NOTE 2 – COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustments to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued relate solely to outstanding shares in the Directors Plan.

 

Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:

 

     Three Months Ended

     2012      2011      2012      2011

NOTE 3 – RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES

 

ASU No. 2011-03: “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements”

In April 2011, ASU No. 2011-03 amended ASC Topic 310, “Transfers and Servicing” to eliminate from the assessment of effective control, the criteria calling for the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed upon terms, even in the event of the transferee’s default. The assessment of effective control should instead focus on the transferor’s contractual rights and obligations. The new authoritative guidance was effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU No. 2011-04: “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”

In May 2011, ASU No. 2011-04 amended ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement” to align fair value measurements and disclosures in GAAP and IFRS. The ASU changes the wording used to describe the requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and disclosures about fair value.

The ASU clarifies the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements related to:

 

   

The application of highest and best use and valuation premise concepts.

 

   

Measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s stockholders’ equity.

 

   

Disclosure about fair value measurements within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The ASU also changes particular principles or requirements for measuring fair value and disclosing information measuring fair value and disclosures related to:

 

   

Measuring the fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio.

 

   

Application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement.

Table of Contents

The new authoritative guidance was effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and did not have a financial impact but increased the level of disclosures related to fair value measurements in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements in 2012.

 

ASU No. 2011-05: “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”

In June 2011, ASU No. 2011-05 amended ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income” to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. In addition, to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income, and to facilitate the convergence of GAAP and IFRS, the FASB eliminated the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.

The new authoritative guidance was effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements as we have historically elected to present a separate statement of comprehensive income.

NOTE 4 – TRADING SECURITIES

As auction rate money market preferred and preferred stocks have continual call dates, they are not reported by a specific maturity group. Because of their variable monthly payments, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are not reported by a specific maturity group.

 

A summary of the activity related to sales of AFS securities was as follows for the six month period ended June 30, 2012:

 

Proceeds from sales of securities

   $ 24,241   
  

 

 

 

Gross realized gains

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we conducted an analysis to determine whether any securities currently in an unrealized loss position should be other-than-temporarily impaired. Such analyses considered, among other factors, the following criteria:

 

   

Has the value of the investment declined more than what is deemed to be reasonable based on a risk and maturity adjusted discount rate?

 

   

Is the issuer’s investment credit rating below investment grade?

 

   

Is it probable that the issuer will be unable to pay the amount when due?

 

13


Table of Contents
   

Is it more likely than not that we will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis?

 

   

Has the duration of the investment been extended?

As of June 30, 2012, we held an auction rate money market preferred security and preferred stocks which continued to be in an unrealized loss position as a result of the securities’ interest rates, as they are currently lower than the offering rates of securities with similar characteristics. We determined that any declines in the fair value of these securities are the result of changes in interest rates and not risks related to the underlying credit quality of the security. Additionally, none of the issuers of these securities are deemed to be below investment grade, we do not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position, and it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2012, we had one state issued student loan auction rate AFS investment security (which is included in states and political subdivisions) that was downgraded by Moody’s from A3 to Caa3. As a result of this downgrade, we engaged the services of an independent investment valuation firm to estimate the amount of credit losses (if any) related to this particular issue as of March 31, 2012. The evaluation calculated a range of estimated credit losses utilizing two different bifurcation methods: 1) Estimated Cash Flow Method and 2) Credit Yield Analysis Method. The two methods were then weighted, with a higher weighting applied to the Estimated Cash Flow Method, to determine the estimated credit related impairment. As a result of this analysis we, recognized an OTTI of $282 in the first quarter of 2012.

 

A summary of key valuation assumptions used in the aforementioned analysis as of March 31, 2012, follows:

To test for additional impairment of this security during the three months ended June 30, 2012, we obtained another investment valuation (from the same firm engaged to perform the March 31, 2012 valuation) as of June 30, 2012. Based on the results of this valuation, no additional OTTI was observed as of June 30, 2012.

A rollforward of credit related impairment recognized in earnings on available-for-sale securities in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was as follows:

Table of Contents

There were no credit losses recognized in on available-for-sale securities during 2011.

Based on our analysis using the above criteria, the fact that we have asserted that we do not have the intent to sell these securities in an unrealized loss position, and that it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis, we do not believe that the values of any other securities are other-than-temporarily impaired as of as of June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

NOTE 6 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

We grant commercial, agricultural, residential real estate, and consumer loans to customers situated primarily in Clare, Gratiot, Isabella, Mecosta, Midland, Montcalm, and Saginaw counties in Michigan. The ability of the borrowers to honor their repayment obligations is often dependent upon the real estate, agricultural, light manufacturing, retail, gaming and tourism, higher education, and general economic conditions of this region. Substantially all of the consumer and residential real estate loans are secured by various items of property, while commercial loans are secured primarily by real estate, business assets, and personal guarantees; a portion of loans are unsecured.

Loans that we have the intent and ability to hold in our portfolio are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs, the ALLL, and any deferred fees or costs. Interest income on loans is accrued over the term of the loan based on the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are capitalized and recognized as a component of interest income over the term of the loan using the level yield method.

