2 million, or 22%, of the Company's loan originations or purchases. Cedar
Rapids Bank & Trust participated $17.9 million, or 12%, of their originations
during the period to Quad City Bank & Trust. The mix of loan types within the
Company's portfolio at September 30, 2003 reflected 81% commercial, 9% real
estate and 10% consumer loans. The majority of residential real estate loans
originated by the Company were sold on the secondary market to avoid the
interest rate risk associated with long term fixed rate loans. Loans originated
for this purpose were classified as held for sale.
The allowance for estimated losses on loans was $8.8 million at September 30,
2003 compared to $6.9 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $1.9 million,
or 28%. The allowance for estimated losses on loans was determined based on
factors that included the overall composition of the loan portfolio, types of
loans, past loss experience, loan delinquencies, potential substandard and
doubtful credits, economic conditions, and other factors that, in management's
judgement, deserved evaluation. To ensure that an adequate allowance was
maintained, provisions were made based on a number of factors, including the
increase in loans and a detailed analysis of the loan portfolio. The loan
portfolio was reviewed and analyzed monthly utilizing the percentage allocation
method. In addition, specific reviews were completed on all credits risk-rated
less than "fair quality" and carrying aggregate exposure in excess of $250
thousand. The adequacy of the allowance for estimated losses on loans was
monitored by the loan review staff, and reported to management and the board of
directors. Although management believes that the allowance for estimated losses
on loans at September 30, 2003 was at a level adequate to absorb probable losses
on existing loans, 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 for loan losses in the future.
13
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.
Along with other financial institutions, management shares a concern for the
outlook of the economy during the remainder of 2003 and beyond. A slowdown in
economic activity beginning in 2001 severely impacted several major industries
as well as the economy as a whole. Even though there are indications of emerging
strength, it is not certain that this strength is sustainable. In addition,
consumer confidence may still be negatively impacted by the substantial decline
in equity prices experienced over the last three years. These events could still
adversely affect cash flows for both commercial and individual borrowers, as a
result of which, the Company could experience increases in problem assets,
delinquencies and losses on loans, and require further increases in the
provision for loan losses.
Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30 were $711 thousand in
2003 and $319 thousand in 2002. One measure of the adequacy of the allowance for
estimated losses on loans is the ratio of the allowance to the held for
investment loan portfolio. The allowance for estimated losses on loans as a
percentage of gross loans was 1.77% at September 30, 2003 and 1.53 % at December
31, 2002.
At September 30, 2003, total nonperforming assets were $7.1 million compared to
$5.0 million at December 31, 2002. The $2.1 million increase was the result of a
$1.0 million increase in nonaccrual loans in combination with an increase of
$819 thousand in accruing loans past due 90 days or more and an increase in
other real estate owned of $209 thousand. All of the nonperforming assets were
located in the loan portfolio at Quad City Bank & Trust. The loans in the Cedar
Rapids Bank & Trust loan portfolio have been originated fairly recently, and
none of the loans have been categorized as nonperforming assets. As the loan
portfolio at Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust matures, it is likely that there will be
nonperforming loans or charge-offs associated with the portfolio.
Nonaccrual loans were $5.6 million at September 30, 2003 compared to $4.6
million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $1.0 million. The increase in
nonaccrual loans was comprised of an increase in commercial loans of $1.3
million, partially offset by decreases in both real estate loans of $313
thousand and consumer loans of $25 thousand. Four large commercial lending
relationships at Quad City Bank & Trust, with an aggregate outstanding balance
of $3.6 million, comprised 64% of the nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2003.
Management is closely monitoring each of these situations. Like many other
financial institutions, some of the Company's customers are experiencing
difficulty in the lagging economy, which has led management to increase the
allowance for estimated loan losses. Given the continued soft economy,
management is closely monitoring the Company's loan portfolio and the level of
our allowance for loan losses. Nonaccrual loans represented approximately one
percent of the Company's held for investment loan portfolio at September 30,
2003.
From December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003, accruing loans past due 90 days or
more increased from $431 thousand to $1.2 million. Six lending relationships at
Quad City Bank & Trust, that have experienced seasonal setbacks, comprised $1.0
million, or 82%, of this balance at September 30, 2003. Four of these six
relationships, carrying an aggregate balance of $424 thousand, became current
with their payments early in the fourth quarter of 2003. Management is closely
monitoring these relationships as the borrowers attempt to remedy their credit
situations.
