AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
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. 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. Accordingly, these financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. 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, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.
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.
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"), Rockford Bank and Trust Company ("Rockford Bank & Trust"), Quad
City Bancard, Inc. ("Bancard"), and Quad City Liquidation Corporation ("QCLC").
Quad City Bank & Trust owns 80% of the equity interests of M2 Lease Funds, LLC
("M2 Lease Funds"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. The Company also wholly owns QCR Holdings
Statutory Trust II ("Trust II"), QCR Holdings Statutory Trust III ("Trust III"),
QCR Holdings Statutory Trust IV ("Trust IV"), and QCR Holdings Statutory Trust V
("Trust V"). These four entities were established by the Company for the sole
purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. As required by current accounting
rules, the Company's equity investments in these entities are not consolidated,
but are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet for $1.1
million in aggregate at September 30, 2006. In addition to these nine wholly
owned subsidiaries, the Company has an aggregate investment of $714 thousand in
three affiliated companies, Nobel Electronic Transfer, LLC ("Nobel"), Nobel Real
Estate Investors, LLC ("Nobel Real Estate"), and Velie Plantation Holding
Company. The Company owns 20% equity positions in both Nobel and Nobel Real
Estate and a 47% equity position in Velie Plantation Holding Company. In June
2005, Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust entered into a joint venture as a 50% owner of
Cedar Rapids Mortgage Company, LLC ("Cedar Rapids Mortgage Company").
Stock-based compensation plans: The Company's Board of Directors adopted and the
stockholders approved stock option and incentive plans in June 1993, November
1996, and January 2004. These plans are administered by a Committee appointed by
the Board of Directors, which determines the number and exercise price of stock
options granted at the time of the grant. Additionally two of the stock option
and incentive plans allow the granting of stock appreciation rights ("SARs").
The Company's Board of Directors adopted and the stockholders also approved an
employee stock purchase plan in October 2002. Please refer to Note 14 of our
consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2005, for additional information related to these stock
option and incentive plans, SARs and stock purchase plan.
8
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company's stock-based employee compensation
expense under the stock option plans was accounted for in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees," and related interpretations. Because the exercise price of the
Company's employee stock options always equaled the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense was recognized on
options granted. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard 123R ("SFAS 123R") effective as of January 1, 2006. SFAS
123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation using APB 25
and requires that all share-based awards made to employees and directors,
including stock options, SARs and stock purchase plan transactions be recognized
as compensation cost in the income statement based on their fair values on the
measurement date, which is generally the date of the grant. The Company
transitioned to fair-value based accounting for stock-based compensation using a
modified version of prospective application ("modified prospective
application"). Under the modified prospective application, compensation cost
included in noninterest expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
includes 1) compensation cost of share-based payments granted prior to but not
yet vested as of September 30, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value
estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard 123 ("SFAS 123"), and 2) compensation cost for all
share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the
grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
Prior periods were not restated to reflect the impact of adopting the new
standard.
As a result of applying the provisions of SFAS 123R during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized additional stock-based
compensation expense related to stock options, stock purchases, and SARs of $53
thousand and $78 thousand, respectively. As required by SFAS 123R, management
made an estimate of expected forfeitures and is recognizing compensation costs
only for those equity awards expected to vest.
The Company receives a tax deduction for certain stock option exercises during
the period the options are exercised, generally for the excess of the price at
which the options are sold over the exercise price of the options. Prior to
adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company reported all tax benefits resulting from the
exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in our consolidated statements
of cash flows. In accordance with SFAS 123R, for the nine months ended September
30, 2006, the Company revised our consolidated statements of cash flows
presentation to report the tax benefits from the exercise of stock options as
financing cash flows.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair
value of stock option grants with the following assumptions for the indicated
periods:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2006 2005
-----------------------------------
Dividend yield ......................... 0.42% to 0.48% 0.36% to 0.39%
Expected volatility .................... 24.46% to 26.55% 24.49% to 24.81%
Risk-free interest rate ................ 4.47% to 5.26% 4.23% to 4.48%
Expected life of option grants ......... 6 years 10 years
Weighted-average grant date fair value . $6.48 $9.03
The Company also uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the
fair value of stock purchase grants with the following assumptions for the
indicated periods:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2006 2005
-------------------------------------
Dividend yield ......................... 0.41% to 0.46% 0.38%
Expected volatility .................... 10.93% to 13.06% 15.85% to 24.81%
Risk-free interest rate ................ 4.17% to 5.21% 2.21% to 3.31%
Expected life of stock purchase grants . 3 to 6 months 3 to 6 months
Weighted-average grant date fair value . $2.44 $3.09
9
The fair value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods of
the grants and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures.
The expected dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's current
expectations about its anticipated dividend policy. Expected volatility is based
on historical volatility of the Company's common stock price. The risk-free
interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on
the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected
life of grants is derived using the `simplified" method as allowed under the
provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 107 and represents the period of time that options are expected to be
outstanding. Historical data is used to estimate forfeitures used in the model.
Two separate groups of employees (employees subject to broad based grants, and
executive employees and directors) are used.
As of September 30, 2006, there was $464 thousand of unrecognized compensation
cost related to share based payments, which is expected to be recognized over a
weighted average period of 3.05 years.
A summary of the stock option plans as of September 30, 2006 and changes during
the nine months is presented below:

NOTE 3 - BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company's business segments operate utilizing strong intercompany
relationships, primarily with Quad City Bank & Trust. Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust
and Rockford Bank & Trust both look to Quad City Bank & Trust as their primary
upstream correspondent bank. These relationships produce Federal funds activity,
both purchases and sales, which result in intercompany interest income/expense,
that is eliminated in segment reporting. At September 30, 2006, the net effects
of this elimination to Quad City Bank & Trust's net income were positive $123
thousand for three months and negative $112 thousand for nine months. The
reciprocal net effects of this elimination to net income, at September 30, 2006,
were negative $40 thousand and positive $97 thousand to Cedar Rapids Bank &
Trust and negative $83 thousand and positive $15 thousand to Rockford Bank &
Trust for three months and nine months, respectively. At September 30, 2005, the
negative net effects of this elimination to Quad City Bank & Trust's net income
were $22 thousand for three months and $49 thousand for nine months. The
reciprocal net effects to net income, at September 30, 2005, were positive $6
thousand and $96 thousand to Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust for three and nine
months, respectively. The reciprocal net effects to net income, at September 30,
2005, were positive $16 thousand and negative $47 thousand to Rockford Bank &
Trust for three and nine months, respectively.
M2 Lease Funds also utilizes the services of Quad City Bank & Trust to provide
the funding for its $48.3 million lease portfolio. The intercompany interest
income/expense, which results from this funding relationship, is eliminated in
segment reporting. At September 30, 2006, the negative net effect to net income
for Quad City Bank & Trust and the positive net effect to net income for M2
Lease Funds were each $536 thousand and $1.4 million for three and nine months,
respectively. At September 30, 2005, the negative net effect to net income for
Quad City Bank & Trust and the positive net effect to net income for M2 Lease
Funds were each $9 thousand for both three and nine months, respectively. M2
Lease Funds was acquired by Quad City Bank & Trust in August 2005.
Selected financial information on the Company's business segments, with all
intercompany accounts and transactions eliminated, is presented as follows for
the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,

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.
12
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 subsidiary 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, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, no amounts were recorded as liabilities for the banks'
potential obligations under these guarantees.