The accrual of interest on commercial, agricultural, and residential real estate loans is typically discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days or more past due unless the credit is well-secured and in the process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

For loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or charged off, all interest accrued in the current calendar year, but not collected, is reversed against interest income while interest accrued in prior calendar years, but not collected, is charged against the allowance for loan losses. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are typically returned to accrual status after six months of continuous performance. For impaired loans not classified as nonaccrual, interest income continues to be accrued over the term of the loan based on the principal amount outstanding.

Commercial and agricultural loans include loans for commercial real estate, commercial operating loans, farmland and agricultural production, and state and political subdivisions. Repayment of these loans is often dependent upon the successful operation and management of a business; thus, these loans generally involve greater risk than other types of lending. We minimize our risk by limiting the amount of loans to any one borrower to $12,500. Borrowers with credit needs of more than $12,500 are serviced through the use of loan participations with other commercial banks. Commercial and agricultural real estate loans generally require loan-to-value limits of less than 80%. Depending upon the type of loan, past credit history, and current operating results, we may require the borrower to pledge accounts receivable, inventory, and property and equipment. Personal guarantees are generally required from the owners of closely held corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietorships. In addition, we require annual financial statements, prepare cash flow analyses, and review credit reports as deemed necessary.

We offer adjustable rate mortgages, fixed rate balloon mortgages, construction loans, and fixed rate mortgage loans which typically have amortization periods up to a maximum of 30 years. Fixed rate loans with an amortization of greater than 15 years are generally sold upon origination to Freddie Mac. Fixed rate residential real estate loans with an amortization of 15 years or less may be held in our portfolio, held for future sale, or sold upon origination. We consider the direction of interest rates, the sensitivity of our balance sheet to changes in interest rates, and overall loan demand to determine whether or not to sell loans to Freddie Mac.

Table of Contents

Our lending policies generally limit the maximum loan-to-value ratio on residential real estate loans to 95% of the lower of the appraised value of the property or the purchase price, with the condition that private mortgage insurance is required on loans with loan to value ratios in excess of 80%. Substantially all loans upon origination have a loan to value ratio of less than 80%. Underwriting criteria for residential real estate loans include: evaluation of the borrower’s ability to make monthly payments, the value of the property securing the loan, ensuring the payment of principal, interest, taxes, and hazard insurance does not exceed 28% of a borrower’s gross income, all debt servicing does not exceed 36% of income, acceptable credit reports, verification of employment, income, and financial information. Appraisals are performed by independent appraisers and reviewed internally. All mortgage loan requests are reviewed by our mortgage loan committee or through a secondary market automated underwriting system; loans in excess of $400 require the approval of our Internal Loan Committee, the Board of Directors’ Loan Committee, or the Board of Directors.

Consumer loans include automobile loans, secured and unsecured personal loans, and overdraft protection related loans. Loans are amortized generally for a period of up to 6 years. The underwriting emphasis is on a borrower’s perceived intent and ability to pay rather than collateral value. No consumer loans are sold to the secondary market.

The ALLL is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the ALLL when we believe the uncollectibility of the loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALLL.

The ALLL is evaluated on a regular basis and is based upon a periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The primary factors behind the determination of the level of the ALLL are specific allocations for impaired loans, historical loss percentages, as well as unallocated components. Specific allocations for impaired loans are primarily determined based on the difference between the net realizable value of the loan’s underlying collateral or the net present value of the projected payment stream and our recorded investment. Historical loss allocations were calculated at the loan class and segment levels based on a migration analysis of the loan portfolio over the preceding four years. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that we believe affect our estimate of probable losses based on qualitative factors. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

 

A summary of changes in the ALLL and the recorded investment in loans by segments follows:

Internally assigned risk ratings are reviewed, at a minimum, when loans are renewed or when management has knowledge of improvements or deterioration of the credit quality of individual credits. Descriptions of the internally assigned risk ratings for commercial and agricultural loans are as follows:

 

1. EXCELLENT – Substantially Risk Free

Credit has strong financial condition and solid earnings history, characterized by:

 

   

High liquidity, strong cash flow, low leverage.

 

   

Unquestioned ability to meet all obligations when due.

 

   

Experienced management, with management succession in place.

 

   

Secured by cash.

 

2. HIGH QUALITY – Limited Risk

Credit with sound financial condition and has a positive trend in earnings supplemented by:

 

   

Favorable liquidity and leverage ratios.

 

   

Ability to meet all obligations when due.

 

   

Management with successful track record.

 

   

Steady and satisfactory earnings history.

 

   

If loan is secured, collateral is of high quality and readily marketable.

 

   

Access to alternative financing.

 

   

Well defined primary and secondary source of repayment.

 

   

If supported by guaranty, the financial strength and liquidity of the guarantor(s) are clearly evident.

 

3. HIGH SATISFACTORY – Reasonable Risk

Credit with satisfactory financial condition and further characterized by:

 

   

Working capital adequate to support operations.

 

   

Cash flow sufficient to pay debts as scheduled.

 

   

Management experience and depth appear favorable.

 

   

Loan performing according to terms.

 

   

If loan is secured, collateral is acceptable and loan is fully protected.

 

4. LOW SATISFACTORY – Acceptable Risk

Credit with bankable risks, although some signs of weaknesses are shown:

 

   

Would include most start-up businesses.

 

19


Table of Contents
   

Occasional instances of trade slowness or repayment delinquency – may have been 10-30 days slow within the past year.

 

   

Management’s abilities are apparent, yet unproven.

 

   

Weakness in primary source of repayment with adequate secondary source of repayment.