Other real estate owned, which had a zero balance at December 31, 2002, was $209
thousand at September 30, 2003. The increase was in conjunction with the
foreclosure on a large customer relationship at Quad City Bank & Trust during
the first quarter of 2003.
14
Premises and equipment showed an increase of $1.8 million, or 19%, to climb to
$11.0 million at September 30, 2003 from $9.2 million at December 31, 2002.
During the nine-month period there were purchases of additional furniture,
fixtures and equipment and leasehold improvements of $2.8 million, which were
partially offset by the combination of property sales of $270 thousand and
depreciation expense of $799 thousand. In January 2003, Quad City Bank & Trust's
office building adjacent to the Brady Street location was sold, resulting in a
net loss of $45 thousand. In August 2003, Quad City Bank & Trust purchased the
northern segment of its Brady Street facility in Davenport, which had been owned
by the developer of the property. The purchase price of this space, which will
be occupied by various operational and administrative functions, was $1.6
million, and development is expected to be complete late in 2003 at an
additional cost of $900 thousand. In September 2003, the Company announced plans
for a fifth Quad City Bank & Trust banking facility, to be located in west
Davenport. During October 2003, the Company purchased a site for this location
at a cost of $506 thousand. The Company is still evaluating the plans and
pricing for this facility. This location will likely be completed in mid to late
2004. Quad City Bank & Trust has also initiated the purchase of check and
document imaging hardware and software, which is expected to cost approximately
$1.0 million over the next three quarters.
Accrued interest receivable on loans, securities and interest-bearing deposits
with financial institutions increased by $100 thousand, or 3%, to $3.3 million
at September 30, 2003 from $3.2 million at December 31, 2002.
Other assets increased by $1.6 million, or 12%, to $15.4 million at September
30, 2003 from $13.8 million at December 31, 2002. Other assets included Federal
Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock, the cash surrender value of life
insurance contracts, prepaid Visa/Mastercard processing charges, accrued trust
department fees, other miscellaneous receivables, and various prepaid expenses.
Deposits increased by $62.9 million, or 14%, to $497.6 million at September 30,
2003 from $434.7 million at December 31, 2002. The increase resulted from a
$52.5 million net increase in non-interest bearing, NOW, money market and
savings accounts in combination with a $10.4 million net increase in
interest-bearing certificates of deposit. Interest-bearing demand and money
market accounts for commercial customers at the subsidiary banks were the
primary contributors to the increase in deposits for the period.
Short-term borrowings increased $1.9 million, or 6%, from $32.9 million at
December 31, 2002 to $34.8 million at September 30, 2003. The subsidiary banks
offer short-term repurchase agreements to some of their major customers. Also,
on occasion, the subsidiary banks purchase Federal funds for short-term funding
needs from the Federal Reserve Bank, or from some of their correspondent banks.
As of both September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, short-term borrowings were
comprised entirely of customer repurchase agreements.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased by $3.1 million, or 4%, to $78.1
million at September 30, 2003 from $75.0 million at December 31, 2002. As a
result of their memberships in the FHLB of Des Moines, the subsidiary banks have
the ability to borrow funds for short or long-term purposes under a variety of
programs. 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.
Other borrowings increased to $10.0 million at September 30, 2003 for an
increase of $5.0 million, or 100%, from December 31, 2002. In September 2001,
the Company drew a $5.0 million advance on a line of credit at an upstream
correspondent bank as partial funding for the initial capitalization of Cedar
Rapids Bank & Trust. In February and July 2003, the Company drew additional
advances of $2.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, as funding to maintain
the required level of regulatory capital at Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust in light
of the bank's growth.
In June 1999, the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of trust preferred securities
through a newly formed subsidiary, QCR Capital Trust I. On the Company's balance
sheet these securities are included with liabilities and are presented as
"company obligated manditorily redeemable preferred securities of subsidiary
trust holding solely subordinated debentures", and were $12.0 million at both
September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002.
Other liabilities were $10.3 million at September 30, 2003, up $1.9 million, or
23%, from $8.4 million at December 31, 2002. Other liabilities were comprised of
unpaid amounts for various products and services, and accrued but unpaid
interest on deposits. At September 30, 2003, the most significant components of
other liabilities were $4.8 million of accounts payable, $2.6 million of accrued
expenses, and $1.2 million of interest payable.