As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, commitments to extend credit
aggregated were $445.4 million and $385.8 million, respectively. As of September
30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, standby, commercial and similar letters of
credit aggregated were $15.6 million and $15.2 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 amounts of $5.3 million and $2.6 million, at September
30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 respectively. These amounts are included in loans
held for sale at the respective balance sheet dates.
Residential mortgage loans sold to investors in the secondary market are sold
with varying recourse provisions. Essentially, all loan sales agreements require
the repurchase of a mortgage loan by the seller in situations such as breach of
representation, warranty, or covenant, untimely document delivery, false or
misleading statements, failure to obtain certain certificates or insurance,
unmarketability, etc. Certain loan sales agreements also contain repurchase
requirements based on payment-related defects that are defined in terms of the
number of days/months since the purchase, the sequence number of the payment,
and/or the number of days of payment delinquency. Based on the specific terms
stated in the agreements of investors purchasing residential mortgage loans from
the Company's subsidiary banks, the Company had $43.5 million and $43.4 million
of sold residential mortgage loans with recourse provisions still in effect at
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The subsidiary banks did
not repurchase any loans from secondary market investors under the terms of
loans sales agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 or the
year ended December 31, 2005. In the opinion of management, the risk of recourse
to the subsidiary banks is not significant, and accordingly no liabilities have
been established related to such.
During 2004, Quad City Bank & Trust joined the Federal Home Loan Bank's (FHLB)
Mortgage Partnership Finance (MPF) Program, which offers a "risk-sharing"
alternative to selling residential mortgage loans to investors in the secondary
market. Lenders funding mortgages through the MPF Program manage the credit risk
of the loans they originate. The loans are subsequently funded by the FHLB and
held within their portfolio, thereby managing the liquidity, interest rate, and
prepayment risks of the loans. Lenders participating in the MPF Program receive
monthly credit enhancement fees for managing the credit risk of the loans they
originate. Any credit losses incurred on those loans will be absorbed first by
private mortgage insurance, second by an allowance established by the FHLB, and
third by withholding monthly credit enhancements due to the participating
lender. At September 30, 2006, Quad City Bank & Trust had funded $13.8 million
of mortgages through the FHLB's MPF Program with an attached credit exposure of
$279 thousand. In conjunction with its participation in this program, at
September 30, 2006, Quad City Bank & Trust had both a credit enhancement
receivable and a credit enhancement obligation of $35 thousand. At December 31,
2005, Quad City Bank & Trust had funded $13.8 million of mortgages through the
FHLB's MPF Program with an attached credit exposure of $279 thousand. In
conjunction with its participation in this program, at December 31, 2005, Quad
City Bank & Trust had both a credit enhancement receivable and a credit
enhancement obligation of $48 thousand.
13
Bancard is subject to the risk of cardholder chargebacks and its merchants 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 local merchant. Until 2004, Bancard had
not experienced any noteable chargeback activity in which the local or agent
bank merchant's cash reserves on deposit were not sufficient to cover the
chargeback volumes. However, in 2004, two of Bancard's local merchants
experienced cases of fraud and subsequent chargeback volumes that surpassed
their cash reserves. As a result, Bancard incurred $196 thousand of chargeback
loss expense due to the fraudulent activity on these two merchants and the
establishment in August 2004 of an allowance for chargeback losses. Throughout
2005 monthly provisions were made to the allowance for chargeback losses based
on the dollar volumes of merchant credit card activity. For the year ended
December 31, 2005, monthly provisions were made totaling $48 thousand. An
aggregate of $135 thousand of reversals of specific merchant reserves during
2005 more than offset these provisions. At September 30, 2006 and December 31,
2005, Bancard had a merchant chargeback reserve of $84 thousand and $77
thousand, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, reserve
provisions were made totaling $8 thousand. Management will continually monitor
merchant credit card volumes, related chargeback activity, and Bancard's level
of the allowance for chargeback losses.
The Company also has a limited guarantee to MasterCard International,
Incorporated, which is backed by a $750 thousand letter of credit from The
Northern Trust Company. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there
were no significant pending liabilities.
In an arrangement with Goldman, Sachs and Company, Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust
offers a cash management program for select customers. Using this cash
management tool, the customer's demand deposit account performs like an
investment account. Based on a predetermined minimum balance, which must be
maintained in the account, excess funds are automatically swept daily to an
institutional money market fund distributed by Goldman Sachs. As with a
traditional demand deposit account, customers retain complete check-writing and
withdrawal privileges. If the demand deposit account balance drops below the
predetermined threshold, funds are automatically swept back from the money
market fund at Goldman Sachs to the account at Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust to
maintain the required minimum balance. Balances swept into the money market
funds are not bank deposits, are not insured by any U.S. government agency, and
do not require cash reserves to be set against the balances. At September 30,
2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had $10.5 million and $36.1 million,
respectively, of customer funds invested in this cash management program.
NOTE 5 - JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

=========================
In February 2004, the Company issued, in a private transaction, $12.0 million of
fixed/floating rate capital securities and $8.0 million of floating rate capital
securities through two newly formed subsidiaries, Trust II and Trust III,
respectively. The securities issued by Trust II and Trust III mature in thirty
years. The fixed/floating rate capital securities are callable at par after
seven years, and the floating rate capital securities are callable at par after
five years. The fixed/floating rate capital securities have a fixed rate of
6.93%, payable quarterly, for seven years, at which time they have a variable
rate based on the three-month LIBOR, reset quarterly, and the floating rate
capital securities have a variable rate based on the three-month LIBOR, reset
quarterly, with the rate currently set at 8.22%. Trust II and Trust III used the
proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities, along with the funds
from their equity, to purchase junior subordinated debentures of the Company in
the amounts of $12.4 million and $8.2 million, respectively. These securities
were $20.0 million in aggregate at September 30, 2006. On June 30, 2004, the
Company redeemed $12.0 million of 9.2% cumulative trust preferred securities
issued by Trust I in 1999. During 2004, the Company recognized a loss of $747
thousand on the redemption of these trust preferred securities at their earliest
call date, which resulted from the one-time write-off of unamortized costs
related to the original issuance of the securities in 1999.
14
In May 2005, the Company issued $5.0 million of floating rate capital securities
of QCR Holdings Statutory Trust IV. The securities represent the undivided
beneficial interest in Trust IV, which was established by the Company for the
sole purpose of issuing the Trust Preferred Securities. The securities issued by
Trust IV mature in thirty years, but are callable at par after five years. The
Trust Preferred Securities have a variable rate based on the three-month LIBOR,
reset quarterly, with the current rate set at 7.17%. Interest is payable
quarterly. Trust IV used the $5.0 million of proceeds from the sale of the Trust
Preferred Securities, in combination with $155 thousand of proceeds from its own
equity to purchase $5.2 million of junior subordinated debentures of the
Company.
On February 24, 2006, the Company announced the issuance of $10.0 million of
fixed/floating rate capital securities of QCR Holdings Statutory Trust V. The
securities represent the undivided beneficial interest in Trust V, which was
established by the Company for the sole purpose of issuing the Trust Preferred
Securities. The Trust Preferred Securities were sold in a private transaction
exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and were
not registered under the Act.
The securities issued by Trust V mature in thirty years, but are callable at par
after five years. The Trust Preferred Securities have a fixed rate of 6.22%,
payable quarterly, for five years, at which time they have a variable rate based
on the three-month LIBOR plus 1.55%, reset and payable quarterly. Trust V used
the $10.0 million of proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities,
in combination with $310 thousand of proceeds from its own equity to purchase
$10.3 million of junior subordinated debentures of the Company. The Company
incurred no issuance costs as a result of the transaction. The Company used the
net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the paydown of its other
borrowings.