 

   

Loan structure generally in accordance with policy.

 

   

If secured, loan collateral coverage is marginal.

 

   

Adequate cash flow to service debt, but coverage is low.

To be classified as less than satisfactory, only one of the following criteria must be met.

 

5. SPECIAL MENTION – Criticized

Credit constitutes an undue and unwarranted credit risk but not to the point of justifying a classification of substandard. The credit risk may be relatively minor yet constitute an unwarranted risk in light of the circumstances surrounding a specific loan:

 

   

Downward trend in sales, profit levels, and margins.

 

   

Impaired working capital position.

 

   

Cash flow is strained in order to meet debt repayment.

 

   

Loan delinquency (30-60 days) and overdrafts may occur.

 

   

Shrinking equity cushion.

 

   

Diminishing primary source of repayment and questionable secondary source.

 

   

Management abilities are questionable.

 

   

Weak industry conditions.

 

   

Litigation pending against the borrower.

 

   

Collateral or guaranty offers limited protection.

 

   

Negative debt service coverage, however the credit is well collateralized and payments are current.

 

6. SUBSTANDARD – Classified

Credit where the borrower’s current net worth, paying capacity, and value of the collateral pledged is inadequate. There is a distinct possibility that the we will implement collection procedures if the loan deficiencies are not corrected. In addition, the following characteristics may apply:

 

   

Sustained losses have severely eroded the equity and cash flow.

 

   

Deteriorating liquidity.

 

   

Serious management problems or internal fraud.

 

   

Original repayment terms liberalized.

 

   

Likelihood of bankruptcy.

 

   

Inability to access other funding sources.

 

   

Reliance on secondary source of repayment.

 

   

Litigation filed against borrower.

 

   

Collateral provides little or no value.

 

   

Requires excessive attention of the loan officer.

 

   

Borrower is uncooperative with loan officer.

 

20


Table of Contents
7. VULNERABLE – Classified

Credit is considered “Substandard” and warrants placing on nonaccrual. Risk of loss is being evaluated and exit strategy options are under review. Other characteristics that may apply:

 

   

Insufficient cash flow to service debt.

 

   

Minimal or no payments being received.

 

   

Limited options available to avoid the collection process.

 

   

Transition status, expect action will take place to collect loan without immediate progress being made.

 

8. DOUBTFUL – Workout

Credit has all the weaknesses inherent in a “Substandard” loan with the added characteristic that collection and/or liquidation is pending. The possibility of a loss is extremely high, but its classification as a loss is deferred until liquidation procedures are completed, or reasonably estimable. Other characteristics that may apply:

 

   

Normal operations are severely diminished or have ceased.

 

   

Seriously impaired cash flow.

 

   

Original repayment terms materially altered.

 

   

Secondary source of repayment is inadequate.

 

   

Survivability as a “going concern” is impossible.

 

   

Collection process has begun.

 

   

Bankruptcy petition has been filed.

 

   

Judgments have been filed.

 

   

Portion of the loan balance has been charged-off.

 

9. LOSS – Charge off

Credits are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification is for charged off loans but does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value. These loans are further characterized by:

 

   

Liquidation or reorganization under bankruptcy, with poor prospects of collection.

 

   

Fraudulently overstated assets and/or earnings.

 

   

Collateral has marginal or no value.

 

   

Debtor cannot be located.

 

   

Over 120 days delinquent.

Impaired Loans

Loans may be classified as impaired if they meet one or more of the following criteria:

 

  1. There has been a chargeoff of its principal balance (in whole or in part);

 

  2. The loan has been classified as a Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR); or

 

  3. The loan is in nonaccrual status.

Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial, commercial real estate, agricultural, or agricultural real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, less cost to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.

Interest income is recognized on impaired loans in nonaccrual status on the cash basis, but only after all principal has been collected. For impaired loans not in nonaccrual status, interest income is recognized daily as earned according to the terms of the loan agreement.

Table of Contents

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Loan modifications are considered to be TDR’s when a concession has been granted to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties.

Typical concessions granted include, but are not limited to:

 

  1. Agreeing to interest rates below prevailing market rates for debt with similar risk characteristics.

 

  2. Extending the amortization period beyond typical lending guidelines for debt with similar risk characteristics.

 

  3. Forbearance of principal.

 

  4. Forbearance of accrued interest.

To determine if a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, we consider if:

 

  1. The borrower is currently in default on any of their debt.

 

  2. It is likely that the borrower would default on any of their debt if the concession was not granted.

 

  3. The borrower’s cash flow was sufficient to service all of their debt if the concession was not granted.

 

  4. The borrower has declared, or is in the process of declaring, bankruptcy.

 

  5. The borrower is unlikely to continue as a going concern (if the entity is a business).

We did not restructure any loans through the forbearance of principal or accrued interest in the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2012.

Based on our historical loss experience, losses associated with TDR’s are not significantly different than other impaired loans within the same loan segment. As such, TDR’s, including TDR’s that have been modified in the past 12 months that subsequently defaulted, are analyzed in the same manner as other impaired loans within their respective loan segment.