15
Common stock at September 30, 2003 was $2.8 million, which was unchanged from
December 31, 2002. A slight increase of $26 thousand was the result of stock
issued from the net exercise of stock options and stock purchased under the
employee stock purchase plan.
Additional paid-in capital totaled $17.0 million at September 30, 2003 up $219
thousand, or 1%, from $16.8 million at December 31, 2002. The increase resulted
primarily from proceeds received in excess of the $1.00 per share par value for
the 26,470 shares of common stock issued as the result of the net exercise of
stock options and stock purchased under the employee stock purchase plan.
Retained earnings increased by $4.2 million, or 27%, to $19.9 million at
September 30, 2003 from $15.7 million at December 31, 2002. The increase
reflected net income for the nine-month period less the cash dividend declared
to stockholders. On May 8, 2003, the Company announced that the board of
directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share, or approximately $138
thousand, which was paid on July 3, 2003, to stockholders of record on June 16,
2003. The Company declared a $0.06 per share dividend on October 23, 2003
payable on January 5, 2004 for each share of common stock held of record as of
December 15, 2003.
Unrealized gains on securities available for sale, net of related income taxes,
totaled $1.8 million at September 30, 2003 as compared to $2.1 million at
December 31, 2002. The decrease in gains of $356 thousand was attributable to
decreases during the period in fair value of the securities identified as
available for sale as a result of an increase in interest rates.
At both September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company held 60,146
treasury shares at a total cost of $855 thousand. The weighted average cost of
the shares was $14.21.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003 was $1.8 million as
compared to net income of $1.2 million for the same period in 2002, an increase
of $649 thousand or 56%. Basic earnings per share for the third quarter of
fiscal 2003 increased to $0.65 from $0.42 in fiscal 2002. For the third quarter
ended September 30, 2003, net interest income improved by 22%, and noninterest
income improved by 32% for a combined improvement of $1.8 million when compared
to the same period in 2002. Partially offsetting these improvements for the
Company were an increase in the provision for loan losses of 47% and an increase
in noninterest expense 12% for a combined offset of $887 thousand, when compared
to the same period in 2002.
16
Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 was $4.4 million
as compared to net income of $2.8 million for the same period in 2002, an
increase of $1.6 million or 57%. Basic earnings per share for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003 increased to $1.57 from $1.01 for the first nine months
one year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net interest income
improved by 20%, while noninterest income improved by 42%, for a combined
improvement of $5.2 million when compared to the same period in 2002. The
improvement in noninterest income was due primarily to a large increase in the
gains on sales of residential real estate loans at the subsidiary banks.
Partially offsetting the improvements in revenue for the Company were increases
in noninterest expense of $2.0 million and the provision for loan losses of $765
thousand. The increase in noninterest expense was predominately due to growth in
salaries and employee benefits. After-tax income at Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust
was $147 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to
after-tax losses of $649 thousand for the same period in 2002. Profitability at
the new bank charter increased at a pace anticipated by management, and Cedar
Rapids Bank and Trust's growth has been more rapid than expected, as total
assets surpassed $100 million in February 2003 and ended at $142.3 million at
September 30, 2003.

The Company's operating results are derived largely from net interest income.
Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from
loans and investment securities, and interest expense, principally on borrowings
and customer deposits. Changes in net interest income result from changes in
volume, net interest spread and net interest margin. Volume refers to the
average dollar levels of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities. Net interest spread refers to the difference between the average
yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities. Net interest margin refers to the net interest income divided by
average interest-earning assets and is influenced by the level and relative mix
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
18
The Company realized a 0.12% decrease in the net interest spread declining from
3.26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to 3.14% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased
0.84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the same
period ended September 30, 2002. At the same time, the average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities declined 0.72%. The narrowing of the net interest
spread created a reduction in the Company's net interest margin. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2003, the net interest margin was 3.54% compared to
3.76% for the same period in 2002. Also, playing a role in the reduction of the
Company's net interest margin were prepayment penalties of $158 thousand
incurred by Quad City Bank & Trust on the early pay-off of several higher rate
FHLB advances, which had been borrowed in a much higher rate environment.