NOTE 6 - RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments", which permits, but does not require, fair value accounting for any
hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that would
otherwise require bifurcation in accordance with SFAS 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The statement also subjects
beneficial interests in securitized financial assets to the requirements of SFAS
133. For the Company, this statement is effective for all financial instruments
acquired, issued, or subject to remeasurement after January 1, 2007, with
earlier adoption permitted. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to
the consolidated financial statements when SFAS 155 is adopted.
In March 2006, FASB issued SFAS 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140". SFAS 156 requires an entity to
recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an
obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract as
defined in the SFAS. It requires all separately recognized servicing assets and
servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable,
and allows an entity to choose between amortization or fair value measurement
methods for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing
liabilities. It also permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale
securities to trading without tainting the investment portfolio, provided the
available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the
entity's exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing
liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2007. The
Company does not anticipate a material impact to the consolidated financial
statements when SFAS 156 is adopted.
In July 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and
reporting for income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes." This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the
financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of
uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48. The Company will adopt
this Interpretation in the first quarter of 2007.
In September 2006, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force 06-4,
"Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of
Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements" ("EITF 06-4"). EITF 06-4
addresses accounting for split-dollar life insurance arrangements after the

NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On October 23, 2006, the Company announced that it entered into a series of
agreements, which will result in the addition of a Wisconsin-chartered bank to
the Company's current family of community banks. The new bank, which will be
known after the acquisition as First Wisconsin Bank and Trust Company ("First
Wisconsin Bank & Trust"), will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with
one office located in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. Rockford Bank & Trust's current
Wisconsin branch will be folded into this charter. The Company anticipates that
this transaction will occur early in the first quarter of 2007.
On October 31, 2006, the Company closed a private placement offering for the
sale of up to $15.0 million of its Series B Non-cumulative Perpetual Preferred
Stock ("the Shares"). The Company offered 300 of the Shares at $50 thousand per

Dividends will be payable only if declared. Pursuant to the offering, the
Company sold 191of the Shares for an aggregate price of $9.6 million. The Shares
have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("the Act"), as
amended, nor have they been registered or qualified under the securities laws of
any state of the United States, and were offered and sold in reliance on
exemptions from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable
state laws. Offers and sales were made only to "accredited investors," as that

OVERVIEW
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
Despite the solid growth in revenue experienced during the first nine months of
2006, net income for the period fell short of net income from the comparable
period one year ago, due primarily to an increase in noninterest expenses. Net
income for the first nine months of 2006 was $2.6 million as compared to net
income of $3.5 million for the same period in 2005, a decrease of $986 thousand,
or 28%. Both basic and diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of
2006 were $0.55, compared to $0.78 basic and $0.77 diluted earnings per share
for the like period in 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, total
revenue experienced an improvement of $16.4 million when compared to the same
period in 2005. Contributing to this 39% improvement in revenue for the Company
were increases in interest income of $14.7 million, or 42%, and in noninterest
income of $1.7 million, or 22%. The gain on sale of a foreclosed asset at Quad
City Bank & Trust contributed $650 thousand, or 36%, of the year-to-year
increase in noninterest income. For the first nine months of 2006, the Company's
net interest spread narrowed 43 basis points when compared to the same period in
2005, and as a result, in the same comparison the net interest margin declined
37 basis points. For the first nine months of 2006, the Company increased its
provision for loan/lease losses by $1.1 million, or 203%, when compared to the
same period in 2005. During the first nine months of 2005, the Company made
significant provision reversals, which were attributed to upgrades within the
loan portfolio. The recognition in 2006 of $214 thousand in pretax losses on a
mortgage-backed mutual fund investment also contributed to the decrease in net
income. The first nine months of 2006 reflected a significant increase in
noninterest expenses of $4.1 million, or 19%, when compared to the same period
in 2005. The increase in noninterest expenses was predominately due to increases
in both personnel and facilities costs, as the subsidiary banks opened five new
banking locations during 2005, and the Company made preparations during the
first three quarters of 2006 to branch into Wisconsin. The cost of these five
additional banking facilities has impacted all of 2006. In 2005, the impact was
layered in gradually, as one facility was opened in each quarter and two were
opened in the third quarter. During 2006, the Wisconsin branch of Rockford Bank
& Trust has experienced after-tax start-up losses of $514 thousand. On October
31, 2006, the Company closed a private placement offering for the sale of its
Series B Non-cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock ("the Shares"). The Company
offered 300 of the Shares at $50 thousand per share with a stated rate of 8.00%.
The Company sold 191 of the Shares for an aggregate price of $9.6 million. Net
proceeds of $9.2 million, after payment of fees and expenses, were available for
general corporate purposes, including the paydown of the Company's other
borrowings.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
Despite continued solid growth in revenue for the third quarter of 2006, net
income for the quarter fell significantly short of third quarter net income from
one year ago, due primarily to an increase in noninterest expenses. Net income
for the third quarter of 2006 was $520 thousand as compared to net income of
$956 thousand for the same period in 2005, a decrease of $436 thousand, or 46%.
Both basic and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2006 were
$0.11, compared to $0.21 basic and diluted earnings per share for the like
quarter in 2005. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, total revenue
experienced an improvement of $6.1 million when compared to the same period in
2005. Contributing to this 41% improvement in revenue were increases in interest
income of $5.9 million, or 47%, and in noninterest income of $234 thousand, or
9%. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company's net interest spread narrowed for
the fifth consecutive quarter, and as a result, the net interest margin declined
38 basis points from the third quarter of 2005. For the third quarter of 2006,
the Company increased its provision for loan/lease losses by $346 thousand, or
90%, when compared to the same period in 2005. During the third quarter of 2006,
the Company experienced a net increase in the loan/lease portfolio of $75.9
million, which was up $28.1 million, or 59%, from a net increase of $47.8
million during the third quarter of 2005. The establishment in September 2006 of
a $100 thousand contingent liability related to the second quarter sale of a
foreclosed asset also contributed to the decrease in net income. The third
quarter of 2006 reflected a significant increase in noninterest expense of $1.4
million, or 19%, when compared to the same period in 2005. The increase in
noninterest expense was predominately due to increases in personnel, as the
subsidiary banks opened five new banking locations during 2005 and the Company
made preparations during 2006 to branch into Wisconsin. During the third quarter
of 2006, the Wisconsin branch of Rockford Bank & Trust experienced after-tax
start-up losses of $239 thousand.
18
The Company's net income for the third quarter of 2006 was $520 thousand, which
was a decline of 57%, or $684 thousand from the previous quarter.
Quarter-to-quarter total revenue increased by $1.3 million, or 7%, while total
expense increased by $2.4 million, or 13%. Despite a narrowing of the net
interest spread for the fifth consecutive quarter, the Company's net interest
income grew $432 thousand from the second quarter due primarily to increased
loan/lease volumes. However, the positive effects of strong loan/lease growth at
the subsidiary banks were not enough to neutralize the negative effects from
both rate and volume increases in interest bearing liabilities. In a comparison
of the third quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2006, the 6% increase in
net interest income was essentially erased by an increase in the provision for
loan/lease losses of $377 thousand. The gain on sale of a foreclosed asset at
Quad City Bank & Trust contributed $745 thousand to second quarter earnings,
while third quarter earnings reflected a $100 thousand loss in this same
category. Quarter-to-quarter, a $325 thousand increase in total noninterest
expenses was primarily the result of a combination of increased salaries and
employee benefits expense and professional fees expense at Quad City Bank &
Trust, the Company's largest subsidiary bank. Core earnings at Quad City Bank &
Trust were weak during the third quarter and contributed significantly to the
Company's depressed quarterly earnings.