 

Following is a summary of loans that defaulted in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, which were modified within 12 months prior to the default date:

The FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket lien on all qualified 1-4 family residential real estate loans and certain mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. Advances are also secured by our holdings of FHLB stock. We had the ability to borrow up to an additional $100,781 based on assets currently pledged as collateral as of June 30, 2012. During the first quarter of 2012, we reduced funding costs by modifying the terms of $60,000 of FHLB advances.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are classified as secured borrowings. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase without stated maturity dates generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The securities underlying the agreements have a carrying value and a fair value of $120,878 and $99,869 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Such securities remain under our control. We may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of underlying securities.

NOTE 11 – DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN

We maintain a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, which was curtailed effective March 1, 2007. As a result of the curtailment, future salary increases are no longer considered and plan benefits are based on years of service and the employees’ five highest consecutive years of compensation out of the last ten years of service through March 1, 2007. We contributed $709 to the pension plan during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 and made no contributions to the plan in the six month period ended June 30, 2011. We do not anticipate any additional contributions to the plan over the remainder of 2012.

NOTE 12 – FAIR VALUE

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies, key inputs, and an indication of the level of the fair value hierarchy in which the assets or liabilities are classified.

Cash and demand deposits due from banks: The carrying amounts of cash and short term investments, including Federal funds sold, approximate fair values. As such, we classify cash and demand deposits due from banks as Level 1.

Certificates of deposit held in other financial institutions: Interest bearing balances held in unaffiliated financial institutions include certificates of deposit and other short term interest bearing balances that mature within 3 years. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics. As such, we classify certificates of deposits held in other financial institutions as Level 2.

Investment securities: Investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Level 1 fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments. Level 2 fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss and liquidity assumptions. The values for Level 1 and Level 2 investment securities are generally obtained from an independent third party. On a quarterly basis, we compare the values provided to alternative pricing sources.

Due to the limited trading activity of certain auction rate money market preferred securities and preferred stocks we measured these securities using Level 3 inputs as of June 30, 2011. As the markets for these securities normalized and established regular trading patterns, we measured preferred stocks utilizing Level 1 inputs and an auction rate money market preferred security utilizing Level 2 inputs as of December 31, 2011 and continued to measure at these levels as of June 30, 2012.

We had no financial instruments measured with Level 3 inputs on a recurring basis during 2012.

Mortgage loans available-for-sale: Mortgage loans available-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of mortgage loans available-for-sale are based on what price secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, we classify loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 2.

Loans: For variable rate loans with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The resulting amounts are adjusted to estimate the effect of changes in the credit quality of borrowers since the loans were originated.

We do not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, loans are classified as impaired and a specific allowance for loan losses may be established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will be significantly different than the contractual terms of the original loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as impaired, we measure the estimated impairment. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value, or discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans.

We review the net realizable values of the underlying collateral for collateral dependent impaired loans on at least a quarterly basis for all loan types. To determine the collateral value, management utilizes independent appraisals, broker price opinions, or internal evaluations. These valuations are reviewed to determine whether an additional discount should be applied given the age of market information that may have been considered as well as other factors such as costs to carry and sell an asset if it is determined that the collateral will be liquidated in connection with the ultimate settlement of the loan. We use these valuations to determine if any charge offs or specific reserves are necessary. We may obtain new valuations in certain circumstances, including when there has been significant deterioration in the condition of the collateral, if the foreclosure process has begun, or if the existing valuation is deemed to be outdated.

Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the net realizable value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraisal value, we record the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When a current appraised value is not available or we determine the fair value of collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, the impaired loan is classified as nonrecurring Level 3.

      Estimated liquidation costs      10%   

Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value. As such, we classify accrued interest as Level 1.

Goodwill and other intangible assets: Acquisition intangibles and goodwill are evaluated for potential impairment on at least an annual basis. Goodwill is typically qualitatively evaluated to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying balance is impaired. If it is determined that the carrying balance of goodwill is more likely than not to be impaired, we perform a cash flow valuation to determine the extent of the potential impairment. Acquisition intangibles are tested for impairment with a cash flow valuation. This valuation method requires a significant degree of judgment. In the event the projected undiscounted net operating cash flows for these intangible assets are less than the carrying value, the asset is recorded at fair value as determined by the valuation model. If the testing resulted in impairment, we would classify goodwill and other acquisition intangibles subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3. During 2012 and 2011 there were no impairments recorded on goodwill and other acquisition intangibles.

Equity securities without readily determinable fair values: We have investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values as well as investments in joint ventures. The assets are individually reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if an indication of impairment exists, by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value. The lack of an independent source to validate fair value estimates, including the impact of future capital calls and transfer restrictions, is an inherent limitation in the valuation process. We classify nonmarketable equity securities and investments in joint ventures subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3. During 2012 and 2011, there were no impairments recorded on equity securities without readily determinable fair values.

Foreclosed assets: Upon transfer from the loan portfolio, foreclosed assets are adjusted to and subsequently carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Net realizable value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral, or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral and as such, we classify foreclosed assets as a nonrecurring Level 2. When the net realizable value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value but there is no observable market price, we record the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

Originated mortgage servicing rights: OMSR is subject to impairment testing. A valuation model, which utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates and prepayment speed assumptions currently quoted for comparable instruments and a discount rate determined by management, is used for impairment testing. If the valuation model reflects a value less than the carrying value, originated mortgage servicing rights are adjusted to fair value through a valuation allowance as determined by the model. As such, we classify loan servicing rights subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 2.