Without these penalties, and the retention of the advances, the Company's net
interest margin would have been 3.56% for the nine months ended September 30,
2003. Management aggressively managed the Company's cost of funds through the
dramatic drop in short-term interest rates in 2001 and the continuation of a low
interest rate environment throughout 2002 and into 2003, and will continue to
closely monitor and manage net interest margin.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 AND 2002
Interest income increased by $747 thousand to $8.6 million for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2003 when compared to $7.9 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 2002. The increase of 9% in interest income was attributable
to greater average, outstanding balances in interest earning assets, principally
with respect to loans receivable, partially offset by significant reductions in
interest rates. The Company's average yield on interest-earning assets decreased
0.78% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the three
months ended September 30, 2002.
Interest expense decreased by $299 thousand from $3.2 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2002 to $2.9 million for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2003. The 9% decrease in interest expense was caused
by significant reductions in interest rates, partially offset by greater
average, outstanding balances in interest-bearing liabilities, principally with
respect to customers' deposits in subsidiary banks, Federal Home Loan Bank
advances and short-term borrowings. The Company's average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities declined 0.79% for the three months ended September
30, 2003 when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002.
At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had an allowance for
estimated losses on loans of 1.77% and 1.53 %, respectively, of gross loans. The
provision for loan losses increased by $302 thousand from $637 thousand for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2002 to $939 thousand for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2003. During the third quarter of 2003, management
made monthly provisions for loan losses based upon a number of factors,
including the increase in loans and a detailed analysis of the loan portfolio.
During the third quarter of 2003, the $939 thousand provision to the allowance
for loan losses was attributed 13%, or $118 thousand, to net growth in the loan
portfolio, and 87%, or $821 thousand, to downgrades and write-offs within the
portfolio. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, commercial loan
charge-offs totaled $42 thousand, and there were commercial recoveries of $14
thousand. The recovery amount of $14 thousand was related to a $758 thousand
charge-off, which occurred during the first quarter of 2003 and was in addition
to a $1.2 million charge-off, which occurred during the quarter ended December
31, 2002. During the second quarter of 2003, recoveries resulted from the sale
of the borrower's real estate and equipment, and the liquidation of all of the
customer's other collateral. As in the third quarter, Quad City Bank & Trust
expects additional modest recoveries in future periods as gain from the sale of
other real estate, which was deferred in accordance with current accounting
rules, is recognized. Consumer loan charge-offs and recoveries totaled $75
thousand and $51 thousand, respectively, during the quarter. Credit card loans
accounted for 54% of the third quarter consumer charge-offs and 79% of the third
quarter consumer recoveries. Residential real estate loans had no charge-offs or
recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2003.
19
Noninterest income of $3.3 million for the three-month period ended September
30, 2003 was a $791 thousand, or 32%, increase from $2.5 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2002. Noninterest income during each of
the quarters in comparison consisted primarily of income from the merchant
credit card operation, fees from the trust department, depository service fees,
gains on the sale of residential real estate mortgage loans, and other
miscellaneous income. The quarter ended September 30, 2003, when compared to the
same quarter in 2002, posted a $96 thousand increase in fees earned by the
merchant credit card operations of Bancard. Gains on the sale of residential
real estate mortgage loans, net, increased $449 thousand from the quarter ended
September 30, 2002 to the same quarter in 2003. Activity was stimulated by
mortgage rates at, or below, forty year lows. Additional variations in
noninterest income consisted of a $37 thousand increase in trust department
fees, a $102 thousand increase in deposit service fees, and a $107 thousand
increase in other noninterest income. Other noninterest income in each quarter
consisted primarily of investment advisory and management fees, earnings on the
cash surrender value of life insurance, Visa check card fees, and income from
associated companies.
Merchant credit card fees for the three months ended September 30, 2003
increased by 14% to $784 thousand reflecting little effect of the sale of the
independent sales organization (ISO) related merchant credit card activity to
iPayment, Inc. In October 2002, the Company sold Bancard's ISO-related merchant
credit card operations to iPayment, Inc. for $3.5 million. After contractual
compensation and severance payments, transaction expenses, and income taxes, the
transaction resulted in a gain of $1.3 million, or $0.47 per share, which was
realized during the quarter ended December 31, 2002. Also included in the sale
were all of the merchant credit card processing relationships owned by Allied.