NET INTEREST INCOME
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.
Net interest income increased $824 thousand, or 12%, to $7.7 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2006, from $6.9 million for the third quarter of
2005. For the third quarter of 2006, average earning assets increased by $240.9
million, or 28%, and average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $233.3
million, or 30%, when compared with average balances for the third quarter of
2005. A comparison of yields, spread and margin from the third quarter of 2006
to the third quarter of 2005 is as follows:
o The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 87 basis
points.
o The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 133 basis
points.
o The net interest spread declined 46 basis points from 2.91% to 2.45%.
o The net interest margin declined 38 basis points from 3.22% to 2.84%.
Net interest income increased $1.9 million, or 10%, to $22.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $20.1 million for the first nine
months of 2005. For the first nine months of 2006, average earning assets
increased by $197.5 million, or 24%, and average interest-bearing liabilities
increased by $193.5 million, or 26%, when compared with average balances for the
first nine months of 2005. A comparison of yields, spread and margin from the
first nine months of 2006 to the comparable period of 2005 shows the following:
o The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 85 basis
points.
o The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 128 basis
points.
o The net interest spread declined 43 basis points from 2.98% to 2.55%.
o The net interest margin declined 37 basis points from 3.27% to 2.90%.

on major balance sheet categories, as well as, the components of change in net
interest income are presented in the following tables:

RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
The Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 (the "Regulatory Relief
Act") was signed into law on October 13, 2006. The stated purpose of the
Regulatory Relief Act is to provide regulatory relief and improve productivity
for insured depository institutions. Among other things, the Regulatory Relief
Act: (i) requires the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in consultation with the other federal
banking regulators, to jointly promulgate regulations to implement the bank
broker-dealer exceptions enacted in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and makes
savings associations subject to the same broker-dealer registration requirements
as banks; (ii) authorizes the Federal Reserve to pay interest on reserve
balances maintained at the Federal Reserve Banks; (iii) authorizes the Federal
Reserve to lower the reserve requirement for transaction accounts to 0%; (iv)
enhances the authority of a national bank or state member bank to make community
development investments and increases (from 10% to 15%) the maximum amount of
unimpaired capital and surplus that a national bank or member bank may invest in
investments designed to promote the public welfare; (v) increases the asset
threshold (from $250 million to $500 million) for well-capitalized and
well-managed banks eligible for 18-month (rather than 12-month) examinations;
(vi) enhances the power of the federal banking agencies to enforce conditions
imposed in writing in connection with the approval of applications and written
agreements; (vii) clarifies the jurisdiction of the various state regulators
over banks with branches in more than one state; and (viii) directs the
Comptroller General to conduct studies on the currency transaction report filing
system to determine whether and to what extent the filing rules for currency
transaction reports are burdensome and whether such requirements should be
modified to reduce such perceived burdens.
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/lease
losses. The Company's allowance for loan/lease loss methodology incorporates a
variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative in
establishing an allowance for loan/lease 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/lease, and other factors. Quantitative
factors also incorporate known information about individual loans/leases,
including borrowers' sensitivity to interest rate movements. Qualitative factors
include the general economic environment in the Company's markets, including
economic conditions throughout the Midwest and in particular, the state of
certain industries. Size and complexity of individual credits in relation to
loan/lease structure, existing loan/lease policies and pace of portfolio growth
are other qualitative factors that are considered in the methodology. Management
may report a materially different amount for the provision for loan/lease losses
in the statement of operations to change the allowance for loan/lease 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/lease losses in the section entitled "Financial Condition." Although
management believes the levels of the allowance as of both September 30, 2006
and December 31, 2005 were adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan/lease
portfolio, a decline in local economic conditions, or other factors, could
result in increasing losses that cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND 2005
Interest income increased by $5.9 million to $18.4 million for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2006 when compared to $12.5 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 2005. The increase of 47% in interest income was
attributable to greater average, outstanding balances in interest earning
assets, principally with respect to loans/leases receivable, in combination with
an improved aggregate asset yield. The Company's average yield on interest
earning assets was 6.71%, an increase of 87 basis points for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 when compared to the same period in 2005.
24
Interest expense increased by $5.1 million from $5.6 million for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2005, to $10.7 million for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2006. The 89% increase in interest expense was primarily due
to aggregate increased interest rates, principally with respect to customers'
interest-bearing demand deposits and time deposits in the subsidiary banks. The
Company's average cost of interest bearing liabilities was 4.26% for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, which was an increase of 133 basis points when
compared to the third quarter of 2005.
At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had an allowance for
estimated losses on loans/leases of 1.11% and 1.17% of gross loans/leases
receivable, respectively. The provision for loan/lease losses increased by $346
thousand from $383 thousand for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005
to $729 thousand for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006. Management
determined the appropriate monthly provision for loan/lease losses based upon a
number of factors, including the increase in loans/leases and a detailed
analysis of the loan/lease portfolio. During the third quarter of 2006, net
growth in the loan/lease portfolio of $75.9 million warranted a $840 thousand
provision to the allowance for loan/lease losses, which was partially offset by
provision reversals of $111 thousand resulting from upgrades within the
portfolio. During the third quarter of 2005, net growth in the loan portfolio of
$15.6 million warranted a $193 thousand provision to the allowance for loan
losses, while downgrades within the portfolio contributed additional provisions
of $190 thousand. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, there were no
commercial loan charge-offs, and there were commercial recoveries of $2
thousand. Consumer loan charge-offs and recoveries totaled $29 thousand and $17
thousand, respectively, during the quarter. Credit card loans accounted for 53%
of the third quarter consumer gross charge-offs. Residential real estate loans
had $28 thousand of charge-offs and no recoveries for the three months ended
September 30, 2006.
The following table sets forth the various categories of noninterest income for
the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

=====================================
Analysis concerning changes in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2006,
when compared to the third quarter of 2005, is as follows:
o Bancard's credit card fees, net of processing costs decreased $40
thousand for the third quarter of 2006 when compared to the third
quarter of 2005. A reversal during the third quarter of 2005 of $37
thousand from specific allocations within the allowance for local
merchant chargeback losses, along with a $68 thousand recovery of
prior period expense were the primary reasons for the year-to-year
decline.
o Trust department fees increased $111 thousand. This was the result of
the continued development of existing trust relationships and the
addition of new trust customers throughout the past twelve months.
o Deposit service fees increased $91 thousand. This increase was
primarily a result of an increase in service fees collected on the
demand deposit accounts in a unique program at Cedar Rapids Bank &
Trust. The quarterly average balance of the Company's consolidated
demand deposits at September 30, 2006 increased $206.6 million, or
32%, from September 30, 2005. Service charges and NSF (non-sufficient
funds or overdraft) charges related to the Company's demand deposit
accounts were the main components of deposit service fees.