Deposits: The fair value of demand, savings, and money market deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts), and are classified as Level 1. Fair values for variable rate certificates of deposit approximate their recorded carrying value. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. As such, certificates of deposit are classified as Level 2.

Borrowed funds: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under overnight repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values. The fair values of other borrowed funds are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current incremental borrowing arrangements.

We elected to measure a portion of borrowed funds at fair value as of December 31, 2011. These borrowings were recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, with the fair value measurement estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Changes in the fair value of these borrowings are included in noninterest income. As such, other borrowed funds are classified as Level 2.

 

The activity in borrowings which the Corporation has elected to carry at fair value was as follows:

Commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and undisbursed loans: Fair values for off balance sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into consideration the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standings. As we do not charge fees for lending commitments outstanding, it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of these instruments.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although we believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement.

Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value in their Entirety on a Recurring Basis

Disclosure of the estimated fair values of financial instruments, which differ from carrying values, often requires the use of estimates. In cases where quoted market values in an active market are not available, we use present value techniques and other valuation methods to estimate the fair values of our financial instruments. These valuation methods require considerable judgment and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the assumptions made and methods used.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value in their entirety on a recurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets are as follows as of:

NOTE 13 – OPERATING SEGMENTS

Our reportable segments are based on legal entities that account for at least 10% of net operating results. The operations of Isabella Bank as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 and each of the three and six month periods then ended, represented 90% or more of the our consolidated total assets and operating results. As such, no additional segment reporting is presented.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

ISABELLA BANK CORPORATION FINANCIAL REVIEW

(All dollars in thousands, except per share data)

This section reviews the financial condition and results of operations of Isabella Bank Corporation and its subsidiaries for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. This analysis should be read in conjunction with our 2011 annual report and with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes, beginning on page 3 of this report. A comprehensive list of acronyms and abbreviations used throughout this discussion is included in “Note 1 – Basis of Presentation” of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Executive Summary

While there have been slight improvements in the local, regional, and national economies, there still remains a large degree of economic uncertainty. Despite the challenges of the current economic environment and increased regulatory compliance costs, we continue to remain profitable. Our continued success throughout these challenging times is a direct result of our unwavering focus on community banking principles, prudent underwriting standards, and long term sustainable growth. These values have enabled us to continue to meet the needs of the communities we serve which translates in increased shareholder value.

As a result of our continued success and our desire to expand into complimentary markets, we are anticipating opening a new full service banking office in Freeland, Michigan in late fall 2012. The new location will complement our existing office locations and increase our brand awareness in the Freeland area.

Recent Legislation

The Health Care and Education Act of 2010 and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, and the JOBS Act, have already or could have a significant impact on the Corporation’s operating results in future periods. While the legislation has been passed for these acts, much of the regulations have yet to be written. As such, some of the potential impact on our operations has yet to be determined. Of these three acts, The Dodd-Frank Act has had, and is likely to have, the most significant impact. It made sweeping changes in the regulation of financial institutions aimed at strengthening the sound operation of the financial services sector. As a result of the implementation of some of the provisions, we have had increases in compensation costs and this trend is expected to continue.

In June 2012, the FFIEC proposed new capital requirements for all financial institutions. In general, the proposal adds a new capital standard of equity capital to assets and increases the minimum capital ratios to be considered well capitalized. While these proposals are not yet final, they could significantly impact our capital requirements, which could impact our ability to pay dividends.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is our primary source of income. Interest income includes loan fees of $809 and $1,456 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $655 and $1,221 during the same periods in 2011. For analytical purposes, net interest income is adjusted to an FTE basis by adding the income tax savings from interest on tax exempt loans and securities, thus making year to year comparisons more meaningful.

AVERAGE BALANCES, INTEREST RATE, AND NET INTEREST INCOME

The following schedules present the daily average amount outstanding for each major category of interest earning assets, nonearning assets, interest bearing liabilities, and noninterest bearing liabilities. This schedule also presents an analysis of interest income and interest expense for the periods indicated. All interest income is reported on a FTE basis using a 34% tax rate. Nonaccruing loans, for the purpose of the following computations, are included in the average loan amounts outstanding. FRB and FHLB restricted equity holdings are included in accrued income and other assets.

VOLUME AND RATE VARIANCE ANALYSIS

The following table sets forth the effect of volume and rate changes on interest income and expense for the periods indicated. For the purpose of this table, changes in interest due to volume and rate were determined as follows:

Volume Variance—change in volume multiplied by the previous year’s rate.

Rate Variance—change in the FTE rate multiplied by the previous year’s volume.

The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Historically low interest rates continue to compress our net interest margin yield. Some of this margin compression has also been caused by a shift in composition of earning assets. Our strategy of growing net interest income through volume has increased our reliance on investment securities to generate this interest income as loan demand continues to be soft. This strategy has led to increases in net interest income at the cost of accelerating the reduction in net interest margin yield as investment securities earn lower returns than loans. To offset some of the declines in net interest margin yield, we reduced future interest expense by restructuring $60,000 of FHLB advances in the first quarter of 2012. This modification strategy is anticipated to reduce interest expense by approximately $450 for 2012.

Despite these efforts, we anticipate that net interest margin yield will continue to decline due to the following factors:

 

   

While acknowledging some improvement in the economy, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) continues its stance for accommodative monetary policy by stating that the federal funds rate would likely remain at exceptionally low levels at least through late 2014, coupled with continued discussions of additional economic stimulus.