Bancard continues to provide credit card processing for its local merchants and
cardholders of the subsidiary banks and agent banks. Through September 24, 2003,
Bancard also temporarily continued to process ISO related transactions for
iPayment, Inc. for a fixed monthly fee rather than a percentage of transaction
volumes. Built into the sales contract with iPayment was an agreement that the
fixed monthly fee would increase as the temporary processing period was
extended. Extensions to the processing period and the resulting growth in the
fixed monthly fee have mitigated the drop in Bancard's earnings that was
expected to have occurred by this time. However, due to the transfer of this ISO
processing to another provider just prior to the close of the third quarter of
2003, the Company anticipates that in future quarters Bancard's monthly earnings
will be reduced significantly. The Company believes that Bancard will remain
profitable with its narrowed business focus of continuing to provide credit card
processing for its local merchants and agent banks and for cardholders of the
Company's subsidiary banks. Going forward, the Company anticipates that
quarterly merchant credit card fees, net of processing costs, will be in a range
of $225 thousand to $275 thousand from the Company's local merchant, cardholder,
and agent bank portfolios. As a result, it is anticipated that Quad City
Bancard's quarterly net income will likely be approximately break even to $30
thousand initially, due to the transfer of the iPayment processing to another
provider, as compared to net income of $357 thousand for the third quarter of
2003.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, trust department fees increased $37
thousand, or 7%, to $551 thousand from $514 thousand for the same quarter in
2002. There was continued development of existing trust relationships and the
addition of new trust customers during the quarter, however the impact of such
was partially offset by the reduced market values of securities held in trust
accounts and distributions to trust customers, when compared to one year ago,
and the resulting impact in the calculation and realization of trust fees.
Deposit service fees increased $102 thousand, or 36%, to $386 thousand from $284
thousand for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30,
2002, respectively. This increase was primarily a result of the growth in
noninterest bearing demand deposit accounts of $43.7 million, or 59%, since
September 30, 2002. Service charges and NSF (non-sufficient funds) charges
related to demand deposit accounts were the main components of deposit service
fees.
20
Gains on sales of loans, net, were $1.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2003, which reflected an increase of 63%, or $449 thousand, from
$713 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase
resulted from larger numbers of home refinances and home purchases, and the
subsequent sale of the majority of these loans into the secondary market.
Depressed interest rates, which have existed for the last several quarters,
continued to stimulate the activity within this area of the subsidiary banks
throughout the third quarter of 2003. While mortgage rates remain at
historically low levels, management anticipates that the level of gains on sales
of loans, net, will be reduced significantly for the remainder of the year and
beyond.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, other noninterest income increased
$107 thousand, or 39%, to $377 thousand from $270 thousand for the same quarter
in 2002. The increase was primarily due to a combination of improved fees
generated from the usage of Visa check cards by customers of the subsidiary
banks, improved earnings on the cash surrender value of life insurance, an
increase in investment advisory and management fees, and increased item
processing fees.
Noninterest expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 were $5.4
million as compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2002, for an increase
of $585 thousand or 12%. The primary components of noninterest expenses were
salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, and professional and
data processing fees, for both quarters.
The following table sets forth the various categories of noninterest expenses
for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

-----------------------
Total noninterest expenses .... $5,356,233 4,771,406 12.3%
=======================
For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, total salaries and benefits increased
to $3.3 million or $428 thousand over the previous year's quarter total of $2.9
million. Salaries and benefits experienced the most significant dollar increase
of any noninterest expense component. The increase was primarily due to the
increased incentive compensation to real estate officers proportionate to the
increased volumes of gains on sales of loans, in combination with increased
expenses related to both tax benefit rights and stock appreciation rights.
Professional and data processing fees increased from $396 thousand for the three
months ended September 30, 2002 to $506 thousand for the same three-month period
in 2003. The $110 thousand increase was predominately due to increases in data
processing and consulting fees at the subsidiary banks. Occupancy and equipment
expense decreased $47 thousand or 7% from quarter to quarter. The decrease was
predominately due to a $44 thousand adjustment made during the third quarter of
2002 to the property tax accrual. Advertising and marketing increased $39
thousand from $140 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2002 to
$179 thousand for the same period in 2003. The increase was proportionate to the
increased business activity throughout the Company. Other noninterest expense
increased $47 thousand, or 12%, for the three months ended September 30, 2003
when compared to the like period in 2002. The increase was primarily due to
increased service charges from upstream banks and increased insurance expense
incurred at the subsidiary banks.