25
o Gains on sales of loans, net, decreased $56 thousand. Loans originated
for sale during the third quarter of 2006 were $20.3 million and
during the third quarter of 2005 were $29.6 million. Proceeds on the
sales of loans during the third quarters of 2006 and 2005 were $22.7
million and $31.2 million, respectively.
o In July 2006, the Company recognized a gain of $71 thousand on the
partial redemption of class B common stock of Mastercard Incorporated
held by Quad City Bank & Trust, as a member bank of Mastercard
International Incorporated. There was a $12 gain in the second quarter
of 2005 on the redemption of trust preferred securities held as
investments by the parent holding company.
o During the second quarter of 2006, a foreclosed asset, determined by
litigation to be property of Quad City Bank & Trust, was sold at
auction for a gain of $750 thousand. During the third quarter, another
creditor claimed partial rights to this gain. In response to this
allegation, the Company reversed $100 thousand of the second quarter
gain and established a reserve to allow for potential payment to this
third party. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company realized a
gain of $41 thousand on the sale of a foreclosed asset at Quad City
Bank & Trust.
o Earnings on the cash surrender value of life insurance decreased $22
thousand. At September 30, 2006, levels of bank-owned life insurance
(BOLI) on key executives at the subsidiary banks was $13.7 million at
Quad City Bank & Trust, $4.2 million at Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust, and
$818 thousand at Rockford Bank & Trust.
o Investment advisory and management fees increased $109 thousand.
Beginning January 1, 2006, the investment representatives at Quad City
Bank & Trust, who had previously been employees of LPL Financial
Services, were brought on as staff of the bank. As a result of this
organizational change, fees are now reported gross rather than net of
representative commissions, as in previous quarters. Essentially all
of the year-to-year increase was due to this change.
o Other noninterest income increased $110 thousand. Other noninterest
income in each quarter consisted primarily of income from affiliated
companies, earnings on other assets, Visa check card fees, and ATM
fees.
The following table sets forth the various categories of noninterest expenses
for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

========================================
Analysis concerning changes in noninterest expenses for the third quarter of
2006, when compared to the third quarter of 2005, is as follows:
26
o Total salaries and benefits, which is the largest component of
noninterest expenses, increased $1.5 million. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in employees from 294 full time
equivalents (FTEs) to 338 from year-to-year, as a result of the
Company's continued expansion. Also, the Company experienced increases
in expense relating to several employee compensation programs, such as
the SERPs, the deferred compensation program and stock-based
compensation programs during 2006, primarily related to a combination
of the application of the provisions of SFAS 123R and a senior
officer's planned retirement in 2009. As the result of a previously
described organizational change at Quad City Bank & Trust, commissions
for investment representatives, previously net from fees, are now
included as a portion of salaries and benefits expense. The Company's
application of the provisions of SFAS 123R is described in detail in
Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
o Professional and data processing fees increased $261 thousand. The
primary contributor to the year-to-year increase was legal fees
incurred and/or accrued at Quad City Bank & Trust related to issues
concerning impaired loans.
o Advertising and marketing expense increased $60 thousand. The increase
was primarily due to investments in television, radio and outdoor
advertising, in combination with increases in donations, special
events and/or sponsorships.
o Occupancy and equipment expense increased $142 thousand. The increase
was a proportionate reflection of the Company's investment in new
facilities at the subsidiary banks, in combination with the related
costs associated with additional furniture, fixtures and equipment,
such as depreciation, maintenance, utilities, and property taxes. The
subsidiary banks opened five new banking locations during 2005.
o Stationary and supplies decreased $4 thousand.
o Postage and telephone increased $19 thousand.
o Bank service charges increased $23 thousand. The primary component of
the year-to-year increase in bank service charges was additional
service charges from the Federal Reserve Bank experienced by Cedar
Rapids Bank & Trust.
o Insurance expense increased $15 thousand.
o Other noninterest expense decreased $269 thousand. The third quarter
of 2006 included the deferral of $268 thousand of initial direct costs
related to lease originations at M2 Lease Funds. M2 Lease Funds was
acquired in the middle of the third quarter of 2005. Also, during the
third quarter of 2006, the subsidiary banks re-allocated $236 thousand
of accrued other noninterest expense into specific accrual categories,
such as legal expense and marketing expense.
The provision for income taxes was $125 thousand for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2006 compared to $420 thousand for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2005 for a decrease of $295 thousand, or 70%. The decrease
was the result of a decrease in income before income taxes of $706 thousand, or
51%, for the 2006 quarter when compared to the 2005 quarter. Primarily due to an
increase in the proportionate share of tax-exempt income to total income from
year to year, the Company experienced a decrease in the effective tax rate from
30.5% for the third quarter of 2005 to 19.4% for the third quarter of 2006.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND 2005
Interest income increased by $14.8 million to $49.5 million for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006 when compared to $34.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005. The increase of 42% in interest income was
attributable to greater average, outstanding balances in interest earning
assets, principally with respect to loans/leases receivable, in combination with
an improved aggregate asset yield. The Company's average yield on interest
earning assets was 6.46%, an increase of 85 basis points for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 when compared to the same period in 2005.
27
Interest expense increased by $12.8 million from $14.6 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, to $27.4 million for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2006. The 88% increase in interest expense was
primarily due to aggregate increased interest rates, principally with respect to
customers' interest-bearing demand deposits and time deposits in the subsidiary
banks. The Company's average cost of interest bearing liabilities was 3.91% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, which was an increase of 128 basis
points when compared to the first nine months of 2005.
At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had an allowance for
estimated losses on loans/leases of 1.11% and 1.17% of gross loans/leases
receivable, respectively. The provision for loan/lease losses increased by $1.1
million from $537 thousand for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 to
$1.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006. Management
determined the appropriate monthly provision for loan/lease losses based upon a
number of factors, including the increase in loans/leases and a detailed
analysis of the loan/lease portfolio. During the first nine months of 2006, net
growth in the loan/lease portfolio of $186.7 million warranted a $2.1 million
provision to the allowance for loan/lease losses, which was partially offset by
net provision reversals of $442 thousand resulting from upgrades and downgrades
within the portfolio. During the first nine months of 2005, net growth in the
loan portfolio of $41.5 million warranted a $515 thousand provision to the
allowance for loan losses. The net effect during the period, of provision
reversals attributed to upgrades within the portfolio, and additional provisions
resulting from downgrades within the portfolio, contributed an additional $21
thousand to the allowance. In both periods, the successful resolution of some
significant credits in the loan portfolio, through payoff, credit upgrade,
refinancing, or the acquisition of additional collateral or guarantees, resulted
in reductions to both the growth-based provision expense and the expected level
of allowance for loan losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
there were commercial loan charge-offs of $63 thousand, and there were
commercial recoveries of $110 thousand. Consumer loan charge-offs and recoveries
totaled $165 thousand and $38 thousand, respectively, during the period. Credit
card loans accounted for 53% of the period's consumer gross charge-offs.
Residential real estate loans had $45 thousand of charge-offs with $52 thousand
of recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
The following table sets forth the various categories of noninterest income for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

======================================
Analysis concerning changes in noninterest income for the first nine months of
2006, when compared to the comparable period in 2005, is as follows:
o Bancard's credit card fees, net of processing costs, improved $145
thousand. The increase in local and agent bank merchant processing
volumes and the subsequent increase in merchant processing fee income
during 2006 was negated by an increase in merchant chargeback loss
provisions. Increases during 2006 in Bancard's cardholder processing
operation have provided essentially all of the improvement in credit
card fees, net of processing costs.
o Trust department fees increased $179 thousand. This was the result of
the continued development of existing trust relationships and the
addition of new trust customers throughout the past twelve months.
28
o Deposit service fees increased $257 thousand. This increase was
primarily a result of an increase in service fees collected on the
demand deposit accounts in a unique program at Cedar Rapids Bank &
Trust. The nine-month average balance of the Company's consolidated
demand deposits at September 30, 2006 increased $174.0 million from
September 30, 2005. Service charges and NSF (non-sufficient funds or
overdraft) charges related to the Company's demand deposit accounts
were the main components of deposit service fees.
o Gains on sales of loans, net, decreased $168 thousand. Loans
originated for sale during the first nine months of 2006 were $63.8
million and during the comparable period of 2005 were $74.6 million.