 

   

As loan demand is expected to remain soft, investment securities will continue to increase as a percentage of earning assets.

 

   

The rates earned on interest earning assets will continue to decline faster than rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The viability of any financial institution is ultimately determined by its management of credit risk. Loans outstanding represent our single largest concentration of risk. The ALLL is our estimation of probable losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio. We allocate the ALLL throughout the loan portfolio based on our assessment of the underlying risks associated with each loan segment. Our assessments include allocations based on specific impairment allocations, historical losses, internally assigned credit ratings, and past due and nonaccrual balances. A portion of the ALLL is not allocated to any one loan segment, but is instead a reflection of other qualitative risks within the loan portfolio.

The following table summarizes our charge off and recovery activity for the:

Loans Past Due and Loans in Nonaccrual Status

Increases in past due and nonaccrual loans can have a significant impact on the allowance for loan losses. To determine the potential impact, and corresponding estimated losses, we analyze our historical loss trends on loans past due 30-89 days, 90 days or more, and nonaccrual loans. A summary of loans past due and in nonaccrual status, including the composition of the ending balance of nonaccrual loans by type, is included in “Note 6 – Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses” of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

We have taken a proactive approach to avoid foreclosures on borrowers who are willing to work with us in modifying their loans, thus making them more affordable. While this approach has allowed certain borrowers to develop a payment structure that will allow them to continue making payments in lieu of foreclosure, it has contributed to a significant increase in the level of loans classified as TDR. The implementation of ASU No. 2011-02 “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” has also contributed to the increased level of TDR’s. The modifications have been extremely successful for us and our customers as very few of the modified loans have resulted in foreclosures. Troubled debt restructurings that have been placed in nonaccrual status may be placed back on accrual status after six months of continued performance.

The following table summarizes our troubled debt restructurings component of impaired loans as of:

Loans are placed in nonaccrual status when the foreclosure process has begun, generally after a loan is 90 days past due, unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. Upon transferring the loans to nonaccrual status, an evaluation to determine the net realizable value of the underlying collateral is performed. This evaluation is used to help determine if any charge offs are necessary. Loans may be placed back on accrual status after six months of continued performance.

We continue to devote considerable attention to identifying impaired loans and adjusting the net carrying value of these loans to their current net realizable values through the establishment of a specific reserve or the recording of a chargeoff. We believe that all loans deemed to be impaired have been recognized.

We believe that the level of the ALLL is appropriate as we have yet to see a consistent and sustainable economic recovery and our net loans charged off, past due loans, and nonperforming loans remain at historically high levels. We will continue to closely monitor overall credit quality and our policies and procedures related to the analysis of the ALLL to ensure that the allowance for loan losses remains appropriate.

Significant changes in noninterest income are detailed below:

 

   

We continuously analyze various fees related to deposit accounts including service charges and NSF and overdraft fees. Based on these analyses, we make any necessary adjustments to ensure that our fee structure is within the range of our competitors, while at the same time making sure that the fees remain fair to deposit customers. NSF and overdraft represent the largest single component of service charges and fees. While we have experienced significant increases in deposit accounts, NSF and overdraft fees have declined. This decline has been the result of reduced overdraft activity by our customers as well as changes in banking regulations. Based on this trend, we do not anticipate a significant change in NSF and overdraft fees in the foreseeable future.

 

   

As customers have continued to increase their dependence on ATM and debit cards, we have seen a corresponding increase in fees. We do not anticipate significant changes to ATM and debit fee structure; however, we do expect that these fees will continue to increase as the usage of debit cards increases.

 

   

The recent decline in offering rates on residential real estate loans has led to a significant increase in the level of refinancing activity. This increase in activity has resulted in substantial increases in the gain on sale of mortgage loans, while contributing to fluctuations in the value of our OMSR portfolio. Additionally, this increased refinancing activity has also been the primary driver behind the increase in income from Corporate Settlement Solutions as their primary sources of revenues are title insurance policies and fees for mortgage closings. We anticipate this trend to continue for the remainder of 2012.

 

   

Fluctuations in the gains and losses related to trading securities and borrowings measured at fair value are caused by interest rate variances.

 

   

During the first quarter of 2012, we identified several pools of mortgage-backed securities with significant unrealized gains. As the interest rates of the underlying mortgages were significantly higher than the current offering rates for similar mortgages, we elected to realize these gains through the sales of such securities as the investments would have likely been paid off in the near term through refinancing activity. We do not anticipate any further significant investment sales during the remainder of 2012.

Earnings on corporate owned life insurance policies have increased from 2011 as a result of the purchase of an additional $4,000 in policies in the third quarter of 2011. Earnings are expected to approximate current levels for the remainder of 2012.

 

   

The fluctuation in all other income is spread throughout various categories, none of which are individually significant.

Significant changes in noninterest expenses are detailed below:

 

   

The increase in compensation is due to annual merit increases and our continued growth as well as additional staff additions to help comply with the Dodd Frank Act and other recently passed regulations. Benefit costs increased significantly during the second quarter as a result of increased pension expenses, which was triggered by a reduction in the plan’s discount rate. We expect that pension expenses will exceed budgeted levels by an additional $70 over the remainder of 2012 as a result of this discount rate reduction.

 

   

Marketing and donations relations expenses increased in 2012 primarily as a result of increased contribution expense to the Isabella Bank Foundation. Marketing and donations are expected to normalize throughout the remainder of 2012.