The provision for income taxes was $890 thousand for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2003 compared to $588 thousand for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2002 for an increase of $301 thousand or 51%. The increase
was the result of an increase in income before income taxes of $950 thousand, or
54%, for the 2003 quarter when compared to the 2002 quarter.
21
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 AND 2002
Interest income increased by $2.4 million to $24.9 million for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2003 when compared to $22.5 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 2002. The increase of 10% in interest income was
attributable to greater average, outstanding balances in interest earning
assets, principally with respect to loans receivable, partially offset by
significant reductions in interest rates. The Company's average yield on
interest-earning assets decreased 0.84% for the nine months ended September 30,
2003 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
Interest expense decreased by $251 thousand from $9.4 million for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2002 to $9.2 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2003. The 3% decrease in interest expense was caused by
significant reductions in interest rates, almost entirely offset by a
combination of greater average, outstanding balances in interest-bearing
liabilities, principally with respect to customers' deposits in subsidiary banks
and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and prepayment penalties of $158 thousand
incurred by Quad City Bank & Trust on the early pay-off of several higher rate
FHLB advances. The Company's average cost of interest-bearing liabilities
declined 0.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the
nine months ended September 30, 2002.
At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had an allowance for
estimated losses on loans of 1.77% and 1.53 %, respectively, of gross loans. The
provision for loan losses increased by $766 thousand from $1.9 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 to $2.6 million for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2003. During the first nine months of 2003,
management made monthly provisions for loan losses based upon a number of
factors, including the increase in loans and a detailed analysis of the loan
portfolio. During the first nine months of 2003, the $2.6 million provision to
the allowance for loan losses was attributed 31%, or $827 thousand, to net
growth in the loan portfolio, and 69%, or $1.8 million, to downgrades and
write-offs within the portfolio. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003,
commercial loan charge-offs totaled $829 thousand, which resulted primarily from
a single customer relationship at Quad City Bank & Trust, and there were $155
thousand commercial recoveries, primarily due to this same relationship. The net
write-off of this relationship accounted for 24% of the provision for loans
losses during the first nine months of 2003 and was in addition to a $1.2
million charge-off, which occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2002.
The additional losses were a result of environmental issues associated with the
collateral for the loan, which were identified during the first quarter of 2003.
The Company believed that these environmental issues negatively impacted the
value and salability of the business and determined that it was appropriate to
take a conservative approach and write-down the loan balance to reflect no value
in the real estate and equipment collateral. During the second quarter of 2003,
all of the collateral, including the real estate and equipment, was sold which
resulted in a $120 thousand recovery. In the third quarter, there was a recovery
of $14 thousand, and Quad City Bank and Trust expects additional modest
recoveries in future periods as gain from the sale of other real estate, which
has been deferred in accordance with current accounting rules, is recognized.
Consumer loan charge-offs and recoveries totaled $215 thousand and $178
thousand, respectively, during the period. Residential real estate loans had no
charge-offs or recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.
Noninterest income of $9.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2003 was a $2.7 million, or 42%, increase from $6.3 million for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2002. Noninterest income during each of the periods
in comparison consisted primarily of income from the merchant credit card
operation, fees from the trust department, depository service fees, gains on the
sale of residential real estate mortgage loans, and other miscellaneous income.
The nine months ended September 30, 2003, when compared to the same period in
2002, posted a $16 thousand increase in fees earned by the merchant credit card
operations of Bancard. This stability in merchant credit card fees was the
result of Bancard's continued processing of the independent sales organization
(ISO) related merchant credit card activity, which was sold to iPayment, Inc. in
October 2002. Gains on the sale of residential real estate mortgage loans, net,
increased $1.9 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to the same
period in calendar 2003. Activity was stimulated by mortgage rates at, or below,
forty year lows. Additional variations in noninterest income consisted of a $265
thousand increase in deposit service fees and a $506 thousand increase in other
noninterest income. Other noninterest income in each period consisted primarily
of investment advisory and management fees, earnings on the cash surrender value
of life insurance, and income from associated companies.