Proceeds on the sales of loans during the first three quarters of 2006
and 2005 were $61.9 million and $74.1 million, respectively.
o In March 2006, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $143
thousand on a mortgage-backed mutual fund investment held in Quad City
Bank & Trust's securities portfolio, and in April, incurred an
additional loss of $71 thousand on the subsequent sale of that
security. In July 2006, the losses were partially offset when the
Company recognized a gain of $71 thousand on the partial redemption of
class B common stock of Mastercard Incorporated held by Quad City Bank
& Trust, as a member bank of Mastercard International Incorporated.
o During the second quarter of 2006, a foreclosed asset, determined by
litigation to be property of Quad City Bank & Trust, was sold at
auction for a gain of $750 thousand. During the third quarter, another
creditor claimed partial rights to this gain. In response to this
allegation, the Company reversed $100 thousand of the second quarter
gain and established a reserve to allow for potential payment to this
third party. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company realized a
gain of $41 thousand on the sale of a foreclosed asset at Quad City
Bank & Trust.
o Earnings on the cash surrender value of life insurance increased $72
thousand. At September 30, 2006, levels of bank-owned life insurance
(BOLI) on key executives at the subsidiary banks was $13.7 million at
Quad City Bank & Trust, $4.2 million at Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust, and
$818 thousand at Rockford Bank & Trust.
o Investment advisory and management fees increased $433 thousand.
Beginning January 1, 2006, the investment representatives at Quad City
Bank & Trust, who had previously been employees of LPL Financial
Services, were brought on as staff of the bank. As a result of this
organizational change, fees are now reported gross rather than net of
representative commissions, as in previous quarters. Approximately 70%
of the year-to-year increase was due to this change. The balance of
the increase was due to the increased volume of investment services
provided by representatives of LPL Financial Services at the
subsidiary banks, primarily at Quad City Bank & Trust.
o Other noninterest income increased $291 thousand. During the first
three quarters of 2006, M2 Lease Funds had $88 thousand in gains on
the disposal of leased assets, which contributed to other noninterest
income. M2 Lease Funds was acquired during the third quarter of 2005.
Other noninterest income in each period consisted primarily of income
from affiliated companies, earnings on other assets, Visa check card
fees, and ATM fees.

====================================
Analysis concerning changes in noninterest expenses for the first nine months of
2006, when compared to the first nine months of 2005, is as follows:
o Total salaries and benefits increased $4.0 million. The increase was
primarily due to an increase in employees from 294 full time
equivalents (FTEs) to 338 from year-to-year, as a result of the
Company's continued expansion. Also, the Company experienced increases
in the expense for several employee compensation programs, such as the
SERPs, the deferred compensation program and stock-based compensation
programs during 2006, primarily related to a combination of the
application of the provisions of SFAS 123R and a senior officer's
planned retirement in 2009. As the result of a previously described

investment representatives, previously net from fees, are now included
as a portion of salaries and benefits expense. The Company's
application of the provisions of SFAS 123R is described in detail in
Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
o Professional and data processing fees increased $383 thousand. The
primary contributors to the year-to-year increase were legal,
consulting, and data processing fees incurred at the subsidiary banks.
o Advertising and marketing expense increased $118 thousand. Quad City
Bank & Trust and Rockford Bank & Trust, as the primary contributors,
accounted for 93% of the increase.
o Occupancy and equipment expense increased $668 thousand. The increase
was a proportionate reflection of the Company's investment in new
facilities at the subsidiary banks, in combination with the related
costs associated with additional furniture, fixtures and equipment,
such as depreciation, maintenance, utilities, and property taxes. The
subsidiary banks opened five new banking locations during 2005.
o Stationary and supplies increased $22 thousand.
o Postage and telephone increased $98 thousand.
o Bank service charges increased $44 thousand.
o Insurance expense decreased $5 thousand, as in February 2006 the
Company received several premium reimbursements on canceled insurance
policies.
o During the third quarter of 2005, in conjunction with Cedar Rapids
Bank & Trust's move into their new main office facility, the Company
took a one-time $332 thousand write-off of tenant improvements which
had been made to the GreatAmerica Building, which had initially served
as that subsidiary's main office.
30
o Other noninterest expense decreased $916 thousand. During the first
nine months of 2005, Quad City Bank & Trust incurred $303 thousand of
write-downs on the property value of other real estate owned (OREO)
and $114 thousand of other expense incurred on OREO property. During
the first nine months of 2006, M2 Lease Funds recorded $738 thousand
in deferred initial direct costs of lease originations, which
contributed significantly to the decrease in other noninterest
expense. M2 Lease Funds was acquired during the third quarter of 2005.
Also, during the third quarter of 2006, the subsidiary banks
re-allocated $236 thousand of accrued noninterest expense into
specific accrual categories, such as legal expense and marketing
expense.
The provision for income taxes was $978 thousand for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2006 compared to $1.7 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005 for a decrease of $703 thousand, or 42%. The decrease was the
result of a decrease in income before income taxes of $1.6 million, or 30%, for
the 2006 period when compared to the 2005 period. Primarily due to an increase
in the proportionate share of tax-exempt income to total income from year to
year, the Company experienced a decrease in the effective tax rate from 32.2%
for the first three quarters of 2005 to 27.7% for the comparable period in 2006.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of the Company increased by $198.6 million, or 19%, to $1.24
billion at September 30, 2006 from $1.04 billion at December 31, 2005. The
growth resulted primarily from the net increase in the loan/lease portfolio,
funded by interest-bearing deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Cash and due from banks decreased by $8.0 million, or 21%, to $30.9 million at
September 30, 2006 from $39.0 million at December 31, 2005. 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,
2006, the subsidiary banks had $8.1 million invested in such funds. This amount
increased by $3.6 million, or 82%, from $4.5 million at December 31, 2005. The
increase was primarily a result of an increased demand for Federal funds
purchases by Quad City Bank & Trust's downstream correspondent banks.
Interest bearing deposits at financial institutions increased by $5.2 million,
or 409%, to $6.5 million at September 30, 2006 from $1.3 million at December 31,
2005. 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 $5.3 million and in demand
account balances of $127 thousand, in combination with maturities of
certificates of deposit totaling $235 thousand.
Securities increased by $5.9 million, or 3%, to $188.3 million at September 30,
2006 from $182.4 million at December 31, 2005. The increase was the result of a
number of transactions in the securities portfolio. Paydowns of $549 thousand
were received on mortgage-backed securities, and the amortization of premiums,
net of the accretion of discounts, was $209 thousand. Maturities and calls of
securities occurred in the amount of $39.6 million. These portfolio decreases
were offset by the purchase of an additional $50.9 million of securities,
classified as available for sale and an increase in the fair value of
securities, classified as available for sale, of $418 thousand.
Total gross loans/leases receivable increased by $186.7 million, or 25%, to
$943.0 million at September 30, 2006 from $756.3 million at December 31, 2005.
The increase was the result of originations, renewals, additional disbursements
or purchases of $381.1 million of commercial business, consumer and real estate
loans, less loan charge-offs, net of recoveries, of $73 thousand, and loan
repayments or sales of loans of $194.3 million. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, Quad City Bank & Trust contributed $184.4 million, or 48%,
Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust contributed $94.8 million, or 25%, and Rockford Bank &
Trust contributed $77.2 million, or 20%, of the Company's loan originations,
renewals, additional disbursements or purchases. M2 Lease Funds contributed
$24.6 million in lease originations during the first nine months of 2006. The
mix of loan/lease types within the Company's loan/lease portfolio at September
30, 2006 reflected 83% commercial, 9% real estate and 8% 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.