FDIC insurance premiums have declined since 2011 due to a change in the premium calculation. These premiums are expected to approximate current levels for the remainder of 2012.

 

   

The increase in consulting fees is primarily related to consulting services employed to review the FHLB advance restructure (see “Volume and Rate Variance Analysis”, above). Consulting fees are anticipated to approximate current levels for the remainder of 2012.

 

   

As a result of decreases in foreclosure and repossession activity, we have seen significant declines in foreclosed asset and collection expenses. These expenses have also declined as we have been able to recover expenses through our collection efforts. These collection efforts have actually led to a net negative expense for the current quarter. Foreclosed asset and collection expenses are expected to decline for the remainder of 2012.

 

   

During the first quarter of 2012, we recorded a credit impairment on an AFS investment security through earnings due to a bond being downgraded by Moody’s to Caa3. We will continue to monitor the investment portfolio throughout the year for other potential other-than-temporary impairments. For further discussion, see “Note 5 – Available-For-Sale Securities” to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

   

The fluctuations in all other expenses are spread throughout various categories, none of which are individually significant.

As shown above, we were able to grow our balance sheet since December 31, 2011. The growth in deposits was supplemented by an increase in borrowed funds. As loans have remained essentially unchanged since year end 2011, these funds were deployed into available-for-sale investment securities to generate additional net interest income. We anticipate that loan growth will continue to be a challenge and that deposit growth will approximate current levels over the remainder of the year.

The FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket lien on all qualified 1-4 family residential real estate loans and certain mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. Advances are also secured by FHLB stock. We had the ability to borrow up to an additional $100,781 based on assets currently pledged as collateral as of June 30, 2012. During the first quarter of 2012, we reduced funding costs by modifying the terms of $60,000 of FHLB advances. This modification strategy extended the duration of our interest bearing liabilities and will reduce interest expense by approximately $450 for 2012.

Capital

Capital consists solely of common stock, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income. We offer dividend reinvestment, employee and director stock purchase, and shareholder stock purchase plans. Under the provisions of these plans, we issued 54,900 shares or $1,322 of common stock during the first six months of 2012, as compared to 61,057 shares or $1,090 of common stock during the same period in 2011. We also offer the Directors Plan which allows participants to purchase stock units, in lieu of cash payments. Pursuant to this plan, we increased shareholders’ equity by $295 and $307 during the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

We have approved a publicly announced common stock repurchase plan. During the first six months of 2012 and 2011, pursuant to this plan, we repurchased 41,581 shares of common stock at an average price of $23.93 and 50,458 shares of common stock at an average price of $18.11, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, we were authorized to repurchase up to an additional 127,415 shares of common stock.

Accumulated other comprehensive income increased $1,471 for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, net of tax. The increase is a result of unrealized gains on available-for-sale investment securities.

There are no significant regulatory constraints placed on our capital. The FRB’s current recommended minimum primary capital to assets requirement is 6.0%. Our primary capital to adjusted average assets, which consists of shareholders’ equity plus the allowance for loan losses less acquisition intangibles, was 8.24% as of June 30, 2012.

The FRB has established a minimum risk based capital standard. Under this standard, a framework has been established that assigns risk weights to each category of on and off balance sheet items to arrive at risk adjusted total assets. Regulatory capital is divided by the risk adjusted assets with the resulting ratio compared to the minimum standard to determine whether a corporation has adequate capital. The minimum standard is 8%, of which at least 4% must consist of equity capital net of goodwill. The following table sets forth the percentages required under the Risk Based Capital guidelines and our values as of:

The FRB and FDIC also prescribe minimum capital requirements for Isabella Bank. At June 30, 2012, the Bank exceeded these minimum capital requirements. Recently passed legislation will likely increase the required level of capital for banks. This increase in capital levels may have an adverse impact on our ability to grow and pay dividends.

Liquidity

Liquidity is monitored regularly by our Market Risk Committee, which consists of members of senior management. The committee reviews projected cash flows, key ratios, and liquidity available from both primary and secondary sources.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and demand deposits due from banks, certificates of deposit held in other financial institutions, trading securities, and available-for-sale securities. These categories totaled $506,064 or 36.6% of assets as of June 30, 2012 as compared to $467,344 or 34.9% as of December 31, 2011. Liquidity is important for financial institutions because of their need to meet loan funding commitments, depositor withdrawal requests, and various other commitments including expansion of operations, investment opportunities, and payment of cash dividends. Liquidity varies on a daily basis as a result of customer activity.

Our primary source of funds is deposits, which includes noninterest bearing deposits, or checking accounts.

We have the ability to borrow from the FHLB, the FRB, and through various correspondent banks as federal funds purchased. These funding methods typically carry a higher interest rate than traditional market deposit accounts. Some borrowed funds, including FHLB Advances, FRB Discount Window Advances, and repurchase agreements, require us to pledge assets, typically in the form of certificates of deposits held in other financial institutions, investment securities, or loans as collateral. We had the ability to borrow up to an additional $100,781 based on the assets currently pledged as collateral.

Market Risk

Our primary market risks are interest rate risk and liquidity risk. We have no significant foreign exchange risk and do not utilize interest rate swaps or derivatives, except for interest rate locks and forward loan commitments, in the management of IRR. Any changes in foreign exchange rates or commodity prices would have an insignificant impact on our interest income and cash flows.