22
Merchant credit card fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 remained
at $1.8 million, unchanged from the same period in 2002, reflecting little
effect of the sale of the independent sales organization (ISO) related merchant
credit card activity to iPayment, Inc. In October 2002, the Company sold
Bancard's ISO-related merchant credit card operations to iPayment, Inc. for $3.5
million. After contractual compensation and severance payments, transaction
expenses, and income taxes, the transaction resulted in a gain of $1.3 million,
or $0.47 per share, which was realized during the quarter ended December 31,
2002. Also included in the sale were all of the merchant credit card processing
relationships owned by Allied. Bancard continues to provide credit card
processing for its local merchants and cardholders of the subsidiary banks and
agent banks. Through September 24, 2003, Bancard also temporarily continued to
process ISO related transactions for iPayment, Inc. for a fixed monthly fee
rather than a percentage of transaction volumes. Built into the sales contract
with iPayment was an agreement that the fixed monthly fee would increase as the
temporary processing period was extended. Extensions to the processing period
and the resulting growth in the fixed monthly fee have mitigated the drop in
Bancard's earnings that was expected to have occurred by this time. However, due
to the transfer of this ISO processing to another provider just prior to the
close of the third quarter of 2003, the Company anticipates that in future
quarters Bancard's monthly earnings will be reduced significantly. The Company
believes that Bancard will remain profitable with its narrowed business focus of
continuing to provide credit card processing for its local merchants and agent
banks and for cardholders of the Company's subsidiary banks. Going forward, the
Company anticipates that quarterly merchant credit card fees, net of processing
costs, will likely be in a range of $225 thousand to $275 thousand from the
Company's local merchant, cardholder, and agent bank portfolios. As a result, it
is anticipated that Quad City Bancard's quarterly net income will likely be
approximately break even to $30 thousand initially, due to the transfer of the
iPayment processing to another provider, as compared to net income of $741
thousand for the first nine months of 2003.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, trust department fees increased
$14 thousand, or less than 1%, to remain at $1.7 million, as they were for the
same period in 2002. Although there was continued development of existing trust
relationships and the addition of new trust customers during the period, the
impact was entirely offset by the reduced market values of securities held in
trust accounts and distributions to trust customers, when compared to one year
ago, and the resulting impact in the calculation and realization of trust fees.
Deposit service fees increased $265 thousand, or 32%, to $1.1 million from $815
thousand for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30,
2002, respectively. This increase was primarily a result of the growth in
noninterest bearing demand deposit accounts of $43.7 million, or 59%, since
September 30, 2002. Service charges and NSF (non-sufficient funds) charges
related to demand deposit accounts were the main components of deposit service
fees.
Gains on sales of loans, net, were $3.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003, which reflected an increase of 126%, or $1.8 million, from
$1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase resulted
from larger numbers of home refinances and home purchases, and the subsequent
sale of the majority of these loans into the secondary market. Depressed
interest rates, which have existed for the last several quarters, continued to
stimulate the activity within this area of the subsidiary banks throughout the
first nine months of 2003. While mortgage rates remain at historically low
levels, management anticipates that the level of gains on sales of loans, net
will be reduced significantly for the remainder of the year and beyond.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, other noninterest income increased
$506 thousand, or 83%, to $1.1 million from $609 thousand for the same period in
2002. The increase was primarily due to a combination of increased earnings
realized by Nobel Electronic Transfer, LLC, one of the four associated companies
in which the Company holds an interest, gain realized on the sale of foreclosed
property, improved earnings on the cash surrender value of life insurance, and
to improved fees generated from the usage of Visa check cards by customers of
the subsidiary banks.
Noninterest expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $15.5
million as compared to $13.5 million for the same period in 2002, for an
increase of $2.0 million or 15%. The primary components of noninterest expenses
were salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, and professional
and data processing fees, for both periods.

The following table sets forth the various categories of noninterest expenses
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

-------------------------
Total noninterest expenses .. $15,539,655 13,548,920 14.7%
=========================
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, total salaries and benefits
increased to $9.4 million or $1.2 million over the previous year's nine-month
total of $8.2 million. Salaries and benefits experienced the most significant
dollar increase of any noninterest expense component. The increase was primarily
due to the addition of employees at the subsidiary banks, in combination with
increased expense related to tax benefit rights and stock appreciation rights
and incentive compensation to real estate officers proportionate to the
increased volumes of gains on sales of loans. Professional and data processing
fees increased from $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to
$1.5 million for the same nine-month period in 2003. The $444 thousand increase
was predominately due to increases in data processing and auditing fees at the
subsidiary banks. Advertising and marketing expense increased to $532 thousand
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $457 thousand for the
comparable period in 2002. The $75 thousand increase was a reflection of the
Company's growth during the past year. Postage and telephone increased $74
thousand from $401 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 to $475
thousand for the same period in 2003. The increase was proportionate to the
increased business activity throughout the Company. Other noninterest expense
increased $141 thousand, or 11%, for the nine months ended Septmeber 30, 2003
when compared to the like period in 2002. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in expenses related to other real estate owned, an increase in
insurance expense, and increased service charges from upstream banks.