31
The allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases was $10.4 million at
September 30, 2006 compared to $8.9 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of
$1.5 million, or 17%. The allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases 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 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/leases and a detailed analysis of the loan/lease
portfolio. The loan/lease portfolio was reviewed and analyzed monthly utilizing
the percentage allocation method. In addition, specific reviews were completed
each month on all loans risk-rated as "criticized" credits. The adequacy of the
allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases 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/leases at September 30, 2006 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 for loan/lease losses in the future. Unpredictable future
events could 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/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 with the intention to improve the overall quality of the
Company's loan/lease portfolio.
Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30 were $73 thousand in 2006
and $1.3 million in 2005. One measure of the adequacy of the allowance for
estimated losses on loans/leases is the ratio of the allowance to the gross
loan/lease portfolio. The allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases as a
percentage of gross loans/leases was 1.11% at September 30, 2006, 1.17% at
December 31, 2005 and 1.25% at September 30, 2005.
At September 30, 2006, total nonperforming assets were $8.4 million compared to
$3.7 million at December 31, 2005. The $4.7 million increase was the result of a
$5.3 million increase in nonaccrual loans, and decreases of $239 thousand in
other real estate owned and $374 thousand in accruing loans past due 90 days or
more.
Nonaccrual loans were $7.8 million at September 30, 2006, and $2.6 million at
December 31, 2005. The $5.3 million increase in nonaccrual loans was comprised
of increases in both commercial loans of $5.2 million and in consumer loans of
$82 thousand and decreases in real estate loans of $23 thousand. Nine
significant commercial lending relationships at the subsidiary banks, with an
aggregate outstanding balance of $7.0 million, comprised 89% of the nonaccrual
loans at September 30, 2006 with one relationship accounting for $4.2 million.
The existence of either a strong collateral position, a governmental guarantee,
or an improved payment status on several of the nonperformers significantly
reduces the Company's exposure to loss. The subsidiary banks continue to work
toward resolutions with all of these customers. Nonaccrual loans represented
less than one percent of the Company's held for investment loan/lease portfolio
at September 30, 2006.
From December 31, 2005 to September 30, 2006, accruing loans past due 90 days or
more decreased from $604 thousand to $230 thousand. Credit card loans comprised
$50 thousand, or 22%, of this balance at September 30, 2006.
Premises and equipment increased by $2.2 million, or 8%, to $27.8 million at
September 30, 2006 from $25.6 million at December 31, 2005. During the first
nine months there were purchases of additional land, furniture, fixtures and
equipment and leasehold improvements of $3.9 million, which were partially
offset by depreciation expense of $1.7 million. In the third quarter of 2005,
Rockford Bank & Trust moved forward with plans for a second banking location on
Guilford Road at Alpine Road in Rockford. A temporary modular facility opened in
December 2005. The Company is constructing a 20,000 square foot building at a
projected cost of $4.4 million, which is nearing completion and is scheduled to
open in November 2006. During 2005, capitalized costs associated with this
project were $1.5 million. During the first nine months of 2006, $2.9 million of
costs were incurred on this project.
On August 26, 2005, Quad City Bank & Trust acquired 80% of the membership units
of M2 Lease Funds. The purchase price of $5.0 million resulted in $3.2 million
in goodwill.
Accrued interest receivable on loans, securities and interest-bearing deposits
with financial institutions increased by $1.9 million, or 39%, to $6.7 million
at September 30, 2006 from $4.8 million at December 31, 2005. The increase was a
reflection of both increased volumes of and rates on interest-earning assets
from year-to-year.
32
Bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") increased by $1.3 million from $17.4 million
at December 31, 2005 to $18.7 million at September 30, 2006. Banks may generally
buy BOLI as a financing or cost recovery vehicle for pre-and post-retirement
employee benefits. During 2004, the subsidiary banks purchased $8.0 million of
BOLI to finance the expenses associated with the establishment of SERPs for the
executive officers. Additionally in 2004, the subsidiary banks purchased BOLI
totaling $4.2 million on the lives of a number of senior management personnel
for the purpose of funding the expenses of new deferred compensation
arrangements for senior officers. During 2005, Rockford Bank & Trust purchased
$777 thousand of BOLI. These purchases combined with existing BOLI, resulted in
each subsidiary bank holding investments in BOLI policies near the regulatory
maximum of 25% of capital. As the owners and beneficiaries of these holdings,
the banks monitor the associated risks, including diversification,
lending-limit, concentration, interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity.
Quarterly financial information on the insurance carriers is provided to the
Company by its compensation consulting firm. Benefit expense associated with
both the SERPs and deferred compensation arrangements was $401 thousand and $207
thousand, respectively, for the first nine months of 2006. Earnings on BOLI, for
the first nine months of 2006, totaled $565 thousand. Benefit expense associated
with the SERPs and deferred compensation arrangements was $132 thousand and $125
thousand, respectively, for the first nine months of 2005. Earnings on BOLI, for
the first nine months of 2005, totaled $493 thousand.
Other assets increased by $1.4 million, or 8%, to $18.5 million at September 30,
2006 from $17.1 million at December 31, 2005. Other assets included $9.8 million
of equity in Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock, $3.1 million
of deferred tax assets, $306 thousand in net other real estate owned (OREO),
$1.8 million in investments in unconsolidated companies, $655 thousand of
accrued trust department fees, $391 thousand of unamortized prepaid trust
preferred securities offering expenses, $537 thousand of prepaid Visa/Mastercard
processing charges, other miscellaneous receivables, and various prepaid
expenses.
Deposits increased by $174.8 million, or 25%, to $873.3 million at September 30,
2006 from $698.5 million at December 31, 2005. The increase resulted from a
$54.9 million aggregate net increase in money market, savings, and total
transaction accounts, in combination with a $119.9 million net increase in
interest-bearing certificates of deposit. The subsidiary banks experienced a net
increase in brokered certificates of deposit of $37.4 million during the first
nine months of 2006.
Short-term borrowings decreased $11.1 million, or 10%, from $107.5 million at
December 31, 2005 to $96.4 million at September 30, 2006. 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 their correspondent banks.
Short-term borrowings were comprised of customer repurchase agreements of $63.6
million and $54.7 million at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively, as well as federal funds purchased of $32.8 million at September
30, 2006 and $52.8 million at December 31, 2005.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased by $15.8 million, or 12%, to $145.8
million at September 30, 2006 from $130.0 million at December 31, 2005. 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. 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 $4.5 million, or 41%, from $10.8 million at December
31, 2005 to $15.3 million at September 30, 2006. In February 2006, with proceeds
from the issuance of the trust preferred securities of Trust V, the Company made
a payment to reduce the balance on a line of credit at an upstream correspondent
bank by $10.0 million. In March 2006, the Company drew an advance of $8.5
million, primarily to provide $3.0 million of additional capital to Quad City
Bank & Trust and $4.5 million of additional capital to Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust
for capital maintenance purposes at each of these subsidiaries. During the third
quarter of 2006, the Company drew additional advances totaling $6.0 million,
primarily to provide $3.2 million of additional capital to Quad City Bank &
Trust and $1.5 million of additional capital to Rockford Bank & Trust for
capital maintenance purposes at each of these subsidiaries.