IRR is the exposure of our net interest income to changes in interest rates. IRR results from the difference in the maturity or repricing frequency of a financial institution’s interest earning assets and its interest bearing liabilities. IRR is the fundamental method in which financial institutions earn income and create shareholder value. Excessive exposure to IRR could pose a significant risk to our earnings and capital.

The FRB, our primary Federal regulator, has adopted a policy requiring us to effectively manage the various risks that can have a material impact on our safety and soundness. The risks include credit, interest rate, liquidity, operational, and reputational. We have policies, procedures and internal controls for measuring and managing these risks. Specifically, the IRR policy and procedures include defining acceptable types and terms of investments and funding sources, liquidity requirements, limits on investments in long term assets, limiting the mismatch in repricing opportunity of assets and liabilities, and the frequency of measuring and reporting to our Board of Directors.

The primary technique to measure interest rate risk is simulation analysis. Simulation analysis forecasts the effects on the balance sheet structure and net interest income under a variety of scenarios that incorporate changes in interest rates, the shape of yield curves, interest rate relationships, and loan prepayments. These forecasts are compared against net interest income projected in a stable interest rate environment. While many assets and liabilities reprice either at maturity or in accordance with their contractual terms, several balance sheet components demonstrate characteristics that require an evaluation to more accurately reflect their repricing

behavior. Key assumptions in the simulation analysis include prepayments on loans, probable calls of investment securities, changes in market conditions, loan volumes and loan pricing, deposit sensitivity and customer preferences. These assumptions are inherently uncertain as they are subject to fluctuation and revision in a dynamic environment. As a result, the simulation analysis cannot precisely forecast the impact of rising and falling interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to many other factors, including changes in balance sheet components, interest rate changes, changes in market conditions, and management strategies.

Our interest rate sensitivity is estimated by first forecasting the next twelve months of net interest income under an assumed environment of a constant balance sheet and constant market interest rates (base case). We then compare the results of various simulation analyses to the base case. At June 30, 2012, we projected the change in net interest income during the next twelve months assuming market interest rates were to immediately decrease by 100 basis points and increase by 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points in a parallel fashion over the entire yield curve during the same time period. We did not project scenarios showing decreases in interest rates beyond 100 basis points as this is considered extremely unlikely given prevailing interest rate levels. These projections were based on our assets and liabilities remaining static over the next twelve months, while factoring in probable calls and prepayments of certain investment securities and real estate residential and consumer loans. While it is extremely unlikely that interest rates would immediately increase at these levels, we feel that these extreme scenarios help us identify potential gaps and mismatches in the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. We regularly monitor our forecasted net interest income sensitivity to ensure that it remains within established limits.

The following table summarizes our interest rate sensitivity as of:

A 400 basis point reduction was not applicable as of June 30, 2011 as we were not utilizing this scenario as part of our interest rate sensitivity analysis at that time.

The secondary method to measure interest rate risk is gap analysis. Gap analysis measures the cash flows and/or the earliest repricing of our interest bearing assets and liabilities. This analysis is useful for measuring trends in the repricing characteristics of the balance sheet. Significant assumptions are required in this process because of the imbedded repricing options contained in assets and liabilities. A substantial portion of our assets are invested in loans and investment securities with issuer call options. Residential real estate and consumer loans have imbedded options that allow the borrower to repay the balance prior to maturity without penalty, while commercial and agricultural loans have prepayment penalties. The amount of prepayments is dependent upon many factors, including the interest rate of a given loan in comparison to the current interest rate for residential real estate loans, the level of sales of used homes, and the overall availability of credit in the market place. Generally, a decrease in interest rates will result in an increase in cash flows from these assets. A significant portion of our securities are callable or subject to prepayment. The call option is more likely to be exercised in a period of decreasing interest rates. Investment securities, other than those that are callable, do not have any significant imbedded options. Savings and NOW accounts may generally be withdrawn on request without prior notice. The timing of cash flows from these deposits is estimated based on historical experience. Time deposits have penalties that discourage early withdrawals.

The following tables provide information about assets and liabilities that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The principal amounts of assets and time deposits maturing were calculated based on the contractual maturity dates. Savings and NOW accounts are based on management’s estimate of their future cash flows.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We are party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. These financial instruments are entered into in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in a particular class of financial instrument.

The following table summarizes our credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk as of:

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit

   $ 113,049       $ 102,822   

Commercial and standby letters of credit

     4,103         4,461   

Commitments to grant loans

     29,149         21,806   

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These commitments may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. These commitments to extend credit and letters of credit generally mature within one year. The credit risk involved in these transactions is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. We evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon the extension of credit, is based on a credit evaluation of the borrower. While we consider standby letters of credit to be guarantees, the amount of the liability related to such guarantees on the commitment date is not significant and a liability related to such guarantees is not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.

Commitments to grant loans 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. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Commitments to grant loans include loans committed to be sold to the secondary market.

Our exposure to credit-related loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter parties to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit could be up to the contractual notional amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies as we do for extending loans to customers. No significant losses are anticipated as a result of these commitments.

Forward Looking Statements

This report contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is included in this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions. Forward looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic conditions, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the FRB, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, fluctuation in the value of collateral securing our loan portfolio, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in our market area, and accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Further information concerning Isabella Bank Corporation and its business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included in our filings with the SEC.