The provision for income taxes was $2.2 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2003 compared to $1.3 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2002 for an increase of $896 thousand or 70%. The increase was the
result of an increase in income before income taxes of $2.5 million or 61% for
the 2003 period when compared to the 2002 period, in combination with an
increase in the Company's effective tax rate, from 31.37% to 33.20%, which was
the result of tax-free income representing a smaller portion of the Company's
total income.
LIQUIDITY
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 liquidity of the
Company primarily depends upon cash flows from operating, investing, and
financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities, consisting
primarily of proceeds on sales of loans, was $14.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003 compared to $3.3 million net cash used in the same
period in 2002. Net cash used in investing activities, consisting principally of
loan originations to be held for investment and purchases of available for sale
securities, was $78.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and
$89.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Net cash provided by
financing activities, consisting primarily of deposit growth, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 was $72.7 million and for the same period in
2002 was $101.4 million.
The Company has a variety of sources of short-term liquidity available to it,
including federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, sales of securities
available for sale, FHLB advances, lines of credit and loan participations or
sales. At September 30, 2003, the subsidiary banks had seven unused lines of
credit totaling $41.0 million, of which $4.0 million was secured and $37.0
million was unsecured. At December 31, 2002, the subsidiary banks had seven
unused lines of credit totaling $38.0 million, of which $4.0 million was secured
and $34.0 million was unsecured. At both September 30, 2003 and December 31,
2002, the Company also had a line of credit at its primary correspondent bank
for $15.0 and $10.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2002, $5.0 million
had been drawn and used as partial funding for the capitalization of Cedar
Rapids Bank & Trust, and in February 2003 an additional $2.0 million was drawn
as funding to maintain the required level of capital at Cedar Rapids Bank &
Trust in light of the bank's growth. In July 2003, the Company transferred its
line of credit to a new primary correspondent and drew an additional $3.0
million for capital maintenance purposes at Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust.
24
The Company paid its first cash dividend of $0.05 per share, totaling $138
thousand, in January 2003. Going forward, it is the Company's intention to
consider the payment of dividends on a semi-annual basis. The Company
anticipates an ongoing need to retain much of its operating income to help
provide the capital for continued growth, however believes that operating
results have reached a level that can sustain dividends to stockholders as well.
The Company paid a $0.05 per share cash dividend, totaling $139 thousand, on
July 3, 2003, to stockholders of record on June 16, 2003. On October 23, 2003,
the Company declared a $0.06 per share dividend payable on January 5, 2004 for
each share of common stock held of record as of December 15, 2003.

Item 3
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company realizes income principally from the spread between the interest
earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets and the interest
paid on deposits and borrowings. Loan volumes and yields, as well as the volume
of and rates on investments, deposits and borrowings, are affected by market
interest rates. Additionally, because of the terms and conditions on many of the
investments and the loan and deposit accounts, a change in interest rates could
also affect the projected maturities in the securities and loan portfolios
and/or the deposit base, which could alter the Company's sensitivity to future
changes in interest rates. Accordingly, management considers interest rate risk
to be a significant market risk.
Interest rate risk management focuses on maintaining consistent growth in net
interest income within policy limits approved by the board of directors, while
taking into consideration, among other factors, the Company's overall credit,
operating income, operating cost, and capital profile. The subsidiary banks'
ALM/Investment Committees, which includes senior management representatives and
members of the board of directors, monitor and manage interest rate risk to
maintain an acceptable level of change to net interest income as a result of
changes in interest rates.
One method used to quantify interest rate risk is the net portfolio value
analysis. This analysis calculates the difference between the present value of
liabilities and the present value of expected cash flows from assets and
off-balance sheet contracts. The most recent net portfolio value analysis, as of
June 30, 2003, projected that net portfolio value would decrease by
approximately 4.23% if interest rates would rise 200 basis points over the next
year. It projected an increase in net portfolio value of approximately 3.82% if
interest rates would drop 200 basis points. Both simulations are within the
board-established policy limits of a 10% decline in value.