Junior subordinated debentures increased $10.3 million, or 40%, to $36.1 million
at September 30, 2006 from $25.8 million at December 31, 2005. On February 4,
2006, the Company announced the issuance of $10.0 million of fixed/floating rate
capital securities of QCR Holdings Statutory Trust V. Trust V used the $10.0
million of proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities, in
combination with $310 thousand of proceeds from its equity, to purchase $10.3
million of junior subordinated debentures of the Company.
33
Other liabilities were $15.9 million at September 30, 2006, up $960 thousand, or
6%, from $15.0 million at December 31, 2005. Other liabilities were comprised of
unpaid amounts for various products and services, and accrued but unpaid
interest on deposits. At September 30, 2006, the most significant components of
other liabilities were $4.2 million of accrued expenses, $3.7 million of
accounts payable for leases, $2.5 million of miscellaneous accounts payable, and
$4.2 million of interest payable.
Common stock, at September 30, 2006 was $4.6 million and at December 31, 2005
was $4.5 million. The increase of $23 thousand was the result of stock issued
from the net exercise of stock options and stock purchased under the employee
stock purchase plan. The Company intends to conduct a private placement offering
of common stock during the fourth quarter of 2006, as partial funding of its
acquisition of a Wisconsin-chartered bank.
Additional paid-in capital totaled $21.3 million at September 30, 2006, up $482
thousand, or 2%, from $20.8 million at December 31, 2005. The increase resulted
from the proceeds received in excess of the $1.00 per share par value for the
22,830 shares of common stock issued as the result of the net exercise of stock
options and stock purchased under the employee stock purchase plan, in
combination with the recognition of stock-based compensation expense due to the
application of the provisions of SFAS 123R.
On October 31, 2006, the Company closed a private placement offering for the
sale of up to $15.0 million of its Series B Non-cumulative Perpetual Preferred
Stock ("the Shares"). The Company offered 300 of the Shares at $50 thousand per
share with a stated rate of 8.00%. The Shares will accrue no dividends.
Dividends will be payable only if declared. Pursuant to the offering, the
Company sold 191 of the Shares for an aggregate price of $9.6 million. Net
proceeds of $9.2 million from the offering, after payment of fees and expenses,
were available for general corporate purposes, including the paydown of the
Company's other borrowings. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company
intends to conduct a subsequent private placement offering, which should issue
the remaining 109 shares.
Retained earnings increased by $2.4 million, or 8%, to $32.1 million at
September 30, 2006 from $29.7 million at December 31, 2005. The increase
reflected net income for the nine-month period net of $182 thousand representing
the four-cent per share dividend, which was declared in April and paid in July
2006.
Unrealized losses on securities available for sale, net of related income taxes,
totaled $284 thousand at September 30, 2006 as compared to unrealized losses of
$567 thousand at December 31, 2005. The increase of $283 thousand was
attributable to increases during the period in fair value of the securities
identified as available for sale, primarily due to the flattening of the
interest rate yield curve.
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 $891 thousand for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 compared to $2.3 million net cash provided by operating
activities, consisting primarily of proceeds on the sales of loans, for the same
period in 2005. Net cash used in investing activities, consisting principally of
loan originations to be held for investment, was $203.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 and $80.2 million, consisting primarily of
purchases of available for sale securities, for the nine months ended June 30,
2005. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of
increased deposit accounts at the subsidiary banks, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 was $194.3 million, and for the same period in 2005 was $83.0
million, consisting principally of increased deposit accounts at the subsidiary
banks.
34
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, 2006, the subsidiary banks had fourteen lines of credit
totaling $104.5 million, of which $13.0 million was secured and $91.5 million
was unsecured. At September 30, 2006, Quad City Bank & Trust had drawn none of
their available balance of $83.0 million, and Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust had
drawn none of their available balance of $21.5 million. At December 31, 2005,
the subsidiary banks had fourteen lines of credit totaling $104.5 million, of
which $13.0 million was secured and $91.5 million was unsecured. At December 31,
2005, Quad City Bank & Trust had drawn $19.5 million of their available balance
of $83.0 million, and Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust had drawn none of their
available balance of $21.5 million. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had two
unsecured revolving credit notes totaling $15.0 million in aggregate. The
Company had a 364-day revolving note, which matures December 21, 2006, for $10.0
million and had a balance outstanding of $5.5 million at December 31, 2005. The
Company also had a 3-year revolving note, which matures December 30, 2007, for
$5.0 million and carried a balance of $5.0 million at December 31, 2005. On
January 3, 2005, the 3-year note was fully drawn as partial funding for the
capitalization of Rockford Bank & Trust. In February 2006, proceeds from the
issuance of the securities of Trust V were utilized to fully pay down this note.
In April 2006, the company combined the two notes into a single 364-day
revolving credit note for $15.0 million. At September 30, 2006, this note
carried a balance outstanding of $15.0 million. For all of the notes, interest
is payable monthly at the Federal Funds rate plus 1% per annum, as defined in
the credit agreements. As of September 30, 2006, the interest rate on the
364-day note was 6.30%. At December 31, 2005, the interest rate on both notes
was 5.19%.
On February 24, 2006, the Company announced the issuance of $10.0 million of
fixed/floating rate capital securities of QCR Holdings Statutory Trust V. The
securities represent the undivided beneficial interest in Trust V, which was
established by the Company for the sole purpose of issuing the Trust Preferred
Securities. The securities issued by Trust V mature in thirty years, but are
callable at par after five years. The Trust Preferred Securities have a fixed
rate of 6.22%, payable quarterly, for five years, at which time they have a
variable rate based on the three-month LIBOR plus 1.55%, reset and payable
quarterly. Trust V used the $10.0 million of proceeds from the sale of the Trust
Preferred Securities, in combination with $310 thousand of proceeds from its own
equity to purchase $10.3 million of junior subordinated debentures of the
Company. The Company incurred no issuance costs as a result of the transaction.
The Company used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the
paydown of its other borrowings. The Company will treat these new issuances as
Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes, subject to current established
limitations.
On April 27, 2006, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.04 per share, or
$182 thousand, which was paid on July 7, 2006, to stockholders of record on June
23, 2006. On April 28, 2005, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.04 per
share, or $180 thousand, which was paid on July 6, 2005, to stockholders of
record on June 15, 2005. On October 27, 2005, the Company declared a cash
dividend of $0.04 per share, or $181 thousand, which was paid on January 6,
2006, to stockholders of record on December 23, 2005. 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 it believes that
operating results have reached a level that can sustain dividends to
stockholders as well.

35
Part I
Item 3
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to direct and
indirect market risk. Direct market risk exists from changes in interest rates.
The Company's net income is dependent on its net interest income. Net interest
income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing
liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets.
When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than
interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market
rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Similarly, when
interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing
liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net income.
In an attempt to manage its 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. 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 the most
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 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 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 over a one
year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth and a 200 basis point upward and
a 200 basis point downward shift in interest rates, where interest-bearing
assets and liabilities reprice at their earliest possible repricing date. The
model assumes a parallel and pro rata shift in interest rates over a
twelve-month period. Application of the simulation model analysis at June 30,
2006 demonstrated a 5.1% decrease in net interest income with a 200 basis point
increase in interest rates, and a 3.0% increase in net interest income with a
200 basis point decrease in interest rates. Both simulations are within the
board-established policy limits of a 10% decline in value.
Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the Company.
For that reason, the Company engages the assistance of a national consulting
firm and their 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.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As required by Rules 13a-15(b)
and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management has
evaluated, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this
evaluation, management concluded the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))
were effective as of September 30, 2006 to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the
Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms
and were effective as of September 30, 2006. These disclosure controls and
procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management,
including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or
persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
there have been no significant changes to the Company's internal control over
financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
